New Guidelines

April 20, 2009

There will not be any class presentations of the articles. Each student is responsible only for reading and writing about the two peer-reviewed academic articles selected.  The entire grade will be based on this individual work. The deadline for the assignment has been moved up; it is now Thursday April 30 at 8 AM.

Please submit all of your work electronically, with attachments to one e-mail (subject line: Perspectives Project plus your fall name). The following elements are required.

Please submit the following, all as attachments to a single e-mail:

1.       Prepare an analysis for each article using the form provide on the course website under Article Analysis Form

2.       Write a paper of two to four pages, typed and double-spaced in a 12 point font, in which you discuss how each of the articles you analyzed could be useful to people considering the question assigned to your group.  The most important criteria the professor will employ in evaluating your paper are (a) the degree to which you mastered the articles, (b) your effectiveness in relating the content of the articles to the controversial issue, and (c) the professionalism of your writing.

3.       Bring copies of both articles to class no later than Wednesday April 29, or bring them to the professor’s office prior to that.   Write your full name neatly at the top of the page on each article.  Or, if you have an electronic copy of one or more articles, you may e-mail the article(s) along with the rest of the assignment.  Only full-text is acceptable – do not send a link!
