II.

Briefly present how your ideas relate to one another and to your position statement (make sure your reasoning/links are present) III. Briefly present a counterargument to your main position, using two to three supporting arguments to demonstrate your critical thinking c. Conclusion Bring your presentation to a close: how will you leave your audience with a lasting impression? Will I conclude with a relevant rhetorical question, a warning, a recommendation or open up a debate to a wider context? d. References I. At least 5 academic, peer-reviewed resources from the social sciences (i.e. sociology, management, anthropology, philosophy, etc. but not psychology) should be cited throughout your presentation to support your arguments II. All references that are cited throughout your presentation should be listed on the last slide of your presentation III. References should be formatted according to APA 7th Edition; https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_style_introduction. html Sample position statement: Bodychecking in hockey A position statement describes one side of an arguable viewpoint by providing context. • Identify your topic: Bodychecking in Hockey • Identify arguable viewpoints: For/against bodychecking; For/against a total ban on the behavior; For/against stricter regulation. Gather a list of reasons to support a particular viewpoint. • Your viewpoint (position to be emphasized): You strongly support bodychecking – Supporting arguments: it is more intense for players and entertaining sport spectators; is in line with Canadian traditions; and develops more robust players. • The counterpoint: You support a ban on bodychecking – Supporting arguments: it increases serious injuries; decreases participation; and decreases the quality of play Write a sentence or two that pulls all the information together and makes your position clear to the audience. • Ex: Although bodychecking in hockey may cause some harm such as injuries and lower participation, removing this behavior is too radical and will eventually hurt the game. Players and spectators like intensity and passion, and regulations already protect players against serious injuries.

The video presentation assignment will be further discussed in class prior to the due date. 7.3 Reflection Paper (5%) The aim of the reflection paper is for you to reflect on the course material and draw connections between what you have learned and your own lives, experiences, or future careers. The content of the reflection paper is flexible and will vary from student to student depending on your own personal experiences with the course content. The reflection paper must be 3 pages long and formatted according to APA 7th Edition (12pt Times New Roman, double-spaced). The paper is due on the last day of class, July 20th @ 6:59pm via Brightspace. The paper is worth 5% of your final mark. The evaluation rubric is available at the end of this document.

Once assignments/exams/lab reports have been marked, the mark should be changed only in case of mistakes made in marking or in registering the mark.
