Read Right #5

This exercise will do 2 things:

1) This exercise will work to word and sharpen student thesis statements and thesis questions for essay 1.

2) This exercise will work to help students develop logical solutions related to their thesis questions and root causes.

Students are expected to provide their replies directly in the submission box provided on this assignment.

Read the following instructions carefully on how to complete all 3 parts of this exercise.

Part I: Thesis Statement Development

Students are expected to word and state their essay 1 thesis statement and thesis question in this exercise.

Type out your thesis and thesis question in the submission box provided below.

Proofread and punctuate properly.

The thesis statement must be 1 complete sentence only.

The thesis must contain/state your campus issue ID.

The thesis must state what your overall single objective or ambition is in relation to the campus issue.

Students should use the words should or must in the thesis.

The thesis should be general or non-specific.

The thesis should avoid the following words: because, through, by, and, & but.

Students should use the following words in your thesis: must, should, or has to.

An example thesis might read:

Exploitation of adjunct/part-time faculty at Americas colleges and universities must end.

Part II: Thesis Question Development

After typing out your thesis, state your thesis question.

The thesis question will be a HOW question.

The thesis question must use the exact same words or wording as the thesis.

Keep in mind that your solutions to your issue will be framed using this thesis question.

An example thesis question for the example thesis provided above would read:

How must the exploitation of adjunct/part-time faculty at Americas colleges and universities end?

Part III: Solutions Development

After typing out your thesis and stating your thesis question, provide your 2 solutions.

However, students must state their solutions in direct response to the thesis question stated above.

Your 2 solutions should match the solutions you identified on your essay 1 thesis outline and logically address the root causes from your essay 1 outline as well.

The purpose of this development is to get students to consider how the solutions “half” of essay 1 is in direct connection to the thesis/thesis question.

You may need to reword your solutions some to word them as direct replies to your thesis question.

An example response for this part would read:

1) The exploitation of adjunct/part-time faculty at Americas colleges and universities must end by colleges and universities rejecting a corporate business model focused on low wage labor.

2) The exploitation of adjunct/part-time faculty at Americas colleges and universities must end by colleges and universities valuing higher education not as a commodity or profit-driven.
