General Videos on How to Do Writing Assignments in This Course

 

What does the Department require and what are the possible writing assignments?

 

      What Is a Comparison and Its Alternative Assignment

 

C assignment of two summaries or a B or A assignment of a comparison – With both you must be factually accurate.

 

How can the separate grade for Good Habits for Evidence help me?

 

Tip: Critical thinking about reality and using evidence is like a math problem that is too big for you to do in your head.

The two ways you can compare time in this course

The video above assumes you have already read rigorously and made the 5 Ws chart. These two videos provide those pre-steps:

·         Instructor’s example of how to read FOR evidence – Video to Come

 

·         Instructor’s example of a process that is simple and works– Video To Come

 

If you do not have a successful process to do your work, try this process.

·         Method to Read, Understand, and Write Fast – Video To Come

 

     5Ws chart used to create 2 summaries and 1 comparison

 

In any job, it is your responsibility to make sure that you catch your own errors. Start now so you will be ready when you need to be. Also, if you want a good reference from a professor in your major field, you must catch your own errors all the time.

 

Personal note: If you need each of these sets of tips BELOW made into videos, tell me.

5 Good Habits for Evidence and the Rubric

Tip: If you are writing for a boss or professor who does not want citations, you can write citations with endnotes as you work. When done, you copy your file for the boss or professor and remove the endnotes. When your boss or professor demands proof on something, you will know the exact  page. If you need details, ask.

 

Would anyone pay you?

 

If you had problems with:

·         Citation, use Bedford 1 and Bedford 2

 

·         “Half-copy” plagiarism, use Bedford 3

 

·         Quotations, use Bedford 4

 

Marks in the rubric and how you find that error on a specific line of your paper

 

 

How to prevent these errors:

·         How to verify content before you write

 

·         How to check evidence in your written work

 

·         How to proof quotations

 

·         (Basics about Quotations)

 

·         How to proofread for clarity

-

To recognize problems quickly, I highlight with different colors:

·         All words you have placed in quotation marks (“”)

·         All endnotes and other information about evidence

For why I grade this way, see the 1st video on the Endnotes below.
