TIPS for successful completion of your essay Page 2 of 2

1. Before beginning your essay, reading the Grading Rubric carefully. Understand that you will receive up to
   60 points for your essay and the closer you follow the Grading Rubric the more likely it will be that you
   will receive full credit for your essay.
2. Do not do additional research beyond the parameters of your class notes. Any uncredited ideas you steal
   from other writers will result in an F grade on your Final Exam. If you took notes on the weekly chapters,
   documents, spotlight on technique videos, readings, and completed the our discussion and group analysis
   posts, you have everything you need to complete this exam successfully.
3. If you do not understand the essay prompt you have chosen, seek clarification and ask for help from the
   instructor.
4. This is your last ARTS 1A assessment, so demonstrate the breadth and depth of what you have learned
   this quarter, exploring works of art by many artists in detail. Since this is the Final Exam, you are welcome
   to draw from your notes across the entire quarter.
5. When you use documents, spotlight on technique videos, and weekly readings, quote from them directly
   and call attention to your thinking process, identifying why you have chosen to use them. As you
   complete parts A and B, integrate discussion of several works of art discussed in class with discussion of
   weekly documents, spotlight on technique videos, and readings.
6. When you write your introduction and conclusion, do not rely on generalizations about art, or make big,
   sweeping statements. Instead, focus on introducing and concluding your own ideas. It is best if you simply
   introduce your goals for your essay in your introduction (“I intend to explore . . .”) and raise questions. In
   your conclusion, summarize what you accomplished in your essay (“In this essay I analyzed . . .”) and
   indicate what further questions you may feel inspired to explore about your topic at a later time.
7. Write in your own voice from your own perspective. Write the essay that only you can write. Use the
   pronoun “I” as you write about works of art discussed in class and use our weekly documents, spotlight on
   technique videos, and readings to support your ideas.
8. There is no required “length” for this essay. You decide how long it needs to be. Essays which receive full
   credit will explore both parts of a chosen prompt thoroughly and clearly, interweaving numerous and
   detailed references to works of art discussed in class, in conjunction with weekly documents, spotlight on
   technique videos, and readings. The body of the essay must be introduced and concluded with a
   straightforward introduction and conclusion, in language that is relevant to the content of your specific
   essay.
9. Choose a 12-point font and double space your essay, leaving one-inch margins around your text. Upload
   your essay as a single pdf or Word doc into Canvas during week 12. Use your own name as the file name.
   No late Final Exams can be accepted.
   Final Exams which contain plagiarized content will receive an “F” grade.

Pep’s leadership style that entails an aspect that aims to keep a balance between the team and happiness of the players has amassed incredible success for the club. Effective management is required for coordination of various departments of an organization to meet the stipulated goal.

In the current football revolution, football teams have become organizational entities and proper business units. Football teams such as QPR and Nottingham represented their fans in the larger European football arena, but today they are nowhere to be seen. A football club needs an organizational structure that balances between the player’s skills and organizational needs. This involves laying out guidance to all players, and other employees to establish proper relationships to govern steady workflows in the club. This is something many institutions struggle with.

Task

The point of Writing Project 3 is to locate and synthesize at least 8 relevant sources that you plan to use in your final research paper, as well as to organize and map the goals of your research-based essay in a one to two page proposal. In writing a proposal, you should be able to arrive at two conclusions: why you have chosen to address this specific topic; and how you plan to contemplate this topic in a meaningful and comprehensive way. The proposal should also create a point of reference, guiding the choices you will make in investigating specific sources, and it should evolve as you complete that research, reflecting your most recent thoughts as you become more knowledgeable in your area of inquiry. The topic you will explore should have some relation to the issues we’ve been exposed to this semester.

Part I: Proposal

Your 1-2-page research proposal should address the following questions in essay format: (1) What problem or question do you intend to address (i.e., what is your research question)? Phrase this as a question in the proposal. (2) How is this question connected to a documentary you viewed for the class? (3) Why is this an interesting question? Why does it matter? (4) Who is talking about it? What academic disciplines explore this question and what methods do they use? (5) What is your current thesis, even though it will continue to evolve?

Part II: Annotated Bibliography

Also complete an annotated bibliography of at least eight relevant, appropriate, and reliable primary and secondary sources. Sources like Wikipedia, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and news overviews are not acceptable. The majority of your sources should come from scholarly (not popular) publications. Try to include research that takes a variety of opinions and perspectives about your topic into account.

Provide an MLA-style or APA-style citation for each source (remember to remain consistent throughout the bibliography). Under each citation, provide a 125-175 word annotation that:

Briefly summarizes the source (book, chapter, article, interview, etc.)

Identifies the piece’s argument (or main point)

Relies primarily on your own words and phrasing (use summary and paraphrase and limit yourself to one direct quote per annotation)

Discusses the source’s strengths and weaknesses. For instance, does the item offer a good introduction to the issue? Does the item deal with a particular aspect of the issue that is especially relevant to the problem you plan to address in your proposal? Do you find the piece accessible or is it geared to a more specialized audience? Etc.

• Describes how the piece will contribute to your project.
