I post two files: the first one for instruction and the other for question and my instructor warming
Question:
Please answer the question presented below in at least 500 ORIGINAL words. Answers should be
submitted as WORD DOCUMENTS to the appropriate and corresponding 'Critical Engagement Exercise 3'
drop box on this e-Learn course site no later than 11:59PM on this Monday, June 20.
NOTE: please read and understand the warning I posted in the News Item below about assignment
submissions. You have each and all been warned. If you need clarification about this assignment, then
please contact me before Friday at 12PM or visit my regularly scheduled office hours (Tues/Thurs 3:00-
4:30PM).
The question for this week is as follows:
What were some of the key problems facing the United States and the Early Republic following
independence? Use specific examples.
Warning:
For the most part, the assignments I received for Critical Engagement Exercise 1 were of decent quality--
-though I expect to see gradual improvements in each of your academic writing skills as we progress
through the semester based on my feedback regarding your work.
There were, however, enough violations of course policies to warrant this intervention on my part
before issuing the instructions for Critical Engagement Exercise 2.
Firstly, if you plagiarize anything in any of your assignments then you will automatically receive a "0-F"
grade for the assignment. If you plagiarize a second time on any of your assignments, then you will
automatically fail the entire course and be referred to the Dean of Students.
If you are not clear on what exactly plagiarism is or what constitutes it, then you should have read the
syllabus more thoroughly----as well as the Student Handbook here at TSU before becoming a student
here. Plagiarism violates international intellectual property and copyright laws---enforced by the
Executive Branch of the Federal Government of the United States, participating member countries of the
World Trade Organization (formerly GATT), and Interpol.
Secondly, some of you submitted a different assignment than the one announced for Critical
Engagement Exercise 1 under 'News' on the right side of the course homepage here on e-Learn. What
some of you decided to do was to get help from other students I have taught in past semesters; those of
you who did this, did the wrong assignment.
You will receive 0 credit for this assignment, and the Instructor is insulted and offended that you are
utilizing the e-Learn sites of former students rather than following the course content on your own e-
Learn course page for THIS SEMESTER. You should not be accessing other students' e-Learn pages, and
doing so will do you no good in this class. Simply put, it is a path to failure in and of itself.
Thirdly, you must submit all of your written assignments for this course as WORD DOCUMENTS and to
the appropriate dropbox as WORD DOCUMENTS. No exceptions will be allowed going forward. This is
not my rule, but rather the nature of e-Learn itself. Improperly submitted assignments will not receive
full credit going in the future.
The dropbox for Critical Engagement Exercise 1 is now closed---and it will not be reopened under any
circumstances that do not involve a doctor's note excusing you from being able to complete an
assignment with a week's notice.
Please consult the 'News' feature on this course homepage to obtain the instructions for Critical
Engagement Exercise 2. Please take special note that I will be giving the class the questions for the
Midterm Examination in class tonight. I will only be administering the questions in class; not via email;
not by posting them on e-Learn. They will be administered in class only...unless you have a documented
medical excuse.
