Suggested Topics-
College
tuition is increasing. Provide a cost/benefit analysis describing your
own decision to pursue higher education. Explain, in detail, the
economic concept of opportunity cost as well as the opportunity cost of
continuing your education?
Using
the tools of microeconomics, analyze the effectiveness of a specific
gun control proposal (you must identify a valid, specific, gun control

taxation is “fair”? What economic arguments are made that it is fair or
unfair?

“Is
Wal-Mart good for America”? You may have heard or even watched movies
about such a topic. What are the economic and social advantages and
disadvantages you see associated with a Wal-Mart to your local area, and
to you as a consumer? Make sure that you consider the social and
economic effects on small businesses and worker’s wages in your

Sweatshops.

future retiree and to the nation?

the on-line dating markets (examples include EHarmony, OK Cupid,
Match.com) at improving the efficiency of meeting a significant other.

After viewing both of the videos, discuss your thoughts on the use of COMPSTAT. Does this program (and others like it) actually help in the investigation management of detective units an crime fighting and solving? What are the upsides of its use? What are the downsides of its use?

One of the toughest jobs that exists is that of a supervisor in a detective unit. Making certain each crime report/investigation is being adequately and thoroughly investigated, that your detectives are doing the work required and doing it well, and solving crimes is a job that gets little attention on television or in the movies.
Please watch the two short video links below. It is a news story examining the extensive and detailed supervision and accountability program known as COMPSTAT. COMPSTAT, as you may already know, originated with the New York Police Department many years ago and its us has grown across the United States in numerous mid-to-large sized cities.

Research Prospectus

Background: A prospectus is a document created to describe a major work that is forthcoming; its purpose is to inform and, hopefully, attract interest. As you begin to research, avail yourself of the resources provided in this module, such as the SCC Library’s Research Tutorials: https://libguides.scc.spokane.edu/tutorials/help (Links to an external site.)
Purpose: To demonstrate to your instructor that you 1) are conducting focused research at an academic level 2) are able to articulate significant information about your topic, including problems and specific detail 3) have gathered scholarly and professional resources, and 4) you can follow MLA format for documentation of sources.
Task: Create a Research Prospectus according to the attached document: 102 Research Prospectus Assignment W22-R1.docx Download 102 Research Prospectus Assignment W22-R1.docx
Submit your prospectus to this assignment as a Word document by the due date. Your prospectus will contain the following information (directions are on the above-attached document):
A description of your overarching research problem or the question that you are addressing at this point in your research process. This will likely have shifted from your original research question.
A claim about why your topic is significant or relevant.
An explanation of how far along you are in your thinking and research; what more you expect to discover; as well as a possible working thesis statement.
A working Works Cited of at least five sources you are currently considering along with a brief annotation for each source that offers a general idea about the information you’ve already gleaned from that source.
Additional Notes:
Keep in mind that the work you are doing now will be used in upcoming assignments, such as the Annotated Bib.
Here is a link to my Padlet example: https://padlet.com/kathryn_mckenna2/3oamo7fpqmna (Links to an external site.)
Skills you will develop and practice completing this assignment: 1) Demonstrate ability to analyze information needs along a line of inquiry, 2) Demonstrate ability to evaluate source information, 3) Demonstrate ability to analyze how multiple texts fit into a conversation, 4) Demonstrate ability to create a text for a specific rhetorical purpose: prospectus.

the feedback for the privacy assignment
I can see that you have offered this topic thought, but I am confused about the research question. What, specifically, are you asking? The objective and summary offer some specifics (such as Facebook), but again, there are some clarity issues. Work on clearly stating ideas.

As you move forward, it will be useful to work with a librarian in order to identify the best databases for your specific topic as well as to develop search terms likely to be the most fruitful in those databases. Keep in mind that the majority of sources must be scholarly/academic and be found using the SCC Library databases. and I upload privacy assignments too.

The opening of a Dominican restaurant

I want to start this post off with saying that there is no creative freedom in this project. You are creating a business plan, fully in MLA Format (8th edition). I don’t want to see color, photos, or funky font anywhere in this project, other than maybe in the marketing portion where you are being asked to design something for the business. I will be firm on this. DO NOT submit anything to me via e-mail, I will not grade it. Do not deviate from MLA format, or I will deduct points. I want to see a title page, table of content and an executive summary, as specified in one of the assignments. I also want to see a fully MLA formatted works cited page. This is a non negotiable. Make an effort, do the work. I want to see page numbers and your last name on EVERY page. I want to see page numbers in the table of contents. Do not take this part of the assignment lightly, I will deduct points for not following proper formatting.

Short Story Comparison

Your essay should do both, but it may emphasize one over the other. Your thesis should provide your interpretation of how each text handles a specific thematic topic of your choice. What do you think each story communicates about the thematic topic? How is the thematic topic represented in similar and different ways in each story? Your body paragraphs should examine other elements of fiction (plot, characters, point of view, setting, symbolism, figurative language, and/or style) as evidence to support your interpretation of the theme. You are expected to use direct quotes and examples from the literature. You should use a clear structure that remains consistent throughout the paper; choose either the block method or the point-by-point method of organization.

This paper should not include any outside research

Rhetorical Appeals Analysis

Write one paragraph considering the advertisement rhetorically by answering these questions: How does the advertisement logically (logos) sell the product to the consumer?

Please include a link to the advertisement in your post. Make sure to review the Readings and Resources on the use of the rhetorical appeals in the unit.
