business finance and corporate management



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.
