(you’re entitled to two of these)

Make up papers should be no less than 3 pages, double-spaced (11 or 12 pt font) in length. This is how to structure them:

1. What for you were the most important pointsthat you took from the readings, discussion and lecture material for the week? What is the ‘big picture?’ You should touch on each reading assignment, discuss any common threads between them, or differences. I want to see what you gleaned from readings and the week’s topic, gauge your depth of understanding. I’m not looking for book reports—do some summary, but your paper should be no more than 1/3 summary (and no less than 2/3 analysis).
2. Demonstrate you read the discussion threads. Demonstrate you went through the threads, and show what you learned. How did the conversation go? Keep in mind—take a stand, but don’t make points if you’re not going to support them with evidence or logic. And cite your sources.
3. Standards. This is making up for your having missed the discussion boards, so I expect the same amount of intellectual effort to go into the make-up. Good writing, use of complete sentences, paragraphs to change ideas, citing of authors’ works at the end. Submit it in Canvas (Wk 11 module).

Points for making up discussions will show up in Canvas for the week you’re making up, so be sure to specify which week, and that you respond to any and all prompts (threads) for the week.
