E. Although the Responsibilities of Students may seem like a feasible topic, it is actually quite poor since varieties of responsibilities exist and they can mostly be agreed on by everyone.

Part 1: Give a general introduction to the problem, including the thesis statement. The thesis statement should present a clearly defined position on a debatable topic.

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) was first implemented in 2010, nine years after I graduated from high school. Although I wasn’t personally affected by the new academic standards, it has a direct impact on the current and future generation of leaders, innovators, and world changers including my future children. The initial purpose of the Common Core Standards is to set high-quality learning goals designed to prepare students to be college and career ready. Given the current controversies surrounding CCSS, studies have shown that although the intent was to benefit students in the long-run it may actually be hindering their mathematical and reading skills. To further explore the arguments behind the Common Core initiative, I will

7. Evaluate the statement: "If there are sacrifices to be made for human progress, it is not essential to hold to the principle that those to be sacrificed must make the decision themselves?"

4. Do you find any evidence of any of Mark’s students taking responsibility for their choices, decisions and/or actions? If yes, give 3 examples, if no, what 3 steps could the students take to become responsible for their lives?

This case involves the Plaintiff, Kelly Pryor, and the Defendant, National Collegiate Athletic Association, in a complex argument that involves racial discrimination under Title VI and the NCAA adoption of Proposition 16 as well as Americans with Disabilities Act and Rehabilitation claims. The court must carefully consider the claims Pryor has brought forth and determine if the discrimination of Proposition 16 was purposefully adopted by adding certain education requirement to ultimately hinder the amount of scholarships awarded to incoming black student athletes. Throughout this case analysis, I will weigh the different evidence presented from both parties and report the court’s reasoning for decisions made in Pryor v.

Disturbingly, “nearly one-fifth of high school students and over 50 percent of middle school students are enrolled in math classes whose teachers neither majored or minored in math” (Drew, 2011, p.9). In 2000, 31 percent of high

This analysis is set to discuss a letter written by Gordon Adams. He is a student at Arizona State University and wants to become a lawyer. However, he finds he must take mathematics courses, specifically college algebra, to graduate and move on into law school. He claims that he does not need to take college algebra because he does not need it in his profession and because if he takes the course, it will delay him into law school. We follow him through his endeavor with ASU's mathematics committee to try to waive his requirement for college algebra. However, he fails at this task and, with every argument, you can't always get what you want in return. Rhetorically, I think his argument to the committee is a good way to write an argument, at least in my opinion.

1. If I were Skip Grenoble, which alternative would you advise Ms. Shannon to implement? What criteria would you use to arrive at your decision?

Part B. Describe two mathematical strengths for each student whose response indicates the need to reteach the math content.

11. Does the author offer solutions to the problems raised in the book? How probable is their success? Can you think of additional solutions?

4. What did the speaker do that was particularly effective in terms of at least two concepts from the above list? Please be specific and use examples from the speech to demonstrate your points.

1b. What is the issue/problem that your proposal addresses and why is it important to the reader?

IV. What is the main problem Breyer describes in Breaking the Vicious Circle concerning United States policy making? What causes it and how does the problem develop? How does it affect business? What solution does Breyer propose? Describe another plausible solution. Which of the two solutions, Breyer’s of that you just described do you consider morally preferable and why? What ethical theory discussed in class best supports your position? Critically assess this theory by contrast with other ethical theories discussed in class.
