My major is business
finance and corporate management
My personal background :
i study at chabot college for 3 years and then go to Cal State East Bay since
2012.
My teacher requirements
In week two you wrote about the type
of writing you do in your major. All
majors have their own jargon, preferred genres, and understandings of how
writing functions within the major. The
first essay (WP1) asks you to consider how you developed
literacy in your major and whether or not you would recommend your approach to
others.
In a literacy narrative essay of 1,000 words, explain how you developed literacy
within your major. You might talk
about how you prepared for your intended major as a transfer student and how
that experience compares to the work you are now doing in your major. You could discuss
the differences between required and elective classes within your major and how
they contribute to your developing literacy in your major. These are just a
few possible approaches to the assignment.
Delayed thesis:
Toward the end of your essay, but before
your conclusion, please make an argument in favor or against your approach for
developing literacy within your major; this will be your thesis. You may also make
an argument in favor of some of what you did and against other parts of what
you did. You
will need to support your argument with reasons. In
the thesis folder of the course materials for this week you will find
suggestions about how to create a thesis. But
I will offer a model in the course materials that you can use as well.
I am not asking you to
be an expert on your major. I do want you to consider, however, how you developed literacy
within your major and whether or not, or to what degree you think your approach
is effective and beneficial to other students.
For your essay you will
need to use two, and only two, sources to illustrate how you developed
literacy within your major. You may use sources such as class texts, lecture notes, online
journals, department Websites, and the like. The sources you use must
be sources you used in one or more of your classes within your major, including
sources you found on your own that helped you do work for a specific class in
your major. Please feel free to review the quotation analysis model, which
will serve you well when you analyze the sources you use.
You will need to create
a works cited or references page for your essay, depending on whether you are
using MLA or APA format.
Your essay, including your first
draft, must be 1,000 words in length and follow MLA or APA formatting
requirements, which includes being double-spaced. Please note that some of the
formatting may be lost when you post your work for your peer review in 3b,
which is not a problem at this point. Later,
when working on your final draft, you will want to ensure that you adhered to
all the formatting requirements, and you will need to review your final draft
to ensure that you have used either MLA or APA formatting correctly. Please remember to
include a Works Cited or References page and only use only two sources.
You will need to submit your final
version of your essay to Turnitin and obtain a Turnitin Originality Report for
this essay at the end of the quarter.
