We started class with a discussion of how you would turn in your work, and how you wanted the research project to be evaluated.
The class agreed as a whole to allocate points for the project as follows.
Data: 250
Writing Process: 125
Final essay: 125
Criteria for each of the components are stated on the assignment sheet, and have been clarified point by point in the blog posts. I think you have chosen a way to assign credit for the project that reflects the work and learning associated with what you actually did. Great.
The remaining time was spent with presentations. You provided your classmates with excellent feedback and clarification. Good job on this!
For next class:
I will be working through your blogs/providing comments to anything posted before this morning. This will be the last round of written comments to your work. If you have questions/requests for feedback - be in touch and set up a conference for Wed, Thur, Mon or Tues (I am not available on Friday).
Due at the end of class, 12.17: your final project, attached to an email which lists/links to all blogs with writing for Data credit, and all blogs with evidence of writing process.
Blog 18: Final Research Essay (due by the end of class)
Plan your time so that the email with your essay and your final blog will be sent by the end of class. I am also going to ask you to do some writing to help my revise/plan this course for the next time I teach it. What should be changed/kept the same/added/deleted? what advise would you give to a student coming in to this course about how to do well?
See you next week, and be in touch if you get stuck.
