Choose a film with a topic that you believe might be an interesting one to discuss sociologically. By doing so, you will find the assignment a much easier and interesting task to accomplish. It may help if you take notes during your viewing of the film you have selected. The film list is varied and I am certain one will pique your interest. All films are on reserve in the Learning Resources room on the third floor of Buley Library.How your paper will be graded: Content/thoroughness (50%): This category constitutes half of your grade for the assignment. Did you present a paper that covered complex issues or was your analysis simplistic? Did you use a variety of articles, concepts or issues? How much effort does it appear you put into your paper?Organization and clarity (25%): This category constitutes one-fourth of your assignment grade. Did you say what you meant to say? Were your ideas clear so that the casual reader knows the point of your paper? How clearly do your ideas come through? How well organized were your thoughts? Style/professionalism (25%): This category constitutes one-fourth of your assignment grade. Were you objective (as a sociologist should be)? Did you employ the "sociological imagination" during your analysis? When taking a position, did you support your position with "facts" or "feelings"? Did you cite your sources in your paper? Did you cite your sources appropriately in the body of your paper and in your bibliography? ER -
