[Englecturers] Bribes still available

[Gray Scott]

Hello all, 

While everyone's busy trading classes and figuring out what they're teaching next quarter, I would like to remind the few of you who have 1B classes that I'm looking for volunteers to participate in my dissertation research, and I'm offering a bribe of Borders gift certificates to those who participate. The original offer appears below my signature line for anyone who missed it or who don't recall the details.

Thank you,

Gray

Subject: [Gsa-english] Gray turns to bribery


Hello all,

You may recall my sales pitches in previous quarters, seeking instructors willing to participate in some classroom research I'm doing. Well, I'm in need of more samples, and willing at this point to resort to bribery.

If you're teaching a 1B class next quarter and willing to administer one or more team-writing assignments of my design, I'd love to hear from you -- enough that I'll throw some Borders gift certificates your way if you participate. (Previous participants are encouraged to sign up again.)

For instance, I need some instructors who are willing to implement a single, team-based Justifying-an-Evaluation essay. If you participate in that part of the project, I'll bestow a $25 Borders gift card on you.

I am also looking, however, for brave souls willing to take on what amounts to an entire 1B class design. (The design includes at least three group writing assignments and three in-class group exercises. You may create your own, but I will supply ready-to-use examples, along with a sample syllabus, class schedule, and an offer of personal assistance should you need it.) If you participate in this more-intensive portion of the study, the remuneration bumps up to a $100 Borders gift card. 

If you are even tentatively interested in participating in any portion of my study, please feel free to contact me -- I will answer any questions you have and can supply more information upon request.

Thank you.

Gray Scott
