Problem Assignment and Revision
Guideline: Allow for incremental improvement - Encourage students to begin working on projects early in the semester and to turn in small parts of the project (such as a bibliography of resources, an outline, or a rough draft) throughout the semester. Give feedback. Assignment: Students are asked to complete a lengthy research paper on a topic of their choice. Problem: Students seem overwhelmed by the project and the end product is a less-than-organized and less-than-thorough examination of the topic. There is no clear thesis statement and/or argument to support the thesis. Selection of cited materials shows limited range of sources used. There is also no clear indication that the research process has been discussed in class or that components of the project have been identified. Revised Assignment:
