| Give each paper a title. | Each paper must have a title and must include your name and e-mail address on the first page. Please staple. Don't use any fancy bindings. | |
| Include proper citations. | Your paper must include proper citations. You may use either Chicago style citations (footnotes or endnotes) or APA (in line citations), both of which are found in Lipson's Doing Honest Work in College. | |
| Include specific page references. | Please give specific page references when you quote the assigned authors or discuss their analysis. | |
| Do not use secondary works. | This course is based on original works by Smith, Marx, Durkheim, and Mauss. You do not need to read any secondary works, that is, works written by others about Smith, Marx, Durkheim, or Mauss. Why do we focus on primary works and exclude commentaries by other authors? Because we want to concentrate on reading these giants of social thought, consider their ideas in some depth, and encourage your own critical evaluation of their ideas. | |
| Do your own work. No Plagiarism. | Each paper must be your own original work. You know the basic principles: When you say you did the work, you really did it; when you rely on the work of others, give them full credit; and when you present materials, do so fairly and accurately. | |
| Turn in your papers on time. | Papers are due at Professor Lipson's office, Pick 418b. You may not turn in papers late unless you have prior written permission. | |
