We did a reading exercise using an essay from the text. Students were asked to read several pages of the assigned essay, and write what the most important point of each paragraph was. We then compared notes in class.
After reading a part of the essay, the instructor explained the upcoming assignment, which will be due at turnitin on Thurs., April 9. We will read rough drafts on Fri., April 10. Students will then take the feedback, revise, and turn in their final essay on Sun., April 12.
The instructor distributed the self-analysis worksheets, which have to do with focus. Students should do primary research on themselves, which consists of tracking interruptions during four one-hour study sessions.
On Wednesday, the instructor will distribute the written assignment sheet for the essay and the writershelp assignment sheets. In addition, there will be an additional essay to read, "Multitasking..."
On Wednesday, students are to bring in their one-sentence-per-paragraph notes. Students will be given credit for having the assignment read.
