Problem:
Topic: Rewilding and Species Reintroduction
Why: I love the idea of rewilding - bringing back species like wolves or bison to restore ecosystems. The Yellowstone wolf story shows how one species can change a whole landscape.
Writing about this would let me explore both the science and the human side, since not everyone loves the idea of predators coming back
Students will write an 3-4 page blog (it can be longer but should not exceed 5 pages) on an Environmental Science topic that interests them. The Instructor will approve the topic on a first come basis to be fair and all students must choose different topics. The paper must be in APA or CSE format, double spaced, 12 font, and follow proper citation rules for in-text citations and the literature cited sections. Students must use at least 1 primary literature sources. There is no limit as to the number of sources a student can use as long as they are properly cited. Students are not expected to pay for articles and if the student really wants an article, they can email the instructor an email to see if the instructor has access. Sources such as wikipedia and web MD may not be used as valid sources or cited in the paper, but they can be used to determine what direction a student wants to go including but not limited to pointing to scientific literature, review articles, and primary journal articles. Papers will be evaluated for accuracy, complete concepts, supported opinions, proper citations, and grammar and mechanics.
Some tips: Make sure it flows and is an easy read. You want to engage your reader. It is important to cite your information using both intent citations and a literature cited section at the end. Make sure you paraphrase and not copy paste sections of your literature sources. That is plagiarism. I have had students in the past plagiarize whether it be accidental or not. This is one are where you could lose serious points. Watch out for spelling and grammatical errors. Feel free to ask me additional questions. I hope this helps. Need Assignment Help?
