Assignments are due by the beginning of class time on the day listed.
You are going to take a position on an issue, preferably something that holds some interest for you, and you will support this position with research. You may want to focus on a particular issue or problem that has been raised in one of your classes or your freshman seminar. No topics will be allowed without my explicit approval. If you change your topic without my explicit approval, you will receive an F for the assignment. You will want to make sure that your thesis statement presents a position that is actually debatable, at least in some context.
