This document provides instructions for completing an argumentative essay. Students must pick a topic and research question, identify a significant problem related to the topic, propose solutions to the problem, and draft an essay arguing that the problem exists and presenting solutions. The essay should be aimed at an audience able to address the problem. Students will then get peer and instructor feedback and revise the essay. The essay will be graded on the articulation of the problem, quality of argument and proposal of solutions, and clarity and grammar of writing. Grading will consider the use of concepts from an assigned reading on arguing.

Checklist for Global Revision1 Purpose and Audience .docxchristinemaritza
Checklist for Global Revision1
Purpose and Audience
• Does the plan accomplish its purpose – to analyze a reading, develop a claim, and
support that claim with evidence from the selected reading?
• Is the plan appropriate for its audience? Does it account for the audience’s
knowledge of the subject, level of interest in the subject, and possible attitudes
toward the subject?
Focus
• Is your claim clear? Do you show how you derived the claim from your selected
reading?
• Do you identify the key points you'll use to support your claim? Have you
explained the rationale for choosing each point?
Organization and Paragraphing
• Are there enough organizational cues for readers, like topic sentences?
• Are ideas presented in a logical order?
• Are any paragraphs too long or too short for easy reading?
Content
• Is the evidence I've chosen relevant and persuasive?
• Which ideas need further development?
• Are the parts proportioned sensibly? Do major ideas receive enough attention?
• Where might material be deleted?
Point of View
• Is the draft free of distracting shifts in point of view (from I to you, for example,
or from it to they)?
• Is the dominant point of view – I, we, you, he, she, it, one, or they – appropriate
for your purpose and audience?

“When you revise sentences, you focus on effectiveness; when you edit, you check for
correctness. Proofreading is a slow and careful reading in search of typos and other
obvious mistakes” (Hacker 29).
1 Hacker, Diana. Rules for Writers 6th Ed. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2008.
Paragraph Level Revision
“A paragraph should be unified around a main point. The main point should be clear to
readers, and all sentences in the paragraph should relate to it” (Hacker 40).
• State the main point in a topic sentence – the topic sentence should act as a
signpost pointing in two directions: backward toward the thesis of the essay and
forward toward the body of the paragraph.
• Stick to the point – if a sentence does not support the topic sentence it destroys the
unity of the paragraph
• Develop the main point – a series of brief paragraphs suggests inadequate
development
• Make paragraphs coherent – sentences and paragraphs should flow from one to
another without discernible bumps, gaps, or shifts. Coherence can be improved by
strengthening the ties between old information and new.
o Link ideas clearly
o Repeat key words
o Use parallel structures
o Maintain consistency
o Provide transitions
• If necessary, adjust paragraph length – aim for paragraphs between 100-200
words
Sentence Level Revision
In order to revise sentences without “reading over” the passages you’ve become familiar
with, try starting with the last sentence in your essay and read each sentence from end to
beginning, checking each sentence for clarity, effectiveness, and c ...

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.
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.
