-- Writing samples will be a maximum of 15** pages each, and will be submitted to the CGS 299 course web site (using the Upload Writing Sample link), no later than Tuesday 6 days before the writing workshop. Please provide a paragraph describing the context for this writing sample, including who the intended audience is, and what kind of feedback would be most useful for you.

-- Written feedback on writing samples will be submitted to the course web site using the Upload Comments link before the start of the workshop. We agree that some participants might have greater capacity than others to provide written feedback. Some suggestions for effective feedback can be found on page two of the syllabus.

-- bt will assign six people to provide feedback for each workshop slot randomly. Participants can trade if they wish thereafter.

-- It is understood that some folx might have reduced capacity to provide feedback because of stressors like dissertation defenses/deadlines.

**For submissions of more than 15 pages, feedback providers can skim the text or focus on a smaller section.
