WEEK 13: Your Intro Paragraph

This blog doesn't call for any "extra" work.  Paste your introduction paragraph from your Proposal Argument here.  Remember to look to the three possible organization schemes if you need help structuring your intro.  But basically, we need to know:

  • What is the problem
  • Who is affected
  • What will happen if it goes unsolved       (these three are context)
  • What is the solution you propose for the problem  (this is your thesis)

So post this by the due date, remember we voted to move the dates up this week so we wouldn't have to work on Thanksgiving.  Your post is due Monday, your peer comments are due Wednesday.

For your peer comments DO THIS:

Ask THREE questions about the context part of the Intro.  This should help your peer work on areas that are vague or confusing.

Rate the thesis:
  • very interesting and arguable
  • an argument that they'd have to work really hard to convince their audience
  • an argument that may not be complex enough to get 4-5 pages out of.
and then give one or two sentences to explain why you rated it this way.

    Some issues that need to be solved
    The scheduling process at this school since the start has been taxing. Twice now registration has been out of my control because many students get some type of priority over me for whatever reason they may have. Twice now my schedule is not to my specifications. A problem I will now identify is the class registration and availabilities. Everyone who isn’t a priority is affected by this. The freshmen especially have to suffer and they are the ones who are new to it. Students will go on in infinity to bad scheduling if the issue is not resolved. I propose that more classes are created at more flexible times, this can be achieved by hiring more professors to accommodate slots or times that all students can benefit from .
