September 4, 2020 Leave a comment History, MLA

Im looking for you to be concise. A good short essay will make a brief argument, offer three or four examples to support your answer and briefly discuss how things changed over time.

1. The United States underwent a series of great transformations during the years 1820 and 1850. In what wayssocial, political, cultural, and technologicalwere these transformations apparent? What impact did these transformations have on America? What possible consequencespositive and negativedid the changes occurring in America have on real people?

2. What were the causes of the Civil War? Why did the North and the South choose the path of military conflict in 1861? In other words, was the war necessary or inevitable? Was a relatively peaceful resolution (along the lines of modern Czechoslovakia or the former Soviet Union, for example) possible? Why did the North refuse to let the South just leave the Union? Why did the South resist to the bitter end

Consider the cost of textbooks in college, understand the options to overcome the cost, and develop an opinion on the subject.

Directions:
Reflect on the cost of being a college student. Try to identify not just your own challenges with funding your own education BUT think of the other student populations who attend community college. Now think specifically about the cost of textbooks. Where you surprised by the cost of textbooks? Have you ever considered not purchasing a required textbook because of the cost? What if textbook was free?

What was the relationship between the U.S. Constitution the American Revolution?  What was unprecedented about the Constitution and the political system it established?  What precedents did the first political administrations set in the early Republic?  What values were (ostensibly) shared, and what were the contradictions/compromises embedded in the Constitution and its interpretation?

summarizing an article

September 4, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Other

The article summary should include four main parts here is the article link: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/san-diego-and-imperial-counties-community-colleges-unite-to-fill-growing-labor-skills-gap-300669097.html

Part 1: Title of Article, Author(s), Source, and Date of Article using APA Citation (see Module Resources)

Part 2: After reading the abstract and the article, summarize the main idea of the article.  A summary should communicate to your audience what the article is generally about, and it answers the question, What is the significance of this study or article?  A summary includes details about the purpose of the article and the findings via data or statistics. A summary does not include your personal opinion or critique of the methods used and it must be in your own words.  Use direct citations sparingly.

Part 3: Critique the method or implications described in the article. Name actions or research the author could have done differently in order to improve the study and explain why you think these changes would have been improvements to his/her article or readership.  Remember, you are not critiquing the author’s writing style or opinions, you are critiquing their methods by providing alternative scenarios that you think are also important for them to consider.  For example, if the author is citing data from another state, you may notice that those findings are unlikely to be true in California or even Kern County. Your critique can include your personal observations or data that you find online.

Part 4: Recommend that the article be included or omitted from the required reading list for this course and explain your position. Do you believe this article has educational value? Does it merit inclusion on a required reading list in a Student Development course and specifically to the objectives of this module?  Why or why not?

You have narrowed down your choices to three electives, all of which are very popular and very useful courses that you are very interested in. Decide on the course you want to take. Then using at least two economic decision-making principles, explain why you are making this choice.
