Announcements
New items in the “Bodily Autonomy” and “Spatial Sovereignty” sections of Reading/Watching/Listening.
Midterm grades should be up by Friday.
Not getting the grade you want? Don’t leave points on the table!…
- A few students have several unexcused absences, which impacts grades significantly. For more information, please refer to the “Attendance” policy of the syllabus.
- Don’t forget to share news items and participate during class.
- Be sure to go through the relevant grade sheet before submitting your article.
- Most students did a fine job with most “Cultural Competence” items except hyperbole. (Congrats, this is no easy thing!) However, a few “Research Competence” items were frequently overlooked. Many of these items are very simple to address. We will discuss during forthcoming live-edit sessions.
Agenda. Note the revised time allocations:
- News (15)
- Timed Exercise (25). Only 1 question today.
- Discussion (30)
- Midterm notes: Live-edit (35-40)
- Writing and Stylistics Guides (NYU)

Assignments
- Last chance: please fill out this form to grant or deny permission for your midterm to be respectfully live-edited during an upcoming class.
- Read/listen/watch, take notes, and be ready for in-class timed exercises & discussions on:
- The rest of Dawn.
- Please spend a few minutes browsing the D&T page on ethical data collection and unethical histories. In the United States, the 1978 Belmont Report (HHS.gov) is basis of institutional review boards (IRBs), the mechanism used to approve experimental research funded by the government and government-funded institutions.
- Watch these HHS.gov videos that explain the background and concepts of the Belmont Report. While they’re both outdated, interestingly, they were first released just a year before Dawn!
- Add relevant a news item to D&T News Items 2023.
