Following your excellent performance as a “special future generations advisor” to the Ontario government in your last assignment, you have been given a new assignment to evaluate whether your generation is experiencing better environmental health than that of 50-100 years ago. You have been tasked with concentrating your assessment from both chemicals and infectious disease exposures and have been asked to address this from a regional Canadian perspective versus a global perspective.
Specifically, you have been asked to write a report of no more than 1,000 words using as much supporting evidence as possible from your course readings and independent research to make this evaluation. As part of this report, you should include an analysis including as many specific relevant areas and case studies that led to your final assessment, e.g. science, policy, ethics, economics.
Your paper should include a clear thesis statement, properly cited sources using the APA format, and be free of spelling and grammatical errors. A first person, professional perspective and tone is encouraged since you are being asked to develop and present your own individual analysis of the current state of environmental health as compared to the past.
An excellent paper will demonstrate your capacity to conduct independent research to generate a well documented interdisciplinary analysis of the progress or decline in environmental health with specific examples and citations to support your various lines of evidence introduced to support your thesis.
You will be evaluated on the paper’s development of ideas, logic and organization, clarity, and spelling/proofreading.
Your sources for this assignment should include:
. A minimum of five course readings (You must document your use of these sources as you would any others).
. A minimum of five other references, in addition to those required and recommended from your course readings and assignment instructions. Such sources should be drawn from reliable professional or academic sources engaged in the public debate. We caution you to be extra vigilant in determining the validity and authority of the authors and sources
before inclusion in your own analysis. Examples of such sources include (but are not limited to):
o Academic books and journal articles
o Government and industry websites;
o think tanks and environmental non government organizations, and
o mainstream media
Please keep in mind that this paper is a short paper – we expect you to stick within the set length limits and will penalize papers that are too long. Keeping it short is challenging, but those of you who are able to cover all the relevant points and be concise will show real mastery of the issues.
Documentation of Sources
When writing an assignment or academic paper such as this one, you must acknowledge the sources from which you took information or ideas, specific facts which you use as evidence in your argument, and the authors of distinctive or authoritative ideas. This allows your reader to look to those sources for further information, or to confirm your information.
You should not be citing your lecture notes or instructor within this assignment. Instead you should be citing the appropriate readings or other documented sources to support your statements.
If you have questions about when and why you should be using citations, please see the handout How Not to Plagiarize from the University of Toronto Writing Centre
(http://www.writing.utoronto.ca/advice/using-sources/how-not-to-plagiarize).
In this assignment, the preference is for the APA formatting style. which consists of an in-text citation method that consists of the surname(s) of the author(s) and the year of publication. For more information review the handout Standard Documentation Formats
(http://www.writing.utoronto.ca/advice/using-sources/documentation), which includes instructions on documenting online and digital sources.
Keep in mind, you must document all of your sources, including
. Course Readings
. Additional articles or policy statements
. Digital and Online Sources
This is not a group project. You are required to work independently on this assignment, and to submit your own original work. We check vigilantly for plagiarism; for assistance with any writing issues, we encourage you to use the resources of the writing centres:

Administrative Details
Submission of assignments:
We will be using a plagiarism detection program within the online assignment function in Quercus for submission of the written assignments in this course. Normally, students will be required to submit their course essays to the University’s plagiarism detection tool website for a review of textual similarity and detection of possible plagiarism. In doing so, students will allow their material to be included as source documents in the University’s plagiarism detection tool reference database, where they will be used solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism. The terms that apply to the University’s use of the University’s plagiarism detection tool service are described on the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation web site (https://uoft.me/pdt-faq).
If a student does not wish to submit to the online plagiarism tool, the student MUST advise the head TA immediately as alternate arrangements for screening the assignment must be arranged.
To avoid late penalties, assignments must be submitted to the Quercus Assignment function by 11:59pm on Nov 30, 2025.
Late penalties
Extension requests should be directed to your TA and no later than 48hours before the assignment is due.
Note students may submit one absence declaration per academic term . If additional absences occur within the term, students may need to contact their College Registrar or submit a UofT
Verification of Illness Form. More detailed information on the absence declaration guidelines and eligibility can be found at:
https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/academics/student-absences
Please note that the declaration must cover the period of time you missed, e.g. the week before the assignment/essay is due, etc.
Assignments will NOT be accepted one week past the due date even if accompanied by an Absence Declaration unless prior approval has been obtained. All such requests should be directed to the head TA: Kirsten Yeung, [email protected].ca
