Class #19 Review and Reminders

In the next class, we will move on to Austen and try to build a conceptual bridge over from Descartes.

So these are the things you need to do between now and then:

-Exchange your paper, in its most recent form, with your peer reviewer by Monday 8 p.m. Be sure to include three specific questions that you want them to use to guide their reading of the paper. And then re-exchange the papers back when you get the comments. Use the EEE dropbox: Working Draft 2, Shared Student Files.
-Peer review pairs: Christine/Jeffrey, Kate/Wes, Alec/Rosemary, Kiyomi/Florence, Jessica/Jie, Ariana/Monique, Ivan/Roselaine, Shae/Hannah/Mari (divide it up somehow), Leah/Stephanie
-Final draft #2 due to turnitin.com with acknowledgements & reflections, Tuesday 9 p.m.
-Finish all unfinished Descartes blog homework (last chance)
-Read Chapters 1-4 of Austen's Persuasion.

Special bonus editing & peer-reviewing tip... change the zoom level on your document depending on what kind of editing you're doing. If you're editing at the sentence level (grammar, etc.), zoom to 200%. If you're editing at the paragraph level, use a regular 100% or 125% zoom. If you're looking at the paper "globally," i.e. at its overall argument and organization, zoom to 75% or smaller. I find that this substantially changes the way that I think as I read something, and I use it when editing students papers.
