PAPER #2 ON GOD
Due: Tuesday, May 5 at 11:59 pm
Length: 3-4 pages, double-spaced
Submission: Through Canvas file upload; .docx, .doc, or .pdf
only.
Topic: Who is God, according to Christianity?
The Purpose of the Assignment
This assignment gives you an opportunity to reflect on what you
have learned in the course.

The Assignment
(1) Review the assigned readings, your notes and course
handouts, especially those related to the readings, which are
related to the question you are answering.
(2) Engaging with and citing the readings, handouts,
discussions, and videos of this course, write a paper in which
you are in dialogue with the course material. Your paper should
be written like a regular essay (no letters A,B, C, etc.) but
follow this structure:
Paper Title: Who is God, according to Christianity?
A. At first, before taking this course, my response to the
question, “Who is God, according to Christianity?” would have
been . . .
B. The readings, lectures, and discussion in this section of the
course suggested different answers or things I had not known or
thought about before, and so the way I would answer this
question now that I have done the assigned readings, read the
handouts, listened to lectures, and participated in class
discussions, is…
Note: In this section some reference should be made to least 2
of the readings or handouts for the section of the course related
to the question you are addressing. You can agree or disagree
with the authors or the professor, but be sure that you
demonstrate an understanding of what they were saying.
See the They Say, I Say handout in Files on Canvas for
suggestions about how to engage with the readings.
C.The ideas I will continue to think about that are related to this
question or the aspects of this question that are still a bit

unsettled in my mind are… [At least one idea or question]
The Audience for the Paper
I am not asking you to write for any audience other than the
professor. Even though you may assume I know the contents
already, be sure that you write with a clarity that lets me know
that you understand what you heard and have given it careful
thought.
The Format
· In the right hand corner, please just put your name, UCOR
2100—Catholicism in a Secular Age and the date. This should
leave you more room for the actual content.
· Your paper should be in essay form; it should have an overall
introduction followed by paragraphs for each section of the
course; the answer to Part C will serve as a conclusion.
· Since you are required to use only sources from the course for
this paper,you may use a simplified form of citation for direct
quotations. Simply put the author or authors’ name(s) and page
number in parentheses after the quotation: (Fischer and Hart, 3)
or (Boyle, 35). If you are using an electronic source without a
page number, put the chapter number or title after the author’s
name.
· You may use the word “I.” In fact, I encourage you to write in
the first person.
· Please note well the importance of demonstrating accurate
knowledge of the course material.
· If your paper is a personal reflection with no serious
engagement with the readings, lectures, and discussions of this
course, it may receive a failing grade. In other words, if your
paper could have been written the first day of class or by
someone who had never taken this course, it will not receive a
passing grade.
· The only sources you are to draw upon are the assigned
readings and your own experience. No further research is to be
done. References to books you have read for other courses is

fine.
As always, the SU Academic Integrity Policy applies.
Grading Criteria
In general, papers receiving the highest grades will be well
written (grammatically correct and spell-checked). More
specifically, below are the qualities of papers at each level:
A, A-: These papers exemplify excellence in form and content.
The writers of these essays use proper spelling, punctuation,
grammar, and word choice. They employ clear sentences and
intelligently organized paragraphs to communicate their ideas.
They include all required sections (A-C) and reference at least 2
readings.
Papers at this level present the most relevant points with great
clarity. Their analysis reveals depth of understanding. They
demonstrate careful thought and personal insight.
B+, B, B-: Papers at this level demonstrate solid preparation.
Grammatically and organizationally, these essays are essentially
correct and easy to follow. They include all required sections
(A-E) and reference at least 3 readings.
The difference between the B range papers and the A papers is
that the latter show a greater depth of understanding and
sophistication.
C+, C, C-: C essays are adequate. They are less effective in
writing style and less substantial in content. They may be
essentially accurate and basically meet the criteria of the
assignment, but offer only a superficial approach to the matter.
They may contain errors in understanding.
D+, D, D-: Papers at this level contain significant errors in

understanding and/or evidence careless preparation. They are
not effective in writing style. They may be lacking in required
content and may even be under the required length.
F: This grade is issued to papers which show serious
misunderstandings and/or are poorly written.

Module 3 - Case
Organized Labor
Assignment Overview
This assignment is about what the labor contract says. This is a
key element in whether or not the union or employer will win at
a grievance arbitration case. View the following video that
explains that the contract wording alone sometimes does not tell
the whole story:
https://youtu.be/4_jwZRFIdHY
(Eisenberg, 2015)
In this Case Assignment we will look at actual labor contracts
to experience the content and detail involved.
Go to the following source:
United States Department of Labor, Office of Labor-
Management Standards, Collective Bargaining Agreements.
Retrieved from
https://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/cba/index.htm
The emphasis is on how to represent information in table form
and to draw your own conclusions from the data presented.
Case Assignment
Select two labor contracts, each representing a different
industry group. Discuss (in your own words):
· How the two contract sections on employee grievance

handling differ and are the same (paying close attention to the
definition of “grievance”; grievance processing steps, mediation
and/or arbitration and other important topics in the clause).
· Compare and contrast their employee discipline/discharge
clauses.
· Summarize by bringing in your module readings and/or library
research to discuss the impact grievance handling might have on
employee relations.
Include at least 3 library sources to help strengthen your
discussion.
Half of your paper should be a table or tables, and half a
discussion of your conclusions drawn from the tables you
present. Paper length: 5 pages, not counting cover and reference
pages. Please upload your paper by the module due date.
Assignment Expectations
Demonstrate critical thinking and analysis of the relevant issues
and HRM actions, drawing on your background reading and
research.
Information Literacy: Evaluate resources and select only
library/Web-based resources that provide reliable, substantiated
information.
Give authors credit for their work. Cite sources of borrowed
information in the body of your text as footnotes or numbered
end notes, or use APA style of referencing.
Prepare a paper that is professionally presented (including a
cover page, a list of references, headings/subheadings, and a
strong introduction and conclusion). Proofread carefully for
grammar, spelling, and word-usage errors.

Academic Paper for instruction on writing papers, citing
sources, proper referencing, and so forth.
