Critical Thought (CT)
You will have 15 of these assignments throughout the semester. I will post them Monday
morning and you will have until Friday night at 11:59pm to turn them back in
electronically. They will cover the reading material for that week. These are worth 25
points per paper. Check the reading assignment calendar below for exact dates these
are
due. The papers will be 1300-1400 words in length, single-spaced, 12-point font, 1”
margins, no heading. I only want your name at the top and nothing else.
These papers will include your thoughts on the assigned reading. There is no
prompt. It is expected that the assignment will be well-edited, thoughtful, and written in
true essay format. Points will be deducted for short papers, poor grammar, bullet points,
and the like. The papers will be checked with turnitin.com, so do not collaborate with
others. Quotes from the book can be used, but should not be the majority of your paper
and should be marked as quotations so as not to plagiarize. The paper should not show
more than 10% match with other sources in Turnitin.com.
These papers can include: personal stories of experiences you have had related
to this section, information from the research you found in the books that sheds more
light on the topic, questions/arguments about the reading you want to bring to light,
thoughts on applications of the material to your own life, etc. This is your time to show
you thorough read the material and understand it.
