Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

 
please follow the instruction i posted. thank you again.

Points Possible 10

1. Please note, full instructions for this assignment type are available here (opens in a new window).
   1. The assignment involves locating and analyzing a newsarticle that contains geological content that is relevant to course concepts. “News” implies an article that is recent – within the last two months if possible but no older than seven months without permission.
   2. Complete your assignment by using the template form attached to the assignment.
   3. Please avoid articles that deal with Vancouver or your chosen research area. If you find stories about Vancouver or your research area, please post these to the General Discussion.
   4. Articles should be substantive:
      1. Length should be beyond a few paragraphs.
      2. Ensure that the source is reputable; traditional newspapers and press agencies will be your best source.
      3. Please ensure that you use a news article, not a press release. A press release is a summary that originates with the organization that is responsible for the story content – in essence, they report on themselves. A number of organizations, including universities, issue press releases upon completion of a research project or publication of an article in a journal. So do mining companies. Avoid these, please.
      4. Do not use blogs, National Geographic News, or Science Daily.
   5. For GeoNews Assignment 2, please draw from content, concepts and learning objectives of course modules 4-6.
   6. For each entry, you are asked to:
      1. Cite the source of the article (please use APA format).
      2. Briefly summarize the article content.
      3. Reflect on the relevance of the article content to the concepts and learning objectives of the specified modules.
      4. Analyse the geological content of the article, identifying and synthesizing those geological principles and processes which are intrinsic to understanding the implications of what is reported.
      5. Analyse the geological setting/situation of the area that you are reporting upon and compare and contrast it to Vancouver and your Geoscape Project location.
   7. Please note all assignment submission times are in Pacific Time.
