Do NOT just paste your critique in the "Add a comment" box after clicking on the Assignments tab, or after the project author's name in your list of assigned critiques.
Do NOT try to circumvent the whole process by using Google Doc because you need to know which sentences your predecessors have already critiqued in each project.

Sec. 11–401. Conduct Expected of Students
As stated in subsection 11–101(a), the University's expectations for conduct are grounded in the University Code of Conduct and the Student Honor Code. While subchapter 11–400 outlines specific examples of prohibited conduct, the University expects from its students a higher standard of conduct than the minimum needed to avoid discipline.Sec. 11–402.

===========================================================================
DOCUMENTATION ALSO NEEDED FOR CITIZENSHIP AND VOTING. Take the example of the kind of Fake News that influenced the last election:
===========================================================================
DOCUMENTATION IS ALSO NEEDED FOR PARTICIPATION IN SCHOLARLY DISCUSSION:
ARE FOOTNOTES REQUIRED? YES. DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED: All MEDIA AND QUOTATIONS ARE TO BE FOOTNOTED. "FOOTNOTES" MEAN THEN NOTES APPEAR AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAGE NOT AS NOTES AT THE END OF THE DOCUMENT
(UNLESS IT IS A WEB VERSION OF THE DOCUMENT; (If you use WORD, When you save the project as a webpage, the footnotes become endnotes.))
ALL FOOTNOTE NUMBERS SHOULD BE SEQUENTIAL AND NOT REPEATED. Footnote numbers should NOT be put in parentheses, should be set above the line, and follow any punctuation marks except a dash.
The footnotes for the pictures should supply the label or caption of the image and the complete source, that is, if the image is from the internet, the U.R.L., or the full bibliographic information, OR if it is from a book, including the page number. The footnotes for the quotes should indicate clearly who is speaking in the passage and supply the complete source, that is, the URL and date accessed, if from the internet, or the full bibliographic information, if a print source, including the page number.*
WHAT STYLE OF FOOTNOTE IS REQUIRED? THE U OF CHICAGO FOOTNOTE METHOD WITHOUT BIBLIOGRAPHY.
HERE IS THE OFFICIAL SOURCE HERE IS THE ABBREVIATED TURABIAN VERSION
SPECIFICALLY, I WANT THE VERSION WITHOUT BIBLIOGRAPHY: This University of Chicago footnote system requires complete bibliographical information at the bottom of the page. This way there is no need for a list of works cited or a bibliography at the end.
Concerning punctuation of quotes: When you quote within a quote remember to use italics or single quotation marks to set off the actual quotation from the rest of the words ascribed to the speaker.
*YOU MUST QUOTE AND CITE THE TEXT OF AT LEAST ONE ACTUAL, PRINTED BOOK NOT FOUND IN ANY WAY ON THE INTERNET, nor on our list of required books. IN THAT CASE ESPECIALLY YOU MUST MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE THE PAGE NUMBER OF THE CITATION. IF THE BOOK IS NOT IN OUR LIBRARY, PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU OBTAINED IT.
some examples of sections from the style manual:
14.20Sequencing of note numbers and symbols Notes, whether footnotes or endnotes, should be numbered consecutively, beginning with 1, throughout each article
14.39Footnotes—pros and cons Readers of scholarly printed works usually prefer footnotes for ease of reference. This is especially true where the notes are closely integrated into the text and make interesting reading, or if immediate knowledge of the sources is essential to readers.
13.65Frequent reference to a single source cited in a noteIn a work containing notes, the full citation of a source may be given in a note at first mention, with subsequent citations made parenthetically in the text. This method is especially suited to literary studies that use frequent quotations from a single source. In a study of Much Ado about Nothing, for example, the note would list the edition and include wording such as “Text references are to act, scene, and line of this edition.” A parenthetical reference to act 3, scene 4, lines 46–47, would then appear as in the example below. In references to a work of fiction, page numbers alone may be given.“Ye light o’ love with your heels! then, if your husband have stables enough, you’ll see he shall lack no barns,” says Beatrice (3.4.46–47).
14.14Notes In the system favored by many writers in the humanities, bibliographic citations are provided in notes,...... The notes, whether footnotes or endnotes, are usually numbered and correspond to superscripted note reference numbers in the text ….. In works with no bibliography, full details must be given in a note at first mention of any work cited; subsequent citations need only include a short form. Full citation in a note:]
Newton N. Minow and Craig L. LaMay, Inside the Presidential Debates: Their Improbable Past and Promising Future (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2008), 24–25.
CHAPTER IN AN EDITED BOOK When citing a chapter or similar part of an edited book, include the chapter author; the chapter title, in quotation marks; and the editor. Precede the title of the book with in.
Glenn Gould, “Streisand as Schwarzkopf,” in The Glenn Gould Reader, ed. Tim Page (New York: Vintage, 1984), 310
Citations of journals include the volume and issue number and date of publication. The volume number follows the italicized journal title in roman and with no intervening punctuation. A specific page reference is included in the notes; the page range for an article is [ALSO included IF THERE IS NO] bibliography. In the full citation, page numbers are preceded by a colon.

Sometimes clear verbs already lurk in disguise as nouns.
Ex: “Hamlet’s feeling for his father’s death is grievance.”
Find the lurking verb… How about grievance? Grievance = grieve.
So… “Hamlet grieves his father’s death.” Much simpler!
Instead of “the desert is very hot,” why not “the desert is scorching”?
Instead of “I ate the pie quickly,” why not “I devoured the pie”?
