 * Ha, I didn't realize this template came with a link to something that's probably completely useless to you--sorry. I had a question. You were getting some decent review work from students in that theater class. Did you mandate something like a minimum number of words? Was there a template for them? I'm always having a hard time getting them to take these things seriously. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 17:22, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi there,

I made the evaluations exercise worth 15% of the grade for the wikipedia portion of the course. This amounts to about 10% of their overall grade for the course. So that's probably what made them take it seriously. I asked the students to use the questions in the evaluation training module as a template, and I didn't give a word count, which is something I might change next time I teach the course. Hope this helps!

 * Thanks--you got much more out of them than I did (in Freshman Comp). What level class is yours? Drmies (talk) 19:42, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

They're a mixed 300 level class, with both first year students and third year students, from a number of different majors. And, yes, they are a rather good bunch! EmerOToole (talk) 21:48, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I made some minor corrections and moved my article to Wikipedia. Kkravetz (talk) 00:30, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
