Hi Students

The following are your options for the final long paper. Choose one and write a 1500-word paper; it can be longer, but 1500 is the minimum word count. Include a “Works Cited” page of about eight (8) sources, and, of course, in alphabetical order. Several texts by a single author can be used which means you will have to use the “broken (- - - ) line” to indicate ditto. Vary the in-text format, especially with author’s name being used as part of the signal phrase and also as a parenthetical reference, following the citation. Avoid very long set-offs by inserting the ellipsis appropriately, and acknowledge the basic requirements of less than or more than four lines of prose. This is due during our last class meeting. NO LATE SUBMISSION!

1. Colleges should adopt a policy guaranteeing that students in all majors can graduate in four years.

2. The NCAA should not implement a playoff system to determine its Division 1 football champion.

3. Many have claimed that cultural diversity in educational and occupational environments has helped people to develop racial tolerance. Write an argument either supporting or refuting this claim.

4. American television thrives on sensationalizing news rather than being objective.

As a reminder, you have the option to argue for or against the given prompts. From the prompt you select, make sure you provide a title for the paper; your grade begins there.
