After reading through the draft one time, write a summary (3-5 sentences) of the paper that
includes your assessment of how well the essay meets the assignment requirements as
specified in the syllabus and the rubric.
The prevalence of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults is on the rise, with an
increasing number of diagnoses in recent years. This shift in perception and diagnosis can be attributed to
changing beliefs about ADHD persisting into adulthood. While it was once thought to be primarily a
childhood disorder, studies now show that ADHD can continue into adulthood. This change in awareness
and understanding has contributed to the higher numbers of diagnosed adults.
After a second, closer reading of the draft, answer each of the following questions. Positive
answers will give you specific elements of the draft to praise; negative answers will indicate
areas in need of improvement and revision. Please be sure to indicate at least three positive
aspects of the draft and at least three areas for improvement in reply to the questions at the
bottom of this worksheet.
