EDUCATIONAL PLANNING, GOAL SETTING, LEARNING STYLES, AND HIGHER-LEVEL THINKING
Learning Styles
Learning is the fundamental mission of all colleges and universities, and it is something that does not stop after graduation. It is a lifelong process that is important for personal and professional success, but has become even more important in the 21st century. Currently, the ongoing growth of information technology, coupled with a knowledge-based economy and increasing global interdependence, is creating a high demand for college graduates who have “learned how to learn” and who can apply their learning skills throughout life in different occupational roles and cultural contexts.

This week we will explore and respond to two narratives: “Learning the Language,” by Perri Klass, ( https://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/04/garden/hers.html ) and “On Dumpster Diving,” by Lars Eighner ( https://scholarworks.umb.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1539&context=nejpp ). As you read, notice how both authors navigate presenting a narrative while shifting into an examination of the broader implications of their experiences.
After reading Klass’ essay, ask yourself what are some areas (jobs, hobbies, clubs, sports, etc.) of your life in which you utilize specialized language? Use your journal to list some examples of the vocabulary that an outsider might find unfamiliar.
After reading Eighner’s essay, answer the following reading response questions:
Describe your initial reaction to this essay, and explain what about the essay caused this reaction. For example, if you were surprised, what specifically did you find surprising?
As Eighner analyzes the contents of the dumpsters, he also analyzes the motives of the people who threw these things away. How do these two levels of analysis shape the essay and contribute to its theme?
How many different types of scavengers does Eighner identify? Describe how they are different and what they have in common.
Eighner’s polished use of language and his vocabulary are sophisticated, giving the impression of an educated and intelligent person. To what extent is this consistent with your previous image of what most homeless people are like?
This essay is powerful in part because of Eighner’s vivid use of detail. Choose any part of the essay describing in detail the contents of dumpsters, and identify in his description the words that most successfully evoke sensory details (visuals, smells, sounds, tastes, or physical sensations).

The core assignment of this course is a documented research paper (1500-2000 words in length, approx. 6-8 pages double-spaced, 12-point font).
The paper should support a thesis statement with information gained from research or investigation.
The paper will not be just a report presenting information but will be a paper that carefully examines and presents your own historical interpretation of the topic you have chosen and your interpretation of the information you have gathered.
The paper may include consideration of problems and solutions, definition of key terms, or may refute arguments against your thesis statement.

To design an interactive solution for a chosen problem area (where currently ine?cacies or inadequacies exist), such that the interactive solution
must
be either a mobile app OR a tablet app OR a website.
Initially you will choose a topic for the project and work on that throughout the semester for all the assessments. The ?nal goal of the project is to present a proof of concept hi-?delity interactive prototype; which may be non-functional in the true sense and ideally comprising of a series of software wireframes. Ensure that your choice of topic is not too minimalistic in nature as for the assessments you will require at least three features/scenarios; where a scenario will be de?ned as the point of when a user initiates an action to the point when the user is (un)successful in completing the action.

Assignment 1.1: Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part I
Prewriting
When looking for information about a particular issue, how often do you try to resist biases toward your own point of view? This assignment asks you to engage in this aspect of critical thinking by playing the “Believing Game.” The Believing Game is about making the effort to “believe” – or at least consider – the reasons for an opposing view on an issue
.
The assignment is divided into two (2) parts.
In Part I of the assignment (
due Week 3
), you will first read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes: “The Believing Game and How to Make Conflicting Opinions More Fruitful” by Peter Elbow. Next, you will review the Procon.org Website in order to gather information. Then, you will engage in prewriting to examine your thoughts.
Note
: In Part II of the assignment (
due Week 5
), you will write an essay geared towards synthesizing your ideas.
Part I -Prewriting:
Follow the instructions below for this prewriting activity. Use complete sentences and adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.
Select one (1) of the approved topics from thewww.procon.orgWebsite and state your position on the issue.(Marijuana is the chosen topic I choose from www.procon.com)
From the Procon.org Website, identify three (3) premises (reasons) listed under either the Pro or Con section – whichever section
opposes
your position.
Foreachof the three (3) premises (reasons) that
oppose
your position on the issue, answer these “believing” questions suggested by Elbow:
What’s interesting or helpful about this view?
What would I notice if I believed this view?
In what sense or under what conditions might this idea be true?”
The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:
Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
This course requires use ofStrayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
This prewriting assignment has no page requirement. There is no requirement at this time to include references in the assignment.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Identify the informal fallacies, assumptions, and biases involved in manipulative appeals and abuses of language.
Create written work utilizing the concepts of critical thinking.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in critical thinking skills and informal logic.
