By now you should have returned to you your tip sheet, labeled as approved or not approved. If not approved, please follow my comments on what you need to do to get your tip approved, and please resubmit your tip sheet ASAP (like tonight or by tomorrow morning).
If you are approved, you are free to start working on your out-of-class story. And whether approved or not, please read and follow my recommendations that are ((( *** IN BOLD FACE AND LARGE TYPE LIKE THIS *** ))) in your returned tip sheet.
Please remember that per the syllabus, your out-of-class story ...
... must have a minimum of three human sources you interviewed
yourself;
... a minimum of 700 words in length;
... be double-spaced and conforming to AP
Style;
... include a word count at the end;
... include a list of sources with their phone
numbers and email addresses (so I can do spot checks on whether you
really talked to them and whether your citations were accurate, ect.) at the end.
Your deadline for your first out-of-class story will be no later than 9 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15 via email to omars@msu.edu. The email title should be OOC#1.
Any questions? Please come see me ASAP. And good luck!
