The Trump Administrations Legacy in Environmental Matters

cite a minimum of five references (sources) in the paper and include a works cited page
at the end of the assignment to provide full bibliographic information
for each of the references that was cited in the text of the paper.

• Provide a thorough, but brief, summary of the political issue. An
  understanding of the issue should be developed by reading the articles
  uncovered during research for the assignment. The information provided
  in the summary will lay the foundation for you to react and respond to
  (analyze) the political issue. Be sure to properly cite within
  the text (according to MLA style) any information that you obtained from
  one of your sources. Citations must be provided, even for paraphrased
  information.
• Present your perspective on the political issue. Think critically
  about the topic discussed in the articles and clearly express your
  thoughts about it in writing. Consider eight standards for critical
  thinking (Paul and Elder, 2103): clarity, accuracy, precision,
  relevance, depth, breadth, logic, and fairness. Ask questions, such as
  1. How can I validate the accuracy of my statement?
  2. How is this information relevant?
  3. How does my conclusion address the complexities of the issue?
  4. What is another interpretation or viewpoint of the issue?
  5. Does my conclusion follow from the data and/or statements I have provided?

Grading will be based on the following criteria:

• Critical Thinking Skills: the extent to which you have engaged in
  critical thinking, innovation, and inquiry of a political issue, and has
  demonstrated analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information related
  to the political issue;
• Communication Skills: the extent to which you have effectively expressed ideas in writing;
• Personal Responsibility: the ability you have to develop opinions
  related to a political topic, and recognize the consequences of those
  choices and decisions;
• Social Responsibility: the ability you have to demonstrate civic
  responsibility and engagement by developing an understanding and
  perspective of a political issue that affects regional, national, and
  potentially global communities.
