CRITIQUES OF OTHERS ARE DUE ON BLACKBOARD BY

MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY, 10-9.

--you use the "comment" option to post your critique--

IF ALL OF YOUR CRITIQUES ARE NOT COMPLETED BY THEN YOU LOSE THE CHANCE TO EARN 74 POINTS AND RECEIVE, INSTEAD, -100 WITH NO CHANCE TO MAKE THIS UP, BECAUSE YOUR CRITIQUES ARE OF NO USE TO OTHERS AFTER THEY HAVE WRITTEN THEIR PAPERS. YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE RELYING ON YOU: DON'T LET THEM DOWN.

GRADING OF YOUR EVALUATIONS OF OTHERS: THE FIRST FIVE EVALUATIONS ARE WORTH UP TO SIX POINTS (30 POINTS). EACH EXTRA EVALUATION YOU DO IS WORTH UP TO FOUR POINTS (THUS YOU COULD EARN UP TO 74  POINTS IF YOU CRITIQUED THE TWELVE OTHER STUDENTS AS  WELL). .

THE STUDENTS YOU EVALUATE WILL ALSO BE PRINTING OUT YOUR EVALUATIONS TO INCLUDE IN THEIR FINAL VERSIONS OF THEIR ESSAY.

  IF, WHEN THE INSTRUCTOR EVALUATES THE REVISED VERSION OF THE ESSAY YOU CRITIQUED, HE FINDS HUGE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN YOUR EVALUATION AND HIS, HE WILL THEN REDUCE YOUR CRITIQUE GRADE ACCORDINGLY.

TO GET CREDIT FOR YOUR CRITIQUES YOU MUST PUT ALL YOUR EVALUATIONS INTO A SINGLE WORD DOCUMENT (INCLUDING, OF COURSE, THE NAME OF EACH STUDENT YOU EVALUATED AT THE TOP OF THAT CRITIQUE). PRINT OUT THIS DOCUMENT AND HAND IT IN TO THE INSTRUCTOR WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

NAME  ON THE LEFT, below "PROJECT BY" = subject of peer critique, THAT IS, = THE ESSAY YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CRITIQUE

names to the right, below "REVIEWER"= assignments for peer critiques (usually five each), that is: your name is to the right of the projects you are supposed to critique

You can do more, after you have done your assignments: start with those who have only four assigned reviewers
