I like how you built
upon multiple
points made by
others &
strengthened them
with new evidence
& thinking
I like how you built
upon another’s
point &
strengthened
through support;
How might you
make a habit of
this?
I noticed you
simply repeated
someone else’s
point; How
could you make
that point even
stronger?
I noticed you
seemed to
focus solely on
your own points
or seemed
disconnected;
What’s up?
Timeliness
(AI/HoM)
I dig how it was
turned in by the
beginning of the
class period due
(even early!)
I appreciate that
you turned it in by
the end of the next
day after it was
due.
Why did it take
you almost a
week to turn it
in? Help me
understand?
Why did this
come in two
weeks late?
