I set aside a regular time for studying every day. Before I read a chapter, I turn headings into questions so that I know what I’m going to learn. I don’t have much luck following a definite study schedule. I give up if an assignment is difficult. I have difficulty determining important points in lectures. Before class starts, I review yesterday’s lecture notes. I waste time because I am not organized. I focus entirely on my work when I study. I feel uncomfortable reading a chapter unless I’ve read all the headings and the summary first. I don’t bother taking notes on lectures. I get sleepy when I study. I check my lecture notes to fill in any missed words soon after the lecture. I seldom hear a lecture that is well organized. I enjoy learning. Before I begin an assignment, I estimate how long it will take me and then try to beat the clock. Before answering an essay question, I organize what I am going to write. I have difficulty concentrating when I study. Using lecture notes and...

...writing. Course Description RHET 1302 will prepare you for college-level writing while helping you develop your critical thinking skills. Rhetoric is the study and practice of how people communicate messages, not only in writing and speech, but also through visual and digital mediums. In this class, you will develop skills to analyze the way rhetoric, in its various forms, addresses audiences. By paying attention to the strategies that good writers and speakers use to persuade their particular audiences, you will learn to reason better and to persuade others in your own writing, both through rhetorical appeals and through analysis of audience, purpose, and exigency that is at the heart of the study of rhetoric. For RHET 1302, you will read and reread texts and write multi-draft essays. Practically speaking, you will learn skills that you can use in your future course work regardless of your major. Student Learning Objectives • Students will be able to write in different ways for different audiences. • Students will be able to write effectively using appropriate organization, mechanics, and style. • Students will be able to construct effective written arguments. • Students will be able to gather, incorporate, and interpret source material in their writing.

...Greek mythology. Purchase, read, and annotate the play prior to the first day of class. It would be wise to focus your annotation on instances of dramatic irony, images of vision and blindness, and tension between fate and free will. The following literary analysis assignment will be collected during the second week of school. LITERARY ANALYSIS OF DRAMA In a typed, one-page essay, offer your assessment of Oedipus at the end of the play. Was he foolish? Heroic? Fated? Support with textual evidence as appropriate and follow MLA format. II. READING FOR PLEASURE Read a book—fiction or non-fiction—strictly for pleasure. Strong readers and writers have a wealth of textual experiences and a vast amount of background knowledge from which to draw. The most important aspect of this assignment is that you select a work you will enjoy reading. During the first week of class, you will conduct a book talk over your selected work in which you will “sell” the experience of reading your book to your peers, so pick something good! Some suggestions for selecting your “reading for pleasure” book include, but are not limited to: * Classic works of literature from an era, author, or genre you know and enjoy * Contemporary literature from the New York Times Bestseller List * Works of “Representative Authors” from College Board * Non-fiction works about a time period or person of interest to you III.

...point that was referenced several times in this article is with the increased protection of whistleblowers that the act now provides many are now incentivized to report wrongdoing. As a result, it would behoove executives to institute a corporate compliance program and code of ethics. This was a very informative paper which provides insight into how senior management must set the tone for the organization in the standard of ethics and what is tolerated when any wrongdoing may occur. Frey, Kelly L., Taney, Francis X., Wucher, Robert. “The Top Five Tips Every Technology Executive Needs to Know About Sarbanes-Oxley.” Exec Blueprints (2008): Print. The authors, two of whom are lawyers and the other an IT executive, provide a high-level, summary overview of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and how it relates to decisions that every IT executive within a public company must make. Much of this document is centered on section 404 of the act, which details regulatory compliance language that these firms must now abide by. Information security systems and management must design IT systems that comply with section 404. This is a very informative article geared towards executives who must have an understanding of the IT security and compliance systems and processes required by Sarbanes-Oxley.
