Title: “The Manufactured Scientific Controversy of Climate Change: Examining the Impact of Alternative Facts on Public Understanding”

nstructions
This should be a document containing a working thesis statement, detailed outline, and one 2 – 3 page section of your Researched Argument paper. (This section doesn’t need to be the introduction of your paper; it can be from a body section if you like.)
For this assignment, you will write a research-based, persuasive essay answering a research question. Remember, this research question should be relevant to our course theme of “Manufactured Scientific Controversy” or “alternative facts” as they relate to science, meaning that it should have to do in some way with public understandings of science and its impacts on our lives. The target audience for this paper are the readers of “Better Understandings of Science,” a prospective interdisciplinary journal that will publish the best scientific writing from Middle Georgia State University students. Therefore, your audience is an educated audience but not specific to any particular discipline. You will need to think about how to make your topic relevant and your arguments persuasive to this audience.
Assignment Objectives:
This assignment is intended to examine your progress toward the written communication and information literacy learning goals, which essentially seeks to achieve the following:
demonstrate the extent of information needed in order to make an argument.
demonstrate your ability to access the needed information for any purpose.
evaluate information and sources through your use of the basic criteria (purpose, authority, and currency) and to select sources that are appropriate to the information you need (e.g., your research question).
use information ethically by attributing information you use from outside sources.
Specifications
Your researched argument should have a clear thesis—that is, the essay should “take a side” on an issue or problem.
You should fairly represent multiple perspectives of the issue under consideration (e.g., address counterarguments or acknowledge limitations).
You should use at least 5 credible (and mostly scholarly) secondary sources to support, qualify, or complicate an argument through summary, paraphrase, and/or direct quotation.
At a minimum, three of your sources must be drawn from a subscription-based library database (e.g., ProQuest).
The paper should be 2500 – 3000 words long (about 10 – 12 double spaced pages in a standard, 12-point font with one-inch margins).
The paper and references should be in APA format.
