Component of the US Economy Essay
Component of the US Economy Essay (community college level)
Instructions were given in class on how to write the paper/essay on ONE component of the US economy.
Please know that to get a good grade on this paper, following directions is essential.
Format
2 to 3 pages (if it is 2 pages, it needs to be two full pages, so the title must be small or on a cover page. No more than 3 pages long). DOUBLE spaced.
Title and name. Please put your name on all pages.
Bibliography to INCLUDE your textbook and at least two other sources you used.
Citations for all numbers, quotes, graphs, examples and ideas that aren't your own. It is expected that you will have several citations (it's not possible to write a solid college research paper without citing anything).
Standard fonts and normal margin sizes please!
Content
Discuss one narrow component of the US economy (some examples are: reserve ratios, built in stabilizers, crowding out effect, cost push inflation, multiplier effect, etc.). Do NOT pick a topic that is too broad. You only have 2-3 pages to write and the paper will be too shallow if your
topic is overly broad.
Order your paper logically with an introduction, body and conclusion.
This is not an opinion paper or a persuasive essay. Nor is it a history or sociology paper. It is an explanatory-research piece on ECONOMICS. Imagine you are telling someone who is knowledgeable about basic economics how this aspect of the US economy works.
Use only reputable sites. Do not use politically motivated or opinion sites. Try to use sites that are vetted (use something other than Wikipedia).
Stay factual and use economic terms! Points will be deducted for not using economic terms.
Use examples that are real, not made up. Cite these.
Graphs/charts are not only welcomed, but encouraged. However, they should not be so large that they take up more than a 1/3 of a page. Cite these.
Do not plagiarize. I will run your paper through Safe Assign.
Proofread, proofread, proofread. Having someone help you edit your paper for grammar and spelling mistakes, is not cheating.
