Instructions for Extra Credit, Sociology (G. Hayden, Instructor)

If you attend an event on MMC campuses or CMU campus, or have an epiphany while watching a movie or TV show (or listening to a song or seeing artwork), you can use that experience for extra credit. (NOTE you can also receive extra credit for registering to vote by showing me your voter’s registration card, or if you are unable to vote, you can write a brief two to three page paper on voting itself.) You MUST relate the event, movie, art, etc. to something we’ve talked about in class: inequality, intersectionality, Functionalism, Marxism, symbolic interactionism, etc.!!!!!!

The paper must be 2 to 4 pages in length, double spaced, using either Arial or Times Roman 12 point font. Please use APA formatting, so make sure you use the link to PURDUE OWL provided at the top of the Moodle shell with your attendance and the syllabus to become familiar with the writing style. The length of paper does NOT include a cover sheet or sources cited page.

Each submission for extra credit is worth 50 points; however, there is a catch: you must have all your four papers turned in to receive extra credit at the end of the semester! Don’t miss an assignment!

NOTE: DO NOT EMAIL ME any OF THE EXTRA CREDIT PAPERS! USE THE UPLOAD LINK FOR extra credit IN MOODLE. You can find it if you look on the left of your screen and click on “Assignments”
