Assignment 1.2: Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part II
Synthesizing and Writing

Due Week 4 (Please Follow the Grading rubric) or Lose 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.

The assignment is divided into two (2) parts.
For Part I of the assignment (due Week 2), you read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes, reviewed the Procon.org Website in order to gather information, and engaged in prewriting to examine your thoughts.
* Remember that in the Week 2 Discussion, you examined the biases discussed in Chapter 2 of the webtext.

In Part II of the assignment (due Week 4), you will write a paper to synthesize your ideas.
Part II – Writing
Write at three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. State your position on the topic you selected for Assignment 1.1.
2. Identify (3) three premises (reasons) from the Procon.org website that support your position    and explain why you selected these specific reasons.
3. Explain your answers to the “believing” questions about the three (3) premises opposing your position from the Procon.org website.
4. Examine at least two (2) types of biases that you likely experienced as you evaluated the premises for and against your position.
5. Discuss the effects of your own enculturation or group identification that may have influenced your biases.
6. Discuss whether or not your thinking about the topic has changed after playing the “Believing Game,” even if your position on the issue has stayed the same.

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.

Note to Professor Washington

1. I need you to follow the comment made by my instructor. (Please See Assignment 1.1 and the highlighted area)
2. I Need you to follow the Grading Rubric. (As per my Instructor grading comment Assignment 1.1 is more general essay that doesn’t quite fit the grading rubric).

Here is the whole comment on Assignment 1.1

To Student / Professor Washington, this (Assignment 1.1) was a well written and thoughtful essay about the death penalty and some of the pros and cons.  Open the rubric and the paper and click on the yellow highlighting to go over my feedback.  The key issue here is that this paper has very specific steps to go through that require you to use procon.org and ask those assigned questions from Peter Elbow’s believing game article we read. You instead wrote a more general essay that doesn’t quite fit the grading rubric. When we build on this in week 4, be sure to download my assignment model from Week 4 Instructor Insights, and that will help you to be sure you go through the required steps. Again, your work is very good, just make sure that you are answering the required elements.  Keep up your good start to the quarter!

Please see all the line comment made by the instructor from the attached assignment 1.1 file. As a result, I got “C”. which is I lost 15 point on assignment 1 from the total point.
