UST 289 Fall, 2016 Assignment is due September 7, 2016

Citation assignment, Fall, 2016

This assignment will assist you in learning how to cite sources correctly. This

assignment is designed to clear up any citation issues you might have before you

submit your application assignments where correct citation is required. Be sure to

double space, spell and grammar check your finished paper before submitting it to me.

This is a short exercise consisting of 3 parts. You will use two quotations in the first

part, paraphrase the material in the second part, and add a picture for the third and last

part. All three are to have correct citations. You will also do a works cited “reference”

page for the assignment as well. For all of this assignment, use the links that I have

provided as your references.

You will be graded primarily on the accuracy of your citations. However, be sure

your answers are also correct regarding the material since they also will be taken into

account.

1. Answer the following questions using the links below. Within your answer use two

direct quotations from the material found in the links.

Each year Lake Erie has what is called an “algae bloom”. What is an algae bloom?

What is meant by “overfeeding”? How does this happen? What does a harmful algae

bloom (HAB) kill? Does it have an effect on humans? What other industry outside of

agriculture can be linked to creating conditions that would allow algae to grow? How

does their industry do this?

forecast for 2016? As of August, 2016 is there a bloom on the Lake? Where is it? How

big is it? Is it a threat to health? What are some of the reasons why this bloom might

not be as severe as in 2014?

Citations are required for all 3 of the requirements for this assignment. If you are

unsure how to do citations, please go to the links below. You will also need a works

cited page that shows all citations for all three questions as well.
