Today’s Plan:
- Sharing Google Drive
- Updating Me on Work Progress
- Reminder About File Names
- One Quick Hit: The Period Trick
- Bibliographic Analysis Refresher
- Bibliographic Analysis Drawing
- Homework
Sharing Google Drive
You need to do one of two things: first, you can get a “Share” link set to anyone with the link can edit OR second, you can share this with my other email account: insignificantwrangler@gmail.com
Here is a link to the Team Formation Document.
Updating Me on Work Progress
I’m in the process of reading and commenting on your work. It took me an hour today to get through 5 people, and there’s 26 of you, so please be patient!
As I was grading today, a few people didn’t have a working link. Others hadn’t completed the Bibliographic Analysis. No worries.
To find your work, I have been going to the Team Document and searching for your name. If you update something and want me to see a change, simply submit the link to your Google Doc to Canvas. As above, make sure the link is set to “anyone with the link can edit.” Canvas will notify me that there has been a change.
Reminder About File Names
Hi, I’m a professor. I have many students. When I collect work, I often download it in a .zip folder and grade it on my machine. It is REALLY ANNOYING when I open the .zip folder and see 26 files called “English Summary” or even worse “My English Summary” or “Final Paper.” Ugh. Here’s my method for naming files:
myname-nameofthing-semesteryear
So, for instance:
santos-articleanalysis-s2018
Or maybe:
santos-worknet-s2018
This is a public service announcement for all the faculty to whom you submit work.
One Quick Hit: Period Trick
The training for police officers start with simple tasks that are learned within a classroom and moves to the hands on experience the farther they become with their training. There are differences when it comes to just learning about things in the classroom and then actually being able to perform then when needed too. The authors recommend training the new police as if they do not know anything and start learning everything from scratch.
Bibliographic Analysis Refresher
Let’s go over the bibliographic analysis:
- Identify 3 entries from your research article’s bibliography that are worth tracking down
- Link to three of these articles using Summon (make sure we can have copies)
- Read the abstract and skim the intro/conclusion of each article, generating a paragraph summary of each piece (main claim, method for gathering research, quick one sentence summary of findings, quick one sentence summary of expectations)
- For each of these articles, identify three entries from the bibliography potentially worth tracking down
I’ve added to my example document some idea of what this will look like. PS. I know this is a lot of work for one night’s homework–but I’ll make it up to you around midterms and finals.
Bibliographic Analysis Drawing
Today I would like you to get together with your writing group and put together a drawing of your collective bibliographic work (similar to the one that Mueller put together in his article). I’m not looking for anything too fancy or elaborate–just a simple box and line drawing using Google Draw.
Put the Scientific American article in the center box. From there, draw lines to your worknet articles. From there, draw lines to the articles you identified for your bibliographic analysis. One last step: look through the bibliography to every article on your drawing to see if there are any other connections (this might require moving boxes around so the lines don’t get too messy). Try to identify articles that your articles have in common.
Once you have finished the drawing (or when there’s only a few minutes left in class), put a link to the drawing into Canvas.
Homework
Read one article from your team’s bibliographic analysis and write a two paragraph annotation. The first paragraph should focus on summary, performing the expectations for the bibliographic analysis above. The second paragraph should focus on connecting the article to anything else you have read so far–do a bit of thinking via compare and contrast work.
