Instructions
Students are required write a current event essay in which they analyze an article and relate it to course topics. Students will need to find an article (Economist, Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, etc.) and write a three-page essay (Times New Roman, double-spaced, 12 point font, and one-inch margins) relating the article to topics discussed in the course. The article must be cited in the essay.
Articles MUST be published during the dates of the course in order to be considered “current”. Articles published before the start date of the course will not be accepted unless arrangements are made prior to submissions. Papers analyzing old articles will receive zero points.
Times New Roman is specific to Microsoft Word. If you are using a different word processing system, please select a similar font. Students will be graded on their ability to follow directions and articulate how course topics relate to their article of choice. Late essays will not be accepted. The essay is worth 50 points. Students can anticipate feedback and score within 7 days of due date.
Be sure to review the rubric below so you know the structure of the paper. Ask questions early if you are confused or need clarification.
