Final Project/Class Folder due on Wednesday, May 20 at 3 PM 

This week, we will revise your two-article reviews in support of the campus wide assessment on student learning.  Bring a digital copy of your review AND the marked copy I handed back. This week -- in class and in office hours -- you can spend some time revising, with my support.  On Friday, please bring a HARD COPY to class.  We will mark the final version to turn in to me, with two kinds of commentary BY YOU:

 

  • highlight passages that support an item in the assessment rubric (another direction from campus TBD)
  • margin note on which item in the assessment rubric this marked material meets

 

We are "piloting this" as I have said in class. Bottom line for you? You have a rewrite opportunity and chance at two grades for this two-article review.

We need to anticipate the final project and the small assignments spread over the next month, so that you write the final project in stages.  In other words, you do not write the paper two days before the end of term.  

Final project discussion sheet here:

  • what to KNOW
  • what to DO
  • how to DO
