Introduction to learning -content– Compensatory Assignment for missed or partial missed workshopTitle of Module: ECS105 Introduction to Learning Compensatory Assignment: Essay Word Count: 1,000 wordsThe importance of attendance at the regularly scheduled workshops associated with the various modules with in this blended learning programme cannot be understated. At the workshops students receive a review of key points in the module, are presented with additional learning opportunities, work in groups, sharing experiences and knowledge. They also have opportunities to seek clarification on any aspects of the module of which they are unsure and receive further direction with regards to assessment strategies for each module.Missing a workshop, or part thereof, means students have missed valuable learning opportunities. Therefore, any ‘make-up assignment’ must take into account the entirety of what students have missed and the need for them to demonstrate that they have undertaken such learning independently. Please note: students are permitted to miss one workshop session, completing one compensatory assignment, per academic year. A second missed workshop will result in student not achieving the criteria necessary to complete their current academic year.Compensatory Assignment: With reference to the Introduction to Learning module handbook, evaluate and discuss how applying the ‘PEAR’ model of writing paragraphs (NUI Galway, 2015, p. 107) may strengthen an argument within an academic essay.

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin -content– Read The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and write a short response paper about gender spaces during that time. This paper should be no more than 1,000 words (3-4 pages) and should follow the basic essay format of an introduction (with an argument), body, and a conclusion (critical response to the validity of the work). The only source used should only be the book! Introduction: In the introduction you can summarize the book. Try to keep this to about five to seven sentences or half of a paragraph. At the end of the paragraph you need to formulate an argument that engages with the question. For example, in this paper I’m going to examine how Franklin’s book/work looks at male and females spaces by analyzing the work place, family relationships or family life and education. Next, in the body, you should have a paragraph that looks at the work place, family, and education…and the evidence should be about looking at gender…male and females spaces.Need to give me concrete examples from the book. In the conclusion,be critical of the book. What does that mean? It means that I don’t want a traditional conclusion that summarize what you just said. What I want is for you to be critical of the book as a historical source. I’m NOT looking for you to be critical of the book’s ideas, but critical of the book itself. For example: (YOU CAN’T USE THIS ONE) Franklin’s work is important in understanding early British North American life and should be considered a worthy source. However, one of the problems with Franklin’s work that we must be cautious about is the audience. In the opening page he tells the reader that the audience of the book is his son. The fact that he wrote the book for his son might mean that he inflated or exaggerated the content or at times took liberties to make himself look better in a give situation. For example: you need to give me an example in the book. Also, Franklin might have not mentioned certain events that made him look bad or affected his wife negatively because he didn’t want his son to know this information. For example, history has told us that Franklin was quite the ladies man and wasn’t always true to his marriage. You can also have a positive critique. Franklin writes well and I found the work spell binding and couldn’t put it down. The story that really pulled me in was his explanation of the Junto or reading group. How exciting that books were important status symbol in early colonial society. So, if you are critiquing the ideas, like this book shows that women were treated poorly or summarizing what you just wrote, then you are not producing what I’m looking for.

Directions Your Topic You may choose any topic that you would like to know more about. However, if you choose a topic from the textbook, make sure that you provide a lot of different information from that included by the author. If you happen to choose the same topic as one of your colleagues, the information/format should be significantly different. Possible topics (though you are not limited to these) include: • Cri-du-Chat (also known as 5p Minus) • Angleman Syndrome • Spina Bifida or other neural tube defects • Tourette’s Syndrome • Turner’s Syndrome • Prader Willi Syndrome • Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Effect • Failure to Thrive (FTT) • Mendelian traits Look in the appendix of your text and you will see many more. Resources You will want to use the ASU library in order to access peer-reviewed journals. I have a help sheet online that shows you how to do this. You may also use information on Web pages (on a limited basis); because many times the particular syndrome/disability will have its own organization and/or Web site. You MUST, however, have some peer-reviewed journals included. If you find that there are not any or you are unable to access them, then you need to choose another topic. Requirements: 1. Your paper should be written in APA 6th (or latest edition) Style. This means your paper must be double spaced, use Times New Roman 12 point font and have 1-inch margins. The following Web sites will help you if you are unfamiliar with the format: http://webster.commnet.edu/apa/ http://www3.wooster.edu/psychology/apacrib/apacrib.html http://www.lib.umd.edu/guides/citing_apa.html You will lose points for not following stated requirements. 2. You must have a minimum of five citations from referred journals (or books written on the subject). a. If you use the ASU online journal as outlined for you, these will be referred journals. b. Journals should include at least three references from the year 2007 or after. 3. You may use Web sites, but make sure that you cite correctly according to APA style. 4. Paper should be a minimum of seven pages not including bibliography/reference page(s). 5. Include an introduction and conclusion paragraph for your paper. For maxium points, adhere to rubric. 6. You must have a reference page. Per APA style, make sure any reference that is listed on the reference page is cited within the paper and vice-versa. 7. Whatever statements are within your research paper should have a citation from where you got your information. See APA on how to do this. Do NOT pull all of your information from one major source. Have several different sources that are equally represented. 8. Assignment will be submitted via Safe Assign. Remember, you should not have more than a sentence, or some say more than five consecutive words, that are pulled from someone else’s work without putting in quotes (See APA guidelines). The best way to avoid this is to read the information, then put it down and write what you want to say from it. This assignment is due in Session 7.
