RE4v2

The Student Handbook provides complete guidance on how to revise writing assignments. Details on where to turn in all writing assignments

are also provided in the Student Handbook. Before you turn in your essay, be sure to review the writing assignment submission checklist in the Handbook!

 

To receive a high grade on RE4v2, you must go beyond surface-level editing of your first version. Incorporating feedback from both your TA and peer

in a mindful manner is critical. We will be specifically examing how well you go deeper into higher order issues like restructuring, adding/deleting content. 

Please see this resource on the distinction between revising and editing: https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Professional_and_Technical_Writing/Basics/Revising

 

RE4v2 is due Thursday, April 12 at 1pm electronically and 2pm in class.

Don't forget to staple the graded RE4v1, the TA grading rubric, and the peer grading rubric to the back.

 

In addition to RE4v2, you will submit a writer’s memo explaining how you took up the responses from your peers and TA. Please respond to the following:

• Which suggestions/critiques from your peer and/or TA did you incorporate? How and why?
• Which suggestions/critiques from your peer and/or TA did you not incorporate? Why?

Writer's memo format:

• Title the memo: "RE4v2 - Memo".
• The writer's memo will be on a separate page. Write your name in the same format as specified for the essay.
• The memo must not exceed 0.5 pages in length.
• This will allow the TAs, and yourselves, to better understand why certain feedback was incorporated and why other suggestions may not have been. Self-reflection on feedback is a useful tool in professional technical writing to justify your though process to the reviewers.
