The Paradigm Shift in Urban Sociology
Each reading reaction paper will be evaluated based on the following expectations or criteria (not all criteria will make sense for all readings):
• Understand and explain the main argument of the reading
• Identify and define key concepts used
• Try to place the reading in the larger context of our class (other readings or class content), or even the broader field of urban sociology

Papers should be 1-2 pages long, double-spaced, in 12 point font with 1 inch margins. It is always necessary to carefully proofread your written work before handing it in. If requested, you must get writing help from the Student Academic Success Center in Dutton Hall. Do not go over the page limit, we will not read it. Please do not include a bibliography but do cite your sources in the text using ASA format:
