Summary
Highlights
The video starts with general positive feedback on the introduction, followed by crucial formatting reminders: including the last name and page number, a creative heading, and marking the final draft with the correct date (October 6th). The discussion moves to strengthening the thesis, particularly adding words to clarify the meaning of jury nullification.
The speaker advises against including the podcast's date in signal phrases and clarifies that the episode name, not 'Radio Lab,' should be in parenthetical citations. For Laura Creo's example, it's recommended to provide more evidence to show how jury nullification can lead to inconsistent and drastically different results. It's also noted that discussions of escape slaves should be in a separate paragraph if not directly related to the current topic.
The feedback highlights that the prohibition example is too brief for an extended discussion, suggesting alternative examples from the podcast such as the O.J. Simpson case, Rodney King case, or slavery. The speaker stresses the importance of using detailed cases from the podcast as evidence to build robust paragraphs, instead of relying on short quotes or individual ideas.
The current conclusion is deemed effective, but the speaker emphasizes the need to strengthen other paragraphs with more solid and detailed evidence. For the 'work cited' section, the instructor offers to provide step-by-step instructions via email for citing a podcast correctly.
