Name:
RESEARCH/ARGUMENTATION PAPER
ENGL 1301
This will be your final process paper. You will submit an 800 words essay using MLA documentation. The paper should have a minimum of three in-text citation and work cited. All resources used must be appropriately documented.
Topic:
In this paper, you will frame for yourself a controversial topic. Then, you are required to take a position on your topic, frame a thesis, and write an argumentation paper with a minimum of 3 supporting evidence and at least two refutations on an opposing evidence.
Prewriting process for Final Paper
B. i.State your choice of controversial topic:
_________________________________________________________________
ii. Write a research question.
_______________________________________________________________
iii. State your position on the topic.
_______________________________________________________________
iv. Frame your thesis. The thesis must meet the element of agreeability, scope, public resonance, and revelation.
Sample thesis development:
Topic: Banning Books in Schools
Level 1: Simple Thesis: Topic + Opinion
Banning books in schools should be discouraged.
Level 2: Complex Thesis: Topic+ Opinion + Reasons (Main Premises)
Banning books in schools should be discouraged because it limits students’ exposure, diminishes one’s freedom of choice, and deters controversial/free thinking.
Level 3: Level 2 + meet the element of agreeability, scope, public resonance, and revelation.
Even though we can all agree that not all books are suitable reading material for everyone, banning literary texts in American public schools may be detrimental to the mission of general education as it limits students reading exposure, freedom of choice, and free thinking.

Example: Quote
Vance Smith claims, “Menopause is experienced by many
women at a much
younger age” (2).
In Busting the Myths of Menopausal Age, the author states
4. “women go through
menopausal symptoms as early as in their twenties” (Smith 2).
Example: Paraphrase
A recent article on women’s health suggest that many women
undergo signs of
menopause two decades earlier than what many would perceive
as menopausal
age (Smith 2).

19. text file with the corresponding physical addresses. Each page
fault will also result in a message to the
console. This computer is byte-addressable with 16-bit virtual
addresses, 2KB of physical memory, and
a 256 byte page size. It uses a FIFO page replacement policy.
Requirements
1. The program must be written in Java.
2. It reads Hexidecimal address from the virtual.txt file and
writes physical addresses to the
physical.txt file.
3. When a page is not in physical memory. A page fault occurs.
The program must display a
message to the console indicating which page (if any) was
swapped out of physical memory and
which physical memory frame the new page was loaded into.
4. To implement the FIFO page replacement policy a queue is
required. You may implement the
queue yourself or use the one provided by the Java API.
Hint: The UML Class diagram below describes one way to
organize the program.
Extra Credit (up to 10 points)

4. Unlike a real memory system, for this assignment, the cache
table won’t change on a cache
miss.
Hints:
1. You have already written a multiply subroutine for MARIE.
You could use a similar integer
divide subroutine for this. It could return both a quotient and a
remainder.
2. I recommend writing this in Java or C++ first to test your
algorithm. Write the divide method
using repeated subtraction as you will in MARIE.
3. The textbook describes the LoadI instruction, but the MARIE
simulator does not recognize that.
You can accomplish the same thing using Clear and AddI.
Upload: Your MARIE source file (.mas)
Sample Output
Input: B5, Output: 0
Input: A5, Output: 1
Input: 6C, Output: 0
24. 5. The program must implement the entire Moore machine, not
just the inputs below. The
instructor will test it with different input
Hint: There are many different ways to do this, but consider
using an array of state objects. One way is
to declare this class,
// This class represents one state in a Moore machine
public class Moore {
private char state; // The name of the state
private String output; // The output displayed when this state
is entered
int zero; // The index of the next state given an input
of 0
int one; // The index of the next state given an input
of 1
// Public constructors and methods here
Then in main you can create the array of states like
Moore[] mooreStates = new Moore[5];
27. Add Pops the top two values off the stack, performs the
operation, then pushes the result on the
Sub stack. Note that the value that was pushed first comes first
in the operation. Sub works like this,
Mul t2 = pop(), t1 = pop(), t3 = t1 – t2, push(t3).
Div
Requirements
1. The program must be written in Java. It may implement its
own stack, or it may use the Java API
Stack class. Only floating point values are stored on the stack
and in memory.
2. The instructions are read from the machine.txt file.
3. In addition to moving a value from the stack to memory, the
Pop operation must display a
message on the console.
4. This program does not have to deal with error conditions like
stack underflow or invalid input.
5. The program needs work for any valid input file. The
instructor will test it with data that is
different from this sample data.
30. takes 8 bits and the hamming code adds 4 bits. This hamming
code provides single-bit error
correction.
Requirements
1. The program must be written in Java. If you have not used
Java before, you can learn it
enough to do this assignment, by looking at the provided
program.
2. You can use Eclipse to write, compile and test your program,
but you may also use any
other development environment you like. Only the .java file will
be submitted.
3. The program will use the provided Hamming class. It will
implement the decode
function. The decode function is the reverse of the encode
function, but it also performs
single bit correction when necessary.
4. Display a message to the console when an error is corrected,
as in the example below.
5. The main function must be rewritten to read hexidecimal
numbers from hamming.txt
file and write decoded and corrected text to output.txt.
31. 6. Test the program with different input files. The instructor
will test it with a hamming.txt
file different from the one provided.
Hint: The Java hasNextInt(16) and nextInt(16) input functions
are helpful in reading
hexadecimal numbers from a file.
Upload: Your Java (.java) file.
Sample Output
File hamming.txt opened
Error in bit 9 corrected in character 2
Error in bit 3 corrected in character c
Error in bit 10 corrected in character p
File output.txt closed
Note: In addition to the output shown above, the output of this
program includes the decoded text
written to output.txt.
