I want to hear your thoughts on and interpretations of the texts, not SparkNotes, not Shmoops. Therefore, if I find plagiarized, paraphrased or summarized material from a study aid site or another resource of that nature, I will write you up for academic dishonesty, EVEN IF YOU CITED THE MATERIAL. This course is not about your ability to copy and paste another persons interpretation of a text but your ability to interpret and analyze a text. Peer-reviewed secondary sources (articles in refereed journals, available through the library databases), ARE allowed in your papers, but they must be incorporated and cited properly, whether paraphrased, summarized, or directly quoted, both in-text and on a Works Cited page.

CHOOSE ONE OF THE TWO PROMPTS

Prompt 1: Imagery:

Both of these poems include imagery that appeals to the senses. Picking one poem, focus on the imagery used. Identify what senses are evoked through the imagery and discuss how those concrete images help develop the poems purpose/theme.

Prompt 2: Speaker and Audience:

Both of these poems are responses to something stated by an unseen listener (not you as the reader). However, the poems are ultimately responses directly to you as the reader. Discuss the techniques and devices the speaker uses in these two poems to speak directly to the reader and identify what the intended reaction of the reader may be. Then, discuss whether you reacted the way you think the speaker intended. If so, how did that reaction fulfill the poems purpose; if not, did the speaker still get her point across? How?

1. There are conflicting opinions regarding the historical effectiveness of FDA’s regulatory pathway for manufacturers to obtain marketing approval for new biosimilar therapeutic products.  In 2-3 paragraphs please explain your own opinion as to why FDA’s marketing approval process for new biosimilar products is or is not effective?  As part of your answer please include an assessment of regulatory and other types of variables that both proponents, as well as opponents, of the process have used to describe their own opinion.  Should FDA’s biosimilar therapeutic marketing evaluation process remain the same, or do you believe it should be modified in some way?

2.Do you believe it is possible for FDA to accelerate its current new pharmaceutical and/or biologic approval processes without compromising patient safety?  If so, how can this be done?  If not, why not?

As we previously considered our reactions to The Master Switch we should also do the same thing for Consent of the Networked by Rebecca MacKinnon.  As before, you can present your thoughts in any format or organization that makes sense to you, but address the following questions in your post:

What do you think MacKinnon’s point was in writing this book? Does she have a personal agenda? If so, what was it?
How persuasive are her arguments?  Do you buy them? If yes – why? If not, what are your counter arguments?
How have your personal perceptions on the openness of the internet been impacted by reading Consent of the Networked?
