BUSB 301 – ASSIGNMENT: Writing Experiments (20 points–4 x 5 points)
BACKGROUND
This assignment asks you to experiment with at least four exercises/techniques/strategies from our course modules or Writing Analytically.
Each week, I’ll let you know which exercises from the course lectures are appropriate to use. Any major exercise from Writing Analytically will work (the “Try This” exercises work well). You might try exercises that focus on areas of weakness in your writing. When possible, use experiments to help you with your analytical essays. Above all, engage the spirit of the assignment by trying out new techniques on different aspects of writing throughout the course. Experiment.
EXPERIMENT REQUIREMENTS
Each experiment submission must include the following THREE PARTS:
PART 1: Introduce the exercise: (at least one well-developed paragraph)
· Identify and explain the exercise you have chosen
· Explain your reason for choosing this exercise
PART 2: Complete the chosen exercise from Writing Analytically or a lecture
· Do the exercise
· Include/provide all evidence of the exercise itself (what you wrote to do the experiment).
PART 3: Reflect on the exercise and its results (at least two well-developed paragraphs)
· Explain and reflect upon how the process went for you. What happened? Why? What’s the prognosis? If the experiment was productive, why? If it wasn’t, why not? Would you use this technique in future writing projects? Under what conditions? What we should notice about what you did. Reflect in detail upon your process and your results.
