Assignment2 – Geographic Issues in Europe
GEOGRAPHY OF EUROPE
University of Florida, Department of Geography
GEA 3500
Your Topic: Europe Will Never Be Integated.
You will be assigned an issue and a “side” to argue outlined in Tiersky, R., & Jones, E., (eds.), (2015) “Europe today, A twenty-first century Introduction”, 5th Edition, Roman and Littlefield, Plymouth, UK. ISBN 978-1-4422-2110-9. The book is on reserve in the Marston Science Library.
Each Issue assigned represents a Chapter in the text. While the “side” assigned may not be exactly the content of the Chapter, the text will provide you with the background information and basis for developing both your group (or individual) presentation and your paper.
Assignment 2a
– The bulk of this assignment will be your summarization of the issue, outline of arguments and your development of a reaction based on your assigned issue in conjunction with outside sources (at least 4, appropriately referenced). You should conclude with your final reaction to the assigned issue and side. You may agree with the position assigned, disagree, remain skeptical or report a breakthrough in your opinion. The written portion is an individual assignment worth 15% of your grade.
