Portfolio & Final Paper MUST BE SHARED & Properly labeled TO joseph.costal@stockton.edu by 11:59pm, Monday, December 12th.
Answer the following with the preface: Does your final paper:
1. ...have approx seven pages of body work (Not including formatting pages)? If not, how can you add length without adding fluff?
2. ...have proper formatting (12-point, double-spaced, one-inch margins, Hacker approved APA-style?)
3. ...have an interesting, original, and relevant title?
4. ...have an effective, divisive attention-grabbing introduction that provides necessary background

5. ...have a specific and explicit/implicit thesis statement that evinces the main issue and the writer’s position? Is it argumentative? Does it contain a subordinate clause to drive complexity?
6. ...have logical development? Does each paragraph flow into the next, using the thesis as a road map to "fulfill the reader's anticipation?"
7. ...have sufficient supporting evidence? Does the paper employ strong ethos such as facts, statistics, examples, and expert opinions? Is this support connected to the thesis in a meaningful way? In other words, is it relevant, accurate, and representative?

Class #21: Monday& Wednesday, November 30, 2016: The Final Paper Prompt
Final Essay #6:
I have shared my belief that yours is a generation experiencing some degradation in terms of gender or sexual roles. Women are overly valued aesthetically but undervalued as leaders, professionals and artists. Women are succeeding ten times more than men in academia, but they still play second-fiddle to men in the world's most powerful professional positions.
CLASS #21: Monday & Wednesday, November 30, 2016: FAMILY CONFERENCE REQUIREMENTS
PHASE ONE OF FINAL PAPER DUE @ Family Conference, Wednesday, December 7, 2016
(final paper and portfolio due at 11:59pm, Monday, December 12th)
Come to class next week with the following prepared:
Conference Assignment: Please have the following information ready for submission during our conferences. All components must be typed and professionally presented:
2. Working Thesis
3. Annotated Bibliography
1. The working outline is a very important first step that serves as a guide for your entire paper. Follow any form you feel most comfortable with (See Hacker for a variety of outlining methods if confused). The outline should give me an idea of how you plan your paper…point by point at least…example by example if you wish. There should be a bullet-ed component for each paragraph. Keep in mind that this is the mode by which you will also present your research. Remember that good development "systematically fulfills the reader's expectation."
