Watch The Habitable Planet – Human Population Dynamics Here (Links to an external site.)
After watching the video, please answer the three questions below in essay format, utilizing specific details from the video in your responses. Your essay must be between 1000 -1500 words total in length. This assignment will be evaluated based on how well each response summarizes the main points of the video, utilizing proper grammar and spelling, and creative writing skills. See below for detailed grading rubric.
You must write in your own words, as Turnitin will be used to check for plagiarism. As per the course policy, plagiarism will have serious consequences. Detailed information on what constitutes Plagiarism is provided in USF Regulation 3.027 (Links to an external site.). Basically, using the exact words, opinions, or information from another source (websites, books, etc.) without citing that source will be considered plagiarism. Failure to abide by these guidelines and to cite all sources used will result in a 0 for the assignment, a report to the dean, and any further infractions will result in an F or “FF” grade for the course. USF libraries have various resources to help you with plagiarism and proper citations: http://guides.lib.usf.edu/c.php?g=451607&p=4980659 (Links to an external site.).
Please use Microsoft Word or PDF when submitting your assignment (Canvas will not accept other file formats).
