Students may complete one extra credit assignment. Extra credit will add 0-4 points to your final course grade (final percent grade) depending on how well you complete the assignment. I will be grading primarily for your knowledge/understanding of the article and knowledge/understanding of class topics and materials.

1. Choose 1 article from the articles posted on Pilot in the folder “Extra Credit Articles”. 


2. Write a 2-4 page (or more if you really wish, but not too much longer) discussion of the ways in which the article you have chosen specifically relates to topics discussed and reading completed in this class. This is NOT just an article summary. Your paper needs to focus on how the topic/material in the article relates to material we have covered in class (makes a similar argument, makes a different argument, updates information, changes your perspective, etc.) 


3. Format: 2-4 pages, double-spaced, 12 pt font, normal margins, page numbers, no cover page, no elaborate heading – just your name in the top right corner 


4. Papers must include a bibliographic reference for your article at the beginning of the first page of your paper and include works cited if you cite any materials besides that article (including course reserves and textbook). I have to be able to look up the materials you have used to write your paper – and I will look them up.
