Hello,
I realize some of you may not read this blog entry tonight, or maybe not even before class tomorrow, but eventually I assume all of you will.
Since we are watching a film tomorrow, I will not have the time to remind you of the following, thus this blog entry now.
I am working on evaluating the revisions of out of class essay 2 that were submitted yesterday.
Some of them are quite good and definitely earned more points.
However, the majority of them are really disappointing and frankly, very frustrating. I spent nearly 30 minutes on most of your essays the first time they were submitted. Now the revision is really up to you. I expect you to spend TIME and thought on a revision. This includes the FIRST STEP, which is to review all my comments and suggestions. It is not my job to edit EVERYTHING. How would you possibly improve your editing, proofreading, development and critical thinking skills if I did that?!
No other instructor in any of your other classes, this semester or any upcoming semesters, will give you the feedback that I provide you on your work.
Some of you will be receiving your revision back with no revision grade. I am not going to spend my time writing THE SAME THING on your revision that I noted the first time.
See you tomorrow!
