The document outlines features of a strong introduction and thesis, as well as how to write a strong analytic paragraph. It states that a strong introduction features an original thesis that responds to the entire question rather than parts of it, makes a debatable claim about meaning, and provides reasoning. A strong analytic paragraph should state a claim, present relevant evidence directly, analyze the evidence using relevant concepts, and indicate how the paragraph contributes to the overall thesis. It should avoid simply summarizing and including multiple claims or pieces of evidence.

Analyzing and evaluating arguments
This document discusses how to evaluate arguments. To evaluate an argument, you first analyze it by identifying the claim, or conclusion, the author is trying to persuade the reader of. You then identify the evidence or reasons the author provides to support the claim. Finally, you critically analyze the strength of the evidence and how well it actually supports the claim. A strong, valid argument will have evidence that is truthful and clearly supports its claim.
Evaluating philosophical claims and theories
This document outlines criteria for evaluating philosophical arguments, claims, and theories:
1. When evaluating an argument, consider whether the philosopher provides good reasons to support their conclusion, rather than simply agreeing or disagreeing with the conclusion.
2. An argument may be weak without proving the conclusion false - weak arguments do not guarantee the truth of the conclusion.
3. Philosophical evaluations should consider clarity, consistency, coherence, and comprehensiveness of concepts, logical contradictions, fit of elements, and breadth of phenomena explained.
Body Paragraphs
Each body paragraph should contain three elements: a topic sentence, evidence, and analysis. The topic sentence should clearly state the main idea and argument of the paragraph and connect back to the thesis statement. A paragraph should include at least two pieces of specific evidence from the source text to support the topic sentence. The analysis tells the reader what the author thinks about the evidence and how it proves the thesis statement.
Essay writing
This document provides guidance on essay writing structure and content. It recommends planning main points and evidence from the prompt.

A five-stage structure is outlined: 1) introduction, 2) argument, 3) body paragraphs with points, evidence, and analysis, 4) revisiting the question, 5) conclusion. Body paragraphs should make a point, provide evidence, explain the evidence's relevance, and link back to the question.
Argument and persuasion
Persuasive writing aims to convince readers to adopt a certain viewpoint using sound reasoning and evidence. It presents a claim supported by multiple reasons backed by facts, expert opinions, statistics, or personal observations. Strong arguments also address potential counterarguments in a fair manner before rebutting them to demonstrate that the writer has considered alternative perspectives. Effective persuasive essays follow a standard format that introduces the claim, discusses each supporting reason and evidence, addresses counterarguments, and concludes by restating the central claim.

Lynn Hunt argues that the idea of human rights being self-evident is paradoxical, as certain rights have not been acknowledged by all societies throughout history. Instead, human rights emerged as humans developed empathy for one another through cultural practices like listening to music alone, using handkerchiefs, and viewing portraits. These simple practices allowed people to recognize their individual selves and the selves of others, leading to the establishment of guidelines to protect individuals from practices like torture. In other words, human rights originated from collective human acknowledgment of shared humanity rather than being inherent or natural.

4 uses of secondary sources
This document outlines 4 ways to use secondary sources in writing: 1) to support an argument, 2) to contextualize an argument, 3) as an object of criticism, and 4) as an object of analysis. It notes that sources are typically summarized rather than quoted when used to support or provide context, while quoting is more common when sources serve as objects of criticism or analysis since new arguments can be generated from them.
Introducing and arranging a thesis - 1733
The 2300 block of Curtis Street in Denver stages a daily paradox where a homeless shelter faces empty, high-end condominiums across the street. This embodies the conflict between addressing urban poverty through social services versus economic development. The block reveals the differing perspectives of Denver as a place for economic opportunity versus one with entrenched poverty, showing the "personality crisis" facing the city.
The cycle of impoverishment
The document discusses the cycle of impoverishment caused by colonialism, empire, and neocolonialism. It questions whether capitalism is compatible with social justice given its role in exploiting the poor through the primitive accumulation of land and resources from colonies. It also discusses the potential for a "global commons" and lists several groups working to create commons through movements like land reform, workers' rights, and divestment from harmful industries.
Conversing with sources - 2015, winter
The document describes a method for conversing about source statements in which participants take turns engaging with the statements in different ways such as agreeing, disagreeing, offering alternatives, asking questions, and identifying points of agreement. The goal is to have a thoughtful discussion that does more than just backing opinions and involves critically analyzing the statements. It provides an example discussion with two initial source statements from teachers about their students being tired and suggestions for addressing it. The document then lists the types of responses or discussion moves that each subsequent participant would take to continue the conversation.
Expressionism, underground comix, kant
Act only according to principles that could be universally applied. One should consider if an action could reasonably become a universal standard that everyone acts by, without contradiction or issue. This summarizes Kant's idea that morality depends on the principles of an action, not just its consequences alone.
Arrangement
The document discusses the arrangement of an analysis of the Carrie texts. It argues that while Lynn Hunt claims cultural artifacts can teach empathy, the Carrie texts instead depict female emotion as a threat that divides society along gender lines. The document outlines four features of a strong arrangement: developing the thesis, logically progressing the ideas, using transitions, and devoting most space to original aspects. It then provides an example arrangement of the Carrie analysis with eight paragraphs moving from simple to complex concepts.
IRB Compliance
This document provides information about IRB compliance for student research conducted as part of writing courses at the University of Denver. It outlines that student research involving human subjects is classified as exempt if it follows certain guidelines. Research is limited to confidential interviews, observations, and anonymous surveys. It cannot target specific behaviors, traits, or populations without IRB approval. The document reviews what types of research activities require IRB oversight and options for projects that do not fall under the exempt classification.
Showing, not telling, and pivot points
This document discusses techniques for summarizing longer documents into concise summaries. It recommends identifying pivot points by breaking at every new action, description, or dialogue. It also suggests highlighting potential overarching themes of the document in boldface to capture the key ideas and events in a high-level summary.
Conversing with sources 2015
The document outlines steps for a discussion technique called "Let's play telephone" where participants build on source statements by agreeing, disagreeing, offering alternatives, and asking critical questions to further the discussion. The goal is to have a respectful dialogue that explores different perspectives on the source statements. The document provides an example dialogue where two teachers' statements about students being tired are discussed through several rounds of this technique.
Some tips for writing stylish sentences
The document provides tips for writing stylish sentences, including eliminating wordiness, being concrete rather than abstract, making the subject of the verb the agent of the action, letting beginnings point back to previous information, letting endings point forward to the next idea, and keeping grammar simple when thoughts are complex. Specific techniques and examples are given for each tip to improve sentence structure and flow.
Introduction to the Gorgias
The document discusses how the ancient Greeks addressed questions about how to live and the purpose of life. It introduces how the Greeks developed new forms of life like democracy, drama, and the Academy, as well as new forms of communication such as rhetoric, poetry, and philosophy. For Plato, living justly was the ultimate purpose and gave life meaning. Plato believed justice resulted from the harmonious union of the true, good, and beautiful. The document asks why Plato preferred philosophical discourse over rhetoric or poetry for bringing about justice.
Can you be a feminist and a capitalist?
This document discusses poverty and gender inequality. It notes that women experience poverty at higher rates than men, due to factors like the pay gap, single mother families, and systemic exclusion of women. The concept of the "feminization of poverty" is introduced. The document then contrasts liberal feminism with materialist feminism, noting the latter sees economic exploitation as rooted in gender exploitation, with domestic labor fueling private enterprise and women producing laborers and supporting household consumption. It closes by questioning whether one can be both a feminist and a capitalist.
Drama, theme, & plot
This document discusses key elements of writing history including drama, theme, plot, and historical narrative. Drama refers to the central conflict, theme is the deeper meaning or "big idea", historical narrative connects specific conflicts to broader changes, and plot is the selection and sequencing of details to develop the dramatic conflict and unfold the theme.
Strategies of Juxtaposition
The document discusses five strategies of juxtaposition used in literature and art: repetition, symbolism, context creation, analysis, and irony. Repetition involves juxtaposing words or imagery that convey the same meaning. Symbolism uses imagery as a metaphor for words or vice versa. Context creation situates words in space, time, or context through imagery or vice versa. Analysis reveals the underlying logic of words through imagery or the imagery's logic through words. Irony juxtaposes words and images in a deliberately surprising or thought-provoking way. Examples are provided for each strategy.

1133 - Chronicle, story - drama, theme, plot.pptx
A chronicle retells events in the order they occurred, while a story indicates why events happened and what they may mean. A story can retell events in order or rearrange them based on dramatic and thematic needs. Examples show a chronicle simply stating two deaths, while a story provides context around the deaths and additional events.
1133 concrete vs. abstract - the easiest math quiz you've ever taken.pptx
Lynn Hunt argues that concepts of human nature and human rights emerged not from natural human essence, but from cultural developments in 18th century Europe. Through new media like novels, journalism, and realistic portraiture, middle class people were exposed to perspectives beyond their class and learned empathy. Novels used first-person narratives that gave intimate access to the inner lives of working class characters. Meanwhile, realistic portraiture depicted middle class figures in everyday settings rather than allegorical styles, fostering in viewers a new sense of individual autonomy and desire for freedom and rights. These cultural shifts are what enabled concepts like equality and inalienable rights rather than innate human traits.
what is a city - and whose city is it-1.pptx
According to Lewis Mumford in "What's a City?", a city is a geographic, economic, and institutional entity that brings people together. It functions as a theater of social action where people's activities are focused and worked out through cooperation and conflict between individuals, events, and groups, leading to significant outcomes. The city both fosters art and is a form of art itself, creating theater and being the theater.

The document describes a family's attempt to take a multi-generational sunset photo on the beach. When the grandmother, Mary Ann, fails to arrive on time, the family grows worried and goes to search for her. They eventually find Mary Ann walking alone on the side of the road about a mile from the intended meeting spot. Mary Ann appears confused and disoriented, unaware that she is in the wrong location. The family drives back in silence, with the grandmother distressed and the young child May still upset about having to wait so long on the cold beach.
Ekphrasis
The document discusses form and content in language. It provides Ludwig Wittgenstein's definition of a fact as a combination of objects and explores how sentences can have the same content but different forms depending on word order. Examples are given of sentences with the same meaning but different structures, such as "The grass is green" and "Green is the grass". The document suggests form refers to how an idea is expressed through the arrangement of words while content is the actual meaning or idea being conveyed.
Ekphrasis
The document discusses Ludwig Wittgenstein's view that the world is made up of facts rather than things. It then explores the distinction between the content and form of sentences. Content refers to what a sentence means, while form refers to how the words are arranged. Several example sentences are provided to illustrate how the same content can be expressed through different forms. The document suggests rearranging words in common phrases to change their typical form while retaining the same content.

concrete vs. abstract - the easiest math quiz you've ever taken.pptx
The document discusses the concept of empathy and how it relates to the development of human rights. It argues that 18th century novels, like Pamela, taught readers empathy by allowing them to experience the interior thoughts of characters from different social classes. Through intimate first-person narratives, readers could imaginatively see the world from another's perspective. This fostered the ability to empathize with those unlike themselves. The document contends that it was this newfound capacity for empathy, cultivated through cultural works like novels, that enabled people to recognize the equality and natural rights of all humans.
Ekphrasis
The document discusses form and content in language. It notes that content is what a sentence means, while form is how it is structured through word order. Examples are given of sentences that have the same content but different forms. The document also includes example sentences and asks the reader to determine if they have the same content and form as other examples.
Chronicle, story - drama, theme, plot
A chronicle simply recounts events in the order they occurred, while a story provides context about why events happened and what they may signify. A story can reorder events for dramatic purposes and to convey its themes. A chronicle lists two deaths, while a story may explain that the king died of grief after the queen and develop the plot further. Ordering events differently allows a story to explore causes and meanings beyond a basic chronology.
Writ 1133, arrangement
The document discusses four features of a strong arrangement in an academic writing: 1) It develops the thesis statement by explaining its key ideas, 2) It organizes these ideas in a logical and progressive sequence building to a climax, 3) It devotes most space to the most original, interesting, and/or controversial aspects of the thesis, and less space to less significant aspects, and 4) It stays focused on the thesis without straying. A strong arrangement also has an underlying organizing principle such as moving from simple to complex or cause to effect.

Teaching Online short course intro
John teaches writing and directs social justice programs. During the pandemic in 2020, he felt isolated at home but found relief through silly apps. He reflects that being homeless would have been far worse than being safely at home. He volunteers at Safe Outdoor Spaces, city-sanctioned encampments that provided shelter and services for unhoused people during the pandemic, where infections were prevented. These spaces are located near symbols of wealth and power to highlight the contrast between the housed and unhoused. John hopes to design a community-engaged writing course that combines fieldwork and online learning to better serve students.
Arrangement
The document outlines four features of a strong arrangement in an academic paper: 1) It develops the thesis statement by explaining its key ideas; 2) It organizes these ideas in a logically progressive sequence building to a climax; 3) It devotes most space to the most original, interesting, and/or controversial aspects of the thesis; 4) It does not stray from the central thesis. A climactic sequence should follow an organizing principle like moving from simple to complex, cause to effect, problem to solution, or least to most controversial.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

FEATURES OF A STRONG INTRODUCTION AND THESIS • A strong intro offers a SURPRISING, ORIGINAL, and THOUGHT-PROVOKING thesis. • A strong intro provides only as much CONTEXT as a reader needs to grasp the meaning of the thesis— no less, and no more. • A strong thesis RESPONDS to the WHOLE QUESTION; it doesn’t simply restate the question or respond to parts of it. • A strong thesis makes a DEBATABLE CLAIM about the MEANING of the artifact; it’s not a statement of simple fact. • A strong thesis not only makes a debatable claim but provides the REASONING behind that claim. • A strong thesis is SPECIFIC enough that readers clearly understand precisely what the writer is arguing. • A strong thesis LOGICALLY CONNECTS all of its key ideas.

- 4. Analysis
- 5. WRITING ANALYSES An analysis paragraph should show how a specific piece of directly presented evidence supports and develops your thesis. One good way to organizing a paragraph of analysis (though it’s not the only good way): • State your claim. • Present the relevant evidence. • Draw upon the concepts you’re using to show how the evidence supports your claim. • Indicate what the argument you’ve made in this paragraph contributes to your thesis overall. Bad ways to organize a paragraph of analysis include: • Summarizing rather analyzing. • Neglecting to present the evidence, or at least not directly. • Neglecting to use the conceptual terminology. • Cramming multiple claims and/or pieces of evidence into a single paragraph.
