Due date:  Monday March 25 -- BRING 2 COPIES TO CLASS
Length:  3-5 pages double-spaced
Topic:  Your choice!  Reaction paper to any material covered Feb. 13 - March 6

The purpose of this paper is for you to describe your reactions to an issue raised in the readings or in class, and to integrate references to readings and in-class material in your discussion.  Describe and explain one or more of YOUR REACTIONS to the material.  You will probably find this assignment most appealing if you choose a topic that either intrigued you a lot or troubled you.  BE SURE TO GIVE YOUR OWN CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE MATERIAL -- DO NOT MERELY SUMMARIZE THE IDEAS PRESENTED IN THE READINGS OR IN CLASS.

You can say anything you want, as long as you follow the guidelines.

Guidelines:
1. In the paper, demonstrate that you have thought independently and creatively about the readings, class discussions, and other material related to the topic you've chosen.  If you're having trouble getting started, here's a couple examples: a) If several points of view were presented on the issue, which do you find most/least favorable?  Why?  or, b) Do you agree or disagree with the points made in the readings/lectures? Why?

2. Make one or more specific references to assigned readings or class discussion.

3. As with paper #1, the paper should be typed and double-spaced with 1-inch margins.  Correct spelling and grammar is expected.

4. Also as with paper #1, you must use citations correctly!  This means using quotes correctly when using text word-for-word, citing your source when paraphrasing someone else's idea, and in either case, providing the author's name, year published, and if a quote, the page number.  You can use any citation style (ASA, APA, MLA), as long as you are consistent.  See the assignment for Paper #1 for examples of acceptable ways to cite sources.
