Assignment

I would like to give you the opportunity to rework this assignment submission.  There are notes on the attached word document. 

Please label your dropbox files using the initial of your first name, your last name – the class code – the module number.  This week’s label should read: T.Coring-CJ493-2

Please proofread your work.

Please use the required Title page format for this class. It is posted in the NEWS section of the classroom.

Undergraduate work for first year students, is expected to have a word count of 250 words for each essay.  Fourth year students should increase their word count for essay responses to 350-400 words per essay.  If the assignment expectations do not state the word count expectation, I, as an instructor revert to 250 words per essay. 

Consider writing your essays as if a stranger, without any access to the essay or scenario, is picking up your work and reading it.  The introduction should include sufficient information to inform the reader of what you are going to discuss and the background of what you have researched and are reporting. Then, write a factual paragraph responding to the essay question.  A third paragraph is applicable if you want to include your opinion or a current event that was in the news (local, state, national or world-wide).  Cite all of the sources you use in both paragraphs Then, close out with a conclusion that blends the introductions and the information from your factual (and opinion) paragraph.  This format will help your essays flow better and will build your word count. 

Section titles:  Section titles can come in two different formats.  Both are in bold.  Section titles which use a few words, like a title, should be in bold, and centered.  If you decide to use the entire question as a section title, remove the question number from it, bold it, and make the entire question left margin.  If you use the entire question, remember the content of the question does not count toward the word count expectation, and it will bring up your similarity score.  While I will examine the similarity score in your paper, some professors will not.  This week you numbered your responses. 

The classes are set up to take information from scholarly reading material. Whether it is your textbook or provided reading material or other media, the contents of your essays should contain information from this scholarly material and other research sources you find on your own.  Cite your sources.  And each essay should have scholarly sources cited, that you used to support what you are saying in your essays.

Undergraduate assignment submissions are expected to have a minimum of three scholarly sources.

I will accept a resubmission of this assignment, without any late penalty assessed no later than March 2, 2021 at 11:59pm PST.
