Week 10


Overview of the Week:
​

This week, you will have feedback returned from your professor on your research paper.  Now, work to make your paper a stellar piece of writing—a piece of writing that you could use as a writing sample, as you move on to your new career and/or future studies.  

Read your work aloud.  Ask a friend or family member to read it to you.  Consider your word choice.  Double-check your citations.  Improve your transitions.   Proofread x 3.  Use your online writing resources.

We will address the following course outcomes this week: 
  • Apply an understanding of social justice, as an active member of the St. Catherine community of scholars, with a particular focus on dismantling systemic racism
  • Apply knowledge and skills, using various perspectives from the liberal arts traditions, women-centered scholarly work and Catholic social teaching
  • Apply excellent critical thinking, critical reading and scholarly writing skills (including excellence in sentence level fluency, organization, voice and audience)

 
Critically Read and Think About:
  • The feedback from your professor
  • The Model Research Paper presented in Week 9--how does your paper compare? 
  • The Introduction to Learning Video from Week 9

Participate in Learning Community Conferences:
  • Your professor will post options for learning community conferences.
 
Post:
  • Share your research question, thesis, and conclusion of your research paper with your learning community on the discussion board.
  • Comment on the research questions, theses, and conclusions of 2-3 members of your learning community.
