MISCELLANEOUS ASSIGNMENT POINTS: Up to 30
DUE: Whichever team finishes first (dealine Friday, 5 March).
(BUT: No paper can be submitted BEFORE Weds. Ties will be considered)
The intent of this exercise is to get people talking and working on a
short paper together. How you do it may vary between groups. The goal
is to develop teamwork.
SCORING:
1. The team the submits a complete assignment first gets 10 points
Second team: 5 points
All other teams who submit: 3 points:
2. The Team that I judge to have the BEST answer receives UP TO 20 points.
The second place team gets UP TO 15
All other teams who finish get UP TO 10
(note: "up to" means that the papers are graded on a 20, 15, 10 points scale)
CATCH: Team members who don't participate in a timely fashion, or
who do NOT participate at all, can be--at the descretion of a team vote--not
given a share of the points. Hence, teams have the option of using one
of their passes for a team member OR submitting the answer and voting
to exclude the team member from points. But, all team members must be
given ample time.
NOTE: NO ANSWER MAY BE SUBMITTED BEFORE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
(NOTE: As always - all team members must participate in the exercise
before a team can submit it. Passes, of course, can be used).
This is a more complex team game, drawn from one of our first
assigments.
First, read The ALLIGATOR STORY and think about the questions.
THEN: Read the following short story Boule de Suif by Guy de Maupassant
And then answer the following in about 750-1,000 words:
1) What is the short story about?
2) What is the premise about gender and sexuality?
3) Does it make you change your view of Abigail, or does it simply
reinforce what you thought?

B. Having read the material on Kitty Genovese:
1. What obligations do people owe each other?
2. What obligations did Kitty G's neighbors owe her?
3. What obligations, if any, did Ivan owe Abigail?
4. What on earth does this have to do with criminal justice??
Designate one team member (*NOT* the team leader) to summarize and'
cut and paste the paper.
