Your response to each prompt should aim to be between 250 and 300 words. There are no penalties (or rewards) for going over the word limit.
Please be sure to evidence your answers through an engagement with the theorists’ own writing. You are not required to include a works cited/references list, if only consulting the assigned course material. Please do, however, include in-text parenthetical citations that reference the title of the reading, if you are engaging with a theorist for whom we read multiple works (e.g. (Weber, Protestant Ethic) or (Weber, Science as a Vocation)).
As always, you should be careful to follow the standards of academic honesty and integrity as outlined here: https://ugradresearch.uconn.edu/academic-integrity/. Under these standards, you are prohibited from copying text and/or ideas without attribution from any source outside of our assigned course material. Please note that when you submit your final exam through HuskyCT, you will be required to submit your exam through the SafeAssign software.
Thanks again for a great semester! Good luck!
