This paper will be critical and comparative. Students should construct an argument providing evidence and reasons for the superiority of one of the seven answers to the question of the good life in comparison with the others studied during this class. Students should also critically analyze the thought of the philosopher they recommend, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of that philosopher’s argument, in their judgment, and how they believe it could be improved. The paper should be typed, double-spaced, with appropriate documentation of sources. It should be formatted according to MLA style. Students’ papers will be graded according to the following criteria: (1) their understanding of the primary authors’ texts and the ideas they contain; (2) their capacity to interpret the authors’ thought critically; (3) their capacity to sustain well-reasoned critical and comparative arguments in writing, summoning evidence from the primary texts as evidence to support their arguments, and clearly distinguishing their own thoughts from those of the primary and secondary writers with whom they are in conversation; and (4) their adherence to standard writing practices, as specified by the MLA Handbook, including the appropriate documentation of sources.

Paper should focus on one or more of these topics. For example:

• Phrase structure
• Rhythm
• Programmatic implications; topics and style
• Deviations from the sonata form principle
• The use of transitions to get from one tonal area to another
• Complexities in a development section
• Performance and analysis
Avoid writing a blow-by-blow, chronological account of the piece. Assume I can figure
out the basics, so write about what fascinates you most about the piece. Most importantly,
you must have a thesis that binds your paper together.

You will also be required to use at least one scholarly source (New Grove Dictionary, books,
articles, some Web pages).
Academic music papers use the Chicago Manual of Style
formatting, best distilled in Kate Turabian’s book A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses,
and Dissertations
Sources should appear as footnotes and as a bibliographic entry.
You are strongly encouraged to use examples in your paper. This may be done by inserting
them into the text, or by placing them at the end and making a reference to them in your
text. If you have multiple examples, number them by writing “Example 2, Example 3, etc.”

This is an analytical paper, and should be written in a formal tone. Thus, you should
avoid second person (“you see that in the voice part…”), colloquialisms (“Schubert
throws in some modal mixture at the end”) and contractions (“It’s interesting that there’s a
B-flat in m. 23.”)

Here are some other grammatical and written musical conventions:
• Abbreviate “measure” by using “m.” and “measures” by using “mm.” The only
exception is at the beginning of a sentence (“Measure 12 features a modulation”).
• Spell out all keys and notes (B-flat, C-sharp, D-flat major). All keys are capitalized,
even if they are minor (“Schubert sets this section in G minor”).
• Avoid complicated descriptions of minute details: “In m. 24, Brahms writes a
double-dotted eighth note that connects to a quarter-note triplet, followed by an
eighth-sixteenth-eighth figure…” This is better shown in an example.
• “A lot” is two words; “It’s” means “it is” as opposed to “its” (“It’s cold outside”;
“One notices its timbre changes in the B section”).

A dilemma, obviously, is when you are faced with a difficult choice. A moral dilemma is that where both choices seem to have a certain moral value. Since morality does depend on your upbringing, your culture, your values, which may be different from let’s say another person or another community, you could encounter a clash of values or something that could be seen as good from one perspective, and bad from another perspective. Therefore, moral dilemmas are hard to deal with because you have to decide which “good” outweighs the other “good” – or what matters more (let’s say when you have to decide between your own well being and that of your parents, or between what is right for your town versus what is right for your country.

This paper will be more like a narrative of your experience, but in which you will clearly state from the beginning (in the Introduction) what kind of moral dilemma you faced and how you resolved it. In the Body of the paper, you will elaborate on the two choices you had, on what made them both morally desirable (or in what way each contained something good, and from what point of view or perspective). Explain why you made the choice you made, ultimately, and if you think the consequences of your choice paid off or not (in other words, do you regret that choice?). The Conclusion could be what you learned from that experience, overall.

This paper is not as formal as the others so you can be more personal in your approach (not using only formal language, necessarily), but make sure you do follow MLA style, you write full paragraphs about distinct supporting ideas, and you have an introduction and a conclusion. I do expect logical sentences and good grammar so please avoid mistakes you made before (you can look back at your first draft’s comments, or consult the OWL link).

The second paper is a short essay that compares two paintings from the Palmer Museum of Art. Please select one of the following pairs of works for your essay (see over). The substance of your paper should be original formal analysis based on careful study in front of the works themselves (i.e. not viewed in reproduction). Each pair represents a particular genre such as portraiture, landscape, still life, or scenes of modern life. I want you to think about the changes in each genre that can be understood through a comparison of the paintings: in each case, one work emphasizes illusionism to a greater extent, and one work makes more ample use of abstraction.

All of the examples are American, and we are not studying American art prior to the WWII era in this class. We cannot always map the styles of these paintings with trends in Europe at the same moment. However, I expect that you will be able to apply your growing understanding of stylistic devices evident in European Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism in your descriptive analysis of these works. In several cases, color is used quite differently in each: look for the degree to which the artist makes use of earth tones and traditional black-white value contrast, or the degree to which he uses color to represent light and shadow. Consider the extent to which the artist is concerned with traditional representation of spatial depth and of the volume of the represented objects, and the extent to which he brings objects and forms closer to the picture plane, employs more flatness, or achieves more abstraction from nature.

Your paper should have a basic argument about the changes visible in the genre between the two works. Most of your paper should be your own formal analysis and conclusions. You may allude to basic historical information about the artists considered, but this is not a research paper, and no research on the artists is required. Any sources quoted or paraphrased in your text, however, must be cited in footnotes or endnotes; any sources that were helpful to your analysis should be listed in a bibliography. Again, no research is necessary but proper citations must be made for all research.

Obtaining e-journals articles is relatively straight-forward. There are several ways to go, but the simplest, sure-fire way is as follows:
(i) Go to Library homepage and log in
(ii) Do not use the “article search” feature as it is not always reliable. When it works, it is a great shortcut, but it does not always produce accurate results and even the simplest data entry error can lead you astray.
(iii) Click on Catalogue
(iv) Type in the name of the journal (e.g., Foreign Affairs), select “journal title” from the drop down menu, and hit “Go”
(v) Browse results using the applicable volume, issue, and date information. Many journals are stored at multiple electronic storage sites. Select the storage site that covers the date range you are looking for (e.g., some may store older issues while another stores more recent years and so on). Note also that some storage sites may have PDFs of the articles (e.g., versions that look exactly like the paper copy) while others only store HTML versions (which look like websites).
(vi) If you are having difficulty accessing e-journals, the instructor and TAs can show you during office hours or you can ask any reference librarian.
