5.3 workshop research essays

We reviewed the assignment sheet for the research essay and you used the guidelines for the workshop (posted last week) to work on your essays.  Most of you have a good start - make sure to set up your project in light of  other research, make several clear points that relate to your research question, and use specific references to your research data to support your points - and you will nail this one.

I sent you comments to blogs 8-11.

For next week:
Blog 12: Final research essay

Also send your final research essay and your final exam to the course email.  See you next week!
