Assignment: Reading academic papers

Due: Tuesday 9/20

Given what you learned in class, let’s practice it! For this week’s reading, do the following.

  1. Pick 3 papers to read using pass 1
  2. Of those 3 papers, pick 2 to read at the level of pass 2
  3. Of those 2 papers, pick 1 to read at the level of pass 3.
  4. Update your QQC doc to reflect your decisions and write a QQC entry for each paper.
  5. Add a separate section in your QQC doc with a Header 1 of “Reflection on Reading Academic Papers” and answer the following:
    1. What criteria did you use to choose the papers to move on to the next pass? Note this isn’t asking “why that particular paper,” it’s asking you to go meta and think about your decision process.
    2. How did it feel to read in a way that is different than reading every word?

Grading

  • Exemplary (10 points) – There is an entry for all three papers, noting which paper was which pass, and the reflection questions are answered.
  • Satisfactory (9 points) – All entries are there, but they are not clearly labeled. Reflection is present.
  • Not yet (6 points) – One pass is missing or the reflection is missing.
  • Unassessable (2 points) – There is an entry but it does not fulfill the Not yet criteria.

Regrade

You may redo the work and request a single regrade to update your grade.
