The fact that their grades depend on OUR articles, gives them incentive to work more with us and to try to edit our article more thoroughly. We get our editor caring and we also get help if anb when we need it

the Journalism II changes affect me in this class by making me realize that the work, articles and revisions that I accomplish, have to do with their, each of our section editors, grade as well.
Depending on what I do, it affects them. And what they do (revise my articles, communicate with me and stuff) will affect me.
We all have to work together to help one another because they will be graded on what we, journalism I students, do.

The changes that were made to the journalism 2 class affect me because now i have the task to work alot more diligently because now not only does my work depend on my grade but as well as someone else’s grade and we need to have the respect with one another to actually be considerate of the others grade and show interest in helping eachother by cooperating with one another

the journalism 2 students must work with us in editing and helping us to publish our articles but because of the fact that their grades rely on ours we should get good grades if they expect some in return

Because all editors will be graded on OUR revised work, it is very probable, that knowing how they’ve handled previous articles, our writing will not shine through completely. The information will, but not the writing.
Hopefully, this won’t happen to the extremes, and the change will result in a positive thing.

This new way of grading makes the journalism 2 dependable on the journalism 1 kids . We have to rely on others to get our work done.

They’re going to have to depend on us, also. So it’s going to be more pressure.

the Journalism II changes affect me in this class by pressuring me in a good way to become more responsible in turning in my work on time and doing it right.Because our work is now the journalism II students.

It affects me because now people depend on my work and now I have to work harder and more efficiently than before.

okay well if you totally ignore them and make them get horrible grades, FYE YOU WILL GET JUMPED!!! =)

The changes made to the Journalism II students affects us because they are now graded on OUR work and they are depending on us even more than before. They will be in more contact with us than before.

Journalism 2 students now depend on our work. What we turn in affects them. Though they are older and have been in the paper for probably 4 years, their fate (grades) lies in our hands, or they are leaning on our shoulders.
It is most likely as Amanda said that for they to get good grades they will change completely are articles.

The changes that you made to Journalism II students affect me because now I can have more communication. My writting would improve because hopefully now I will get more feedback!
