This class focuses on academic research and writing. I have taught this class 26 times at ASU, and my students continue to amaze me with unique topics, strong writing, and excellent research. I hope this session will bring more of that. The goal of this class is to introduce you to the rigors of writing and research at the University level, preparing you to excel at writing tasks you will receive in your future classes. For that reason I have designed a sequence of Activities, Writer’s Journals, Annotated Bibliographies, andPapers that will help challenge you to research and write in topics in your field. Because this is a class that will prepare you to write at the University, I will expect your research to come from scholarly sources accessed through the ASU library. If this were a class on writing web pages, popular magazine articles, or newspaper articles, I would ask you to gather source materials from those types of publications. But this is an academic writing class and I therefore expect academic source material. This is a key skill that will set you apart from other students when you get into your upper division coursework, and I want you to succeed no matter what writing and research tasks come your way.For that reason, the course is divided into a sequence of 2 sets of 2 linked assignments. The first set of assignments asks you to pick a policy, program, or law in your field. The second set of assignments asks you to pick a specific problem in your field. Please start thinking about these two topics now, and pay attention to readings and lectures in your major classes for policies and problems that would be unique and interesting to research and write about. The sequence of linked assignments includes Research and Writing. First you will gather 10 scholarly sources on your topic, analyzing them in an Annotated Bibliography. Then you will write an academic argument paper using the sources you gathered in your Bibliography. This week you will complete brainstorming work in your Writer’s Journal to prepare for Paper 1 (an Annotated Bibliography), and we will complete Activities that show the difference between popular and scholarly sources, and how to research using the ASU library. To supplement that work you are required to read Chapter 1 Everything is an Argument, Chapter 20 Intellectual Property, Assignment for Paper 1, Assignment for Paper 2. Please note that Papers 1 & 2 are tied together and will cover the same topic, so let’s make sure you pick a good one. You should read both Assignments so that you understand how the topic
