Write Up of the Presentation

          Grading of the write up: 10% of total grade.   The five-to-seven page write-up of your presentation need not be treated as an elaborate project.   You do not need to structure it as a formal paper, and it does not require a thesis more sophisticated than the one that served as the focal point of your presentation.   However, it should include the main points you covered in your oral presentation.

          Using MLA guidelines, you make certain that your write-up includes a "Works Cited" at the end.   Quoted material should be cited in the body of the text.   Grammatical rules apply to this assignment as they would to a term paper.   In other words, be attentive.   Hastily written papers--papers that have not been proofread, contain careless errors and lapses in logic or continuity, and lack focus, will not be graded favorably.

          Write ups are due approximately one week after you have given the presentation.   If you need more time, please inform me by the day it is due, and give me an alternative date for submitting it.
