Case Study Revision Assignment
Due Date
Saturday, June 10, by noon via E-Submit
Assignment
The revision assignment offers you the opportunity to
rewrite one of your short essays for a new grade. The revision
assignment involves
the following components:
- Conference: Before undertaking your revision,
you must meet with me to discuss my comments on your essay and your
plans for revision.
- Substantial Revision: Correcting spelling
or rewriting selected sentences does not constitute substantial
alteration. Rather, your
revision should offer a reworking of the thesis, organizational
structure, development, or evidence. Select an essay whose
grade you want to
improve by at least ten points. Such essays provide opportunities
for significant revision.
- Revision Memo: Along with your essay, you
must submit a memo that identifies the changes you’ve made and explains how those changes
have resulted in a stronger essay. Before writing the memo, examine
the grading criteria for the assignment you’ve revised.
How have your changes effectively met the criteria?
Please note that I will not grade assignments that do not include
the outlined components. Grading
Grades
for the case study will be calculated on a 40-point scale, according
to the criteria distributed with the original case study. Because
the assignment is optional, I will not accept late revisions.
Since I am allowing you to submit your revision the last day
of finals week, I can only give you a new grade
without substantial comments.
