Paper 2 Assignment POT 2002 . Assignment: Write a 1000 word paper (= 3-4 pages, double-spaced) on one of the following topics: 1.) In The Prince, Machiavelli writes: “And let no one resist my opinion on this with that trite proverb, that whoever founds on the people founds on mud.” According to Machiavelli, how should a prince “found on the people”? How does his advice ultimately benefit the people? 2.) Take a look of the foundations of the social contract in both Hobbes and Locke. How do their different assumptions about human nature and the state of nature inform their theories? How does this result in their different conceptions of civil society/government? Identify and analyze at least two different assumptions and speak about the implications for their theories. Papers cannot be submitted by email under any circumstances Guidelines for Papers 1. Your paper is supposed to be an interpretation of some aspect of the work(s): in other words, an argument concerning some aspect of the work based on analysis of relevant textual evidence. Your paper is not supposed to be a summary of the work, a statement of your opinion about the work, or a discussion of its historical significance or relevance. Frame your paper as an investigation of why and how the author makes the argument he or she does rather than simply saying what is said. Turn your topic into an argument. 2. Give a clear statement of your argument at the beginning of your paper. 3. Unify your paper with a single argument with a logical development from one step of the argument to the next. Do not make your paper a collection of separate points or examples. 4. Every time you state that the author states or argues something you should have evidence to support your statement, either in the form of a quotation or a specific textual reference. Only quote what you need for your purposes. Try to look at your quotations as something more than mere evidence, and instead as material that you can analyze (break down into its parts in order to interpret it) in order to make your argument. 5. Use clear and simple language, but a formal style. Obscurity is not profundity. Make sure that you know the meaning of the words you use. You are writing a formal paper, not an email message. Avoid colloquial or chatty language. Do not use contractions: not using them reminds you of the appropriate level of discourse for your paper. Criteria for assessing your work: 1. Do you have a clear statement of your argument? 2. Do you provide relevant evidence? 3. Are your reasoning and writing clear and effective? 4. Do you demonstrate understanding of the work(s) you are analyzing? 5. To what degree do you address the most important questions and problems posed by the work(s) you are interpreting?

Short Critical Essay Short Critical Essay Project This project is worth 10% of your final grade, due March 27, 2015. It is an individual assignment. Late assignments are penalized 5% per day including weekends to a maximum of 50%. Senate regulations require all term work to be submitted by the last day of classes April 8, 2015, after which work cannot be accepted and a grade of 0 will be given. Write a 750-1200 word argumentative essay related to the topic of the responsibility of affluent nations and their citizens to people without even basic sustenance, discussed in Peter Singer’s paper “Famine, Affluence, and Morality.” In your essay, you must make reference to Singer’s paper “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” and the paper you read in producing the annotated bibliography in Assignment #17. Both papers must be listed in your bibliography. Other sources may also be referenced but this is not required, though all sources used must be listed in the bibliography. Your project must begin with a standard form representation of your argument followed by a diagram of the argument, using between 10-15 premises. Your argument must include at least one deductive inference and one inductive inference and these must be identified (by type) and indicated on your diagram (i.e. on the arrow connecting the premises note “disjunctive syllogism” or “analogy”). Quotations should be referenced in the text as follows: “text” (author year, page number(s)). Note the final punctuation comes after the reference. If a text has to be altered slightly for grammatical reasons put the changes in square brackets. E.g. Here we have some text I have written followed by a quote to verify my interpretation. If you wish to emphasize part of the quote use italics and note “my emphasis”, otherwise you might commit the fallacy of accent. In the passage I quote below, the emphasis was in the original, as noted. Where some text irrelevant to my purposes was left out I use ellipsis (…). Fodor’s account of early language learning is an account of predicate acquisition and it remains the cornerstone for his thesis that we possess an innate representational system as rich as any natural language we can learn. “What, then is being denied?... that one can learn a language whose predicates express extensions not expressible by predicates of the representational system whose employment mediates the learning” (Fodor 1975, p.86, emphasis in original). Include a bibliography, citing all sources used to write the essay as instructed for Assignment #17. Include a word count. Grading Rubric for Short Critical Essay The essays is graded out of 10, with points assigned as follows: Thesis statement: the essay is an argumentative essay with a thesis statement, i.e. conclusion. 1 point Standard form and Diagram: standard form and diagram are included and match each other and the s.

ENG 111 Writing and Inquiry Public Piece Project Background Throughout this course, we have been examining how audiences are persuaded by various styles, rhetorical appeals, and ways of presenting information based on their specific needs and expectations. For this final major component of the semester, you will be taking the argument of your research paper and restructuring in a creative and purposeful way for a new audience. How to Approach the Assignment 1. Audience. Consider your research paper argument. Who would benefit from knowing the information you learned in your research? Choose a new audience for your focus. 2. Purpose. Once you have your audience in mind, what purpose do you have in connecting with them? What information from your research do you want them to know and what would you encourage them to do with it? 3. Genre. Choose a medium for presenting your research argument to your audience. How you choose to restructure your argument is a vital part of this assignment. Make sure the genre you choose has value and purpose for the audience. Possible public pieces include: brochure, public service announcement, commercial, magazine article, newspaper editorial, letter, podcast, original poetry/music, video, poster presentation, etc. Creativity is encouraged as long as it thoughtfully conveys your argument! Note: PowerPoint presentations are not allowed, because they are evil. 4. Create. Compose/create a high quality, professional product. Any scripts, transcripts, or other written components should accompany the actual product. Documents, videos, and images will be uploaded to Blackboard. 5. Presentation. Near the end of the course, you will present your argument to the class, briefly. You will need to discuss what your argument is, the audience you chose, and how your public piece connects effectively with the audience. You may choose to present your actual piece as if the class is your intended audience. Grading Criteria Your public piece will be graded based on how well you do the following: · Demonstrate that the audience is appropriate for the topic/argument · Demonstrate that the medium of the public piece is effective for your audience · Connect your public piece content to your research paper argument · Create a professional, appealing product · Present your ideas in an engaging and articulate manner ENG 111 Writing and Inquiry Rhetorical Analysis Essay For this assignment, you will craft an essay that analyzes and evaluates two news articles that discuss the same topic from two different perspectives. For instance, think of a current issue and find an article that focuses on the pros of this issue and one that focuses on the cons of this issue. Your essay will examine the rhetorical context (author, audience, topic, purpose) as well as the strategies used to convey its message (diction, tone, evidence, imagery, and rhetorical appeals: logos, ethos, and pathos). Since you are comparing two arguments, yo.

SOCIOLOGY 105A FINAL PAPER PROMPT – WINTER 2018 Length: No fewer than 6 pages or 2100 words (whichever is more); no more than 8 pages or 2800 words (whichever is less). The paper should be double spaced with 11-pt or 12-pt font and 1-inch margins. Font should be Times or Palatino only. Do not include a title page. Submission: On Canvas as an inline submission under the final paper assignment prompt. Please submit your final draft under the same assignment, as an additional attachment after you have edited and revised it in accordance with your TA’s feedback. Due Date: The first draft is due by midnight on Wednesday, March 7. It is worth 100 points. The final draft is due no later than 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 21. It is worth 150 points. You will get your first draft feedback by Friday, March 16. Other requirements: Paper must be carefully edited using grammar/spell-check, and also proofread by a human brain other than your own. Your submission should be written in a formal tone, without making use of conversational or colloquial English. This paper satisfies part of the disciplinary communication (DC) requirement, so it must be written with serious care. It needs a clear introduction with thesis statement, logically developed body paragraphs, and a conclusion. No citations or direct quotes are necessary, although you are welcome to include a quote from the original theory if it was one of the ones that we read. If you do use any direct quotes, please include a “Works Cited” list at the end of your paper. This page is not part of your page or word count. TOPIC DESCRIPTION At the beginning of the quarter, I introduced the idea of a metaphorical “dinner party with social theorists.” In this paper, you will demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from classical social theory to the contemporary social world by putting several different theories into conversation with one another. Your goal is to show how classical theory helps to explain and/or fails to explain the origin/operation of your social problem or feature of the social world (as you understand it). Here’s how to proceed: 1. Choose either (A) a social problem that you feel passionate about or (B) a feature of the social world that you find fascinating. Examples of social problems could include things like racial tracking in education or the conservative attack on labor unions; examples of features of the social world could include behavior like internet trolling or trends in romantic relationships among college-age people. The possibilities are quite endless. The easiest topic to work with will be specific and narrow, and also something that you are personally invested in (we will take Weber’s advice about value-relevance here ). 2. Analyze your topic through the lens of three different theorists that we have covered this quarter. Most of you will find it easiest to use Marx/Weber/Durkheim, but you are welcome to use others we have covered as well if you feel inclined t.

Argument paper/English 1 Spring 2014 Argument Assignment Paper.doc PAGE English 1: Argumentative Essay Assignment The Assignment: Write a six-to-ten page argument paper that addresses a current issue that will address our theme of the impact of technology on communication on ourselves, on our world and on what it means to be human (Barrios, 583). The topic and the issue for this paper is the same as your exploratory paper assignment. The purpose of this paper is to present your position on the issue and then argue why by presenting your own reasons and evidence to support your thesis statement. Locating Sources for Research. The purpose of the exploratory paper was to explore different writers and their position, their perspective, and the types of evidence they used in order to form your own position and perspective. You have three sources that you may use in your paper. For this paper, you must include a variety of sources; they cannot all come from Web sites. Search SMC’s library online catalog, search for a book, search online databases, find newspaper articles, use the search engine Google scholar at www.google.com, or www.yahoo.com . In addition, observations or experience from your personal life are not allowable. Refer to the following handouts: “Research Guide for Papers,” “Sources Acceptable for Academic Papers.” Both of these handouts are on eCompanion. If you include an article from a Website, there must be a date and a sponsor/publisher. If this is not available you cannot use this source. Thesis Statement and Claim: Does your thesis clearly include a claim? Is it arguable? Does it take a perspective on an issue? Is it narrow and specific enough for the length of this assignment? Is it focused on one subject? Is it a claim of policy where you argue that certainpolicies should be changed? Is it a claim of value where you argue that some action, belief, or policy is morally wrong, good, or bad? Once your claim is clear, you must develop reasons that match and correspond to the type of claim being made. Audience/Point of View: An effective argument is tailored to its audience. The reasons and the types of evidence you offer, the needs and values to which you appeal, terms defined, all depend on your audience and the type of claim. Ask: What does your audience know or not know about your topic? The audience is your instructor and classmates. Never assume that the audience is familiar with your topic or terms. You may need to include definitions and relevant details to help the audience understand your position in the first body paragraph. For this argument essay, you will use only the third-person point of view. No, “I” “We” or “You.” Content/Body Paragraphs. For the length of this assignment, you should have at least three-to-four distinct and relevant reasons to support your thesis. Follow the guidelines for writing the argument paper when developing your reasons. Use the “because” clause approach.

ENGL 1008 Formal writing assignments: Sequenced writing The following assignments constitute a sequenced writing project for which you will write all five assignments on the same subject over the course of the semester. The idea of a series of assignments forming a sequenced writing project grows from the belief that students develop their writing skills best when each writing assignment they do can build quite directly on the experience and knowledge gained from completing the previous writing assignments. In the sequenced writing project, you may write on any topic you wish with my approval. However, to do the sequenced writing project, you must select a topic that meets three requirements. 1. You must feel very interested in the topic and want to learn more about it, since you will spend much of the semester writing several assignments on the same subject. 2. You must already have had some personal experience with the topic you will write on. 3. This must be a topic that will allow you to do all parts (the Personal Essay, a research proposal, an annotated bibliography, and a final research paper) of the project. Here are some examples of topics students have written on and their personal experience with their topics: · state of research in hepatitis C: the student's brother was infected, · corruption in India: the student's uncle had to pay huge bribes to have his factory certified after inspections, · political situation with India and Pakistan (over Kashmir): two of students' family members were serving in the Indian military in Kashmir, · "food combining" diet program: the student's father made her go on this diet, after she gained 10lbs in her first year in the US, · AIDS causes/treatments: the student's cousin was infected and ostracized by his friends, · educational tracking system in Singapore: the student graduated from highest track with friends in lower tracks, · political struggles in Columbia: the student's family was very involved in politics and his best friend had been kidnapped by one of the factions, · Nicaraguan history: the student had grown up hearing strong bias toward one side and just wanted to understand the events around the revolution better, so she could participate in political life when she returned, · Music industry: the student's dream was to get his own recording contract. · Home schooling: student was home schooled through high school · Cross racial child adoption: Her roommate and good friend was Chinese adopted by a Caucasian family in the USA · One child policy in China: student was from china but has three siblings · Television advertising: student was a business marketing major. Essay 1: Personal Essay: First, you must choose a topic (see guidelines above) after talking with your classmates and your teacher. Then, in this essay of 700-1000 words you will need to address these areas in SOME logical order: -Very brief introduction of the topic of your future research (its general context, the ...

Essay Writing Guide INR and PLT – Dr Keating June 2018 .docx

debishakespeare

Essay Writing Guide INR and PLT – Dr Keating June 2018 Page | 2 Writing a Research Essay in International Relations and Political Science This is some basic advice on writing an essay in International Relations. The advice is generic, and obviously particular assignments, topics, questions have their own requirements – but this general advice should apply most of the time. Be aware of what a criteria grading sheet looks like, as this sets out the way in which the essay will be graded. The standard grading sheet looks like this, and you will notice that there are four separate criteria. We will deal with each in turn. 1. Structure/Organization: Have you answered the question? Do you have a clear argument that you defend throughout? Is it well organized with appropriate use of paragraphs? 2. Research: Are you demonstrating research skills? Have you used a range of sources? Is it thoroughly referenced, using an appropriate system, with a bibliography? 3. Content: Do you set out clear arguments/evidence to support your position? Have you considered counter-arguments/evidence? Is their evidence of critical thinking? 4. Presentation: Is the paper well-written? Is it proof-read for grammar and spelling errors? 1. Structure/Organisation Essays need a clear and concise introduction, which sets out a position: the thesis or argument that the essay will defend. If a question has been set, the introduction needs to clearly answer this question. It does not provide a broad introduction to the topic (avoid waffle or ‘flowery’ introductions), but rather, specifies the particular position that the essay will pursue. The essay then defends this position clearly throughout! I strongly suggest beginning the essay with the line “This essay argues…”. If you can clearly set out your position at the start, it will solve a lot of the structural problems that many essays have. You can then use the rest of the introduction to expand on your argument, detail the case material you are using to support your position, explain how your position allows you to propose an answer to the question(if one is set), and outline the structure of the essay. When outlining the structure of the essay, using first, second, third can be a clear and informative approach for the reader. The main body of the essay is organised in short, sharp, concise paragraphs. It is important to consistently link the material, ideas, theories, concepts, debates, arguments, evidence, and case studies that you evaluate in the main body of the essay back to the question, and to your argument. Though different courses and different types of written assignments have different objectives, normally it is a good idea to have a balance between theoretical/conceptual debates and discussion, and empirical evidence.

The Three-Part Topic Proposal for Research Save this file to your computer; type in your responses for each of the three areas below, and then upload your work by the deadline using the dropbox in Module 11. Step 1:Explanation Write a one-paragraph explanation. (This is not an introductory paragraph for the paper.) This should be an explanation of your focused topic and what you hope to prove to your reader through your analysis. Step 2:Working Thesis Really think about what you wrote in the explanation and pull it together by creating a working thesis. You will likely continue to revise and edit this thesis. Remember: A THESIS should include the focused topic plus your assertion about the significance of that topic. It should be argumentative in nature, since it is an opinion that you will prove through a close analysis of the details of the text. Step 3: Tentative Outline Now create a tentative outline for your working thesis. In other words, how will you break up your body paragraphs to prove or support the thesis? Assignment: APPROACH #2: Another approach would be to expand on an idea addressed briefly in one of your discussion posts. Remember, you'll need to create a focused thesis statement. The prompts below can be used to create an assertion that you could then prove in your body paragraphs through a close analysis of the primary source (the work we studied) and through support from your secondary sources (literary criticism). Edgar Allan Poe - "The Fall of the House of Usher" Analyze the use of parallels or mirror images in this story. How does this kind of imagery support a thematic idea running throughout the story? · SOURCES: You must use a minimum of THREE secondary sources. You will cite the work you are analyzing, of course, but it is a primary source. Therefore, you will have a minimum of FOUR sources listed on your Works Cited page. At least ONE of your secondary sources must be an article from a scholarly journal accessed via an LSCS library database. You must not use Cliffs Notes or Bloom's Notes or the like, basic dictionaries or encyclopedias, or any plot summaries. You should select reputable sources of literary criticism that help you prove your thesis. If, in addition to these minimum source requirements, you would like to briefly cite a source such as The Bible or a specialized dictionary - that is fine. If in doubt about the quality of a source, ask me or a reference librarian. An essay that does not meet the minimum source requirements will earn an automatic F. · LENGTH: The essay must be 3-4 textual pages (not including the Works Cited page). The essay must follow MLA manuscript form guidelines stated in the 7th edition of the MLA Handbook. The text of the essay must be 3 full textual pages, meaning it will reach the bottom, one-inch margin on the third page of a correctly formatted Word document. An essay that does not meet the minimum length requirements will earn an automatic F. Plea ...
