Wolf's Sociology 204

Grade scale A 45-50; B 40-44; C 35-39; D 30-34

Your paper is eligible for a rewrite if you received below an A (44 points or below)

Rewrites have the possibility of improving up to full points for the paper.

Rewrites are due on Monday 2/01 for M/W and Tuesday 2/02 for T/R classes. You may also drop the rewrite off in my office in SS217. This is to allow time for me to grade your paper and get it back to you before your second paper is due.

You must attach the paper I graded to the rewrite.

Paper 1 is a "test" of your understanding of concepts and paradigms from Weeks 1 & 2 of the course. Regardless what topic or question you wrote on, the paper should significantly feature, and clearly use those concepts as they apply to your paper.

The problem that many of you ran into was to jump to the culture chapter and write on those concepts. You could have written about something related to culture, but it MUST demonstrate concepts from weeks 1 & 2.

From Claire OIiveros and Christian Aniciete

On Saturday September 26th, Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) struck the Philippines with the heaviest rainfall recorded, followed by the worst flooding, in 40 years. As of this writing, there are at least 246 people dead or missing and 435,000 victims who are homeless, injured or have lost all of their belongings. There are still as least 1 million people without electricity. Scenes are eerily similar to "Hurricane Katrina" and the devastation of Typhoon Ondoy has only just begun.
