Revision Guidelines

You have the opportunity to revise 2 papers (Project 2 and 3) in this class to improve your grade. You should know that to receive a higher grade, you'll need to do a deep revision which goes beyond basic editing of surface-level errors. If you choose to do a revision on either of these papers, you'll e-mail me two items.

1. a cover letter (1-2 pgs) explaining how you understood my original feedback, what changes you've  made  in your revision to address that feedback, and how the essay is improved after your revision. It's important to me that you address all of my comments both in your letter and in the revision
2. The revised essay. Again, in order to improve your grade, I'll expect you to go beyond mere editing and really think how you can improve the essay on a deeper, more thoughtful level. 

This is a great opportunity to critically examine your work and to think about how it's received by other readers; this kind of meta-cognitive activity will improve your writing abilities. This is optional.
