Case Assignment
Use the Revision Checklist referenced in your Background readings to review and refine your Module 5 SLP, which comprises your final paper for this course. Give an overall assessment of your SLP by addressing the questions on the checklist. For instance, you could start with an introduction explaining what the purpose of the paper is and then use short headings for the individual components (Subject, Audience, Purpose, Organization, Paragraphing, etc.) and finish with a conclusion. In the end, the assignment should clearly show that you evaluated your SLP with all the questions in mind and highlight some of the changes you might have made to your SLP based as a result of your application of the checklist.
Upload the resultant document at the conclusion of this module.
Assignment Expectations
Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your paper according to the questions.
Grammar and Spelling: While no points are deducted for minor errors, assignments are expected to adhere to standard guidelines of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence syntax. Points may be deducted if grammar and spelling impact clarity.
