- Labor-Based Grading and Final Extra Labor Opportunities
- Williams and Bizup
Mapping Out the Rest of the Year
We are really in the home stretch now. Here’s the rest of the year:
- Wednesday in Ross computer lab: One Last APA review
- Friday: Research Presentation Sign Ups and Expectations
- Next Tuesday at midnight: Final Draft due via Canvas
- Week after the break: Research Presentations
- Revised papers will be due Wednesday December 7th at midnight
Labor-Based Grading and Extra Labor Opportunity
Before Wednesday’s class I will email everyone with their current final grade. Remember that the number in Canvas doesn’t automatically include your extra-labor points. If you are looking to earn a few points between now and the end of the year, then I highly encourage you to schedule an appointment this week with the writing center. They can work with you on discussing your data, developing your lit review, revising your methodology, or front-loading your introduction. If you schedule a Writing Center visit this week, I will award you 2 points on your final grade. DO IT!
Research Presentations
I’ll talk more about these on Friday. I wanted to alert you that, when we get back from break, we’ll spend that week sharing the results of your research. Everyone will be expected to give a 5-6 minute presentation. I’ll supply a Google Slides template for the presentation Friday and we will sign up for presentation slots.
I’m expecting 20-21 people to present, so we need 6-7 people to sign up for each day. If history serves illustrative, then I realize I will need to incentivize people to present on Monday. So I will award 1 point on the final grade for anyone who signs up for Monday.
Williams and Bizup
I wanted to spend one more day talking about sentence syntax, especially as you are (hopefully) in the throws of writing your papers.
