The Signature Assignment assesses the following General Education Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) Demonstrate competent written communication skills. Demonstrate technological and informational literacy by locating disparate information through multiple sources. Because the development of informational literacy and effective writing skills are key learning outcomes of the General Education Program (see #1 and #5 above), each student will select a research topic from one of the textbook chapters and write a scholarly, 4-5 page paper (not including the required cover page or references pages). Students should select a specific topic from the course that may be framed in the form of a question. The student then researches the topic from a minimum of 3 authoritative literature sources in seeking to answer the topic question. (The text is not considered an appropriate literature resource for your paper.) The paper is written to report on that research and offer answer(s) to the original question. Upload your paper to Blackboard by the 8th week class meeting.
