November 12th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 6"), Art Comments Off on Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong

Final Installment (50 points): Your paper as a whole, should be a study of your choice musicians life, and their relevance to, and impact on the music world. Any parallels you can make that point to connections your musicians has to social issues from their time, especially those we are still struggling with, would be very important to bring up. Here is how you should build your paper:

Title and Name – Don’t forget these! They’re important!!
Introduction – The paper should begin with an introduction describing the person you chose, why you chose him/her, and stating your specific thesis (in bold print).

Body of Paper – Use your Installment #2 as a guideline and begin by elaborate on the analysis you have already provided. If you follow that format, and continue to elaborate, you will naturally build the body of your paper. The body of the paper will also consist of background research on the music and culture pertaining to your chosen individual.

Conclusion – The paper should end with a conclusion that revisits the original thesis, highlights what you learned through your research about the person you chose, and how the experience has impacted or altered your views about jazz, culture, and the world around you. The conclusion should be mostly in your own words, and it should revisit the original thesis, highlight what you learned as a result of your research and interview, and describe in detail how the experience has affected your opinions or views of jazz and how it relates to the world around you.

Bibliography – You must include a bibliography, showing that you used a variety of resources with at least 4 articles, books, and encyclopedias.  You must include at least one of each of those.  A good resource to start with is Oxford Music Online (http://library.calstate.edu/northridge/databases/proxy/20).

By university standards, this paper is supposed to be a minimum of 2,500 words minimum (not counting the bibliography), double spaced, in a common 12-point font. I, however am a firm believer in content, so as long as this is a well-researched, well-written paper, that shows that you learned as much as possible about your topic, then I believe that anywhere between 1,500-2,500 words is acceptable.  So don’t feel obligated to meet that 2,500 quota. Content is the most important! If you paper is thin and it is obvious you did not put in any effort, your grade on paper will be marked down substantially.

November 12th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 6"), English and Literature Comments Off on Any topic (writer’s choice)

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Choose a social, environmental, or political issue that is persistent (whether or not you have been personally affected by it). This is an issue that must be able to be approached analytically and critically, as you will be arguing for a specific solution to it.

Write an introduction that introduces your topic, problem, and thesis. The thesis should contain what youre going to be arguing throughout the paper.

Select at least five academic sources to support your thesis. You may use additional credible sources that dont necessarily count as academic, such as documentaries or news articles, but remember to use caution about fake information.

Determine who your audience is and then use rhetoric appropriately to convince them of your solution. That means there must be clear uses of ethos, pathos, and  logos throughout.

Your paper should not only include evidence and support for your argument, but it should also acknowledge counter arguments and reasoning as to why these counter arguments are invalid (logical fallacies, etc.).

Questions you should answer throughout your paper include: Why do you believe [insert here] is a problem? What is your proposed solution? Not only why is it a good idea but why is it the best idea? Why do some people believe theres not an issue? Why do some people believe that your solution isnt the best? Why are they wrong?

By the conclusion, it should be evident not only why there is a problem in what youve addressed, but why others should care about it and why your proposed solution is the best option.
