Tuesday's class revolved, or at least was supposed to revolve before internet service failed, around the summary assessment, i.e. the perfect summary that incorporates the seven qualities of summation and provides strong mechanics.
1. Head to Inside Higher Ed, a compilation of articles, blogs, and information regarding collegiate issues : https://www.insidehighered.com/
2. Select an article from the website that you would like to read and use for your summary assessment. The article should be at least 5 paragraphs. Each student will need a different essay.If you were absent, you will need to select an essay that has not been utilized by another student.
These are the essays already selected that absent students will not be able to select:
These are the essays already selected that absent students will not be able to select:
- Poverty & Merit
- Historians as Futurists
- A Sense of Duty: Campus Safety & Veteran Students
- Do Students with Guns Save Lives?
- Bias Against Female Instructors
- Debate Over Debt
- Graded on Looks
- The Adjunct: Solution
- Putting Foreign Student Firsts
3. Write the perfect summary -- either as a Google document to share or a typed/handwritten hard copy. This is due by 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday. Absent students have an additional 24 hours -- Thursday at 10:45 a.m. to sign up for the essay and turn in by this deadline.
To end class was the vocab quiz covering the first 10 words. If absent, you will need to make an appointment before or after school to make up the quiz. We also copied down the next 11 words, which we will start on Wednesday.
