The Writing Assignments

Let me remind you of two important requirements for your writing assignment:

- Above the body of each post (but below the title), you need to write your thesis statement for your post

- One reference must be a 2019 Wall Street Journal article

I added these requirements to the instructions below. Please read them carefully.

1. You have to use Canvas (https://canvas.colorado.edu/) to turn in your writing assignment. In order to receive credits, you must submit your writing NOT ONLY to "Assignments" folder BUT ALSO to "Discussions" folder at the same time. Failure to submit your assignment to both folders would lead to no grade.

2. Your blog post in "Assignments" folder allows for automatic plagiarism check. Students who plagiarize will fail will get an failing grade. I will write a short comment on your writing. Your classmates can't see my comments on your writing.

3. Your blog post in "Discussions" folder helps your classmates read your writing. By clicking "Reply," you can write blog posts in "Discussions" folder. Please write comments on other blog posts written by your classmates.

4. For full credits, your blog posts must satisfy several requirements: 

- Between 400 and 600 words long

- Must link to at least 2 other sources. One of those two sources must be a 2019 Wall Street Journal article. The citation protocol in blogging is that you should have a functioning link AND enough information that the source can be googled if the link breaks

- Above the body of each post (but below the title), you need to write your thesis statement for your post

- Any writings that fail to meet these requirements can't receive full credits. 

- Sample blog posts can be found at https://blog.supplysideliberal.com/intermediate-macro/2017/12/31/student-guest-posts-on-supplysideliberalcom

5. Your blog post will be due at 11pm on every Sunday. For example, the due date of your first assignment is 11pm, January 27. Late submission will get zero point. So don't wait until the last minute. 

6. Please read the following articles:
