All of the assignments should follow the conventional rules of papers submitted at Emily Carr. This includes double spaced pages, references and clear attribution and footnoting of quotes. Additional information will be available from your Tutors. Keep in mind that we will not accept papers that are handwritten. All papers have to be typed.
Remember, one of the most important parts of writing good papers comes from the passion that you have for the ideas. If you end up writing a paper that is "just" a paper for the course, then it will sound and read like it is "just" an essay for the course.
On the other hand, good ideas breed and provoke good writing. We encourage you to get in contact with us if you have any problems and to feel that what you do for this course will really help you in all of the work that you are doing at Emily Carr.
Some Quotes:
"What is feminist research and how can it be applied in the world and in the workplace? How can the use of feminist research, both qualitative and quantitative, strengthen women’s power when they apply such knowledge to increase their intelligent interactions with the environments wherein they live and work? How do women integrate into institutions and what are the results of such integration? What is the discourse of gender integration? How does gender theory become gender application?" (Prof. Carol Ellis, Claremont Graduate University)
"Choose a topic that you’ll get something out of. Your time is too valuable to do things that are not worth your while. If, for example, you are already clear about your position on a particular issue and have already thought through the arguments on both sides, you will probably learn more by doing a paper on some other issue that you are still perplexed or uncertain about." (Lawrence Hinman in "Ethics, A Pluralistic Approach to Moral Theory," Harcourt, Brace, 1998)
