First of all, make sure you only use peer reviewed magazines or journals as resources. No Wikipedia or news sites.
Here are full instructions.
Before writing the Research Argument paper (see below), I would first need to see an Annotated Bibliography of at least 15 sources, with the understanding that you will need to use at least 7 of those in the essay.

Find sources on your topic or close enough to it (perhaps a little more broad if necessary), and for each one you will need to write a paragraph that describes the info in the article that was important to you in helping develop your argument. So it’s more than just a summary of each source.

Together, we can help narrow your topic for the 3rd paper.

The Paper

Imagine that you are now out of college and working in the field of Electrical Engineering. However, there is a controversy over a particular issue that is raging across the electrical engineering field. You’ve been asked to write a scholarly paper for a journal in which you propose a solution to the controversy, based on research from other authors. Let’s suppose their answers so far haven’t helped quell the controversy, so you’ll be building on their findings to present something new that adds to the conversation.

For this paper, you’ll find a current question or topic of controversy within your career field, research the current positions on that topic, then seek to argue your own, original point of view with the goal of convincing your audience that your position is valid.

For example, if you discuss the Coronavirus’ impact of small business owners, you should research at least two or more positions on this, then develop a position that presents a new angle on the problem, maybe some sort of compromise, or perhaps a way of looking at it that you don’t think has been considered before. You will use your research to discuss how your point is valid. Commenting on your source material is absolutely essential for this paper.

Other examples: Genetically Modified Foods (agriculture, science), Enforcing Texting & Driving Laws (law enforcement, pre-law), Dangerous Cheerleading Moves (exercise science, sports), the audience being smarter about advertising (marketing), same-sex marriage honeymoons (Hospitality), and so on.

We’re looking for something more than a simple pro-or-con, right-or-wrong, one side or the other essay. We want to find a thesis that really digs into the topic and gives us a new way of seeing it. Remember, this is to help the entire field you’re working within.

Why do you think this way about the topic?
Why is your position a possible solution?
Why did your research lead you to this position?
Why…etc?

It’s easy to say to your audience, “You need to do this.” So let’s avoid that and show the audience why you came to the conclusion that you reached. Saying “Americans need to exercise more” isn’t going to get anyone up and moving. But if you say “By helping create community events like Fun Runs and Sports Leagues, we can encourage our neighbors and friends to exercise more in a relaxed social environment,” the reader has a plan of action and understands what’s behind it all.

Instead of pointing to a source and telling your reader, “I agree with what this author said,” try to see the sources as part of a larger conversation—one person says something, and another person (you) responds to what they had to say. Show us source material and then follow-up with reasons why this source helps us understand your thesis more clearly. Always answer (not necessarily in this order or exactly this way) Why? How? What’s the connection? We want to know. As for the call to action, show us examples of why this action is a good one to take. Maybe another community tried it, or research suggests people will respond to it. Show us.

How do we do this?

Start with a topic that people within your field have several different opinions on.
Then examine what people are saying about the issue from all sides. Think of as many arguments that help explain why someone should either support or not support the source arguments. It not enough to just hold a position, but to explain why you hold it.
Read what others have written on the subject and formulate a response. It’s very important to make sure that you have something to say about why you consider a source right, wrong, or a little of both. Your responses to these sources will help develop your thesis.
Decide how to go about showing your thesis as a valid argument. To do this, make sure you break down the argument into several different areas, each one giving you a solid idea to discuss in a body paragraph. Each para. should show another reason why your position is valid.
Conclude by revisiting your original argument, but instead of simply repeating it, show us how all of your body paras. tie together to support your thesis (without listing every idea again. What’s it all add up to?)

This will be an essay of at least 10 pages (plus a properly formatted works cited page) requiring at least 7 reputable sources (none of which can be Wikipedia).

Throughout the semester we have mentioned the many different governing ASTM standards associated with material testing. One such test that we performed in lab was related to ASTM C143 “Standard Test Method for Slump of Hydraulic-Cement Concrete.” Quite often the testing procedure from the ASTM standard have been simplified and included as the procedure in the textbook (Somayaji, Civil Engineering Materials).For this problem, review the actual ASTM standard and compare it to the simplified procedure covered on page 208 of the materials textbook (CON-1: Slump Test of Portland Cement). What are the similarities and difference between the actual ASTM C143 standard and the procedure outlined in CON-1. Are there any items removed in the simplified procedure that are discussed in the actual standard? Be sure to give specifics.

Holly has been working at a large construction company for three years. Although an intern, Holly has earned the respect of her peers. Her supervisor (and project manager), along with her coworkers, constantly support her by teaching her new materials and encouraging her to tackle new tasks. For one specific project, her supervisor chose her to visit the jobsite for the construction of flood retaining walls. Holly is familiar with the protocol required by her company, and her boss trusts her to always wear protective equipment every time she goes into the field.However, when she went to the job site for this project, she heard someone yell, “Be careful not to break a nail!” while she was walking down a particularly steep mud slope. She dismissed the comment at first, but throughout the remainder of the project, different construction workers would make condescending remarks and gestures at her. They would call her ‘Princess’ or hold out their arms as though expecting her to fall, slip, or hurt herself.Holly feels she is being treated disrespectfully because of her gender, but never brings it up to her supervisor as the workers were subcontracted from various companies by the General Contractor. Holly doesn’t feel right getting other people in trouble for such little comments, and is worried long term about how her success might be affected if she makes a complaint.Should Holly say something?

Submit a 1-2 page reflection on how directors and cinematographers shape acting in film using cinematography or production design.  You have a choice: use Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin or Yorgos Lanthimos’ Dogtooth , which you have to watch on Kanopy (instructions below) or a free streaming service of which you’re a member. These questions should help frame your response:How do cinematographers create meaning?How do they light or choose angles to shape memorable moments? Be sure to use specific details you’ve learned in Movies and Meaning. You must cite at least TWO scenes for full credit. If you don’t cite Prince to support your arguments, you will not get full credit.Treat reflections as if they were short essays. You’re not writing a review of these films, therefore do not share how these films impressed you; don’t refer to the “gorgeous cinematography” or “incredible acting.” Avoid a casual, chatty, gossipy tone. Do not use terms like “personally,” “I think,” “I feel.” You will watch the film on Kanopy, a free service offered by the FIU library. Visit FIU Kanopy (Links to an external site.) to register
