Hello!
This is a version of the guidance document with track changes, so you can see what this looks like. This is some text which has been added in. The final piece of assessment for Introduction to International Relations is a “reflective summary”, due to be submitted by 1pm, Thursday 14 January 2021. This assessment requires you to work with the feedback you received from your essay (CW2) in order to further develop the work you submitted.
Important: You are not being asked to write a new essay, nor to significantly rewrite your essay (i.e., from first principles). Here is some other text added in. Rather, you are being asked to engage with the feedback you received, and further develop your work along the lines suggested by your tutor.
Understanding the feedback for your essay
The reflective summary asks you to engage with the tutor feedback you receive from your essay (CW2), which will be released by 12pm on Friday 11 December 2020. This feedback will provide some overall comments relating to four broad aspects of your essay:
Research (sources consulted)
Argument (structure, analysis)
Presentation (expression, spelling, grammar)
Referencing (citations, bibliography)
You will also be given a number of specific points for “improving your grade”. These points are presented so as to be relevant to future essays you write, and it is a very good idea to focus your attention on developing your written work along the lines suggested by your tutor. Feedback should always have an element of “‘feed-forward”’, and each assessment is also part of your larger journey in your course, so it is important to appreciate the connections between the individual pieces! In the sentence above, I changed “double quotation marks” to ‘single quotation marks’.
Your new submission
With this feedback in mind, you will need to submit one document via Blackboard, by 1pm, Thursday 14 January 2021. This new document needs to have two parts.
First, it should have a one page (400-500 word) reflective summary, explicitly reflecting on the feedback you received for the essay and summarising the ways in which your revised essay has addressed this feedback. The summary should take each element of feedback in turn, and describe how your revised essay has addressed the point raised by your tutor and where in the essay you have addressed it. You should be specific here, pointing to locations in the essay where you have added new sources, reworded sentences to make them clearer, removed spelling mistakes, introduced new points, and so on.
With this feedback in mind, you will need to submit one document via Blackboard, by 1pm, Thursday 14 January 2021. This new document needs to have two parts.
Look, the sentence above used to be higher up the document. I have moved this, and the change has been tracked. Second, it should have a revised version of your essay which directly addresses the specific points raised in the feedback, by further developing your work along the lines suggested. This new version will need to have all changes “tracked” so that it is clear what has changed and where (see below for exactly how to do this).
Remember, this needs to be one document. It would be easiest to start with the essay you submitted, develop it further (tracking changes) and then add a first page where you provide the reflective summary as a cover letter. You should turn off track changes before you write your summary, so that this appears as normal text.
Also remember, your revised essay will not be marked again from scratch, so please do not embark on a major rewrite. You will need to simply show that you have addressed each of the points raised in the feedback in 2-3 places throughout the essay. This will then form part of the evidence base to assess the extent to which the you have engaged with the feedback received.
Assessment criteria
In marking the reflective summary, your tutor will consider:
The extent to which the reflection addresses the specific feedback from CW2; and
The extent to which the revisions to the essay address the points raised in the feedback.
How to track changes on a document
It is important to know how to track changes on a document, as it is a way of showing a reader exactly what you have changed since the last time they read it. Lots of professionals, such as academics, journalists or lawyers, use this feature all the time, as their work undergoes multiple rounds of revisions. Even changing the formatting, such as bold or underline, is tracked
To track changes on your essay, follow these easy steps.
Open up the Word version (or convert to Word if you used other software)
Go to the Review tab at the top, then click on Track Changes
Make sure “All Markup” is selected in the little window
Click on “Show Markup”, and make sure everything is ticked (comments, insertions and deletions, formatting)
Click on “Balloons” and make sure “Show Revisions in Balloons” is selected
From then on, any changes you make – whether you are adding text, deleting text, moving text, or reformatting text – will be clearly displayed. Added text will be shown via a different colour in the main body, while deletions will be shown in a balloon in the right-hand margin.
There is a version of this document on Blackboard with some changes tracked, so you can see what this looks like in practice.
You should turn off “track changes” when writing your cover letter, so that this appears as normal text.
Goodbye!
