Research Paper Presentation (questions)

This course takes a learner-centered process approach to writing. Peer response and revision is as important as the final product. The self-reflection task also addresses the dual audience of self and other.

The blog illuminates a writer's journey for the reader. You should manage and present various tasks and drafts in a clear way.

The textbook includes much information to train reader-judges. At this final stage of the course, please Review the main ideas that we cover in classes and look at the last chapter for editing skills, which would help you and your peers find major errors in logic and grammar.

To facilitate research paper presentation and sharing, please post your draft on blogs. Peer response should focus on the following questions.

1. Paper outlines with the title and 1-3 keywords (e.g., euthanasia, gay and lesbian marriage, animal rights, etc).

Do the title and keywords forecast a convincing thesis or an attitude toward the subject?

2. Topics/themes in four annotations and their intended audiences (e.g., general, academic, customers, peers and friends, other).
Do the library and Web sources provide sound reasons and proper evidence?
Do you use shared contextual knowledge (e.g.,experiences, emotions, cultures) to support your argument and opinions?

3. Main points in each source that support your own argument/opinions.
Do you organize the relations in discourses with a smoth connection and transition between sentences?
Do you quote some words, phrases, or sentences directly from the original texts or paraphrase them?

4. Revisions that you have made compared to annotations.
