Essay Assignment #3 Required length: 5-7 pages, not including the Works Cited This assignment requires students to use the ideas from our readings to develop a research project on the experiences of the children of immigrants and college in the United States. Your purpose in Assignment #3 is to devise your own argument about your chosen subject and to support your argument using various sources (and your own ethnographic research if you would like to). This assignment requires you to identify a specific topic on your own and to do library research (and ethnographic research) in developing your argument: you must include direct citations from at least one (1) course reading and at least three (3) sources from the library databases. It is optional to use your own ethnographic research. In your essay, you should formulate a clear and focused thesis and provide a detailed account of your evidence. As mentioned earlier, this assignment is to be driven largely by your own research and thinking. You should be doing library research as you write, not after you’ve completed a first draft. Research and writing are thoroughly connected. Your research process will involve reading, thinking, taking notes, and perusing the databases and other sources until you have figured out what you want to write. Then, as you continue writing, you should go back into the research process again to get new ideas or to find additional sources. Sometimes your argument shifts or changes as you find new sources, and this is a good sign that you are doing research-based writing correctly. Don’t be afraid to change direction in writing the first draft—you can always improve or clarify your draft in your revision process. Remember that, in a short paper like this, you cannot write something meaningful about all aspects of the experiences of the children of immigrants and college in the United States, but you can make a significant argument about one or two issues in connection with this topic. In Essay 3, you need to develop your own argument in connection with the experiences of the children of immigrants and college in the United States. You may pursue any argumentative angle that you would like. You may want to consider some of the topics raised by the authors that we read: · Parental expectations/influence regarding education, college major, career choice · Other influences on students’ pursuit of a college degree, choice of major/career · Connection between parents’ work situation/financial status/work ethic and the choice to pursue a college education Comment by Zahraa Alquraini: I choose this topic · Differences in educational attainment among different second-generation immigrant populations · Reasons for a particular second-generation immigrant population’s high (or low) educational attainment · Obstacles some second-generation individuals experience regarding going to college (such as poor high school education, lack of parental educational attainment, lack of .

Discussion: The Underlying Issues Data is essential in making good decisions. However, the data sometimes can reveal conflicting information, particularly when the issue under investigation is something as complex as student satisfaction and engagement. As a higher education professional, you will be challenged to analyze data and determine how to resolve apparent discrepancies. To practice this skill, consider the following scenario and discuss your potential response with your colleagues. As the executive director of student support services for your small, rural two-year college, you are responsible for regularly assessing student perceptions of the campus climate and their satisfaction with programs and services. You are concerned about some recent survey results that appear to be contradictory. Results on the satisfaction survey are relatively high, but results on the last climate survey are low. Few students report being engaged in many of the support programs and services provided, and they don’t find the campus climate engaging or welcoming. ***Assignment*** Post your analysis of the issues underlying the scenario. What are some possible reasons for these contradictory results? How would you go about further investigating them? Why would you choose that course of action? Explain how you might address the issue of high satisfaction rates but low climate ratings. Learning Resources Note: To access this week’s required library resources, please click on the link to the Course Readings List, found in the Course Materials section of your Syllabus. Focus On As you explore this week's Learning Resources, focus on the uses of assessment in understanding campus environments and making improvements to support programs that focus on student learning and development. Consider the variety of goals that assessment may address, from identifying issues in existing programs, services, and environments, to evaluating the impact of a new or enhanced program. In particular, note the links between assessment goals, indicators of effectiveness, measures and data sources, and processes used to turn data into action. Required Readings McClellan, G.

While-End Loop (Repetition Structure) PreviousNext Hide Description LOOPS, FLOWCHARTS Create your own simple program using a repetition(i.e Loop) structure. You decide the theme. Provide an overview (i.e Program Design) of what your repetition structure is doing. Then provide the Pseudocode of your example. Please keep the design simple for this exercise. Just a few lines of code is all that is needed for this response. First, write using a For loop for a fixed number of loops. Then for the same program use a While loop with a sentinel approach. When using the While loop, you will need some logic to exit the loop and you will need a loop counter. You could take one of your prompts from Road Trip and create a loop around it. I dont want to see just a loop where you just print out the loop counter. Some suggestions: 1)prompt for mileage run daily, count the days, calculate the ave miles per day, display total miles and ave daily miles 2)prompt for grocery costs per week, count the weeks, calculate the ave grocery costs per week, display total grocery costs and ave grocery costs 3)prompt for car miles driven in a month, count the months, calculate the ave miles driven per month, display total miles and ave monthly miles driven 4)prompt for number of movie tickets sold in a night, count the number of nights, calculate the ave tickets sold per night, display the total tickets sold and the ave tickets sold per night. Remember--- The accumulation of total is done inside the loop. To calculate ave you divide the accumulated total by the number of whatever you are looping. The ave is done after the end of the loop. 2: Convert Part 1 to C-code. You only need to do one of the loop types. Don't for get to indent your code. Put Part 2 - problem no.X in the Subject area and submit a .txt (or .c) file for your code. Part 3 (optional): Take your While-End repetition structure from Part 1 and modify it so that the While condition test uses a Boolean variable. You will need to initialize the Boolean variable prior to the loop as well as set it inside the loop so that you exit the loop appropriately. Dr. Janine Nkosi [email protected] 559-278-2892 Office Hours: By Appointment Location: Virtual Office Critical thinking is an important component of sociology; the sociological imagination requires us to step back, to ask questions, to identify and examine unstated assumptions, and to evaluate evidence. 1 Course Description: Scholars suggest that the only effective way to develop these skills is as a conscious course objective, perhaps even the primary goal of the course. Thus, the focus of this course is critical thinking, not social problems or social issues—the issues are the vehicle for teaching critical thinking. In this class, we discuss restoring civil society where people act not just in their own interest but also for the common good. To complement your classroom learning, each student will participate.
