Evaluation Sheets

Hello 301;

Most of you have received a copy of the Evaluation Sheet for our course; but some of you have registered late, so I am posting a copy of the Evaluation sheet to answer any questions you may have about how grades are managed.

Welcome to our course of studies together. As you can see from our class schedule this is an intensive writing course that requires consistent and timely participation, so please do study the requirements and due dates and ensure you schedule yourself accordingly.

There are two important elements of this course that are perhaps a bit unusual:

1. The opportunities to edit and rewrite your work before evaluation;
   1. After each peer review you are expected to return to the original document and revise your work accordingly
   2. Only your peer reviews and emails are evaluated as presented in the original documents – *all other writing assignments can be edited and re-edited as your skills improve before final evaluation. These assignments will be presented in your Web Folio under best works at the end of the semester.
   3. At the end of Semester, you will present a Web Folio and at that time your work will be re-evaluated for 20% of the grade.

*Please note: assignment 1:2, your letter of application, will be evaluated to give you an idea of where your writing skills are now.

2. The peer review process;
   1. Timeliness is essential. Because we are using a peer-review process, if you post your assignment late, then your peer will likewise be late. If you are not going to make the required post: ALERT your writing team so they can make other arrangements.
   2. The purpose is to work in a professional environment together in which timeliness is an essential skill.

Please study the evaluation sheet below for point distribution. You will receive evaluation sheets regularly throughout the term. You are expected to continually self- edit your work; first, review the Instructor’s blog for self-editing tips, study the peer review you receive.

PLEASE note; it is your peer reviews that are graded – not your practice assignment drafts. At the end of the semester, you will include examples of your edited work in your Web Folio, and at that time, you will receive points for those assignments.

Please scroll down to see comments on each Lesson. Thank you.

• PLEASE NOTE: late assignments will lose 0.5 points per day
