Course Description
Welcome to RWS 305W. I’m excited to get to work with you this semester! The purpose of this intermediate writing course is to facilitate students’ continued success with the kinds of critical reading, writing, and thinking tasks that are required of them while they are here at the university, as well as after graduation. Although grasping academic reading and writing strategies are important, the course’s focus on reading and writing both in and beyond the university is particularly relevant to RWS 305W students since, as juniors and seniors, many will soon write for a variety of audiences and purposes. Thus, the course highlights such academic skills as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. In addition, to help students negotiate new writing situations, it asks students to consider how different audiences and contexts shape the rhetorical situation. This course satisfies the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) for the University.
Class Design:
We’ll primarily work asynchronously in the class, but you’ll have assignments due each week that you’ll need to complete to keep up with the class. The reason for this is that we’ll be working together online to craft and revise our various writing assignments, and if someone was too far ahead, or too far behind, they wouldn’t get the benefit of peer reviewing and discussing work together as a class. My office hours will be held on Wednesday 10 am-12 pm, but you can also request another time to meet with me.

For this new assignment, use the NCU library resources to search for a peer-reviewed article on your topic that specifically uses one of the three research methods/designs covered this week–either survey research, evaluation research, or single subject design. The article should focus on a social work population, emphasizing high quality, ethical research with diverse and oppressed populations. Prepare a written critique of the article you selected. Begin with a brief summary of the article, the method, and the findings. Then, address the following:Identify the research method employed by the article, whether it is survey research, evaluation research, or a single subject design. Explain how you knew which method was used.Assess how well the research problem is defined. In your opinion, is it too narrow or broad? Explain.Determine if the researcher(s) discuss the role of theory in the research. If so, how does this contribute to the study?

Were any important details missing?Do the researchers imply if their research proved something? Explain if you believe the researchers’ results prove something.Assess the researcher(s)’ acknowledgment and discussion of the study’s limitations.Would you be proud to have your name on this research as a co-author?Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources.

read the chapter “Robber Barons and Rebels,” from Howard Zinn’s book A People’s History of the United States. Please be prepared to discuss at least five things from this chapter you thought were interestingWrite your discussion post in 150 wordsTHEN, REPLY TO THESE POSTS WITH 2-3 SENTENCES1—-Five things I learned from “Robber Barons and Rebels”:1) During Civil War era, Machines take over human muscle work. Machines started doing work of what humans used to do.2) In early 1900’s machines upgraded the farming. Machines would able to do 61 hours of human hands work in 3 hours of time period. 3) In the race of money and revolution, 22,000 railroad workers either died or killed in the year 1889. 4) If farmers could not pay the rent for borrowing machines etc. the bank would take their home away. Ultimately farmers became tenants. 5) 1893 was the biggest economic crisis year for United States. Around 16,000 business shut down and 642 banks would not able to stand by. Both videos revealed how Walmart strengthen its roots and the ways it put small companies out of business. Videos brings the fact that price comparison plays a big role in establishing big companies. Since Walmart was cheaper and more convenient customers prioritize Walmart over other small stores. As a result, small business ran out of business and mostly shut down their businesses. It is a fact that we as a customer would look for cheaper and convenient store rather than go to small stores. 2——5- Things I learned from Robber Barons and RebelsFarmers who didn’t have the money to pay off their loans had their homes taken away from them.There were around 1,118,000 kids below the age of 16 who were working.In 1900 Morgan had around 100,00 miles of railroad.In the Civil War period, machines were taking over the muscle work, most machines were doing the work of what humans used to do.In 1893 the country saw a huge economic crisis ever in history.In both videos, it showed me how Walmart put small businesses out of business since at Walmart things were not expensive and have more variety. It’s truly upsetting that small companies work just as hard and they go out of business. Walmart only care for them self’s as long as they keep making money, until present day Walmart is one the biggest store’s and there are many of them in the United States, this has made me realize that I need to support and go to small business and help them out even if it is a little bit expensive because it isn’t fair.
