WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT GUIDELINES

2 points for each assignment.  These assignments make up 20% of your grade

Between Weeks 2 and 11, you will answer the questions I have posed about the readings. These questions are posted on the course outline.

Criteria for grading
:
  1. You must show that you have covered all readings.  Refer to the readings by the authors' last name.  You can cite the author's last name in parenthesis. Alternatively you may incorporate the authors in the sentence (eg. "Dickinson and Schaffer argue that...," or "According to Dickinson and Schaffer," or "Glenn, Ehrenreich, and Chang all show ...").
  2. Unless you are asked to make list, the assignment must be written in full sentences and grammatically correct .  Write clearly and concisely.  Proof and spell check before printing.
  3. Avoid using direct quotes, especially when you're defining terms.  Try to express yourself in your own words.  Be sure that your paraphrasing is not too close to the original text.
