“You may write an essay about any subject related to POLS 2301 in order to receive extra credit. You may only turn in one extra credit assignment. 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 that student’s 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 five scholarly sources (ex. books, journal articles, news websites) will be required to receive full credit.  For more information about proper citation, please refer to http://www.paulhensel.org/teachcite.html. ” Need it done by 5/6/20.
