Sociology Reading and listening response<\/p>\n
There’re total of 3 things you need to do. Read the reading material and listen to the two podcasts. I will show you the links of the two podcasts and send you the pdf of the reading. The reading response has to be separated into 2 parts: First paragraph mainly summarize the reading and 2 podcasts, then write the conclusion for each one of them to prove you have done all 3 of them. For the second paragraph, use the reading to talk about your own thoughts of it. What’s your own perspective of the author’s idea? Do you agree? Or how does that influence you? You can write this in “critical thinking” way.<\/p>\n
PS: The two podcasts are pretty long, it’s hard to copy each word they said. Try to listen and write down as much as you can. Focus on the reading part more.<\/p>\n
First podcast: https:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/2016\/05\/26\/world\/uncertain-hour\/s01-3-your-state-welfare<\/p>\n
Second podcast: https:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/2016\/06\/08\/wealth-poverty\/uncertain-hour\/s1-04-everything-kitchen-sink<\/p>\n
What goes in a reading response?
\n\uf0b7 A reading response is a blend of summary and critique
\no In the first paragraph, you should, in your own words, summarize the main
\nargument of all of the reading(s) for the entire week.
\no In the second paragraph, you should critically evaluate one or more of the
\nreadings for that week.
\n\uf0a7 You can do this by critiquing the author\u2019s methodology or analysis or by
\ncomparing and contrasting across different readings (within or across
\nweeks).
\n\uf0a7 Note that in this second paragraph, you may choose to concentrate your
\ncritique on a single reading or a subset of readings if you like.
\no Make sure you give equal space to summary and critique.
\n\uf0a7 In other words, roughly 50% of the response should be summary; the other
\n50% should be critique\/evaluation.
\nHow should it be formatted?
\n\uf0b7 The reading responses should be 1 page long.
\no Students may use double, 1.5 or single spacing. We recommend 1.5 or single
\nspacing.
\n\uf0b7 Please use 1 inch margins, and 12 point, Times New Roman font (or its equivalent).
\nWhen are they due? And how do I submit them?
\n\uf0b7 The reading responses for a given week are due on Tuesday by 2pm.
\no Reading responses are due before we cover the material in class
\no For example, the reading response for week 2 should be based on the readings for
\nweek 2, and is due at the beginning of week 2 before we meet for class (i.e.
\nAugust 28, by 2pm).
\n\uf0b7 Submit all reading responses to the class bCourses page by 2pm. IN ADDITION, please
\nsubmit a hardcopy of the response in class on Tuesday.
\n\uf0b7 Note that there are no reading responses for weeks 1, 8, or 14.
\nHow will they be graded?
\n\uf0b7 Reading responses will be graded using a check system. In the comments section, you
\nwill see either a \u201ccheck,\u201d a \u201ccheck minus,\u201d or a \u201ccheck plus.\u201d
\no A check plus corresponds roughly to an A; a check corresponds roughly to a B
\nand a check minus corresponds roughly to a C.
\no In those rare cases where we detect plagiarism or the directions were not
\nfollowed, students may receive a \u201c0\u201d or no credit.
\n\uf0b7 Thirty-percent of your final course grade will be based on your average (mean) grade on
\n5 weekly reading responses.
\no You may, if you want, submit more than 5 weekly reading responses. In that case,
\nthe average grade will be calculated using only the 5 highest scores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
