This assignment measures Module Objective 2.2, which supports Course Competency 2.
Objectives

10 points, Process Work. About 3 hours.
Instructions
- Read the feedback on your first draft.
- Make each suggested change. If you disagree with a suggestion, add a comment with your reason.
- Check every bullet: does it begin with an action verb, is it specific, and does it describe a result as well as a task? Quantify where you can: “Designed 12 social media assets for a nonprofit campaign” is stronger than “Made social media posts.”
- Proofread spelling, punctuation, capitalization and consistent formatting. Keep body text at 9 point or larger.
- Optional: book a free review with GCC Career Services.
- Save as a PDF.
Accessibility
Make the document readable by a screen reader: use real heading styles (Heading 1 and Heading 2 in Google Docs or Word, paragraph styles in InDesign), keep text contrast high, add alt text to every image or logo, and export a tagged PDF (InDesign: Create Tagged PDF; Word or Google Docs: keep document structure tags on when you save as PDF).
Submission
Upload the revised PDF.
