Unit 3 Help for Project and week

By now there are a few things you should realize I expect in your assignments:

1. References and citations

2. Your file named with your name in it

3. Follow all of the directions of the assignment

4. 500 words approximately

5. Try to do APA- we have a guide on the home page

I also want references in the discussions. When you do this weeks project there are 2 parts, the carrot and the pizza. Give equal responses. Do not do a one liner on the pizza and please look at the chapter as you write this.

In order to help you follow directions:

a. Read the assignment directions

b. take notes and highlight page numbers, questions you need to answer

c. write an outline first

d. Then put into the correct essay format

The key is doing all of these steps.

If you are confused, write me.

Track Changes in Word- How I comment when I grade

Every paper you submit will have comments on it. These comments are done using the “Track Changes”

1. To turn it on: View Changes and Make Changes

To view changes do the following:

• Open Word


• Go to "Tools" and then click on "Track Changes" (to make sure the feature is turned on)


• Make sure to have all of the following checked under "Show": (on the Reviewing Toolbar)

1. Comments


2. Insertions


3. Deletions


4. Formatting

2. Then you will be able to see all tracked changes.

3. Your comments will be visible as well as your grade.

Other comments and where they are

Make sure that you review any comments I make in the Dropbox return. If you have a 0 you may have left out material that I need to have included. Read the comments in the Grade area and you will see once you click on the grade, the comments I have made. This will also have other comments too.

How to post a GOOD Discussion Post

1. Read the question you are responding to.

• a. Make sure you are answering all PARTS of the question

2. Do not use lower case i for I; spell correctly, no IM shortcuts. This is a post that is educational and shows that you are using academic, college level writing skills.

3. Advancing the discussion, like in a class they need to post something that allows other students to add to the discussion.

4. Use the following questions and guide to help you develop a post

• Expand on the other post
• Ask for more information
• Act as devils advocate
• No less than 50 words- guideline not to count each word
• Add websites
• Asking questions for critical thinking
• Add spice to discussion board- correctly- just as a devils advocate
• Move the topic along
• Not moving the discussion forward rather than time factor

5. Use the following questions to help you think of a new response to a peer.

• Is your message factually accurate?
• Is your message original? If you copy or paraphrase another source, you must cite it.
• Is your message relevant to the issue being discussed?
• Have you taught us anything new? [This is very important!]
• Does your message engage others to want to participate in additional discussion?
• Is your message written in academically appropriate fashion? [With no "chat" lingo, no spelling errors, no grammatical errors.]

Hope this helps during the term. Come back and read it to ensure you are doing the best you can!!!

Fondly,

Dr. Kathy
