Math 220 Writing Assignment 5
due Tuesday 04/03/2018 or Thursday 04/05/2018
The goal of this assignment is to revise and proofread your
draft (based on peers comments ).
-
Step 1:
Revise the whole draft acting on your peer's responces. Find what FITS and what doesn't. ADD to develop and
clarity. CUT what doesn't help.
'' Remember,
that as a writer, you are trying to communicate with your readers, and
this means taking seriously the problems they identify. Of course, it
is up to YOU to decide which responses are appropriate, but even
inappropriate criticism sometimes sets off a train of thought that
leads to good ideas for revision.'' [1]

Step 3: Print out your new draft and bring
all three drafts (the new one and two copies of the previous one
with peer's comments and student editor worksheets) to class on Tuesday 04/03 or Thursday 04/05 and give them back to your instructor.
Note that if no
revision was done, 15 points will be taken off from the final term paper grade.
If you submit this assignment earlier (04/03), you get 3 extra points toward the final paper grade.
