Short Analysis on COVID-19 in Essay or Video Presentation

(26% of semester grade):

You are required to analyze cases you came across during the COVID-19 pandemic using the concepts, models, theories that you have learned from the course. You will need to connect COVID with at least one key topic, including key concepts, key models, key theories, that are taught in this course. Please submit to the Assignment folder on Sakai. You can work individually or in a group of up to 3 members if you want to work with a group at all.

It is open now and due on 5/12/2021.

Two Strategies for COVID-19 Analysis:

• Depth: one topic, one model, or even one concept, but with lots of cases and data to support your view or test your hypotheses.
• Width: multiple topics/models/concepts, each with sufficient examples/cases to explain the key terms. This is particularly powerful if you used concepts/models across different weeks’ topics.
• It does not have to be long. 3-5 pages excluding graphs, tables, appendix, and before references should be good enough.

Tips for a well-argued COVID-19 Analysis:

• Direct to the point on your research questions/hypotheses or directly answer the questions
• Well organized: each section has a central meaning with a topic sentence or key concepts at the beginning or in bold font.
• Bold your key terms
• Define your terms first
• Well-referenced for cases cited data sources, literature cited, theories and methods adopted, etc. Please use APA or Chicago or MLA style.
• Proofread and check plagiarism.
