Work You Will Do

We will not meet in the classroom, but you will put in at least 50 minutes of work on your project by 5 PM on Saturday. Effort counts on Project 3, so you want to demonstrate that you used your time wisely.

To report what you did, go to “Tests & Quizzes” in Scholar and complete Friday’s assignment, “04/04 Proof of Work” by 5 PM on Saturday, 4/5/2014. We discussed some ways to show your work, like those listed below:

• If you’re composing a traditional cover letter and/or resume, you can give me a Share link to your Google Doc. I can use the File -> See revision history command to see what you worked on.
• If you’re working on a site like LinkedIn, you might take a screenshot of your page before you begin working and give me the link to your LinkedIn so I can see the current version (after your work).
• If you’re working on a site liked LinkedIn, you could also print a PDF version of your page before you begin working and then give me the current link. (To print a PDF, go the the pages and use the File -> Print command, and then change the printer to PDF. You can upload the PDF to your Google Drive.)

I will also ask you to summarize what you did so that I can see all the hard work you have put in.

Finding Me Friday

I will be in (or near) my office from 9:05 to noon and from 1:25 to 3:15. If you want to ask me questions, you can come by Shanks 214, send me an email during those hours, or use the online office chatroom. I will respond as soon as possible to any questions on Friday.

Homework

• We’ll do in-class peer review on Monday, so be ready with your current draft to share with your group.
• Spend some time before class on Monday thinking about the questions that you want your group to think about as they read and comment on your draft. Aim to have 3 or 4 specific questions. A good question would be “Do the verbs I used to describe my work experience seem strong enough? Would you change any of them?” A weak question would be something like “Does this look good?” or “Can you just tell me what you think?” I will ask you to tell me your questions as part of Monday’s in-class writing
• Looking ahead, on Wednesday, I will share some ideas based on what I see in your peer review and answer any questions. The project is due on Friday, so we’ll work on the reflection memo in class that day.
