Week Summary Assignment Sheet

General Points

1. You are required to write 4 summaries this semester.

2. Each summary is due the Monday of the following week by 11:59 pm. See syllabus for late and make up work policies.

3. Turn your summaries in to Isidore.udayton.edu under the appropriate assignment tab.

Format

1. Use MS Word to save your assignment, following the conventions outlined here:

a. Save the file as yourlastname_theweek

i. Here’s an example with my name and this week: james_week1

2. Use Times New Roman 12 pt font throughout.

a. Use bold to distinguish section headers.

3. Use double spacing between lines and paragraphs.

a. Do not use an extra return between lines and paragraphs. If your MS Word does this automatically, you must correct it.

4. Use 1-inch margins all around.

5. Documents submitted that do not follow this format will be marked down.

Guidelines

1. You are to summarize all of the readings for the week

a. You should try to present as accurate a report on the goings on in class as you can

b. Be selective and thoughtful in your summary.

2. Your summary must include the following parts. Use bold to demarcate the sections:

i. Key Terms/Issues Listed and Defined

1. Make a bulleted or numbered list at the beginning of the document of key terms you found during your reading and their definitions. You should write definitions in your own words and cite where you found them in the text.

2. YOU MAY NOT USE OUTSIDE SOURCES TO DEFINE YOUR TERMS (or for any other part of these summaries). That means, no dictionaries, no Wikipedia, no online help.

ii. Texts

1. Write at least one paragraph summarizing the main point and important arguments, issues and examples raised in each text. (A paragraph per text!)

iii. Unifying Theme of the Week

1. For each week, identify and summarize what you think is the unifying theme of the week. What did the authors have in common? Disagree about? What questions do you have about the ideas in the text?

Here’s the rubric I will use to grade your summaries:
