Note: Almost of everything that is here I was
taught between the 4th and the 12th grade. These things
are basics, and they can make your life—not just your grade—better. They are
not just keys to evidence but to learning and thinking accurately These videos are very rough. I’m not good
at this yet. They are made with Jing—a free product and have Jing’s
advertisement at the top. If they help you, I will do them over in
summer with a better tool. If you see things that you need or that need
clarifications, please tell me so I can make this better. If you need
something explained personally, I am glad to do it. |

Purposes?

2. When you first receive feedback on a writing assignment, use the 2nd section.
3. If
in your feedback you have underlining in the “D” or “F” column of the Good

What are the Department’s objectives? |
This example from a 1000-point course (750 points for
objective work and 250 points for writing assignments) may help: If you did no writing assignments and only attempted
objective work (750 possible points) and did ·
C work (70%) on the objective assignments,
then you’d have 70% of 750 points= 525
out of the 1000 – an F ·
B work (80%) on the objective assignments,
then you’d have 80% of 750 points= 600
out of the 1000 – a D ·
A work (90%) on the objective assignments,
then you’d have 90% of 750 points= 675
out of the 1000 – a D · Perfect work (100%)on the objective assignments, then you’d have 100% of 750 points= 750 out of the 1000 – a C |

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

How can you catch your own errors in your work? |
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 on the right made into
videos, tell me. |
How to prevent errors: · How to verify content before you write · How to check evidence in your written work |
|
How and where do you place endnotes in your formal writing? Where do you need to be able to provide evidence for any answer? |
How to use endnotes with Microsoft Word and where to place those endnotes in your paper These examples show endnotes but the same rules for having evidence apply to an informal paper where you do not need to provide endnotes. With an informal paper, you do not need to use endnotes. If however I do not recognize the evidence as being from the required sources, I will enter a 1.11 as a grade and the feedback will tell you what you need to provide before I can enter the actual grade. |

You can use this chart from two directions.
· If you are looking for something you want to know about the feedback, scan down the 1st column “What Do You Want to Know?” and then read to the right in the row.
·
If you have underlining in the D and F column of
the rubric and you want to know how to prevent that error in the future, scan
down the 4th column “What
Prevents Marks in the F and D Columns in the 5 Good Habits for Evidence Rubric”
for the underlined word and then read to
the left in the row to find the tips you need to prevent the error.
Example: If you scan down the 4th column for the word Assumed, the column to the left provides
two links for preventing assumptions as you read and after you written.
