FINAL ASSIGNMENT ON THE THESIS OF ART SANDLER'S ESSAY
Paper due in Corbett's email box: June 13th
Assignment # 2C
ASSIGNMENT: Write a single sentence of no more than 15 words which you
put forward as the best possible thesis for the Sandler paper than you can create.
(I am aware you've already done this earlier.)
PRE-WRITING TASKS:
First read all the student discussion of other people's views of the theis.
Be sure to put your name and the number of the assignment at the top of every paper. See
topic of this page for the number of this assignment. Also, please give the brief "name" of the assignment.
Be sure your sentence does not have more than 15 words and is a sentence.
Be sure this is the thesis of the paper as a whole and not just some interesting or partial section of the paper.
GRADING CRITERIAL I WILL USE:
Does the paper reflect a careful reading of Sandler's paper?
Is the sentence indeed a sentence?
Is it 15 or fewer words?
Most importantly is it a plausible and well-expressed thesis statement for this paper?
THE GRADES THEMSELVES:
A grade of A will mean: This is 15 words or less, a sentence of English and a very plausible
thesis statement for the paper as a whole.
A grade of B will mean: This is 15 words or less, a sentence of English, and while
not completely off the mark, is not a very accurate thesis of Sandler's paper.
A grade of C will mean: This is 15 words of less, and a sentence of English,
but it is not a very plausible thesis statement, though it reflects serious aspects of the paper.
A grade of D will mean: At least one of these apply: The sentence is not really
a sentence. The sentence is more than 15 words. The claimed this is not a very serious candidate
for that honor.
A grade of F may mean anyone of three things:
Not turned in at all.
Not turned in on time.
Significant failures to meet the assignment at the level of reasonable university
level expectations of thought, attention to detail, attention to reading or expression. (specifics will be pointed out).
NO ASSIGNMENT MAY BE REWRITTEN FOR HIGHER CREDIT. You are welcome to rewrite them to improve them, and I will happily comment on them. But the original grade will remain as it was on the first and only graded attempt.
