Evaluating Ideas

There are 4 parts to this assignment

(1 point each)

.

I am looking for 9 different elements to this assignment! Step through each of the following and make

sure all are included:

Identify opinion topic

Reference in agreement

Why this article?

Why is it credible?

Reference in disagreement

Why this article?

Why is it credible?

Has your opinion changed?

Additional information needed?

HINT:

Use a heading for each part so that I clearly understand what part you are referring to!

The

seond

part of your assignment is writing mechanics

(1 Point)

. I will grade your essay based on the

number of mistakes per 100 words

(0.5

Point)

.

I calculate the

number of mistakes per 100 words, and

then divide that number by 20 to establish the deduction. I do not deduct more than 0.5 points. For

example, if you make 3.2 errors per 100 words, I will deduct 0.16 points (3.2/20).

I also grade citations and refere

nces

(0.5

Point)

. You earn full credit if both are included and no credit if

one or both are missing when quoted material is included. Use quote marks to clearly identify quoted

text, and don’t paraphrase. I do not take any points away if you do not includ

e references.

NOTE:

If I de

te

ct large sections of copied or paraphrased text, I will file charges of Academic

Dishonesty. This can result in an F grade for the class, plus a 6 month suspension, or expulsion.

The price is way too high!
