Week 3 Quiz   

Question 1When integrating a quotation into your argument paper, which of the following is not a correct approach:

Smith, however, disagrees. “It is indeed blanket decisions that will save lives until we have more information” (2020, p. 37).

Most experts do feel that holistic medication has some benefits of varying degrees; however, a few outliers hold the opinion that “all holistic medicines should be banned pending further research and approvals” (Jones, 2020, p. 297).

Martinez goes on to assert: “We should never look at just one factor when making blanket decisions about a field of medicine” (2019, p. 876).

In fact, according to Msuku (2018), “We are unaware of most of the communicable diseases that will impact humanity in the next ten years” (p. 34).

Question 2When paraphrasing a source in an argument paper, you should:

Change some of the words, use a good lead-in, and include the page number in the in-text citation.

Use a good lead-in, completely rephrase the passage into your own wording, and provide author and year in the lead-in or in-text following the paraphrase.

Use a good lead-in, completely rephrase the passage into your own wording, and use only an end reference vs. in-text citation.

Just be sure to change the wording significantly; if you do this, you do not have to introduce or cite the source.

If you are opting to paraphrase and not quote, you risk plagiarism if you do not completely rephrase the information significantly into your own language and include the author and year.

Question 3Which of the following is a correct use and APA in-text citation of a summary of a source?

Herman Bayo addresses a range of valid points in opposition to a blanket ban on holistic treatment; in fact, Bayo’s particular look at the relatively low danger of holistics as compared to mainstream medicine is even more compelling than is Smith’s (2020).

In one example, Herman Bayo looks at the number of medical errors made by one clinic in the 1990s (2020).

Herman Bayo (2020) addresses “a range of valid points in opposition to a blanket ban on holistic treatment” (Smith, 2019, p. 34).

Herman Bayo (2020) emphasizes that while some experts wish to ban all holistic treatments, many feel that this would be a hasty and unhelpful approach.

Week 5 Quiz   

Question 1Which of the following is not an effective “checklist” item for topic sentences of body paragraphs during drafting?

  Finding good arguments in support of your thesis by browsing the internet and rephrasing them as your own paragraph topic sentences

  Checking to see that your topic sentences contain the most relevant and effective transitional words and phrases possible

  Making sure that in your topic sentences, you aren’t making a big or confusing “leap” in ideas from the previous paragraph

  Making sure your topic sentences are all of your own creation and all express a clear point directly related to your thesis statement

Question 2Which of the following is an effective final sentence of your entire essay?

  Now that I have told you why we need local clinics, you should also think about why we need to encourage vaccinations in the U.S.

  Do you want to support local clinics, or do you want to be responsible for possibly losing a life, a life that could be the next President or the next Albert Einstein?

  Consider the impact that improving access to local clinics will have on the children who most need it; we can save lives, lives that may go on to improve the world in major ways.

  That’s just my opinion; you can take it or leave it.

Question 3After writing the full draft of your essay, why should you revisit your introduction and review, and possibly adjust, it?

  Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is too mild in tone. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and be aggressive and combative, making our voice an “angry yell” vs. a “reasonable assertion.”

  Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is lacking in humor. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and insert a joke because humor is essential to good argument.

  Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is in good enough shape, with an attention-grabber, background information, and thesis. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and fine-tune each of those elements for maximum effectiveness and for good, logical flow between each sentence.

  Often, our initial draft of the introduction paragraph is too assertive. Now that we’ve written our essay, we can go back and adjust our wording so the reader understands that we do not have an opinion on the topic either way.

Question 4When writing a full essay draft, which of the following should be avoided?

  Creating a solid plan that you can work from while drafting, such as an outline or other organizational point of reference

  Writing freely, with no plan, so that all of your ideas get on the page

  Checking, after writing body paragraphs, that they are smooth, driven by your own voice, and fulfill the purpose of your essay by strengthening your stance

  Making sure that each paragraph begins with your voice, provides support, and fully explains the relevance of the support

Question 5Should the first draft of your essay include your supporting details?

  Yes, but just a few of your supporting details. You will fill in the rest during your final draft.

  No. Your draft should be your introduction, just a few body paragraphs (not all), and your conclusion.

  Yes, but only in outline form. Write your major paragraphs, then list the details as notes under each.

  Yes; you should assume that the first draft is your full essay, including everything you would write for a final draft.

Week 6 Quiz   

Question 1Which of the following is not a best practice when performing peer review?

  Reading your classmate’s draft carefully and thoroughly and expressing where you, as a reader, need more clarity, flow, and examples.

  Offering suggestions for going from “good” to “great” with elements like topic sentences and the integration of source material.

  Noting places where the writer could present more “voice” by explaining the relevance of the evidence.

  Noting, in one or two sentences and as the entire “review,” that the draft looks pretty good and that the writer should check for grammar and APA.

Question 2Which of the following is not a reasonable goal for peer review?

  Correcting all of your classmate’s errors and rewriting each of their paragraphs

  Helping your classmate revise for strength of argument

  Receiving feedback that meets your goals regarding structure, flow, and voice

  Receiving feedback that gives you specific ideas for synthesizing your sources with your voice so that you can consider those ideas and apply them in a way that is effective for you

Question 3Which of the following is not a good phrase to describe the role of a peer reviewer?

  Equal Classmate

  Extra set of eyes

  Test reader

Week 8 Quiz   

Question 1

Paragraph 1: Define and Explain

This paragraph is not presented to the jury. This paragraph simply explains your celebration plans in detail.

Requirements:

In one rich paragraph, describe how you will celebrate finishing this class. Employ very specific details to create a full paragraph. You may richly describe one specific celebration, like a party or a trip, or you may describe several celebratory actions you will be taking in the coming week or weeks.

Paragraphs 2 and 3: Defend Your Choice with Argument Technique

Paragraphs 2 and 3 will be presented by you to the jury. So, for your final 2 paragraphs, imagine that you are indeed presenting and defending your plan for celebration to this jury, and that they (remember: a seasoned and tough jury) will ultimately give your plan a “thumbs up” or a “thumbs down.” In these paragraphs, be as creative and unique as you’d like, as long as you are meeting the requirements for each paragraph. Your goal is to present the most solid and powerful argument possible; you want that well-deserved stamp of approval!

Paragraph 2: Apply Aristotle

Requirements:

In a rich, detailed, paragraph, employ the argument appeals we have studied and practiced: logos, ethos, pathos, and kairos. This paragraph should present “your case” to the jury in detail and should demonstrate the sound use of all four of these appeals.

Paragraph 3: Toulmin

Requirements:

In a rich, detailed paragraph, apply the Toulmin Model in two specific ways: to establish common ground with the jury and to address at least one possible counter argument the jury might forward. Very thoroughly and logically apply concession and refutation to that counter argument; remember- you need that “thumbs up,” and this jury is a tough one. Consider the many reasons they might disapprove and take those reasons apart with compelling rebuttal techniques.
