Class Activities
- Invitation to post at Rate My Professor

- Preview of Portfolio Readiness
- We’ll spend time together on this
- You’ve already started to build your Portfolio
- Don’t worry.
- You can still revise everything.
Give Every Portfolio item a Title
Review Citations
- Review your In-text citations for compliance.
- They need Author or Title or Publication (or any combination), Said language, and a Quotation, Paraphrase, or Summary.
- NO PARENTHETICAL AUTHOR NOTATIONS.
This is INCORRECT:
NO PARENTHETICAL AUTHOR NOTATIONS.
This is CORRECT:
Separate posts for Short Arguments
First the Initial Post
Then a New Post for Revisions
(Shows Responsiveness to Feedback)
Check Bibliography for Compliance
Link to the Annotated Bibliography Assignment
Entries need APA Bibliographic notations, Links to the Sources, and thorough descriptions of Background Material and How I Used it.
Check Reflective Statement for Compliance
Link to the Reflective Statement Assignment
—Entries must include specific descriptions of changes you made to your work in response to feedback or detailed descriptions of how you met course objectives.
—Make references and links to the posts that best demonstrate your accomplishment of the Core Values.

- If you’re already engaged in feedback on an assignment, you can request additional feedback by making substantial revisions to your post, asking specific questions in a Reply, and placing your post in Feedback Please.
Grade Please Protocol
- If you’re posting an assignment for the first time, drop a Reply to alert your beloved professor to its existence. Ask for a Grade. Put the post in the Grade Please category.
- If you’ve never received a grade on an assignment, likely you professor has not noticed it. Drop a Reply to alert your beloved professor to its existence. Ask for a Grade. Put the post in the Grade Please category.

Counterintuitive Fall 2024 
The Missing Dollar Paradox
The missing dollar in this paradox doesn’t exist because the phrase that was given “Now, each of the ladies paid $9” is what throws people off course because it was a instructed. It manipulates readers to believe what it is true.
Portfolio Readiness
Just simple touch up. Each blog should have the same title and the same bookmark with the authors penname, and the authors portfolio.
Articles in “quotes” while publications in italics
What goes in the portfolio?
1.) Definition or Causal or Rebuttal Argument (only choose 1)
2.) Definition or Causal or Rebuttal Rewrite (only choose 1)
3.) Annotated Bibliography
4.) Research Paper
5.) Reflective Rewrite
6.)Visual Rewrite
7.) Definition or Causal or Rebuttal Argument (only choose 1)
8.) Definition or Causal or Rebuttal Rewrite(only choose 1)
Annotated Bibliography
If you read your sources and haven’t used them in your research paper, you can still use them as your sources for your annotated bibliography, if you use some information from that source.
Alphabetical is recommended.
Cool. 3/3

1 more class left after this one 😦 It’s time to get everything together and perfected as much as we can. Even though nothing can be perfect, we can do our best to revise, add, etc. to make our writings look better.
Riddle: Missing Dollar Paradox
-There is no missing dollar; each paid $10 on a bill. With the way this is written “Now, each of the ladies paid $9,” it allows the author to pull this riddle off.
-If we could do that in our writing, it would be amazing.
Class Activities:
-If we want to, we can make a post on Rate My Professor.
-Portfolio Readiness: we have already began to build this since the beginning of this class. Just a reminder that this includes 8 items in total.
-We can still revise everything, even if we put it into our portfolio. Make sure to give each portfolio item a title.
Review Citations:
-Make sure we include the author or title or publication when citing a source. Don’t include parenthetical author notations.
Bibliography:
-Make sure we include a good background summary of the article as well as how we used the source or how we didn’t use it.
-If we read a source, we should cite them in the bibliography. It doesn’t matter if we used it in our writing or not, still include it.
-Take the URL out of the writing and instead insert it on a word, so that when you press on the word, it takes us to the source.
Reflective statement is due December 9th, make sure we read the assignment clearly and add what it asks us.
Feedback Protocol:
-We can not get feedback if we posted an argument for the first time or we posted the writing weeks ago, but never requested it.
-The only way we can get feedback right now is if we are in an on going feedback chain. Also, if we make substantial revisions to our post, we can ask, but we must ask specific questions in a reply.
Grade Please Protocol:
-Make a reply on our post if we want to receive a grade or we made lots of improvement to our writing or if we are posting an assignment for the first time. With this reply of asking for a grade or regrade, we should add our writing to the Grade Please Category.
You write as if you were in the room! 🙂

–Rate My Professor review-reading was hillarious.I love the self-irony and boldness in doing it!

-Should review In-text citations for compliance
-Check my Portfolio and choose strongest arguments
-Do not bother numbering references in annotated bibliography
-Cut and paste the reflective statement structure
Thank you for appreciating the humor of checking my Rate My Professor ratings. 🙂

Well . . . we use the title of an article IF it’s an article (and the title of a book if it’s a book), and we punctuate them differently.

We begin class with a fun riddle, which is also a mind-bending math problem. It tells the story of three women going out to dinner and putting 10$ does each for a 30$ dinner.However, when they get their change back each lady gets a a dollar back, meaning they now paid 9$ each multiplied by 3 is 27 and it notes that the waiter took one dollar and it says that the waiter has 2 dollars in his pocket. So where is the missing dollar? there isn’t a missing dollar since each lady gets a dollar.
Next, we are assigned to rate our dear professor and make sure to end his final semester here at Rowan with a good review overall.
Then we went over creating portfolio requirements and revisions at the time, the act of regrades, and seeing the numerous ways that the professor can see our revisions and explain why we always keep rewrites in one paper. As well as going over citations for a little bit just to catch people up on how it works.
Cool.

Riddle- math problem, last part is a lie
Class Activities – RMP is moot but still use it, titles of books are italicized not in quotations, single word – double quotations, series is double quoted, block quotes,
Separate posts for Short Arguments – don’t use paratheatrical citation, internal links should open up a new tab
Check Reflective Statement for Compliance – nuisance assignment, links to arguments, 125 words for each section

Make sure you pay attention to the little lies. They can mislead you and lead to false conclusions.
Every item needs a title.
Core value one is responding to revisions
If you want to lie, of course, a close examination of the Missing Dollar Riddle will be very valuable.

-Missing Dollar Paradox- 3 ladies each hand over a $10 and get $1 back each spending $9 each. The text states, “Now, each of the ladies paid $9.” This is a lie that completely tricks the reader to misunderstand the riddle.
-Although rate my professor is moot now for Professor Hodges we still can put a review down and read them.
-Went over a research essay and discussed some punctuational mistakes such as italicizing and quoting books titles. Also, learned how to block quote as using big quotes in paragraphs can distract a reader.
-Citations: Don’t use parenthesis after an authors name, after a quote. Different publishers want different styles of citations and publications such as APA, MLA, informal APA, informal MLA.
-Self-Reflective Statement Assignment is meant to review if you meant the core values of writing
