Supported Objectives:

  • CO1: Develop a clearly-written, well-researched, persuasive paper which demonstrates both critical reading and critical thinking skills.
  • CO2: Demonstrate an ability to evaluate and integrate academic sources into your research papers in a manner consistent with US academic culture and UW-Madison’s policy on academic integrity.

Upload your second (conference) draft here. Your file submission needs to include the following:

1. Your essay – filename: Instructor’sLastName.FirstInitial.IRPD2.SemesterYear.lastname.firstname.docx  Example: Dalby.T.IRPD2.F18.Kim.Dabin.docx

2. Paragraphs should be numbered in order to make discussion about the paper easier 

3. Write a self-evaluation note (on both the 2nd and final drafts) -- tell me something you liked about the paper and something you are less certain about.

 

4. Submit your sources in HERE – each file should be named accordingly: last name.pdf. They should be uploaded in a compressed file (i.e., .zip or .rar)

  • Be sure to include every source that you have referenced in your essay.
  • Every time you have a citation in your essay it should include a page or paragraph number (as appropriate). In addition, you must highlight every section in your source that has been used. Here’s an example using an old GRP topic:

The easier it is for me to find where you are getting your quotes/paraphrases from, the happier I am while marking. Hint. Hint.

Conferencing:

  • All conferences will be in the iSchool Library on the 4th floor of Helen C. White
  • I have scheduled 40 minutes for each conference, but it may not take this long. We will spend almost the whole time discussing your paper.
  • Before you come to the conference, you must read all of my comments on your 2nd draft. You do not have to grade your own paper, but it is very helpful if you attempt to make improvements to your draft before you see me. Be prepared to lead the conference and to ask good questions.
    • Good question: Should I include more analysis of X in my 2nd body paragraph?
    • Bad question: How do I improve my paper?
  • Don’t be late. Conferences replace class time, so if you are late, it will count. If you are more than ten minutes late, you will be marked absent. If you have a problem or need to reschedule, contact me as soon as possible.
