Will attached Assignment Overview Earlier in the course, you converted your research topic into an overarching or primary research question. Even the most focused research question may contain within it a series of more fundamental and related questions. Once these are determined, the researcher must then determine the kinds of information necessary to answer them. By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following EPAs and practice behaviours: C4: Engage In Practice-informed Research and Research-informed Practice C4.GP.B Apply critical thinking to engage in analysis of quantitative and qualitative research methods and research findings. Assignment Description In this assignment, you will identify a series of subquestions that must be answered in order to find the answer or answers to the primary question. You will also begin to identify the kinds of data you will need, from whom you will gather it, and which methods you will apply to your proposed study. The approach you use “may depend on your topic, purpose, and intended use of the study results, as well as the orientation toward social science that you adopt” (Neuman, 2013, p. 110). The subquestions you have identified will help you determine the kinds of data you would need to collect in order to address your research question. Who will be answering these questions: Who will your participants be? Is the data quantitative or qualitative in nature—should it be in the form of numbers or words? What methods might you apply to glean the information that you seek? What instruments, measures, or tools would you use in your study? Also, identify how you would analyze the data that you collect. Will you be conducting statistical analyses of any kind? Or, will you be using coding and categorizing? Will you be using any computer software to assist with the analysis? Finally, consider the results of the study. Who should know about these results? How will you present them? Assignment Instructions For this assignment: Restate your overarching research question. Identify critical subquestions related to a primary research question. In other words, what questions require answers in order to address the primary question? Identify a relevant pool of participants. Describe data sources (artefacts, literature, et cetera) relevant to a given research problem. Are you seeking information represented by numbers or words? Stated differently, are you interested in quantitative or qualitative data, or both? Describe these. Identify contextually appropriate data-collection tools. Explain the approach to relevant data interpretation. Be sure to explain why you have selected this approach. Consider whether you will use any computer software or programs to assist with the data analysis. Explain the appropriate audience and medium for final data analysis. Include how you propose to present them and what format would be most appropriate to communicate your results to your audience.

Thesis should consist of 3 parts: theoretical part, empirical part and conclusion(3-4 pages). At the end- all references, bibliography, webography and etc. Theoretical part should include at least 2 chapters, one more general, the second one more related to the subject. First chapter should consist of approximately 20 pages. Empirical part can consist of 1/2/3 chapters ( first description, then my own research – methodology, descriptions etc.). Suggestions from professor: First define the topic, propose the questions, define the structure. At the beginning of the thesis should be introduction ( 2 parts) : few sentences about the thesis and then description of methodology ( 1-2 pages). The paper should include  proper research questions or hypotheses. The formatting: size 12, new romance/ Arial. Space 1,5. Deadline: 12 August 2020.

Write a 3-5 page formalist analysis of a text on “A Monster Calls” by Patrick Ness; each paragraph has to be 5-8 sentences long. Research text and include your findings in the essay, which I will include the research since it has to come from the library of the school. Will need to have a Works Cited page. The thesis has to be as follows, but all one sentence: Writing your essay: C. Thesis statement model: The thesis statement is the last sentence of your introduction. It should look like so for this essay: Although (counterclaim) __________________________________________, ^this should be where you state the surface level interpretation of the text I argue that (claim) _______________________________________________ ^this is your main argument. You will be arguing that the text has a deeper meaning or deeper commentary here and you will state what that meaning or commentary is because of the text’s use of _____, ______, and ________. ^these are your subclaims and should be a list of the literary elements you found in the text that you’ll use as evidence to support your interpretation of the text’s deeper meaning or commentary **Please note that, though I’ve separated this thesis statement into 3 parts, your thesis statement is made up of one sentence.** A quick note on Introductions and Conclusions: Introductions: Your introduction should be at least 5 sentences long. Your introduction should move from a broad topic to the specific topic of your essay. You should begin your introduction without referencing the text you are analyzing — you should, instead, discuss a broader idea or topic that relates somehow to the text you’re analyzing. Do not begin your essay by saying something about the text or author; instead, discuss the importance of teachers in general (in reference to the example thesis mentioned above). Your introduction should then move from the broad topic toward the specific and will, eventually, reach the thesis statement. Conclusions: Your conclusion should do the opposite of your introduction and should also be at least 5 sentences. You should review the thesis statement and your essay’s topic in 2-3 sentences and then should move to a broad topic. Consider answering the question “why should someone read this text?” “Who cares about this deeper meaning or commentary and why should someone care?” The last 2 – 3 sentences of your essay should NOT reference the thesis, the text, the author of the text, or anything specifically referenced in your thesis statement.

I’ve raised a dog since when I was 15. but I haven’t seen her after I came to the US. like almost for 5 years. would like to just make up any story about my dog. like the first time, I met her she was very aggressive, but now she’s really friendly etc.

Compare the poem “Daystar” by Rita Dove to the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins. The answer needs to be a solid, well thought out paragraph.

Note that the descriptions, while lush, are often maddeningly incomplete. It’s impressionist writing, designed more to give you the feeling of a place rather than an exact picture. Is this effective? If so, why? If not, why not? An unnamed Narrator sets up Marlow, who speaks the rest of the story, all in quotes. Marlow is limited, fallible — an active witness, but a confused one. Do you think you’d be equally confused, given the odd circumstances around you? Much has been written about the “glow brings out the haze” in terms of his obscure writing. What do you think? “Men enough to face the darkness.” Comment, please. Fresleven, the Dane, killed over two hens. What do you make of the incident? What do you make of the Belgian doctor measuring Marlow’s head? There are African slaves chained together at the neck; they are clearly starving to death. Comment, please. We are introduced to Mr. Kurtz as a first-class agent. What do you think that means? Mr. Kurtz is also called a prodigy, an emissary of pity, science, and progress. What does all that mean? (As pointed out in the Content section, Conrad is a supreme ironist. What do you think he’s setting up with all this high-flown description?) Mr. Kurtz, finally, is a “universal genius” and Marlow hates lies. Hm. Heart of Darkness, Part II Now that you’ve finished Heart of Darkness, what do you think? Be honest. I can take it. Specifics: why does he miss his late Helsman awfully? This is an important point, one that Conrad uses to balance WHAT against corruption? Page 50, in my text; if you don’t have the same text, please find it: Conrad’s great comment about restraint. What restrains a human being from doing the unthinkable? Your thoughts on this passage, please. When we finally get to Kurtz we discover that he has become the worst mass murderer of them all. Human sacrifices offering to him. How has this happened? Comment please. (Also, please, on the gorgeous detail of the skulls at his compound all facing inward.) The worst thing anyone in the Company will say is that Kurtz’s methods were “unsound.” Why don’t they have any more condemnation than that? Why does Kurtz say “the horror”? Do you agree with Marlow’s take on it? Your thoughts on “what party? Any party” please. Finally, why does Marlow lie to the Intended?

Analyze a published article that says something important to you. How does the author connect with you as her or his audience?

In this paper, you will choose a topic from the list below and treat it in 8-10 pages using at least six secondary sources. What is the good life according to Lucretius? How does St. Augustine find happiness? What is a good man according to Marcus Aurelius? What makes a good state according to Thucydides? What is the difference between the East and the West according to Herodotus? How are women viewed in the East and West? How is a soldier viewed in East and West?

In one 500-word post, respond to at least one of the following questions: If you were asked for input into a sex education curriculum (you decide what grade levels), what suggestions might you make? How have the readings in our class so far informed your vision of effective sex education? How do this week’s readings prompt us to expand how we think about and address sexual violence — whether we address it through activism, policy changes, writing, art, media, or something else? You should provide examples and citations from at least two readings. Citations should look like (Garcia 2012: 61) or like (Garcia 61), for example. You are also welcomed and encouraged to reflect on your own experiences.

So by now, you have read a lot of Emerson.  And a lot of you in your essays said that he is very confusing and at times frustrating, writer.  I totally agree.  We’ll be reading more of him, but we’ll also be transitioning to other writers, most specifically Henry David Thoreau (who is much, much easier to understand).  So this assignment is going to be a pretty straightforward one.  The prompt is: What do you think of Emerson? I want you to be VERY specific here. Don’t just say he’s confusing–tell me why and tell me the implications of that.  Many people have said that Emerson is confusing on purpose, and that is a kind of unkindness to his readers (I don’t disagree).  So talk about that kind of stuff.  You can write whatever you want in any kind of way you want; but again, be VERY specific.  The more specific the better. Use quotes, then talk about these quotes. Use Thoreau to help you explain Emerson, etc. Your essays should be at least two pages double spaced
