Requirements · Prospectus. Your prospectus (50-100 words) should be typed and handed in at the beginning of class on the proposal due date. It will receive comments rather than a grade, but if you do not send one, your paper will lose 5 points (about ½) grade. · Paper version and electronic version. In addition to turning in a paper version, you should e-mail me (campbelld@wsu.edu) your Word or .rtf file of the document. The paper will not be considered complete and it will not be graded until the electronic version is received. Paper. The paper should be 7-9 typed, double-spaced pages long (about 2,500-3200 words). Use a standard (11-12 point) font and be sure to number each page. Staple the pages together. Do not use paper clips or a plastic report cover. As before, sending me an e-version is mandatory; turning in a paper copy is optional. Paper 2 Presentations Length: About 5 minutes for the presentation. (No additional written work must be turned in.) As part of your Paper 2 assignment, you'll be presenting your original research to the class during one of the presentation days at the end of the semester. You may also choose to present your research on a topic unrelated to Paper 2, but most people will probably want to combine the presentation with their Paper 2 research. Since this is a brief, creative presentation, you should feel free to should feel free to bring in film or music clips, make a film or film trailer of your own, use PowerPoint or pictures, ask students questions, and otherwise make your presentation lively and informative for the class. The presentation will count 5% toward your Paper 2 grade: that is, you'll receive a grade for Paper 2 (25%) and a grade for the presentation (5%) to make up the 30% of your grade that Paper 2 represents. Your own topic. You’re welcome to choose your own topic, but you need to check it with me first. |
