Paper For Above instruction

The final essay assignment for this course requires composing a 5-6 page response to Magdalena Kay’s article “A New Course.” Along with Kay's article, students must incorporate 3-4 credible, college-level sources from the provided list, which includes Owen and Sawhill’s “Should Everyone Go to College?”, Paul Hiebert’s “What’s the Economic Value of an Arts Education?”, Murray’s “Are Too Many People Going to College?”, Sir Ken Robinson’s “Changing Education Paradigms,” and Zakaria’s “On American Innovation Beyond STEM.” The assignment emphasizes engagement with these texts, critical analysis, and synthesis rather than independent research beyond the provided materials.

The essay should include a clear thesis statement that takes a stance on the issues discussed within the context of higher education, drawing upon the sources to support the argument. Proper MLA formatting is required, including in-text citations and a works cited page. Students are encouraged to plan and organize their essays carefully, ensuring smooth integration of quotations and paraphrases from the sources, along with thoughtful analysis that connects the evidence to their thesis.

It is essential to address all instructions carefully: read and take notes on the articles, define unfamiliar vocabulary, stay on topic, conduct thorough proofreading, and meet the length requirement. Since the paper accounts for 40% of the final grade, adherence to the grading rubric and submission guidelines—via Canvas in acceptable formats (.doc, .docx, .pdf)—are critical.

Throughout the process, students should consult the “Rules for Writers” for MLA guidelines and ensure that all document formatting is correct. The final submission must demonstrate critical engagement with the course materials, thoughtful analysis, and adherence to academic writing standards.
