What are you supposed to do this week?
First, turn in your revised workshop assignment here: Turn in
==The link to turn in your workshop assignments, in general, is in the assignment schedule, linked on the Course Schedule page of this course site. Check out the pages in the menu above.
Next, follow steps 1-5. They are ordered for your benefit. All work except homework for workshop is intended to be completed before the end of the week. Usually that deadline is Wednesday night, but this week it has been extended to Friday night. Step 6, the homework, is to be completed in time to share in your group’s workshop next week. This is the workflow that class will follow each week for the semester.
For the analysis assignment: please use the link corresponding to your group, below. The forms have been fixed and your analysis should go through.
- Read: “Critical Questions for Big Data” Introduction (pages 662-665 top)
Complete the analysis form for your group (due Wednesday by 11:59pm) –EXTENDED TO FRIDAY NIGHT DUE TO TECHNICAL PROBLEMS:

Complete assignment described at end of video in the comments section to this post.
I will post a second video with the assignment for you to complete NEXT WEEK.
4. Lesson 2.2: Reading rhetorically: between saying and doing
For workshop 2 assignment: Handout on argumentation. You will receive more instruction on argumentation in Week 3. For now, work from the handout and take notes on the questions that come up when you work this way.
Homework: Workshop 2 assignment
Notice: I’ve added the following section in the syllabus, thanks to a student’s very helpful question. Thanks!
Late work and extensions
I take two points off process writing for late work,I do not give comments for late workshop assignments, and I take major assignments down one grade if they are turned in late after the one-day grace period. It is ultimately more important to turn in the writing–especially the major assignments, without which one cannot pass the class–than it is to turn it in on time. I grant extensions on a case-by-case basis. Please be in touch with me as soon as possible if you are struggling to finish or turn in an assignment on time.
Turning in late work
Because I do not check the turn in folders for work submitted after Sunday grading, please use this link to turn in past-due work. This way I will know to give you credit!
Cut-off times for late work: All process writing leads to a major writing assignment . Once final drafts for that assignment are due, process writing for that unit will no longer be given credit. This policy is more than fair.

**UPDATE** I just saw that the major assignment descriptions that I have in my instructor’s syllabus were not in the student copy. I have added it to the syllabus document. See the table of contents to find it easily in the doc. It’s also now a page here on the site for your reference.
