The Professor Of An Upper Level Homeland Security Course At Embry Riddle Aeronautical University

Writing is examined in the first chapter of “Writing about Writing”, a textbook by Elizabeth Wardle and Doug Downs. Not only does it examine articulate writing, but specifically the threshold Concepts of writing: “ideas that change the way you think, write, and understand a subject,” (Wardle, Downs 2011). Terms are used to educate readers, these terms are essential for the writer to better understand how to write, and for the reader to better understand composition. Three terms seem to do this; construct, contingency, and rhetoric.

When producing a paper, it is important to write according to your audience for the best results, you wouldn't explain a topic to an academic community the same way you would explain the topic to one of your fellow classmates. English 111 has been an eye opener to how important this is to a paper. After learning this strategy, I now take the time to figure out who my audience is, find the appropriate information, include the appropriate supporting details, and choose my word wisely to fit the criteria of the

After analyzing many of my written works, I highlighted my writing weaknesses along with notable strengths. Evident in my earlier works, my vocabulary was more basic and was not as powerful unlike my more recent essays. Seeking to improve, I started utilizing words I learned during the year

It is a common occurrence for high school students in their senior year to experience declines in motivation and performance; most call it ‘senioritis.’ When students contract seniorits they become lax, neglecting their homework, turning in late papers, and generally losing effort. The majority of seniors continue on to graduate, only to receive a rude awakening once they enter college. While students may be able to graduate from high school without putting in too much hard work, college is indisputably a different story. In the documentary,”The Expos 5,” five college students provided a first hand look into how they learned to navigate the difficulties of expository writing. I related best to Arpan and Yasmeen, but I learned great lessons from all of the students.

Drones already carry a negative, political connotation. The breaches in sovereignty are a major political issue for involved countries. Yemen, Afghanistan, and Pakistan are examples of the United States’ willingness to conduct military strikes without the consent of the governing body within the country. Furthermore, targeted killings are essentially a means for assassinations, which were prohibited under the Reagan administration. However, this fact is abated, as the killing of Anwar Al-Awlaki (US Citizen) demonstrated. Given all this information, would the usage of US drones in Iraq only perpetuate more violence, or bring stability to the region? This report will seek to answer this question. Utilizing an interview with an Associate Professor of Homeland Security at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), Professor Bonner, as a primary source of research, along with secondary sources from accredited cites, this report will explore the dynamics of the drone program as it pertains to the current situation in Iraq.

An international convention that is used by which states and other subjects of international law, such as certain international group, run the matters of concern to them. The convention assume a difference of form and style, but they are all regulated by the law of agreement, which is part of customary international law. This agenda is a plan of action for human-kind, world and prosperity. It also seeks to build world peace in larger freedom. We understand that eradicating under develop areas in all its dimensions and forms, including extreme under develop areas, is the greatest world test and an indispensable urgency for sustainable development. All communities and all colleagues, acting in collaborative companionship, will administer this plan. We are decided to free the world from the tyranny of under

Under the Constitution of the United States has mandated the government to protect the United States of America from any threat, foreign and domestic. The government must deter and prevent attacks on our homeland and as well as deter and threats from potentially occurring. Following 9/11, the Department of Defense has been entrusted with the role in the management of risks facing the United Sates.

After reviewing my previous essays, I’ve noticed my word choice needs improvement. By using a thesaurus, I can search for words that say exactly what I want to say. Often I make mistakes by not proofreading my essays, reading my paper out loud can help me correct run on sentences and to make sure my argument is being stressed to my

I enjoyed reading your post, it was very brief and interesting to read. Terrorism is definitely a top threat to homeland security and it should be at the top of the list in all homeland strategic documents that deal with homeland security. Even The Strategic National Risk Assessment in Support of PPD 8 and The 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, which are two important publications that deal with homeland security, they both recognize that terrorism is the number one threat to homeland security (Department of Homeland Security, 2011) (Department of Homeland Security, 2014). One of the reasons is because the occurrence of terrorist attacks around the world have significantly increased in recent years. Moreover, a terrorist attack is

Although I have gotten better at writing, there are still areas for me to work on improving for the future. One item is my word choice. I want to add more complex words to my writing in order to make it more interesting for the reader, and I also want to try not to repeat “basic” words as much. This semester, I have really focused on those two areas by using an online thesaurus to find better replacements, and I will

Flateby (p 190) argues that critical and creative writers must use descriptive words. I am now able to utilize descriptive words in my writings that are capable of creating a scenic imagination to the reader. I am also able to write a reported speech. These are writing skills that I gained after writing the paper on Obama’s acceptance speech. I believe that these are very critical skills that will help me throughout my entire course and even after my studies.

Over the course of this past semester, my ability to write has improved tremendously. Prior to undertaking this course, my expertise in writing was not as fine-tuned as it should have been. I had never previously been enrolled in a class specifically tailored to writing-- which was quite clear. Upon reading my past works, it becomes apparent that my writing style consisted of fluff, small words, and inconsistently structured sentences. These problems have, for the most part, been remedied with the coursework I have tackled in College Writing. Rather than long, drawn out papers that take an eternity to reach the primary point, my recent work is much nicer in terms of composition and grammar. I credit these improvements to the three primary

In writing it’s important to have an understanding of what you’re trying to convey for your audience in addition to how you you will present your ideas. Effective communication extends beyond having well organized writing expressed in complete and coherent sentences. The style, tone and clarity of writing must also be considered, as they are constantly changing relative to the audience. Again, analyzing one’s audience and purpose is essential to successful writing. Appropriately, when choosing the most effective language, it is important to consider the document objective as well as the reader. In essence, this idea of effective use of language has been the overarching theme of this online English course. Each writing assignment
