Assignment 1.1: Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part I
Prewriting
Due Week 3 and worth 30 points

When looking for information about a particular issue, how often do you try to resist biases toward your own point of view? This assignment asks you to engage in this aspect of critical thinking by playing the “Believing Game.” The Believing Game is about making the effort to “believe” – or at least consider – the reasons for an opposing view on an issue.

The assignment is divided into two (2) parts.
In Part I of the assignment (due Week 3), you will first read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes: “The Believing Game and How to Make Conflicting Opinions More Fruitful” at http://www.procon.org/sourcefiles/believinggame.pdf. Next, you will review the Procon.org Website in order to gather information. Then, you will engage in prewriting to examine your thoughts.

Note: In Part II of the assignment (due Week 5), you will write an essay geared towards synthesizing your ideas.

Part I – Prewriting: Follow the instructions below for this prewriting activity. Use complete sentences and adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

1. Select one (1) of the approved topics from the www.procon.org Website and state your position on the issue.
2. From the Procon.org Website, identify three (3) premises (reasons) listed under either the Pro or Con section – whichever section opposes your position.
3. For each of the three (3) premises (reasons) that oppose your position on the issue, answer these “believing” questions suggested by Elbow:
   1. What’s interesting or helpful about this view?
   2. What would I notice if I believed this view?
   3. In what sense or under what conditions might this idea be true?”

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

• Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
• Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
• Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
• This prewriting assignment has no page requirement. There is no requirement at this time to include references in the assignment.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Identify the informal fallacies, assumptions, and biases involved in manipulative appeals and abuses of language.
• Create written work utilizing the concepts of critical thinking.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in critical thinking skills and informal logic.

Research paper on the physics behind one of your favorite biological application. Should be based on physics 7 concepts (electricity, magnetism, optics, etc.). It should be four pages long (double space) with citations provided. You can include pictures and graphs but make them small and only if necessary. It will be worth up to 2.5 % of class grade (will be based on overall presentation and quality of the research). You can upload you research paper here! Make sure it is a pdf file!

The research paper should include the following!

i) Theory (must describe the physical concept used for the application, feel free to use appropriate equations)

ii) Background history of the Applied application (how the theory is being used for the implementation of the application)

iii) Current state of the application, and future developments (if applicable)

iv) must cite all the sources.

Any plagiarized work will receive zero!

I need someone who specializes in making a physics lab. He has to do the required experiment to get the correct and accurate results.

The format of each lab report is structured similarly to professional publications (see Research Archives) and must include the following sections:

• title
• authors
• date
• goals
• predictions
• schematics
• procedural steps
• results / table
• graph
• summary
• reflections

These sections are explained here broadly in terms of fulfilling the the minimum requriments of the lab report (70% grade). Going beyond these expectations would increase the grade (80% to 100%).

In preparation for the lab, the experiment’s goal is paraphrased from the Laboratory Guideline Notes. The predictions are prepared at home given the limited laboratory time. It is pasted into the lab notebook before discussion time. The schematics (half page minimum) shows a detailed diagram of the entire setup used for the experiment. It must include all knobs and connections, so that someone else could replicate the experiment easily. Details, such as the four connection ports of the multimeter or the specific rows on the breadboard, should be included. Additionally, add variabls that you use in the measurement. An example is II for current, R1R1 for resistance. The current II could be measured at any point, so it is important for the reader to know what location you are referring to.

The procedural steps include an account of your experimental approach and also observations along the way. Use full sentences and neat writing. Units need to be included in the table, and columns clearly marked. It is important that the column names ΔVΔV, II, dd, are clearly explained in the schematic or elsewhere. Use a ruler (provided) for drawing a table and also a graph. The dependent variable is along the x-axis; it is the quantity that you can vary as an experimentalist. The axes require labels and units. Data points are added accurately (use ruler) or print the graph created on a computer using the network printer in the lab (set the printer to 1-page printing, so that paper is not wasted.)

Reserve about 20 minutes to write your summary and reflection at the end of the lab. The summary is one paragraph and answers the questions set forth in the “goals” section. Describe the underlying physics principle. Use quantitative answers and include uncertainties, find the main result and only include that. Briefly discuss the implications and comparisons with the predictions, include numbers, whenever possible. The reflection is also one paragraph. It is a personal point-of-view towards the experiment and includes improvements, enhancements that you would suggest, if redoing the experiment. The reflective paragraph provides the reader with more insight about how the experiment was run and possible problems that were encountered.

Include time stamps, whenever possible. Add observations that you make along the way.

In addition to these minimum requirements, the lab reports should be enhanced. Enhancements include transparent calculations of the uncertainty, discussion of the predictions, improvements to the design of the experiment, more precise measurements, depth to the tasks, technical abilities to make accurate measurements, additional measurements to confirm your method, relations between parameters, and ideas that you are testing.
