The Assignment: Students submit ONE 5 page paper, double-spaced. All papers should be in Times New Roman 12pt, with standard default margins.
The Topic: Students will watch the documentary Consuming Kids. They will address the following issues: Do you think that the marketing to children is a social problem? Why? What must be done about it, if anything? Use examples and a detailed argument.
Submission: Students will submit all papers electronically via Blackboard which will automatically submit to TurnItIn (without need of a password)
-On Blackboard: Go to Handouts, choose Paper, then submit as an attached file.
Feedback: A link to your marked grading rubric with comments will appear in the Paper section once your mark has been released. It will be in the bottom, right-hand side, and will be a file with your name on it. There will also be comments made directly on your paper
Late Assignments: 2 points out of the total of 30 will be deducted for each day that an assignment is late. No exceptions other than for SERIOUS and DOCUMENTED reasons. (Doctors notes, notes from funeral home directors etc. MUST be provided for an exemption to be considered). This means that is may be simpler for you to just decide to do a later topic than provide an excuse for missing a due date. No papers will be accepted if they are over seven days late, unless substantiated with medical or other documentation.
