Assignment
Write an essay under 1200 words (excluding references), consisting of three tasks:
1. Read and summarize the following article:
The Trumpian Roots of the Chip Crisis - The New York Times by Paul Krugman published on 8 July 2021.
2. Analyze how Trump’s tariffs “actually reduced U.S. manufacturing employment”. You can use diagrams
to support your arguments.
3. Briefly explain Trump’s protectionism on the semiconductor industry, and discuss the effects of those
policies on the U.S. economy.
Criteria and Marking:
The total mark for this assignment is 30, which consists of the following criteria:
• Article summary (3 marks)
• Analyzing tariff effects (6 marks)
• Explaining protectionism on semiconductors
(4 marks)
• Discussing the effects (7 marks)
• Writing Quality (6 marks)
• Presentation (2 marks)
• Reference (2 marks)
In the Writing Quality criterion, your writing style, essay flow and grammar/spelling will be examined. The
Presentation criterion includes various details such as document format, identification and compliance of word
limit. In addition, there are some general points to consider:
• Remember that your writing must be in the form of an essay in the sense that it should have an
introduction, a conclusion, and the main body addressing the tasks described above.
• Your essay must have a cover page detailing your ID and word count.
• Remember to give a total word count (excluding references) on the cover page.
• You cannot use any bullet points in explanation or summary.
• Any reference style is allowed, but it must be consistent (i.e. same style throughout the essay).
• You cannot cite Wikipedia or Investopedia.
• If graphs/figures are used, remember to quote the source.
• Use academic writing style and not creative writing style.
• Do not plagiarize! It will be dealt with very seriously in UQ and is simply not worth trying.
Submission:
Each student should submit a Word or PDF file through the Turnitin link on the Blackboard course website.
