Your response must be between 1000-1500 words in length. Please use Microsoft Word or PDF when completing your assignment. 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. 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.

2 ways Floridian are impacting the springs: 50 points

2 innovative solutions to these impacts: 40 points

Essays that provide underdeveloped and inadequate responses to the subparts will usually get a lower score as compared to the ones that demonstrate a higher level of thought, thoroughness, and effort in meeting the assignment objectives.

Consider this example. Two students provide waste management as an innovative solution. A student that further delves into how waste management can curb the impact on springs, discuss its implementation strategy, and consider other details will receive a higher grade than someone who only states “we should not discard our trash in the sinkholes”.
