Observations from the grading of quiz 7:
-
The minimum length of one page per presentation
is very important
-
I've added some amplification to the instructions
regarding format.
-
Divide out the three sections of your critique
into clearly defined sections with left margin headings.
-
Be specific on the evaluation.
-
Name specific items and amplify.
-
Generalizations such as "I liked his paper" won't
fly. They just cause red ink to flow on your quiz paper.
-
A grade report will go out tomorrow.
