10% of total grade
We have covered a number of writing enhancement skills in class this semester, including:
–Logos, ethos, and pathos*
–Strong verb choice*
–Organizational strategies (general to specific, specific to general, familiar to unfamiliar, unfamiliar to familiar, climactic, problem to solution, cause and effect)*
–Framing quotes
–Saying “why it matters”
–Your voice
–Audience choice
–Metacommentary
–Yes, No, Okay—But approach
To prepare for your final exam, review these topics from class discussion, D2L News items, and your text, They Say/I Say. Topics with an asterisk are not in the text; all others are. Be prepared to show on the final exam that you understand the skill and how to apply it.
NOTE: logos, ethos, and pathos count as one item.
Your final exam will be taken during regular class time on Tuesday, November 30, 2021. You will have the entire class period to complete the exam and submit your answers to the dropbox which will be open during class time only. We will not meet via Zoom that day.
