Each Thought Paper worths 5% of final grades. Thought Papers focus on your interpretation of an assigned reading(s) and the class discussion of the reading(s) for the week.
Format: One page minimum, but no more than 2-pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12-point type with standard margins.
Thought Papers are due via Blackboard by midnight on the Friday following the Monday and Wednesday class sessions when the selected reading was assigned and discussed in class.
Please attach your document in a format of MS word or PDF file to the Blackboard.
Criteria:
Grading is based on your ability to interpret and/or advance the assigned material in some way (not your ability to repeat it). Consider addressing how communication, advertising or public relations professionals can or are currently putting the topic to use; how a topic we read about or discussed in one country or culture could or is being adapted to another; your insights into how or why the topic is valuable to those professionals; other industry relevant insights or perspectives you can bring to the topic; your perspective on something mentioned in class discussion and how you would expand on the topic in a relevant way or bring new insight to it (additional research is not mandatory but, depending on the topic and approach you choose, some brief research may be needed).
Superficial Thought Papers that simply duplicate the readings or class discussion receive a grade of F.
