GEOLOGY 6900 (Geological Manuscripts) – Spring 2019

Schedule of Topics, Assignments, and Writing Deadlines
(deadlines are NOT negotiable)

First submitted drafts of all formal written assignments will be peer-reviewed by 2 class participants.

All revised submssions will be reviewed by Rigsby.

FINAL PORTFOLIOS must include all reviewed (marked-up) drafts, the author's responses to reviewers' comments, clean (unmarked) final drafts, and the author's written commentary on other students' work.

SPECIFIC FILE EXCHANGE INSTRUCTIONS:

All course assignment files (drafts, editorial work, final portfolios, etc.) will be exchanged electronically via ECU's OneDrive service.

Use the following convention for course folder names:  GEOL6900_YourLastName and create contain clearly named subfolders for each course project and for the final portfolio.  Use the following names for your subfolders:

• YourLastName_01_Abstract, 
• YourLastName_02_Proposal, 
• YourLastName_03_Article, 
• YourLastName_04_Poster, and 
• YourLastName_05_Final Portfolio.  

When uploading files into your OneDrive folders, pay close attention to the file location and use the following convention for each assignment file name: AssignmentName_YourLastName_yyyy-mm-dd.doc.  For example, John Doe's first submission of the Journal Article would be named Article_Doe_2019-03-26.doc, his revised submission of the Journal Article would be named Article_Doe_2019-03-26.doc, and his final version would be called Article_Doe_2019-05-01.doc. It is important that all files are consistently named. All students are expected to be familiar with the procedures for naming, sending, and receiving electronic files via OneDrive.

· Upload your first submitted drafts to the appropriate OneDrive folder, share the draft with the two people assigned as peer reviews (editors) and with me, and send email notifications to both peer-reviewers and to Rigsby when you have done so.

· After you have incorporated all reviewer comments and compiled a response to those comments, upload your revised submissions and your responses into the appropriate folder – and send an email notification – to Rigsby only.

· Upload your final course portfolio into the appropriate folder – and send an email notification – to Rigsby only.
