Scenario

Scenario 1: Chloe Smith is editor of the Rocky High School Rattler. The Rattler is a school sponsored newspaper published monthly. Content is approved by the faculty sponsor. School board policy defines the school principal as final arbiter when disputes occur between the faculty sponsor and the student editor over content. With the help of her mother, Chloe wrote an editorial arguing the cheerleader tryouts were not conducted fairly. The editorial includes evidence to support Chloe’s point of view. The faculty sponsor refused permission to publish the editorial. Chloe and her mother appeal to the principal. In addition, Chloe’s mother requests to see all student scores who tried out and the written comments of the judges. What are the principal’s best actions and what U.S. Supreme Court cases are most applicable to respond to address this situation?

Week -6 research question

(line 1) When I was bathing, I found a hard spot in my breast. I think my heart stopped and I (line 2) began sobbing. I felt as if I was dying and I started crying [participant has tears in her eyes]. (line 3) Finally, I told myself that it could be nothing and made myself finish bathing. It was late at night so I (line 4) knew that if I called the doctor’s office, there would be no answer. So, I waited…that was a (line 5) miserable night. My husband was gone and I was all alone…..except for God. I fell asleep praying to (line 6) God that what I had found would end up being nothing. I woke up the next morning, feeling like (line 7) I had been beaten because I hurt in every part of my body…where my heart was supposed to be (line 8) [participant places hand over her heart] felt like a big hole. I called the doctor’s office at 8 am (line 9) and told the person who answered that I had to see the doctor. She said I could have an (line 10) appointment in 2 weeks. I told her that I had found a lump and I thought I would go mad if I had to wait (line 11) 2 weeks. She put me on hold and went to see what could be done. I sat and prayed and waited. (line 12) When she came back on the line, she said that the nurse practitioner would see me at 11 am. (line 13) I hung up and realized that it was Monday and I was supposed to be at work. I called the (line 14) office and told the manager that I had an emergency and could not come in today. I could not (line 15) bring myself to say what the emergency was….I was not ready for anyone to know. If someone (line 16) else knew, it might be real and I wanted it all to be a bad dream that would be over soon. (line 17) I don’t remember what I did until 10 am when it was time to leave for the doctor’s clinic. I (line 18) arrived early and sat in the waiting room turning the pages of a magazine….it must have been (line 19) an hour before the nurse came to the waiting room and called my name. (line 20) I sat down in the exam room and began to cry. The nurse practitioner had not come in (line 21) yet….she was surprised to see me crying when she opened my door. The first words out of my (line 22) mouth were that my mother had died last year from breast cancer and I found a lump in my (line 23) breast. The next thing I remember I was being given a sedative. The nurse had gotten the (line 24) number of a friend from my telephone and called my friend to come to the doctor’s office to pick (line 25) me up. I knew the friend I told them to call was a kind soul and she would not ask a lot of (line 26) questions but drop what she was doing to come. (line 27) The doctor came in when I was drifting in and out of sleep on the table. My breast was (line 28) uncovered and the nurse had washed and washed it to get it all ready. I could not hold my eyes (line 29) open….I was so sleepy…but I wanted her to cover my breast. I felt naked and did not want (line 30) everyone coming in and out to see my breast. I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up, (line 31) there was a bandage on my breast and it hurt so bad. The nurse said I could go…..my friend was (line 32) here to take me home…I could not think…and she helped me up and led me to where my friend (line 33) was waiting…I had tears running down my face….I could not seem to stop crying. My friend (line 34) took my hand and led me to her car….just then I realized I drove my car and had no way of (line 35) getting it home. She said not to worry…she would take care of it. (line 36) At home, my friend asked if I had called my husband…I started crying again….how would I (line 37) ever tell him…I did not even know the diagnosis yet. I knew he would be so worried and rush (line 38) home…but we needed his job. I said I would wait until I knew something…then I thought how (line 39) mad my husband would be that I had not called. But I knew he would worry and be driving (line 40) home all worried and might get in a crash…I would never be able to stand that. (line 41) The medicine the doctor gave me was very strong and all I wanted to do was sleep. I (line 42) woke up and it was dark in my room and my husband was sitting on my bed. I asked him how he got (line 43) there and he said my friend had called and said I needed him…I started crying again…I thought (line 44) all my tears were gone but they kept coming…(line 45) I must have fallen asleep again because I woke up when the telephone rang. My husband (line 46) answered and handed the phone to me. It was the doctor. He tried to be nice but I knew it was (line 47) bad news….he said I should come in the morning to the hospital so they could run some more (line 48) tests…I was glad for the medicine the doctor gave me for pain…I hung up and took another pill. (line 49) I was too tired to think and just wanted to cry.

A view into Academic Integrity:

            This paper focuses on the details of Academic Integrity as well as the importance it provides not only to students in college, but also to everyone’s mentality and growth towards knowledge gain and enhancement of one’s career. Some key points that will be talked about is different definitions for academic integrity and examples of what would be the opposite. The essay will also be touching on the idea of the responsibility put on students in order to do the right thing. Examples of what would be considered cheating and how it would affect both parties involved with it is also mentioned. In some parts I will be providing personal thoughts and anecdotes as well.

           The video categorized as Video 1 is titled “Think Integrity: What is Academic Integrity”. It features students being asked the question of what they think is academic integrity. One girl, for example, explains academic integrity as “honesty in your academics” which is pretty spot on. Key words that I kept hearing were honesty and morality. Some examples of what cheating is to them would be using someone else’s ideas in a paper, getting answers from each other, stealing homework, and much more. I assume that teachers made this video and recorded some of their students in order to raise awareness to the community that being dishonest is not acceptable.
           The video categorized as Video 2 is from the same University, called Macewan University, and focuses on student responsibility regarding academic integrity. One of the key responsibilities of being a student is to be informed about policies and following these policies into their academic life. This also includes refraining from making other students break the rules. They also offered ways in which you can prove you weren’t dishonest if you were falsely accused. This happened to me once in Middle School where I was falsely accused of copying a paper and it turned out that I didn’t copy anything, there was just a fault in the document I used that made it look like it was plagiarized.
           Lastly, the third video is not from the University the other two videos were made from. The title of this video is “A Message of Academic Integrity: Intellectual Theft”. The difference of this video and the other ones is that this was made by a student, not a teacher. They also used the method of storytelling in order to further prove their point, while the other two videos decided on just asking 5-6 students what their opinion was on academic integrity. The story shows a student who is unorganized. He has messy hair and desk, he overslept, procrastinated his assignments, has a C in the class, and has junk food mixed with his papers. On the other hand we have a student with all her books opened next to her in an organized way and an apple and banana next to her. Compared to the other student, this one actually has time to spare rather than procrastinating her assignments. Afterwards we see the unorganized student literally steal the other student’s paper from her hand and run away. Even though this is a very exaggerated version of what actually happens, it’s not wrong. By showing this scene, the students wanted to preface the fact that stealing ideas without giving them proper credit is not morally correct.

            One of the issues of academic integrity mentioned in the videos is why it is important in this video to be academically honest. A good way of seeing this is by putting yourself in the shoes of someone who actually put in the hard work into an essay, only for you to use that hard work for your own gain. Not only did you hurt that other person by copying their ideas, but you also gained nothing from it.
            That’s when you have to think why you are in school and what you are doing it for. If you don’t do anything of the work you are supposed to do, then how are you gaining any knowledge from the classes that you are paying for? This is why so many people, when they graduate, are not capable of doing the job that they are supposed to do based on their career. It’s because, since they didn’t learn anything, they aren’t capable or just don’t have the skills to do what they are asked.

            The second issue I found to bring my attention was ignorance. Students should not be ignorant of the rules since they will be punished regardless of whether they knew or not that what they were doing was wrong. They are responsible of knowing the policies that the school provides in order to maintain order.
            Additionally, if you know the rules, then you can act accordingly for you are falsely accused of doing something you know you didn’t do.

            Another issue seen in the videos regarding academic integrity is not allowing others to violate the policies. I feel like they failed to mention that applies also to when you see others cheating. When you see other cheating, you should intervene and stop them. It’s not okay to just continue with your day.
            It’s similar to when you are walking in the street and you see someone steal someone’s purse. Do you walk away, or do you help the person?
We all want to be exemplar students but fail to see that when you see someone doing the wrong thing, people look away and mind their own business.

            Some of the relevant lessons that I learned from these videos are similar to the issues. One of the lessons is that when you refrain from helping other students attempt to violate a policy, you are refraining from being dishonest. However, I feel like they should also add that not doing anything about it is also somewhat dishonest.
            There’s a huge issue with this because students don’t want to be excluded by their peers just because they told the teacher he saw cheating in front of them. No one wants to be bullied for being the teacher’s pet, which is something that happens a lot. One way to avoid this is maybe doing an anonymous submission.

            Another lesson is that submitting someone else’s work as one’s own work is theft of ideas. The lesson here is that stealing something that’s another person’s property is not morally correct. Something we should have in mind is the other persons hard work and how much time they put into their creations. Taking advantage of that doesn’t make us any good and doesn’t benefit anyone.
            As an artist, I see a lot of people post their creations that they saw from another artist. Even posts in Tik Tok are exactly the same, the only difference is the person presenting their jokes, art, or information. People then get mad because they want people to know it was them who thought of the idea.

           Something we should also all have in mind is that being an intellectual theft doesn’t only mean that you are copying word for word someone else’s essay. It can also mean that you are just changing some key words and phrases in order to make it look like it’s original.
           Some people manage to get away with this, but the problem with doing this is that you aren’t able to evoke into your work your own personal thoughts and opinions and y9our point of view on the matter you are talking about.

          Overall, I think this is a morally difficult concept to talk about since students aren’t the only ones who struggle with integrity. It is taught to us that we should be academically honest, however, is anyone really honest. I know a lot of people who have gotten very successful by cheating. It is ethically and morally correct? Absolutely not. However, has it happened numerous times in history? Yes. What we have to ask ourselves is, “who do we want to be and how do we want to get there”. We all have a choice to make.

2. Make three graphs for the indicators of climate change (temperature, sea level, and Annual Greenhouse Gas Index) and paste them in the “Results” section of your report.

The instructions for making these graphs and their websites are on pages 5 and 6 of the attached “Instructions in Detail” document.

3. Complete the “Quantitative Component” which are a few Math questions found in the attached “Quantitative Component” document and paste it into the “Quantitative” section of your report.

4. Add a picture showing participation in at least one sustainable activity this semester (e.g., recycling) to the “Experimental” section of your report.

5. Add a screenshot of your GLOBE Clouds home page to the “Experimental” section of your report. You need at least one clouds observation this semester.

6. Write a 700 to 1,500-word paper (project report) in APA style describing what the greenhouse effect is and how human activity contributes to it. The “Project Report Outline” document has the template you need to complete this report.

Note: the greenhouse effect occurs when gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere trap heat that would otherwise escape to space. This warms the planet. 

Prompt 14

For Prompt 14, I’d like us to consider how artists are often inspired by other artists.  Let’s face it; at times, our creative wells can seem pretty dry.  When you want to create but your ideas don’t inspire you, why not turn to other artists?

Consider the painting below. Pieter Bruegel, the Dutch master, created his Landscape with the Fall of Icarus in about 1560, and his subject is the Greek myth of Icarus.  (If you’ll remember, Icarus and his father, Daedalus, were attempting to escape Crete by flying with wings made of wax and feathers.  The boy’s father warned him not to fly too close to sun, because the heat would melt the wax wings.  Of course, Icarus, in a bout of hubris, ignored his father, flew too close to the sun, and fell to his death in the ocean.)  Bruegel’s version of the myth is set in his contemporary times.  Check it out.  Can you spot Icarus?

This painting (and others by Bruegel) inspired many artists.  In the 20th century, both W.H. Auden and Williams Carlos Williams wrote poems with Bruegel’s Icarus in mind.  Here they are: 

Musee des Beaux Arts

W.H. Auden

About suffering they were never wrong,
The old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position: how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer’s horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.

In Breughel’s Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water, and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.

Landscape with the Fall of Icarus

William Carlos Williams, 1883 – 1963

According to Brueghel

when Icarus fell

it was spring

a farmer was ploughing

his field

the whole pageantry

of the year was

awake tingling

near

the edge of the sea

concerned

with itself

sweating in the sun

that melted

the wings’ wax

unsignificantly

off the coast

there was

a splash quite unnoticed

this was

Icarus drowning

I’m amazed that both poets were looking at the same painting, but how different their poems are from each other!  For Prompt 14, I’d like us all to take some time to truly observe the image below.  Go beyond simply looking at the details (although they are important), and try to engage with the feeling of the image.  What emotions was the artist George Tooker attempting to evoke?  What is the tone?  After closely observing the painting, create a poem or a story inspired by it.  Don’t simply tell the reader what you see.  Use Tooker’s art to inspire a piece by you.  (Remember to respond to at least one peer’s piece.)  Go

500words

Part 1: Ethical Question

  • Begin this task by viewing the list of approved ethical topics and questions provided in the Week 1 Announcement titled: “Written Assignment Ethical Topics and Questions List.” Take some time looking over the list and browsing through some of the material in the corresponding chapters of the textbook in which each topic is addressed and decide which to focus on.
  • Once you have done this, choose one of the ethical questions associated with that topic. If you wish to do so, you may formulate your own ethical question, but it must be on one of the topics listed in the announcement. Be sure to carefully study the provided questions and model your own question after them in terms of specificity and ethical focus.”

Place the ethical question under the Part 1: Ethical Question heading 

Part 2: Introduction

Explain its relevance and importance.

  • Define any key terms and concepts.
  • Provide any relevant context and background information.
  • Briefly reference an idea, quote, or analysis of the issue that you have found in one of the required resources on the topic.  Required resources include the textbook chapter focused on that topic (6, 7, 8, 9, or 10), the “Primary Sources” listed at the end of Chapters 6-9, and the “readings listed under “Further Reading” at the end of each section in Chapter 10.

Part 3: Position Statement

A position statement is a one sentence statement that articulates your position on the issue and directly answers the question you have raised. For example, if the question was, “What is a physician’s obligation with respect to telling the truth to his or her patients?” a position statement might be “A physician may never directly lie to a patient, but it may be moral for a physician to withhold information if the physician reasonably believes doing so directly benefits the patient.” A different position statement might be: “A physician may use any means necessary, including lying to a patient, if the physician believes that will produce the best overall results.” However, the following statement would not be a sufficient position statement: “A physician must always respect the rights of his or her patients.” The reason this is not a sufficient position statement is that it does not directly answer the question concerning truth telling.

  • Think of the position statement as the strongest claim you would make if you were a prosecuting attorney making your opening statement to a jury, where you want to state precisely and directly the position you want them to believe.

Part 4: Reasons in Support of Your Position

Now that you have articulated a position on the issue, write a short paragraph—just a few sentences—that presents and explains one or two of the strongest reasons in support of your position statement.

  • You want your supporting reason to explain why someone should support the position you are taking on the ethical question. A supporting reason is a consideration that helps to show why your position is stronger than another position.
  • One way to approach this is to imagine yourself in friendly conversation with someone who does not necessarily agree with your position (perhaps they disagree, or perhaps they are undecided). When you state your position, they might ask why you think that; the kind of response you would give is a supporting reason.
  • Supporting reasons can include many things including, but not limited to: an appeal to moral principles such as duty, justice, fairness and equality; the positive or negative effects of certain actions on policies; or a summary of facts, statistics or evidence and an explanation of how they support your view.

Place the supporting reason(s) under the Part 4: Reasons in Support of Your Position heading.

Part 5: Opposing Position Statement

Now that you have provided reasons to support your position statement, in this section you will take a step back from all of that and articulate a statement that expresses an opposing or contrary statement.

  • Think of the opposing position statement as the strongest claim you would make if you were the defense attorney making your opening statement to the jury immediately after they have heard the prosecutor’s statement.

Place the opposing position statement under the Part 5: Opposing Position Statement heading.

Part 6: Reasons in Support of the Opposing Position

In this section, write a short paragraph—just a few sentences—that presents and explains one or two of the strongest reasons in support of the opposing position statement.

  • A strong opposing reason is a reason anyone would need to consider, even if they do not agree with the opposing position.
  • In other words, do not simply contradict claims that you make in Part 4, especially factual claims! You should strive to identify and articulate considerations in support of the opposing position that you think are accurate and true, or at least plausible, even if you still believe your own position has the most support overall.
  • If the reason(s) in support of the opposing position are ones you consider obviously false or indefensible, you should look for better reasons.
  • Put yourself in the position of a defense attorney who has to make the best possible case to the jury in defense of his or her client.

Place the opposing reasons under the Part 6: Reasons in Support of the Opposing Position heading,

  • Identify the ethical question.
  • Introduce the topic and question.
  • Formulate a position statement.
  • Explain the strongest reasons in support of the position statement.
  • Formulate an opposing position statement.
  • Explain the strongest reasons in support of the opposing position statement.

ENG 102 Research Paper Final Outline

 

In this assignment, you will finalize the outline and submit it for your instructor’s evaluation.

As you learned in the module notes and in your reading, an outline is the foundation of the research paper. Start with the outline you workshopped in discussion this week. Then, add to and/or revise the outline based on the feedback you received in discussion.

As you develop your outline, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What are the key points that support my thesis statement?
  • What primary supporting details should I add to develop these key points?
  • Are there supplemental/secondary points that will further strengthen my statement?
  • What kind of organizational plan will I use for my essay?

Your assignment is to develop a detailed outline for your research paper. Your outline should be focused on your thesis and should include your thesis statement in the outline of your introduction.

At a minimum, your topic sentences should be written in complete sentences. In the body of your outline, you should develop your points to at least a second level of detail. This means, in addition to outlining the main points that support your thesis, you will need to add sub-points for those points. These are not required to be written in complete sentences at this time, but you should include as much detail as possible at this stage of the writing process; it only serves to make the drafting phase easier. Be sure to cite any sources you use to develop your outline.
