Requirements for Optional Extra Credit Paper 2)
3)
4) 5) 6)
7) 1) Topic: Reforming the financial system. Pick a subtopic within this general topic area. It must be a
minimum of 7 pages long (basic text), double-spaced,
and typed. Title pages, bibliography, etc., are extra.
Your paper must have a bibliography and you must use some generally
accepted presentation style (i.e. MLA, Chicago, etc.). Once you pick a
style, be consistent.
You must turn in a full copy of any material that you use off the Internet
or from magazines and news articles. Any books cited must have a copy
of the title page enclosed with your document.
You must decide whether to do a paper no later than the class period
following the return of exam 2. I will pass around sign-up sheets. The
paper cannot hurt your grade – it is net points added to your total score.
However, once you commit to doing a paper—you must complete it.
The weight of the paper can be significant. A good paper can raise one
test score 1 to 2 grade points (i.e. for example if you received a D grade
on exam one it could raise it to a B grade). The paper’s purpose is to
assist students struggling in the class. It has the greatest potential effect
of a student’s overall grade at the lower end of the grade spectrum (For
example, raising a D grade to a C grade).
If you need any help selecting topics or if you have any other questions,
please see me.
The paper is due no later than May 5, 2015 in class.
