Description
Please read this before you start working this week: There's a new activity on our schedule!
1. Introduction video
Hi all!Welcome to Week 3. Here's a 3-ish minute video with information about our week.
2. Uploading with Google Docs
Here's a quick video about how to upload your paper to assignments (though not peer review, since it's different!) using Google Docs. If you just want to know how to download and re-upload from Docs, that starts at 1:30.
3. A note on citation
Our class instruction will focus mostly on MLA Citation Style. However, you may find other types of citation more useful, or you may have experience in other styles. That's fine! You are free to use APA, Chicago, or Turabian if you've been taught those styles or worked in them before.
The assignment this week for review of citation focuses on MLA, but it has the other citation styles available. Please choose the video that's appropriate for you.
If you'll be citing your sources in APA (or Chicago), you may do that in the Collaborative Works Cited Wiki, but please mark your entries so that no one else tries to correct them. For example:
[APA] Pariser, E. (2011). Beware of filter bubbles. (etc. etc).
If you're not sure what citation style to use, MLA is the probably the easiest and most obvious. However, it may make more sense for you to explore another style, depending on your field of study. Here's a flowchart that explains a bit more:
4. To do this week
- Read the 3 assigned sections in Citation Review.
- Note: If you know you'll be using a different citation style for your major (like APA or Chicago), you are welcome to use that here, too. Just substitute the relevant section instead of MLA in this week's reading.
- Contribute three resources to the Collaborative Works Cited page and correct any errors you see.
- BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Post your draft of Essay 1 to the Peer Review workshop.
- You cannot post late to this assignment; it will automatically close for submissions at 11:55 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday night, and you will not receive credit for posting after that. If you run into a technical difficulty, get in touch with me; otherwise, make sure you have something submitted by that time.
- You can (and should!) post to the Extra Credit forum, but it will not make up for missing the initial peer review post.
- Return to the peer review forum on Thursday or after to review your three assigned papers.
- Post to the R/R #3 forum and respond to your classmates.
