Except for the Final Examination, which takes place on Monday, this class is just about wrapped up. The students are hurriedly finishing up some online work. I have created a set of 15 worksheets dealing with videos of manufacturing processes. They were supposed to finish them during the term, but are taking time to finish up any incomplete ones. Also, my students must complete 10 questions which pertain to the materials studied in an online message board. The last task is a memo asking them to justify the mark they'd like for their participation.
BACKGROUND
We have been working all term on improving writing skills. In COMM 0005, you will learn many details about creating effective memos.
ASSIGNMENT
You know from the course outline that there is a mark for your participation in our class. I generally consider your:
• class attendance
• message board participation (computer lab)
• leadership when working in groups
• active involvement in class discussions
• ability to get along with classmates
• use of extra time in a constructive manner.
You must write a memo to me. Be sure to use headings and a subject line. Tell me the mark (between 1 and 6) that you feel you should have and why. Please include the number of classes you missed. Include any information that would convince me that your proposed mark is accurate.
STEPS TO FOLLOW:
A) Your memo should have:
1. Correct subject headings
2. Clearly stated reason for memo
3. The results you expect me to do.
B) Write a draft copy and check for:
• correct information
• complete and correct sentence structure
• complete paragraph structure
• any mistakes in grammar
C) Write the final copy right here. Approximate Length: 80 to 120 words.
MARKING FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT
I will not mark this writing. Yet, I will take your ideas into consideration when I turn in the final marks. This is one of your final chances to influence me in a positive way.
Peace Out!
