Every college student needs to understand and be able to use the MLA format system. MLA stands for Modern Language Association and represents a system for doing research papers– a set of rules that have been established for how an academic paper should look. For this assignment, you will be asked to complete an MLA research works cited page, placing each author in their alphabetical place and citing the research they did. Remember, the cookie jar rule. The cookie (smaller research item) goes in quotation marks, while the cookie jar (the journal or book) is placed in italics. Think in terms of bigger and smaller. If your research is smaller (a chapter from a book) it goes in quotation marks while the book itself (the cookie jar) goes in italics. A newspaper is the cookie jar. It goes in italics. The article in the newspaper is a cookie and goes in quotation marks. Please go to Files to find the list of authors for whom you must find research.

As a student of sociology, it is essential to be able to conduct a content analysis and explain its purpose in social research. This assignment will help you learn this concept. Cite two scholarly sources, including the textbook, to answer the following prompts. Use the following situation to answer the prompts that follow: A sociology student has decided to analyze how PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) has been described and explained in popular media (magazines, newspapers, online news blogs) and literature (novels, poetry, short stories).

Read one or more of the blog posts on Susan Sered’s blog http://susan.sered.name/blog/category/cant-catch-a-break/ that follows up with many of the Boston women over the years. The point of this would be for you to see how any of the Boston women from the book (Can’t Catch a Break) are doing and to reflect on that. You can also read Sered’s posts on other topics that are related to the Boston women and react to that if you want. Just connect the blog posts(s) to the text how you see fit and offer some of your own reflections.

Expectations:
– 750-word reflection
•When you quote or paraphrase (whether from a film, a talk, or a reading), just use MLA parenthetical citations. Also, make sure to include a “Works Cited” page at the end. Introduce the quotation in your own words, then give the quotation with the proper quotation marks, and then include a parenthetical citation after the closing quotation marks. Include the period after the closing parenthesis of the citation.
•Avoid plagiarism. Keep in mind that plagiarism is a much broader category than you might think. In particular, if you are attempting to explain an idea of somebody’s in your own words, you need to use quotation marks and offer a parenthetical citation if you have three or more words that are the same from the source you’re discussing. You also need a citation if you are paraphrasing (i.e., using but not directly quoting) somebody else’s idea. You also need a parenthetical citation (and perhaps also quotation marks) if you use even one word from the source that is not an integral part of your own vocabulary already.
•Make sure to demonstrate thoughtfulness and precision.

For this assignment, you will need to develop a short survey using the best practices covered. If your research proposal includes survey administration for your data collection method and you have not found a survey/questionnaire that has been previously developed and validated by researchers in the field, then you are encouraged to develop a survey that will measure your dependent variable (you will need to include this in the appendix of your research proposal). If your data collection method does not include a survey, then you should select a topic for which you can develop a short survey. Create your survey.
Your survey should include the following elements:

Include both closed- and open-ended questions
10-15 questions (Demographic questions do not count toward the 10-15)
Be sure to include information about who you are intending to administer this survey to (this will be important for your classmate to know when reviewing your survey items).
Submit your survey plus two feedback templates: the one you filled out for a peer and the peer review you received.
