What do you do?—Notice the numbers for the errors I underlined
on the rubric and correctly mark them with an X on the form. Mark if you want
to do the response to another student’s peer review of your paper. (It’s for
points and your brain.) Best advice: See your work as others will see it. Check your paper out and compare side by side each thing
I marked with the sources and do it meticulously. ·
If you do not see why, come to my office hours bringing
your book and your paper and the source if you have a specific place in it. ·
If you think I am wrong, show me. I believe in evidence
and I am fine with correcting my error. Caution: if you do not return it, you get
nothing—a 0. |

People who ignored this help made their work a lot harder and their paper a lot weaker. Follow instructions. Tip for a Habit That Will Help You Keep Your Job or Avoid Trouble with the Law:
1. Read them over at the beginning of the assignment—like the 1st day. Ask then.
2. Read them over again before you start research. Mark them so you know the actions. (Explained in class.)
3. Read them over again before you start to plan your writing. Check your marks carefully.
4. Read them over again before you submit your print or your file. Actually check off that you did each action.
For History I, I highlighted in yellow the specific section of the primary about the question. You wrote on some other words.
For History II, I:
· Covered in the instructions how to use a search word (using Ctrl-F) to find a specific section of a primary. (FYI: With digital primaries I use search words to seek out meaning.)
· Listed in the description for each Primary were specific words that would take you directly to a specific section of the primary about the question
It means nothing negative. I read all papers at least 3 times. 2 of the times are when I highlight:
1. Anything you put in “” I highlighted with pink
2. Any citation I highlighted with blue
It means a problem. I used these colors this way:
·
If you had words that you should have put in “” I underlined
in pink
·
If you had a statement of fact that should have had citation, I wrote ( ) in blue and frequently wrote F3 or the word cite
between the ( F3 ) or
( cite ) because F3
is in the “F” Paper column of the rubric and F3 means:
3. Did not cite accurately and according to the directions.
My best ideas come from my students. I had a student say to me “you tell me what I am doing wrong the rubric” but you are “not telling me how to do this right.” I realized that I could stick in front of the error the # of the Good Habit that would prevent that problem.
If, for example, I write F3 beside a line of words in your paper that means:
· That is a serious enough error to cause an “F” letter grade
·
But, if you click on Good Habits for Evidence 3 in the tutorial at Evidence
Requirements, you can find habits—ways to work—that will prevent that serious
error that can cause an “F.”
(If you want more help than the Good Habits for Evidence tutorial, just ask. I
repeat that I am glad to invest in each one of you with a phone conference or a
face-to-face meeting)
D4 is in the “D” Paper column of the rubric and it means:
4. Plagiarized or did “half-copy” plagiarism (also called “patchwrite”).
The best thing to do is to click on Evidence Requirements and then scroll to the bottom to:
· This heading - Reference: Pages 744-747 The Bedford Handbook on the Chicago Manual of Style - the standard for history.
·
This file -
Hacker_page746_Half-CopyPlagiarism_explained_with_examples.pdf
At the top of 746, it states that “half-copy” plagiarism can be:
· “mixing the author’s words with your own without using quotations marks”
· “plugging your own synonyms [or what you think are synonyms] into the author’s sentence structure”
If you compare the words that you wrote in the paper and that I underlined in
pink with the words in the primary or textbook, you probably will see what I
mean easily. If you do not see it, then we can talk. If you use the words I
underlined in pink without quotation marks and if the expert has the source, they will call it plagiarism or at a
minimum dangerous carelessness.
