I added a basic rubric to the professional bio to speed up the grading process. Rather than having to write out comments, I can just click whether you met (or didn’t meet) the requirements for the project.

The characteristics in the rubric came directly from Step 4 of the assignment.

Nothing about how your work is graded changes. Your bio is still either complete or incomplete. If it’s incomplete, you can revise until you meet all the characteristics. Because of the way rubrics work in Canvas, I had to assign a value to each criteria. These numbers are just how Canvas works. Your grade will either be 100 or 0. If it’s 0, all you have to do is revise.

As you are working on your table for the Analysis project, you may find yourself in the situation where a row of information breaks onto two pages. Our #WeekendWatch takes care of that problem. All you need to do is change a checkbox in Word to keep rows of information together.

This Auburn University Writing Center video demonstrates how to change that setting in Microsoft Word for Mac. The process for Windows is similar, so it’s still worth watching the video if you’re a Windows person.
