(Is there evidence, logical reasoning, contrary evidence?) -To entertain (affecting emotion?) (How are the emotions affected? Does it make the reader laugh, cry, get angry? Why and how does it affect the reader this way?) Consider the following questions: 1. How is the material organized? 2. Who is the intended audience? 3.

Critical Analysis Guidelines
The purpose for writing a critical analysis is to evaluate
someone's work (book, essay,
movie, paining, play, etc…) in order to increase the reader's
understanding of it. A critical
analysis is subjective writing because it expresses the writer's
opinion and evaluation of the
work. Analysis means to break down and study the parts.
Writing a critical paper requires
two steps: critical reading and critical writing.
CRITICAL READING:
-Identify the author's thesis/purpose
-Outline the work or write a description of it
-Summarize the work
-Determine the purpose of the work and evaluate the means by
which the author has
accomplished this purpose:
-To inform with factual material?
(Has the material been presented clearly, accurately, with
order and
coherence?
-To persuade with appeal to reason or emotion?
(Is there evidence, logical reasoning, contrary evidence?)
-To entertain (affecting emotion?)
(How are the emotions affected? Does it make the reader
laugh, cry, get
angry? Why and how does it affect the reader this way?)
Consider the following questions:

1. How is the material organized?
2. Who is the intended audience?
3. What are the writer's assumptions about the audience?
4. What kind of language and imagery does the author use?
SAMPLE OUTLINE FOR CRITICAL ANALYSIS ESSAY
I. Background information on author and essay to help readers
understand the nature of the
work.
A. Title and author
B. Publication Information
C. Statement of Topic/Purpose
II. Thesis Statement indicating the writer's (YOUR) main
reaction to the work.
III. Summary/Description of the work

IV. Interpretation and Evaluation
a. Organization
b. Style
c. Effectiveness
d. Treatment of Topic
e. Appeal to a Particular Audience
V. Conclusion
Tips to remember when writing:
-Avoid using first person. Do not introduce your ideas by
stating "I think," or "In my
opinion." Keep the focus on the subject of your analysis, not on
yourself. Identifying your
opinions weakens them. For example: instead of writing “I
thought the piece was a good
example of…” use “the piece was a good example of…” YOU
are the author. The reader
already knows and assumes that is your opinion.
-Always introduce the work. Do not assume your reading
knows what you are writing
about; therefore does not need to know the title and the author.
Assume your reader knows
nothing about the piece you are writing about.
-Is there controversy surrounding the subject? The author?
-Overall value of the piece?

-Strength and Weaknesses of the piece?
-Support your thesis with detailed evidence from the text. Do
not forget to document
quotes and paraphrases. Acknowledge your sources.
-Be open-minded, well-informed and fair. Express your
opinions, but back them up with
evidence.

Part 1: SQL/Database work Scenario Development of a relational database system for a food producing company FoodRU is a Leicester-based food producing company. The company wants to keep details regarding both past and present employees and their assignment to shifts over time. At present, there are three defined shift patterns; the morning shift starts at 6am and finishes at 2pm, the day shift starts at 9am and finishes at 5pm, and the evening shift starts at 4pm and finishes at 12am (midnight). However, management have already indicated that they may need to add further shift patterns in the future (e.g., by adding a night shift to the existing ones so that the company can meet a high user demand for their foods). They therefore require shift details to be stored within a separate Shift table, with attributes that allow the storage of a shift name with its associated start and finish times (use the 24 hour clock for these times). Past and present employee details are to be kept in the same Employee table, and the details to be kept are the employee’s unique 6 digit reference number, the first name, surname and any other names (if there are any) of the employee, the employee’s gender, contact address and contact telephone, the date on which the employee started his/her employment at the company and the date on which the employee finished his/her employment at the company (should s/he be a past employee). Details regarding staff assignments to shifts include the date that an employee was allocated to work a particular shift, and the date that s/he was taken off the shift (if not still assigned to it). Employees can be assigned to different shifts over time and even to the same shift over different time periods, although they cannot be assigned to more than one shift at any one time. A new employee may not yet be assigned to a shift. Tasks: 1. Provide the table specifications for the THREE tables that are required by FoodRU to store employee, shift and assignment details. That is, for each of the three tables, you should provide, in a suitable presentation format, the name of the table and a specification of each its attributes to include: • Attribute name • Attribute brief description as to its meaning • a description of the attribute’s data type/integrity (e.g., date field, character field of length 20, number field <= 10, etc. – you can use the Oracle data types within these descriptions if you want to) • An indication as to whether the attribute is a primary key attribute and/or foreign key attribute • An indication as to whether the attribute can or cannot take null values Make sure your design specifies the appropriate links between the three tables. Remember to write down any additional integrity you need to enforce either at a specific table level or across two or more tables, if this is required. Also, remember to write down any justifications for the data types/integrity or for any other design features that.

part 1: I attended an international conference on Biotechnology and one of the sessions I went to was on the subject of bio-engineering a "death gene" that could be introduced into the mosquito population and destroy every mosquito on earth. The discussion that ensued was about the ethics of such a thing. I want you to tell how you feel about introducing such a gene. Look up something about this. Your reference does not have to be about this particular gene, but can be about anything that relates to the discussion. Remember to cite your reference, and write at least 150 words part 2: Respond to another student respond to this I think that with regulation of the mosquito communities would be a good thing. Mosquitos carry many dangerous diseases and if we can lower the population we can slow the rate of transmission of these diseases. This could save many many lives around the world. I would be hesitant though to release the genetically engineered mosquitos into the environment. In the article I read they releases sterile male mosquitos into the environment. This I feel is a safer way to regulate because we are not altering any genes we are just regulating a naturally occurring issue in nature. Sterile males cannot pass on the genes and also male mosquitos are not the ones who would be likely to pass on the diseases. The article stated that only females bite and therefore males would not be capable of spreading the diseases. With sterile males being released there will be less mosquitos due to lack of repopulation. This will still allow organisms relying on mosquitos for food to still be able to survive with less risk to humans. They are an invasive species so it would help to eliminate the spread of mosquitos to different areas. This will keep the spread of disease throughout areas. I do not think it is right to alter the genes for human use though. It is not how nature had intended. If the gene pops up naturally in the population then it should not be taken out but we should not introduce it due to humans "playing God" with genetics.
