Assignment: 3000-word Midterm Checkpoint on 10/21
- I left a comment in your paper if it’s under 3000 words.
- By Thursday, you should have written about 3000 original words, meaning that your total word count will be around 3300-3600. (This is because there were about 300 words in the original template. I’ve also been seeing citations averaging at about 150 words.)
- Please see the syllabus for the grading rubric, which is based on word count and participation.
- I will start reading for content on 10/21 and leaving comments in the coming days. I expect to give you all As for your midterm!
- I won’t be grading for content, but I’ll leave comments using this spreadsheet as a guide, based on the Checklist linked from Project Resources.
