More specifically, this assignment asks you to conduct a careful visual analysis and critical interpretation of one relevant image from the list we give you, and present your findings in a short essay of 5 pages in length. In this paper, you should provide a careful visual analysis of the object, discussing its formal qualities. You will be assessed on the extent to which you provide a coherent, creative, and thorough visual analysis of your subject, and the degree to which you intelligently formulate a thesis supported by this analysis. In other words, you are expected to produce a formal, visual analysis and critical reflection of the object under consideration, which engages directly with the ideas presented in class, discussion section, and the readings. The paper is due the week of April 9. 4ZG Review #1: peer review. The first review will take place in your discussion section during the week of February 19. You will bring your paper to be reviewed in section by a fellow student. Each student will make comments on the clarity and originality of the paper, and make suggestions for improvement. You will revise your paper accordingly. If you fail to complete this part of the assignment, your final paper grade will drop by 1/3 of a letter grade (i.e., from B to B-). The next page of this syllabus offers evaluation criteria that you should use when commenting on your peers papers. These evaluations are to be turned in along with your second paper draft (see below).6tW%Review #2: graduate assistant review.&$The second draft will be reviewed by your graduate assistant, who will make further comments and hand them back the following week. This aspect of the project is designed to provide feedback to you on how to revise and improve your analytical writing skills. If you fail to turn in your draft in section during the week of March 7, your final paper grade will drop by 1/3 of a letter grade.!Review #3: Writing Center review.""After you re-write the paper according to your graduate assistant s suggestions, you will bring your paper to the campus Writing Center, which offers free tutoring services (http://www.siu.edu/~write/). Please note that the Writing Center is overbooked during the last two weeks of each semester. A note from the Writing Center, confirming your visit, will form an integral part of your grade, which will go down 1/3 of a letter grade if we do not receive the confirmation. Make sure you provide the tutor with my name as well as the name of your graduate assistant when you go to the Center.QQ /Please provide proper citation of any research.0.Footnotes, endnotes, or a Works Cited list should follow MLA or Chicago Manual of Style guidelines. Evidence of plagiarism  the unacknowledged borrowing of the content or ideas of any other person or institution s work in any way  will result in no credit for the assignment and may be reported to the university for disciplinary action. UUBasic elements of the essay Thesis: a general idea about a text or topic. It functions as the main idea or proposition being argued. Evidence: the reasons, facts, examples, or details that an essay refers to, quotes, or summarizes to support its thesis (formal traits). Your evidence must be persuasive. Structure: the sequence of an argument s main sections, which should follow a logical order. An essay s structure should be firm and clear, but not rigid or mechanical. It should have a direction or development; avoid simply restating your thesis over and over. Style: choices made at the word and sentence level that determine how a proposition is stated rather than what it states. You must adhere to the grammatical conventions of standard English. Style is also expressive of the writer s controlling intelligence and energetic interest in the subject (avoid clichs and generalizations).beb  FHRemember that your own creative and critical thinking is most desirable.t Have you asked a question that you set out to answer, or merely given a factual summary of information? Have you taken a position that you defend with an argument, or merely given an uncritical account of your findings? Have you posed a thesis, which you justify with evidence, or merely stated unsupported personal beliefs? HOWEVER: You may not use the first person.ut Structuring the argument RThe first paragraph of your paper may be the most important: it should introduce your subject matter and establish the direction of your interpretation clearly and forcefully. However, actually writing the introduction last is often a successful tactic. The paper should not start with a statement entitled "thesis": simply describe your topic, aims and sketch out your evidence. A strong, clearly identifiable line of argument or explanation is essential for your paper. Each paragraph should develop one stage, or part of a stage, of the argument, and each paragraph should follow in a smooth, logical sequence from the preceding one. Paragraphs cannot be only one or two sentences long, nor should they continue, uninterrupted, for one entire page. Pay attention to your transition sentences: make sure that your logic is obvious to the reader. The last paragraph is also critical and should never be a throwaway. It should convince the reader that you have carried out the program promised in the first. Your conclusion forms an integral part of your paper: it reiterates and clarifies your thesis. hSZ*qZz  Mechanics D Correct spelling and grammar usage are imperative for this paper. Papers with spelling mistakes will not receive a grade higher than a C. These will include confusions between  there and  their ,  throne and  thrown etc.  i.e., the mistakes that your spell-checker will not catch. Make sure that you read your finished papers aloud before turning them in. This technique assures that you catch most common mistakes: tenses confusion, subject-verb or subject-pronoun agreement, dangling modifiers, repetitions, parallelism problems, and simply awkward sentences. Make sure your paper is proofread, since it will be graded not only for content but also for presentation. B5j Mechanics (cont.)Correct form for citation is always important. Do not forget to include a Works Cited page, which will list the sources you consulted when you were writing your paper. However, this is NOT A RESEARCH PAPER. You may end up using only one source -- a museum label  or perhaps you may have consulted Stokstad (not recommended). You may not have any additional sources: this is a paper based on your critical observations. Make sure to use footnotes for references, if you have any (see above). Make sure to include the following on the front page: your name, the name of the class, the professor's and the GA s names, and the date on which you submitted the essay. Don t forget to title your paper Please use Times New Roman font 12 for your double-spaced paper, one-inch left-justified margins, and do not forget to number your pages. Larger font and larger margins will not fool anyone! ZZZJ a - 8*I   Plagiarism Cite your sources properly. Give credit so readers can tell where you got your information. Plagiarism is taking credit for the work, research, or writing of another; it is not only an academic offense, but also a form of intellectual theft. In your paper you will use the work of others and it is essential that you do so properly and legitimately, giving authors appropriate credit. Remember, too, that the professor is usually familiar with any source you might use. Most of the information cited in the paper should be paraphrased (with a reference), but on occasion if you use the author's exact words they must be enclosed in quotation marks, as well as followed by a reference. Direct use of an author's words without quotation marks is plagiarism in its most common form, but the simple appropriation of someone s ideas also constitutes a case of plagiarism  that is, if you haven t given this person (a book author, your classmate, your instructor, etc) the proper credit. Most plagiarism occurs as a result of ignorance of the rules, or because students are in too much of a hurry to take proper reading notes or to finish their papers. Don t make this mistake! If you have questions on how to cite a source properly, ask your instructor or consult The Chicago Manual of Style. You will certainly  and at the very least  fail the class if we catch you plagiarizing. Plagiarism is a very serious offense, and discipline may involve suspension or dismissal from the university.\ ZZ @IcZoLate papers will be graded down by 1/3 of a letter grade each day they are late.
