Make sure that it is broken up into four sections with bulleted suggestions, just as in the Workshop Evaluation Guide. Then, post your peer-evaluation report as a “Reply” to your partner’s primary post. Note: All Workshop evaluation reports must be posted no later than 11:59 PM PST Friday March 8. No exceptions, please.
Please note that to earn any credit for this assignment, you must post your draft and post an evaluation report for your partner.

Continue revising your WA1 until you have reached a strong level of satisfaction with your work, then submit the final draft of your WA1 using the electronic portal on the Writing Assignment 1 page.
