- There will be questions that ask you to define terms in bold in WTP and terms in italics from the scanned reading. For example, what is the difference between a clause and a phrase? Also, what is a nominalization? This section will be worth twenty points.
- There will be questions that ask you to apply the knowledge in these chapters to actual sentences. For example, I could ask you to classify sentences according to the four sentence types. Also, I could ask you to rewrite passages so that they are more parallel. Finally, I could give you a passage or a few sentences and ask you to cut the fat. This section will be worth forty points.
- There will be passages that you must edit fully. For example, I could give you a passage and ask you to edit it using all of the ideas in both readings. Also, I could ask you to take a passage and edit it to create a final, usable document (much like the exercise we did in class where you created a library handout based on the large clump of text I gave you). This section will be worth forty points.
This is the place for all information related to Dr. Nels P. Highberg's section of RPW 215W for Fall 2010 at the University of Hartford.
