The Persuasive Essay Guide

Exam strategies by PurplePick

I use to hate exams.  And I did quite a few of them with two degrees from separate universities.  Don’t get me wrong.  I loved learning and still do.  But I hated exams.  I failed to see (and still do) how 2 or 3 hours of writing could determine my understanding of a topic.  I have messy slow writing (oh, my precious keyboard, I worship thee).  That made my exams 10% harder even before someone said ‘turnover your paper and start’.

I use to think that exams were a test of how well I could cram useless facts into my brain long enough to regurgitate them on paper.  Of course, these set of facts had to be quickly replaced by the next set of facts for another exam.  And I am not the only one to share that conclusion.  Steve Gillman wrote on his site that exams area a dreadful experience for every student. But essay exams are even more petrifying, terrifying, and nerve-racking. Unlike an objective test, essay exams are not checking to see if you have learned certain pieces of information, they ask for your understanding of the main concepts, ideas, and theories of the course presented in a smoothly written form. Quite an annoying combination.

And since essay exams are more demanding than the rest of exams you sit in your student’s life, they call for greater preparation. Here are some tips that will help you pass your essay type exams with flying colours.

1. Writing Identifications

Usually essay exams comprise of two tasks: writing the identification of a term and composing an essay. In both cases you must present your own knowledge on the topic and present it in correct and plain English.

Identifications are short essays that give precise definitions on the name or a term in a single paragraph of between three to five sentences. Make sure that your identifications have:

1. the names of the individuals involved in events;
2. their notable accomplishments;
3. a precise identification of the time frame for the identification;
4. the appropriate geographic reference relating to the term;
5. historical significance of the term identification.

With these features your identifications will be fully-developed, precise and smooth.

2. Taking the Essay Type Exam

When writing an essay type exam, it is advised to follow the set procedure of essay writing. It will help you organise your thoughts, tune for essay writing, and write a well-structured and well-thought essay.

So, first, look through the list of the questions you will need to answer in your essay. It is often advised to start with questions you can do readily. As you read, make tentative choices of the questions you will answer, and jot down the ideas that cross your mind.

Do not worry, if you don’t have a definite answer on some question. Focus on what you do know about the question, not on what you don’t. Postpone the question you feel dubious about, and the answer will come all by itself when you expect it the least.

Secondly, make sure you understand what you are asked to do in your essay. Try looking closely at what the question is directing you to do, and try to understand the sort of writing that is required. For example, “analyse” suggests summarising fully with detail in accordance with the selected focus, considering composing parts of the idea and their interrelationships.

Along with “analysing”, you may be asked to classify, define, discuss, illustrate, outline, etc. Be sure you know definitions of these words by heart. Otherwise, you may become flustered, lose concentration, and even go blank.

Once you have chosen the topic and know how to take your stand, write down at least three supporting sentences you are going to build your essay around. Make sure they are followed by convincing supporting evidence in form of quotations, facts and figures you came across in the course.

When writing essay answers, you should favour a direct, concise, and precise writing style. Do not waste time trying to compose a graceful lead paragraph, instead, get to the point quickly and directly. State what you intend to discuss and develop those ideas with well-chosen examples.

Finally, your conclusion paragraph should embrace no more than three sentences, in which you restate your thesis statement and summarise your essay and supporting evidence.

3. Other Hints for Your Essay Type Exam

Other than knowing the general principals of essay writing during the essay type exams, you also need to know some tricks in order to stay focused on the essay during the whole exam. Here they are:

• Keep track of time! Allow a set time period for each question, but keep in mind that a question worth 50% of the grade should probably take 50% of the allotted time;
• Take all the time you are allotted! Do not walk out of the exam room if you still have time on your hands. Instead, reread, rethink your answers. Use every advantage you are given!
• Don’t pad your answer with irrelevancies and repetitions just to fill up space. Within the time available, write comprehensive and specific answers.
• Ft is also advised to double-space. This way you will leave room for additions, and strike through errors or changes with one straight line
• Remember to keep things as clean as possible, for you never know what will earn you partial credit.

You may be sure that with these tips in mind you will know how to write an essay that: 1) demonstrates your knowledge of the subject; 2) has a theme clearly stated in the beginning; 3) recognises the central issue of the question; 4) has specific examples; 5) is not vague.  Moreover, these tips will help you turn scaring essay exams into stress-free and enjoyable process.

Lecture Recording by Meet The Media Guru

If I ask you to remember 50 points right now, how many will you remember the same time tomorrow?  How about in a week?  The human mind filters information in order to deal with its surroundings.  On average, you will only retain about 20% of what you hear after a few days.  For a university student, this can be catastrophic when studying for an exam.  Of course, they have lecture notes to fill in the gaps.  But the best way to remember information is to hear it first hand again.  The only way to do this is to record the lecture.

Lecture recording can be defined as the process of capturing the audio and visual components of a lecture, digitizing, storing, and distributing them. There exist two kinds of lecture recording – synchronous and asynchronous. Synchronous recording is when at the time of recording, the lecture is also broadcast live to its audience. Asynchronous recording, on the other hand, when the lecture is recorded, archived, and can only be accessed after the recording has been made.

Two main components make up the lecture recording process – hardware components and software components. The hardware must work in synergy with the software to provide an effective recording and broadcasting service to the audience.

The hardware component consists of the capture equipment, the server/repository, and the viewing equipment. Generally, the capture equipment consists of a microphone input, a video input, and a DVI/VGA frame grabber. Devices, such as the Lecture Recorder, capture these three analog signals, digitize them, and send them over the Internet or LAN to the server or repository. At the server, all three signals are synchronized and produced. Finally, viewers are able to connect to the server (usually via the Internet) and access any of the recordings made.

The software component makes up the software installed on the Lecture Recorder itself, the server, and the viewer’s computers. Modern techniques in OCR (optical character recognition), fast indexing, and video compression allow lecture recording platforms to contain many of the elements found in today’s Web 2.0 environment.

As such, lecture recording, while not completely replacing physical lecture attendance, is becoming a key tool and learning aid with students who need to review a lecture after they have attended it or if they missed it. Lecture Recorders make students’ lives easier, while at the same time creating an archive of all lectures for accountability and educational purposes.

Mistakes by Library Mistress

Writing a thesis is almost like participating in a marathon. Hard work, determination and vision are the key ingredients that will produce a good thesis. Effort is the only things many are afraid to invest while scripting one of your own. It is a gratifying and pleasurable experience for those who can put in that effort.

There will be a sense of total drain of thought when you end your thesis writing, but still a feeling of accomplishment will overrule them. Here are some of the common mistakes that people do while scripting their arguments. Make sure you deem them as guidelines and make your scripting hassle free.

Complex Subject Matter – It’s a commendable effort that you have chosen a topic that has a wide focus enormity. But it is not advisable to pick such topics. Choose a subject with a manageable size, and then focus on detailing it and presenting your point of view in a fair manner.

Basic Subject Matter – In order to not to go in for complex subject, it is not a great idea to choose on a basic subject. This will not make an impact on your committee. They will be bored to death while confronting such an argument.

Many Tangents – Make an organized and well informed thesis. Avoid talking about unnecessary topics that might just be an ancillary to the main subject. Strictly avoid building up stories about the same subject and limit their importance.

No progress or details – It serves to be as an important aspect to determine who you are professionally. Do pay attention to every word of it. Since your audience is an intelligent group, craft every word of your argument keeping them in mind. Say appropriate stuff only.

No supervision – Obtain proper knowledge and extracts from experts related to your subject of writing. They will provide you with unbelievable facts that will elevate your argument to a higher level.

Stolen Lectures – This ought to be that last things that you ever think of embarking on while you write one for yourself. It is unacceptable to introduce your professor’s notes into your thesis. You my start it as lecture topic but it should just serve as a beginning.

Citing Reviews – Ask your lecturer to help you find resources. He knows the best. Read up everything that he suggests and make them a basis for your writing.

Using Internet investigation – Internet is a storehouse of information. But it should not serve as your reliable source. It is a risk to depend on the World Wide Web.

Conversion of a Journal to thesis – Do not try to fool your committee. Knowledge is a sea but your discipline is not that big to be unheard of. Therefore stop acting smart.

Twitter Classroom by Florian

Is education keeping up with technology?  Twenty years ago, if a student was asked to write a persuasive essay, they would think of a topic, research their ideas in a book or journal from the library and type their assignment on a typewriter.  The world has changed significantly over the last two decades – has the delivery methods for education been able to keep up?

To answer this, Kisu Kuroneko looks at two reasons to bring Twitter into a classroom -

1. To study twitter itself as part of a media literacy unit, and

2.  To use twitter as a collaborative tool:

Examining Twitter in the Classroom

Social networking (web 2.0) is changing the way the world communicates. Consider the following real-life examples involving Twitter to stimulate media literacy discussions:

First of all, CNN reported a story on Steve Tucker, a wheat farmer from Nebraska who has more people following him on Twitter in his online community than people who live in his physical community. (They interviewed him using Video Skype.) He tweets using his cell phone from the middle of nowhere.

Secondly, Twitter and social networks are changing the way news gets reported. For example, people in Tehran were able to use their cell phones to tweet what was happening during the Iran election and subsequent demonstrations.

In addition, politicians are using social networks to communicate with and mobilize their voters. At the time of writing, 15,797 people were following Prime Minister Harper’s Twitter account (twitter.com/pmHarper) and 1,654,168 people were following President Obama (twitter.com/BARACKOBAMA)

Finally, identity theft can happen on social networking pages. Well known celebrities and personalities are being impersonated and slandered by people who create false accounts in their name. For example, St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa sued Twitter in June 2009 when someone impersonated the Cardinals manager. Twitter now offers verified accounts for high-profile twitter accounts, including Ashton Kutcher (twitter.com/aplusk), Ellen DeGeneres (twitter.com/TheEllenShow) and Britney Spears (twitter.com/britneyspears). According to Twitterholic, Kutcher, DeGeneres and Spears have more followers on Twitter than CNN (twitter.com/cnnbrk)

Using Twitter in the Classroom as a collaboration tool

Similar to blogs, wikis, and google docs, twitter is another digital medium that helps people (including students) collaborate and communicate. Here are some paper-and-pencil examples of teaching strategies in the classroom:

1) Think, pair, share is a common teaching strategy that provide students with an opportunity to independently try a problem as well as get feedback from their immediate peers and entire class.

2) Having students write responses on post-it notes can be a great paper-and-pencil tool to help students become more precise in their answers. Writing on a post-it note can be less intimidating than a larger piece of paper.

3) Posting examples of student work on the wall allows students to see what excellence looks like

4) Timely feedback allows students to self-correct and guides their learning.

Twitter is a neat “little” collaboration tool that allows you to do the same teaching strategies online. You could create individual or group Twitter accounts for your students. A class account follows all of the students so we get a live feed of ideas which you can then project using a data projector.

1) It’s kind of like using classroom clickers (i.e. SMART student response system), but instead of being limited to multiple-choice answers or numerical responses, you’re texting in short messages. In the computer lab, you could ask a question in response to a text (printed or media) and have students respond on Twitter.

2) Think, Pair, Share using Twitter: Think – composing a response on twitter and submitting it. Pair – Seeing what other people are tweeting and revising your tweet based on their feedback. Share – have students turn off their monitors and have a whole-class conversation about the question.

3) Students can post responses to a question on Twitter which can be read by their peers allowing for immediate feedback.
Responses are limited to 144 characters which is the digital equivalent of a post-it note.

Integrating technology into the curriculum helps prepare students for the real world, validates this genre of literacy, and can motivate / interest students in a way that traditional paper-and-pencil tasks do not.

Scholarships for Moms by Richard Masoner

Admission Ticket by Nagyman

As a prospective university student, the most persuasive essay you will have to write to this stage in your life is the admissions essay.   This passage of work will play a large role in getting accepted to your chosen field of study.

So what goes into an admission essay?

Think of your essay as a way for the university to understand why you are applying.  What are the benefits to you?  How will you contribute to this academic school?  Your answer gives you the opportunity to state your case and gives you the opportunity to differentiate yourself from other applicants.

To get you started with an admissions essay, Essayinfo.com has some great essay topics for you to consider-

Sample essay topics

There are hundreds of possible topics that you can be asked to write an essay on. Given below are some of the more common ones.

1. What events, activities or achievements have contributed to your own self-development?
2. Describe a situation in which you had significant responsibility and what you learned from it.
3. Describe your strengths and weaknesses in two areas: setting and achieving goals, and working with other people.
4. Your career aspirations and factors leading you to apply to this course at this time. Describe a challenge to which you have successfully responded. What did you learn about yourself as you responded to this challenge? Describe a challenge you anticipate facing in any aspect of college life. On the basis of what you learned from your earlier response, how do you expect to deal with this challenge?
5. Describe and evaluate one experience that significantly influenced your academic interests. The experience might be a high school course, a job, a relationship, or an extracurricular activity. Be sure to explain how this experience led to your setting the goals you now have for yourself, and why you think the academic program for which you are applying will help you to reach those goals.
6. Describe your educational, personal or career goals.
7. Role Model – If you could meet/be/have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be and why?
8. Past Experience – Describe an event that has had a great impact on you and why?
9. What was your most important activity/course in high school and why?
10. Forecast important issues in the next decade, century – nationally, globally.
11. Why do you want to study at this university?
12. Tell us something about yourself, your most important activities?
13. How would your room, computer or car describe you?

List all your activities for the past four years. Include school activities; awards, honors, and offices held; community services; jobs; and travel. Record major travel experiences. Note your strongest impressions and how they affected you. If you loved the Grand Canyon, for example, write down three specific reasons why, aside from the grandeur and beauty that everyone loves. Describe an accomplishment that you had to struggle to achieve. Include what it was, how you tackled it, and how it changed you.

Think of one or two sayings that you’ve heard again and again around your house since childhood. How have they shaped your life? What personality traits do you value most in yourself? Choose a few and jot down examples of how each has helped you. Think of things that other people often say about you. Write about whether or not you agree with their assessments and how they make you feel.

Brainstorm “top ten” lists in a few selected categories: favorite books, plays, movies, sports, eras in history, famous people, etc. Review your list to see which items stand out and describe what they’ve added to your life. Describe “regular people” who have motivated you in different ways throughout your life. It could be someone you only met once, a third-grade teacher, or a family member or friend.

Starting your essay

The most common topic–particularly if only one essay is required–is the first, “tell us about yourself.” Since this kind of essay has no specific focus, applicants sometimes have trouble deciding which part of their lives to write about. Beware of the chronological list of events that produces dull reading. Remember, also, to accent the positive rather than the negative side of an experience. If you write about the effect of a death, divorce, or illness on your life, tell about but don’t dwell on your bad luck and disappointments.

Instead, emphasize what you have learned from the experience, and how coping with adversity has strengthened you as an individual.

1. Tie yourself to the college: Why are you interested in attending, and what can the institution do for you? Be specific. Go beyond “XYZ College will best allow me to realize my academic potential.
2. Read the directions carefully and follow them to the letter. In other words, if the essay is supposed to be 500 words or less, don’t submit 1000 words.
3. Consider the unique features of the institution, e.g., a liberal arts college will be impressed with the variety of academic and personal interests you might have, while an art institute would be most interested in your creative abilities.
4. Be positive, upbeat and avoid the negatives, e.g. I am applying to your school because I won’t be required to take physical education or a foreign language.
5. Emphasize what you have learned, e.g. provide more than a narration when recounting an experience.
6. Write about something you know, something only you could write.
7. Make certain you understand the question or the topic. Your essay should answer the question or speak directly to the given topic.
8. List all ideas. Be creative. Brainstorm without censoring.
9. Sort through ideas and prioritize. You cannot tell them everything, Be selective.
10. Choose information and ideas which are not reflected in other parts of your application. This is your chance to supplement your application with information you want them to know.
11. Be persuasive in showing the reader you are deserving of admission. Remember your audience.

If you were asked to write a persuasive essay twenty years ago, you had two choices on how you could put your final work together.

Your could write it.  Or you could type it.

Do you even remember what an 80′s typewriter looked like.  I am going to guess no.  Technology has changed a lot in the last two decades.  You have streaming media, mp4, flash animation … the list goes on.  But there is a downside to have access to technology – you are expected to use it.  Previous generations were expected to hand in 1000 words on white paper.  Today, you are expected to embrace the different forms of media.  Here is a good example how the visual can have as much impact as the written word -

Lots of web articles and specialist reports emphasize accreditation as the basis for a successful distance learning online degree. Recognized quality education and accreditation seem to be the one and the same given the possibility to transfer to other learning institutions and the chance to continue college studies on the basis of the diploma. The legal context for distance learning online degree offers is available with national or regional accreditors. Associate degrees are the most numerous online and many students choose the flexible distance education because of the possibility to work and learn at the same time. Computer repair, accounting, health care and technical jobs, all require a form of associate degree.

As opposed to traditional education, a degree distance learning master online leaves room for higher flexibility. This means that you can study at an individual pace, at any time of the day you choose. Consequently, your education will not be impaired by a full time job or the family duties. Not everyone qualifies for online degree programs. If you are not well motivated and cannot work according to deadlines, it will be pretty difficult to complete assignments and go through all the online coursework. Moreover, if you are not a native English speaker, you need perfect English fluency and proficient reading comprehension.

Do not enroll in a distance learning online degree program unless you are sure that the education will help you get a better job. If you want to apply for an associates degree in order to get a technical job you may have to inquire whether you wouldn’t qualify with a certificate too. As opposed to an associates degree, a certificate is less expensive and easier to get. In some cases, on-the-job training will be enough qualification, hence, it would be a waste to spend thousands of dollars on a coursework that will not help you much for career improvement.

Pay attention to the form of accreditation of the distance learning online degree institution. What institutions pass accreditation? The auditing is carried out by special companies which make the degrees credible on the market. Thus, it is advisable to choose institutions that have received the accreditation from regional boards or from the Distance Education Training Council. There could nevertheless be cases when you will not be able to transfer your credits to other schools. Therefore, look into this matter seriously particularly if you intend to continue with college studies.

Is this you?  You’re broke, eating 2 minute noodles for 3 meals a day and suffering under an avalanche of assingments due next week?  Congratulations, you are the perfect sucker for a scam.  Our guest contributor today discusses one common work from home scam that targets people just like you – data entry.

Data entry is a very prolific sector for online activities, and therefore, lots of people are attracted by the simplicity of the tasks and the easy money its is supposed to bring.  Advertisers for these jobs are not that picky about the people they hire, they claim that you can be a complete computer newbie, type just ten words per minute and have not skills whatsoever, and you’d still qualify for their job offer. Well, behind such plethora of programs, hundreds of data entry scams lurk; yet, one has to admit that plenty of companies get a wrong or incorrect classification because of a misleading form of advertising. Many of the freelancers working online have difficulties in discerning scams from real jobs.

First of all, in order to make it clear what we could refer to by data entry scams, we need to admit that the concept can be used in relative contexts and pretty subjectively. For instance, lots of people think that data entry requires typing a few words here and there, and money will instantly start flowing into their pockets. When they realize a superior amount of work is required, they reevaluate the money-vs.-work situation and feel disappointed and even duped. This is one situation when the term scam is used loosely for situations that are not at all tricky.

From this perspective, data entry scams could be misleading. Lots of freelancers get discouraged and avoid contacting a certain company because of the ads formulation that seems to give the service a pretty bad look. A good idea to avoid such issues is to turn to programs that are totally dedicated to the data entry field of activity, as it is the case with the Survey Scout. Otherwise, the largest number of so-called data entry scams are connected with affiliate marketing. While some job advertisements hide scams others are really serious business offers. Only a closer investigation into the matter will tell the difference!

Here is one example from the many data entry scams you may encounter on the Internet. You read a common job ad for a typing position; no experience or skills are required. All you have to do is pay a $20 non-refundable fee in order to get a package with instructions; after document download you find out that you have to copy and paste the same ad onto all sorts of online board jobs and ask people to pay you $20 to get the document, and so on and so forth. This is surely a scam and you ought to know better than fall for it. Furthermore, the line between being scammed and becoming a scammer gets pretty thin under such circumstances!

If you make the cut, Pixar has an unforgettable and meaningful job internship for you.

Genentech, one of Fortune’s “Best Companies to Work For,” offers an intensive internship program that runs for 10-12 weeks during the summer. Students will be placed into project teams related to research, development, manufacturing or business. Juniors majoring in physical sciences or chemical engineering are preferred.
