The first four sections described below cannot be any<br \/>\nlonger than 4 pages. Use 1-inch margins, 12-point font and 1.5 line spacing throughout your paper.<br \/>\nBe concise. Include your name in the page header and in the filename. Number your pages in the<br \/>\nfooter of each page.<br \/>\nLabel the first section of your paper, \u201cGeneral Description\u201d. Its contents should be: What issue are<br \/>\nyou examining? Define the issue clearly, including the scope of the issue as you intend to examine it.<br \/>\nWhy is the issue important? Include as much contextual information about your issue as you can, but do so concisely.<br \/>\nLabel the second section of your paper, \u201cIn-Depth Description\u201d. For this part of your paper, assume<br \/>\nthe reader has enough knowledge of environmental science to understand any technical aspects of<br \/>\nyour issue. Fully describe the state of your issue. What is known about the issue? What questions are<br \/>\nstill unanswered? What progress has been made in solving problems related to the issue? What<br \/>\nchallenges exist in solving remaining problems?<br \/>\nLabel the third section of your paper, \u201cPossible Solutions\u201d. Develop and describe two solutions to<br \/>\none or more components of your issue that incorporate the best available scientific and technical<br \/>\ninformation. You should focus on elements of the \u201cTools for Change\u201d exercise we did in class. You<br \/>\nmust identify the specific problem(s) you are addressing, the approach you are proposing to solve the<br \/>\nproblem(s), and the expected outcomes. It is important that your solutions are realistic. Do not<br \/>\npropose solutions that rely upon very unlikely events, highly speculative technological developments,<br \/>\nor unreasonable\/one-sided agreements between interested groups. Please don\u2019t suggest that simply<br \/>\nmore awareness of your issue will solve its problems. Do describe aspects of the overall issue not<br \/>\naddressed by your solutions and\/or ways in which your solutions might prove complex or<br \/>\nproblematic. Speculate on how progress might be made to address unresolved challenges. Note: We<br \/>\nunderstand that this is an introductory course and that you may not know all of the details of your<br \/>\nissue. That\u2019s ok. Your solution won\u2019t be graded so much on whether it will succeed \u2013 just that it\u2019s a<br \/>\nwell-thought-out approach to solving the issue.<br \/>\nLabel the fourth section of your paper \u201cSynthesis\u201d. Synthesize the information you have provided. A<br \/>\nsynthesis is an analysis of information that answers the question, \u201cWhat does this mean?\u201d Avoid<br \/>\nrepeating themes and information from the first two paragraphs in favor of critical examination of<br \/>\nthem. For example, I might present a lot of information about climate change and its possible<br \/>\nsolutions, but my synthesis is an opportunity to put that information in a wider context and\/or to<br \/>\nhighlight why readers should care about the issue. This is also an appropriate place to identify<br \/>\nresearch questions you would like to see explored on this topic in the future. There is no \u201cright\u201d<br \/>\nanswer in this section, so long as you are engaging thoughtfully with your topic. (Tip: Don&#8217;t add a lot<br \/>\nof new information here. Instead, this is an opportunity to integrate the different perspectives on your<br \/>\ntopic discussed above and to present a more complete understanding of the issue and possible<br \/>\nsolutions.)<br \/>\nYou must cite all non-original information. Nonoriginal information means anything non-obvious<br \/>\nthat you learned from another source. So you would not need to provide a citation for a statement<br \/>\nlike, \u201cthe sky is blue,\u201d but you would need to cite any nonoriginal opinions, data, or other<br \/>\ninformation about your topic. Citations are not subject to the 4 page limit. Use the style guide<br \/>\ndeveloped by the American Chemical Society (ACS Style Guide available at:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/libguides.williams.edu\/citing\/acs) for all citations.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Describing and Suggesting Solutions DescriptionOrganizational Format Use the organizational format described below.
