As of right now, this is the list of students who are completely done with the course and will be exempt from the final exam. These individuals will receive an "A" on their final for completing their tasks in an exemplary AND timely fashion.
That said, the final WILL BE the final critique and research paper. Some people need to simply revise it, others need to actually DO IT. My expectation will be that these assignments are completed in class (or both) in the computer lab in 220.

Peer Critique Review Worksheet
Write your name on the top of your partner's paper.
1. Read critique through start to finish without stopping.
2. Pick up a pen and check critique for mechanical and grammatical errors. Place an "awk" in front of any sentence that contains a structural issue.
3. None just read the intro paragraph(s). Is the intro devisive? Does it employ an attention grabbing element? Does it preview the tone or main points of the criticism? Can you isolate a thesis? Is it well written. Box what you think the thesis is.
4. Now read the synopsis paragraph(s). Does the writer do a good job of writing a clear, concise summation of the film. Is it an appropriate length? Do all characters contain a first reference? Are all actors mentioned with the characters? Is the director, title of the film mentioned first? Is everything punctuated correctly?
5. Do the components of the paper correctly correlate to the thesis? In other words, does the writer focus on what he/she says they will in the thesis? Are the points specific? Does each point provide specific, relevant connection to the film itself?
6. Is there at least one credible source used in the paper. Does it provide adequate support of the point? Is is specific? Is it attributed? Is it cited? Did the writer create a works cited page?

Just thought I'd share this really awesome video!
If you have the time, definitely watch it. The story is adorable, but the cinematography alone is great!
