While I encourage you to create or fill out argument maps for every reading to help you prepare adequately for class, you are not required to submit your maps. You should submit 3 and may submit as many as 5 argument maps to be evaluated by the instructor for credit towards the objectives C1, C2, and/or S2. These are graded on the four point scale for each objective (1-emerging, 2-approaching, 3-pass, 4-excellent).
*Note that a 4 on an argument map is rare. Going above and beyond on an argument map requires identifying a suppressed premise or tacit assumption, creating your own novel and incisive objection or line of defense, or cross-referencing texts to build a complete argument.
Download and install the Mindmup 2.0 app for google drive.
Create a folder entitled "homework" in your South Alabama google drive. Open sharing settings and share with the instructor using the email address found on the syllabus.
If you are filling in a map skeleton provided below, open the link and then select "open using Mindmup" towards the top center of the screen. In Mindmup, click "File" and "Make a copy" under the dropdown menu.
Name your copy of each homework map as follows: "last name-map-date" where the date is expressed as "month-day" (Ex. a map for the reading on January 10: jeffrey-map-1-10). Move the document into your homework folder so it is automatically shared with the instructor.
Work on the map.
When you are finished, click "file>>download as>>Mindmup" and upload file to drive. Use the uploaded .mup file when you submit the map.
Submit your map here.
You must submit the map before class on the day the reading is due in order for the assignment to be evaluated by the instructor for credit towards objectives.
