Count Day

1. Get your Problem/ Solution with MLA Style ready to hand in. Keep it with you.

2. Organize your papers in a pile. Collect ONLY the graded copy with the rubric stapled to it. Put them in order from oldest to most recent. So that's:

Lego Directions - green
Kickstarter Review - blue
Kickstarter on Paper - purple
Agger review - ?
Summary/ Eval of your choice in Bedford - yellow
Problem/ Solution - salmon/ orange
Summary of a Database Article - goldenrod
Shared In-Class Assessment Essay - white or gray
Problem/ Solution with MLA Sources - cream

3. Use your papers in front of you to respond to this survey : https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/P5X28YL

It is NOT SHORT. Please take your time and give THOUGHTFUL answers. Only AFTER you are done, can you have the COUNT SHEET.

4. Count your finished pages. Treat partial pages as fractions. A works cited page only counts if it was MLA style. I must initial your results.

5. If you are taking the final, choose between the readings and read before class on Monday.

6. Fill out the Course Evaluation on The Hub page if you have not done so already.

7. Hand in the TWO Problem/ Solution papers AND the Database article summary ( I have to grade them all).

Homework:

1. If you had twenty-five pages, please drop by my office to pick up your graded papers next week. No class for you.

2. If you are taking the final, read ONE of the assigned readings and come to class on Monday.

Article Choices: 

"As Attitudes Shift on PTSD" by Mike Haynie pages 546-548 in Bedford.

"The Creation of Discontent" by Juliet Schor pages 611-613 in Bedford.

Use Turnitin to Prevent Plagiarism

Gradually upload your Problem/ Solution paper WITH citations to Turnitin.

We're looking at BOTH the matching AND any "Grademark" input.

The final, revised version is due tomorrow.

Today, you leave your daybooks with me.

Tomorrow you MUST bring all graded papers for the page count. 

Tomorrow I will give the reading choices for the final. You may take the final to help your grade if you have 25 pages. If you have fewer than 25 pages, you MUST take the final. The final is worth 6% of your grade.

Homework:

1. Make the final changes to your Problem/ Solution paper with MLA Citation. Be ready to hand in the final hard copy tomorrow, WITH the copy that was already graded.

2. If you need the weekend you may hand your paper in late, on Monday. It will cost you 5% AND you MUST take the final, regardless of your page count.
