.  Term Paper (25% of your final grade) You will need to choose a topic by midterm. Using the knowledge learned in this class, I am expecting at least a 5-pagepaper (double-spaced, 11-point Times New Roman Font, normal margins) AND a cover sheet.  You will choose a current event as a topic to analyze economically.  Some examples: the impact of to the United States for having stricter environmental/labor laws than other nations? Should the United States drill for their own oil (versus buying from the Middle East)? Should the United States add tariffs to certain imported products (pick a certain type of product)? Should the United States be exporting their minerals overseas (for example, phosphate)? Should the United States be using their land to grow food, timber, and raise cattle for export to other countries?  Should foreigners be allowed to buy land within the United States?  This is your chance to pick a Macroeconomic topic that interests YOU. This is NOT a political science class.  I am interested on how you economically justify your viewpoint.  I am looking for referenced data and the proper use of key terms.  (Include LOTS of key terms.)  I am letting you choose a topic that interests you; however, this is NOT a social media rant. I will NOT allow numerous papers on the same topic with the same viewpoint.  The student who submits their topic to me first, will be allowed to proceed.  Future students will be asked to choose another topic.
