Soc 623, Final Paper
Presentations
Spring 2003
All papers are due in class
May 14th. Paper
presentations are worth 30% of your grade and assessed by your peers.
Presentations should be no
longer than 10 minutes – you will be timed and should offer classmates the
opportunity to ask questions. Humor and
energy are always welcome as well.
Feel free to use
technology in the classroom, but please discuss your plans to do so first
with me to assure they are viable and plan to be in at 6:45 the day of your
presentation (handouts, poster boards also work fine).
Topics you should cover: (1) area researched, and rationale for doing so; (2)
theoretical framework that guided your inquiry; (3) hypotheses or ideas on
topic if you had any; (4) social science method selected – archival, interview,
fieldwork – and the process of your research; (5) what you found; (6) findings
given your theoretical framework; (7) did your findings support you hypotheses
or ideas and the literature in the area; and (8) a concluding statement (this
can be about how much you loved the course, how enlightening it was etc.).
Note: if you are presenting interview or other
person-related information please use pseudonyms and keep in mind the
confidentiality of those who so generously shared their time to help you out
with this project.
