Fri., Oct. 10
We went over the next week's assignment sheet.
We did not have a chance to correct the comma work that we did in the computer lab.
The instructor showed her comments on a few student essays that were posted at turnitin. The purpose was to discuss how to develop an essay from its first draft.
Wed., Oct. 8:
Go to this link and replace the commas.
Students worked on replacing the commas in the computer lab. The instructor worked with each student to help in understanding where commas should go. One phenomena became apparent: students are attempting to put commas in sentences without fully comprehending what the sentence means. The instructor asked students to read the sentence aloud and understand what it means. This seemed to help in many cases.
A few students are still not getting corrections from turnitin. One class member, reported her corrections are now coming in.
