Writing Assignment: Annotated Bibliography (AB) Due Dates (by 11:59PM): Rubin AB entry: 1/30 AB Draft (3 entries): 2/25 OPTIONAL: AB Final Draft (5 entries): 3/ 10 AB Revised Draft: 3/17 Mechanics: 6 page minimum (including 5 AB entries and a Literature Review with CRQ), double-spaced, 12 point, 1” margins, MLA (or other) format Explanation Annotated Bibliography is a genre of writing in academia that works to show your awareness of what others have written about a topic. The work done in an AB, including introducing the authors with brief intellectual biographies; explicating the main claims and concepts; tracing the argument and its evidence; evaluating the source; and discussing its stakes and implications gives some context to the course reading you choose to research and situates the course reading into a research topic by indicating the intellectual conversations you are entering. The point of this assignment is to practice research skills but also to dig a little deeper into 4 of our readings using research. For this assignment:Writing Task 1. Compile an Annotated Bibliographyof five scholarly sources, including one entry for Gayle Rubin’s “Thinking Sex” and 4 more scholarly sources based on researching sources that are connected to one (the deep dive) or more of our course readings. See the next page for the specific AB entry format. · Sources · “Scholarly” means peer-reviewed articles from academic journals or chapters in books written by experts in a field and not wikis, encyclopedias, newspapers, popular magazines/media, blogs, websites, etc. (see the Library Guide on what constitutes a scholarly source). · “Connected” means that each of your researched, scholarly sources must be connection to a course reading in some way. You can either find a source that engages or discusses the particular critical essay or cultural text from the course calendar or you can do research on a topic or theme that is brought up in or similar to the course reading. Whatever you decide, you’ll explain the connection in your quote analysis. · “Deep Dive” means you may also include more than one researched source per course text. You can, for instance, research two sources on a critical essay and two on a cultural text or even include 4 sources that are all about one essay or text to give some in-depth engagement with one course reading. Alternatively, you may also include 4 sources on 4 different course texts. · Focus · If you’d like, you canfocus your research within a broad topic, on a field of knowledge, or on a really specific object of analysis within that topic. For example, you can produce an AB based on a specific topic (like racialized hypersexuality, the sex/gender/desire matrix, or a particular sexual stereotype) or a specific discipline (for instance, focus on the sociology of sex) or an interdisciplinary one that pursues a critical research question through multiple fields of knowledge (for instance, focused on how sociology, cult.

What if the ideal tools for teaching undergraduate students the most critical information literacy concepts have been sitting in the stacks all along collecting dust, or wading out in digital space unencountered? Reference sources are an optimal medium to introduce all six of the ACRL Framework’s central concepts for information literacy. Additionally, by understanding a reference source’s place in the information search process, students learn to consciously avoid the common pitfall of neglecting exploratory research before specifying their research topics. Thus, incorporating reference sources thoughtfully into instructional design contributes to the development of both information literacy and metacognition.

Make a 150 word response to the following. Incorporarte what was said in 1.In your response. Discuss some of the qualities that can make art "great." Use texbook: Getlein, Mark. Living with Art, 9th Ed., New York: McGraw-Hill, 2010. Chapters 1-5 1. Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, certain criteria should be looked at or met to consider something art. The same applies to calling someone an artist. Getlein first discusses that artists create places that fulfill a purpose for humans. Examples of this include Stonehenge and the Vietnam Memorial. Artists also exaggerate or give new perspective on ordinary objects to make them seem extraordinary. Another thing artists accomplish is using their art to record history. Their art could remind people of a different time or era in human history. For example, a painting for an ancient Chinese dynasty gives us insight into that era. Artists give form to things that cannot be seen or understood. This mostly includes statues, paintings, etc. of various deities. This same idea can also be applied when artists give form to feelings or ideas. This is shown in Van Gogh's famous painting called The Starry Night. Lastly, artists can give us a new or refreshing perspective on the world. An artist or their art must meet one of these criteria to be considered art. These six criteria show how influential and important art has been to human culture and society for a very long time. Art gives us glimpses into times that are long gone and clues to a different culture. Make a 150 word response to the following. Incorporate what is said in 2. In your response. What factors make a work of art valuable in different ways to different people? Use texbook: Getlein, Mark. Living with Art, 9th Ed., New York: McGraw-Hill, 2010. Chapters 1-5 2. Unity is when pieces come together in art to form a cohesive whole. Variety is the difference in these pieces to be more interesting. An example of these concepts is figure 3.8 on page 56. Guernica by Pablo Picasso is a painting of disfigured animals and people that seem chaotic. Different images can be seen throughout the painting. Unity is shown because all the individual objects and people come together to give you a large picture. Variety is also shown because many of the animals like the horse are disfigured and almost cartoonish. I chose this work because looking at the individual pieces of the picture seem strange but they come together to show some kind of conflict. Symmetrical balance is when the center of gravity in a piece of art is vertical. The two sides of the art must also correspond to each other. An example of this is figure 3.1 on page 51. A picture of interior upper chapel of the Sainte-Chappelle in Paris is shown. This artwork in the chapel shows symmetrical balance because there is an implied line down the middle of the design where a door is and both sides mirror each other perfectly. Asymmetrical balance is when two sides of the art do not correspond w.

Major Paper #1--The Point of View Essay We will be working on this paper for the next three units. The final draft of the paper--with all three sections described below--will be due at the end of Unit #4. Purpose: This paper assignment has several purposes. As the first major paper for this class, the Point of View Essay is designed to re-engage you with the fundamentals of all good writing, including using lush sensory details to show the reader a particular place (rather than tell them about it), basic organization, clear focus, etc. However, this unit does not function as a mere review. The Point of View Essay will also introduce you to the concept of "thinking and seeing rhetorically, and analyzing writing rhetorically"--using the Writer's Toolbox described in this unit to improve your writing and critical reading skills. Finally, the Point of View Essay allows you to reflect on this process. The Assignment: 1. Pleasant/Unpleasant Description of the Place: Choose a place you can observe for an extended period of time (at least 20-30 minutes). Use all of your senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, even taste if possible) to experience the place, and record all of the sensations that you experience. As you record your data, you may wish to note which details naturally seem more positive, negative, or neutral, in terms of tone. (For instance, a stinky and overflowing trash barrel swarming with flies in a nearby alley might seem more inherently negative than a little white bunny rabbit hopping playfully across the lawn.) Then, you will use this information to help your write two descriptions of the place: one positive, one negative (at least 1-2 well-developed paragraphs or a minimum of 125-150 words each). Both descriptions should be factually true (same real time and real place), but you will want one description to be clearly positive in terms of tone and the other to be clearly negative. In addition to including the information and sensory details you've collected as the basis for these descriptions, you will also use the Writer's Toolbox to create your two contrasting impressions for this assignment. (The Writer's Toolbox is explained in the Lecture Notes section of this unit.) As you revise and refine your descriptions, please be sure you are "showing" your readers your place (really putting the readers "there" in the moment and in this scene), rather than simply "telling" them about it. You will also want to try to eliminate unnecessary linking verbs as much as you can, incorporating verbs that show "action" whenever possible. 2. Rhetorical Analysis: Looking back at your descriptions, analyze how you created these two very different impressions of the place (one positive, one negative) without changing any of the facts. How did you make your place seem so positive in one paragraph and yet so negative in the other paragraph, without changing the facts? Discuss how you incorporated each of the tools from the Writer's T.

The media affects society with these influences because it alters the way people think and it plays a role in the choices the people make. The change in peoples thoughts do to influences from what they see creates an opportunity for them to either make a good or bad choice depending on the type of influence that is shown. I believe that most of time the media portrays negative influences upon society. A positive influence from the media would be a commercial or show/clip about stopping bullying that informs people about the topic and why bullying is wrong and how it affects the lives of the victims. This type of media would influence society in a positive way because it would actually get society thinking about the situation and for the bullies some of them will actually realize the harm they are causing there victims and they would probably stop bullying people. A negative influence of the media would be a song with someone talking about how they murder people and take drugs and make it in a way to make people think it’s “cool” and then people who listen to it start imitating the things talked about in the song because they want to be “cool”. What I hope to accomplish with this essay is to open people eyes and help them see that the things they watch and listen to as in media actually alter the way they think and the choices they make so hopefully they change what they listen to and watch to more positive things. The reason I chose to write about the media and its influences on society is to inform people that media has a bigger purposes than just entertainment for society and to hopefully help people make better choices and actually pay attention to the things they watch and listen to. I see how the media influence our modern society everywhere, at the basketball courts at the park at stores. Some of the people at the basketball courts I go to start listening to music that talk about drugs, gangs, murder and they start acting tough, being stupid and talking reckless and they get into arguments or even worse end up getting into fights and someone gets hurt I see this all the time. My paper is important because it will help shed light on the media motives and hopefully start making people m.

Major Assignment Objectives This assignment will provide practice and experience in: · Writing a program – Topic 2 · Debugging– Topic 3 · Stepwise Refinement& Modularisation – Topic 4 and Topic 10 · Selection – Topic 5 · Iteration – Topic 6 · Arrays – Topic 7 · File handling – Topic 9 · Structs – Topic 11 NB Depend i ng on when you start this assignment you may need to read ahead especially on how to use files andstructs. Suggestions: Read the assignment specifications carefully first.Write the first version of your program in Week 4 and then create new versions as you learn new topics. Do NOT leave it until Week 11 to start writing the program. Review Topic 4 on stepwise refinement. This is how you should approach the major. Also note that though your program must do something and must compile it does not have to be complete to earn marks. Specifications One of the many tasks that programmers get asked to do is to convert data from one form to another. Frequently data is presented to users in well-labelled, tabular form for easy reading. However, it is impossible or very difficult to do further processing of the data unless it is changed into a more useful form. For the purposes of this assignment I have downloaded and will make available the undergraduate applications to the 37 Australian universities from the Department of Education for 2009 – 2013 data file as a text file. Your program will load this data into an array of structs, save the data in a form that is directly usable by a database (see below), display the data on the console in its original form and in its database form. It will also allow the user to display the highest number of applications for a given state and year. Your program will use a menu to allow the user to choose what task is to be done. You will only be required to handle the Applications data. You can ignore the Offers and Offers rates data (see below). Data See “undergraduateapplicationsoffersandacceptances2013appendices.txt” for the original data. This is the data your program should produce and save: New South Wales Charles Sturt University 4265 4298 4287 4668 4614 New South Wales Macquarie University 6255 6880 7294 7632 7625 New South Wales Southern Cross University 2432 2742 2573 2666 2442 New South Wales The University of New England 1601 1531 1504 1632 1690 New South Wales The University of New South Wales 10572 10865 11077 11008 11424 New South Wales The University of Newcastle 9364 9651 9876 10300 10571 New South Wales The University of Sydney 13963 14631 14271 14486 15058 New South Wales "University of Technology, Sydney" 10155 9906 9854 10621 9614 New South Wales University of Western Sydney 11251 11.
