You will be asked to choose a film and discuss how different concepts and readings from the course can be applied to the film. The film you will be doing is 10 Things I hate about you. A basic outline of the final essay requirement is listed on the syllabus. Here are some additional points to keep in mind as you’re putting your essay together:
1) Pick a film of your choice. I’ve listed many good options on the syllabus, but you can pick any film that you think is applicable to the class (aside from “Little Miss Sunshine,” which we’re watching and discussing as a class). You should not pick the same film as your friends, and you should work independently, without the consultation of anyone else from class.
2) In your essay, you should focus on CONCEPTS (i.e., terms from class notes, such as “the stopping rule” to give one example), THEORIES, and READINGS from class. An “A” paper will have a detailed discussion of at least 7 CONCEPTS, 6 THEORIES, and 5 READINGS, although these are minimums and you’re welcome to add more. Going through the plot of the film in chronological order is often helpful to keep the essay on track, but a full recap of the plot is not necessary, nor is a lot of detail about the film or characters. Just discuss the most pertinent points related to class.
3) Your paper should be approximately 1,500-2,000 words.
I have attached files with information regarding the class to help you write this paper if you have any questions please ask. Thank you!

The midterm report is a paper written by the student about the course material covered so far. This assignment serves as a reflective or analytical piece where the student summarizes, discusses their understanding of, engages critically with, and communicates their thoughts on the course content. Here are the key components and considerations for this assignment:Introduction:
• Begin with an introductory section that explains the purpose of the report and provides context for the reader.
Course/Material Overview:
• Provide a detailed review of the course material covered up to the mid-term point.
• Summarize the main themes, topics, and objectives of the course.
• Discuss key concepts, theories, readings, and assignments.
• Include examples or illustrations where relevant to clarify your understanding.
Reflection:
• Reflect on your learning experience in the course so far. What have you found most interesting or challenging?
• Discuss any insights or realizations you’ve had about the subject matter.
• Consider how the course material relates to your interests or future goals.

• Reiterate the significance of the course and its relevance to your academic and personal growth.
Format:
I prioritize quality over quantity. With that being said, your draft should be at a minimum, two full pages, double-spaced. Students should utilize a 12-point font when writing this paper. The top right corner should include your name, the course name/code, the instructor’s name, and the date. You should also include the following title for your paper: “Midterm Reflection.”

RESULTS RUBRIC 17. The results are presented in a manner consistent to the data analysis method. Qualitative analysis: The results are presented as themes. These themes are formulated in a scientific manner. The themes reflect interpretation and analytical thinking skills. 18. The results are presented in a scientific manner consistent with the method of analysis. The qualitative results are presented by means of a data analysis schedule, evidence of coding and themes. Themes are validated with literature where necessary. 19. Critical and analytical thinking is reflected in all elements of the data analysis process and presentation of the data.

Paper Outline & Annotated Bibliography: An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraphs (i.e. the annotation). The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Note that these are not abstracts; abstracts are the purely descriptive summaries often found at the beginning of scholarly journal articles or in periodical indexes. Annotations are descriptive and critical; they expose the author’s point of view, clarity and appropriateness of expression and authority. You will use your annotated bibliography to help you develop your research plan. You must have a minimum of 3 academic sources that come from books or peer reviewed articles on your topic.

write an essay where you utilize the Geary reading to critique the “personal responsibility model of prevention.” In your introduction you should briefly define/articulate the “personal responsibility” argument for HIV/AIDS prevention. Next, outline the social model (e.g. Pellowski et al; Singer) of HIV/AIDS including how social determinants of health drive HIV/AIDS rates. Then, utilize the materialist model (Geary) to explain how HIV/AIDS rates cannot be reduced to poverty (and other social determinants of health) alone, but instead should be explained through the relations of domination, exploitation and oppression[1]. Next, explicate how the “personal responsibility” argument might fall short in prevention efforts given what we know from the materialist and social models.
