Final Writing Assignment For this assignment, you will compose a letter designed to recruit IDC students to join one of three unpopular student organizations and to support its agenda.  The organization which you will write about is assigned to your according to your last name. There will be no changes. 1.The STALP Collective STALP (Students Tired of Annoying Laptops) is dedicated to the prohibition of laptops anywhere on the IDC campus.    Students with last names starting with the letter A-G 2. CAFC  The Caucus for the Abolition of Free clothing attire. The Caucus seeks to eliminate distractions in college classrooms by requiring the IDC to wear IDC uniforms. H-R 3. MAFD The Male Female Divided wants IDC to separate male and female students in all classes on campus.   S-Z There will be two components to this assignment: Recruitment Letter Commentary/analysis Your recruitment letter must include six (6) different persuasive strategies discussed in the lectures and readings.  You can use tactics you studied elsewhere but they will not be counted. Each strategy must be used in the service of encouraging students to join the organization and/or endorse its cause.   In addition to your recruitment letter, you will also submit a commentary describing and analyzing the different strategies you used in the recruitment letter.   Papers should be submitted by Aug 21st, 12pm on Moodle Submissions are accepted ONLY as a WORD file. Papers submitted as a PDF will not be read.  ASSIGNMENTS TURNED IN LATE WILL BE PENALIZED 20% ON THE FIRST AND EACH SUBSEQUENT DAY THAT IT IS TURNED IN LATE.   The next page describes a series of requirements for the paper assignment.  Failure to satisfy these requirements will result in point penalties.  Please ask Sharon or Julia well in advance (NOT the night before the assignment is due!) if you have any questions about these requirements.  Also, failure to abide by the academic honesty policy described in the syllabus and maintained by the IDC will result in a grade of zero on the assignment and referral to the Dean of Students. Assignment Requirements The paper submitted must be in a WORD format. PDF will not be accepted. The paper will be submitted to the moodle.  You must use the following format for the recruitment letter and the commentary:  12-point Times New Roman font, half-spaced (NOT double-spaced) with narrow margins on all sides.   You must write about the organization assigned to you. There will be no switching. You must portray yourself as a recruitment officer – not the President, VP, etc. – of the organization described in your letter.  As a recruitment officer, you are not authorized to offer any rewards or bribes (gifts in the form of sports tickets, free meals, etc.) to people as an incentive to join the organization, nor are you allowed to make up fictional incentives (e.g., CAFC IDC members will have the opportunity to join a field trip to visit Rome and meet the Pope in the Vatican).  Your letter should focus exclusively on the merits of joining the organization based on a commitment to its cause. The recruitment letter must be no longer than 2 pages; the commentary must be no longer than 3 pages.  There is no lower page number boundary; however, if we think your letter or commentary is too brief to get the job done, we will count off. Your recruitment letter must include at least 6 (six) DIFFERENT strategies discussed in the lectures and/or readings.  You may use any strategy we have discussed EXCEPT for balance theory (which is too obvious) or deception (which isn’t persuasion per se) or granfalloon.  The deception here includes also “throwing a thrown ball”—if you promise something that you cannot fulfill. If you are not certain whether the strategies you’ve used are “different,” it is your obligation to contact us well before (NOT the night before) the assignment is due to find out.  If we deem two or more of your strategies not to be sufficiently different, you will get credit for only one.  You must use at least one persuasive appeal/strategy related to the source and at least one related to the heuristic of consistency and commitment. Persuasive appeals/approaches/tactics that were not discussed in our course—will not be counted.    Your commentary must identify each strategy/appeal (e.g., a door in the face, foot in the door, attractiveness, goodwill, authority, common ground, scarcity, social proof, strong language, etc.) used in your letter and describe the specific purpose(s) the strategy was used to achieve.  At a minimum, your description of each strategy should consist of at least two complete sentences.  You should start with a short theoretical explanation of each theory and tactic (e.g., what is the principle behind the door in the fact/scarcity/ etc and why it is persuasive. Then you need to explain how and why you applied this principle in your paper.  Your explanation needs to be specific and not vague. It is not sufficient to explain that you used the principle of liking because likable people are persuasive. You need to explain how you tried to achieve liking – by appealing to the audience’s common ground, or by choosing an attractive source, etc. Once again, if you chose an attractive source, you need to explain why attractive sources are likable and persuasive and how you tried to achieve that in your paper.    You may not lie under any circumstances.  Lies include falsifications and/or distortions of the truth about the student organization (e.g., Cell phones emit healthy radiation).  Also, you may not offer recruits bribes in any form (tickets, discounts, free food, etc.) as an incentive for joining the organization.  Lies here include using “a low ball.” Appeals on the grade given to you are accepted a week after you receive your grade and no longer than two weeks after you receive your grade. In other words, you have a week to appeal your grade. Grading Rubric We will use the following rubric to evaluate and grade your letter + commentary.   Assignment Component Possible Points Obtained Points Spelling, Grammar, Coherence Are the letter and commentary written in grammatical, coherent English sentences?  Has the assignment been spell-checked? 16 Strategy 1 Example / Commentary Is the example an acceptable instance of the strategy?  Is it different from the other strategies used?  Is the strategy correctly identified and adequately explained in the commentary? 14 Strategy 2 Example / Commentary 14 Strategy 3 Example / Commentary 14 Strategy 4 Example / Commentary 14 Strategy 5 Example / Commentary 14 Strategy 6 Example / Commentary 14 Lies/Deception/Bribes (-3 pts per instance) Total Score 100

What role did women have in the French Revolution? Make sure that your essays contain a proper thesis argument, introduction, and conclusion. Essays should be about 2000 words, typed & double-spaced on one side of the paper, include a proper form of citations and bibliography (see Rampolla, A pocket guide to writing in History), and include a cover page with your name and the topic you have chosen. include at least five different sources (including one primary source). The essay should provide a clear expression of the thesis argument, supported by appropriate historical evidence and analysis, presented in a logically structured and well-written essay with an appropriate scholarly apparatus of citation and bibliography. I had also already given an assignment that started my topic, which I have attached here.

Type your submission, double-spaced, in a Times New Roman font, size 12. Use a standard document format with 1-inch margins. (Do not use any fancy or cursive fonts.) Use proper APA formatting. Include in-text citations and a reference page in APA style. On this page list websites, journals, and all other references used in preparing the submission. Also, include a cover page and in-text citations.  Describe the background and basic issue of your chosen topic. Describe the basic argument of opposing viewpoints. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of both views. Choose which view you agree with. (Only in the conclusion) Explain why you agree with that view.

I am answering the following question:  It has been observed that “environmental racism” – the practice of degrading and destroying the land and communities of racialized and otherwise marginalized populations by exposing them disproportionately to hazardous wastes, industrial developments, extractive industries, etc., is a local as well as a global phenomenon. Consider a policy or practice you see as an example of environmental racism, explain why you see it this way, and then explore the roots of the problem as well as possible solutions. The example you choose may be local or global and may be either an explicit or a de facto case of environmental racism. I have written a quick outline of the essay. It will be attached below. My essay needs to be about indigenous and black communities in Nova Scotia.   ATTENTION: Very severe on using citations and references in order to back up the claims made properly.  I need 4 vetted sources, one of them is already chosen. It is the book “There’s something in the water” by Ingrid Waldron.  If you do not have access to the book, some citations are in the draft.  Most importantly, Thank you!

In 12 point type with 1.5 line spaces, and must include a bibliography using no less than 5 sources. These sources should be economics journal articles and scholarly books. Wikipedia may be used for background information, but may not be included among the 5 sources. Begin your search for sources using the EconLit database available on the AU Library website under “Search databases”. For some policy questions, it may be difficult to find 5 scholarly sources. If you cannot find enough economics journal articles, give preference to journal articles in other academic fields such as law, political science, and sociology. Also, use reputable media outlets such as The Economist, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Business Week, and the like. Citation style: All quotations, and all significant ideas or facts taken from your sources, must be acknowledged. You may use an abbreviated style. For example, if you are citing Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs and Steel, published in 1999, you may write (Diamond 1999, p. 3) in the text, and then include the full citation in a bibliography at the end of the text. “I do not insist on a particular citation style, as long as you use one style consistently and carefully cite sources used. MLA, Chicago, and any other recognized style may be used.” Student Debt: Discuss the pros and cons of direct Government action to decrease student debt, and/or to make some forms of college education free. Pay attention to which students have incurred debt. Do you think the debt of law or medical students should get the same treatment as the debt of undergraduates? Discuss at least two proposals for change. Student debt Federal grant funding for a college education has fallen while college costs have risen. Which students are most indebted? Which students account for the largest part of the total of student debt? How is increased student debt affecting labor market outcomes and living conditions for students once they graduate? To what extent is increased student debt an important generator of economic inequality?

For this assignment, you will be asked to summarize the Belfi, Karlan, and Tranel (2018) study. This article is available through Electronic Reserves. Your assignment involves creating a 2-page double-spaced summary of this article that explains the introduction to the study, the methods the researchers used, the results they found, and a summary of the meaning of these findings. Your summary should be written in APA format and include an APA style citation of the journal article on a separate reference page. Spelling and grammatical construction will also be part of your grade. To attain full credit for this assignment, please check out the rubric that is attached. Additionally, check out my attached summary of a recent neuroscience article to help you get a sense of what I am looking for.  Please upload a word document to this folder on Blackboard. **Please note that your assignment will be submitted through SafeAssign. If you use too many words from the original article, you will be penalized. The point of this assignment is to summarize the original articles in your own words. When in doubt, be sure to use a citation!**  1. Read the rubric – I gave very detailed feedback in the rubrics. Please look at them, as I spent a lot of time grading and giving individualized feedback on things that could be improved upon. Additionally, by looking at the rubric, you will see if there are things you did not do in your 1st summary that you should do for the second summary. 2. Read my example summary – Many of you put your own spin on the article summary, which is usually good; however, my example should have shown you exactly how I wanted things to be formatted. It also includes all the relevant points (e.g. hypotheses, methods section, limitations, and future directions). 3. APA format – It appears as though many of you do not understand proper APA citation formation. I took off very few points for this. On the next assignment, I will not be as lenient. Please refer to this website (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_author_authors.html) for how to properly create an in-text citation or a references list. 4. Page Numbers – Please be sure your paper has a header with your name, the date, and page numbers. 5. Future Directions – Many of you did not include future directions of study in your discussion section. Please be sure to do this for the next assignment. 6. Grammar/Proofreading – I saw a lot of grammatical errors throughout these assignments (e.g. improper use of semi colons, subject/verb disagreement, using words incorrectly). Some of these things can be caught by proofreading. However, if you have specific questions about grammar, please consult the internet or ask me. 7. Using less quotations – Many of you cited quotations directly from the article. While that is usually acceptable, the point of this assignment is to summarize the article in your own words. If you use direct quotes from the original article, it’s hard for me to know whether you understand what the author is saying. Please limit your use of direct quotes. 8. No opinions/I statements – This is considered to be a “formal” writing assignment. As such, you should not insert any of your own opinions or include any “I” statements. Please consult my example if you are confused about this. If there is something you believe should be addressed in future studies, that is not written about in the article, you could say, “Future work might examine the role of the mPFC in music with lyrics versus instrumental music to better understand the role of this brain area and its association with music.”

Read the scenario and instructions below and address all the checklist items in the form of a letter to the manufacturer (part 1) and an email to the distributor (part 2). Part 1) Write a minimum 350-word business letter to the Brechenstruct Manufacturing Co. in your choice of Germany or Ireland, where your friend Hanz works, to complain about the defects in the new folding desk you bought for $1,400. It is a handmade oak desk that literally folds up into a box. It does not close properly and there are defects in the wood itself. You can create your own details as long as they are plausible. Include an in-text citation (in APA’s most current edition format and citation style) from an article of your choice regarding customer service. Include a separate page for the accompanying reference. Part 2) Write a business 500-word email to the distributor, Expressfly International, based in Cadiz, Spain. They sent the product to another person’s address initially and then could not find your package. Two weeks later when it arrived, there were extra charges added on to the bill and due upon receipt. You paid these because you had to in order to be able to get your product. Your letter should be submitted in a Word document and be a minimum of 350 words in length (with an additional reference page) and an additional 2 pages for the 500-word email to the distributor. Checklist: Address the audience (the German or Irish manufacturer for the letter; the Spanish distributor for the email) in an appropriate manner. Provide an explanation of the problem(s). Use the appropriate tone, style, and choice of words based on cultural considerations. Explain what your expectations of the audience are as a result of the letter and email. Provide an appropriate closing to the letter and to the email. Use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Use APA’s most current edition for the format and citation style, and include an additional reference page to accompany the letter that includes a customer service article and a viable source of support for your cultural considerations addressed.
