December 2009 Archives

You have until today to submit a revision, based on what you gained from the in-class peer review activity.

There is no final exam in this course.

Last class.

Bring a printout of your Paper 3 for an in-class peer review.  You will have until tomorrow to upload a final revision.

Grades for graduating seniors are due to the university on Monday.  Anyone planning to graduate in December should submit the final paper revision on this date. (There is no final exam.)

The instructions are the same as Portfolio 1, but I would like to encourage reflection and assessment -- I'm asking for a reflective portfolio, not just a list of links.

This portfolio should present the work that you didn't present as part of a previous portfolio.

If you have a reason to include an entry from the first part of class (maybe you have expanded it, or a new discussion has emerged on an old entry) feel free to include it -- just explain why you think it belongs in this portfolio

Try to post a longer-than-usual blog entry that demonstrates your ability to synthesize what you have learned over the semester.

Bring a printout of your peer review essay so that we can discuss it briefly in class.

I will collect your paper via Turnitin.com.

A 2-3 page essay, in which you assess two drafts written by your peers, and conclude with an informal evaluation of your own peer-review process.

We will spend time in class (Wednesday Dec 2) coming up with a rubric and guidelines.

For guidelines, use the questions that were part of the Turnitin.com peer review.

To find the papers you've been assigned, complete the "PR 1" exercise underneath the Paper 3 slot in Turnitin.com.
