This Weekend

Reminders
*Final Product of the ResearchProject will be due on Monday, May 9th by midnight. Early turn-ins are welcome if you would like to be free for finals week. If paper is turned in late, each day is -10 points from the final grade of the paper. However, if it is not turned in by Midnight on the 11th, it will receive an F - I need time to evaluate these papers to get a grade in.

*Presentation Sign-Ups were handed out today (if you were absent you will only be able to sign up for a spot that is free). Please check the page and add your name to a spot that you would like.

*Rewrites will be due on Monday in class. These will be handed back to you on Wednesday.

*Over the weekend, get a good start on a rough draft. Have your research done and your ideas out for you to work with. We will begin working with organization and main ideas/thesis on monday.

*By Wednesday, I will want to see that you have a rough draft completed and are working on revision. I will then check your name off and we can work on MLA documentation format and putting it all together.

Day # 6 (Days left)

Conferences went wonderfully! If you have missed your conference time, it will be dealt with in the same manner as a late paper - the conference will lose 10 points per day. Conferences were on the class wiki, on the door of my office and discussed ahead of time: there is no exception.

Any rewrites that I asked for on the Research Proposal are due after class today. Other rewrites will be due in class on Monday. No exceptions will be made - the end of the semester is coming fast and I need them before we begin working on the drafts of the Research Project.

Today we will be discussing the presentation and the sign up schedule.

Also, I have an example of what you can do with the wiki for the presentation under JoeSchmo's Wiki page. Feel free to "edit the document" and see how images and URL's were inserted.

I will also go over what I will expect from your final paper which is due on May 4th in class.
