For this assignment you are to chose 1 candidate who is running for office. I picked the president which is Biden. In your paper you must: provide some background on the candidate (e.g. their experience such as is this their first elected position? have they held office before? Qualifications?), and what their position is on 2 issues. This can be any 2 issues–ones they talk about a lot, ones important to them/their constituents/you, ones easy to find.
formatting: 4-5 pages, double spaced, 12 point Times New Roman Font with 1 inch margins all around. Works Cited does NOT count towards the page requirement. Title pages are optional but do NOT count towards the page requirement. The 4-5 pages is strictly based on content.
You should aim to have 3 credible sources. I do not care what style of citations you use internally in your paper as long as you have them and are consistent. An easy style is Chicago in-text citations. After you make a reference to someone’s work you use last name year of publication and page number if it’s a direct quote (Gregory, 2022). You MUST have internal citations.
I will be graded on accuracy of information (based on the sources you use) and the quality of writing.
For example: an “A” paper will:
address all parts of the prompt while being well organized and free of any major grammatical error. Paper has
consist citations throughout the paper and a works cited page/bibliography on the sources used.
