The KNPR State of Nevada Paper
The KNPR State of Nevada Paper One of the most common assignments given in PSC 100 (Nevada Constitution) and PSC 101 (Introduction to American Politics) is a paper summarizing a segment of the Nevada National Public Radio’s program The State of Nevada. All students who graduate from a Nevada public university are required to take a course covering the Nevada Constitution. UNLV alone offers over thirty 60-student PSC 100 courses, ten 45-student PSC 101 courses, and three 250-student PSC 101 courses. UNR offers these same courses. Therefore, many students write KNPR papers. This entry serves as a reference point for these papers in the archive. The KNPR State of Nevada website: https://knpr.org/programs/knprs-state-nevada The template for the KNPR assignment is below. Note that this is only a template, and specific instructors have modified this assignment to suit their needs. Details will vary.

Last Class Announcement PSC100
Hi, Rebels. Thank you for your hard work these past five weeks. I have my grades inputted, and I will submit them to UNLV in 24 hours. I am here if you have any questions. I also have some announcements that I think may interest you: Contribute to the Covid-19 Archive: A favor – if your KNPR paper dealt with coronavirus, would you please upload it to the Covid-19 Archive? I encourage you to upload other things that relate to you as a person and Las Vegas. Do you have pictures of an empty Las Vegas? Have you been journaling about how much this sucks? Have you made art inspired by the pandemic? I'm part of a project trying to collect these stories. I encourage you to upload a bit of your life. Tag anything class related with #psc100 and #unlv. I'd like you to include the tag #mlphelps in anything you upload to trace your activity to me. (Don't worry if you do it wrong, real people will review and fix your entry) Please upload your KNPR paper/journal/picture/poem/art/anger here: https://covid19.omeka.net/contribution COVID-19 Testing: Testing for coronavirus is available and free. You do not have to have symptoms or health insurance to get tested. Visit UNLV Medicine's COVID-19 Triage Questionnaire website, Text ''covid'' to 702-744-9722, or call 702-583-4408. I tried out the website before sending it out, and it seems pretty easy. Political Science Club: In Fall 2020, the department of political science will be sponsoring a student-led and student-created Political Science Club. We are now gathering interested members. This club will exist to provide a community for our majors and friends. Anyone is welcome. Join here: https://groups.google.com/a/unlv.edu/forum/#!forum/political-science-club In closing, I offer my sincerest congratulations to our graduating seniors. Look at how far you've come and how much you've overcome! The world is dark and hard, but we've trained you to be a rebel. Be the light. Congratulations again. Phelps #mlphelps -

PSC101 Extra Credit Instructions
Call For Paper Upload to Archive for PSC101: Hi, Rebels. I hear your upset about the KNPR paper. In response, I have given everyone 5% extra credit on that assignment. (I've done this by lowering the points possible to 95 while not adjusting your score. Since the KNPR paper is worth 15% of your grade – no matter how many points I make it worth – this has the effect of giving you 5% extra credit on your paper. Yes, this really is the easiest way.) I also offer you the chance for an extra 5% extra credit on the KNPR paper. I'm working with a project involved in chronicling people's experiences and the like during coronavirus. Right now, you and I are living history. We must keep and curate information from all walks of life (rather than just the elite). To get this 5% of extra credit, you will upload your KNPR assignment to https://covid19.omeka.net/contribution with following tags in the "What else would you like to tell us about this contribution?" field: #unlv #psc100 #mlphelps #knpr #stateofnevada #nevada You may also remove all personal information from your paper and upload it anonymously. If you do not want to contribute to the archive, you may write a 250 to 500-word essay explaining the intent and history of this archival project and upload that in place of the screenshot. TLDR: For extra credit, upload your KNPR paper here: https://covid19.omeka.net/contribution then upload a screenshot of your confirmation page to canvas here: https://unlv.instructure.com/courses/61456/assignments/676624 I need to turn in grades soon, so you only have 24 hours to complete this extra credit. I'm here if you have any questions. Best, Phelps PS: I hope you upload many, many things to this archive, such as journals, explanations of what is going on at work, pictures of empty or strange places, interviews with your parents and friends, etc. I would see us represented. It'll help me if you include #mlphelps in everything you upload. I want to make sure the experience of the individual - you - is not forgotten by history. -
