Decision making strategies Assignment 13

Read the following three situations. Describe what you would do in the
> situation. Integrate the elements of reasoning and/or intellectual
> standards in your writing to show a textbook understanding of the material
> behind your personal example. Your work should be 500-600 words and
> integrate specifics into either the elements of reasoning, the intellectual
> standards or both. Do not worry about your answers being right or wrong –
> you are going to be graded on your connection to the material – not the
> behavior you would engage in if it happened to you.

> medicinal purposes to help her with her pain. How would you respond to your
> partner?

> *Scenario C:* As a parent, your child has a first year teacher who gives
> ridiculously hard assignments. Your kid has a four year scholarship waiting
> for him if he can pass this last course – even with a C. The last
> assignment is an assignment that you did your graduate work on – so you
> know there’s no way a high schooler should be expected to do this
> assignment – but if your child fails this assignment, they would lose a
> four year scholarship. Do you actively help them complete the assignment –
> or let them do it themselves – knowing they can’t do the assignment
> themselves and the assignment is likely to be poor because it was an
> inappropriately assigned paper.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
