What’s new is in this blue font and if needed with big font.

 

I am glad to help any of you—including with a conference.

 

Background on what we are going to do.

1. If there are colors on your paper, what do the colors mean?

 

2. Where did the strange numbers come from on your rubric for your Comparison (COMP)?

·         The values charts for 50-point Comparisons built with Excel

·         Common calculations

 

3. What is the 0 or 10 for the Good Habits for Evidence grade for this Comparison (GHE)?

 

4. Note well:

·         I realize that some of you really worked hard. You will be great with minor improvements or change of habit.

·         I found that some of you tried hard to do something that—to my knowledge from working in industry and from examining publications on concerns expressed by employers—no expert in a field (whether a upper-level prof whose reference you will need or a boss) will want.
I have found that all students can do this work. What’s required to do that is that you change your habits.

 

Corny as it may sound to people, I have faith that you all can do this. How you work (not brilliance) determines your success.

 

For some of you it’s just a matter of facing that no one would ever pay you for how you are working.

 

5. You got extra credit for completing the form. Update: I will go ahead and enter it. Some of you earned it already; some of you can earn it. Whether you keep the 20 depends on your Unit 2 Comparison’s Good Habits for Evidence score.

 

Reminder re the Good Habits for Evidence score: the Good Habits for Evidence goes up to 20 on Unit 2 and to 30 on the Major Comparison.

 

Reminder: To get the extra credit in the offer below and the offer with your Unit 1 Comparison,

a)      You must complete the form.

b)      I must still be able to read all of my marks and comments.

 

c)       I must get everything back (paper & rubric & this sheet).

If you need more time or you want to make a copy, you may check it out today or wait and check it out next week, but—if I don’t get everything back—you get 0 for the extra credit and the paper.

d)      If you want a conference, I am glad to do it.

 

The INITIAL Offer about This Introductory Comparison AND about the Unit 1 Comparison

You have the grade for the writing and the grade for the separate Good Habits for Evidence grade (and all or nothing grade of 10 points) for this comparison. You had had an offer of 20 points extra credit if you had did all of the Good Habits for Evidence.

 

The Offer about Unit 2’s Comparison – the new deal effective 10/30 (10/31 in MWF classes)

If you make no errors in Good Habits for Evidence for Unit 2’s Comparison, I will gladly take that letter grade for Unit 2’s Comparison and replace the grade for the Unit 1 Comparison AND the Introductory Comparison.

Example: You make a C+ on the 50-point Unit 2’s Comparison. I will change the 20-point Introductory Comparison to a C+ and the 50-point Unit 1’s Comparison  to a C+

 

What You Had Available When You Submitted the Good Habits for Evidence Responsibility Paper

The Good Habits for Evidence

All of the Good Habits for Evidence that you used at the beginning – You don’t have to go to Getting Started to see it. You can just click on the link above.

How to get specifics on what you need to do based on your marked paper

This link is for another purpose but it has information that some of you need.

The marks on your papers are—most of the time—key words. You look in the left column for those key words (such as the word Chicago) or phrase (such as the phrase Changed words). That row tells you both an explanation of the problem and where you go to get information.
