 Brownbag Workshops

 Revising to Make the Most of Feedback

 

This workshop helps you organize the process and revisions you need to make in your memo so it is more effective and the process is less overwhelming. The workshop also covers ways to learn from your teacher’s comments and use that knowledge to improve your memo revision even more.  It is helpful, but not required, to bring to the workshop your memo’s first draft with the teacher’s comments.   The workshop is running for two weeks to work around individual conferences with teachers and to keep the workshops small so there is enough time for individual questions.

Workshop times:

 

Thursday, Nov. 13, at 9:55 in room 3226

Thursday, Nov. 13, at 11:00 in room 3261

 Polishing QPs, BAs, and Issues for Readability and Focus
