This week we have explored the role confusion, or dichotomy of purpose, faced by probation and parole officers. One vivid symbol of this role confusion is the question of whether these officers should carry firearms. What are the pros and cons of probation and parole officers carrying guns?

I suggest you complete the module in the following order:

1) Read Essentials of Community Corrections, Chapter 4, “The Role of the Practitioner”

2) Watch the segment “Adult Probation Officer Recruitment Video”

October 5, 2020 Leave a comment English and Literature, MLA

Assignment Details

Description:  Use process analysis to teach your audience how to do one of the step-by-step processes listed below. In addition to choosing a topic that aligns with your pathway/career field, I would strongly urge you to select a process that you feel you are uniquely qualified to teach.  In other words, keep the focus on your own expertise and experience.  Explain the process one step at a time, and be sure to provide your reader with enough detail to make each step clear. (Note: Although you will be explaining the steps of a process, do not write your essay as a numbered list. You must compose your essay in the traditional paragraph structure.)

Possible topics:

AHCD: How to write a song
Business: How to shop smartly
Education: How to study for an exam
Health Sciences: How to maintain a healthy lifestyle
IMCT: How to drive defensively
Public Safety: How to practice basic safety precautions on a daily basis
SBSHS: How to be a good friend or partner
STEM: How to create and maintain a budget
(If you would like more explanation about the eight career paths at Broward College, visit BC’s “Programs and Degrees” webpage.)

IMPORTANT: A successful process analysis essay should go beyond simply explaining how to do the particular process; it must also make an argument that reinforces WHY or HOW the reader might benefit from knowing how to do these steps. Also, consider how your writing will respond and adapt to a variety of potential audiences, who will have differentiated knowledge levels and experiences.

 

Assessment:  Your grade will derive from your abilities to describe successfully the process of your choosing using a variety of specific details and examples, to argue a clear claim/thesis, and to organize your thoughts in an effective, chronological manner to help your reader clearly understand your argument. Consult the Essay Rubric for a detailed list of the criteria that comprise A, B, C, D, and F essays.

Requirements:  You should submit a 500 word essay, typed and double-spaced.  Use Times New Roman font in 12-pt size.  Format your paper according to MLA guidelines.
