Below will appear information regarding the Evaluation Exercise (EvalEx), adapted for online presentation. This version is to be considered authoritative, superseding any previously published information regarding the EvalEx.
Because recognizing effective technical writing is both a skill useful in itself and is a means for students to learn better how to evaluate and assess their own writing, those in my sections of ENGL 3323 will be expected to sit for the EvalEx. In it, students will be presented with a piece of writing and asked to apply the various principles of technical writing discussed in the textbook and in class to it, assessing it for its overall effectiveness.
Owing to scheduling in the Spring 2015 term, information about the EvalEx was distributed entirely during class sessions.
More information may be forthcoming. Check back for updates.
