ASSIGNMENT SIX: One of Abraham Lincoln’s greatest attributes may have been his ability to recover and learn from failure. The quality ofperseverance seemed especially useful to him as he struggled with “melancholy” (what might now be called depression).Please read this articleby Joshua Wolf Shenk. Read the full article; it’s worth your time. Your answer should contain information from this article only. Do not use other sources).
Two questions for you to answer:
[a] Joshua Wolf Shenk wrote that one of Lincoln’s adaptation strategies was “transcendence” (rising above or evenusing”melancholy” to achieve a higher purpose). According to Shenk, what was Lincoln’s “higher purpose?” Provide a direct quotation from the article to support your analysis.Be sure to use quotation marks.
[b] What idea or insight in the full article would you recommend to others (a friend, perhaps)?Provide a direct quotation from the article to support your analysis. Be sure to use quotation marks.
*Important reminder:It’s essential to use quotation marks or block indentation when you incorporate any language from any source, including all AIS readings. It’s equally important to avoid a “deceptive” or “patchwork paraphrase” (changing or adding occasional words, but otherwise using the author’s core ideas and phraseology without attribution).Click here for guidance from the University of Wisconsin on the difference between permissible and impermissible paraphrasing.Click here for guidance from Harvard University on the kinds of “common knowledge” you are not required to quote or cite. If in doubt, it’s always prudent to include quotation marks and a citation. Contact your AIS tutor if this instruction is unclear or if you have any questions.

“What is a man If his chief good and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more . . .
He that made us with such large discourse,
Looking before and after, gave us not
That capability and godlike reason
To fust in us unused.”

ASSIGNMENT SEVEN: Please see the filmShattered Glass (Lionsgate, 2004).You should be able to find the filmonline here oron DVD or for free on Amazon Prime oryoutube (with ads). Please identify the source of the film when you submit your answers.
Questions for you to answer:
[a] What scene in the film made the strongest impression on you? Please describe and explain.
IMPORTANT:Since you’ll be seeing this film in digital format, please identify the time in the film when the scene occurred.Answers without this verifiable time identification will be returned.
[b] What habits did Glass develop that proved harmful to him? How can you avoid developing comparable bad habits yourself?
[c] What advice would you give to editors about how to avoid hiring someone like Stephen Glass? What kind of pre-employment screening do you recommend?
A word of caution:We’re not asking you to find outside commentary on this film. You’re being asked to think and write for yourself. Much of what we see online about the film is demonstrably wrong–and an invitation to plagiarism (we monitor two pertinent plagiarism sites in particular).The more students appropriate someone else’s work and submit it as their own the less they expand their own capacity for creative thought.
Repeatedly engaging in academic dishonesty is comparable to aspiring to be a top athlete, but hiring someone else to do all the practice and training.It simply doesn’t work. The failure inevitably becomes apparent on the athletic field and in the workplace. Meanwhile, when dishonesty is detected–as it often is–students are creating educational records damaging to their reputation. Please see thisrelated AIS video.
ASSIGNMENT EIGHT Please readthis decision by the Iowa Supreme Court in an attorney discipline case.
Questions for you to answer:
[a] Why should judges care if attorneys submit plagiarized legal briefs or motions? Please explain your answer.
[b] Attorney Peter Cannon was punished by the courtandby the attorney disciplinary board. Do you think these punishments (taken as a whole) were too lenient, too severe, or about right? Please explain your answer.
[c] The Iowa Supreme Court referred to another case involving attorney plagiarism (Iowa Supreme Court Board of Professional Ethics & Conduct v. Lane).In that case, the punishment
for attorney Lane (suspension of his license to practice) wasmore severe than the punishment imposed on attorney Cannon. What distinction did the court make between these two cases? Do you agree with the court’s reasoning?
[d] The state of Florida requires “personal appearances before the [disciplinary] board forpublic reprimands for disciplined lawyers” [italics added]. Do you think this kind of public shaming is too harsh? Explain.
ASSIGNMENT NINE:
Please read and consider these speeches by Frederick Douglass:
>The Composite Nation (1869) (excerpts)
>Oration in Memory of Abraham Lincoln (1876)
