Peer Response workshop
Putting Images in Your Paper
Revising for the "Revised Draft" and "Final Draft"
You made it! This is the final week (at least before final exams), and I am proud of you for keeping up and getting your work done during this difficult time.
Some of you have asked about putting images in your final draft for Paper 2. Yes, you should make a figure for each part of the comic you cite in your paper, and you must have at least THREE figures. You probably remember how to do this from Paper 1, but in case you need a refresher, you can read the instructions here. Improperly formatted figures and citations in this paper will earn you a "Falls Short"--so make sure you do it right!
Please do not put images in your paper until you are done with the Peer Response workshop. Try your best to make sure each student in your gets a set of comments. Do not just communicate with one other student. Communicate with your whole GROUP. If you still do not have a paper to share, then you should let the other members of your group know so that they can divide the completed papers among themselves.
The final draft is due at the end of the week, but if you need an extension, please just let me know. Don't forget--the revision requirements for the final are the same as for the revised, so if you have not finished your "Revised Draft," you cannot expect your revisions to count for the "Final Draft." If you did not finish the "Revised Draft" revisions on time, you will need to finish it and let me know where those revisions stop before you start revising for the "Final Draft."
If you do finish your "Final Draft" early and legitimately, I will go ahead and look at your paper. Just let me know that it's ready. If I give you a completion grade for the "Revised Draft" and the "Final Draft" and you don't have any other "Incomplete" grades left, I will let you start on the Final Self-Assessment essay (to be announced). I have not made the Final Self-Assessment instructions available yet. But if you are ready to start it early, I will post them early. Otherwise, I will post them on Friday, the last day of class.
If, at the end of the semester, you have an "incomplete" grade, please understand that you cannot get an "A" in the course. If you have two "incomplete" grades, you cannot make a "B." If you have more than two, you cannot make a "C." So get those assignments finished and notify me to look at them again! It's better to have a "Falls Short" and "Late" than an "incomplete"!
Finally, please reach out if you are having trouble finishing the course!
