General Videos on How to Do Writing Assignments in This Course

Videos to Help Students Use Evidence and Interpret Feedback on an Assignment

 

Personal 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.

 

How to Use This Webpage for 3 Different Purposes?

1.       When you first begin to use this webpage, to find what you want, scan down the column “What Do You Want to Know?” in either the 1st section on General Videos or the2nd  section on Videos on Feedback  to find questions you want answered.
Then look to the columns on the right:

·         To the second column, to click on the link to the video

·         To the third column, to see something shown or mentioned in the video

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 Habits for Evidence rubric, use the column “What Prevents Marks in the F and D Columns in the 5 Good Habits for Evidence Rubric” to locate the error that is underlined (such as the word Assumed).
Then look to the columns on the left for the videos and the links to help you prevent the error.

What are the Department’s objectives?

What Is the History Department Require to Do and What's the Consequence of a Minimum of 25% of Your Grade from Writing Assignments?

 

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

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 to proof quotations and
(Basics about Quotations)

·         How to proofread for clarity

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.

Videos to Help Students Interpret Feedback on an Assignment—and Prevent Those Errors in the Future

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.

What does the underlining in the D and F column mean about your work?

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

Bedford 1, 2, 3, and 4 are at the bottom of the folder.

What do the highlighted colors mean on your paper?

To recognize problems quickly, I highlight with different colors:

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

·         All endnotes and other information about evidence
