Description:

You will create a document that will serve as a contract between you
and your instructor detailing your understanding of the definition and
consequences of plagiarizing any portion of any assignment for this
class, or any other subsequent class in your program.

Objectives:

  • Correctly use the APA style of citing; summarize and paraphrase without plagiarizing
  • Construct grammatically correct sentences

Instructions:

Please design a Plagiarism Contract using your own words to acknowledge your understanding of plagiarism.

Your contract must include:

  • A comprehensive, thorough definition of plagiarism (discussed in the lecture, in our textbook, online, and various sources)
  • A statement indicating your understanding that if you plagiarize
    work, you will earn a zero for that assignment and may fail the course,
    or be suspended or terminated from the program
  • A response to the question, “What is the cost of plagiarism?”
  • Your signature

*Note: Make sure that all aspects of this writing are in your own
words. If you use outside resources, you must still completely rewrite
the information in your own words to avoid plagiarism itself.

According to your school catalog:

“SCHOLASTIC HONESTY: It is assumed that all students are enrolled in
class to learn; therefore, cheating is not an acceptable practice.
Dishonesty of any type in a course, including cheating on examinations
or plagiarizing materials, can result in a grade of ’F‘ and may be cause
for suspension and/or withdrawal from school. Plagiarism includes
passing off or attempting to pass off the ideas or writing of another
person as one’s own.”

Essay 2: The Characterization of Dee in Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use”

/in /by

The Characterization of Dee in Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use”

The process of characterization is that which every author uses to make, build, or create a character. In most cases this process is carried out in three ways: 1) the author has the character say things that tell us what kind of person he or she is, 2) the author has the character do things that reveal what sort of person we are reading about (or hearing, or seeing), and 3) the author also often has other people reveal things about the character (the closer to the person another character is the better—more reliable—is the information).

First, use the following title: (but put nothing in bold–I use bold here only for emphasis)

The Characterization of Dee in Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use”

Your thesis—the final sentence in your first paragraph—must be something like the following:

In “Everyday Use,” Dee is characterized by what she does, what she says, and what others say about her.

or

In Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” Dee is characterized by what she does, what she says, and what others say about her.

Your next three topic sentences—the first sentence in each of the next three paragraphs must be—(1) Dee is characterized by what she does. (2) Dee is further characterized by what she says. (3) Dee is also characterized by what others say about her. These must be the opening sentences of paragraphs two through four.

Your final paragraph—a conclusion—must begin with (one of the following) In conclusion, Finally, or In summary, or even another equally conspicuous and emphatic transition to a concluding statement/paragraph.

Clearly, what you have to do is fill in your paragraphs with the appropriate materials. In paragraph one you should introduce your topic in a general way, concluding with an explicit thesis. Your body, the three interior paragraphs, must provide adequate “proof” through particular instances—explicitly quoted from the text—that substantiate the assertion of the topic sentence. You must include explicit things the person says and does, as well as important things others say about the person in order to satisfy these requirements. Your conclusion must conclude. In other words, you must give no further support—the province of the interior paragraphs—the body of the essay. You must pull things together, remind the reader what you have attempted to do, and be certain to revisit the key words in your thesis—and title as well—(here at least—your character’s name and the word characterization).

If this essay seems fundamental, of course it is. The assignment is to remind you of the old standard five-paragraph essay format: tell them what you are going to tell them—tell them—then tell them what you told them. The instructor will then grade the essay and return it to you. Then you are to examine all marks and comments, communicate with the instructor if necessary, and rewrite the essay, submitting it for the second time. Both efforts will receive a grade: the second is actually somewhat more important than the first.

If you understand that this essay is on characterization . . . not on Dee, then you are on your way to a good paper with adequate focus.

Environmental Impact Matrix

Assignment Content:

A simple way to make sense of how our individual choices affect natural ecosystems is to analyze the life cycle of everyday products, amenities, or processes (e. g., t-shirts, electronics, food). Doing so can help us make better choices about what we consume. In this activity, you will analyze the life cycle of a product to assess the extent to which its production affects the environment.

To help you prepare for your Wk 1 and Wk 2 assignments, watch the following videos for examples of life cycle analyses:

what is your diagnosis

/in /by

Mr. Boyle is a 55-year-old high school principal who has come in for an assessment. He reports that this is due to his wife’s concern after he had a heated interaction with the school board recently. This interaction has put his job as a principal in jeopardy. Mr. Boyle reports that his wife states that their marriage is unbearable due to Mr. Boyle’s difficulty in getting along with others, and that if it does not improve, she will have to leave him. During the interview Mr. Boyle states that although he has always been a suspicious person, this has lately increased. Despite this admission, he goes on to explain that he believes members of the school board are conspiring with some of the faculty at his school and bitter parents of former students to have him removed from his position as principal. He reports that 1 of the school board administrators recently shared with Mr. Boyle that since his appointment as principal 2 years ago, he has been driving everyone “nuts” because he is too structured. Mr. Boyle reports that he has been doing the best job he can and that he believes this statement stems from jealousy, as the board member’s friend also wanted the principal position. When questioned in more detail, Mr. Boyle shares that he may be overreacting and that he may be at fault for some of these issues. However, he reports that he spends a significant amount of time thinking about how he is being mistreated by the school board. He admits that this is causing him to not perform as well as he could at work.
When Mr. Boyle’s wife is questioned separately, she reports that Mr. Boyle has always had a difficult time making friends and trusting in others. She reports that recently he has become more irritable and argumentative with her, his friends, and the faculty at his school. She shared that the recent fight with the school board was over Mr. Boyle’s insistence that he had been passed over for an adequate yearly raise. Although the school board explained to Mr. Boyle that the all of the principals’ yearly raises had been reduced this year due to budget cuts, he insisted on presenting his case to the school board. She reports that after he was still refused the raise he has been sullen, has told her he feels helpless and hopeless, and has lost interest in most of the things that previously interested him. She reports that this began the same week he was refused the raise.
Mr. Boyle’s 2 children are also interviewed—a boy, 15 years old, and a girl, 17 years old. They both report that Mr. Boyle is very strict and runs the household like a drill sergeant. He monitors every expense, where they go, and who they are with. Mr. Boyle’s daughter even reports that he will check her gas gauge in her car to see if the gas used matches the distance she told him she went. She believes he is just a “penny-pincher.”
When asked to describe himself, Mr. Boyle says he is very proud of the fact that he is a person who cannot be taken advantage of, as he can spot a con from a mile away. He reports that he came from a very poor family and worked his way to where he is today. He reports that although he had to endure a lot of adverse situations and jealous people, he has made his way to the top on his own abilities.
