Instructions

Directions:  Your final paper topic needs to be well thought out.  Make sure to include why you are proposing your topic, the perspectives you plan to include, and the pros / cons of the topic.  Below are a good and bad example of a proposed topic.  

Two important points:

1. Do not email me your topics.  You must submit the assignment in Brightspace.

2. Do not suggest multiple topics and ask for my opinion.  You must select a topic on your own.   

Good & Bad Submission Example:

· Good Example:  For my final paper I want to write about nuclear power.  I believe there are positive and negative benefits of using nuclear power vs. other forms of energy generation.  There is a lot of research to support both sides of the debate.  It is important to reduce pollutants that cause negative societal outcomes and I believe nuclear power can be part of the solution.

· Bad Example:  For my final paper topic I will write about nuclear power because it's interesting and it's part of the future.
