Please look at the attached template to follow and answer the questions. The submitted examination will be checked for plagiarism and AI-generated responses through ChatGPT. Students are expected to provide their own responses to the short answer and essay questions. The examination is set up to exclude the question prompts and directions automatically. Thus, any reported plagiarism score above 15% will be investigated for potential academic dishonesty. Each short answer question is worth 5 points, and each essay question is worth 25 points. Examination #3 is worth a total of 125 points (5x5 + 25x4) Students are expected to provide at minimum three sentences per short answer question. Each essay should be a minimum three paragraphs in length. Paragraphs are expected to be six to eight sentences in length. Students who fall below the three-paragraph minimum per essay will lose points. Each essay response must include substantive material from the readings and the power points/lectures. Any ideas or material taken from the course readings MUST be paraphrased and properly cited using either MLA or APA styles of citation. This means that there should be no direct quotations. Here is an example of a proper citation: (Mingst, pg 2). Students who fail to properly cite will be marked down, at minimum half points. There are a few questions where the information only comes from class discussion. For those few questions, please cite the lecture power point: (Introduction to Globalization, slide 2). Do not substitute the power point slides for citations from the readings when available. Students will be marked down for substituting slide citations when unnecessary.
