PAPER 3
When you get your paper 3 back, on the left hand side of where the paper grade is, you may see a list of one or more numbers. Those numbers correspond to the following problems.

  1. Full references are needed in the bibliography

  2. Comments on the last part of the assignment need further development
  3. Although the paper does describe how support provided follows suggested theoretical ines, the ide needs to be expanded.
  4. The discussions of the last question provides a clear answer byt the reasoning behind the position taken is not fully developed.
  5. The paper has references listed, but either they are not the ones referred to in the paper, or there are no references indicated in the paper itself.
  6. The paper makes connections to class material but far stronger and more pertinent connections could have been made.
  7. The discussion seems to assume that FoMV is a standard part of the CJS rather than an outside funded program that is collaborating with the CJS.
  8. The paper makes it sound like, in places, that the program is generally for the victims of violence, rather than for the families of murder victims, which is what most of its activities focus upon.
  9. Paper could have provided a better program overview
  10. Some of the comments made in the paper make it sound like FoMV is providing the financial compensation directly, rather than helping the co-victims get it from another source.
  11. The paper mentions that the program provides social support, and that social support is good, but the paper does not provide the references needed, and/or does not explain the theoretical underpinnings specifically.

GRADUATION DATES
At this juncture there is a chance I will not be able to turn in final grades for this course until after the first grade run. PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY EMAIL IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO GRADUATE NEXT MONTH, so I can make plans as needed to turn in a provisional grade.
