  Epistemology Paper

  $5.00

  1. During the unit on Epistemology, students will construct a written assignment that will dovetail with the specific epistemological theories covered in that section of the course. The assignment will be a single essay that is step driven and may be described to the students in the manner seen below. While the sample directions below break the assignment into steps, this is a single essay and will be uploaded for each objective.
  2. Student Directions:

  a. Following the unit on Epistemology, each student will complete and turn in a written assignment. The stylistic
  requirements for the assignment will be the completion of a four to five page essay that is stylistically clean and displays academic citation of all source material. The work will be typed and will include a works cited page. While the content requirements have been broken down into a series of steps that build upon one another and thus highlight our learning process (see below), this is to be written as a single, cohesive essay. The content steps are:

  b. As you have been introduced to a number of epistemological theories during the last several weeks, you are to choose TWO of those theories and provide a critical evaluation of each theory. Upon identifying and explaining each
  theory, you will then critically evaluate each theory. (This will tie to the Written Communication and Critical Thinking rubrics).

  c. Next, you will transition from a direct analysis of an epistemological theory to an indirect analysis of a third theory. In this case, you are to either design your own cartoon or find a cartoon online that you believe comments on a third epistemological. After providing the cartoon, you will write an analysis of this image in which you identify and explain how the cartoon, in terms of its context and assumptions, comments on this third epistemological theory.
  (This will Connect with the Critical Thinking and Written Communication rubrics, and will tie the visual to the written element)

  d. Finally, you will conclude your paper with a personal discussion in which you identify the epistemological theory that you find most convincing and then critically explore how your choosing that theory will impact your own ethical self-awareness in different contexts and your cultural self-awareness as it is tied to such issues as civic responsibility or understanding your role in a regional, national, or global community. (This will tie to the Critical Thinking, Written Communication, Personal Responsibility, and Social Responsibility rubrics)

  e. As you can see from the description, this assignment interconnects with the Core Curriculum Objectives and will be used as part of the core assessment process. Therefore, you need to make yourself familiar with and work towards accomplishing those goals found on the rubrics for Critical Thinking, Written Communication, Personal Responsibility, and Social Responsibility; these rubrics can be found at:

  Case Incident: The Flynn Effect

  $5.00

  The Flynn Effect: Case Study

  Given that a substantial amount of intellectual ability (up to 80 percent) is inherited, it might surprise you to learn that intelligence test scores are rising. In fact, scores have risen so dramatically that today’s great-grandparents seem mentally deficient by comparison. First, let’s review the evidence for rising test scores. Then, we’ll review explanations for the results.

  On an IQ scale where 100 is the average, scores have been rising about 3 points per decade, meaning that if your grandparent scored 100, the average score for our generation would be around 115. That’s a pretty big difference – about a standard deviation – meaning that someone who’s from your grandparent’s generation whose score was at the 84th percentile would only be average (50th) percentile by today’s norms.

  James Flynn is a New Zealand researcher credited with first documenting the rising scores. He first reported the results in 1984, when he found that almost everyone who took a well-validated IQ test in the 1970s did better than those who took it in the 1940s.

  The results appear to hold up across cultures. Test scores are rising not only in the United States but in most other countries in which the effect has been tested, too.

  What explains the Flynn Effect? Researchers are not entirely sure, but some of the explanations offered are:

  1. Education. Students today are better educated than their ancestors, and education leads to higher test scores.
  2. Smaller families. In 1900, the average couple had four children; today the number is less than two. We know firstborns tend to have higher IQs than other children, probably because they receive more attention than their later-born siblings.
  3. Test-taking savvy. Today’s Children have been tested so often that they are test savvy: They know how to take tests and how to do well on them.
  4. Genes. Although smart couples tend to have fewer, not more, children, it’s possible that due to better education, tracking, and testing, those who do have the right genes are better able to exploit those advantages. Some genetics researchers also have argued that if two people of different intelligence mate, because the gene of the more intelligent mate is stronger, it wins out, meaning the child’s IQ will be closer to the IQ of the smarter parent.

  Questions

  1. Do you believe people are really getting smarter? Why or why not?
  2. Which of the factors explaining the Flynn Effect do you buy?
  3. Are there any societal advantages of disadvantages to the Flynn Effect?

  Portfolio 3: The I-Search Paper (Part 2 – 5) Sample

  $5.00

  What is I-Search?

  The term I-Search was coined in 1988 by Ken Macrorie, who proposed a type of research that more personally involved the writer than a traditional research paper.

  For this paper, you will be choosing a topic to which you have an immediate and personal connection. For example, let’s say that your brother has just been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. You want to find out everything you can about the disease and how it will impact his life and that of your family.

  Each step of the I-Search paper is outlined below. Please be sure to ask if you have questions along the way!

  Parts of the I-Search Paper

  (Click on the link to take you to each section of the paper)

  Part 1: The Research Question

  Part 2: The Lead

  Part 3: The Quest

  Part 4: The Search

  Part 5: What I Learned

  Part 6: The Works Cited Page

  Part 7: Putting it All Together

  *************************************************************************

  Part 1: The Research Question

  Before you get started, you will formulate a research question based on the topic you have chosen. To get from topic to research question, you will be required to answer the following questions:

                  What is my topic? Example: Crohn’s disease

  Why am I interested in this topic? Example: We recently learned that my younger brother, Ted, has Crohn’s disease. The whole family has a direct stake in his care and the outcome.

  What do I hope to learn from studying this topic? Example: I hope to learn as much as I can about the disease and its impact on Ted and our family.

  Research question: Example: Can my brother, Ted, lead a healthy, active life despite his diagnosis with Crohn’s disease?

  The assignment for Part 1: Select three topics and formulate a research question for each. A proper research question will be formatted as above and will answer the above four questions used in the example. Within 24 hours, I will let you know which of the topics, if any, has been approved, and you may then proceed to Part 2.

  Return to top

  Part 2: The Lead

  The lead of the I-Search paper should be no fewer than two full pages long. In this first part of the paper, which you write before you conduct your research, you will explore the following:

  1. What do I want to know about my subject?
  2. What do I already know about my subject?

  Your lead, like the introduction to any essay, must first catch the readers’ attention and give them a sense of the direction in which you plan to focus your paper. It must also establish a clear goal for your research.

  The assignment for Part 2: Write no fewer than two full pages in which you capture the interest of your readers through an effective introduction, thoroughly explain what you already know about the topic, and establish goals for a clear and manageable topic.

  Return to top

  Part 3: The Quest

  In Part 3, you will explore the purpose of your research and the questions to which you seek answers. For example, using our scenario of a brother with Crohn’s disease, you might want to find out the following:

  What can my brother do to keep exercising and playing sports?

                  Are there any foods he will need to avoid?

                  What are the different kinds of treatment for Crohn’s disease?

  What kinds of medications might he need to take as part of that treatment and what are their side effects?

  What emotional or psychological impact might his disease have on him and the entire family?

  In this section, you will explore the following:

  1. What is/are the question(s) I seek to answer through my research?
  2. What subject(s) related to my topic do I need to investigate?

  The assignment for Part 3: In no less than one full page, discuss the questions you want to answer through your research, also giving some explanation or sense of why you chose those particular questions and what kinds of sources/perspectives you might use.

  Return to top

  Part 4: The Search

  For this portion of the I-Search paper, you will conduct your actual research, and you will write about what you find as well as your perspective/opinion about the material you locate. This constitutes the “body” of your I-Search paper.

  The assignment for Part 4: Using the NetLibrary, Internet, electronic databases, and personal interview(s), research the topic you have chosen. You are required to use a MINIMUM of :

  • one book,
  • two magazine/journal articles found on the College’s online e-databases,
  • one Internet sources, and
  • one personal interview.

  For each source, write a minimum of one full page in which you (1) summarize the information you found in that source and (2) give your reaction/response to the information (five full pages total, minimum). No, you may not substitute a different kind of source for another (i.e., an Internet article for an online database article).

  You must properly document any in-text quotations, paraphrases, or summaries with parenthetical citations. You will create a works cited page as a separate assignment. Unlike some research papers, you will be writing in first person (hence the name “I-Search”); however, your language must still be formal (no slang, colloquial expressions, or jargon). Please see the appendices at the end of this assignment for the grading rubrics for this section of the assignment.

  NOTE: Along the way, you will find and discard sources you decide not to use. That’s ok. This section is just for the four sources you decided to keep.

  Return to top

  Part 5: What I Learned

  Part 5 of the I-Search paper is the summary/conclusion of your research. What did you learn? How will this knowledge impact your life? Reflect on the overall process of the I-Search paper and draw some conclusions about what you learned.

  The assignment for Part 5: Write a minimum of two well-developed paragraphs in which you conclude your I-Search experience.

  Return to top

  Part 6: The Works Cited Page

  The assignment for Part 6: For this assignment, create a properly formatted list of the works you actually used for the body (Part 4B) of this paper. Follow proper MLA citation rules to create the Works Cited page.

  Return to top

  Part 7: Putting it All Together: The “Package”

  Once you have completed all of the steps outlined above, put the entire project together. You will “package” the project as a single file that consists of the six previously mentioned parts, properly formatted. You will not be allowed to submit multiple documents. Turn in the entire project by the assigned due date listed on the course calendar.

  The assignment for Part 7: Your final product must contain the following, in the following order, with each part properly labeled:

  • Your research question (on a separate page)
  • The lead (two pages, minimum)
  • The quest (one page, minimum)
  • The search (five pages, minimum – one page for each required source)
  • Your conclusion (“What I Learned”) (two paragraph minimum)
  • Your works cited page (generally one page)

  Formatting your paper

  You will use MLA style to format your paper. This means that you will use the following guidelines:

  • 12-point Times New Roman type
  • one-inch margins
  • your last name and the page number in the upper right-hand corner of each page
  • double-spacing
  • on the first page of your paper, you will include an MLA heading, like so:

  Your name

  Professor Dorhauer

  ENGL 101

  The date, formatted like this: 28 November 2011

  • You also will subhead each individual section, like this: Part 5: What I Learned
