October Cycle Meta

This is a major, formal assignment and you have until class-time on Tuesday to complete this, so spend the appropriate amount of time on it. I would prefer this sent to me digitally, so please email it to me as a google doc or as an attachment.

Email me if you have any questions.
Best.
Mr. Gallagher

I would like you to grade yourself on each of the following categories for the October cycle:

Homework & Classwork: List all the things you did in this category. Explain why you deserve the grade you gave yourself and explain what you learned this cycle. Then write what your goals are for next cycle. Recommended minimum: 300 words.
Ads: List all the things you did in this category. Explain why you deserve the grade you gave yourself and explain what you learned this cycle. Then write what your goals are for next cycle.
Major Projects & Duties: List all the things you did in this category. Be specific with your process. Explain why you deserve the grade you gave yourself and explain what you learned this cycle. Then write what your goals are for next cycle. Recommended minimum: 500 words.

Based on the Malden High Handbook, an A means you exceeded any and all expectations—went over and above what was asked and found things to do independently; a B means you did a very good job on what was asked of you; a C means you completed your work and it was good to average; a D means you did not put in full effort.

Assignments for critique sessions

Below are two scoring guides for the following assignments due next week. You are to mark-up the newspaper before the class, which you will be graded on. You will also be graded on your participation in the critique session, so make sure your notes help guide you to sophisticated analysis.

• On Monday 10.18.10, Late-entry, the schedule is 7,1,2,3. You are to come in with pages 5 - 8 marked up. This is the section that we will be covering in the critique.

• On Tuesday 10.19.10, Day 1, you are to come in with pages 1 - 4 and 9 - 17 marked up. These are the sections that we will be covering in the critique.

• On Wednesday 10.20.10, Day 7 (Long Block), you are to come in with pages 18 -24 marked up as well as some written thoughts about the website. These are the sections that we will be covering in the critique.

This is a very important part of the class in terms of your grade since it is easy to specify in grading criteria, so please put in the appropriate effort. As you returning members know, this is such a valuable time for us to make improvements on our process and our product.
