Go to YouTube, located at http://www.youtube.com/, and search for an episode of “UnderCover Boss”. Imagine you are the CEO of the company in the selected episode.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Compare two (2) job positions from the episode and perform a job analysis of each position.
2. Describe your method of collecting the information for the job analysis (i.e., one-on-one, interview, survey, etc.).
3. Create a job description from the job analysis.
4. Justify your belief that the job analysis and job description are in compliance with state and federal regulations.
5. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA format.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Topic sentences are the “thesis statements” of paragraphs; therefore, they are both a part of keeping the promise made by the thesis, as well as a sub-promise that should be kept by the
paragraphs.

They are usually the first sentence in the paragraph.
The reader expects topic sentences to provide proof of one aspect of
the thesis sentence as well as to provide an indication of what will
follow in the paragraph.

A topic sentence is NOT simply a statement of fact. A fact does not contain any controlling ideas that can be easily explained, described, illustrated or analyzed.

There are two kinds of topic sentences:
1. A statement of opinion
A statement of opinion contains some form of judgment and the paragraph will support
the opinion in the topic sentence.

Example: The computer is the greatest invention of the twentieth century.

2. A statement of intent
A statement of intent contains no opinion; instead, it informs the reader of what will be
objectively explained in the paragraph.

Example: The common seasoning monosodium glutamate (MSG) has negative side
effects.

In this class we write #1 topic sentences, statements of opinion.

Topic Sentence Functions

An effective topic sentence:

• Follows this formula: topic + comment
• Relates to the thesis.
• Sets up a claim, assertion, argument, evaluation, analysis. (is an opinion!!)
• Contains controlling ideas about the topic that need to be developed in the sentences that follow.
• Orients the reader.
• Provides a context for understanding what follows
• Is not a question
• Transitions between the previous paragraph

Exercise :

Directions:

1. After reading “Topic Sentences,” complete the following exercises.
2. After each topic sentence, write strong or weak.
3. If the topic sentence is weak, explain why.

Remember:

• Does the point have a specific topic?
• Does the point have a comment/opinion?
• Is the topic sentence narrow enough to be covered in one paragraph but broad enough to be developed?

Exercises:

1. Imagine this, you have a simple life, you are a highly educated
chemist and have partnered with a longtime friend in a startup company.

2. As a high-class boxing gym, Relentless Boxing Gym contains the essential equipment
to perform various boxing exercises that allows you to have a superior workout.

3. When a traumatic even occurs, people tend to get a better understanding of themselves
and of their surroundings.

4. Now, not only is Orange is the New Black a great way to kill some extra time, but you
also take away a worthwhile lesson after each episode.

5. Is The Walking Dead an examination of morality?

Choose one of the following letters/responses in Cheryl Strayed’s Tiny Beautiful Things to use in writing a summary.

• How You Get Unstuck, pp. 19-30
• That Ecstatic Parade, pp. 31-36
• The Reckoning, pp. 39-47
• Write Like a Motherfucker, pp. 53-60
• Thwack, Thwack, Thwack, pp. 104-109
• The Woman Hanging on the End of the Line, pp. 110-114

Your final summary should be a paragraph of 5-7 sentences or so.

You should focus your response on writing a referential summary,
which emphasizes the writer’s ideas and highlights the key points that
the writer makes, not a
rhetorical summary, which emphasizes the kinds of rhetorical (language)
or structural (organizational) choices the writer makes.

Week #6: All of the stories this week represent or explore various challenges in life. Those challenges can be personal, professional, or part of a wider situation or context (national or even international). Using examples from works by at least three of the four authors assigned for this week, what challenges do we see the characters or personas (the poems are not necessarily autobiographical) facing? What argument does the text seem to make in terms of facing challenges like the ones described? What can we learn or take away from reading these texts that might help us in facing or understanding our own challenges?

The assignment is basically providing feedback to 1 article, by answering 4 parts, a complete and satisfying answer.

Find in the attachment a file that needs to be revise, and when revising keep in mind:

1. Task Details:

2. To Provide Quality Feedback:

– Focus on explaining your experience as a reader

2. How rhetorically aware do you find this piece of writing to be—with its use of language, tone, and style, for example—in attempting to connect with the target audiences of The Exchange? Specifically, why so?

Q3. Contextual Comments:

Determine the weaknesses in the text and help to fix it. Need to use quotes for each one.

Q4. *****Final Letter*****:

In this space, please compose your formal Editor’s Letter to the author. We encourage you to begin by articulating the author’s argument as you see it; this way you build credibility as a reviewer by showing that you understand what they’re trying to accomplish and how they’re going about it.

Your letter might then elaborate on your experience as a reader. How do you respond to the rhetorical approach the writer has chosen? How might others respond? What is working particularly well and why do you think so? How do you consider the writer’s use of support for their claims? How are you engaging with the ideas of the piece, the language and tone used to convey them, and their specific arrangement?

Then, provide evidence-based feedback to the author that explains and supports your editorial decision of (Accept with Revisions, Revise and Resubmit, or Decline Submission). Your credibility as an editor and your overall decision will depend upon how well you articulate why you are making such a recommendation.

In all cases, authors have the opportunity to revisit their piece before moving forward in the publication process. Therefore, you’re strongly encouraged as an editor to provide feedback with specific suggestions for how the author might further develop the submission to be even more compelling.

Please keep in mind that your editorial decision will help determine which arguments will be read by thousands of students. The decisions you make as an editor are a reflection of what you think really matters, and what writing you believe has the power to actually persuade belief and behavior.

Please your work needs to be accurate and specific.
