Assignment Two EXSC 224 Fall 2022 The purpose of this assignment is to acquaint you with explaining answers in their own thoughts using appropriate terminology (i.e., paraphrase). All answers should be in paragraph form. We will NOT accept bulleted answers. You are strongly encouraged to use the language of the course, too. Your responses will be evaluated based on the following: Is the answer well-structured/organized? (15%) Is it easy to read? (15%) Is it accurate? (45%) Is the answer thorough (Are there any glaring omissions)? (25%) Please keep in mind all the above can be condensed into – Do you effectively, thoroughly and accurately convey the answer to the question? Scores will not be given just for turning in the assignment. The TA’s will use a rubric to evaluate your answers and score points. You may view the rubric in blackboard. You will receive feedback for each question on how you did or did not fulfill the requirements. Blackboard will provide you with an Originality Report. Higher values suggest less originality. I do not have any hard-fast interpretations of the report. Plagiarism is a complex, but also a serious ethical issue. I encourage you to visit the following site to read more about plagiarism and how to prevent from plagiarizing. http://www.plagiarism.org/plagiarism-101/what-is-plagiarism/. One way to avoid plagiarism is to provide the source(s) you used to obtain your information after each question or scenario. Your textbook is a good source. I also encourage you to consider other sources, too. We will accept websites as sources; however, you are responsible for the accuracy of your responses. Not all websites provide accurate information or are appropriate sources. I urge you to be cautious as poorly chosen sources may result in the loss of points. In text citations are not necessary. DO NOT reference my lectures! I expect that you will use a standard reference format for all references. For purposes of this assignment DO NOT quote someone else and then cite them. Quotations should be used extremely sparingly in any context but is generally inappropriate when answering questions for assignments. Submit your answers in a PDF document via Safeassign in Blackboard. 1. Samuel was struck by a car while crossing Assembly Street. He suffered a bilateral transection of the spinal cord at T11.
