Contacting Me the week of November 17

I have oral surgery scheduled next Wednesday, 11/18. Because of the preparation for the procedure and the recuperation time, I may not be able to respond to any email from Tuesday afternoon (11/17) through Thursday morning (11/19). No office hours on Wednesday (11/18) or Friday (11/20).

Work for the week of November 17

1. Turn in your Project 4 rough drafts for Peer Feedback by 11:59 PM on Tuesday, November 17 (no grace period). Follow these instructions to post your draft:

    • Go to Discussions in Canvas.
    • Choose the "Peer Review for Project 4" discussion.
    • Post a reply to the Discussion (Canvas Documentation) that includes the following information in the body of the message:
      • Tell your readers what you are analyzing and why you chose it in one sentence.
      • Ask your readers to look at anything you are trying to improve. Let them know the kind of advice you need.
      • If relevant, explain anything else you want your readers to know.
    • Provide your rough drafts, using one or both of these options:
      • Attach any documents to the Discussion message. Be sure your file is a *.doc, *.docx, or *.pdf file.
      • Provide a link to your draft in the Discussion message (e.g., for a Google Doc).

2. Respond to the two drafts you have been assigned for Peer Feedback by 11:59 PM on Thursday, November 19 (no grace period). Follow these instructions to provide feedback:

    • Follow the Canvas Documentation to find the drafts you have been assigned. Note that you must have turned in your draft on time to be assigned peer review partners.
    • Write a response to each of the two drafts (Canvas Documentation) that includes the following information:
      • Consider your immediate impression of the document(s), and add a comment to tell your partner your first thoughts.
      • If you notice any spelling errors, punctuation errors, or typos, you can mention them in your comments, but focus more on the content than editing and proofreading.
      • Add comments on the content of the draft:
        • Comment on at least three things your classmate does well.
        • Comment on at least three things that your classmate could improve.

3. Revise your draft based on the peer feedback you received, using the Canvas Documentation to find your peers’ feedback.
