Now that the actual Research Paper is in our sites, it will be helpful to look at a successful one closely.
Go to this site: http://www.writing.ucsb.edu/faculty/dean/50/2008papers/aiello.pdf , which features an award-winning essay from one of my previous Writing 50 sections (it was named the best Writing 50 paper of the year!)
Read the paper closely, then answer the following questions. Give yourself plenty of time to read it, think about it, and express your ideas.
1. Why do you think this essay was singled out as a good example of a research paper?
2. What do YOU think is the best aspect of it? Why?
3. What do you notice about the research?
4. How does reading this affect your plans for your own paper?
Since you are getting class time to complete this, your response is due by 11 pm this evening.

1. This paper was singled out as a great example for it's ability to flow from start to finish. Because of the powerful evidence supporting each point, you can tell the writer did a thorough job researching his topic and found clear, concise, and relevant information. Also, it is interesting! It did not lull me to sleep like many research papers do.
2.The best aspect of the paper is the professional, academic sound to it. The quotes used kept the paper interesting but did not downplay the scholarly tone to it.
3. The writer gives much explanation and background information for those who may not be as familiar with the topic and history of jazz. The sources he used were well-rounded and touched on everything. They varied in information from each other, but all united and could tie into the thesis.

4.
1. It was chosen due to his great usage of sources for his topic, clarity, vocabulary, and the different field of research he discussed.
2. One aspect of his essay was that he had a previous paragraph that introduce the topic in a general aspect. The second paragraph went more in detailed with his focus or a specific person he wants to relate that topic.
3. The research has a variety of fields. Some of the field that I notice were Civil Right Movement, Black Nationalism, racism, economy, and the music industry. Overall it had many fields that were different and kept the reader entertain.

Как говорилось на Seexi.net Что-то я не взяла в толк,как мне срок поставили. Была на узи вчера. У меня последние месячные были 16 июля. По моим подсчетам у меня выходит в случае в случае если по месячным считать срок акушерский 7 недель и 4 дня,это на момент 06 сентября. А в узи написали,что эмбрион соотв. сроку 6 недель и 2 дня, это срок эмбриона или же акушерский? А внизу вообще написала в заключении срок беременности 6-7 недель. Вчера я как-то постеснялась что ли спросить,не знаю,растерялась что ли.
А так она сказала,что всё на месте и все хорошо. А размер ктр 7 мм.
Ещё у не там линейка кругленькая, вот она по ней посмотрела.
