For those who missed the opinion poll, here are the four questions. 1. What's going right in the class? 2. What's going wrong in the class? 3. Specific suggestions - desired writing workshops. 4. General suggestions. The idea was for it to be anonymous, so have one of your roommates email it or something.
For those who missed the Honey Nut Cheerios, TOO BAD.
Invitation: If you have concerns about your individual grade and/or writing development that go past what I discussed in the previous blog post, please feel free to visit me in my office anytime on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday afternoon.
Reminders: Big day on tap for Wednesday. I hope to start with a philosophical discussion of the function (dysfunction?) of grading practices in college writing courses. We will then try to squeeze in SAW 34-40 and AAW 21-30. Everyone needs to finish season four (please note that 4.13 is about 80 minutes long). And everyone needs to read the Alff article
Dance Majors:
ReplyDeleteFor our major we write a lot of performance reviews. The rules of writing about performances are you must be very descriptive. Your review should touch on all aspects of the performance: movement, lighting, costumes, spacing etc... Having a critical eye is another imperative part of dance writing.

Caroline is a computer game design major and she incorporates writing by pitching her idea in a very creative way. Her ideas have to stand out from the norm and captivate her audience. She has to use a lot of detail to explain and express her ideas, visions and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteNina is a psychology major and she incorporates her writing by carefully analyzing different medical cases and briefs. She has to apply the knowledge she knows about psychology into her papers. She focuses on key concepts and makes sub arguments in her works explaining whether or not she agrees or disagree with the case.

As a History major you are required to look into the past, as you look into the past you have to write in the context of the giving time period. When given historical events history majors are made to look at details and compare or contrast different events in the given time period.
