ARTICLE REVIEW

PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY, ENVR 172

FALL SEMESTER 2016

Assignment

These are the instructions that will help you frame your thoughts on the article, Costa Rica: Paying Mother Nature to Multitask,” that I have scanned for you.

You should have two distinct sections in your critique. The first will simply provide me with a detailed synopsis of what you have read. This section should be approximately two typed pages in length (double-spaced). Since there are many issues or themes exploring a particular topic in the article, you may not be able to adequately critique the entire article thoroughly. You are allowed to write as much as you feel is necessary to adequately cover the content of the article. A portion of your grade will reflect the thoroughness in which you have reviewed the issues presented.

Another portion of your critique will be to provide me with an analysis of the information presented. In this section you will exercise your own opinion in addressing the following. What are your perceptions and initial reactions to what was presented in the article? Do you feel that the problems presented are real or have they been overstated? Do you feel that there are realistic solutions to these problems? If so, what are they? You do not have to rely upon what may have been stated in the article for solutions but can exercise your own original thoughts and ideas. Remember that you will not be graded on what you say but rather how well you express your thoughts and opinions. So take the liberty to say what you feel about what you have reviewed. You should have a minimum of 3 typed pages of text (doubled spaced using 12 point font size) for this section. A minimal amount of effort on your part will yield an average grade. Since this exercise will require considerable effort, I will assign it a total of 20 possible points. Good Luck!

This assignment is due Tuesday, March 15, 2016 @ 3:30 PM. Papers will NOT be accepted late.
