Peer Critiques and Revision

2/23/2018

 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
  1. SPAM 3:  This is due on Wednesday, 2/28, by 3:30.   Get these meetings scheduled NOW!  The more time you give your SPA, the better your feedback will be.  If you haven't shared your thesis yet, you better do it soon!
  2. Timeline Note:  Next week is the LAST WEEK to work on and revise your senior thesis!  I will be running writing workshops or critiques on things every day next week.  Starting now, you should plan on spending SUBSTANTIAL time outside of class (like, this weekend) revising and polishing your work.  My class is to teach you HOW to revise and polish, but you will not receive sufficient time in class to complete this.

Peer Critique Format
Complete scheduled peer critiques for you group.  

NOTE:  Writing comments is NOT sufficient for this!  Make sure that your group meets and runs the protocol for every paper!

Thesis Revision
Stuck?  Go back and revise for the following:
  1. Add evidence, do additional research as needed
  2. Re-organize to improve logical flow and argumentation
  3. If you're brain dead, do something simple and rote like MLA formatting
  4. Write your abstract
  5. Complete your MLA Works Cited (remember to alphabetize and format with indents correctly!)
  6. Check all of your MLA in-text citations for punctuation and formatting
  7. Revise all your transitions to make them more fluid and connective
  8. Check to make sure that all of your sections and sub-sections are clearly connected back to your thesis and research question
  9. Check to make sure that each quote is set up correctly, and has at least one follow-up sentence explaining the quote
  10. Read your paper OUT LOUD to catch proofreading errors...then fix them!

HOMEWORK:  Duh, revise your thesis.  :)
