I selected “writing”, but I do already have 2000~ words (linked as “Fisrt draft.pdf”) that can be re-written with feedback (linked as “direct feedback.pdf) I’ve been given so the actual thing to do is re-write 2000~ words using the feedback to see how far that gets you, and then write the remaining words to make up 3400 words~ not including the sources and title page, I used 10ish substantial sources so would like at least 3-4 more, which must be peer-reviewed, you should be able to find all the sourced I already used by their names in the citations of my paper.
I also provided directions.pdf which is a series of questions or directions on where you can take parts of paper
also, some of my ideas for viral ideas, and echo chambers are summarized well in the video by cgp grey: this video will make you angry
the whole thing is due next sunday, but I perfer it is done at least a few days earlier (hence the 5 day request)
In my feedback, it mentioned having a central idea/thesis statement, originally I’d put it in the wrong spot:
“Among the causes of culture war, it is this behavior of ideas in a medium that is least understood.” which I put in my abstract instead of a seperate introduction
I’m not married to that wording, so you can make a new thesis statement when, or use one of the sentences in the direction.pdf as one, as long as it jives well with the rest of the paper.
here is the direct wording of what is asked of me, (but dont do less then I asked in the request):
Your paper will be third person and grammatically correct in every way. This draft should reflect thought and effort and should be a step up from your first draft. Dig deeper. Set a timer and force yourself to discuss more in certain parts of your paper. You’ll be really surprised at how much more content and thought you can pull from your brain if you force yourself to write. Think about any other areas on your topic you can delve into. Polish it, make sure the sentences and paragraphs are well-constructed. Check for grammar. Read for flow. You’ve had an entire term to produce this paper, make it show. Reach out to me with any questions or problems along the way. I’m here, as always. And be proud of yourself! This is a huge accomplishment. minimum 9-12 pages (3000-4500 words REQUIRED) and 12-15 sources. These are MINIMUMS. The page number follows your chosen formatting style, MLA or APA. YOU MUST FOLLOW YOUR FORMATTING STYLE GUIDELINES EXACTLY. In addition, your sources must be peer reviewed. There are a ton of resources online for citation specifics, as I posted in the Announcement section, and as is in your book. OWL Purdue remains the best. Easybib and other sites are useful for creating your bibliography. Our book also lists many of these free, online resources. This implies 12 point font, 1 inch margins, double spaced, and appropriate paragraphs. **Your paper and overall grade will be significantly marked down if it does not adhere to MLA or APA guidelines.
finally, if there is anything else you need from me in order to complete this, i’ll try to respond quickly
