Please cite and reference only the sources of material from this class – that means both the text and the material in modules. If you would like to research material beyond the class, please reach out to me first. Work submitted with outside sources without clearance will return a grade of zero. Why this rule? Approximately 80% of students are now using AI to produce all or part of their work. This is an attempt to mitigate that. Important – here are 13 rules for scholarly research in the social sciences. Please apply all of them to your discussion assignments 1-Use APA citations and references. Turn to Google for help on how to do this. There is a sample paper below for you. 2-When you edit your work, think to yourself, “does this NEED saying”? If not, delete it. Don’t repeat anything that is in your references. That means I don’t need to know something is a film, a podcast, an article, titles of articles, first names or anything re-stated in the references etc. All I need is enough in your citation to get me to that reference…. 3-Cite sources as you go. These are your evidence, and you are doing research. This may help: http://www.easybib.com/guides/citation-guides/apa-format/ 4-Citations MUST be in parentheses (so they can be easily seen and cross-referenced by your reader). See the sample posted to the first discussion. 5-Cite the moment you mention that source of information. Example, Smith (2017) found that 25% of the world’s prisoners are incarcerated in the United States despite the fact that the US has only 5% of the world’s population. 6-I don’t need to see the titles of journals, articles, webpages etc etc. Just the last name of the writer plus the year is enough. 7-If there is no author, Google what to do. Google is your friend here. 8-No first names or initials… Anything else belongs in the references. That’s what they are for. Too much information compromises the readability of your work. 9-Avoid quotations. Write in your own words. Unless something is beautifully stated (unlikely), then paraphrase and cite as usual. Quotations compromise the readability of your work. 10- References must be alphabetised and are listed at the end of your work. 11-Citations must point to the reference. Example, you can cite (FDA 2015) but you cannot reference it as Food and Drug Administration 2015. They must be exactly the same. 12- Introduce your topic and don’t force your reader back to the prompt or class material in order to understand your piece of research. This means you can’t start your work with anything like: “The article says…” or “Yes” or “What he means …” etc etc. Allow your written response to stand alone. 13- Lastly, avoid I, me, my. No exceptions, please. Please don’t tell me about yourself, your experiences, or how you feel. You are one person in a sea of 7 billion people, so how you have experienced the world does not qualify as research (in fact, some of the least reliable testimony is that of eyewitnesses). Please respond to the questions below: 1- From AUDIO: The Power of Maps: What was the HOLC and how did it manufacture inequality? 2- From This American Life: House Rules: Why is where you live important? 3- Describe the four parts in Why do US Cops Keep Killing Unarmed Black Men? Explain the Big Picture. 4- Describe the film Crips and Bloods. From the film, what happened to them in the 1960s that caused the great struggle? What do the people living there not have that would help them thrive? 5- What’s the case for: AUDIO: Should We Give Homeless People Homes? 5- Watch the video in Week 3 called: The House I live in. Answer these questions: – Discuss some of the most important criticisms made in the film of the war on drugs? – What did David Simon say happens to people when they are denied access to core economic engines? Is he right? If so, why? If not, why not? – Starts around 1.31.25: Describe and reflect on the five-part “chain of destruction” that is used to eliminate people who are unwanted from a society.
