Topic of paper: Texas is the death penalty capital of the democratic world. Yet the state has one of the highest crime rates in the country. You are required to write and submit a paper analyzing a contemporary topic in Texas public policy, selected from a list of several possible topics. This critical thinking paper requires you to focus on and make a judgment about this policy. It is worth up to 200 points, or 20% of your final course grade, depending on quality and quantity. The paper must: Be 4 to 5 pages of content (do not include Works Cited, Endnotes, and Bibliography pages in the page count). Use at least five (5) academic resources (e.g. journal article, government web site, online newspaper, etc.) to support your position. Conform to MLA style when citing sources and composing your Works Cited page. To facilitate grading, all writing assignments must comply with the following guidelines: Papers must be completed as a Word document, using one-inch margins, one-and-one half or double spacing, and size 12 Times Roman or Arial font. Papers must be submitted through SafeAssign (to check for plagiarism) as attachments under the proper eCampus Submission Area by the date and time specified in the class schedule. Papers deviating from these guidelines will be docked 10 points (or more if they radically depart from these guidelines). Writing a paper demands/requires careful thought, writing, and editing on your part. Lean, muscular prose will be highly prized. Rambling, pointless sentences will be penalized. Cardinal grammatical (subject verb disagreement, sentence fragments, etc.) and spelling errors will be docked three (3) points each. A simple use of spell and grammar check, a process taking mere minutes, will save you many points. Go to the Assignment area below for the topics from which to select and to submit your paper after it is completed. Warning: Academic dishonesty is a very serious matter and will not be tolerated in this class. In all writing assignments, any quotations used must be in quotation marks and the source cited. Close paraphrasing of others ideas should also be appropriately cited. Use SafeAssign to check your work for plagiarism before submitting it. Any plagiarized paper, which includes work that is not your own and that does not properly identify quotes, will receive a grade of zero (0). See the DCCCD policy Academic Dishonesty and Student Code of Conduct on page 10 for additional information and possible consequences.
