Remember to bring three copies of your work tomorrow for our workshop. Also, there was some confusion as to how many of the questions on the handout you're supposed to answer for your Reflective Essay. It's four or more. You're also welcome to comment on anything else you may be thinking of or want me to take into account as I'm reading/watching your project.

Workshop Questions

During our peer review workshop, please address the following questions for each project you evaluate:


1. What is the thesis?

2. Is the thesis proved/argued/explored (depending on the purpose of the project) during the course of the paper?

3. Are the sources introduced and properly cited?

4. Are there any parts of the project that you found confusing?

5. What was done particularly well in this project?

6. How could the project be improved?



Remember that while your project is being discussed you will be silent and listen to your classmates, taking notes of what they’re saying. At the end of the discussion you can ask them questions. Don’t try to defend yourself, just listen and later decide wether the criticism was valid or not. Please take notes of everything or you’ll find that you often won’t remember what was said and will miss out on some very good ideas for improving your project.
