Review Tab: Track Changes and Balloons Markup for Efficient Editing

2. Everything you need will be in the “Review” tab Make sure that “track changes” is activated (this will show that changes were made and indicate that they are not part of the original text) Select “all markup” Go to “show markup” and select “balloons” Select you preference

3. You have a fondness for the dash, and it’s not always to your benefit. I’ll correct it when necessary. What are they arguing? Can this be re-organized? I’ve added this explanation just to make Latour’s point clear. If you want to use this, great; if you want to put it in your own words, that’s fine too. Bit repetitive . . . Do you agree with this? Your introduction seems opposed to such “reductive” readings, which invoke the figure of “patriarchy” to explain literary texts. Ask questions Comment on their content (i.e., what do you think of this issue?) Is anything unclear? STYLE CONTENT ORGANIZATION

4. How do blogs differ from journalistic sources? • Sometimes they overlap • Anyone can write and publish a blog • Journalism is produced by professional journalists, reporters, and editors • Popular, commercial blogs are often plagiarized (copied and pasted from another source with quotation marks or citation). • Some blogs are intended to sell products. Journalism should be free of commercial interest (although it is sometimes blamed for selling political parties) • Journalism must meet certain standards. Some sources are cited, or at least credited, and it is edited and approved by other journalists. • However, some journalism is published as a blog, and some blogs do cite sources and have valuable information (it depends who is publishing it and for what purpose) • As a general rule, you should try to determine the credibility of the publisher and the author. The more credible the source, the more likely they are to support their claims with evidence and cite their sources. • However, no matter how credible the source, blogs are understood to be informal, and therefore not meant to be treated as scholarly sources.

5. Punctuation Conventional and grammatical 8:30 Separate main clauses. March 23, 2016 Separate main clauses from subordinate clauses, like this one. London, Ontario Separate a main clause from another main clause; for example, unless you are listing, semicolons should divide independent clauses. Reporter: Where were you that night? When asked, the interviewee claimed that they had not seen the attack, but heard gunshots coming from the apartment. Witness: I was at home . . .

This is neither a journalistic source, nor is it a government document.

7. A comma splice is what we call an attempt to join two main clauses without the help of a coordinating conjunction (if you get “comma splice on your paper, that means you either need an extra word, or a stronger punctuation mark) This peer-reviewed article discusses university branding practices, it argues that these practices symbolize the exploitation of students, faculty, staff, and citizens. [COMMA SPLICE] This peer-reviewed article discusses university branding practices.it argues that these practices symbolize the exploitation of students, faculty, staff, and citizens.

8. I love Suspiria. It’s a classic. I love Suspiria, It’s a classic. I love Suspiria, the classic horror film. Suspiriais one of my favorite movies. Let’s watch it instead of Love Actually. Instead of Love Actually, let’s watch Suspira. You’ll like it – I promise. Suspiriais great movie, Argento is a genius. What was that?! I think it was a comma-splice. (Shouldn’t it be Love, actually?)

9. Most people avoid using semicolons; mostly, it’s because they don’t know how to use them. Many students incorrectly use semicolons. For example, they may use a semicolon before “and” or “but” when they should have used a comma; they might also use a semicolon instead of a colon, either because they also don’t know how to use a colon, or because they are not sure how the two punctuation marks are different (i.e., what’s “semi” about the semicolon, and how does it differ from a whole colon?). I saw you at the grocery store yesterday; you were carrying a pumpkin. I saw you at the grocery store yesterday, carrying a pumpkin. I present my jack-o-lantern: a work of art. The destiny of pumpkins at Thanksgiving: pie; the destiny of pumpkins at Halloween: jack-o-lanterns.

10. Dashes One of my favorite movies of all time – and one of Argento’s best – is Suspiria. Sorry I couldn’t come out last night – I was watching Suspiria. I don’t like romantic comedies. I prefer horror films. I don’t like romantic comedies, but I did like Don Jon. I don’t like romantic comedies – I prefer horror films – but I did like Don Jon. Oh No! She’s there, waiting for me – just around the corner!

11. “Don’t spend it all in one place – forty-five-thooousand dollars!” Ta da: I’m here.

12. I didn’t go out last night because I wanted to watch a movie instead. I told my friends I couldn’t go out last night (but I didn’t tell them that I stayed up and watched movies instead). I told my friends I couldn’t go out last night (I didn’t tell them that I stayed up and watched movies instead – they might be disappointed!). I didn’t go out because I wanted to watch movies, particularly that new horror movie by my favorite director, and I’m kind of worried my that friends will be mad if they find out. Without the parenthetical segment: I didn’t go out because I wanted to watch movies and I’m kind of worried that my friends will be mad if they find out.

13. One way to include a parenthetical item, like this, is to encase it in commas. Another way (like this) is to enclose it in parenthesis. One way to include an important parenthetical item – and the most exciting way – is to set it off with dashes. * Note that a dash ( – ) is not the same thing as a hyphen ( - ) *

14. Marx’s “commodity fetishism” also draws on the anthropological notion of the fetish, although he associates it with “the misty realm of religion” in general, rather than – as anthropologists commonly did – with non-European religion (Marx 165). He did this thing instead of – what these other people did – the usual thing. This is not so much a question of historical accuracy, but rather recognizing the “rhetorical situations” with which they engage – situations which may or may not be particular to a time or place. This is not because of this, but because of this – this thing which is this quality.

15. Analytical writing is a form of participation, not unmediated objectivity, since texts – including analytic descriptions – participate in the creation of meaning (Latour, Reassembling 124-130). This thing is __ because these things – including these particular things – do this. Latour’s method relies on “description” and avoids “explanation.” This means that instead of attributing any given phenomenon to opaque bundles of connections – such as “the words ‘society,’ ‘power,’ ‘structure,’ and ‘context,’” – we must make these connections visible (Reassembling 22). This is a simple sentence. It means that instead of doing this thing – such as ____ – we must do this other thing.

16. How can we fix this? (With changing, removing, or adding punctuation, only) “[Feynman] claims that for students to have an accurate understanding of what science is, they have to experience it, test and get involved, in other words they have to feel it and not just hear the definitions.” “[Feynman] claims that for students to have an accurate understanding of what science is, they have to experience it, test and get involved;in other words,they have to feel it and not just hear the definitions.” “So we as students or as Hearn puts it “customers” will have to pay an increase in tuition to cover the cost?” “So, we,as students – or, as Hearn puts it,“customers” –will have to pay an increase in tuition to cover the cost?”
