In a reply to this posting, describe 2-3 criteria that you feel are the most important things to consider when evaluating our drafts of essay #3. Be specific in naming your criteria as well--don't just say "research" but indicate what about the research we should evaluate (representative research? sufficient research? frequently cited research? etc).

1. The paper analyzes the field as a discourse community. It doesn't describe what the field is or topics witin the field, but looks at the important aspects of s discourse community that we have talked about in class.
2. Different types of sources are used. A person does not just pull things off the internet, or only use books to find information. There is a variety of sources utilized.
3. Some of the questions that were posted in the assignment sheet and on the wiki are answered. Not everything, but more information should be included than just what the language is or how the community utilizes the language. Maybe include information on how the discourse community differs in the way that it communicates with those in the field and those not in the field.
Important Criteria for Essay #3:
Define how the community is able to communicate
Research and writings incorporated within the field
Non-written discourse, (ex: gestures, body language, movement, observations)
Audience
Present vs. Past (what has come about that is new in the discourse community that has changed a certain aspect of that community, ex: Internet, online classes, television programs, etc)
One thing that I think that should be considered criteria when evaluating these essays is: *content information-whether or not the paper discusses why their field is a discourse community. Another criteria to look at should be: layout-is the paper organized in a way so that it makes sense to the reader.
One last thing is: use of support- does the paper support its argument with good resources?
Here's a few criteria I think are important:
1) Audience awareness--is the essay written with sufficient background information so the reader (someone who may not be familiar with the field) can easily understand it? Is the tone and use of jargon appropriate for the reader?
2) Use of Sources--are sources relied upon for the majority of the paper (at least 1-2 sources are cited in each body paragraph)? Do the sources aid in identifying the field as a discourse community?
3) Purpose--is the main goal of the essay to discover the ways in which the discourse uses language and communication? Is this goal consistent throughout all paragraphs of the essay?
My research is the understanding the multiple ways of how the business world works. My criteria of representivie research would be the organizations that I often go to for further business intelligence on how the business world operates. For my Frequent research I plan to use the articles that you gave us as well as my school supplies from other courses from my past year at BGSU and Owens Community College. I know my post is brief but I will have more information on Friday on how my third paper will be set up.
1) Make sure your audience is informed of your workfield of choice and knows basic information of that workfield.
2)Properly explain the discourse community of the workfield that was chosen
3)Display the information in a structured way that makes sense and is gramatically correct
Some Criteria for Essay #3 are:
1. The writer is analyzing their field as a discourse community and not just talking about their future profession.
2. The writer cites sources when they are using them, also are the sources helpful? do they help analyze their career field as a discourse community?
3. With so many sources being used in this paper sometimes it can feel as though the writer is just using sources and they dont have their own ideas within the paper. Does the writer have a good organization of the paper with a balance of research and their own ideas as they analyze the discourse community.
1.Structure-there should be a logical flow
2.Clear thesis-easily identifiable and explains discourse community
3.Creativity-should be original, grab readers attention
1. The citations/quotes should support the writers point, it should supplement and support the idea in the paragraph.
2. Research materials should be relevant and creditable. A random blogger’s opinion has less weight than a professor in the field.
3. The terms and use of dialogue should be analyzed as a discourse community, not just in how they are used by what makes the field’s rhetoric symbolic of the community as a whole.
Important Criteria-
1) relevant information- is the information I included going to sway my understanding of the topic? is it even credible?
2) how is discourse community clearly represented in my field? and how IMPORTANT is it to my field? how important is it to understand this discourse community? (i.e. medical jargon and legal jargon)
3) how does the discourse community relate to the success of the occupation? how are these two things related?
A few of the important criteria to consider when evaluating essay #3 drafts for Interpersonal Communication and Public Speaking may include: 1. sufficient background information pertaining to public speaking and IPC such as techniques and methods. 2. The language use and rhetoric that can be applied to IPC and public speaking such as proper language use and format.
3. information and content research - I feel that in order to properly research something like IPC or public speaking, it is important to consider the content of what is being researched and to understand the material.
Here are some criteria I think should be looked for on Friday!
If the sources used in the paper are used effectively and not just random sources. The sources should compliment each other and give the essay a sense of wholeness almost. They shouldn't leave the reader feeling like they've jumped from topic to topic or from source to source. There should be relatively smooth transitions.
Even if the sources do compliment each other, they should more importantly pertain to the issue at hand. Sources shouldn't stray from the topic even if they mesh together.
Different types of sources are important, too. If the same type is used all of the time, the essay could possibly get dry or really really repetitive.
Criteria Questions:
Is the information proven?
-How in depth does the writer go about the info.
Is there a vivid picture of the discourse community?
Can the reader get a picture of the community.
Does it give a point of view in the essay?
-Can the reader understand what the writers point of view is.
