Issue Analysis Website Due Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Weight: 35% of the Final Mark

The purpose of this assignment is two-fold:


 * 1) To write and issue analysis paper about a topic discussed in-class based on a chapter from either of the two textbooks; and,
 * 2) To present this paper in the form of a website.

Part One (Weighted at 20% of the Final Mark):

An issue analysis paper should present a discussion on a top and present a clear topic and draw a concise conclusion, This is not a paper where you produce your own thesis, but rather a collaboration of existing information from sources to construct a viewpoint on a chosen topic. While this may contain a bias from the articles you choose to review, it should not contain your own points of view -- although you are allowed to reflect on your own experiences to connect ideas.

This paper must be:


 * Approximately 6 pages long, double-spaced at a 12pt, font with one-inch margins
 * Contain both a cover page and list of references (not included in the 6 pages)
 * Use correct citation in the MLA format
 * Reference the original article or chapter from the text
 * Reference at least two peer-reviewed papers
 * Be handed in at the beginning of class on the due date

Remember:


 * WikiPedia is not a valid academic reference -- although it is a great stepping-stone to find information about topic you are not familiar with. Be sure to follow any citations and make conclusions from those referenced articles and not WikiPedia itself.
 * It is considered plagiarism to copy work from other paper and not cite them properly. If at any point you are unsure how to reference something, consult the References and Citations (coming soon) page or e-mail with your question.

Part Two (Weighted at 15% of the Final Mark):

Utilizing content from the labs and focusing on your expectations from your executive summary, create a website presentation of your written assignment.

This should contain, at the very least:


 * Separate pages for each section of your paper
 * A list of references linked to sources on the web (if applicable)
 * Links and images of pertinent information related to your topic.
 * Provide a link on this wiki (page to be determined) to your paper for other to review
 * Be available online by end of class on the due date (if you are having any final issues, the end of that day can be used for questions)
