In finalizing your paper, you should integrate all recommended changes you received in the feedback from your instructor over the previous weeks. The elements that we worked on in this course (Methods and Discussion sections) should be combined with the final paper you submitted in SOSC 243. When combining all of these sections into one final draft, be sure to thoroughly review and edit the whole paper to be sure it flows smoothly. A strong recommendation would be to have someone else read your final draft before uploading it. Their review should focus particularly on identifying any grammatical errors. As for you, be sure to re-read your paper multiple times keeping in mind how it will be evaluated based on the grading rubric.
