criteria

Creativity and organization- I say this because these are two things that make an essay worth reading and worth your while. The third one should be the quality of the essay. You have to consider weather or not the writer really is putting forth effort.

Research thus far

I was not in class this morning because I was searching for more resources on my career field at the Library. I didn't get too much more. I have several websites with information, but would like to gather text books with information. I'm having trouble doing so. My career field is secondary education. Questions that I have are: do we focus on one main point, such as low wages for teachers? Do I describe courses required to get into this career field?

criteria

Essay 3 Criteria

1. Clarity of Source: This should be the main focus becuase we will be using these sources to better define and explain our DC. The sources need to be from somewhat reputable places. Academic Search Premier would be a good source locator.
2. Organization: It's a given.
3. Creativity: Writing a boring paper is a terrible terrible thing. You might as well have not even written it. Having a little creativity will add jazz to the paper to get your audience's attention.

But I have found out thus far that there are some rules to this particular discourse community.
