Disclaimer: This is a more politically charged assignment so, I
understand that some people's politics will play a role in your
answer- and that's okay. I will be grading this on a 1-5 scale
(represented in a grade percentage) in terms of the following:
- Competency; attention to detail/ absence of pre-established
partisan talking points; demonstration of understanding the
situation; and, nuance and thoroughness of the response.
- 5 grade is the equivalent of an A; 4 grade is equivalent to a B;
3 grade is equivalent to a C; 2 grade is equivalent to a D; 1-0
grade is equivalent to an F.
