Paper details:
This assignment consists of a paper on a topic of your choosing related to the themes of our course, particularly the linkages between globalization and the environment. The assignment should have a clear thesis statement with well-researched arguments that support the thesis. Scholarly sources should be used. It is to be adequately documented (footnotes or parenthetical citations).
In general, papers will be graded in three categories: analysis, writing, and mechanics:Analysis: the use of evidence (primary or secondary data) to construct a credible analytical argument. The argument must be clearly stated in your paper, and must be supported by research evidence and organized in a coherent, logical manner. Your analysis should display: broad understanding of the subject matter; insight into the aspect of the subject you focus on; awareness of counter-arguments; and originality of thought.Writing: clarity of expression. This involves using a formal writing style, terminology that will be understood by the reader, and a structure that ensures the reader can follow the development of the argument. Organizing the paper into paragraphs and sub-sections can often help the reader follow the argument more closely.Mechanics: details of writing and formatting, including punctuation, spelling, tables and figures, referencing (according to the journal style), and absence of minor factual errors.
