Page ranges too big (like 110-120)– why dangerous
Avoid summaries as sources – why dangerous
Pages must be narrowed to match the content and exact topic and, with primaries, each of these:
· Time
· Person
· Situation
Best resource – the index
Offer 1 – If you just want to confirm that you understand all feedback and do not plan to write any more written work (and thus no points for them), full content (20 points) and full Good Habits for Evidence (20 points) for Unit 1 Writing instead of the grades on the paper.
Offer 2 (the
better offer for your future and for points) – If you either understand the
feedback or want help from me (and I’m glad to do it for each of you), you want
to try to avoid these errors in Unit 2 Writing.
If you don’t have those errors, then the grades (including the full 20 for the Good Habits from Unit 2 will
replace Unit 1’s.
How done
What it means
·
Means
the prof can prove the problems
·
Means—if
the prof missed something (and everyone makes mistakes), you can show the issues that might mean the prof was wrong
Why
do this if you do know you are making these errors – So you know a prof can
prove this.
Why
if you don’t know – So you know how you are hurting your future
Either
way I will be glad to invest in you.
Writing with the book open (Remedy: open/close)
Thinking about what you are going to write instead of what you need to teach
Unless the prof or boss asks for it, these things have little reward and high risk
· Giving a blow by blow (Risk: high error rate)
· Collecting everything and trying to use everything
· Trying to say everything (Risks…
Know everything so you are true; don’t try
to say it.
Make sure everything you say is true.
· Quoting a bunch of things from 1 page (Risk: not understanding the whole plus high risk of error rate if not proof)
· Using your memory of other stuff than the textbook (Risk: high error rate and excessive asides)
Consider: If no one would want to pay you for a skill, don’t
practice it.

Guys,
I’m not worried about any of your brains. It’s your habits that are zapping
you. Choose your habits.
