Week 13 + Research Essay Due by Nov 23rd

Dear ACR 150 Students,

I see that your peer review sessions are going well. Please be sure to submit your comments on two of your classmate’s essays (or more, if you wish!) by tonight. Your peer review grade is 50/50 your draft and your critique of the work of others.

Next, how can you revise your research essay? Check the peer review DB and read your classmates’ feedback. Consider it, and either follow the advice or don’t–it’s up to you, the author. What else can you do to revise and improve your essay? (Some options–reach out to me and/or to the Writing Center.) Review the assignment requirements. Submit your final draft on Blackboard by Nov 23rd.

This week we are exploring the relationship between techlonogy and literacy. While there is no graded assignment to give you time and space to revise your essay, please take some time to examine this week’s course materials and perhaps find one of your own. Also, where do you stand on the technology and literacy debate?

Once you submit your essay, visit week 14 on the OpenLab and review the presentation guidelines. I look forward to reading your work and to your presentations.

I also wanted to mention this exciting research project opportunity that one of my colleagues is working on. See information below:
