Critical Thinking Papers



Critical Thinking Paper Guidelines Read this information carefully, your grade depends upon it.
These papers can be written on the front and back of one sheet of paper OR on the back of previously used paper. Doing so will garner you an extra point. Failure to do so will cost you two point.

There is a GEO 300 library guide for GEO 300 posted on the library website at the same url as previous versions (http://ica.library.oregonstate.edu/course-guide/1556-GEO300). 


Extra Credit Opportunity. I believe that students benefit from peer review. To get credit for peer review, attach evidence when you turn the paper in. If you go to the writing center, or have someone outside class review your paper, attach a note from the reviewer and you can get the 10 points. More typically you get points for reviewing another student's paper. Remember that the course total of 40 MU/EC points.

Still blew it? You can redo the second and third papers to improve your score, but there is a catch. The rescore will go into the "Make-up Work/Extra Credit column on the grade spreadsheet and the CT Column will show a "0" So if you want to improve your # 2 and # 3 CT Papers scores badly enough to eat up MU/EC points, go ahead and rework it. Remember that there is a course total of 40 MU/EC points.
