Many sociologists contend that sport is a trivial pursuit that carries great meaning in and influence on our society.
- Describe the paradox: is sport trivial, or does it carry great meaning/have great influence?
- What does it mean to be a knowledgable sports fan?
- Do you believe that fans and sport participants have a superficial, uncritical attitude that takes sports for granted? Does being naive support fandom?
The Module Synthesis Paper assignment is a critical evaluation and application of the module readings, in-class discussions, and media presentations. The Module Synthesis Paper is a response (or responses) to a prompt (or prompts) on the module topic or a specific issue presented in the module. The assignment grade is based on the student’s ability to a) identify critical elements of the module that are relevant to the prompt, b) leverage facts and figures (information) from the module to support the response, c) synthesize elements of the module readings, in-class discussions, and media presentations to effectively respond to the prompt(s), and d) effectively communicate the response.
- All Synthesis Papers are to be submitted through Canvas.
- You must answer all
prompts in each question. You can organize your paper by identifying the question prompts if you choose. - Writing matters – all papers must be written with proper grammar and punctuation, correct spelling, and coherently organized sentences and paragraphs. Papers should be double-spaced.
- Citing your resources is required. All citations should follow APA formatting. You don’t need to provide a references list for course readings, but if you draw information from
an outside reading, article, or video, (such as from your group discussion board), that should appear in a references list at the end of your document.
