Describing the Selected Environmental Issue

Review “Course Final Report: Overall Project Review.” This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment. For Task 1, identify one environmental issue that has impacted you or someone you know. The issue that you pick will be the topic for your course final report. For help in selecting topics, refer to “Suggestions for Environmental Topics.” To successfully complete task 1, do the following:

1. Briefly describe the selected environmental issue.
2. State your initial position on the issue in one to two paragraphs.
3. Find three articles that support your position.
4. List all the references at the end of the report according to the guidelines found in the GCU Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.Write a 1000-1500-word essay addressing each of the following points. Be sure to completely answer all the questions for each bullet point. There should be two main sections, one for each bullet below. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper.

   Support your ideas with at least three (3) sources using citations in your essay. Make sure to cite using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page in correct APA do not count towards the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

   Length: 1000-1500 words; answers must thoroughly address the prompts in a clear, concise manner.

   You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

   Use a standard 10-to-12-point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

   Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
