Required Reading: Lannom, Chapters 12, 13
Required Work -- online exercises
Discussion Board Participation
It's Time for the AAPG National Convention
A New Competition for Papers (based on Abstracts), and
You're the Judge!
It's your job to visit the "booths" and to evaluate and assess their abstracts (see below). It is your job to rank the abstracts and to give out the awards for First Place, Second Place, Third Place, and Honorable Mention. You will also give a "Secondary Recovery Award." You will rewrite the abstract that is the most in need of clarification. Your revision should have 125 words or less.
Instructions:
1--Please write a two-sentence evaluation of each of the abstracts. Include a description of the usefulness, clarity, and general feel of the abstract.
2--Then, pick out the one you believe was the most confusing of the abstracts. That is your "Secondary Recovery Award" winner. Please rewrite it to make it clearer and more understandable.
