POLS 2301 Extra Credit Writing Assignment

Spring 2017 Semester

You may write an essay about any subject related to POLS 2301 in order to receive extra credit.

If you are concerned about the relevance of your topic please discuss it with me before writing

your paper.

Explain your position on your topic by writing me a 5-7 page double-spaced paper (exclusive of

endnotes, footnotes, references, and title page). The maximum amount of extra credit you may

receive is five points on your final average; the percentage of this credit you earn will be

determined by your grade on the paper. An A+ (100) quality extra credit paper will earn a

student five points on his/her final average. A B- (80) quality extra credit paper will earn a

student four points, because four is 80% of five. Other grades will be calculated in a similar

fashion. Those who turn in plagiarized papers will receive no credit and be reported to the Dean

of Students.

You will be required to use Times New Roman 12 point font. You must include information

from outside sources; you need to cite them internally and provide a reference list. At least one

source per page will be required to receive full credit. For more information about proper

citation please refer to http://www.paulhensel.org/teachcite.html. The paper will be due on

December 8. Submit these papers to my Lamar University e-mail address

([email protected]). I will use the date on the e-mail to validate whether the paper was

received on time. Do not submit any assignments for this class through Blackboard e-mail.

Papers received after May 3 will not be graded.
