Okay Rudy - I'm sorry, but I can't figure out which blog is yours, lol. I'm just going to post this and hope that you check here - let me know if you get this. I would have posted it earlier but I fell asleep - sorry 'bout that.
So, the final is on Monday December 14th from 9:00 AM (yes, earlier than usual) to 10:50 AM (yes, later than usual.)It is an in-class essay. The prof will give us 4 or 5 topics to choose from to write about. Writing about a different topic is an F. Here is what Mrs Croker told us to do:
1. Don't procrastinate because that is usually the first thing people do when they get an assignment but there isn't time for it.
2. Brainstorm for about 10 minutes
3. Write a rough draft. It can be sloppy or messy or whatever.
4. Make it interesting and have good topic sentences.
5. Write a good conclusion. It is the last thing the professor reads so you want it to be good.
6. Make the writing detailed, have good transitions, well-developed paragraphs, etc.
7. Write a final draft.
8. Know your problems (for example, if you have trouble spelling, or writing fragmented sentences, or whatever) and go back over the essay looking for those mistakes.
9. Wait for a little while
10. Proofread
If you are done with all of your writing at 10:30, you have 20 minutes to proofread, so that is a good time frame to shoot for. You are allowed to bring a thesaurus and a dictionary but nothing else. There is no specific length but you should probably about 3 pages or so.
If you want a conference about your research paper, you can go in tomorrow (Wednesday the 9th) - otherwise, there is no class until the final.
Hope that helps -
- Sam
