The final grade on that paper will be an average of the two grades it received. The second essay should explore a case of ethnic or nationalist conflict, including sources and causes, patterns of conflict, efforts to resolve it and their success, current situation, and prospects for the future. One case must be revised and submitted in order to fulfill college requirements for writing certification. As a seminar, lecture will be kept to a very minimum. Students must attend class regularly and participate to do well in the course.
All work is, of course, to be the student's own.
Student writing should be theirs, not copied or paraphrased from another source. All sources must be cited. Please use MLA for all material. Be particularly careful regarding paraphrased material. Even properly cited, it is not your work and while not plagiarism, since it is not your independent academic work, it will receive very little credit.
