Michigan State University Sex Gender and Sexuality Project

Michigan State University Sex Gender and Sexuality Project

Throughout the semester students will take part in some kind of service learning project that relates to issues discussed in class. This will be a final project

1.Identify a social problem associated with gender;
2.Do something about it! (this could include anything from having a bra or
tampon/pad drive, getting people involved in something, making a documentary,etc.)
3.At the end of the semester, your group will submit a summary/reflection (this can be a paper, visual aid, etc.) that specifically addresses how your plan of action specifically relates to course material (you should cite and provide reference.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

As a reminder, you are expected to clearly INTEGRATE and CITE course material in your final project
