Winter Assignments, Week Seven

 

There will be no class meeting on Monday 18th of February. There will be lecture and seminar on the 21st of February. The topic of the lecture will be Suicide.

For this week's work: The three-part assignment is due on Thursday 21st February. First, read Violence by Gilligan, taking careful notes. Second, develop a pre-seminar paper due on the 21st in seminar. The third part of the assignment is to submit a book review (also due in seminar on Thursday). An outline of suggestions on how to write a book review was distributed to the class today (Thursday 2/14). If you do not have a copy of the handout, ask your buddy.

In preparation for the final project, on Thursday at 11 am: Give your seminar leader a piece of paper with your name and a list of your research sources for your presentation and paper. Attach a copy of the first page of at least three sources – one primary, one secondary, one tertiary. (Attach a copy of the first page of the relevant chapter in a textbook or encyclopedia article.) These pages will not be returned. Sources must include one peer-reviewed journal article, one review article, and one book or encyclopedia reference. List the names of the databases that you used in your search (e.g. EBSCO, Proquest, etc.) The internet may be used only as a tool to get to the academic sources. List the names of the other two students from our program who will review your paper.

During Weeks 7 & 8: Write your paper of at least 1200 words. Have your two peers review it (and sign their names to your draft). Include word count on the first page with your name and date of that draft. Don’t count your bibliography in the Word Count.
