Final Paper

The final paper for this course can be, like the two short papers assigned, about any particular aspect of class materials, lectures, discussions, films, and readings. I am alway happy to talk with you about possible topics if you’re having a hard time coming up with one on your own.

With your final paper, you need to submit a reflection essay. In this essay, I’d like you to reflect on the process of coming up with this paper topic, figuring out the tone, and the writing process. What worked? What was hard? What surprised you? How do you approach this assignment? How did your thinking change over the course of writing the paper?

The reflection essay -- the depth and thoughtfulness of your reflection -- will contribute half the grade of the final paper.
