About the Deal
Rubric and the Analysis of Primaries Rubric
Reminder: If you return All papers, there is a 50 point extra credit (Will explain why
extra credit orally)
Papers were
- 1st Primary
- Unit 1 Writing (also has Deal on it)
- Analysis of Primaries
- Unit 2 Writing – you may turn that in as late as the day of your Final Exam
(Will explain why more time orally)
FYI: Within the written work, I found some scattered Hamilton extra credits and things like that. I also have yet to enter some classes’ Unit 1 Concept written answer (will enter the full 10 if you tried it) and Self-Management grade including those whose self-management in Unit 2 means that that grade replaces the 0 for Unit 1’s Self-Management.

Unit 2 Written Exam
Points: 50 points
Last moment to turn in: the start of
the hour of your final exam.
Do you have to check it out if you take
it? No. I put it at the end so people could take it separately and easily.
Caution: Given the errors I saw in those I looked at, I’d unstaple that only. I’d take it home and compare what you
said with the book to be sure:
- any quotation is exactly accurate and and the page
number you used is correct
- any fact in your own words is exactly accurate and the page number you used
is correct
- anything used (fact or quotation) is right for the question asked

Caution: Key fact that I discovered some student did
not realize
about evidence and about half-copy plagiarism
If your boss or your prof wants something
different, do it. In this class and if you want to be OK in the real world,
understand this:
· If 1 below was not the rules of life, science wouldn’t work. If science wouldn’t work, neither will history.
· If 2 and 3 below were not the rules of life and property in the US, people could fake that they had knowledge and thereby eventually destroy it.
This is from the Tutorial on Evidence and
Good Habits with the numbers added to the table.
How
Citation and Quotation Marks Fits Together with Facts in Your Own Words and
Facts in the Author’s Words
If you use a fact in the author’s words,
citation is not enough; you must also use quotation marks.
What are the rules for citation and use of quotation marks? The rules vary
depending upon whether you are writing:
· A fact from the source in your own words
· A fact in the author’s words (in other words, you are quoting):
They have the same requirements for citation (although your professor may choose not to require it for an assignment). They have different requirements for quotation marks.
|
What Kind of Fact Are You Using |
Do You Need Citation (Page # etc.)? |
Do You Need Quotation Marks (“”)? |
|
A fact in your own words |
Yes <Notice this. 1 |
No <Notice this. |
|
A fact in the author’s words |
Yes 2 |
Yes <Notice this. 3 |
Specifics about this course:
·
If you use the author’s words, you
must use quotation marks. In this
course, you may not plagiarize or
“half-copy” plagiarize.
·
If you
quote, you also must use the rules for quoting. The Brain Trick (above) is your
best way out. If you still have
questions, please ask.
What’s on Your
Rubric and What You Do with the Bottom Section
1.
You mark the bottom of the rubric with
the Good Habits for Evidence you need to change and you sign that you will be
checking that Good Habit’s Tip.
Where is the tip?
What if you need extra explanation?
2.
You return the rubric with your
signature and marks on the habits + your paper +
You can sign it out but if you don’t return all of it within the week, you lose
all possible points and the opportunity to replace those points and to get the
40 points extra credit..
3.
I compare what you marked about the
habits with what I marked on the rubric,
Common Problems of
Those Who Did Not Get the Deal
1. Didn’t read carefully. Skipped over sentences that meant that what they wrote was at best unsupported but at worst flat out untrue and unkind to the humans who lived that life.
2.
Perhaps assumed that collecting any words or copying any words would
be enough for an answer.
They have to be words that answer the question you were asked and you chose to
prepare for.
3. Perhaps assumed that bosses and this teacher will not read your stuff carefully.
· They will because they asked you to do something enough that they were willing to give you money for your time and expertise.
· I will because I worked in industry long enough to know that my doing this is not just good for your knowledge of history (which matters to me greatly), but also your survival in a rapidly changing world and workplace (which also matters to me greatly).
Order of What We Do
1.
You ask any questions you have about the above stuff.
2.
With some classes, I hand out the scantron
with the concepts written grade and pick it up.
3.
I hand out the papers to those who wrote the Unit 1 Writing
4.
You all look at your papers and you ask any questions that might
apply to everyone in the room.
5.
You fill out your section and ask questions if needed.
6.
I ask if anyone is done and you hand your papers to me.
Those who didn’t write the Unit 1 Writing can also leave.
7.
If anyone needs additional help, I answer individually outside of
class.
Reminder About the Deal Made with the 1st Writing
At the top of your rubric, you see 3 numbers which you can replace
if you prepare carefully for Unit 1 Writing Exam and follow the 5 Good Habits
for Evidence
·
Out of 10 points, a grade on the historical content (A = 9, B = 8,
C = 7 and so on).
If it is a lower grade than you want, prepare carefully for Unit 1 Writing
Exam’s content.
If you change how you work, I’ll change
this grade with the equivalent
Unit 1 grade (a 50 point assignment, 25 on content and 25 for good habits).
Equivalent: A B on a 25 point assignment is 20 and a B on a 10 point assignment
is 8.)
·
An all or nothing grade of 10 points on whether you followed the 5
Good Habits for Evidence
Why is all or nothing? Ask if you want to know.
If you want full points, prepare carefully for Unit 1 Writing Exam’s content.
If you change how you work, I’ll change
this grade.
·
A 1.11 as a placeholder if you did not yet quite qualify for the
40 point extra credit for doing the 5 Good Habits for Evidence the first time
Since you tried this time, you can have the same deal on the Unit 1 Written
Exam.
If you change how you work and
follow all 5 Good Habits for Evidence on Unit 1 Written Exam, I’ll change the 1.11 to 40.
