 How recent does a source references need to be ? At what date does a source (data or scientific report) become outdated and not valid to use as a reliable reference of energy calculation or assumptions?

How recent does a source references need to be ? At what date does a source (data or scientific report) become outdated and not valid to use as a reliable reference of energy calculation or assumptions? Would you consider resources published in the last 2 years, 5 years, 10 – in the case where we could not find anything more recent.

Just to clarify on this question – would it be wrong to find a value for carbon emissions of a house similar to the one we live in and use that value for our carbon footprint? Or do we need to calculate a value for carbon emissions ourselves?
Also, would you recommend calculating energy use first then converting this into carbon emissions or just finding a value for carbon emissions directly?

Assignment Details

Essay Persuasive (A Minimum Wage that doesn’t not Cover Current Costs of Living.)

Description:  For your final essay, I would like you to think about a problem that impacts you on a daily basis. This could be an issue that you encounter through your job, or in your individual community.

TOPIC: A Minimum Wage that doesn’t not Cover Current Costs of Living. Then, you must argue for a particular change that you would like to occur in order to resolve this problem. Use a combination of both outside sources and your own observations and experiences to develop specific evidence for your argument.

WRITING TASKS:

  • Before you begin your essay, you should choose which stance you will take on the topic (i.e., are you for the topic, against it, or some combination of both). Then, develop a strong, specific thesis that argues a specific claim about that topic (i.e., don’t simply argue “I am for ______” or “I am against ______”). Remember that you must argue about a specific change that you want to see happen in order to rectify your issue.
  • To help build the ethos and logos appeals of your argument, you will be required to use at least three sources in your essay. While you may reference sources like personal blogs or Wikipedia in your paper, two of your three sources must be more credible (e.g., articles from magazines, journals, or newspapers; books; government websites, etc.).
  • Consider the audience of your essay. Will your reader be receptive to your argument, or will they be strongly opposed to your claims? Your audience’s reaction to your thesis will determine a number of things in your writing, including structure, tone, and evidence. Also, keep in mind that while recognizing opposing viewpoints certainly lends credibility and ethos to your argument, you don’t want to undermine your own claims.  Give credit and acknowledgement to other opinions, but simultaneously reinforce your own ideas.

Assessment:  Your grade will derive from your abilities to argue successfully your thesis using convincing evidence, specific details and examples, and pertinent outside sources, as well as to organize your thoughts in an effective and logical style to help your reader clearly understand your argument.

Requirements:  You should submit a 1000 word essay, typed and double-spaced.  Use Times New Roman font in 12-pt size.  Format your paper according to MLA guidelines.

Ideas: Demonstrates engagement with the topic, recognizing multiple dimensions and/or perspectives with elaboration and depth; offers considerable insight

Focus/Thesis: Clear, narrow thesis representing full understanding of the assignment

Evidence/Documentation: Evidence is relevant, accurate, complete, well-integrated, well-documented, and appropriate for the purpose of the essay. When called for, uses sources to support, extend, and inform, but not substitute writer’s own development of ideas. Combines material from a variety of sources. Doesn’t overuse quotations or paraphrases

Organization: Organization is logical and appropriate to assignment; paragraphs are well-developed and appropriately divided; ideas are linked with smooth and effective transitions. Introduction and conclusion are effectively related to the whole

Style/Mechanics: Sentences are structured effectively, powerfully; a rich, well-chosen variety of sentence styles and length is employed; essay is virtually free of punctuation, spelling, capitalization errors

Overall: Essay demonstrates excellent composition skills, including a clear and thought-provoking thesis, appropriate and effective organization, lively and convincing supporting materials, effective diction and sentence skills, and perfect or near-perfect mechanics including spelling and punctuation. The writing perfectly accomplishes the objectives of the assignment

What parts of the author’s arguments are weak or unfair?

The Dangers of Soy!
When evaluating the credibility of a source (especially a webpage), we must read that text with a strong critical eye. “Critical,” in this context, doesn’t simply mean making negative comments or looking exclusively for faults and failings; instead, critical reading involves evaluating the quality and credibility of something (i.e., what works well, what might be flawed, what biases might be present, etc.). To hone your skills as critical readers, I would like for you to read and then evaluate the article “Soy Is Making Kids Gay” by Jim Rutz. Use the following prompts below to help guide your analysis:
• What is the overall argument of the article? Can you pinpoint 1-2 sentences that could serve as the article’s thesis (main argument)?
• Find out more information about the author of the article. Is there anything about the author’s personal beliefs or credentials that might create a bias or unfair influence in his writing?
• Explore the website (source) of the article by looking at other articles, the “About Us” section, and even advertisements. Do you think that this particular site might be written for a particular audience? Would this audience have a bias toward the topic explored in Rutz’s article?
• Check the article’s currency (when it was published or written). Does the date show that the article is recent and up-to-date or not? Why might the currency effect the validity of the article’s argument?
• What parts of the author’s argument are written especially well? Provide specific examples. Why do you feel these examples are particularly successful?
• What parts of the author’s arguments are weak or unfair? Again, provide specific examples. Why do you feel that these examples are particularly unsuccessful?
Remember to give credit when you quote from the article itself, and consult the discussion rubric, which details the criteria necessary for successful responses for this assignment.
You must start a thread before you can read and reply to other threads

3 paragraph essay. Please avoid the use of second person point of view (you, your, yours …). You do not need to write down the topic. Your introduction should allow me to identify the topic you have chosen to discuss. Use traditional indented paragraphing. This should not be a research paper, but should be based on your own interpretations based on the lecture discussions.

Who’s to Blame for Distracted Driving?

Who’s to Blame for Distracted Driving?
For this discussion board, read the point/counterpoint “Apple’s Corporate Responsibility for Distracted Driving” written by Katherine Mangu-Ward and Jason Mars. Choose the author whom you feel makes the more successful claim. Then, explain—using specific quotations and examples from the article—why you believe that this author has produced the better argument.
In order to gauge the success of the opposing pieces, think back to the rhetorical triangle: Does the author appeal to logos through the use of facts, statistics, logic, etc? Are anecdotes, narrative examples, personal stories, etc. used to create pathos? Does the author invoke ethos by appealing to the reader’s sense of right and wrong? Also, does the author establish his/her credibility through knowledge, tone, etc? Is there anything else about the author’s writing that is particularly effectual in helping him/her to reinforce his/her thesis?
