In order to gain reaction points, students will need to read all materials before class, attend class on the scheduled day, participate in class activities, and submit in-class work in Blackboard. Students who miss class will have the opportunity to turn in a reaction paper (1-2 pages) for half credit.
Should a scheduling change occur with a date on my or the university’s end, the alternative will be for everyone to write a reaction paper for that assignment. If you miss class, or the class has been canceled, and you need to complete the reaction paper, please review the instructions below.
Based on the article in this unit, you will write a reaction paper. Since we will be talking a lot about articles now in classes, reaction papers give you a chance to think about the assigned reading and form your own unique thoughts and opinions. Some ideas/prompts to get you started:
- What was this reading about?
- How did it resonate with you?
- Do you agree or disagree with the information mentioned here? Both? Why?
- How do you think this topic will be particularly impactful in the realm of technical writing?
- Is there anything from this/these link(s) that could be valuable to you in your career?
- This should be 1-2 pages double spaced. Font size 12 pt. Double spaced. Students who fail to meet the minimum page requirement will start their grade at half credit.
