Essay 1: Narrative Argument
Prompt
Using personal narrative form, make an argument about education. This topic is
intentionally broad. You can write about elementary school, high school, college, or even
non-academic education. No matter the direction you choose to take this topic—academic
or non-academic, kindergarten or the university—you have three specific requirements:
1. Have a clear thesis
2. Use personal experience to prove your thesis.
3. Have a title
Tips
-Avoid theses that are too vague or too broad: “College is a great opportunity.”
-Avoid cliche theses: “The pen is mightier than the sword.”
-Avoid theses that everyone already agrees with: “Every child deserves education.”
-Focus on organization. Like a lawyer presenting her case to a jury, write with clear
direction.
-Avoid narrating long periods of time. Instead, narrate an experience that concisely
supports your thesis: Rather than “my time in bootcamp,” narrate “signing my name in the
recruitment center.”
-Go to the writing center
Format
-Size 12, Times New Roman font
-Double spaced
-1 inch margins
-2 pages (no less than 1.5

Social Networks: The Positive and the Negative Aspects
According to recent statistics, approximately 73% of teens are on a social network, the average teen has 201 Facebook friends, and 37% send daily messages to their friends. Parents are concerned about the impact that social networks have on their children.
Directions:
Write a well-organized argumentative essay that would be appropriate for the editorial page of your campus newspaper. Argue that the benefits of social networking outweigh its risks, or argue the opposite: the disadvantages of social networking exceed the benefits. Be sure that your essay has an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Your essay needs a firm thesis statement that explains your view, reasons for your view, and support in the form of specific examples and details for the reasons.
Use effective sentence structure and avoid fragments, fused sentences, and comma splices. Follow the standards of written English, especially in regard to punctuation, agreement, and spelling. You may use a dictionary. Be sure to give your name, date, and class time in the header. Include a title, use ink, write on one side of the paper only, and skip every other line. You may write as many pages as needed.

Written Summary and Analysis of Assigned Readings: Two reading lists will be distributed throughout the semester corresponding to the assigned readings for the pharmaceutical industry and the health insurance industry, respectively. The writing assignments count for 15 percent of the course grade. Students will choose an article from these lists and submit a one-page, hard copy summary/analysis at the beginning of class on the designated date. The one page summary/analysis should have the following format and address the following points:
size 12 font, Times New Roman or Arial font, single-spaced, standard margins (1” top and bottom and 1.25” left and right)
i. What is the goal of this study? ii. What is the time period analyzed?
iii. What is/are the data source(s)? iv. What are the main findings?
v. What new information did you learn? vi. What are some suggestions/criticisms you would make to the
author(s)? vii. Questions you have for the author(s)?
Any summary short of one complete page will not receive credit. A separate title page should include your name, course number and section, reading #, and titles and authors of chosen articles. A sample writing assignment can be found on Blackboard.
Writing assignments are required to be in hard copy—no email attachments are acceptable. In addition, students are required to upload their written assignment to TurnItIn through Blackboard before class begins on the designated day. Acceptable file formats include .doc, docx, .txt, and .pdf,. TurnItIn checks each students paper for plagiarism against any existing sources; students may submit a
draft themselves to see what the outcome of such a scan is to ensure it is within an acceptable range (<20%).
The written summaries/analyses will be graded with a ?+, ?, ?-, or 0. The problem sets will be graded with a ?+, ?, ?-, or 0. A grade of “0” is earned for incomplete assignments, late assignments, and assignments that do not meet a minimum effort level. A ?+ corresponds to “excellent;” a ? corresponds to “good;” and a ?- corresponds to “fair.” The first writing assignment will be graded and returned back to students with feedback for preparation of the remaining written assignments as will another few randomly chosen assignments during the semester. The remaining written assignments, along with these three assignments, will form a portfolio that will be graded and returned back to the student at the semester’s end. The portfolio’s assigned grade (i.e. ?+, ?, ?-, or 0) will be applied equally to each completed assignment.
A hard copy of this exam is due in class on the date indicated in your syllabus. You must answer all of the questions given below.
Each of your answers should be approximately 3-4 pages in length. Please put your full name, your section number, and the due date on the first page of your exam. Your exam should be computer-printed in either 12- or 14-point font, with no more than one-inch margins all around. Make sure to number each answer.
Write your answers as a teacher explaining these ideas to an imaginary class of students who have not heard this material before. You may study with other students in preparation for this exam.

If you do work with anyone else, you must list their names on your exam.

(Be sure to explain why these alleged strengths and weaknesses are important ones.)
