The 20th-century political philosopher Leo Strauss called Machiavelli “a teacher of evil.” Based on your reading of Machiavelli’s Discourses, do you agree with this judgment? Why or why not?

Instructions are uploaded (titled POG 235- paper 2)
only required to use class readings as a source but i also wanted to refer to either the source i attached below (evil teachings w/o remorse) or other scholarly/peer-reviewed sources that highlight why machiavelli was referred to as a “teacher of evil” and why i oppose.

Focusing specifically on Claude M. Steele’s conversation about stereotype threat, to what extent is stereotype threat costly, or dangerous for students in the classroom and college environment?

My name is Binh Gia Long
Course: Eng-1A

Questions for follow up (you don’t have to answer all of these, but you can use them to help you get ideas):
What are the different types of spaces in the college environment?
How do different spaces on a college campus impact students differently?
How does a student’s identity influence the way they’re treated in a specific space/environment?
Why do student’s change their behaviors in a space or environment?
How can we combat stereotype threats on college campuses?
Sources: You must use Claude M. Steele’s article, “Whistling Vivaldi and Beating Stereotypes.” AND 2-3 other sources from our class texts so far.

Overview
In this essay, I want you to use what we’ve read in class to help you critically analyze and reflect on how our environments and the ways we shape societies can impact our identities. Often, we think that we form our own identity, but we fail to see or critically think about how our identity has already been shaped by the way our surroundings impact us whether we agree or allow it. In your essay, you will apply key ideas/concepts from the unit two course material to help guide your analysis.
Steele, Claude M. “Whistling Vivaldi and Beating Stereotypes”
Rose, Mike. “I Just Want to Be Average”
Price, Devon. “Laziness Does Not Exist.”
Lahiri, Jhumpa “Rhode Island”
Mengestu, Dinaw “Home at Last”
Baratunde, Thurston. “How to Be Black”

Incorporating Sources
We’re going to practice our key critical skills in this essay: creating strong controlling ideas, focusing on body paragraph development and organization, and strong reasoning. As you prepare to put together your writing project: focus on incorporating at least 3 texts from our unit list (see criteria above).
To do this you’ll draw from a number of techniques, including quotes, paraphrases, and summaries (Please see the MLA In-Text Citations Download MLA In-Text Citations handout regarding quotes).

Requirements for the Writing Project

Explain what intrigued you about the poem and connect any personal experiences you can relate to the poem. In fact, connecting personal experiences with literature is enormously important because it not only increases our understanding of literary pieces but also improves our understanding and acceptance of our own worldly experiences. Your response should be 5-8 sentences in length.

Of the Gwendolyn Brooks’ poems featured this week, with which one did you most connect, and why?

(1) Explain what intrigued you about the poem and connect any personal experiences you can relate to the poem. In fact, connecting personal experiences with literature is enormously important because it not only increases our understanding of literary pieces but also improves our understanding and acceptance of our own worldly experiences. Your response should be 5-8 sentences in length.

(2) Explain at least 2 literary devices (simile, metaphor, allusion, alliteration, personification, etc.) and provide examples of them that the poet uses in the poem to help support the poem’s overall theme.

Create a scenario from your own experiences that can be used to model a probability question using permutations (note: multiple categories are required).

Question 1
Create a scenario from your own experiences that can be used to model a probability question using permutations (note: multiple categories are required). Solve your problem showing and explaining each step in the five step process outlined in the instructions..
Five Steps for a solution to a Probability Problem:

Step 1: Define the Experiment (note this is a description of the activity that is causing results.
Step 2: Describe the Sample Space (note: this can be done by explicitly listing elements in the sample space – which is unlikely or counting the elements providing n(S)). Are the outcomes in the Sample Space equally likely?
Step 3: Describe the Event of interest. When providing this description, include the mutually exclusive and exhaustive categories you are using, and phrase the Event in terms of those categories, integers along with the words: not/and/or
Step 4: Determine the number of elements in the Event
Step 5: Determine the probability of the Event (note: if the outcomes are equally likely, then we use the relative frequency formula:

American History 1865’s-2000’s

Students will answer the question below in at least five pages. Students will answer the following question using evidence from the class materials. The class materials consist of the textbook, video lectures, Canvas readings, and documentaries. No outsides sources should be used in the reflective essay.

Assess the period from 1865-2000. Many changes (political, social, and technological) happened during these years. What do you see as the major successes and failures during this time? Why? What are the major themes that stand out to you? Give specific examples.

Assignments should be turned in on time. A letter grade will be deducted for every day late. This includes weekends.
Students should use Turabian or Chicago Style citations. In other words, students should use footnote citations when citing sources.
The assignments will be double-spaced, be in Times New Roman, and use 12 point font.
Papers will be checked for plagiarism using Unicheck. The penalty for plagiarism is a zero on the paper.
