Paper Two: Requirements and Rubric
The point of our essays is to demonstrate an understanding of coursework that students exemplify by using class readings, videos, and lecture concepts in MLA Classical Argument Format, adding personal experience to help connect to and sway the audience, and using the ECC Library Database to incorporate credible, scholarly research into the class concepts learned. No outside research.
Make sure you understand how this will be graded in Rubric below!
At ENGL 1C level, get feedback at the Writing CenterLinks to an external site., as this is “our test” to see if students read through the review Lectures on essay writing, skills that they should have achieved in Composition, which is the course before this one. 😊 The Refutation is also the new component of this class, which is required.

Important Requirements:
MLA Format: remember to format your name, class, date, title, etc. Your last name and page number must be in the upper right-hand corner of all pages. This assignment must be in Times New Roman, and double-spaced throughout; do not skip spaces in-between. Indent new paragraphs. Come up with a creative title that has appropriate cap rules. Review Canvas “Pages” Lectures for complete set-up. To attempt to pass, this assignment is a 5-7-page minimum (cannot be under 5 pages to meet course SLO deemed by the college) in Classical Argument Essay Structure.
Thesis: have a clear, connected thesis statement at the end of your introductory paragraph. Your thesis must relate to the above assignment and tie together what your entire paper is about. Remember to stick to your thesis statement throughout; do not wander off topic. Make sure that all of your opinions, critical thinking, examples, and quotes/paraphrases relate to the thesis. Remember, a thesis has the main idea and then the comment (why; the body becomes why).
➢ Quote Requirements:
Have at least five different directly quoted sources. You can always have more.
Please cite the author (if not placed within your sentence) and the page number where the quote was found.
Quotes are used to back-up your point, so make sure that they support your thesis/topic sentence.
At least three must be from class material and two from the database (review “Pages” for database). Also, add an abundance of personal examples to make your argument relatable/convincing to your audience.
A properly formatted Works Cited is required and not part of the page count.
Do your own critical thinking to EXPLAIN the point of your quotes. Do not depend on a quote to analyze an idea for you. Set up quotes appropriately with some power. Do not create “floating quotations.”
➢ Required MLA Essay Format:
An introductory paragraph with a “hook,” full summary, and end with thesis having the main idea, and the “comment” (why). The reasons why become your body/topic sentences.
You must have directly connected topic sentences to start each body paragraph. Supporting quotes also go in the body only. A refutation paragraph (one paragraph right before conclusion) where you counter those who disagree with your thesis. Be careful to not agree with the opposition. Add expert support for your side.
Create a concluding paragraph that meaningfully ties your argument together and “echoes” your strong points, reinforcing the argument. Do not include new ideas, but you can offer solutions or do “a look to the future.” Create a powerful ending sentence.
See “Pages” on Canvas if you need to review structure again.
Cohesion: be concise! Sentence order builds to create one overall idea per body paragraph. All sentences also need to relate/connect logically, creating connected, unified ideas. Try using a few transitional words/phrases in-between sentences. Basic skills reminder: we would never start a paragraph with a transition, and we always use a comma after a transition.
Mechanics: grammar, clarity, sentence structure, and punctuation are necessary. Avoid fragments or incomplete sentences, run-ons, etc. Tutoring/The Writing Center are recommended.
IMPORTANT AI/Plagiarism Reminder: Be sure your work is your own. Thanks.
I am in your corner and rooting for you! 😊 See Grading Rubric.

Title: Designing and Delivering Training for Foreign Employees in Mexico: A Hofstede’s Model Approach Introduction: The world today is becoming increasingly globalized, leading to a rise in cross-cultural interactions and collaborations. As a result, it
Review the information in the attachement below, Hofstede’s Model of National Culture, which covers Geert Hofstede’s research on power distance (low vs. high), individualism (vs. collectivism), masculinity (vs. femininity) or assertiveness (vs. nurturing), uncertainty avoidance (high vs. low), and long-term orientation (vs. short-term orientation).
You (a citizen of the United States) have been given an assignment to travel to a foreign country (Mexico – Guadalajara, Jalisco area) and deliver a training program for citizens of that foreign country. The internet has country comparison tools (such as the one from Hofstede Insights) that provide information on the culture of each country. Find a tool and determine how you will design and deliver training for foreign employees of Mexico, Guadalajara, Jalisco area keeping in mind Geert Hofstede’s research about cultural differences, and your plans to assess its success.
Hofstede’s model has five dimensions so in your paper you will need to have a section to to compare the five dimensions and a comparison between the U.S. and Mexico. It would be helpful to research employment and training laws for Mexico to feature for this assignment. For example, you could do a “Google” search with the keywords “Employment Laws Mexico”.
Your response must have clear paragraph separations and headers for each main section, APA formatting to include a title and references page with all sources cited in APA, and a separate page for all the references used for this paper. You will need no less than two peer-reviewed sources (the “Google Search for employment laws”) is the one exception when a non-peer-reviewed source can be used. -
Title: Statistical Analysis of Student GPA and Steps Per Day
CONFIDENCE INTERVALS
For the confidence intervals, you will be using the PANIC process. You MUST include the following to earn full credit:
P: State the random variable AND the parameter in words, using correct statistical notation
A: Check the assumptions for approximate normality for the sampling distribution of quantitative data
N: The “Test” you are using on your calculator, AND the values you are entering into the calculator for that test.
I: Name the point estimate AND give the confidence interval in interval form
C: State your final conclusion in words in the context of the problem.
Using the PANIC process, construct a 90% confidence interval for the GPA of students who record, on average, LESS than 10,000 steps per day.
Using the PANIC process, construct a 90% confidence interval for the GPA of students who record, on average, MORE than 10,000 steps per day.
What do the two confidence intervals tell you about the data? Can you reach any conclusions about a difference between the two groups (those who logged on average less than 10,000 step per day, and those who logged more than 10,000 steps per day) based on the confidence intervals?
HYPOTHESIS TESTS
Oral Roberts University has a “Fast Track” program that allows upper-level (junior and senior) students to enroll concurrently in both undergraduate and graduate courses. Students must have maintained a minimum GPA of 3.00 to be considered for this program. Even though the students in our sample are only First-year students, we will use a GPA of 3.00 as our benchmark grade. For our first hypothesis test, we will be testing the claim that students who average less than 10,000 steps per day have an average GPA of more than 3.00. For our second hypothesis test, we will be testing the claim that students who average more than 10,000 steps per day have an average GPA of more than 3.00.
For the Hypothesis tests, you do NOT have to use the full PHANTOMS process, since you have already completed some of the steps with your confidence interval. However, you MUST include the following:
H: The null and alternative hypothesis (using correct notation)
N: The “Test” you are using on your calculator, AND the values you are entering into the calculator for that test.
T: The sample statistic and the test statistic (using appropriate statistical notation for each)
O: The p-value (again, using appropriate statistical notation)
M: Whether you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis
S: Your final conclusion in the context of the problem.
Test the hypothesis that students who record, on average, LESS than 10,000 steps per day will have an average GPA greater than 3.00. Use a 5% level of significance.
Test the hypothesis that students who record, on average, MORE than 10,000 steps per day will have an average GPA greater than 3.00. Use a 5% level of significance.
Based on the conclusions of each of the hypothesis tests, can you make any conclusions about the academic achievement of each of these groups? Clearly explain your reasoning.
CONCLUSION
Return to the original article. Re-read the discussion and the Conclusion on pages 10-11. Summarize the findings of YOUR statistical analysis of the sample data by answering the following questions. Be sure to address ALL of the points below, plus anything else you think is relevant to your conclusions.
What connections do you see between the DESCRIPTIVE statistics (your boxplots & histograms) and the INFERENTIAL statistics (your confidence intervals & hypothesis tests). Be specific. -
