Guiding Notes:
Begin by reading the topic prompt carefully and then write down your ideas on a piece of paper as a sort of free writing activity. You may need to brainstorm your ideas individually or in the class as a class activity. (Thinking about the topic).
Read at least two sources/references to get more ideas about the topic you are researching. While reading, write relevant vocabulary items that can help you in enriching your vocabulary. You may be guided by the word categorizing chart on page 92. (Reading about the topic)
Summarize and paraphrase the relevant points to your essay from the two texts you have read. You may quote some ideas but use quotation marks and in-text citation.
Use the MLA style referencing format in your in-text citations and end-text references. See the following cites to help you in your referencing:
http://www.library.cornell.edu/resrch/citmanage/mla
http://www.mla.org/style_faq
Write an outline for your essay, guided by the format introduced in the book:
Unit 2: Process Analysis Essays, pp.56-57
Unit 3: Cause and Effect Essays, pp. 84-85; or
Unit 4: Argumentative essays pp. 96-97
Use your brainstorming notes, reading notes and outline to write your first draft on a separate piece of paper.
Edit your essay by first checking the content, eliminating irrelevant ideas, adding more support information and examples, etc. Use the Editor’s Checklist in the book to help you (p. 85 and p. 103).
After fixing your content, proofread your essay for language and mechanics errors. Make sure you use the suitable connectors to help you to form links and make your essay more coherent. Make use of the checklists on p. 79 and p. 108.
Rewrite the whole essay, type it, and then upload it on the LMS before the deadline to check the turnitin similarity percentage, and then do the necessary modifications.
NOTE: Evidence of consulting e-library sources will be an added asset.
The following are guidelines on plagiarism:
If you submit an assignment that contains work other than yours without acknowledging your sources, you are committing plagiarism. This might occur when:
• Using a sentence or phrase that you have come across
• Copying word-for-word directly from a text
• Paraphrasing the words from the text very closely
• Using text downloaded from the Internet
• Borrowing statistics or assembled fact from another person or source
• Copying or downloading figures, photographs, pictures or diagrams without acknowledging your sources
• Copying from the notes or essays of a fellow student
(Slightly adapted from OU document on quoting versus plagiarism)
It is important to remember that plagiarism is strictly barred and would be subject to punitive action by the Arab Open University.
