The second paper will require you to research a current policy issue involving gender and then draft a newspaper editorial on the topic. The final paper will require you to think about the meaning of equality and gender in current political life. All written work is covered by the Davidson Honor Code. Late papers will be penalized at the rate of three points per day. It is up to you to decide whether or not you can make the paper at least four points better by waiting one day.
All papers are due at the beginning of the class hour on the day announced.
In writing papers, you are expected to follow all rules of standard English and to produce a product of which a literate person would be proud. Buy a dictionary and use it. Use computer programs to check your spelling. Papers should be typed, have a cover sheet, and be held together firmly with some marvel of modern technology. Textual footnotes are permitted, but should be used judiciously.
