Assignment #5 comments

BEFORE YOU READ SPECIFIC COMMENTS
I focus my comments on the negative because, in general, 90% of what you do is very good. It is more productive to emphasize the other 10%. These comments are meant to be demonstrative of things that can be improved on in the paper. They are not meant to be comprehensive.

GENERAL COMMENTS 
Intros and transitions – GET TO THE POINT!!!!! Don’t screw around. Tell me what you are going to tell me and cut out everything else. You should only reference the title of an article or book if that book or article is well known. Otherwise, just use the authors’ names. Titles are irrelevant.

 Contraception - The Cheetah Girls (which, I hear, is a movie)


Marriage


Fertility


Divorce 


Roles in the family


Cohabitation


 Teen Fertility

Assignment #6 (Due April 27th)

The goal of assignment #6 is to turn your several summaries into a single class paper. That means:

- Text (Body)
       - Main text body should be 12 pt Times New Roman, 1.5 spacing, 1/4 indent on first line. Block quotes are single spaced and 1/2 in. indent. 
       - Add appropriate headers and subheaders: Main headers are bold, 14 point font and centered, subheaders are bold, 12 point font, subsubheaders are 12 point font, italics.
       - Add in-text citation where it is missing: (Author Year) or (Author Year: Pg#) or Author (Year) or Author (Year: Pg#)
       - Check grammar, flow, etc.
       - Add executive summary at the beginning, essentially a bullet point list of the main points from the paper, about three or four from each original paper.

 - References
       - Combine all citations in a single reference section at the end of the paper. 
       - Alphabetical order
       - APA style (see Link)
       - Double check match between in-text citations and references

Your responsibility:
Every student will spend two hours working on this. Keep of list of the changes you make (not the specific changes, but the general kind of changes) and when you worked on it. You will turn this in. I will compare this against the google docs record.
