Assignment Instructions(I will attach the readings,I attached two of them but there is one more u can find it online,Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (MIT version)This is the name of the reading)

The Week 3 Content Analysis assignment is designed to build understanding of course content by asking you to make connections between readings, lectures, and course themes.

In your Content Analysis (CA), only use evidence from assigned readings, lectures, and sections in your responses. Include in-text citations for the sources used, whether videos, readings, weekly notes, etc. Avoid including lengthy quotes. Instead, paraphrase and explain the relevance and significance of the selected passages or video segments in your own words as much as possible. When paraphrasing or summarizing a source, also cite it with an in-text citation. For briefer quotations, use quotation marks when citing words that are not your own. For in-text citations, give the author’s name and the page number, if there is one. You do not need a Works Cited page because you only use course resources.

Word count: 1000 (Max)

To reference a lecture, please include the lecture number and date. Example: (Lecture 8)

· To reference an assigned reading, please include the author and page number: Example: (La Mattrie, 7).

· Minimum of 4 references, including at least one from the lectures. Please note that the minimum of 4 references are for BOTH questions (in total). Also, note that your four references should be from 4 different sources. So, you should avoid quoting different parts of the same reference (a lecture or an assigned reading) to have it count.

· Make sure you properly quote your sources.

· You MUST submit by the deadline, no exceptions.

Due: Tuesday 8/20/24 by 11:59 PM
