In your analysis, be sure to engage with, provide specific examples from, and cite** all of the assigned materials

In your analysis, be sure to engage with, provide specific examples from, and cite** all of the assigned materials from this week (this includes lectures, readings, videos, podcasts, etc.) to illustrate your points. Remember, these writing assignments are an opportunity for you to:

·         Demonstrate you understand the sociological concepts and perspectives examined this week;

·         Demonstrate an ability to synthesize information from multiple sources to make your claims; and,

·         Demonstrate an ability to use empirical evidence (specific examples) to support your claims.

Use the grading criteria to guide you as you write, and as always, please feel free to attend the optional discussion sections and/or sign up for office hours to get additional assistance.

** Please use the ASA Citation Style handout to cite your sources as you write (available in the “Guidelines and Grading Criteria for Writing Assignments” tab in the “Start Here” module). See page 4 of the handout for examples on in-text citations. You are not required to submit a bibliography, unless you cite material from outside sources. Please note, though, that any outside sources should be used sparingly; your analysis should focus primarily on the assigned materials.
