Information
Students will explore a cultural sport production (sport/game/human movement) of a nation linked to the students’ personal ethnicities and histories. Students will develop: 1) overview of national history, 2) overview the rules of the sport/game and its historical importance, 3) overview expressions of cultural values in sport/game/human movement, 4) explore how this cultural product has influenced their personal/familial sport experiences and sport identities, 5) its relation to art and aesthetics traditions of that nation, and 6) discussion.
The paper (3-5 pages, double spaced) should integrate and synthesize information from at least five (5) academic references that relate to one or more components that are addressed in the assignment. Students will need to ground their explorations in theoretical concepts discussed in class. Students are encouraged to cite from the core course textbook, .gov resources, non-profit agencies, NGOs, and other rigorous reference materials.
Reference citations must be in the format and style recommended by the American Psychological Association (APA) manual (7th edition) unless otherwise specified by the course instructor. Papers will be evaluated on the following criteria: (a) content and organization including synthesis of primary references; (b) adherence to the assignment guidelines; (c) citations, references, and format; (d) syntax, grammar, and spelling; and (e) creativity and insight expressed through the integration of all components of the assignment.
Professional Journal Articles:
Professional journal articles, or scholarly articles, have undergone a review process before publication. This means that the article has been reviewed by experts and typically revised prior to publication. The peer-review process helps to ensure that high quality articles are published. For this assignment, it's recommended that you begin searching for articles using Academic Premier (one of the library's databases) and on the search menu, check the box to limit your search to peer-reviewed articles. This database also provides full text articles. How to search using this database will be demonstrated in class. Reference librarians in the King Library are also available to help you search for references.
You MUST provide reference citations (use author, year format) for information you include in your paper, and a reference list must be included. Failing to provide reference citations is PLAGIARISM! Be sure to read the information that follows on plagiarism. It also illustrates how to include reference citations in the text of your paper, and how to cite references in your reference list. The King Library also has an online tutorial on plagiarism. Be sure you know what plagiarism is and how to avoid it!
