Paper Homework
o Details for two meetings. To help me verify that you have met the attendance requirements for these homework, it would be helpful if you provided some clear and specific details about bothof the meetings you attended. Where did they meet? What kind of meetings were they? Was there a specific reading, tradition, or step discussed? What was the emotional tone of each meeting? These are just a few questions you might want to interact with to distinguish the two meetings.
o Original source material. Established self-help groups like AA and NA publish a lot of information about their organizations. You will often find pamphlets and booklets discussing the group's history, its treatment philosophy, its leadership model, service positions, its principle texts, and issues concerning relapse and sponsorship. This is the best information to use for these papers as far as sources are concerned. When you are able to do so, consult the literature published by the group as your primary source of information.
o Personal stories. When presenting different stories about what members discussed in your meetings, please avoid transcribing the members' narrative point-by-point in that section of the paper. The general principle here is to tell me what was said without telling me that they said it. Identify and discuss the topics that someone shared without prefacing most or all sentences with the phrase, He shared...Then he shared...He then shared...He spoke about... Focus on the topics and content rather than on the members' activities in speaking or sharing.
o Editing. Lastly, please be sure to edit your writing carefully based on my previous feedback prior to submitting it for grading. Students are expected to incorporate professor's feedback into their writing and make the necessary revisions and corrections to issues of content and formatting.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
o The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
o Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
