How I grade your News U assignment
5 points: Does the writing make sense. If it’s riddled with errors and I am not sure of
what I am reading, I have to object.
5 points: Does your paper have an introduction showing me you know a little bit about
writing?
Good Example: When I enrolled in the NewsU course, Handling Race and
Ethnicity, I had no idea how little I knew on the topic. From the introduction on, I
learned some very cool stuff. (Then you would go on to talk about the cool stuff.)
Bad Example: Yeah. It was cool. I learned a lot. Uh huh.
