Printing for Peer Editing
For our peer editing session, you will need two copies of your rough draft, printed on paper. The reasons for this are:
- Handing your laptop around the room is very awkward (and risky).
- Nobody ever feels free to type their comments into your rough draft on your computer.
- There is always someone who forgets to bring a rough draft, and when we only have one copy (or computer) per person, we simply run out of essays to work on.
Three notes about peer editing
- Peer editing counts as a quiz. If you show up without a rough draft (or if you don’t show up at all) you get zero for that quiz.
- Handing your computer around is so awkward and generates many problems (in addition to the fact that nobody will write comments on your computer file), so you will only get 80% credit for bringing your draft on a computer without any paper copy.
- If you bring in a really short rough draft, you will not get full credit for this exercise. After all, if the assignment is four pages and you only bring one, your editors cannot give you an opinion about whether the introduction or conclusion really work with the body of the essay.
Getting things printed
Ashland students have access to several printers through a program called “Find Me Printing.” If you have not used it before, this website shows you how to get set up. If you cannot get things going, the IT desk on the main floor of the library should be able to answer your questions.
