This essay assignment requires that you apply the concepts and ideas we have covered throughout the semester to understand the US government’s response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. You must reference the relevant readings from throughout the semester to inform your answers to the questions below.
The assignment is a longer essay that is designed to test your ability to apply your knowledge of government and politics to a concrete, real world situation. I am grading you based on your understanding of the assigned readings, so rely on the textbook to inform your responses.
You may address any aspect of government or politics that we have covered this semester that you feel is relevant to answering the questions, but you must rely on the assigned readings from the course for your answers unless noted otherwise. This means you need specific citations that support your answers from any of the assigned textbook readings that you feel are relevant to your response.
The essay must be 600 – 750 words in length, which is approximately three pages of double-spaced text.
Describe plagiarism in a 100 – 150 paragraph. Be sure to provide examples of how plagiarism is punished in higher education
