Green Concrete

Green Concrete

Project description
The essay will be an individual assignment of 1100-1200 words, and the topic will be related to the students major. Students will develop their own research question and select the essay genre from a range of formats presented. Maximum of 2 quotes permitted (15 words each). The number of sources used should be 4-6 (more than 6 sources used will result in a penalty); including one QU database and one book or e-book. All sources must be current within 20 years.
Week 15 Day 2 Must be submitted in paper form to teacher and e-copy to Safe Assign as well the pages from the original sources from which a student paraphrased must be printed or photocopied (with the paraphrased text high-lighted) and stapled to the back of the TP2.
A TP2 that is missing either a Safe Assign Submission or high-lighted original texts will not be graded.
