Goals and Assessment for June 11
I devoted myself to revising according to all the marginal comments and tracked changes the authors gave me.  I have one more change to go--they questioned how I had reviewed their case study in the book.  I will have to reread it to assure my summary of it is accurate.  Also, I will only use part of their case study to review--the part that's most similar to our study.  The entire case study is way to confusing to communicate to readers anyway.  They took a whole chapter to describe what they did; I have only a sentence or two. Removing the complete explanation will actually free up some words I can use to clarify or expand other parts.

Goals and Assessment for June 12
Because of a crisis in my department--the sudden and unexpected firing of three instructors--we had a 2-hour faculty meeting this morning so I couldn't get much work done.  But I did respond to our Writing Center's long Writing Across the Curriculum survey that we're piloting, I did write an important letter about what happened to us.  Also, after camp, I edited my ex-grad student's abstract that she is submitting for a prestigious dissertation award that I need to write her a letter of recommendation for by June 15.

Overall Evaluation of the Camp Experience
This camp was one of my favorites camps we've done. I was skeptical about Zoom, but it worked! Attendance was good, dissertators were forthcoming, and I learned a lot from the presentations, which I thought was the best set of presentations yet.  I am looking forward though to regulating my own writing time and to get some of the writing chores done (like that letter of rec, like the review of the faculty member, like recruiting faculty for writing fellows) that have been piling up.  Also, I helped get two collaborative articles underway--the one I write about above and one I'm doing with the above award applicant based on her qualitative dissertation data.  I also launched with her and another ex-student from Spanish/FLARE a big "arm chair" review of all the studies about writing in Spanish in the US published in the 21st century.
