Economy and Environment Assignment Writing Guidelines
Objectives
In addition to developing students’ analytical and critical thinking skills, research skills, data and
information management, and even time management skills, the main goal of writing term paper
in this course is to apply the theoretical concepts and models of environmental economics to the
real-life insights, policies, and decisions. The term paper will focus on a specific issue in the
theories of environmental economics in the Canadian, more specifically in the provincial
(Ontario) and municipal (GTA) context1 rather than addressing various and general country-wide
issues at the same time. It should start immediately with analyzing and discussing the given
topics (see the Term paper topics). Your analysis, Assessments and critique, and explanations
stressing how theoretical models and concepts are applied to real life would be more valuable. It
is also very important to discuss the underlying theories, concepts and assumptions.
Format
The term paper should be structured as follows:
• Title, student and course information (cover page)
• Introduction
• Discussion and Analysis (the main content of the term paper)
• Summary and Conclusion
• References (at least 5 resources)
The term paper should be in a range of 1500-2000 words (excluding cover page, references, and
appendix) and should be typed in Times New Roman with 12 font-size, and double-spaced and
should contain separate pages for the cover, references, and appendix, if necessary.
Figures and tables should be inserted in the text where appropriate. If you use material from the
web and other sources, this should be cited and the web address should be included in the
reference list. APA format is used for citation and references.
However, some topics, such as the Deep Water Horizon accident or Hurricane Katarina, might be in the 1
global context.
