Revising your research paper to bring up your grade!

You are eligible to earn points for revisions to your research paper IF:

  1. You scored below a "B"
  2. You correct ALL of the problems listed in the "Penalties" section of your rubric.
    In other words, you will not receive any points if you pick and choose a few simple errors to correct that merely require quick-and-easy fixes. If you are missing a source, or if your paper is too short, or if you don't have enough note cards, or if you had too many quotations, or if you committed any of the errors listed in the right-hand column of the rubric, you must correct ALL of them to receive ANY points.
  3. You submit your revisions in your envelope and include all of your original work AND the rubric I filled out AND your corrected work. If ANY of these items are missing, I will not grade your revisions.
  4. You turn in your paper to me by noon on Tuesday, May 23 or to Ms. Eubanks while I am absent from school. I will not accept any papers that are turned in to the substitute teacher, and I will not accept responsibility for any papers that go missing if they were turned in to a substitute. You must submit them to me or Ms. Eubanks.

Meet these criteria, and you can earn points back on your paper. The amount of points will depend on the type of errors you had and the quality of your revisions. There is no guarantee on the amount of points you will earn back. Again, this is NOT a quick, easy, thoughtless extra credit opportunity. This is an opportunity to provide thoughtful and diligent revisions using my feedback to truly make your paper stronger. Let me know if you have any questions.
