Politic

You will write a 15 page research design on a topic relating in some way to gender in American
Politics. Papers are due in class on December 4. Late papers will not be accepted except under
extraordinary circumstances. I do not accept papers emailed to me. They must be turned in during
the class period.
You will turn in a 5 page prospectus at the mid-term, due October 13th in class.
You will also be required to present your research to your colleagues during the last two class
sessions. You should prepare a 10 minute presentation outlining your theory, expectations, and
analysis.
As this is an upper division/graduate seminar, I expect work of the highest caliber. Writing is
a process, therefore it can not be accomplished in the nal week before the assignment is due. I
have scheduled the week of November 10th for paper meetings. Each student will bring in a full
rough draft that we will go over together. You should also plan on meeting with me earlier in the
semester to discuss a paper topic.
