This document provides guidance on choosing a topic for a research paper. It emphasizes that the topic should be something the writer is genuinely interested in and curious about. The writer should select a topic that is narrow enough to be effectively researched within the given time constraints, but not so narrow that there are insufficient sources available. Starting points for topics are provided, but the writer needs to make the topics more specific and develop a unique angle to form the basis of an argument.

This document outlines the requirements for Assignment 4, a research paper. Students are asked to pick one issue they find intriguing and research it from multiple perspectives. They will examine their initial assumptions about the issue and how their background affects their view. The bulk of the paper involves researching the "dominant discourse" around the issue, including the rhetoric and language used by supporting and opposing groups. Students should look at words, images, concepts valued by each group. Finally, students will reflect on what they learned, how their understanding changed, and the importance of gaining different perspectives on issues. The paper requires sources from books, scholarly articles, pop culture, websites, and one image, research study, or unconventional source.

Week 5 inductive essay writing copy
This document provides guidance on writing an inductive essay. It explains that an inductive essay looks at specific examples and builds a conclusion, allowing the reader to gradually understand the author's stance. The introduction should orient the reader to the topic and question without stating a conclusion. The body should interpret evidence clearly and connect it logically to the conclusion. The conclusion should follow from the evidence and answer "so what?". Research should use credible, verifiable sources and select the most important evidence.

Journalism and society term 3 week 1
This document summarizes a lecture and seminar discussion about the relationship between science and journalism. In the lecture, key points were that journalism about science is often inaccurate, with facts getting rewritten or exaggerated. The seminar discussed whether journalism is an art or a science, noting that while science is factual, not all journalism aims for objectivity. Some argued journalism should pursue truth and facts as closely as possible. The author realized journalism could be considered a science if based on research and experimentation to find the truth, though fabricating information is easy without scientific knowledge.

INSURING YOUR MORTGAGE TO SUIT YOU
Protecting your mortgage with a personal insurance plan offers more guarantees, flexibility and choice, often at a lower cost than lender-provided mortgage insurance. With a personal plan, you own the policy and can designate the beneficiary. Coverage continues even after the mortgage is paid off and pays out the total value of the insurance purchased, which remains stable over the life of the plan. Premiums are also guaranteed not to change, and the plan can be moved to new mortgages. In contrast, with lender insurance the lender owns and benefits from the policy, coverage expires when the mortgage is paid, and payout is limited to the remaining mortgage balance. The lender can also change the premiums or cancel the

The document describes a novel design of a hexagonal photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with anomalous dispersion and high birefringence. The PCF structure consists of six rings of circular air holes of varying diameters. Simulation results show the designed PCF exhibits very low dispersion of 7 ps/nm/km at 850nm, making it suitable for optical communications. It also shows high birefringence of 3×10−3 at the first optical window, making it useful for fiber optic sensors. The PCF has low confinement loss of 6×10−6 and normalized frequency less than 4.1, confirming it is a single mode fiber. This novel PCF design could be used for applications like supercontinuum generation

Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provokin.docx
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provoking questions based on the recent reading assignments, video clips and the other websites assigned.
Only complete questions will earn credit. Therefore, it is important for you to think carefully about formulating the kinds of questions intended to stimulate conversations. Ask detailed and specific, rather than broad, general questions. Do not ask, for example, ‘When was the first Mission established in California?’ Instead, ask something like ‘What is the ideological agenda behind maintaining figures like Father Junipero Serra as heroic in California textbooks?’
Other examples include:
Does recent news media coverage of the “riots” in Baltimore, Ferguson and other cities promote a message that is pro-police? If not, how does it engender understanding of the root causes of many of the frustrations of local residents?
In the film “Banned in Arizona,” why does Superintendent Tom Horne argue in favor of “individualism” and why does he say that the Mexican American Studies program encourages radical thinking? What, if anything, is radical about the way those courses teach students in Tucson, Arizona?
If the U.S. reinstated a Vietnam War era-like military draft instead of relying upon the current all-volunteer force, would current public support for war change at all? If so, how?
Please consider these guidelines in composing your questions:
1. Make certain to ask at least one question from each source.
2. Ask questions about things that interest you.
3. Write your questions as though you were asking them to the entire class.
4. Be sure to make specific reference to the readings in each question. Many good questions require at least two sentences.
5. Try and use the questions to critique the author's opinion.
6. These homework questions should attempt to raise larger issues and---when possible---to relate the readings to issues in our current world.
"This week, I want us to think about the concept of
bias
, and its application in the places we consume information. This is tricky territory because even the very presentation of this unit is fraught with bias—my personal bias, or frame of reference. I’m going to ask you to read a collection of articles that I think are important, but they all clearly have a perspective and an agenda that comes from a particular worldview. So let’s get that out in the open. Maybe nothing in your liberal arts education is free from bias, but that does not mean we shy away from considering the information, ideas, arguments and critiques.
What is bias? For the purposes of our consideration, bias is really just about a set of values that can color or distort fair judgment. We can sometimes recognize obvious bias in others, especially when people use overtly discriminatory or offensive language, or have a clear political or ideological perspective that makes everything they present go through that lens. But more than anything else, I want us to think a.

Practical Ethics
Third Edition
For thirty years, Peter Singer’s Practical Ethics has been the classic
introduction to applied ethics. For this third edition, the author
has revised and updated all the chapters and added a new chapter
addressing climate change, one of the most important ethical chal-
lenges of our generation.
Some of the questions discussed in this book concern our daily
lives. Is it ethical to buy luxuries when others do not have enough to
eat? Should we buy meat produced from intensively reared animals?
Am I doing something wrong if my carbon footprint is above the
global average? Other questions confront us as concerned citizens:
equality and discrimination on the grounds of race or sex; abortion,
the use of embryos for research, and euthanasia; political violence
and terrorism; and the preservation of our planet’s environment.
This book’s lucid style and provocative arguments make it an ideal
text for university courses and for anyone willing to think about how
she or he ought to live.
Peter Singer is currently Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at
the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University and
Laureate Professor at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public
Ethics at the University of Melbourne. He is the author or editor of
more than forty books, including Animal Liberation (1975), Rethinking
Life and Death (1996) and, most recently, The Life You Can Save (2009).
In 2005, he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the
world by Time magazine.

This document discusses different types of research: pure research, original research, and secondary research. Pure research is done simply to gain knowledge without a particular purpose, exploring various topics and sources. Original research aims to discover new information not yet found. Secondary research examines existing research from others to draw new conclusions or relationships between studies. Research can also be directed, with a specific focus or goal, or non-directed for general learning without an objective. Research challenges preconceptions and requires defining terms and considering evidence objectively.

An Introduction to Neuroscience for the Peacebuilder.pdf
This document provides an introduction to the book "Neuroscience for the Peacebuilder" by Mari Fitzduff. It discusses the author's interest in how neuroscience can help explain human behavior related to conflict and violence. The introduction describes the author's background working on conflict resolution in Northern Ireland and her realization that emotional experiences often changed people's minds more than rational arguments. It introduces concepts from fields like neuroscience, neurobiology, and political psychology that study the biological and genetic factors influencing human thought and behavior. The author aims to explore how understandings from these fields may help peacebuilders address the psychological forces that perpetuate conflicts, but notes the fields must be used carefully and not to justify discrimination.
Inquiry Spring 2016
Here are potential revisions to improve the LOI:
1. Focus on a specific aspect or element of the education system to change rather than the broad question of whether the entire system should change. For example:
Should high-stakes standardized testing be reduced or replaced in K-12 public education?
2. Provide context or rationale for why the change is being proposed. For example:
How might reducing emphasis on standardized testing in public schools allow for a more well-rounded, student-centered approach to learning?
3. Suggest exploring multiple perspectives on the issue rather than taking a definitive stance. For example:
What are the arguments for and against proposed reforms to reduce standardized testing in U.S

Research Paper
A research paper is an analytical or persuasive essay that presents and argues a thesis (evaluates a position)
What a research paper is not
A simple collection of facts on a topic
A summary of information from one or more sources
Research Paper:
From an Interest to a Topic
In choosing a topic start with what interests you most deeply
Start by listing two or three interests you might like to explore/questions that you have wondered about
Examples
If you are undertaking a research project in a specific field, skim a recent textbook, talk to other students, or consult one of your teachers
Examples
You might try to identify an interest based on work you are doing or will do in a different course
Types of topics to avoid
If you are still stuck you can find help on the internet or in your library
Standard Guides in Various Fields
Dictionaries: briefly define concepts and sometimes offer a bibliography
Encyclopedias: give more extensive overviews and usually a bibliography
Bibliographies and Indexes list past and current publications in the field
Finding dictionaries, encyclopedias, and bibliographies in particular fields:
Go to Pfau Library Home Page
Under Search For heading click on the Encyclopedias/Dictionaries link
Under Search Online Databases heading select bibliographies and type your discipline into the search bar.
Scan headings for topics that catch your interest
Once you identify a general area of interest, use the internet to find out more about the topic so that you can narrow it.
At first you may not know enough about a general interest to turn it into a focused topic.
If so, you have to do some reading to know what to think about it.
Don’t read randomly: start with entries in a general encyclopedia, then look at entries in a specialized encyclopedia or dictionary, then browse through journals and websites until you have a grip on the general shape of your topic.

Choosing a Research Topic
The document provides guidance on choosing an effective research topic. It recommends starting with a broad topic of interest and then narrowing it down by using library databases to answer questions about who, what, when, where and why. This helps formulate a research question that takes a stance and can be supported with evidence. Good research topics are narrow enough to cover in the required pages but broad enough to find information. The topic should be approachable from at least two sides and not answerable with a quick search. Examples of good and bad research questions are provided.

Speaking like a puritan – metaphoric language from act two of the crucible
Proctor describes Elizabeth's heart as being surrounded by a funeral march. Elizabeth says the magistrate sits in her heart. Proctor says he will curse someone hotter than the oldest cinder. Hale describes theology as a fortress. Francis Nurse says his wife is the brick and mortar of the church. Proctor says vengeance is walking in Salem. The document provides metaphoric language from Act Two of The Crucible and asks the reader to determine the meanings and create their own metaphor.
Shut my eyes and count to ten
The speaker is grieving the loss of someone who is no longer in their life. They miss the person greatly at every moment and in every memory, feeling their absence strongly through songs and photographs that remind them of the person. The speaker has lost control of their emotions and words due to the depth of missing this individual who is now gone from their world.
Sinnerstext.docx
The passage is a sermon warning listeners of God's wrath against sinners and their precarious situation hanging over the fires of Hell only by God's mercy. It describes sinners as weighted down by wickedness and wholly reliant on God's restraint of his vengeance. The sermon uses imagery of floods, arrows, and fire to emphasize how inescapable divine wrath will be once released and how foolish it would be for listeners to remain in such a perilous state. It aims to frighten listeners into accepting Jesus Christ anew to escape this doom.
Anne bradstreet
Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672) was born in London to a Puritan nobleman father. She married Simon Bradstreet, a graduate of Cambridge University, when she was 16 years old. In 1630, she sailed with her father and husband from England to Boston to settle in Massachusetts. Bradstreet spent the rest of her life in New England, caring for her eight children and frequently falling ill in the wilderness. Her poetry collection, published in 1650, was remarkable as the first volume of poems published by an American and one of the first volumes of poetry in English written by a woman. The poem "To My Dear and Loving Husband" expresses her deep love for her husband.

This rubric evaluates junior thesis presentations on several criteria including content, style, delivery, visual aids, preparation, and time. For each criterion, it provides descriptors to assess effectiveness as highly effective (5 points), effective (4 points), developing (3 points), or unacceptable (2 points). The highest scores are for presentations with thorough, logical content; clear, precise language; confident delivery with eye contact; visual aids that enhance rather than distract; and obvious evidence of practice and preparation within the required time limit. Lower scores are for presentations with underdeveloped, illogical arguments; unclear language; lack of eye contact or confidence; over-reliance on visual aids or notes; and insufficient preparation or rehearsal. The total score reflects
Thesis oralguidelines.docx
Junior thesis oral presentation guidelines require a 4-6 minute oral presentation of the thesis topic using PowerPoint, Prezi, or Google Presentation. When preparing the presentation, students should make an outline and script, introduce the topic in the introduction, present evidence and address any controversies in the body, and conclude by explaining how the topic might affect the audience's lives. Students should rehearse their delivery, time their presentation, use notecards, maintain eye contact, and focus on body language and pronunciation. Visual aids like images, graphs, and infographics should clarify and enhance the presentation with as little text as possible in a clear, simple format.
Ted talk analysis
This document provides instructions for students to watch a TED Talk video, identify the speaker's claim, and analyze how the speaker uses ethical, emotional, and logical appeals as well as rhetorical devices to effectively persuade the audience to believe the claim. Students are directed to complete a graphic organizer by providing evidence from the talk that supports the different appeals and rhetorical devices used. They are then asked whether the presenter was effective in persuading the audience and why.
Nature journaling
This document provides instructions for nature journaling, which involves going outside without electronics, listening to and observing nature, taking notes on location, weather, plants, and human impacts, and writing for at least an hour to fill at least 2 pages of a journal with narrative accounts, poetry, drawings, or pressed plants about the experience. Key steps are to go outside and listen to nature's sounds without distractions, incorporate feelings and observations into writing, note specifics of the outing, and continue writing spontaneously without editing to capture impressions.
Emerson aphorism
This document defines the term "aphorism" as an observation that contains a general truth or principle written in a memorable form that is short and concise but packs meaning. It instructs readers to look for and mark up Emerson's aphorism tweets, connections to other works and their own lives, and questions while paying special attention to Emerson's deliberate word choices and sentence structures, asking why he chose them.
From self reliance
Emerson argues that true genius and self-reliance means speaking your own internal convictions rather than conforming to external traditions or the opinions of others. He believes we should have faith in our own thoughts and impressions, even if they contradict the views of society. True greatness requires nonconformity and being misunderstood rather than seeking the approval of others through imitation or conformity. We should remain true to our own mind and individuality.
Self reliance questions.docx
Emerson's "Self-Reliance" text provides 8 multiple choice questions about the passage. The questions assess understanding of vocabulary, figurative language, central ideas, tone, and allusions. They require determining the meaning of the word "latent", analyzing figurative language, identifying the central advice given, and understanding how historical figures are used to support arguments in the text. Overall, the questions gauge comprehension of key elements in Emerson's discussion of self-reliance.

American transcendentalism good copy
Transcendentalism was a 19th century philosophical movement that emphasized intuition, inspiration, and nature. It was influenced by German idealism and opposed religious dogma. Prominent transcendentalists like Emerson and Thoreau believed in living close to nature, self-reliance, non-conformity, and that spiritual truths could be directly experienced.
From nature
In the opening pages of his first book, Nature (1836), Emerson argues that habit and tradition have become a way of living secondhand, by the ideas and truths of former times. In contrast is the renewal of the spirit offered by nature, which enlarges our own vision and empowers us to create “our own works and laws...” Later, Emerson describes how nature restores the tone of the mind and body worn down by work or poor company. He also notes how the changing beauty of nature satisfies the human spirit and can make us feel god-like without any physical benefits.
Arg essay texts
After putting a box of old poetry manuscripts in the trash, a professor was reported to police by a student as a "Middle Eastern man" acting suspiciously. This led to an evacuation of campus buildings and cancellation of classes as the bomb squad investigated. It was revealed to be just recycling. However, the incident showed how an innocent action by a person of color can be viewed as a threat due to a culture of fear and profiling. While the university denied the report was racially motivated, the professor was deeply troubled by the profiling and atmosphere of suspicion it revealed.
Writing from sources rubric
This document provides scoring criteria for argument essays that analyze multiple texts. It evaluates essays across 5 levels based on their demonstration of content and analysis, command of evidence, coherence and organization, and control of conventions. The highest level introduces insightful claims and in-depth text analysis. Lower levels introduce less precise claims and demonstrate less accurate or confused text analysis. All levels are expected to cite evidence from the texts, but higher levels do so more fully and thoughtfully. Organization, language usage, and grammar are also assessed, with the top levels exhibiting sophisticated writing. An essay must address all assigned texts and make references to them to score above a 3. Personal responses or copies of the task/texts would receive lower scores.
paragraph planning sheet
The document provides instructions for answering a question about how stereotyping and mistrusting groups is justified. It directs the reader to analyze three sources on related topics and use evidence from them to give two reasons for an answer, citing the source and including a quote or example plus an explanation of how it supports the reason. A concluding statement should tie the reasons together and address why the issue matters.

Choosing a topic
- 1. CHOOSING A TOPIC Choosing a topic is one of, if not THE MOST, important tasks in your research. You have to choose something that interests you. You will do best if you are motivated by a real curiosity. You should select a topic that you would read about, even if not forced to by me. Start watching the news/reading the newspaper for ideas. This paper is a mix of researching, learning, arguing, organizing, and storytelling. All of it will be done to answer the question, “So what?” This is way past telling us all about the Civil War or Abortion. This is taking one of those broader topics and framing it in a way that is interesting and unique. Note that you don’t need to create a thesis statement immediately. This is different. But you need to select a topic that provides you the avenue to eventually formulate a creative and intelligent argument. Lastly, ask yourself if there are enough sources and if there is enough time to effectively research and argue your topic in the time that you’re given. For example, you likely won’t want to research the entire Civil War. Nor will you want to research life on an obscure island off the coast of South Africa. But you may try propaganda during the Civil War or the lifestyles of coastal island communities.
