New Guidelines for 180 Stand Paper

Because of time constraints we will not anymore have an oral presentation for the  Stand Paper. In effect the Stand Paper and Presentation component of the course is now changed to Stand Paper only.  However the class will  retain its grade equivalent, that is 25% of the final grade.

The following are the guideline for the Stand Paper;

1. The group outline needs to be approved on or before September 24, 2009 Thursday.

2. The individual outline needs to be approved on or before October 2, 2009  Friday. Each group member should bring a copy of the approved group outline as reference for consultation.

3. The old Stage Three Guidelines for the Stand Paper and Presentation applies to the individual Stand Paper, which are;

“”" The   paper   should follow the following instructions;

1.   only 8 to 10 pages.

2.    must use not less than 15   sources,   with 13 books and journal sources

and  only two online sources.

3.     be submitted on or before the due date.

4.     follow the APSA style guide.”"”"”"

4. The individual Stand Paper should be submitted in a short bond paper, in Times New Roman size 12 font. Margin should be one inch for all sides. Securely stapled, without a folder.

5. The soft copy of the final paper is to be submitted to this address (brian.c.ventura@gmail.com) only, and labeled as -surname Pol. Sci. 180 -Short title of the paper.  Each Student should submit two versions of the soft copy, a word file and a PDF file. The due date for soft copy submission is on October 14, 2009. Failed attachment and other technical glitches will not be accepted as an excuse for non-submission. Those who cannot submit the soft copy need not bother to submit a hard copy the next day.

6. The hard copy is due on October 15, 2009, on of before 11: 50 in the morning, CAS time, on top of my desk at the Social Sciences Faculty room. A copy of the approved group and individual outline must be included with the final paper.

Do not hesitate to see your instructor for consultation and clarification if there is anything unclear with the guidelines.
