Sample writing assignment: Frankenstein’s
Conversations with William Godwin.
The following is an example of the kind of response you should be looking to provide for the writing
assignment for this module. As before, note how the piece sets out a clear response to the prompt in
the opening sentence and how it goes on to support this argument with evidence from the novel. In
your own responses to the prompt for this module, you should similarly look to offer a clear and
reasonable argument and to provide strong support for your claim. Please note, too, the way in
which the Writing Assignment is set out. Please make sure your own response is similarly
formatted and that it, too, is clear of grammatical, spelling, or syntactical errors. I will be looking for
a clear argument, strong textual evidence, and a well-formatted and written response.
Please be sure to provide a Works Cited. This can be in any form you are most comfortable with
(AP, MLA, Chicago, Oxford, etc.), but should make it clear what is being referred to and where that
item can be found.
Please note: the 250-word limit (plus or minus 10%) applies only to the text of your argument. It
does not include the works cited or the heading information.
Sample question: To what extent can Frankenstein be considered a conversation with William
Godwin?
A. Student
Writing Assignment, Module 3
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is an extended conversation with her father William Godwin. From the
opening dedication, which alludes to two of his most famous works, to the Creature’s final speech
and suicide, the novel interrogates Godwin’s ideals of rational benevolence, suggesting that his
philosophy overlooks the importance of domestic affections in the decision-making process. In
particular, the novel’s depiction of Victor’s rational brilliance but limited emotional maturity
reveals the extent of Mary Shelley’s conversation with her father.
Godwin argued that humans should rely solely on reason to determine their actions. Every
action, he argued, should be judged by its potential benefits to society. He set this out
philosophically in Political Justice and then in the novel Caleb Williams, which tells the story of two
men locked in a battle for dominance. Frankenstein borrows much from the plot of Caleb Williams,
but Mary Shelley’s main purpose in mirroring her father’s work is to show the limitations of a
philosophy based solely on the dictates of reason. Victor is the embodiment of reason: he is a
groundbreaking scientist, able to resurrect dead bodies. His rationality, in other words, could
produce great benefits to society. He is, however, fatally flawed: he does not pay enough attention
to his own feelings, nor to the feelings of others. Instead of reflecting rationally on his achievement
when he sparks the Creature into life, “breathless horror and disgust filled [his] heart” (36). The
emphasis on heart, here.

Narayaneeyam bengali transliteration with english translation dasakam 025Ravi Ramakrishnan
The nārāyaṇīyam (pronounced naaraayaneeyam or IPA: [nɑːrɑːjəɳiːjəm]) condenses the Bhagavata Purana into 1034 verses, divided into one hundred dasakam, or cantos. The work occupies a very high place in Sanskrit literature, both because of the intense devotional fervour of the verses, and because of their extraordinary literary merit. Thenārāyanīyam is one of the most popular religious texts in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and devout Hindus often recite it together in festivals and groups.
Nārāyanīyam is the story of Lord Narayana. It is a work consisting of 1034 slokas or verses, divided into 100 dasakams or chapters, each dasakam consisting of approximately 10 slokas. It is a condensed version of Bhagavata Purana, which consists of 18,000 slokas authored by Veda Vyasa. It is said that the work has the blessings of Lord Krishna or Guruvayoorappan, the presiding Deity of Guruvayur.
Narayaneeyam narrates a series of episodes from the Bhagavata Purana, choosing the most pious of the lot. The incarnations of Vishnu are traced with piety, Bhattathiri transforms the episodes into solemn prayers, pouring out his soul in total supplication before the Lord. The final dasaka, Kesadipaada Varnanam, embodies top-to-toe picture of little Krishna in all grace and glory .
Both as a poem and as a devotional hymn, Narayaneeyam occupies a very high place in Sanskrit literature.
Narayaneeyam is the master piece of Melpathur and is the most widely read of all his works.The poet depicts the image of Lord Guruvayurappan, in exemplary terms - "Sammohanam Mohanal Kantham Kanthinidhanathopi, Madhuram Madhurya Dhuryadapi, Soundaryotharathopi Sundaratharam"
The ‘Parayana' of Narayaneeyam is believed to possess the wonderful power of healing afflictions, both mental and physical, of the devotees. The "Nithyaparayana” of Narayaneeyam will enable the devotees to attain " Ayurarogyasoukhyam”.
Narayaneeya Sapthaham ( the recitation of Narayaneeyam and explaining the meaning to the public) is conducted in Guruvayur temple by Devaswom on the Narayaneeya Dinam and by others as offerings. It is done for seven consecutive days from early morning till 6.10 pm in the evening. Narayaneeya Sapthaham has started in Guruvayur in the early 50's. It takes about 5 hours to read the slokas and about 45 hours for explaining the slokas.
The day on which Narayaneeyam was completed, 28th Vrichikam, is celebrated by the Devaswom as Narayaneeyam day. Discourses and debates on Narayaneeyam written by Melpathur take place. Special functions are held at Melpathur Illapparambu also.

What steps do you think schools can or should take to promote our democracy in today’s very diverse country?
Food festivals and celebrating a cultural holiday will not be accepted as an answer. Those are examples of tokenism to make the dominant culture feel like they are doing something. These two activities are fun and interesting, but not how we will strengthen our democracy.

Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.
If Statement of Purpose 1.0. isn’t the best map it can be for th.

Your paraphrase can be as long as the excerpt you have chosen, but should not duplicate any phrasing from the excerpt. If you must, you can quote up to three words in a phrase.
Choose to paraphrase ONE of the excerpts below:
Option 1
Morrison began writing Sula in 1969, a time of great activism among African Americans and others who were working toward equal civil rights and opportunities. The book addresses issues of racism, bigotry, and suppression of African Americans; it depicts the despair people feel when they can't get decent jobs, and the determination of some to survive. Eva, for example, cuts off her leg in order to get money to raise her family. Morrison shows how, faced with racist situations, some people had to grovel to whites simply to get by, as Helene does on a train heading through the South. Others, however, fought back, as Sula does when she threatens some white boys who are harassing her and Nel.

Option 2
In 1993, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and thus became the first African American and only the eighth woman ever to win the award. According to Maureen O'Brien in Publishers Weekly, Morrison said, "What is most wonderful for me personally is to know that the Prize has at last been awarded to an African American. I thank God that my mother is alive to see this day." In 1996, she received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

by J. Reid Cummings and Donald R. Epley, PhD, MAI, SRA
FEATURES
T
J- he
he real estate industry has been devastated on many fronts' in the years
following the Great Recession, whieh began in 2007^ due to the bursting of the
housing bubble and the subsequent finaneial crisis relating to the mortgage
market meltdown.' The implosion of the mortgage markets initially began when
two Bear Stearns mortgage-backed securities hedge funds, holding nearly $10
billion in assets, disintegrated into nothing.* Panie quickly spread to financial
institutions that could not hide the extent of their toxic, subprime exposures, and
a massive, worldwide credit squeeze ensued; outright fear soon replaced panic.
Subsequent eredit tightening and substantial illiquidity in the financial markets
rapidly and severely affected the housing and construction markets.' Throughout
the United States, properties of all kinds saw dramatic value declines.
In thousands of cases, real estate foreclosures disrupted people's lives,
forced businesses to close, eaused financial institutions to falter, capsized wbole
market segments, devastated entire industries, and squeezed municipal and state
government budgets dependent upon use and property tax revenues.* While the
effeets of property value declines and the waves of foreclosures in markets across
the country captured most of the headlines, one significant impact of the upheaval
in US real estate markets has gone largely unreported: its impact on employment
in the real estate industry, and specifically, the real estate appraisal profession.
This article presents a
current employment
profile of the US real
estate industry, with
special attention given
to appraisal profes-
sionals. It serves as an
informative picture of
the appraisal profession
for use as a benchmark
for future assessment
of growth. As a
component of the real
estate industry, the
appraisal profession
ranks as the smallest
in employment, is
highly correlated to
movements in empioy-
ment of brokers and
agents, and relies on
commerciai banking,
credit, and real estate
lessors and managers
to deliver its products.

Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue .docxanhlodge
“Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. In the first Rescue story we are hurrying in our jeep to save some people – let there be five of them – who are imminently threatened by the ocean tide. We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us, this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version, the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course, all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story, our choice is between a course of action that will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press)
1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how?
2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
o The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation.
3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim.

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.
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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Sample writing assignment: Frankenstein’s
Conversations with William Godwin.
The following is an example of the kind of
response you should be looking to provide
for the writing
assignment for this module. As before, note how
the piece sets out a clear response to the
prompt in
the opening sentence and how it goes on to support
this argument with evidence from the novel. In
your own responses to the prompt for this module,
you should similarly look to offer a clear and
reasonable argument and to provide strong support
for your claim. Please note, too, the way in
which the Writing Assignment is set out. Please
make sure your own response is similarly
formatted and that it, too, is clear of grammatical,
spelling, or syntactical errors. I will be
looking for
a clear argument, strong textual evidence, and a
well-formatted and written response.
Please be sure to provide a Works Cited.
2. This can be in any form you are most comfortable
with
(AP, MLA, Chicago, Oxford, etc.),but should make
it clear what is being referred to and where
that
item can be found.
Please note:the 250-word limit (plusor minus 10%)
applies only to the text of your argument. It
does not include the works cited or the heading
information.
Sample question: To what extent can Frankenstein be
considered a conversation with William
Godwin?
A. Student
Writing Assignment, Module 3
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is an extended
conversation with her father William Godwin.
From the
opening dedication, which alludes to two of
3. his most famous works, to the Creature’s
final speech
and suicide, the novel interrogates Godwin’s ideals
of rational benevolence, suggesting that his
philosophy overlooks the importance of domestic
affections in the decision-making process. In
particular, the novel’s depiction of Victor’s rational
brilliance but limited emotional maturity
reveals the extent of Mary Shelley’s conversation
with her father.
Godwin argued that humans should rely solely
on reason to determine their actions. Every
action, he argued, should be judged by its
potential benefits to society. He set this out
philosophicallyin Political Justice and then in the
novel Caleb Williams, which tells the storyof
two
men locked in a battle for dominance.
Frankenstein borrows much from the plot of
Caleb Williams,
but Mary Shelley’s main purpose in mirroring her
father’s work is to showthe limitations of a
philosophy based solely on the dictates of
reason. Victor is the embodiment of reason:
he is a
4. groundbreaking scientist, able to resurrect dead bodies.
His rationality, in otherwords, could
produce greatbenefits to society. He is, however,
fatally flawed: he does not pay enough
attention
to his own feelings, nor to the feelings of others.
Instead of reflecting rationally on his achievement
when he sparks the Creature into life, “breathless
horror and disgust filled [his] heart” (36).
The
emphasis on heart, here, suggests that what he is
missing is the ability to feel. As the novel
reveals,
the consequences of this lack of feeling are fatal:
everyone Victor loves dies. [268 words]

1. Lord Byron, “Prometheus”
Titan! to whose immortal eyes
The sufferings of mortality,
Seen in their sad reality,
Were not as things that gods despise;
What was thy pity's recompense?
A silent suffering, and intense;
6. The rock, the vulture, and the chain,
All that the proud can feel of pain,
The agony they do not show,
The suffocating sense of woe,
Which speaks but in its loneliness,
And then is jealous lest the sky
Should have a listener, nor will sigh
Until its voice is echoless.
Titan! to thee the strife was given
Between the suffering and the will,
Which torture where they cannot kill;
And the inexorable Heaven,
And the deaf tyranny of Fate,
The ruling principle of Hate,
Which for its pleasure doth create
The things it may annihilate,
Refus'd thee even the boon to die:
The wretched gift Eternity
Was thine—and thou hast borne it well.
All that the Thunderer wrung from thee
Was but the menace which flung back
On him the torments of thy rack;
The fate thou didst so well foresee,
But would not to appease him tell;
And in thy Silence was his Sentence,
And in his Soul a vain repentance,
And evil dread so ill dissembled,
That in his hand the lightnings trembled.
Thy Godlike crime was to be kind,
To render with thy precepts less
3
7. The sum of human wretchedness,
And strengthen Man with his own mind;
But baffled as thou wert from high,
Still in thy patient energy,
In the endurance, and repulse
Of thine impenetrable Spirit,
Which Earth and Heaven could not convulse,
A mighty lesson we inherit:
Thou art a symbol and a sign
To Mortals of their fate and force;
Like thee, Man is in part divine,
A troubled stream from a pure source;
And Man in portions can foresee
His own funereal destiny;
His wretchedness, and his resistance,
And his sad unallied existence:
To which his Spirit may oppose
Itself—and equal to all woes,
And a firm will, and a deep sense,
Which even in torture can descry
Its own concenter'd recompense,
Triumphant where it dares defy,
And making Death a Victory.

Requitest for knee-worship, prayer, and praise,
And toil, and hecatombs of broken hearts,
With fear and self-contempt and barren hope.
Whilst me, who am thy foe, eyeless in hate,
Hast thou made reignand triumph, to thy scorn,
[1.10]
O'er mine own misery and thy vain revenge.
Three thousand years of sleep-unsheltered hours,
And moments aye divided by keen pangs
Till they seemed years, torture and solitude,
Scorn and despair, — theseare mine empire: —
[1.15]
More glorious far than that which thou surveyest
From thineunenvied throne, O Mighty God!
Almighty, had I deigned to share the shame
Of thineill tyranny, and hung not here
Nailed to this wall of eagle-baffling mountain, [1.20]
Black, wintry, dead, unmeasured; without herb,
Insect, or beast, or shape or sound of
life.
Ah me! alas, pain, pain ever, for ever!
No change, no pause, no hope! Yet I endure.
I ask the Earth, have not the mountainsfelt? [1.25]
I ask yon Heaven, the all-beholding Sun,
Has it not seen? The Sea, in storm or calm,

Haveits deaf waves not heard my agony?
Ah me! alas, pain, pain ever, for ever![1.30]

Eat with their burning cold into my bones.
Heaven's wingèd hound, polluting from thy lips
His beak in poison not his own, tears up [1.35]

My heart; and shapeless sights come wandering

The ghastly people of the realm of dream,
Mocking me: and the Earthquake-fiends are charged

From thesepale feet, which then might trample

If they disdained not such a prostrate slave.
Disdain! Ah no! I pity thee. What ruin
Will hunt thee undefended through wide Heaven!
How will thy soul, cloven to its depth with terror,
[1.55]
Gapelike a hell within! I speak in grief,
Not exultation, for I hate no more,
As then ere misery made me wise. The curse
Oncebreathed on thee I would recall. Ye
Mountains,
Whose many-voicèd Echoes, through the mist [1.60]
Of cataracts, flung the thunder of that spell!
Ye icy Springs, stagnant with wrinkling frost,
Which vibrated to hear me, and then crept
Shuddering through India! Thouserenest Air,
Through which the Sun walks burning without
beams! [1.65]
And ye swiftWhirlwinds, who on poisèd wings
Hung mute and moveless o'er yon hushed abyss,
As thunder, louder than your own, made rock
The orbèd world! If then my words had power,
Though I am changed so that aught evil wish

Writing Assignment Guidelines: Love, life, and
11. family.
The prompt for the third writing assignment is:
To what extent does Frankenstein support Mary
Wollstonecraft’s claim that women were
treated as inferior to men?
Youranswers should be submitted via Turnitin (the
link below this one) by 11.55 pm on
Wednesday 7 June 2017. It should be
250 words. 10% either side is permissible,
but pieces that
are longer than 275 words, or shorter than 225,
are liable to lose one letter grade. This
limit
applies to the text of your response; it does not
include the title or works cited information.
(Remember: the pointis not simply to writedown
everything you can thinkof. Rather, give the
topicsomethought and decide what your argument is
and what the best evidence is you have to
support that argument. At that pointyou should start
crafting your response, working out the
12. best way to make and support your argument.)
As before, the writing assignment will be graded
on the basisof its argument, its evidence, and its
style. In particular, I will be asking three
questions:
1. Does the response provide a clear argument?
2. Does the response provide strong evidence that
supports the argument?
3. Is the response well-formatted and written, free of
grammatical, stylistic, and spelling
errors?
Please feel free to contact me to discuss any
questions you have about the assignment.
The assignments will be assessed as follows (figures
in parentheses indicate the points you will be
awarded in the grade center for this assignment):
13. A (48) The writing assignment is strong in
all threeareas. It provides a clear
argument, the evidence provided is strong and
supports that particular
argument, and the work as a whole is well
presented,with no writing
errors.
B (43) The writing assignment is strong in
two areas, but falls down
significantly in one area.
The writing assignment contains a relatively strong
argument and
sometextual evidence, but thereis a slight lack of
focus in the
argument and evidence. There might be one or
two writing slips.
C (38) The writing assignment is strong in
one area, but falls down in two
areas. (For example, it might be well written
and presented,but the
argument and evidence are below the expected
standard).
The argument lacksclarity and/ or the evidence is
not connected to
the argument as well as it might be. There
might also be someminor
writing or formatting errors.
14. D (33) The writing assignment has significant
weaknesses. The argument may
not be clear, theremight be little or no textual
evidence, or the
evidence may not relate to the argument. There
are also likely to be
errors in the writing and formatting.
F (25) The writing assignment does not meet
the minimum expectations in
terms of making an argument, supporting that
argument with
evidence, and presenting the argument in a clear
fashion.
Please note:if you do not submit an assignment,
you will score “0” for the assignment. This
will
have a significant impact on your overall grade.
