Taking stock of the course

now, in late October.  Think on the work of your review:  to share with others complex and important knowledge in your field.  This knowledge-rich document is a to know exercise.

Let's think about other document types, as an exercise to think about your final project. In the next two weeks, we will complete two assignments:

  •  directions assignment (to do genre)
  • redesign your two-article review to look like this sample

Let's think about a writing convention that helps us with clarity:  avoiding the dangling or misplaced modifier. Did you look at the Duke set of documents on science writing?  Here is an exhibit on dangling modifiers in science writing.
