== Assignments == The assignments are designed to facilitate your progress toward the course objectives. Due dates for assignments are included in the [[Practice_of_scholarship_(Spring_2016)#Course_schedule|course schedule]] below. === Readings === Almost every week will have some required readings. In general, I will provide links to readings or distribute them via [https://canvas.northwestern.edu/courses/36533 Canvas]. You are expected to have read these before you come to class and to have prepared for discussion. There are also some suggested readings and other resources you might find useful. There is one book that we will read multiple selections from. I recommend you acquire it. There are multiple editions/versions, but I don't think it matters which edition you use (I think the chapter numbers and titles are consistent): : Becker, Howard S. ''Writing for Social Scientists.'' Chicago: University of Chicago Press. I have also included readings from two others: : Booth, Wayne C., Gregory G. Colomb, Joseph M. Williams. ''The Craft of Research.'' Chicago: University of Chicago Press. : Strunk, William., and E.B. White. ''The Elements of Style.'' New York: Longman. (Please make sure it's an edition that includes "Part V: An Approach to Style") The Booth et al. stuff is recommended. If you like it, read it! === Weekly writing assignments === Every week, I ask you to produce and submit some written work. Unless otherwise noted, you should upload this work to Canvas by 5pm on Friday each week. This will make it possible for me and your colleagues to read and comment on your work before class. For most weeks, I will give written feedback on a randomly selected subset of the submissions (details of this procedure TBA). This preserves my sanity, but it does mean you will not each receive written feedback from me every week. You will, however, receive written feedback from me multiple times throughout the quarter. I will provide written feedback on everyone's final projects. === Feedback assignments === Almost every week, I ask you to review and comment on colleagues' work prior to class. In general, you should provide your comments as a response to their post on Canvas and come to class prepared to discuss the work and your feedback. === Optional research writing journal === Throughout the quarter, you may find it valuable to keep a research writing journal documenting your effort, progress, and reflections on your project in this course. I encourage you to write brief daily entries (or as close to daily as you can) and, at minimum, a few entries per week. Entries can be brief and might simply record what you worked on that day, how long you worked on it, and a sentence or two reflection on your work experience. You may also find yourself inspired to write more. This is an optional assignment and you do not need to submit it. === Final Project: Manuscript submission === '''Due: Monday, June 10''' Your final project for the course is a submission-ready manuscript for a peer reviewed conference or journal of your choosing. It should follow the style, length, and formatting guidelines of the venue in which you seek to publish it. [https://canvas.northwestern.edu/courses/91705/assignments/575733 Submit via Canvas]
