Persuasive Essay.
Write a persuasive essay based on the Writing for Life assignment in Scenario. For this essay, you are to choose a problem at your school (Florida National University) that you feel needs to be addressed (for example, parking). Within your essay, you are to provide two sources within your work that supports your stance on the problem you have identified.
SCENARIO: Analysis of a Campus Issue
Analysis helps people understand whether an idea is a good one or not, or whether a policy should be followed or not. For example, there was a discussion on our campus about giving the student government the responsibility to operate the student union. The university would allow the students to decide what restaurants and stores would operate in the building, how meeting rooms would be used, and other matters. Interested parties were considering whether this change would be beneficial. An analysis of the issues involved in a decision such as this one could help the decision makers understand what would be at stake, and they could then make an informed choice when they voted on the issue.
On your campus, there are many issues that you might analyze:
• Tuition increases: Tuition increases at one school declined over a period of five years-on a percentage basis-but the cumulative increase for the five years was about 44 percent.
• Extra fees: Why are they necessary? Where does that money go?
• Availability of professors during their office hours (and at other times).
Writing Assignment: Think about what is happening on your campus. Select a complex problem that affects you or others. Construct a report that analyzes the problem and offers insights about it.
You must choose the essay option I have provided for this assignment . If you submit an essay that does not respond to one of the prompts, your essay will not be accepted as an appropriate response to this writing assignment; instead, you will be asked to write another essay that does respond to the prompt you were assigned.
Please note: The required word length for the final draft of this essay is 500-750 words.
Research Requirement : As you read the chapter readings, note how the authors use researched material to support their arguments. To successfully complete your persuasive essay assignment, you must incorporate at least two sources (either credible online sources or library resources) within your work to support and advance your claims . DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA. Any Persuasive Essay Final Draft that does not incorporate research from at least two "outside" sources (sources other than your course textbook) will receive a failing grade . Use the knowledge you gained from completing last week's research and citation exercises to help you develop your essay.
