• Excelsior College Online Writing Lab. (n.d.). Process (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Retrieved fromhttp://owl.excelsior.edu/posts/view/256 You are facing a particular scenario as a writer. You have a new colleague who is having trouble following a particular procedure in your workplace. Your supervisor asks you to write a process essay that would help this new employee and could be used in the future for other new employees. Your supervisor would like to make your essay a part of the “welcome” manual at your job.
For the assignment, you may choose the procedure. Your task is to write a clear essay that flows well and describes the procedure or process in a way that would make sense to someone new. It is important to keep your audience in mind as you write, since you may know the procedure well, but your audience does not.
See the Course Calendar for the due date.
Compose your work in a .doc or .docx file type using a word processor (such as Microsoft Word, etc.) and save it frequently to your computer.

Turnitin®
This course has Turnitin® fully integrated into the course dropbox. This means that you should only submit your assignments to the dropbox below. Please do not submit your assignment directly to Turnitin.com.
Once submitted, your assignment will be evaluated by Turnitin® automatically. You will be able to view an Originality Report within minutes of your first submission that will show how much of your work has been identified as similar to other sources such as websites, textbooks, or other student papers. Use your Originality Report as a learning tool to identify areas of your assignment that you may not have cited appropriately. You may resubmit your assignment through this dropbox as many times as you need to check to see if you have made improvements, until the due date of the assignment. However, once you have made your first submission, you will need to wait 24 hours after each subsequent submission to receive a new Originality Report. Plan accordingly as you draft your assignment. Once the due date has passed, your assignment submission will be considered final.

Please review the rubric prior to beginning your work so that you ensure your submission meets the criteria in place for this assignment. This assignment is worth 10% of your final course grade.
