SOC 340: clarification on papers

I'm issuing a few clarifications on the assignments:

1- Because you are working in pairs, only one paper needs to be turned in. Put the names of both partners on the paper, and as long as no problems arise, both members will receive the same grade. [If issues do arise and you feel that your partner is not contributing equally, then please see me.]

2- Papers are due on the Friday of the week corresponding on the syllabus. This is true, except where noted [reading logs are due all at once on Nov. 24 and final projects are due on Dec. 1].

2- There is no assigned page length, as mentioned in class. I am expecting 2-4 pages for the first assignment [others may be longer]. That said, please write as much as you think is necessary to communicate your point. Content matters more than length.

3- Regarding the first paper due on gender norms, you can choose any gender norm you wish. I am assuming you have read the materials in the textbook and you should relate your experiences to what is referenced in the book. One group member can choose to violate the gender norm, both members can, or alternative arrangements can be made (like your husband does it, but you should be involved in the planning, execution, and of course, observations and write-up).

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
