The MMW 122 Omnibus Tome*
Summer 11 2019
*What is an Omnibus Tome? Omnibus is Latin for “everything.”
Tome is a volume or an ancient Roman roll of papyrus. So,
an Omnibus Tome is an “Everything Roll of Papyrus,” or, in
MMW-speak, the volume that contains everything you will need
to research, write and submit your MMW papers. It’s also just
more fun to say than “the prompt.”

I. THE WRITING ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW: Critical Media
Analysis
In MMW 122 you will study the major ideas, events,
movements, and systems that have shaped our modern,
globalized world. The writing assignment for the course gives
you an opportunity to examine the modern idea of
universal human rights as prescribed in the historic Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) co-authored
by Eleanor Roosevelt and adopted by the United Nations on 10
December 1948. In this assignment you will select
one of the universal human rights articulated in the UDHR,
undertake a comparative analysis of five current
news media sources that discuss your chosen human right, and
advance an argument about the how that right is
depicted and what is the significance of this depiction/variety of
depictions. You will use contemporary news
media sources and scholarly secondary sources in making your
argument and supporting your analysis. The
MMW 122 paper draws on the critical analysis, research, and
writing skills that you learned MMW 121.
Learning Goals: MMW and the media analysis assignment will
help you develop methods of clear and
disciplined thinking in order to negotiate the complexities of
college, career and civic life. The purpose of the
assignment is to:
examine the concept of universal human rights in the global
contemporary world
investigate the coverage of human rights in global news
sources (moving away from popular media
comfort zones like blogs, Reddit, Facebook Twitter, etc.)
improve multi-literacies that include critical media literacy and
digital literacy skills and competencies to

develop citizenship in the contemporary globalized world.
practice skills to access, evaluate and analyze global
contemporary news media sources
practice analytical skills by advancing an argument grounded in
scholarly research about your topic by
separating research-based claims from opinion
The portfolio of final papers in MMW 121 and MMW 122 (each
1500 words minimum) may fulfill the UCSD
Upper-Division Writing Requirement (Option B).

II. MMW Guidelines for Writing and Submitting Papers –MMW
14, 15, 121, 122
Word Count
The minimum and maximum word counts are consistent with the
requirements of the ERC Upper Division
Writing Requirement. The word count of your essay, excluding
Works Cited page and headings, must fall within
this range to meet the requirements of the assignment.
Sources
MMW papers require the use of scholarly (peer-reviewed)

sources and sometimes additional sources as indicated
in prompts or with prior approval of our TA.
Formatting and Documentation of MMW Papers
Follow these guidelines for all papers written for MMW (unless
otherwise instructed):
• Provide a complete, double-spaced heading that includes your
name, your TA’s name, your section
number, the assignment number or title, and the date.
• Type with Times New Roman 12-font and double-space the
paper, including the heading (no single-
spacing).
• Number multiple pages using MLA format.
• Give the paper a title.
• Use 1" margins on all four sides.
• Use MLA documentation to credit all sources, including
lecture and Internet material. For
documentation format, see Easy Writer.
Annotating and Submitting your Research Paper Sources
You are required to submit the pages of your sources you used
in your paper. For each source:
1. Scan the title page and copyright page.
2. Highlight/mark and scan each page in the source from which
you took material, showing the material
you have summarized, paraphrased, quoted and cited.
3. Save the title page, copyright page, and marked source pages
as a .PDF or .DOCX file.
• Do not save them as JPEGs or any other format. Canvas will
not accept any file type but .PDF and

.DOCX.
• Geisel Library has computers with Adobe that can consolidate
pages into one .PDF file.
• DO NOT SUBMIT A WHOLE ARTICLE OR BOOK – only the
pages that you use in your paper. If the file
is too big it will cause a malfunction in your entire submission
and may even crash the system.
4. Name your source file: “Author’s last name_Title of
Document” (can be a short version of the title as long
as it correlates to the Work Cited list in a clear way).
5. Submit each source as a separate attachment (one submission,
several attachments). Some TAs prefer all
of your sources to be scanned and submitted as one file; check
with your TA for their preference.
Assignment Submission Instructions and Requirements (Two
Submissions for each assignment)
See individual prompts for checklists of what you must submit
for that assignment. In general:
1. Assignment Submission: Canvas will automatically send your
submission to Turnitin.com
a. Save your essay as “Paper + the number of the assignment (1,
2) as a .DOC or .DOCX file. Turnitin will
only accept .DOC or .DOCX formats (no PDFs for this
submission).
b. Go to your Canvas site, click on Modules, Submit
Assignments, and follow the directions.
2. Source, Rubric, and Other Submission. See assignment
prompt for specifics.

a. Preparing and Saving files
i. Sources: For each source you used, submit an electronic file
in .PDF or .DOCX format (see
Annotating, Scanning, and Submitting Your Research Sources
above).
ii. Rubric: Copy and paste the grading rubric and save it as a
.PDF or .DOCX file named “Rubric.”
iii. Other files: Sometimes the assignment prompt will require
that you submit other files, too.
4
Please see the individual prompts for a checklist of all required
files.
b. Uploading Assignment files to Canvas
i. Click on the “Modules” link, and go to “Submit
Assignments.” Choose the assignment for
which you are submitting and follow the directions for
submitting the sources, rubric, and
other files.
ii. Upload ALL required files, one at a time, as specified for the
assignment.
iii. After you have checked that you have uploaded the correct
version of ALL of your
documents, click “Submit.”
If you have trouble with your submission, and before you

contact your TA:
Make sure that you have not submitted whole books or articles.
Files that are too large can overload the
system, cause a malfunction in your submission, and may result
in late penalties.
Make sure that you are submitting files in PDF or .DOX file
formats ONLY, for reasons above.
Try another browser. Sometimes that works. Chrome often
works best.
Try another computer. The computers on campus should be
able to handle these submissions.
Try again. At least 3 times.
Then contact your TA with a very detailed description of the
problem, perhaps with a screen shot.
Late paper policy
Your assignment will be counted as late and will not be graded
until ALL of the submissions described above are
completed. You must submit all paper assignments to Canvas by
the beginning of lecture on the due date. You
may not turn in hard copies of papers to the MMW office, nor
may you put them in your TA’s mailbox
(these will not be graded).
You will lose one-third of a letter grade for each day that a
paper submission is late. Remember that a
weekend counts as three days; if your paper is due on a Friday,
and you don’t turn it in until Monday, you
will lose an entire letter grade.
There comes a time when a paper assignment is so late that it
will no longer be accepted and a student

will fail the entire course for not fulfilling the MMW program
requirement that all paper assignments
must be completed and submitted in a timely manner. This
policy applies to the 1) Prospectus and 2)
Final Paper. Please see the specific assignment prompt for the
precise final date that a submission will be
accepted and after which a student will fail the course. Any
exception to this policy must be requested
along with legitimate and verifying documentation and accepted
by your TA in advance of this final
deadline.
Plagiarism and other academic misconduct:
MMW requires each writing assignment to be the product of
original individual work. While we encourage you
to discuss your ideas—and to share your sources of
information—with others, we expect the words you submit
for a grade to be yours and the scholars you quote. It is your
responsibility to comply with the University’s Policy
on Integrity of Scholarship outlined below:
5

Here are some forms of academic misconduct that violate the
UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship:
Plagiarism consists of using an author’s words, ideas, or
information, or of copying the word order or
structure of an author’s work without acknowledging that author
as your source. It is your responsibility to
ensure that you have not plagiarized anything in the work you
submit for grading. Be careful to avoid
unintentional plagiarism. For example, if you include a direct
quotation in your paper—even one that is only
a few words long—you must be sure to enclose it in quotation
marks and to acknowledge your source with a
parenthetical citation. You must also introduce a paraphrase
with the name of the source and followed by a
parenthetical citation. You must even credit sources with

anonymous authors, such as many websites, in this way.
Consult a writing handbook or talk with one of your instructors
if you are unsure of exactly what is and what is
not considered to be plagiarism, or if you are unclear about the
rules for the correct citation of sources. Give
credit to all authors and speakers whose work you use, and
enclose all quoted material in quotation marks.
As a rule, it is better to give too much credit than too little – so
when in doubt, cite.
Fabrication of a source citation – that is, taking material from
one source but crediting that material to
another source, or making up a source citation – also violates
University rules. Provide correct citation
information; attributing material to the wrong author or the
wrong text is almost as bad as giving no credit
at all.
Using material from another course
As addressed in #7 from the Policy on Integrity of Scholarship
above, you may not reuse material from a previous
course in a new course without the permission of your
instructor. This is considered academic misconduct
because it attempts to earn new academic credit for work that is
not done in the current course; this is
considered an unethical attempt to earn credit without putting in
the work. Why? Because you earn new
academic credit for conducting new research and writing new
assignments. If you want to use a very small
portion of your previous paper, you have to clear it with your
TA first to determine that it meets this criteria.
Consequences of Academic Misconduct
The University considers plagiarism and other academic
misconduct to be serious academic offenses. Anyone
whose paper appears to contain a plagiarized passage or to

otherwise violate the rules on academic integrity will
have his or her work reviewed by MMW’s Academic
Coordinators and the professor. If the violation is found to
be serious enough, the student could receive an “F” on the
assignment or an “F” for the course (the academic
Students’ Responsibilities
Students are expected to complete the course in compliance
with the Instructor’s standards. No student shall
engage in any activity that involves attempting to receive a
grade by means other than honest effort; for example:
1. No student shall knowingly procure, provide, or accept any
unauthorized material that contains questions or
answers to any examination or assignment that is being, or will
be, administered.
2. No student shall complete, in part or in total, any
examination or assignment for another person.
3. No student shall knowingly allow any examination or
assignment to be completed, in part or in whole, for himself
or herself by another person.
4. No student shall plagiarize or copy the work of another
person and submit it as his or her own work.
5. No student shall employ aids excluded by the instructor in
undertaking course work or in completing any exam or
assignment.
6. No student shall alter graded class assignments or
examinations and then resubmit them for regrading.
7. No student shall submit substantially the same material in

more than one course without prior authorization.

sanction is determined by the professor) and the student’s file
will be forwarded to the UCSD Office of Academic
Integrity and to the ERC Dean of Student Affairs. If the Dean
determines that there is, indeed, academic
misconduct, she will impose a conduct sanction, the severity of
which will depend on the extent of the
misconduct. It is important to note that even a first offense can
result in a quarter’s suspension and that the
standard sanction for a second offense is suspension or
permanent dismissal from the university. Any instance of
academic misconduct can be recorded in a student’s file. Such a
record might interfere with a student’s
acceptance into law, medical, or graduate school, or might make
that student ineligible for positions requiring a
security clearance, such as a government internship.
We hope that you will never feel the need to plagiarize out of
fear that your own work isn’t good enough. We
expect students to write like students, not like professionals.
What matters most is for you to demonstrate that
you’ve thought about the material and that you’ve learned
something from it. Your own words are the best
reflection of you.

IV. The MMW 122 Writing Assignments – Critical Media
Analysis
Assignment #1 Prompt: Prospectus
Late Assignment: If you fail to submit the Prospectus by the
date posted on p. 2, you will be assigned late penalties. The
Assignment will no longer be accepted after one week of the
due date, and you will fail the course for not completing a
required writing assignment in a timely manner.
What is a Prospectus?
The prospectus is a 500-750 word plan for your final paper
analysis. It is probably the most important, and often
the most difficult, assignment to write so you should plan to
spend some time on this first step of your critical
media analysis. Its purpose is to help you organize your
research and your analysis into an argument: to present
your research in news media sources and to begin to formulate
your thesis and the supporting arguments,
counterarguments, rebuttals, and evidence you need to make
your claim. Remember that your prospectus is a
planning document, not a final draft; you are free to make
substantial changes if further research shows you that
you need to do so. But you should demonstrate that you have a
good research project for the final analysis.
Step 1 – Topic Selection:
Read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-
human-rights/, including the Preamble. Choose a recent topic
(within the past year) or a developing news
story related to one (1) of the thirty Articles in the UDHR .

Search mainstream foreign newspapers/news
media sites for an event, series of events, movement, or issue
related to the human right you have selected.
(See list below of appropriate news sites for this assignment.)
Step 2 – Research: Selecting news sources.
Locate coverage of your topic in a minimum of five (5)
mainstream news media articles from
English-language news sources published in three (3) different
continents. Do not use social media
news sources.
Possible news websites:
World-Newspapers.com (directory of world newspapers)
http://www.world-newspapers.com/
(contains access to news sources in Africa, Asia, Australia and
Oceania, Europe, Middle East, North and
Central America, US (state and local papers).
In addition to the news sources listed in World-Newspapers.com
above, you might also try these:
Middle East
The Saudi Network (directory of Saudi newspapers)
http://www.the-saudi.net/directory/news-papers.htm
Arab News (Saudi Arabia) http://www.arabnews.com/
The Jerusalem Post http://www.jpost.com/
Haaretz (Israel) https://www.haaretz.com/
Palestine News Network http://english.pnn.ps/
The Daily Star (Lebanon) http://www.dailystar.com.lb/

Daily News Egypt https://dailynewsegypt.com/
Al Ahram Weekly (Egypt) http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/
Al Jazeera (Qatar) https://www.aljazeera.com/
Hurriyet Daily News (Turkey)
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/
Tehran Times http://www.tehrantimes.com/
9
Step 3 – Writing the Prospectus
Begin with an introductory paragraph that includes the
necessary background and historical context of
the topic, including the actual text of your chosen UDHR
article. Then, summarize each news source that
you will evaluate, compare and contrast in your final paper.
Avoid excessive quotations, as this is
supposed to be your own plan for your final paper, but cite
where necessary. It would be helpful to look at
the prompt for the final Critical Media Analysis Paper so that
you can demonstrate that you will have an
appropriate project that will meet the requirements of the final
paper. The prospectus should
demonstrate that you: a) have identified a current events topic
related to the human right you selected,
and b) have consulted appropriate news media sources and
found at leave five (5) news stories on your
topic from at least three (3) different continents and c) have
some initial ideas about the scholarly
research you might conduct for your final analysis. This will
help your TA give you more specific feedback

and suggestions.
Step 4 – Include a Works Cited in MLA format (See MMW
Guidelines for Writing and Submitting Papers
section above)
Step 5 – Submit Prospectus Essay, Works Cited, Sources and
Rubric according to the MMW Guidelines for
Papers section above.

Assignment #2 Prompt: Critical Media Analysis (Final Paper)
Late Assignment: Your final paper will not be accepted after the
Final Exam. Because all components of the writing
assignment are required to pass the course, you will fail the
course if your final paper is not submitted by this time. If you
do
not submit this assignment at all, you will fail the course for not
completing all four required writing assignments.
What is a Critical Media Analysis Paper?
In 1500-2000 words, compare and contrast how your topic was
covered in each news story and answer the
following question:
Using your topic as a case study or example, what argument can
you make about how
this universal human right is depicted and the significance of
this depiction?
Analyzing News Sources

Compare and contrast your news articles with some of the
following questions in mind:
• What do you know about the newspaper/site that published
this story? What do you know about the
reporter/editor? Are these state, corporate or validated
independent media sources/stories? What’s make
them more or less credible than others?
• What is the tone and vocabulary of the article? What
adjectives or verbs are used to describe the event?
• What sources does the article’s author rely on? Who is
quoted?
• What is the position/location and length of the article? How is
it presented on the page/site?
• If an image is used, what is its content and impact?
• How does the narrative change or stay the same with each new
source?
• How might the above questions reveal biases in the news
story?
• What overall impression does this article convey about the
given topic?
• What difference does it make if one news source is describing
an event in a different way than another?
• What issues should a reader keep in mind when reading the
news stories you selected?
• Why is it important to read several news sources before
drawing conclusions?
• Compare and contrast sources from one region to those from
another. In what ways are they different or
similar in terms of their coverage? What information is
included? Excluded? What is significant about
this?

Grounding your analysis in scholarship.
Before making your argument, read at least three (3) scholarly
sources related to your topic. These may be
for current or historical background and/or to help you evaluate
the credibility of any of your sources.
Referencing and integrating scholarly sources will give you
some tools for your analysis, argument and final
conclusions about the significance of your argument.
Making a credible, convincing and research-based argument.
Make an argument about the depiction of the human right you
selected in the news sources related to your
topic. Include a strong and clear thesis statement and present
your argument with supporting arguments,
evidence, and/or rebutted counter-arguments.
Submit Works Cited and Pages of Sources Used to Canvas
Your Works Cited and headings are not included in the word
count.
