My final project for graduation was a "provisional pass." The committee "admired my argument but wanted me to edit the paper because I had a few recurring grammatical errors. This final project is above and beyond our normal coursework. If you don't get the green light on the Independent paper and final portfolio - You don't graduate. Yes, a little bit of stress. So, I met with one of the readers to discuss the errors which was very helpful. So, now I must re-submit the final paper and wait to hear about the results of it and the final portfolio. The professor that I met with told me she really likes my argument and that it was solid. Thank the Lord - I worked hard to try to make the argument solid. The topic was "Effective Teacher Talk in the Second Language Writing Conference." Basically, I focused on the use of scaffolding and negotiation (and its benefits) as we try to assist our students in their writing. I should know by next week if it's passes.
