Motivation
• This is an assignment designed to assist students in developing their critical thinking skills and to also develop their research skills
by helping them to answer questions they have.
• This assignment counts towards the Critical Thinking Skills learning goal and also in part towards the Literacy Development
learning goal.
• This homework allows students to continue working on their ability to ask questions (which was something we started in class in a
group exercise.)
• Success in this assignment is a high proficiency assignment.
Academic Integrity Statement
Students are to do their own work and are not to either copy their answers from other students or directly from sources. All writing, unless
noted, is expected to be rephrased by the student. There should be no direct quoting when describing cultural references or historical
figures. (One does have to copy the sentence in the book for each vocabulary word, historical figure, or cultural reference.)
The exception is that with the 10 Vocabulary words, definitions may be directly copied from COCA but it must be clearly sourced.
Source Quality
Students are to make it clear where their sources were found so that someone else can find the same source.
Additionally, students are to use their best judgement in picking quality sources. It is expected that many sources can be found directly via
the internet or through UA library databases.
