IOCC 201 paper

This is not new, nothing has changed.  Just a reminder.

IOCC 201

Writing Assignment

 You must write one (1)  paper in this course.

 Your paper must be 5-7 pages long (1250-1750 words), and my “common sense” rule applies.

 Late papers (w/o proper documentation) will be reduced by 10% for each day that it is late.  Example:  Class starts at 9:30, after 9:30 +/- a few minutes it is late.  Each calendar day is a reduction.

 

Topic:
Select an issue of importance in your major field of study and provide illumination from one of our authors or text.

 Example:  As a high school teacher how should I handle cases of plagiarism in my History Research class?  Answer:  Use Aristotle’s distinction between voluntary, in-voluntary and non-voluntary actions.

 You may work with any assigned author (original source material) or text in our course.

 

N.B. You must work on a text we read, and if you work from the Bible it must be from a book of the Bible that was ASSIGNED IN CLASS.

 

You must send an electronic version of the paper to the following email address:  iocc201@mac.edu

 Citations are ruled by the your Rhetoric 102 course or similar course at your transfer college.  The CLE can help with this.  The WSRP is a outstanding model for writing this paper.

Improper citations or lack of citations will be charged a 5 point penalty for each offense at a minimum and at a maximum will be considered plagiarism and I will file a formal complaint with the Academic Standards Committee and the Dean of the College.

 An excellent webpage for Bible citations:  http://hbl.gcc.edu/citingBIBLE.htm

 Many, many, IOCC 201 students do not cite the Bible and suffer dearly from this oversight.  The Bible is a book that deserves equal respect among all the great works of the Western tradition.

Your paper is due on the last day of class!

Your final draft must be handed in as a hardcopy.
