Assignment 1: Argument Mapping
cassy101Hello Class,
I hope that everyone is having a good day so far. Some of you have emailed me re- Assignment 1
1. How do I meet the 4-page requirement?
Answer: By providing an overview of the topic and an explanation of the two maps that are required for this assignment. There is also a 1-page critical analysis of the Bosnia case that you all need to accomplish.
2. Do I need an actual map?
Answer: Yes, please check the rubric. Examples of an actual map can be found in Chapter 3 and 8 of the text. I am also providing a video to further guide you on this assignment. A detailed discussion on the actual mapping process and its parts can be viewed in this video:

3. Are there 2 separate assignments?
Answer: No, there is only one assignment but there are two parts. One is about the speed limit and the other is about the Bosnia case.
4. The key in this and all your other assignments is for you to read the assignment rubric and comply with each element.
5. Any software that will help you with the boxes and arrows is acceptable as long as it works for you. So you may use MS Word, Powerpoint, etc.
Remember that I will be checking the similarity ratings of your paper via SafeAssign so please cite all your sources.
Let me know if any of you need help. My lines are open ( please don't call after 8 pm).
Best,
