Tour Synthesis Guidelines

Your paper's goal is the incorporation of the "real" into the abstract concepts. The tour provided a glimpse of three major institutions. However, in order to create a holistic experience, students will write a synthesis of the field trip along with a chosen political event that recently happened involving one of the three institutions visited.

This event must have a tie-up with one of the chosen institutions that was visited. And sources of information must be primarily from RESPECTABLE PERIODICALS.

The tour synthesis will be a description, exposition and commentary about the studen's chosen political event and institution. It can be likened to a news report/editorial, the student is the journalist. Note that this is not a Journalism/Mass Communications paper. Rather, it is a Political Science document whose goal is to 1) describe a recent political phenomenon in the real world, and 2) point out rationally the political implications of this phenomenon.

The synthesis must have one 2x3 picture of the student in a location within the chosen institution. And the document will be limited to a single page. Reference list should be at the very bottom. 2 citations (1 for picture, 1 for news info source). The picture must be captioned (very briefly describing the background) along with a credit on who took the picture, and when.

Evaluation is same as all think pieces.
