SIP Count
I. Definitions
SIP - Stands for "Senior Integration Paper/Project." Usually a twenty to forty page research paper, meant to be the capstone of your academic career at Covenant College. No SIP means no diploma. Given the gravity of the situation, seniors often put their SIPs off until the last possible moment.
Elissa - SIP deconstructor extraordinaire. Favorite question: "So... did you have a thesis in this?"
II. Statistics
Number of SIPs read this semester: 16
Most Oft-Represented Department: Tie. Psychology and Business.
Longest Straight Stint Reading a SIP: Consecutively, three hours. Cumulatively, still counting.
III. Evaluation
The Phrase That Strikes Fear: "I think it's just grammar stuff that needs to be fixed." Always a foreshadowing of worse things to come.
Newest Pet Peeve in Scholarly Papers: ending paragraphs with block quotes.
Most Underused Punctuation Mark: the semi-colon.
Most Ill-used Punctuation Mark: the semi-colon.
Biggest Lesson: never underestimate the organizational power of colored pens.
