1. On Wednesday, you will undertake the Council on Foreign Relations mini-simulation “A Threat to Taiwan.” In that exercise, you have a specific role within the National Security Council or among outside advisers. In your essay, briefly explain how you performed your assigned role in the simulation, and then focus on how someone in that same role would likely act in the current administration if this crisis actually occurred.
2. Edwards et al. finished writing the 19th edition of the textbook in 2024. Write an addendum to chapter 12, 13, or 14 explaining how events since 2024 have confirmed, disconfirmed, or complicated their analysis.
3. Write on a relevant topic of your choosing, subject to my approval and revision.
The specifications:
- Essays should be typed (12-point), double-spaced, and no more than three pages long. I will not read past the third page.
- Whichever option you choose, draw on course readings as well as outside research into primary and scholarly sources.
- Please submit all papers in this course as Word documents, not Google docs or pdfs.
- Read Strunk & White and my stylesheet (with links to model papers). Watch my writing lecture.
- Cite your sources. Please use endnotes in the format of the Chicago Manual of Style. Endnotes do not count against the page limit. Please do not use footnotes, which take up too much page space.
- Misrepresenting AI-generated content as your own work is plagiarism and will result in severe consequences
- Watch your spelling, grammar, diction, and punctuation. Errors will count against you.
- Return essays to the Canvas dropbox for this class by 11:59 PM, Wednesday, May 6. (If you have trouble with Canvas, simply email it to me as an attached file.) I reserve the right to dock papers one gradepoint for one day’s lateness, a full letter grade after that.
