A. Extra Credit Overview
Total 20 Points (Due Sunday)
For this short essay assignment, you’ll be graded on your ability to demonstrate comprehension and critically reflect on the film.
Most students who do their work on time don’t need extra credit. Having said this, it’s a lot easier to get an “A” in this class when you do the extra credit. I’ve seen hundreds of “B” students earn a higher grade because they did the extra credit early on. Just make sure to follow directions and submit on time. They get easier to do the sooner you finish your first one.
Only one attempt per student. I don’t allow for late work when it comes to extra credit – it’s in our Late Work Policy.
B. Literary Essay Guidelines (20 Points)
You are writing a literary/media analysis in the form of an essay. Your essay is worth up to 15 points. It should have all of the following, and up to how many max points you can lose if you don’t add it to your essay:
Up to -2 Points | short intro (2-3 sentences) with highlighted thesis statementLinks to an external site..
Up to -2 Points | proper grammar and free of spelling errors,
Up to -4 Points | use proper citations with timestamps,
Up to -9 Points | based on the assigned media (e.g. film),
Up to -2 Points | apply and highlight a course concept to argue your theme/thesis,
Up to -9 Points | directly address all aspects of the prompt(s). Up to -2 Points | concise conclusion (2-3 sentences) C. Media/Literary Analysis
How to use a social lens to watch media
First, it’s important to watch the film carefully with a critical eye. Consider why you’ve been assigned to watch a film and write an analysis. How does this activity fit into the course? Why have you been assigned this particular film? What are you looking for in connection to the course content? Here are some tips on how to watch the clip critically, just as you would an entire film:
Give the clip your undivided attention at least once. Pay close attention to details and make observations that might start leading to bigger questions.
Watch the clip a second time. For this viewing, you will want to focus specifically on those elements of film analysis that your class has focused on, so review your course notes. For example, from whose perspective is this clip shot? What choices help convey that perspective? What is the overall tone, theme, or effect of this clip?
Take notes while you watch for the second time. Notes will help you keep track of what you noticed and when, if you include timestamps in your notes. Timestamps are vital for citing scenes from a film!
D. Media Analysis Prompt
Film: Delano Manongs
Critical Reflection / Media Analysis
In an essay, provide your response to the question(s) or prompts below according to the film. You can also add what you’ve learned thus far about the UFW in readings and lectures as part of your critical analysis.

Discuss the contributions of Filipino Americans in improving farmworker conditions.
Analyze worker participation, labor organizing, and UFW leadership.

*No external sources. Base your response on the author’s conversation in the assigned book and, as an add-on, you can tie in your own personal experiences, stories, and examples.

Purpose Each module unit takes the task of writing a good essay and breaks it down into smaller steps. In this discussion, we will share our thoughts on our readings for this unit by relating the contents to our experiences and prior knowledge. By sharing our interpretations on the readings, we will generate ideas for the Research paper. In our discussion, you will also asked to support your thesis ideas with evidence from our assigned texts for this module. That evidence will also serve to help you put together a comprehensive outline for your essay in the next assignment.

Grading Requirements 1 main post (200+ words) that fully responds to Dr. Kwa’s prompt 2 replies (50+ words each) to others’ main posts Very Important: You are required to end all of your main posts and replies with a question that is related to your thoughts in your post. Originality Please make sure to give credit to other students by name should you discuss their ideas. If your discussion forum plagiarizes ideas or wording from another student’s post or an outside source, your post will not be accepted for credit. AI Generated Text Not Allowed No use of AI bots, including Chat GPT and Google Translate, are permitted for any stage of the writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, revisions, grammar check, or composition. Assignments that contain AI generated text or plagiarism in any amount will receive a “0” grade with no possibility of a rewrite. Discussion Formatting and Other Important Tips Main posts should be titled “Main Post” to distinguish them from replies Paragraph formatting: Divide your post into separate paragraphs. Skip a blank line between paragraphs, and do not indent paragraphs (e.g. business letters). Make sure to answer all parts of Dr. Kwa’s instructions for each discussion. Avoid recopying Dr. Kwa’s questions and writing in a question and answer format. Write in well-organized complete paragraphs. Must show language respectful of other students and Dr. Kwa. Disagreement is fine; hurtful language is not. Flaming posts will be immediately deleted from the forum. Must be proofread and reasonably grammatically correct. I recommend that you first write your post in Microsoft Word, save it, and then cut and paste it into the forum. Remember to capitalize “I,” beginnings of sentences, proper nouns etc. Use proper punctuation, including periods at end of sentences. Avoid all capitalized letters in words since this looks like screaming in written form. Avoid run-ons and fragments. Avoid abbreviations used typically when texting or writing casual emails. Always spell-check.

Instructions
Write a research paper on the following.  The assignment has two requirements:
1.) Select a publicly-traded company that is traded on U.S. exchange. Locate the annual report for at least the last three fiscal years.
Analyze the financial statements for the company and review for large movements in specific accounts from one year to the next. In addition, review the notes to the financial statements as these are an integral part of the financial reporting package. Evaluate the balance sheet to determine if there are large changes in the company’s assets, liabilities, or equity accounts. In addition, analyze the income statement and statement of cash flows.
2.)  At a minimum, calculate the following ratios for two years, the debt-to-equity ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, return on equity, and net profit margin. For each ratio, explain what the ratio tells you about the company. 
The research paper must have a minimum of 2-3 pages (excluding the title and reference page) and be formatted in APA 7th edition.
Save your file as “LastnameFirstinitial-ACCT105-CA.”
Submit your work by midnight ET on Day 7 (Sunday).
Note that your attached paper will automatically be submitted to Turnitin, and an Originality Report should be sent back to the classroom within around 15 minutes. The Originality report does not actually recommend changes. It does point out where you may need to add a citation or quotation marks (if not already cited). Once you use it a few times, you will appreciate this tool, as it will assist you in improving quality and content, as well as avoid plagiarism. Your goal is to keep direct quotations to a minimum and to make sure that you do not just cut and paste material. Ensure that all your references are cited. A report with a similarity index less than 25% is acceptable for undergraduate-level work.
Your paper will be evaluated according to the Writing Assignment Grading shown below. To maximize your grade, be sure to use the proper organization (intro, body, conclusion) and follow APA style.

Overview & Purpose
Estimated Time: 3-4 hours
Process Step: Reflection
Learning Outcomes: Use composing processes and strategies as a means to invent, discover, and reconsider ideas; learn metacognitive strategies for reflecting on evolving composing practices to transfer knowledge to other situations.
Instructional Materials: Before beginning, review the following:
Course Learning Goals and the Habits of MindLinks to an external site.
One of our main course goals in this class is for you to be able to transfer the writing skills you learn here to future writing situations (no matter if they are academic, professional, or personal). Thinking and writing about your writing experiences – what we call “metacognitive reflective writing” – is essential to making your learning “stick” so you can use it again in the future.
In this class, you will write three reflective pieces on your writing experiences. Though each reflection will be a bit different, in general, the reflective writing assignments will help you accomplish the following:
Identify and set goals.
Make sense of and grow from learning experiences.
Use what you’ve learned in the past to inform and guide your future learning.
Instructions
Step 1: Reflect and Brainstorm
Consider your past writing experiences. Look back and think critically (carefully, deliberately, and methodically) about your past experiences composing and writing, and how you feel about writing as a result. 
Brainstorm ideas for your reflection, keeping in mind that roughly half of your reflection should be spent both “Looking Back” and “Looking Forward.” Use the following questions to help you generate (invent) ideas. Choose the questions that resonate with you; you do not need to cover all of the questions but you should have a fairly equal balance between the two categories. 
Looking Back
Looking Forward
How would you describe your writing process? What parts of the process are strengths? Where would you like to improve? 
What kinds of writing do you have experience with? Describe those experiences. 
What kinds of technology have you used for writing and research? What technologies are most helpful, and what impede your writing? What works well for you, and what are you challenged by?
What kinds of writing are part of your workplace? Your social life? Your academic life?
How confident do you feel about those types of writing? Why do you feel that way?
What kinds of writing habits have you developed? Which habits help you? Which habits hold you back?
How have the perceptions of others (such as teachers or peers) about your writing impacted your identity as a writer?
How do you feel about yourself as a writer? What is your current identity as a writer/composer?
What are your goals for developing your writing process?
What new media would you like to try composing in?
What new technologies would you like to learn to use in your writing?
What kinds of writing would you like to experiment with?
What writing practices and strategies do you want to strengthen?
What habits of mind do you want to practice and strengthen?
What type of writing identity would you like to have? How would you like to feel about yourself as a writer? How would you like others to see you as a writer?
What specific writing goals do you have in this class? What would you like to be able to accomplish as a writer after completing this class?
Step 2: Compose and Design
Compose the story of your writing experiences and goals as a short essay. Do not simply answer the questions above or use bullet points; use the questions as a brainstorming and planning tool to help you as you compose your reflective essay. Make sure to organize your ideas logically and structure your essay in a way that will make sense for your readers.
Discuss the following:
Your attitudes about what you’ve learned about writing up to this point.
The evolution of your writing.
Your perceptions about yourself as a writer. 
Support your claims with evidence that explains why you feel the way you do. Include the following:
Detailed explanations.
Parts of texts you have written.
Visuals that support the message of the written text. 
You can also use design features to draw your readers’ attention to key parts of your reflection:
Add section headings to guide your readers to the different parts of your reflection.
Use indentations and white space to separate paragraphs/sections.
Use colored and formatted text to highlight important words and phrases.
Step 3: Include Visual Examples 
Include 1-2 visual examples (or evidence) of your experience with writing. Spend time selecting important examples that will show your readers something meaningful and make sure to explain them in your reflection. This might include the following:
Screenshots of your previous writing, which can include previous school work/feedback, writing from your professional life, social media posts, emails/text messages, and more.
Hyperlinks to your writing if it exists elsewhere on the web, such as on a personal blog or website.
Photos you have taken that reflect your reading and writing life (books you have read, your workspace, things that inspire you).
Engaging images found online that represent the ideas or concepts you are writing about.
Even video or audio content (YouTube videos, TED Talks, links to songs, etc.).
Make sure to engage with the visual examples you include in your reflection. Where should they be included within your reflection? Will you use text wrap and/or captions to help your readers?
Step 4: Revise and Proofread 
Revise and proofread your reflection for overall organization and flow within each paragraph.
Submission Requirements
Genre: Reflective essay
Audience: External readers in this course (your classmates, instructor, and Writing Mentor)
Length: At least 500 words (around 250 each for “Looking Back” and “Looking Forward”) 
Format: Either PDF or Microsoft Word-compatible
Multimodality: 1-2 visual examples

When it comes to their education, I learn alot of things, having friends college not to be boring, but when it comes to services, i think it needs improvement, but overall its great. My plans after graduation, for now I’ll have some rest since I’ve been a student for a long time, also I’ll have time to prepare my self in the real world snd find a suitable job

Before endeavoring to write this paper, make sure you’ve read the following essays:
The Damned Human Race (pg. 42 in your textbook)
Thinking as a Hobby (pg. 30 in your textbook)
Harrison Bergeron
The Ones Who Walk Away From OmelasLinks to an external site.
After reading the aforementioned essays, read Chapter 4, for it details how to write an Issue/Problem Paper.
For your second Issue/Problem Paper, these are several prompts. Please choose one:
1. Based on The Damned Human Race, what would Twain think about The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas?
2. Based on The Damned Human Race, would Twain support those who leave Omelas? Or would he be more supportive of those who choose to stay?
3. Based on Twain’s essay, should those who leave Omelas be considered “damned?” Or are the “damned” those choosing to remain in Omelas?
4. Based on Twain’s essay, should people walk away from Omelas?
5. Who is the Grade One Thinker in Harrison Bergeron? (Notice the key word, “the.” This prompt is not asking you to classify the characters in the story as Grade One, Two, or Three Thinkers. It is asking you who THE Grade One Thinker is in Harrison Bergeron. Thus, after your first paragraph, you must refute the opposition twice for the other two potential Grade One Thinkers.)
6. If the lack of equity among humans (as portrayed in The Damned Human Race) has something to do with the division and conflict that humans inspire, would the solution presented by Diana Moon Glampers in Harrison Bergeron help support Twain’s claim?
7. Based on Mark Twain’s The Damned Human Race, classify Twain as a Grade One, Grade Two, or Grade Three Thinker. (If you choose this one, you must refute the opposition twice in your second paragraph.)
For Prompts #5 and #7, please adhere to these definitions:
Grade-One Thinkers: offer solutions
Grade-Two Thinkers: detect contradictions
Grade-Three Thinkers: feel instead of think
Make sure to mind the following:
Proofread!  Your I/P Paper is worth 100 points.
Make sure that the first sentence of your I/P Paper is your claim.
Diction tips for refuting the opposition can be found on pg. 156-157.
When writing, make sure each assertion (“point”) is coupled with an example.  Hence, as noted on pg. 55, you’ll have your “claim,” then your first “point,” and then your first “example.”  Following the “example,” you should have a sentence of “commentary.”  (“Commentary” simply explains the relevance of your “example,” and it also links your “example” to your “point” and, most importantly, to your “claim.”)  For clarification, simply note the examples on pgs. 57-58.  Both Susan and Joey follow the “Point/Example/Commentary” format.
Your typed I/P Paper should not exceed one page.  Your point size should still be .12, and your composition should still be double-spaced.  Also, your margins should meet MLA guidelines.  Although your I/P Paper should not exceed one page, a second page will be included. This will be your Works Cited page.  Of course, if you only cite one work, then it will be aptly titled: Work Cited.
Make sure to compose a Works Cited page for this assignment. Check out Owl Purdue for MLA assistance.  Keep in mind that Thinking as a Hobby and The Damned Human Race appear in your textbook, so you cite them as A Work In An Anthology, as per Owl Purdue.
For additional information on refuting the opposition, or if you’d like to see three models of a complete I/P Paper (first draft, second draft, third draft), just revisit I/P Paper 1.
Organization
Here’s how I/P Paper 2 should be organized (for Prompts #1, 2, 3, 4, and 6):
Paragraph One
Claim
Point
Example
Commentary
Commentary (You may only need one sentence of Commentary, depending upon how well you connect your Example to your Point/Claim in your first Commentary.)
Point
Example
Commentary
Commentary (You may only need one sentence of Commentary, depending upon how well you connect your Example to your Point/Claim in your first Commentary.)
Paragraph Two
Address the Opposition
Identify with the Opposition
Refute the opposition
Organization
(If you are choosing Prompt #7, please follow the Organization as noted in I/P Paper 1, for it is essential that you refute the opposition for the two grades of thinking that oppose your claim, which means that you should refute the opposition twice.)
(If you are choosing Prompt #5, you likely want to refute the opposition twice, as there are likely three viable candidates for Grade One Thinking in Harrison Bergeron: Diana Moon Glampers, Hazel Bergeron, and Harrison Bergeron.)
Here’s how I/P Paper 2 should be organized (for Prompts #5 and 7):
Paragraph One
Claim
Point
Example
Commentary

Checklist
1. GRAMMAR. Grammatical errors (commas, apostrophes, run-ons, fragments, etc.) are common. But as per the rubric, grammatical errors can compromise a person’s grade. Thus, please consider doing one of the following:
Send your Paper to NetTutor (you should see NetTutor in our course navigation/menu).
Work online with the MSAC Writing Center (Links to an external site.).
Run your Paper through Grammarly (Links to an external site.).
2. LANGUAGE. Watch out for definitive language in your I/P Paper 2. Words like “only,” “never,” “always,” etc. are difficult to use responsibly. Further, they will likely compromise what you’re attempting to communicate. Instead, soften assertions (particularly in your Points and Commentary) with words like “seems,” “likely,” “may,” etc.
3. WORKS CITED. You’ll need to cite a minimum of two works for I/P Paper 2. The two will likely come from these options: The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, Thinking as a Hobby, The Damned Human Race, and Harrison Bergeron. 
Assuming you are citing Thinking as a Hobby or The Damned Human Race from our textbook, then you’ll cite each as A Work In An Anthology as per MLA 8th Edition. Go to Owl Purdue (Links to an external site.) for instructions. Here’s an example of how to cite A Work In An Anthology:
Harris, Muriel. “Talk to Me: Engaging Reluctant Writers.” A Tutor’s Guide: Helping Writers One to One,  
edited by Ben Rafoth, Heinemann, 2000, pp. 24-34.

GWAR Essay #1: Analytical Research Essay
The Analytical Research Essay is your opportunity to demonstrate skills in analytical business writing, data collection, evaluating information, proper style, form, language and usage since analysis is usually the first step in understanding and solving a complex problem.
I.  What is an Analytical Essay?
“Analyze” means to break down into parts in order to study how the parts interact with each other so as to determine the nature of the whole.  The purpose of an analysis is to explain or increase the readers’ understanding of a complex idea or issue by presenting the idea as a collection of parts. An analytical essay is the formal presentation of this process.
II. Your Task:
Using the CSULB Library’s Business Databases (i.e., ABI INFORM/Complete, Business Source Premier, LexisNexis) to gather information, write an analytical research essay that discusses relevant aspects (explaining both the advantages and disadvantages) related to today’s business “workplace.” 
This can include, but not limited to:
workplace safety
training programs
technology/software
hybrid/remote work schedule
workplace policies
tuition assistance
disability/workers’ compensation
family and dependent care resources
employee wellness programs
paid family leave
paid/unpaid internships  
Note:  Since this is an informative essay, you do not need to make a recommendation to your reader.  Each student’s situation is unique, so choosing a business world topic is an individual decision. III. Guidelines
Each written report (research paper) should be a minimum of four (4) FULL single-spaced, typed pages of text. The title page, abstract page, works cited are in addition to the minimum individual written body sections of the report. In other words, the underlined parts are not a part of the required 4 single-spaced requirements. These sources will be annotated on your “References” page.  Use APA-style documentation for your in-text report documentation and “References Page” format.
Turnitin:
Post your essay draft(s) to our Canvas site to check your Turnitin “Originality Index” before submitting your final draft to me for a grade.  If more than 20 percent of your writing is from a source, you need to paraphrase your research material to reflect your own words.  
The introduction section of your report must contain your research question, narrowed, 
focused, and clearly stated; a scope statement (specifying exactly what you are including and excluding); and the purpose of the study – i.e., why it is important.  In the introduction also briefly describe your research strategy along with what indexes and databases you searched. Do this in such a way that the reader will feel confident that you are systematically and thoroughly covering all the necessary ground and that your information will be complete and credible. Make sure you list within the sources and methods section those sources that supplied the most meaningful support for your report conclusions.   
The report body contains the information you found. Use a system of headings and sub-
headings and at least one exhibit (visual / graphic). Use in-text references, done according to APA style. An example is (Denton, 2002, p. 46); this in-text note would refer a reader to your “References” page, which must also be done in APA style. See Appendix B on proper APA style documentation and use www.apastyle.org or for online references. You can also use the APA web sources referenced on the university library web site. YOU SHOULD HAVE A MINIMUM OF 5-6 SOURCES (online/journals) IN YOUR ESSAY!!!! 
The conclusion contains a summary of each main section and any inferences you can draw on the basis of the summary. You should have multiple paragraphs in your conclusion. Make sure you answer your research question within your conclusion through use of an overall report-concluding paragraph. Also make sure that you include your recommendations in the conclusion section. Lastly, THE REFERENCE PAGE DOES NOT COUNT IN PAGE LENGTH. 
Writing and revision takes time. Avoid a catastrophe and allow yourself extra time to complete this paper. Use your most competent business writing style. That means clear, correct, plain, concise business like English; nothing fancy, pompous, or wordy. Be careful to proofread your report. Watch sentence structure, appearance, formation of the possessive, spelling, and all the other errors that mar the good impression your work can make. 
IV. Grading Criteria Written Report Grading Criteria:
Following is a breakdown of how I assess the 200 points possible for this assignment: 
I. Content and Sentence Skills = 100 pts. II. Sources and Correct Citing (in-text and “References” page) = 50 pts. 
III. Format = 30 pts.
IV. Use of Graphics = 20 pts.
