April 1 Deadline is Coming

Just to make the goals public for you I am listing them below. Please respond to this blog and simply state which numbers you need to work on. Please have the first draft in by next Wednesday.

I am very happy to see the progress we are making so far. Keep up the great work.

So, as we have discussed last night, you can be working on the following:

1) Printing off and reading articles (you should have at minimum 10 now)
2) Should have a cover page and table of contents
3) Including 5 articles into your paper as of now (reference and referring to)
4) PPT should be an appendix
5) A webspiration mind-map should be there
6) A sketch should be there with components and materials listed
7) A materials section should be there
8) You should have been making contributions on the blog
9) You should be well over 500 words now (put word total on cover page)
10) Hand this to me by April 1 as a preliminary draft

You can use the following to grade it:

Name: ___________________________________
Class: _______________
Date: _______________

1) ___/10 articles = ____/10
2) Cover page with word total (5) and contents (5) = _____/10
3) 5 articles (2 pts each) = ____/10
4) PPT in appendix exported to word. Yes/No = 0 or 10 / 10
5) Webspiration mind-map. Yes/No = 0 or 10 / 10
6) Sketch included somewhere in paper. Yes/No = 0 or 10 / 10
7) Materials section. 3 pts for title/6 pts for some elaboration/ 10 for a thorough
preliminary job = 0 or 3 or 6 or 10 / 10
8) Have you made contributions to the blog? Yes/No = 0 or 10 / 10
9) 0 words = 0. 100-300 words = 6. 300-500 = 8. 500+ = 10/10. _____/10
10) Handed in on time. Yes/No = 0 or 10 / 10

Total = ______/ 100

Keep this in your research log when finished

    SECTION B

    This is the second semester for research and report writing. You just graded the first draft of your paper for semester two. How do you feel about the grade you gave yourself? What areas should you improve for the second and third drafts?



    How do you feel about the quality of the paper you have just handed in?
    It’s not professional, but it cover what needed.


    How do you feel about the quality of learning and understanding you have been developing about your technology of choice? I understood a lot.



    How does this help you link English to Engineering? Engineers are required to do researches, so I have to start learning how to do it.


    What do you still wonder, or want to find out about your research topic?
    The future improvement.
