Solving Problem in Your community course project

This week, you will begin to create an annotated bibliography for the Solving a Problem in Your community course project. In addition to the source you identified in the Week 3 discussion, you will find four additional scholarly or academic sources (you will begin this process this week and continue building your resource collection next week), for a total of five. These sources will be the building blocks for your essay, so be sure to spend time searching for sources, reading critically, and evaluating the relevance of each source.

Argumentative essay

Write a three-page MLA-format argumentative essay on Milgram’s text, Zimbardo’s text, OR on both Milgram’s and Zimbardo’s texts together. Your essay will take the form of an analysis that argues about how experimental methodology impacts results. More simply, your paper will make an argument about what the relationship between the experimental methods and the results might mean.

For example, how costuming, setting, or position affected the outcome of the experiment(s).
New Requirement: You must use at least two sources in your paper (In other words, your work cited must include at least two texts). Additional sources may include the dictionary (to define a relevant term, such as “authority,” for example), or secondary source that discusses the experiment or a method or strategy employed in the experiment(s) (see list of potential sources in Canvas).

You do NOT need to quote the secondary source or to spend a significant portion of your paper referencing or discussing the source. If you write about both texts, you do not need to engage any secondary source (because you will list both texts in your work cited).

Dental clinic

SCENARIO Dr. Hovert is a young dentist, three years out of dental school. She and four other members of her graduating class, have decided to pool their resources and form a dental clinic. Five separate practices will be unified by a common business office. You, along with three other individuals, have been hired to establish a new office system. The four of you are considered administrative assistants, though it’s understood that one of you will ultimately be named office manager. In a sense, all four administrative assistants are competing for the head job.

TASK Your first charge is to determine whether the clinic should accept Medicaid. You’ve been asked to put together a proposal informing the dentists of the advantages and disadvantages of accepting Medicaid and then make an ultimate recommendation as to whether they should or should not accept it.

Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment

The purpose of the Compare and Contrast Assignment is to take two topics of your choice and write a 2 full-page Compare and Contrast Essay using the organization techniques (Topic-by-Topic or Item-by-Item) presented in Unit 4.

Here are the details:

Choose two topics of your choice to compare and contrast. You are not required to do any research for this essay, so this assignment encourages you to pick topics you know about so that you can use your knowledge to build the content of the essay. Below, there will be some examples of compare and contrast topics, but you may pick your own. Ask your instructor if you have difficulty finding topics.
When you choose your topics, spend some time brainstorming to find three items you can compare between the two topics. The example here is how in the Unit 4 lecture notes we found the items of Cost, Size, and Teachers for our Community College and University essay. Again, the items you choose will decide what you would like your essay to focus on. Use your judgment of what you feel is most important to discuss between the two topics.
Decide whether to use the Topic-by-Topic pattern or the Item-by-Item pattern. Either pattern is valid, so use the one you are most comfortable with. When you decide on your pattern, create an Outline as we did in the Unit 4 notes for Community Colleges and Universities.
Be sure that your essay has an introduction that has the four points listed in the lecture notes, not necessarily in the order given in the notes: Topic, Thesis, Attention Grabber, Signposting. (Note, if you decide to write the essay inductively by not having the thesis in the introduction but in the conclusion, that is acceptable, so in place of the thesis in the introduction, you may ask a question and/or explain the purpose of the essay).

With your outline, you will write the essay filling in all the details for each point in the outline.
Be sure to have a conclusion where you evaluate and analyze the topics. This conclusion could be more than one paragraph, and you will likely develop it after writing all the other points of the essay. Part 3 of the Unit 4 notes show how the essay evaluated and analyzed the two types of schools to question the saying “you get what you pay for.”

Include a title for the essay.

Read over the essay several times to see if you need to make any revisions. Also, proofread the essay to make corrections. It is a good idea to let at least one other person read your essay for revision and proofreading. Your reader could be a friend or family member, or it could even be someone you connect with in class. It is fine to get together with a classmate to e-mail essays back in forth for proofreading and revision.

Choose any form of wildlife crime. It can be elephant tusk for ivory, tiger skin, fauna, burning down of forests; the list goes on.

Locard’s Theory

The article discusses Locard’s Theory of trace evidence which basically implies that offenders always take and leave something left behind at a crime scene, such as fiber, biological, etc evidence. This has typically been applied to human-related crime scenes.

The article directly applies this theory to wildlife-related offenses. A net, a cage, poison, or any other means used to capture or destroy wildlife must have a link to the perpetrator who set the instrument there in the first place.

Choose any form of wildlife crime. It can be elephant tusk for ivory, tiger skin, fauna, burning down of forests; the list goes on.

You choose. After you have chosen a type of wildlife or environmental crime, tell us how you believe Locard’s Theory can be applied to the actual scene where the destruction has occurred and tell us how the evidence at the scene can be linked to the offender.

This can be through comparison of netting, threads, prints on an object used; it all depends on what you chose as your example.

Essay # 4 (in-class) Causal Argument

Prompt: For this in-class essay, you will write a research-based, causal argument. Your goal for this essay is to answer the question ‘What caused it?.” You will do this by first choosing a situation you would like to investigate. As you research, you will need to discover whether you’d like to locus on remote causes, near causes, or a chain of causes. Additionally, you will need to uncover the domain of responsibility (who is responsible?). In the end, you can discuss what could happen if these causes were to continue as they are. Remember to be cautious in determining your causes, as the phrase goes: “correlation is not causation.” Your thesis for this essay should be a claim of fact. You will he writing this essay for your peers. Consider what you believe they would know about your topic and what they have yet to know about your topic.

Possible topic ideas:
• Has a difficult situation resulted from a change in your life (a lost job or a new one; a fluctuation in income; personal or family upheaval following death, divorce, accident, illness, or good fortune; a new school)?

• Has the environment changed (due to a drought, a flood or a storm, a fire, a new industry, the collapse of an old industry, a new president)?

• Has a disturbing situation been caused by an invention (the laptop, video game console, 3- D Television, smartphone, self -driving cars, virtual reality)?

• Do certain employment trends cause you concern (for women in management or politics, for young people in rural areas, for men in nursing)?

• Is a situation on campus or in your neighborhood, city, or state causing problems for you (traffic, housing, access to healthy food, health care)?

Choose four poems from class to imitate. For each of your four poems you will identify at least one move that poem makes and try it out in your own original poem.

Portfolio

(4 poem imitations of your choice, with a 1 paragraph statement for each)
(200 points, 50 each per poem)

We will read and listen to many kinds of poems. One of the very best ways to gain an understanding of how poems work is to try writing poems ourselves. For this assignment, you will need to choose four poems from class to imitate (write your own version). This means that for each of your four poems you will identify at least one move that poem makes (more is better) and try it out in your own original poem. Be creative with this—maybe you’ll want to imitate a particular form or structure, or a kind of language, a certain kind of emotional tension, that sort of thing. With each imitation, be sure to include a separate one paragraph statement that explains what strategy or strategies you’re imitating from the chosen poem and what affects you hope your own poem achieves.

Poems will be graded based on: attention to use of strategy/strategies from imitated poem, the poem’s connection to the original poem (the relationship should be clear, but the poem should also stand alone as its own artistic statement), successful completion/inclusion of the paragraph statement for each.
