Overview
This quiz is a low-stakes, high-specificity check. I am not looking for a perfectly polished essay. I am looking for evidence that you completed the reading and engaged with the concepts. Use the rubric to ensure you've hit the required markers. You may use online tools to search for relevant examples when applicable, but AI use for responding to questions directly is prohibited.
Instructions:
- Evidence:
- You must provide a specific page number and source for every concept mentioned. You may be asked to use a short quote from the text or paraphrase the text and cite the section you paraphrased in your own words.
- Anti-Generalization:
- Avoid broad definitions. Use the specific terminology of the authors.
- Specificity:
- Do not use your limited space to define the terms. Assume I know what it is and instead, tell me how it applies to the specific paragraph in your own words. If you spend your word count defining terms, you will lose points for lack of specificity.
- Week Relevance:
- Include one sentence tying in a specific point made in that week’s Discussion Board or Video Lecture, so I know you are engaging with the materials.
- Word Count: 200-300 words total.
In Here’s To Flint, residents repeatedly challenge official claims that the water is safe.
