Using your previously selected National Wildlife Refuge’s Comprehensive Conserva
Using your previously selected National Wildlife Refuge’s Comprehensive Conservation Plan, create a PowerPoint presentation (other formats by Instructor permission only) of approximately 25-35 slides with the primary goals of:
Describing the site using the grading criteria at the bottom of this page
Describing the CCP itself
Critiquing and analyzing the plan using information gathered from peer-reviewed primary scientific literature, government reports, and course materials.
The vast majority of your points on this project come from the critique and analysis. Critique and analysis means that you look at each type of management being done at your site and evaluated it in light of peer-reviewed primary scientific research and course materials. You will use your Assignments 1-3 to aid your creation of this part of the presentation.
You should have 5-10+ sources and you must also cite them on each slide (APA style) and on one of your final slides, which should be a References slide. Your references should include our textbook and your management plan as well as the 5 peer-reviewed primary scientific papers from Assignment 3, government and NGO reports, and other appropriately scholarly material. Don’t forget that you must cite the sources of your images as well as your data/information.
Important Submission Instructions: Title your file in this way: Smith_EVSP413FinalProject.pptx and attach the PowerPoint File here in this Assignment area (any other format should be submitted as .pdf).
Turnitin will run automatically. It will return to you (after time for processing) a percentage which tells you the similarity of your work to that of others (or your own previous work) regardless if cited properly. Greater than about 30% of properly cited similarity means that less than 3/4 of the work you are submitting is your own which isn’t enough for your Instructor to assess your understanding of the material. You may edit your presentation and resubmit as many times as you necessary to address any issues you find.
Final Project Grading Criteria
1) Introduction to the Refuge (10 points – see breakdown below)
1a: formation history such as when the site was established and under what conditions (5 points)

Critical Thinking of Science in the Media (Essay)

Critical Thinking of Science in the Media (Essay)
Misinformation – false or inaccurate information that is mistakenly or inadvertently created
or spread.
Disinformation – false information that is deliberately created and spread in order to
influence public opinion or obscure the truth.
Fake news – news stories that are false: the story itself is fabricated, with no verifiable facts,
sources or quotes.
Alternative facts – an alternative interpretation of a fact that is typically used in order to
serve one’s political or ideological purposes – regardless of whether the interpretation is
valid or not.
Information ecosystem – complex organizations of dynamic social relationships through
which information moves and transforms in flows.
Assessing the credibility of information can be even more confusing when it comes to
scientific information. Most people who are not scientists are presented with scientific issues
and advances through avenues like the internet, newspapers, radio/TV, or in conversation
with friends. In this assignment, we will concentrate on digital & print media, but much of what
we look for in terms of credibility in scientific reporting applies to any media outlet or any
information source towards which we should maintain a healthy skepticism.
Assignment Objective:
To evaluate a media report on a commonly divisive scientific issue and gain appreciation for
how to assess the credibility of an article that purports to be about a scientific issue. To
practice critical thinking! We want to be able to discriminate between legitimate scientific
presentations and those which may be framed in a “scientific” context but are really
pseudoscientific or in the worst cases out and out fraud. An issue that contributes to uncertainty around environmental issues is whether a new idea might be testing the envelope at the frontiers of science to eventually be either accepted or rejected. It is important to remember that legitimate disagreement is part of the process of science. However, we have to be able to decide when a scientific consensus has been reached and it is time to move on.
Tutorial Assignment:
– Find a recent article (either hard copy or from the web is acceptable) published within
the past year (must be 2023/24), reporting on one of the following scientific issues:
o climate change
o COVID19
o infectious diseases
o vaccines
– It should NOT be a peer reviewed article from a reputable science journal, since the whole
purpose of this exercise is to ask you to critically think about information that is being shared
in more popular ways. You can choose to select a piece of writing that is not strictly an
article published in a journal, magazine, newspaper, etc., but you should ensure that your
chosen piece of writing is substantive enough to allow you to carry out the assignment
objectives in a meaningful way. For example, a 250 word rant on a social media platform is
likely not a good choice for this exercise. As a guideline, your chosen article or piece of
writing should be a 5-minute read minimum. You may have to look through several sources
to find an article that is appropriate for this exercise. Note, your article must fall within the
2023/24 period, or you risk it being assigned a ZERO.
– Using 750 ~ 950 words, prepare a critical assessment of the credibility of
your chosen article incorporating as many of the relevant criteria (minimum 6
criteria) as outlined in the variety of resources provided, particularly the Rough Guide
to Spotting Bad Science source.
Review A Rough Guide to Spotting Bad Science at:
You should clearly state in your thesis statement and in your conclusion your final assessment on the authenticity or credibility of your chosen article. You will likely have to carry out additional research to address some of the criteria appropriately. Common practice is half truths, so your analysis may
involve identifying sections that may be accurate as well as other sections that may be inaccurate and need to be debunked. Overall you need to provide a clear analysis of whether you accept or reject the article’s credibility.
– Remember that critical thinking in this context does not necessarily simply mean to
find only fault with your chosen article. Within your minimum six criteria used in
your assessment, you should also be identifying and including areas in which it excels
or does well to support the article’s credibility.
– Your assessment should be written in an essay format with an introduction, body and
conclusion, in full sentences with paragraphs.
Within your assignment you should:
– Include a brief summary of your article, including its full citation within the assignment itself.
– You should attach or append a copy of your article to the back of your assignment. A penalty of -50% if the article is not attached.
– Use APA in-text citation method if appropriate.
– Try to incorporate as many of the criteria as relevant (minimum 6) in making your final assessment and be as explicit as possible to clearly identify how you came to your conclusion on the article’s scientific credibility.
– Your thesis statement and conclusion should clearly state your informed assessment of the scientific credibility of your chosen article. Additional research may be required.
Grading Rubric for the Assignment
Each assignment will be graded based on 5 major criteria:
– Purpose: Clearly present your “thesis” and arguments.
– Development of Ideas: Arguments/main points are backed up by examples, citations, etc., and they are explained effectively.
– Logic and Organization: Ideas presented in an organized and logical manner. Clear and specific introduction and conclusion.
– Clarity and Completeness: Assignment components are comprehensive and addresses the major questions asked within the assignment. The writing is essentially error-free in terms of spelling and grammar and words and sentences are used effectively.
– Research and Referencing: Appropriate references and in-text citations are used appropriately to enhance arguments.

Format and Presentation
Do not skip lines between paragraphs (like I’m doing here). Use Times New Roman or CG Times as your font, 12-point size. Papers must be typewritten, double-spaced with approximately 1” margins. Number all pages. Include your name on the upper right-hand corner of the first page, followed by the title, centered. A bibliography is a necessary part of any written assignment (see Citation, below), and should be attached at the end. Cover page is not necessary. In your essay assignments you will critically reflect on assigned reading, or video, or artwork and make connections between these artworks, lessons learned in this course, and your artworks. Make sure your paper is an essay – it has at least 3 distinct paragraphs (introduction, supporting paragraph(s) and conclusion).
Citation
This is sometimes tricky, but by this point in your academic career, it is essential that you do it correctly. It is expected that you will use material from the texts and lecture to analyze your subject. Thus, whether you use direct quotes or paraphrases, you must give credit to the authors of those words, when they are not your own.
If you cite a lecture, do it this way: (Lecture, 5/31/05). However, relying solely on lecture citations for material that is also in the readings reveals to me that your familiarity with the readings is inadequate. So you should be sure to prioritize. Where appropriate, always cite the original source and not my delivery of it in lecture.
In the text, directly quoted course materials from the textbook should be cited in one of the following ways:
“The stereotypes that we learn not only justify prejudice and discrimination but also can produce the behavior depicted in the stereotype” (Henslin, 2001:331).
Or alternately:
James Henslin (2001:331) suggests that, “The stereotypes that we learn not only justify prejudice and discrimination but also can produce the behavior depicted in the stereotype.”
Also, be sure to cite any ideas that you borrow, not just quoted text. For instance:
Many analysts have noted how stereotypes may produce the behavior they depict (Henslin, 2001:331).
Any direct quotation that is longer than three lines needs to be set off from the body of the paper by indenting and single-spacing. Since your papers will be double-spaced and indented only to begin paragraphs, you will see the contrast. Be careful to differentiate between what the textbook authors are saying themselves, and the other authors that they may in turn quote. Cite accordingly. Do not string quotes together without putting them in context with your own prose. When you use a direct quote, place it in the context of a sentence that includes an explanation of what the quote means and why it is useful in service of the point you are making.
A full reference, including the author’s name, book or article title, publishing information and page numbers will appear in a separate, alphabetically organized bibliography at the end of the paper, under the heading, “References”. Below is an example of a reference from the reader and from Henslin.
Anderson, Elijah. 1996. “The Code of the Streets.” Pp. 62-73 in Susan J. Ferguson (Ed.) Mapping the Social Landscape. London: Mayfield.
Henslin, James. 2001. Mapping the Social Landscape. Boston: Allyn and Bacon.
Style
In general, write as simply as possible. Never use a big word, when a little one will do. Big words don’t necessarily convey intellectual prowess, especially when they are awkwardly used. Your word choice should be appropriate to formal writing: no slang, and no contractions (“can’t”, “don’t”), unless you are quoting others or it somehow improves your point. You must use words that actually exist, and words must be used correctly. Look up definitions and spellings if you are unsure. Spell check often misses words.
Avoid using the indefinite “you.” You will notice that I am addressing these instructions to you; that is, I am using the second person. That is because I am giving these instructions to a definite person or set of persons. In your papers, unless you mean to address the reader directly, do not use “you” when you mean to use “one” or “we.” Refer to yourself as “I” in describing your experience, and as “we” in your analysis. It is perfectly acceptable to use the first person singular in papers – it is not too informal. Use “we” for the author and the reader together: “We have seen how breaching experiments disturb our taken-for-granted notions about reality.”
Avoid “a lot” (and by the way it’s not spelled “alot”), and “very.” Hemingway and Morrison do not need them, and neither do you. Don’t confuse “their/there/they’re” or “it’s/its”, or “to/two/too”, or were/we’re/where”, etc. Also please differentiate between “suppose” and “supposed.” These are not interchangeable, and are almost always improperly applied. These sets of words give many students trouble, so please be careful.
Try to avoid using “he”, “his”, or “mankind” to mean anyone or all in general. If for some reason you have a strong ideological commitment to using “he” as the generic, you may do so, but it is not accurate, and there are other options available.
Make sure that nouns and verbs agree in number. Avoid sentence fragments. Make sure that the sentences you write have subjects and predicates. Verbs are also necessary. Do not leave a clause hanging without these necessary components. Avoid run-on sentences. Make sure that if you link things together in a sentence that you do so by using the proper connective words or punctuation marks. These kinds of mistakes can often be caught by reading your paper aloud. If it sounds wrong, it probably is.
Always follow the parsimony principle. That is, use as few words as possible to make your point. Never refer to “society” as an active agent (that’s my pet peeve), as in, “Society requires that people follow norms.”
Process
One way to start is by saying your ideas out loud, and writing them down. Just get the words out of your head and onto the page where you will be able to work with them more easily. I strongly suggest that you write more than one draft of your paper. Most successful papers are begun well in advance of the night before the assignment is due. The best way to start is to just spew out a messy first draft, getting all of your ideas and facts down on paper (if you write long-hand) or your computer screen (if you prefer to word process). Then, a second draft will help you to organize the sections, focus your argument, and refine the content and style.
You must be at this point before you come to see me about your paper. Although I will be unable to read entire drafts, I may be able to discuss specific parts of your thesis or analysis, and/or help you with difficulties in transitions between ideas or sections of your argument. Be sure that all spelling and grammatical errors, and the formatting the paper are correct in the final draft. You must proofread your own paper. It is not acceptable to turn in a paper with typographical errors, misspellings, nouns and verbs that do not agree, misused words, run-on sentences, sentence fragments, etc. You may want to rewrite the beginning or end of your paper in the last draft. Often in composing your paper, you will have changed your focus or ideas somewhat by the time you finish. You will want to make sure that these changes are reflected in a new version of your introduction or conclusion.
Finally, re-read your own paper and imagine that someone else wrote it. Does it make sense? Fix it, if it doesn’t. You may also want to get someone else to read your paper and give you comments. It is often hard to be objective when you are so close in the writing process. If you have trouble with your writing, get help.

Watch the following video’s from the Boone and Crockett Club and Steven Rinella
Watch the following video’s from the Boone and Crockett Club and Steven Rinella and then discuss your thoughts on the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. In particular you are going to dive deep into one of the 7 tenets of this Model and discuss how it applies to wildlife management or a specific species.
Choose one of the 7 tenets and fully explain the tenet before applying it to your example. Be specific in your example including the agencies, laws, and species that apply. Don’t forget to add your resources. (See my example of gray wolves as applied to the first tenet, the PTD in content). Title your thread with the tenet # and example and choose something different (either a different tenet or species/mgmt) from your classmates.
The Public Trust Doctrine, as you learned this week, is a legal principle establishing that certain natural and cultural resources are preserved for public use, not just today but for all future generations. This will help to give you additional background on the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.
