Looking back on a memorable learning experience, I can say that my skills as a writer have improved in Professor smith 099 class. Although it wasn't a walk in the park, Through out the blog series I realiez Pf but at the same time a challenge to fully write out essays within a timely fashion. But know that when I exercise the skills that are lagging, my ability to perform the skills will improve. that this certinly has been quite the learning expericen for me. -

you suck
ReplyDeleteYou don't suck, but you do need to write more and post on time!
ReplyDeleteBelow you will find my response for this blog series. This is not a grade, nor is it intended to be read as an evaluation of your performance in this class so far. The evaluation of the blog series may be found in Blackboard in the gradebook for this class and the grade is derived from a totally different method as described in the syllabus. What you will see below is a response to your overall writing as of this blog series. The categories are from the CAT-W evaluation rubric (what the evaluator’s use). The comments below are intended to be both descriptive (what I see) and prescriptive (what you need to work on). I will be speaking with you personally about your current strengths and weakness during class. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like about the following in class, during office hours, or in our FB groups.
Critical Response to Writing Task and Text: For this category, I look to see if you summarized effectively thereby demonstrating that you understood the reading/text, that you are actively engaging with the ideas of the text and responding in some way to them. For this category, you are fine but could still use some improvement.
Development of Writer’s Ideas: This category responds to how well you use reasons to support your claim, how well you use evidence to support your reasons, and how well the reasons work together as a whole. For this category you need more work, particularly in your use of detail?
Structure of the Response: Is it an argument essay? Does it work well as a whole? This category is concerned with the overall structure of your writing--can I see that you had a plan and executed it well.
Sentences, Word Choice, Grammar, Usage, Mechanics: Is your writing clear and easy to read? That is what this category is all about. What issues need to be addressed now to improve the overall effect of your writing?
Overall: I think you are sweating the details too much and too early. You need to crank out ideas quickly and get the words/ideas on the page. Also, you really need to be hitting the deadlines as that is 90% of writing.
