  • paper 2

    Explore a topic from unit 2 in a paper intended for an educated but non-specialist audience. You might think of this assignment as the first step in writing a full research paper, but instead of writing the actual paper, you’ll be going through the initial phases (conducting library research and analyzing/organizing your sources).

    The first step is to define your topic, write several research questions, and conduct library research to understand what others have said about these questions. In this research, you will also identify evidence you could use to take a position on your topic or identify gaps in the published literature that you or someone else should fill. As you read through your sources, analyze them much like we did in Paper 1 (audience, purpose, genre, and context) and keep track of where your sources are similar and where they are different. When you find sources that speak to one another through citation, wonderful, and these articles may be especially useful to you in understanding the topic and the wider context in which it exists.

    Keep in mind that you will need to search for sources multiple times, not just once, because good research is a process in which sources often lead you to new research questions or a series of new sources. There is no limit to the number of research questions you can pursue, though you should be careful not to expand your topic too much. You will likely find that there are at least two categories of sources: sources that make new or innovative arguments about your topic, and sources that fill in the context or review the background that might be relevant to a full study of your topic. Both of these are important kinds of sources, and both should be used in your paper. You may find many more sources than you’ll include in the paper itself, however, and some of the process of library research involves deciding which sources are most important to discuss and which ones are not.

    Details

    Your paper should be organized as follows (but do not use section headings). Your first section will function as an introduction (1-3 paragraphs): describe your topic, explain your research questions, and discuss the relevance of your topic (why is it important, who might care about it, and how actively are researchers and others writing about it.

    Your second section will be a presentation of your research, and you’ll lead us through your sources by summarizing them and explaining how they are part of the scholarly conversation: who is involved, what are they saying, and how do these voices relate to one another? Your analysis of the sources will be particularly helpful in this section.

    Your third section will function as an extended conclusion (1-3 paragraphs) in which you imagine the contours of a larger research paper that could be produced from your topic exploration. What are the positions that someone could take in this imaginary research paper, and do any of those positions seem particularly compelling to you? How would this imaginary research paper add to the existing scholarly conversation in your research sources? What additional research would be valuable for this imaginary research paper if time allowed? For example, would more research on adjacent topics be useful, or would you recommend primary research to collect new data, such as surveys, interviews, or observational studies?

    Format

    Your completed paper must be six to eight (6-8) pages long must incorporate at least six (6) relevant and valid research sources, including one of our course readings in Units 1 or 2. It should be double-spaced, with one-inch margins and a 12-point font. Quotes and paraphrases from your research sources must be cited in-text and listed at the end using MLA or APA. You may write in the first-person (using “”) and the style of your paper should be formal and academic. While you may describe aspects of your research process from a personal perspective, particularly in the introduction and conclusion, your main purpose in this paper is to present research and explore a topic, not to share stories or offer self-reflections about what did or did not go well.

    only start the 1st section and the 2nd for the peer review. and the source im using from the course is foer’s eating animals see document attached for his book and use the docs attached for sources. my topic for this paper is how factory processed meats cause diseases and how can’t we prevent it but label the tile of the paper Potential health risk of processed meats and disease prevention. also only use the sources i gave you for the peer review remeber your only doing some of the paper for the peer review to et a layout of the paper not the full paper

    PART 1

    AssignmentCollage Assignment

    Part I: Create a Collage (pasting flat materials with actual texture, like foil, yarn, sandpaper to a picture plane) or papier colle (pasting 2d papers with pattern to represent texture, like tickets, portions of newspapers, menus, photos, etc). You can create a collage with representational subject matter, like a landscape or figure, or it can be completely non-representational, just playing with the elements, like shapes and textures. Collage and Papier colle in art is created by fastening actual materials with textural interest to a flat working surface. These art forms may be used to simulate natural textures but are usually created for decorative purposes. Consider balance when applying the textures! 18 x 24

    Part II: Critique at least 2 other students collages within 24 hours of the due date by replying to their post using the vocabulary terms. Remember you can like posts too. Refer to the critique guide if necessary.

    PART 2

    Composition Exercises:

    1. Use cut black and white paper, ink, paint or sharpie so you have high contrast. Create a thumbnail composition of the following words with a non-objective simple shapes only:

    1. gravity(sense of pulling down weight),
    2. flying or lightweight,
    3. unstable,
    4. Anchored,
    5. fast,
    6. slow,
    7. hard,
    8. soft,
    9. trapped or confined,
    10. free/open space.

    2. Then create a second set for the same words using 2 or more non-objective shapes. You should finish with 20. Remember- Show me the essence of the words pertaining to that compositional space. DO NOT illustrate them.

    example

    Explanation on video:

    Here are some examples of objective abstraction, where they reduce an object to its bare essence.

    Constin Brancusi Bird in space:

    4. Make pencil rubbings (rubbing over things to create texture) all over the page then add lines, shapes, values, etc. to create a drawing from it.

  • Service Learning Project

    After completing this assignment, you will be able to:

  • (SLO#1) Evaluate the impact of individual choices on local and global communities by

    • assessing the impact of their proposed solution to a service learning assignment on the

    local environment. (GCP#1, MCOB).

  • (SLO#2) Communicate ideas and information to diverse audiences by communicating

    • their proposed solution to a service learning assignment and reflecting on the feedback

    received. (GCP#2, MCOB).

  • (SLO#5) Demonstrate an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities

    • (ERCE#6, MCOB)

    Following are the requirements for this assignment:

    The Service Learning Experience (SLE) requires you to provide service to a local non-profit

    organization. The SLE is a five-part process that includes investigating service opportunities,

    preparing for that opportunity through a preflection, planning your service intervention,

    performing your service, and reflecting on the experience. As per the syllabus, the use of

    generative AI tools is prohibited on this assignment.

  • Investigate

    • Investigate various local service (non-profit) organizations and select one. Service

    opportunities are available throughout the Tampa Bay region. Students must have the

    service organization they select approved by their instructor.

  • Plan

    • You must volunteer at a service organization that can utilize your business expertise and

    you must provide responses to a Preflection Paper. Your Preflection Paper should be 2-3

    double-spaced pages in length and must address each of the following 8 question:

    o What is service learning and social responsibility to you?

    o Which service organization did you select, and who is your contact (Name, title,

    address, and phone)?

    o Why did you select this service organization?

    o What needs within the community does the organization serve?

    o What groups/individuals does the organization serve and what other

    groups/individuals/communities could benefit from the types of services provided

    by this organization?

    o Does the organization have a mission and/or vision statement and if so what is it?

    2

    o What specific business expertise do you anticipate contributing/developing within

    the service organization?

    o What do you think you might learn from this project?

  • Action

    • Youll engage in meaningful and creative service that enhances learning and provides

    guided practice in social responsibility by engaging with a local non-profit organization

    of your choice that supports families, children, the disadvantaged, animals, the

    environment, etc., for roughly fifteen (15) hours of documented service during the

    semester. These documented hours can include on-site support, planning, meetings,

    research, preparation, training, reflection, etc., however, at least twelve (12) of these

    hours must be documented service hours. You must provide documentation of the service

    hours in the appendix to your Reflection journal.

  • Reflect

    • You must submit a 5-7 page Reflection Journal to Canvas under #GEA1 Service

    Learning – Preflection and Reflection by the due date in the syllabus. This Journal

    should also include your 2-3 page Preflection paper, the summary of your service hours,

    and two pictures of you performing the service at your service organization in an

    Appendix. Your Reflection should include what happened before, during, and after the

    Service Learning Experience. Each student must address the 8 questions below.

    o Initial Expectations: Describe your initial expectations relative to the reality of

    the service learning experience.

    o Disciplinary Skills to Apply: What specific disciplinary skills (i.e. skills learned

    in your major) have you used at your community site?

    o My Contribution: How did your contribution specifically supported the goals of

    the service organization and/or allowed you to make a difference in the

    community?

    o New Vision and Mission: Based on the knowledge gained in your service

    learning experience and concepts taught in this class (in Chapter 2) on developing

    a mission and vision, draft a new and improved mission and vision statement for

    the organization. You should include not only the new mission and vision but

    also an appropriate rationale for the mission and vision including elements of the

    organization as well as required elements needed in a well written mission and

    vision statement.

    o Share, Feedback, and Revision: Share the new mission and vision statement you

    created with at least two other people capable of giving you feedback on the

    soundness of your new mission and vision (fellow student, volunteer, or non-

    profit employee, etc.). After getting feedback from the first person, revise the

    mission and vision statements to accommodate the new ideas or suggestions. Do

    this again with the second person. Document the feedback received and how you

    revised the statements each time. In other words, you must complete two rounds

    of sharing and revising your mission and vision statement. Make sure you explain

    what advice you followed (and why) and what advice you felt didnt warrant

    changes (and why).

    3

    o Diversity Expansion: Based on your experience with the organization and in

    drafting the vision and mission explain how you might recommend that the

    organization expand the diversity of those it serves while achieving its mission.

    Identify diverse constituencies that might benefit from the organizations services

    or with whom it could collaborate to extend its mission.

    o Ethical Dilemmas: Based on your service learning experience, what ethical

    dilemmas do you think can arise in non-profit organizations?

    o Ethical Leader Requirements: What is required to be a good ethical leader in a

    non-profit organization?

  • Demonstrate

    • You will present your Reflection Journal to a diverse group of individuals by creating and

    submitting a 3-5 minute presentation of your Reflection Journal to Canvas under #GEA1

    Presentation – Service Learning Presentation. The presentation will be scored for oral

    communication for assessment purposes. Thus, at a minimum you should be clearly

    visible during the entire presentation and the video and audio should be of a reasonable

    quality. PowerPoint slides are optional in your video. The presentation should be a

    minimum of 3 minutes and maximum of 5 minutes in length. Given this short time frame

    you are really only going to be able to cover the highlights of your project. The nice

    thing is that since you are submitting a video recording (versus presenting live in class or

    online) you can have as many attempts as you want.

  • Formatting of Project

    • The entire project should be well-written, typed, and double spaced. You should also

    include a title page and table of contents which does NOT count towards the page

    requirements of the Report. Large amounts of copied or quoted material, project

    guideline questions, and adjusting settings in Word (like line spacing, margins, font size

    and/or type, word spacing, etc.) will also not count towards meeting the page

    requirements. You should use the questions in the Preflection as headings to clearly

    delineate your answers to each Preflection question. Similarly, you should use the 8

    bolded 2 to 5 word headings from the above guidelines to clearly delineate the different

    sections of your Reflection journal.

  • Project Recap

    • Based on the above guidelines, here is a recap of what is due for this assignment:

  • 2-3 page Preflection Paper (see bottom of page 1 and top of page 2 of guidelines)
  • 5-7 page Reflection Journal (see bottom of page 2 and top of page 3 of guidelines) –

    • please note the share, get feedback, and revise loop that needs to be completed twice

  • 3-5 minute Video Presentation (see middle of page 3 of guidelines)

    • I will set up submission links in Canvas for the project. Finally, please keep in mind that

    this is still a relatively new assignment for everyone including me and that there may be

    some hiccups along the way

  • Career Playbook

    This should be a fun and useful assignment to get you thinking about how you can intentionally approach your career to build the life you want.

    1. Page 1: Three guiding values (approximately 1/2 to 1 pages of text)
      1. Outline your top three professional values (or personal values if that guides your career decisions) and why they matter to you. Ive provided afrom Brene Brown that can help you. Please note that the worksheet has you identify two values, and Im asking you to list three.

    WORKBOOK #2

    Name & Student ID # : __________________________________________________________

    Google Doc Link/URL: __________________________________________________________

    Workbooks provide opportunities to relate course materials to media, experiences, and empirical works in a personal/reflective manner. Full credit responses meet length requirements, adhere to format/citation rules, and sufficiently address every component of each prompt while citing 2 concepts or quotes from assigned materials. A typical paragraph includes 5-8 sentences. These specifications express the minimum expected, but you will not be marked down for longer replies. Insights should be original, well thought out, and supported by materials. Responses can either be elaborated on in a short essay or as short answers which address each prompts components in bullet point format so long as each is at least 4 paragraphs long. Overall, Workbook #2 should come out to a total of 3 prompt responses, 12 paragraphs, and 6 cited concepts.

    When citing materials, only note the author(s), publication year, and relevant page numbers or resource details in the parentheses (i.e. Grazian, 2009, p.222). To cite any concept from a lecture, guide, or slides just include my surname, course number, and the resource or date. Examples: Plaek, 2026, SOC M162 Week #6 Guide; Plaek, 2026, SOC M162 Lecture 2-23-2026; or Plaek, 2026, SOC M162 Hookup Culture Recorded Lecture). You can apply any relevant concept from any week’s materials but do not reuse the same concepts. For example, do not cite halo effects” more than once. You may cite two different concepts from the same resource hence, you can define/apply “emerging adulthood and “principle of least interest” for prompt #3 even though both are drawn from the same resource (Ansari & Klinenberg, 2015). Cited materials are limited to content from slides, guides, recorded lectures, live meetings, and mandatory resources (handouts, readings, videos). Do not cite resources that were supplemental or not assigned. No cover page or References section are necessary.

    Every prompt must be initially and entirely written in a Google Doc. Make sure that our access is not restricted by clicking the blue share button (top right). In the “general access” dropdown either select anyone with the link or add me and your Grader in the “people with access” section. Do not delete any of your work until a final grade has been processed by the Registrar. Grade deductions and/or referrals to the Dean may result due to failure to complete all work in a Google Doc and/or if any portion appears to be AI generated, plagiarized, your own work submitted to another class, or insights that we already covered in class (thus not your own).

    Type responses directly into a Google Doc that is single-spaced while using a standard font and size. Pages should be numbered and contain 1-inch margins. List your name, student ID #, and the shareable link/URL for your Google Doc at the top followed by your response to each prompt. Directions & rubrics must be removed. Please view the example prompt response in Canvas to see how workbooks and citations should be structured.

    TOTAL POSSIBLE = 25 points

    -0.75 points will be deducted for each missing or incorrectly applied citation;

    -4.5 if there are no assigned course materials/concepts properly cited in all 3 prompts (6 total required)

    Unless there are documented/exigent circumstances, 3% (-0.75) will be subtracted from the overall score for each day its late. ***No coursework will be accepted beyond Friday 3/20 @ 11:59pm***
