Essay ENG 130: Literary Response for Setting
Sources: Choose one of the stories that you read in Unit 2/Setting Unit
“To Build a Fire” by Jack London
“The Storm” by Kate Chopin
“This is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona” by Alexie

Prompt (What are you writing about?):
How does Setting affect/contribute to the plot of your chosen story?
Note: Remember that Setting is not only the place in which a story occurs. It is also mood,
weather, time, and atmosphere. These things drive other parts of the story.
How to get started:
Choose a story from this unit and discern all the elements of the Setting.
Decide in what three ways the setting contributes to the plot of your chosen story.
Formulate a thesis about setting and these three areas.
Mini lesson on thesis statements:
If you were writing about Star Wars, a sample thesis might read:
The setting in the Star Wars movies contributes to the desperateness of the
Resistance forces, provides a vast space for action and conflicts to occur,
focuses on how advances will affect society.
Broken down, this thesis would read:
The Setting in the Star Wars movies:
a. contributes to the desperateness of the Resistance forces (write
a supporting section with text examples)
b. provides a vast space for action and conflicts to occur, focuses
on how advances will affect society (write a supporting section
with text examples)
c. focuses on how advances will affect society (write a supporting
section with text examples)
Ask yourself, what is the setting of my story and how does it affect the plot
in the story?
For example, it is apparent that in London’s “To Build a Fire,” you would
devote a supporting section to how the weather conditions drive both the
conflict and the character’s actions.
After you have made connections to the three areas that setting affects, then
form your thesis. Here is a template for your thesis:
The Setting in author’s name and title of the story, contributes to first way
in which the setting affects the story, second way in which setting affects
the story, third way in which setting affects the story.

Eng 101
e3 The “Summary + Response” ESSAY: Writing based on reading about language, culture & identity
The summary+response essay requires you to use and engage with other written materials - that is, ideas and quotations from other writers - in an essay.
Articles: Tan, "Mother Tongue" (127-132)
In your essay, you will (A) present the writer's ideas accurately and fairly, using your skills in summarizing, paraphrasing, and using quotations. And you will (B) present a thoughtful response, in which you take a stand on the major issue of the original.
You don't need additional information from the internet and you don't need to look for any more sources. If you do want to use another source, you need to clear it with your instructor.
Preliminary Steps
1. Read, re-read, annotate the article you chose.
2. Complete the "Responding to Writing" worksheet to help clarify and organize your thoughts on the issues.
3. Be able to summarize and paraphrase the material accurately.
A Possible Outline for Your Essay
Your essay might be organized something like this, in which each of the first-level bullets would be one or more ¶s:
• Open: Introduce the issues in a general way, possibly without mentioning the article/author yet.
• Introduce & briefly summarize the main article:
· Summarize the main, relevant ideas of the article and include important details. (Include the author's full name and title of the article.)
· Note that you will also refer to and summarize and quote from the article in the response section of the essay, so you don't need to provide a complete, detailed summary here.
• Respond:
· You will probably use some of the ideas you generated in the "Responding to Writing" worksheet.
· Discuss and offer some analysis of the issues raised in the article, and possibly comment on how the author has presented them, how convincing her/his evidence is, and so on.
· Present your own perspectives, thoughts, and perhaps feelings on the issues. You might describe your own life experiences or experiences of friends, as they relate to the issues in question.
· In this response section you need to be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them (with logic, with illustrative examples, maybe with more quotes from the article).
· If you wish, you can bring in a couple of ideas/quotes from one or two of the additional articles to supplement or support your points.
· This section should be presented in logically organized, focused paragraphs.
• Close: Wrap up the essay in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Think it through!
Don't just grab onto the first thought that comes to you, an initial and superficial reaction. Consider your thoughts and feelings, think hard about the topic and what you have read about it, and form a coherent and thoughtful response.
In a thoughtful response, you don't need to solve or resolve the problem or the issue. You don't have to try to have the "last word" on the topic. Saying that it's troubling (or not) or an im ...
Please read and follow all information carefully. For this week as.docxmattjtoni51554
Please read and follow all information carefully. For this week assignment you will need to use my first initial OR last initial for this assignment. You can use my first initial which is the letter “S” or my last initial which is “D” to do the assignment as follow. You can just put the Letter and I will fill in the rest.
"The Global Side of HRIS" Please respond to the following:
For this week, choose a country that begins with the same letter as either your first or last name. For example, my last name is Agada so I decide to choose Australia, or my first name is Danielle so I select Denmark. Then, imagine that your current organization, or one that you are familiar with, has decided to expand globally into the country you have chosen. Provide background information on the country, and then examine two to three (2-3) of the complexities and challenges you would likely face in designing, developing, and implementing an HRIS in that country. Recommend a strategy to meet each challenge that you identified, and explain the reasons why you believe your strategy would be effective.

Essay ENG 130: Literary Response for Setting
Sources: Choose one of the stories that you read in Unit 2/Setting Unit
“To Build a Fire” by Jack London
“The Storm” by Kate Chopin
“This is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona” by Alexie
“The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe
Prompt (What are you writing about?):
How does Setting affect/contribute to the plot of your chosen story?
Note: Remember that Setting is not only the place in which a story occurs. It is also mood,
weather, time, and atmosphere. These things drive other parts of the story.
How to get started:
Choose a story from this unit and discern all the elements of the Setting.
Decide in what three ways the setting contributes to the plot of your chosen story.
Formulate a thesis about setting and these three areas.
Mini lesson on thesis statements:
If you were writing about Star Wars, a sample thesis might read:
The setting in the Star Wars movies contributes to the desperateness of the
Resistance forces, provides a vast space for action and conflicts to occur,
focuses on how advances will affect society.
Broken down, this thesis would read:

b. provides a vast space for action and conflicts to occur, focuses
on how advances will affect society (write a supporting section
with text examples)
c. focuses on how advances will affect society (write a supporting
section with text examples)
Ask yourself, what is the setting of my story and how does it affect the plot
in the story?
For example, it is apparent that in London’s “To Build a Fire,” you would
devote a supporting section to how the weather conditions drive both the
conflict and the character’s actions.
After you have made connections to the three areas that setting affects, then
form your thesis. Here is a template for your thesis:
The Setting in author’s name and title of the story, contributes to first way

e3 The “Summary + Response” ESSAY: Writing based on reading about language, culture & identity
The summary+response essay requires you to use and engage with other written materials - that is, ideas and quotations from other writers - in an essay.
Articles: Tan, "Mother Tongue" (127-132)
In your essay, you will (A) present the writer's ideas accurately and fairly, using your skills in summarizing, paraphrasing, and using quotations. And you will (B) present a thoughtful response, in which you take a stand on the major issue of the original.
You don't need additional information from the internet and you don't need to look for any more sources. If you do want to use another source, you need to clear it with your instructor.
Preliminary Steps
1. Read, re-read, annotate the article you chose.
2. Complete the "Responding to Writing" worksheet to help clarify and organize your thoughts on the issues.
3. Be able to summarize and paraphrase the material accurately.
A Possible Outline for Your Essay
Your essay might be organized something like this, in which each of the first-level bullets would be one or more ¶s:
• Open: Introduce the issues in a general way, possibly without mentioning the article/author yet.
• Introduce & briefly summarize the main article:
· Summarize the main, relevant ideas of the article and include important details. (Include the author's full name and title of the article.)
· Note that you will also refer to and summarize and quote from the article in the response section of the essay, so you don't need to provide a complete, detailed summary here.
• Respond:
· You will probably use some of the ideas you generated in the "Responding to Writing" worksheet.
· Discuss and offer some analysis of the issues raised in the article, and possibly comment on how the author has presented them, how convincing her/his evidence is, and so on.
· Present your own perspectives, thoughts, and perhaps feelings on the issues. You might describe your own life experiences or experiences of friends, as they relate to the issues in question.
· In this response section you need to be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them (with logic, with illustrative examples, maybe with more quotes from the article).
· If you wish, you can bring in a couple of ideas/quotes from one or two of the additional articles to supplement or support your points.
· This section should be presented in logically organized, focused paragraphs.
• Close: Wrap up the essay in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Think it through!
Don't just grab onto the first thought that comes to you, an initial and superficial reaction. Consider your thoughts and feelings, think hard about the topic and what you have read about it, and form a coherent and thoughtful response.
In a thoughtful response, you don't need to solve or resolve the problem or the issue. You don't have to try to have the "last word" on the topic. Saying that it's troubling (or not) or an im ...

Draft due Week 5 and worth 50 points
Revision due Week 7 and worth 150 points
Have you ever needed just the facts?
At times a formal, objectively written approach is more appropriate or even critical for establishing credibility so that your
audience will listen and get informed! The key to informative writing is making the shift from personal opinion to objec-
tive facts. This assignment will provide you with the important opportunity to practice making this shift to a style that is
required in so many workplaces and throughout your academic program.
For this assignment, you will write an informative essay on the topic you have previously chosen. You will need to identify
a problem, need, or process related to your topic. Then you will inform your audience and provide supporting evidence
from a minimum of two credible sources that have been provided in the webtext. Keep in mind, you will continue to use
the standard essay format: Introduction paragraph with a thesis statement, body paragraphs that specifically support the
points in your thesis statement, and a conclusion paragraph.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following:
1. Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper.
a. Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
b. Do you sound impartial, informative/explanatory, and professional? How do you want your reader to feel?
(trust, smarter/informed)
c. Is the tone formal and factual?
2. Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7
sentences.
a. Does my introduction get the reader’s attention by using an intriguing statistic, quote, question, or scenario?
b. Does my introduction explain the context and state the importance of the problem/issue?
c. Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that can be debated from a different perspec-
tive?
d. Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
3. Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3) points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggest-
ed that each paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences.
a. Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics?
b. Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have?
c. Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation?
4. Write with logic and with transitions throughout your paper.
a. Are your ideas consistent and well-organized, i.e., chronological order or order of importance?
b. Do your ideas flow from one sentence to the next and one paragraph to the next, in the order presented in your
thesis statement?
5. Write a conclusion paragraph. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.

Points: 100
Overview:
Over the course of the last few units, you have been working on crafting the argument
for your Argument Essay. You will now write an argument essay that answers one of
these questions.
The essay should answer ONE of these questions:
1. Should climate change be considered a real issue or a hoax?
2. Should the United States have universal health care?
3. Should employers have access to employee’s social media content?
Each of the above questions relate to one of the issues you have already written about
in the Unit 4 Assignment: Pro and Con of an Issue. Now, choose one side of the issue
to develop into an argument essay.
You should answer ONE of the above questions in a well-thought out and developed
argument essay with:
• A clear introduction that sets up the issue, explains your topics, and ends with your
thesis statement.
• Body paragraphs focusing on one topic in support of your argument in each paragraph.
o You need three reliable and academic sources for this assignment in support of
your argument. You should include evidence that is directly quoted, paraphrased,
or summarized to support each topic. The evidence should have appropriate in-
text citations.
o You will typically want to include one piece of evidence in the body of each
paragraph, as you did in the paragraph and pro/con assignment. You are not
required to include a source about the counterargument (other side of your
argument), but you may if you would like.
• Then, end with a conclusion that wraps up your essay’s argument and leaves the reader
with something to consider about your issue.
ENG110 – College Writing
Argument Essay
• Include a references page for the three sources you used in your essay.
You can use the ideas from your Pro/Con paragraphs in your argument essay, but
they should be revised and reworded so that you are not just resubmitting your
Unit 4 assignment.
Argument Essay and Third Person, Objective Writing
We have probably all had to argue for a position we held. What makes someone
receptive to your argument? Normally, the audience is more willing to listen to your
position if you argue for it objectively and avoid unreasonable, argumentative tactics.
Your argument needs to be logical and fair, giving people the ability to disagree with
you.
Your argument also should be written in the third person to show that you can be
objective, meaning you use “He,” “she,” “they,” “people,” “one” and do not use “I,” “me,”
“we,” “us,” “our,” “you,” and “your.”
Instructions:
• Create an argument essay that answers ONE of the above questions.
• You should have a well-articulated argument essay with an introduction, body
paragraphs (with evidence), conclusion, and a references page.

What is a personal essay? It’s one of many types of formal essays. All formal essays maintain the same basic structure: Introduction
with a thesis statement, supporting paragraphs, and conclusion. The personal essay is a narrative in which the author writes about
an experience that was highly meaningful (usually a lesson was learned). For this assignment, choose a topic and discuss three
reasons why the topic is important to you. The topic choices are presented in your WebText. To make this a personal essay, it’s
important to include one or more stories from your life that demonstrate why your selected topic is meaningful to you.
Important note: Personal Essays DO NOT incorporate any type of research from the WebText or outside sources. If you have written
a Personal Essay in a previous course, please reach out to your professor to see if you can re-use it. You are not permitted to use ANY
paper from an unrelated current or past course.
INSTRUCTIONS:
You are required to use your WebText to draft your essay in the templates!
Compose a two (2) page paper in which you do the following:
A. Structure Your Paper: Story, Introduction, Supporting/Body, Conclusion
1. Incorporate a story from your life into one or more of the following sections: introduction, supporting/body
paragraph(s), or conclusion.

Details:
Doctoral researchers must be able to manage statistical data in order to draw conclusions about the data from a research study. This assignment will allow you to practice your skills in working with standard deviation, hypotheses, and standard error.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
· Read each segment of this assignment carefully. There is information in the segment that will guide your completion.
· Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
· This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.
Directions:
In an essay of 250-500 words, thoroughly address the following items and respond to the related questions:
1. Define the term standard deviation. Why is it important to know the standard deviation for a given sample? What do researchers learn about a normal distribution from knowledge of the standard deviation? A sample of n=20 has a mean of M = 40. If the standard deviation is s=5, would a score of X= 55 be considered an extreme value? Why or why not?
2. Hypothesis testing allows researchers to use sample data, taken from a larger population, to draw inferences (i.e., conclusions) about the population from which the sample came. Hypothesis testing is one of the most commonly used inferential procedures. Define and thoroughly explain the terms null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. How are they used in hypothesis testing?
3. Define the term standard error. Why is the standard error important in research using sample distributions? Consider the following scenario: A random sample obtained from a population has a mean of µ=100 and a standard deviation of σ = 20. The error between the sample mean and the population mean for a sample of n = 16 is 5 points and the error between a sample men and population mean for a sample of n = 100 is 2 points. Explain the difference in the standard error for the two samples.
Rubric-
The term standard deviation is defined correctly in a thorough manner. All of the follow-up questions are correctly answered in a thorough manner.
The terms null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis are defined correctly and thoroughly. The application of these terms to hypothesis testing is thorough and indicative of deep understanding of the concepts.
The term standard error is defined correctly in a thorough manner. All of the follow-up ques.

PSYC 2301 & PSYC 2319 SEMESTER ASSIGNMENT
ARTICLE CRITIQUE
Purpose:
This assignment is to help the student improve his/her ability to use a library database to locate primary references, to improve their ability to paraphrase information, to create a more objective mindset in evaluating data, and to develop a document using a scientific approach to writing (American Psychological Association (APA) style). Please be aware that it IS NOT POSSIBLE to pass this course without doing this assignment.
Components:
Step 1: Database Assignment: Locate the Psychology Research Guide through the El Centro Library website, and using one of the two databases listed to locate a professional, research based, journal article from a psychology related journal. To qualify: the journal must be a professional (not student) psychology academic journal, must be published in the past five years, and must be research-oriented. The article must have full text availability and must have references. You may seek the help of a librarian, but you must be able to locate the article yourself if asked to do so. You MUST upload your article to the appropriate eCampus link for my approval BEFORE you proceed with the rest of the assignment.
Step 2: Creating a Cover Page and a References Page: In this assignment you are asked to create a cover page and a reference page based on the article you selected from the library database. Once you begin this assignment, you must use the article you selected for the rest of the semester. The cover page and the references page must adhere to APA standards, and they will be graded accordingly. The Cover page must have an APA running head and title which are appropriately related to the content of the article. The running head must also be placed correctly formatted on all pages of the assignment as shown on the template. The Title Page must accurately contain the required information as detailed on the template. The Reference Page must present author name(s) and initials, year of publication, title of article, title of journal, volume number, issue number, page numbers, and the digital object identifier (DOI) if available. You are required to place this in the appropriate APA style, double spaced and with a hanging indentation of .5 inches. Title and Reference pages that are not correctly done according to APA style will not be accepted and must be redone before moving on to the next step of the overall assignment.
Step 3: Writing an Introduction: In this assignment, you must indicate why the authors considered this to be important research and why they approached the topic as they did. This assignment is expected to involve a full page and must include appropriate citations, including both parenthetical and non-parenthetical citations.
Step 4: Writing the Summary: Provide an in-depth summary of the article. This must include the who, what, when, where, and how of the articl ...

ASSIGNMENT 2: STANCE ESSAY DRAFT
Due Week 7 and worth 100 points
For your next assignment, you will write a stance essay. A stance essay takes a position on a topic and argues and supports that
position with evidence. Consider your topic:
· What possible positions/arguments are there?
· What position resonates with you? (Which position do you believe is correct?)
· What are your main points?
· What are the counterpoints? Are you ready to dispute them?
· Do you have enough evidence to effectively support your argument?
For the stance essay, your personal voice (your perspective) should come through. This is just like assignment 1, except you should
maintain a formal tone.For this essay, you will need to support your points with credible sources. You’re ready to take a position on
the topic you have been writing about!
Important note: Stance Essays DO incorporate research exclusively from the WebText. DO NOT use outside sources. If you have
written a Stance Essay in a previous course, please reach out to your professor to see if you can re-use it. You are not permitted to
use ANY paper from an unrelated current or past course.

Read Lecture 3. React to the material in this lecture. Is there anything you found to be unclear about setting up and using Excel for these statistical techniques? Looking at the data, present an ANOVA on the differences by grade mean on a variable—other than compa-ratio or salary—you feel might be important in answering our equal pay for equal work question. Interpret your results.
Learning more about the chai square was good for me, especially as I struggled with this concept in the recent past. The first chai square test is the goodness of fit text, and the second is contingency table test for independence. It’s good to go through Excel and actually do some hands on learning. Because I wanted to work out the chai square I sued the Fx Stastistal function, found in the lecture between steps 4 and 5. I feel like going through these questions in lecture 3 went by quicker than lecture 2, which is a major plus for me.

ENG 130: Argumentative Research Essay
Background:
You have completed research on August Wilson, his life, and his plays.
You have completed reading/viewing Fences by August Wilson.
You have read the resources on Conflict in this unit.
Prompt (what will you be writing about):
Which conflict does Wilson use most to drive (bring forth, move forward) all the other
elements of the story?
Choose ONE that you feel is more apparent and easier to defend than the others.
o Troy vs Society
o Troy vs Himself
o Troy vs Family
o Troy vs Death
Helpful Notes:
Thesis:
o Your thesis is the response to the prompt question plus the supporting areas
that you will be using to defend your argument. Be sure to have a thesis that
clearly states which conflict you feel is the most important and drives the other
conflicts.
o Your thesis could begin with, “In the play, Fences, August Wilson uses the
conflict of __________ to drive the other conflicts and elements of the story as
evidenced by….
Sources and evidence:
o Be sure to use things that you have learned about Wilson’s life and his writings.
For example, if you are analyzing Troy and his father’s conflict, you could bring
in information that you researched about Wilson’s relationship with his own
father.
o Include direct quotations from the play. To cite a direct quote from a play, the
format is:
“quotation” (Wilson,1985, act #, scene #, line #).
OR
As Wilson (1985) writes, “quote” (act#, scene #, line#).
o Use at least three outside sources. Two of them could be from your previous
research essay. Be sure to include all of these in your reference page.
Requirements:
Length and format: 3-4 pages.
The title page and reference page are also required, but they should not be factored
into the 3-4 page length of the essay.
It should also be double spaced, written in Times New Roman, in 12 point font and

“we,” etc.
Use APA format for in-text citations and references when using outside sources and
textual evidence.
Skills to be assessed with this assignment: creating effective thesis statements,
incorporating research, analyzing rhetoric.
Please be cautious about plagiarism. Make sure to use in-text citations for direct
quotes, paraphrases, and new information.

Essay ENG 130:
Developing an Argument
Due: 11:59 PM EST Sunday of Unit 4.
Length and format: 2-3 pages. The title page and reference page are also required, but they
should not be factored into the 2-3 page length of the essay. It should also be double
spaced, written in Times New Roman, and in 12 point font. Essay should conform to APA
formatting and citation style.
Instructions:
By definition, faith is believing in something without actually requiring concrete proof.
Conformity is abiding by certain rules, laws, and other societal norms. A person who
conforms often must follow specific rules.
The authors of both “Salvation” and “The Five Glorious Mysteries” create stories that deal
with the themes of faith and conformity. However, the characters’ words and actions do not
actually always add up to their viewpoint on faith and conformity. What does it mean to
speak one way but act in another manner? Select one of the essays from this unit, and form
an argument about what the author is trying to say about actions vs. words.
The requirements for Essay 4 are:
• Describe the effectiveness of the author’s argument.
o Select textual evidence from the essay to support your position.
• Analyze the examples used in the author’s essay.
o Develop topics that act to prove your argument.
o Support your argument with specific textual evidence.
• Include an APA title page.
• Use the objective voice, avoiding personal pronouns such as “I,” “you,” “we,” etc.
• Use APA format for in-text citations and References when using outside sources and
textual evidence.

Writing Assignment Illustration Essay You are required to s.docxbillylewis37150
Writing Assignment: Illustration Essay
You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional
DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should
always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the
course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader
specifically notes.
In short, an illustration essay will use clear, interesting examples to show, explain, and
support a thesis statement (remember, your thesis is your main argument, or the main
point you’re trying to make). One key to an effective illustration essay is to use enough
details and specific examples to make your point effectively. In other words, descriptive
writing is key.
You have several options for this assignment, so you will need to choose one:
Illustrate the ideal work environment. If everything was perfect at work, what would
it be like? Describe everything in this environment—perhaps from the dispositions of
your coworkers and supervisors to what clothes you wear to work.
Illustrate what it means to be a “true friend.” What does being a “true friend” mean
to you? What “true friends” have you had, and how do their actions coincide with
being your definition of a “true friend?”
Illustrate how your favorite team or player received their current standing or
ranking. How did the team or player do in the most recent season? What qualities did
this team or player demonstrate to earn this ranking?
Look at your favorite poem or short story, and use illustration to explain what
makes it your favorite. Do you enjoy the author’s language? Do you enjoy the
storyline? What else do you enjoy that makes it your favorite?
Illustrate the purpose of props on the set of your favorite media production. What
props are there? Why are they important?
Illustrate how to create your favorite dish. What steps are required to create this
dish? Be sure that you take your audience through this process step by step!
Illustrate how to play your favorite game. What steps and/or actions are necessary
to play this game? Take your readers through the motions, step by step.
The questions above are designed to help you begin brainstorming ideas; however, you are
free to develop your own brainstorming questions and use them to develop your essay.
Since the purpose of this essay is to illustrate, you should have enough specific details and
examples for your essay to be considered an illustration essay.
Many illustrations may come from your personal experiences. However, even personal
experiences should be supported by research in college essays. Thus, you must cite at least
one credible1 source to earn maximum credit for this essay. This resource from the course

A solid paper, responding appropriately
to assignment. Clearly states a
thesis/central idea, but may have minor
lapses in development. Begins to
acknowledge the complexity of central
idea and the possibility of other points
of view. Shows careful reading of
sources, but may not evaluate them
critically. Attempts to define terms, not

depending on platitudes or clichés.
Usually does not acknowledge other

Uses a logical structure appropriate to

transitional sentences often develop one
idea from the previous one or identify their
logical relations. It guides the reader
through the chain of reasoning or
progression of ideas.
Shows a logical progression of ideas and
uses fairly sophisticated transitional
devices; e.g., may move from least to
more important idea. Some logical links
may be faulty, but each paragraph
clearly relates to paper’s central idea.
May list ideas or arrange them
randomly rather than using any
evident logical structure. May use
transitions, but they are likely to be
sequential (first, second, third) rather
than logic-based. While each
paragraph may relate to central idea,
logic is not always clear. Paragraphs
have topic sentences but may be
overly general, and arrangement of
sentences within paragraphs may
lack coherence.
May have random organization,
lacking internal paragraph
coherence and using few or
inappropriate transitions.
Paragraphs may lack topic
sentences or main ideas, or may be

Over the past 16 years, only two building permits for new housing construction have been issued in Sedgwick County, Colorado. This is consistent with the depopulation (particularly of younger persons) and economic diminution that is attributed to a declining rainfall since the 1970s. These are quantitative details. It is unclear how much of the depopulation was due to perceived opportunities elsewhere, to copycat or fad behavior, and to perceived change in local economic opportunity.
This is the only situation where the researcher can offer his/her own perspective as data for the study. How does the researcher guard against the limitations of his/her existing bias?

ASSIGNMENT 2: INFORMATIVE ESSAY
Draft due Week 5 and worth 50 points
Revision due Week 7 and worth 150 points
Have you ever needed just the facts?
At times a formal, objectively written approach is more appropriate or even critical for establishing credibility so that your
audience will listen and get informed! The key to informative writing is making the shift from personal opinion to objec-
tive facts. This assignment will provide you with the important opportunity to practice making this shift to a style that is
required in so many workplaces and throughout your academic program.
For this assignment, you will write an informative essay on the topic you have previously chosen. You will need to identify
a problem, need, or process related to your topic. Then you will inform your audience and provide supporting evidence
from a minimum of two credible sources that have been provided in the webtext. Keep in mind, you will continue to use
the standard essay format: Introduction paragraph with a thesis statement, body paragraphs that specifically support the
points in your thesis statement, and a conclusion paragraph.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following:
1. Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper.
a. Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
b. Do you sound impartial, informative/explanatory, and professional? How do you want your reader to feel?
(trust, smarter/informed)
c. Is the tone formal and factual?
2. Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7
sentences.
a. Does my introduction get the reader’s attention by using an intriguing statistic, quote, question, or scenario?
b. Does my introduction explain the context and state the importance of the problem/issue?
c. Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that can be debated from a different perspec-
tive?
d. Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
3. Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3) points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggest-
ed that each paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences.
a. Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics?
b. Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have?
c. Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation?
4. Write with logic and with transitions throughout your paper.
a. Are your ideas consistent and well-organized, i.e., chronological order or order of importance?
b. Do your ideas flow from one sentence to the next and one paragraph to the next, in the order presented in your
thesis statement?
5. Write a conclusion paragraph. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.

Due Date: 11:59 p.m. EST, Sunday, of Unit 7
Points: 100
Overview:
Over the course of the last few units, you have been working on crafting the argument
for your Argument Essay. You will now write an argument essay that answers one of
these questions.
The essay should answer ONE of these questions:
1. Should climate change be considered a real issue or a hoax?
2. Should the United States have universal health care?
3. Should employers have access to employee’s social media content?
Each of the above questions relate to one of the issues you have already written about
in the Unit 4 Assignment: Pro and Con of an Issue. Now, choose one side of the issue
to develop into an argument essay.
You should answer ONE of the above questions in a well-thought out and developed
argument essay with:
• A clear introduction that sets up the issue, explains your topics, and ends with your
thesis statement.
• Body paragraphs focusing on one topic in support of your argument in each paragraph.
o You need three reliable and academic sources for this assignment in support of
your argument. You should include evidence that is directly quoted, paraphrased,
or summarized to support each topic. The evidence should have appropriate in-
text citations.
o You will typically want to include one piece of evidence in the body of each
paragraph, as you did in the paragraph and pro/con assignment. You are not
required to include a source about the counterargument (other side of your
argument), but you may if you would like.
• Then, end with a conclusion that wraps up your essay’s argument and leaves the reader
with something to consider about your issue.
ENG110 – College Writing
Argument Essay
• Include a references page for the three sources you used in your essay.
You can use the ideas from your Pro/Con paragraphs in your argument essay, but
they should be revised and reworded so that you are not just resubmitting your
Unit 4 assignment.
Argument Essay and Third Person, Objective Writing
We have probably all had to argue for a position we held. What makes someone
receptive to your argument? Normally, the audience is more willing to listen to your
position if you argue for it objectively and avoid unreasonable, argumentative tactics.
Your argument needs to be logical and fair, giving people the ability to disagree with
you.
Your argument also should be written in the third person to show that you can be
objective, meaning you use “He,” “she,” “they,” “people,” “one” and do not use “I,” “me,”
“we,” “us,” “our,” “you,” and “your.”
Instructions:
• Create an argument essay that answers ONE of the above questions.
• You should have a well-articulated argument essay with an introduction, body
paragraphs (with evidence), conclusion, and a references page.
Requirements:
• Please submit a Microsoft Word document or PDF.
• The essay should be three to four pages in length ...

What is a personal essay? It’s one of many types of formal essays. All formal essays maintain the same basic structure: Introduction
with a thesis statement, supporting paragraphs, and conclusion. The personal essay is a narrative in which the author writes about
an experience that was highly meaningful (usually a lesson was learned). For this assignment, choose a topic and discuss three
reasons why the topic is important to you. The topic choices are presented in your WebText. To make this a personal essay, it’s
important to include one or more stories from your life that demonstrate why your selected topic is meaningful to you.
Important note: Personal Essays DO NOT incorporate any type of research from the WebText or outside sources. If you have written
a Personal Essay in a previous course, please reach out to your professor to see if you can re-use it. You are not permitted to use ANY
paper from an unrelated current or past course.
INSTRUCTIONS:
You are required to use your WebText to draft your essay in the templates!
Compose a two (2) page paper in which you do the following:
A. Structure Your Paper: Story, Introduction, Supporting/Body, Conclusion
1. Incorporate a story from your life into one or more of the following sections: introduction, supporting/body
paragraph(s), or conclusion.
a. Is your personal story relevant to your topic?
b. Is your personal story structured effectively, with a clear progression of events?
c. Is your language descriptive and precise?
d. Do you include an appropriate level of detail in your story – just enough to help the reader understand
your main points?

5-7 sentences.
a. Does your introduction include an attention grabber or hook, and/or some background information on
the topic?
b. If you are using a personal story in your introduction, is it relevant to your topic?

Due Date: Oct 20, 2015 23:59:59 Max Points: 145
Details:
Doctoral researchers must be able to manage statistical data in order to draw conclusions about the data from a research study. This assignment will allow you to practice your skills in working with standard deviation, hypotheses, and standard error.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
· Read each segment of this assignment carefully. There is information in the segment that will guide your completion.
· Instructors will be using a grading rubric to grade the assignments. It is recommended that learners review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment in order to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.
· Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
· This assignment requires that at least two additional scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included.
Directions:
In an essay of 250-500 words, thoroughly address the following items and respond to the related questions:
1. Define the term standard deviation. Why is it important to know the standard deviation for a given sample? What do researchers learn about a normal distribution from knowledge of the standard deviation? A sample of n=20 has a mean of M = 40. If the standard deviation is s=5, would a score of X= 55 be considered an extreme value? Why or why not?
2. Hypothesis testing allows researchers to use sample data, taken from a larger population, to draw inferences (i.e., conclusions) about the population from which the sample came. Hypothesis testing is one of the most commonly used inferential procedures. Define and thoroughly explain the terms null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. How are they used in hypothesis testing?
3. Define the term standard error. Why is the standard error important in research using sample distributions? Consider the following scenario: A random sample obtained from a population has a mean of µ=100 and a standard deviation of σ = 20. The error between the sample mean and the population mean for a sample of n = 16 is 5 points and the error between a sample men and population mean for a sample of n = 100 is 2 points. Explain the difference in the standard error for the two samples.
Rubric-
The term standard deviation is defined correctly in a thorough manner. All of the follow-up questions are correctly answered in a thorough manner.
The terms null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis are defined correctly and thoroughly. The application of these terms to hypothesis testing is thorough and indicative of deep understanding of the concepts.
The term standard error is defined correctly in a thorough manner. All of the follow-up ques.

Purpose:
This assignment is to help the student improve his/her ability to use a library database to locate primary references, to improve their ability to paraphrase information, to create a more objective mindset in evaluating data, and to develop a document using a scientific approach to writing (American Psychological Association (APA) style). Please be aware that it IS NOT POSSIBLE to pass this course without doing this assignment.
Components:
Step 1: Database Assignment: Locate the Psychology Research Guide through the El Centro Library website, and using one of the two databases listed to locate a professional, research based, journal article from a psychology related journal. To qualify: the journal must be a professional (not student) psychology academic journal, must be published in the past five years, and must be research-oriented. The article must have full text availability and must have references. You may seek the help of a librarian, but you must be able to locate the article yourself if asked to do so. You MUST upload your article to the appropriate eCampus link for my approval BEFORE you proceed with the rest of the assignment.
Step 2: Creating a Cover Page and a References Page: In this assignment you are asked to create a cover page and a reference page based on the article you selected from the library database. Once you begin this assignment, you must use the article you selected for the rest of the semester. The cover page and the references page must adhere to APA standards, and they will be graded accordingly. The Cover page must have an APA running head and title which are appropriately related to the content of the article. The running head must also be placed correctly formatted on all pages of the assignment as shown on the template. The Title Page must accurately contain the required information as detailed on the template. The Reference Page must present author name(s) and initials, year of publication, title of article, title of journal, volume number, issue number, page numbers, and the digital object identifier (DOI) if available. You are required to place this in the appropriate APA style, double spaced and with a hanging indentation of .5 inches. Title and Reference pages that are not correctly done according to APA style will not be accepted and must be redone before moving on to the next step of the overall assignment.
Step 3: Writing an Introduction: In this assignment, you must indicate why the authors considered this to be important research and why they approached the topic as they did. This assignment is expected to involve a full page and must include appropriate citations, including both parenthetical and non-parenthetical citations.

By definition, faith is believing in something without actually requiring concrete proof.
Conformity is abiding by certain rules, laws, and other societal norms. A person who
conforms often must follow specific rules.
The authors of both “Salvation” and “The Five Glorious Mysteries” create stories that deal
with the themes of faith and conformity. However, the characters’ words and actions do not
actually always add up to their viewpoint on faith and conformity. What does it mean to
speak one way but act in another manner? Select one of the essays from this unit, and form
an argument about what the author is trying to say about actions vs. words.
The requirements for Essay 4 are:
• Describe the effectiveness of the author’s argument.

In short, an illustration essay will use clear, interesting examples to show, explain, and
support a thesis statement (remember, your thesis is your main argument, or the main
point you’re trying to make). One key to an effective illustration essay is to use enough
details and specific examples to make your point effectively. In other words, descriptive
writing is key.
You have several options for this assignment, so you will need to choose one:
Illustrate the ideal work environment. If everything was perfect at work, what would
it be like? Describe everything in this environment—perhaps from the dispositions of
your coworkers and supervisors to what clothes you wear to work.
Illustrate what it means to be a “true friend.” What does being a “true friend” mean
to you? What “true friends” have you had, and how do their actions coincide with
being your definition of a “true friend?”
Illustrate how your favorite team or player received their current standing or
ranking. How did the team or player do in the most recent season? What qualities did
this team or player demonstrate to earn this ranking?
Look at your favorite poem or short story, and use illustration to explain what
makes it your favorite. Do you enjoy the author’s language? Do you enjoy the
storyline? What else do you enjoy that makes it your favorite?
Illustrate the purpose of props on the set of your favorite media production. What
props are there? Why are they important?
Illustrate how to create your favorite dish. What steps are required to create this
dish? Be sure that you take your audience through this process step by step!
Illustrate how to play your favorite game. What steps and/or actions are necessary
to play this game? Take your readers through the motions, step by step.
The questions above are designed to help you begin brainstorming ideas; however, you are
free to develop your own brainstorming questions and use them to develop your essay.
Since the purpose of this essay is to illustrate, you should have enough specific details and
examples for your essay to be considered an illustration essay.
Many illustrations may come from your personal experiences. However, even personal
experiences should be supported by research in college essays. Thus, you must cite at least
one credible1 source to earn maximum credit for this essay. This resource from the course

Proposal
Content and Ideas Should:
Include an effective title.
Use a thesis that centers on a proposal argument.
Give a problem presence.
Develop the proposal argument by using claim-type strategies that support proposals (categorical, ethical, and/or cause and effect claims).
Present specific evidence to supplement supporting arguments.
40%
Does not have title, and has missing or indiscernible thesis statement and minimal evidence to support main ideas. The writer gives the problem no presence. Argument includes elements of a proposal, but the argument does not center on the proposal. The writer does not use strategies that support proposal arguments.
Title may not suggest subject and does not spark interest. Thesis statement and/or the controlling idea are not clearly stated. The writer gives the problem little presence. Argument includes elements of proposals, but the argument does not center on a proposal and/or the writer does not use strategies that support proposal arguments very well. Ideas are underdeveloped and clichéd. They do not support the thesis. Evidence from outside sources can be irrelevant.
Title suggests subject but does not spark interest. Thesis statement identifies the main point the author is trying to make. The writer gives the problem some presence, though the problem could be explained more forcefully. Most of content relates to thesis statement, but lacks sufficient support through appropriate strategies for making proposal arguments (categorical, ethical, and/or cause and effect claims). Argument may not center specifically on a proposal. Cited evidence sometimes does not justify ideas.
Title suggests subject but does not necessarily spark interest. Thesis statement clearly identifies the main point the author is trying to make. The writer gives the problem presence. Argument centers specifically on a proposal and uses strategies that support it (categorical, ethical, and/or cause and effect claims). Most of the content supports thesis, and cited evidence usually justifies ideas.
Title suggests subject and sparks interest. With a clear, controlling idea, thesis statement effectively identifies the main proposal the student is trying to make. The student gives the problem full presence. Content supports thesis well by effectively using strategies that support proposals as necessary (categorical, ethical, and/or cause and effect claims).

Ideas Excels in responding to assignment.
Interesting, demonstrates sophistication of
thought. Central idea/thesis is clearly
communicated, worth developing; limited
enough to be manageable. Paper
recognizes some complexity of its thesis:
may acknowledge its contradictions,
qualifications, or limits and follow out their
logical implications. Understands and
critically evaluates its sources,
appropriately limits and defines terms.
A solid paper, responding appropriately
to assignment. Clearly states a
thesis/central idea, but may have minor
lapses in development. Begins to
acknowledge the complexity of central
idea and the possibility of other points
of view. Shows careful reading of
sources, but may not evaluate them
critically. Attempts to define terms, not
always successful.
Adequate but weaker and less
effective, possibly responding less
well to assignment. Presents central
idea in general terms, often
depending on platitudes or clichés.
Usually does not acknowledge other
views. Shows basic comprehension
of sources, perhaps with lapses in
understanding. If it defines terms,
often depends on dictionary
definition.
Does not have a clear central idea
or does not respond appropriately
to the assignment. Thesis may be
too vague or obvious to be
developed effectively. Paper may
misunderstand sources.
Does not respond to the
assignment, lacks a thesis or central
idea, and may neglect to use
sources where necessary.
Organization &
coherence
Uses a logical structure appropriate to
paper’s subject, purpose, audience, thesis,
and disciplinary field. Sophisticated
transitional sentences often develop one
idea from the previous one or identify their
logical relations. It guides the reader
through the chain of reasoning or
progression of ideas.
Shows a logical progression of ideas and
uses fairly sophisticated transitional
devices; e.g., may move from least to
more important idea. Some logical links
may be faulty, but each paragraph
clearly relates to paper’s central idea.
May list ideas or arrange them
randomly rather than using any
evident logical structure. May use
transitions, but they are likely to be
sequential (first, second, third) rather
than logic-based. While each
paragraph may relate to central idea,
logic is not always clear. Paragraphs
have topic sentences but may be
overly general, and arrangement of
sentences within paragraphs may
lack coherence.
May have random organization,
lacking internal paragraph
coherence and using few or
inappropriate transitions.
Paragraphs may lack topic
sentences or main ideas, or may be
too general or too specific to be
effective. Paragraphs may not all
relate to paper’s thesis.
No appreciable organization; lacks
transitions and coherence.

Using autoethnography in a qualitative research,
consider a resident of Sedgwick County, Colorado community to be the researcher of this study? Over the past 16 years, only two building permits for new housing construction have been issued in Sedgwick County, Colorado. This is consistent with the depopulation (particularly of younger persons) and economic diminution that is attributed to a declining rainfall since the 1970s. These are quantitative details. It is unclear how much of the depopulation was due to perceived opportunities elsewhere, to copycat or fad behavior, and to perceived change in local economic opportunity.
This is the only situation where the researcher can offer his/her own perspective as data for the study. How does the researcher guard against the limitations of his/her existing bias? How does he/she make sure that the data collected will be informative to a larger audience? [250 words, 2 references, 2 Intext Citations, Original Writings only]

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
