Library Reserve

the library to put on reserve for SOC/CJS 321 this semester. If the
library says something is not on reserve, check here
first to see if I requested that it be put on reserve. If I didn't, please let me know. If I did, please ask the
librarian to look again. |
Journal Assignment: This is a
description of the journal assignment in SOC/CJS 321 this semester. Please
read this carefully so you know what is required. Please make special note of
the due dates since late journal assignments will not be
accepted. There is also a rubric that guides the evaluation
of your journal entries. That rubric provides a short hand method by which
the instructor will make comments on your journals. |

The major assignment this semester is a "case presentation." That
assignment is described in detail here. The rubric indicating the standards by which the
submitted case material will be evaluated is located
here. |

Format: This is a description
of the policies with regard to citations (including when to cite and how to

printing this out and reading it carefully before you write and submit your brief for the case presentation. Improperly cited
assignments will be returned to the student for
correction with a 20% grade penalty. |

like. There is a sign-up sheet on his office door but you can look at
