1. Please offer your suggestions as how we can grade your performance better.
My suggestions:
1) Turning in the assignments on time: assessing whether one is self-disciplined and responsible.
2) Interacting with the key pal: assessing the process of sharing different opinions and perspectives with each other.
3) Whether the contents are to the point or connect to weekly topics: to make sure that students meet the teacher’s expectations—Quality is better than quantity.
4) The accuracy of word choice and English grammar: to have a good command of English is an important requirement for students who major in English.
2. Based on the criteria you suggested in Q1, please give a score to yourself and explain how you’ve earned it.
According to the criteria I suggested above, I give myself 8 points.
1) I make it a rule to finish the assignments and turn in them on time every week.
2) My key pal and I have a nice interaction, but sometimes we reply to each other late. I think we have already noticed this problem and we are willing to improve it.
3) In general, my composition and key pal’s responses connect to weekly topics.
Sometimes, we have deeper insight and discuss some interesting things. I love to read and express different opinions on the blog with my key pal.
4) In terms of word choice and grammar, when I am confused about some words or phrases, I immediately look them up in dictionaries to learn or review the usage. Even so, there are still many problems in my compositions. Hope teachers can point out my downside and I will rethink and revise my compositions. Thank you!
3. Based on the criteria you suggested in Q1, please give a score to your partner and explain how she has earned it.
According to the criteria I suggested above, I give my key pal 8 points.
She often replies to my articles in a short time. Moreover, she reads my articles and topics carefully; thus, her comments usually connect to the subjects. After reading her comments, I find some unfamiliar terms and I also see different perspectives. For me, this is a good way of learning. Great! ：）
Dear Glory,
回覆刪除In my opinion, you provide standard and great suggestions for grading the performance on this writing project. I think handing the assignments on time is crucial and necessary. It shows whether you keep this project in mind or not. Besides, interacting with key pal is very important. Since professors design this project for us to cooperate with each other, we have to share our opinions and respond to each other regularly and notice it anytime. It is great of you to mention the contents have to connect with the weekly topics. I think it is meaningful to do that. If we just merely share own experience, it would be sort of strange. We may add our own interpretation or connect the topic with current events, but we’d better not to focus on what we discuss. Due to it is a writing project, we learn how to write a good composition, and we can consider which word is the most appropriate used in this project. It really helps us to practice.
Dear Lily,
回覆刪除I am glad that you agree on most of my standards. If you have any other idea, please feel free to make a comment. By the way, if you want to give me a score based on your criteria, I am willing to accept your suggestions. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Glory
