Thread: Homework help...

can you isolate your inner upper chest! or lower abs!!

Do something about cooking ( preparing food, ingredients, spices,temperature, oils...ect) most of them probably barley know how to use a microwave...................impress them with your culinary knowledge......

Plus it will be hard for the teacher to give you a bad grade when he/she/mino lee has no idea how to prepare food like a chef...

Do it on a local campus problem, students will connect with it a lot more. Like here at USC, parking is a mother fucker, and seniors get no priority over freshman, it's totally first come first serve which is bullshit when you've been having to walk a quarter of a mile to class every day for the past three years and some freshman gets a garage spot because they put their money down first.

Yeah, but what about? The type of paper is argument.

Wow, not a bad idea.

Argue a students view vs. administrative view, like the ever increasing tuition yet where is it going or the lack of access to ticket distribution to students living off campus. Doing a topic that students see in the news every day, like Iraq, hurricanes or rioting puberty bastards in France will only make people form opinions against you but if you pick a campus problem that most kids can relate to, they will like that others think it is a problem too, and will be more attentive since it deals with them personally, not someone on another continent.

Parking is an ever-ongoing problem here at USC. So much that it has become a standard to gauge other problems agains, like "Lack of campus police after dark is not yet as bad as parking" and everyone can relate to it because it affects everyone, and when something like parking is so shitty that thousands of students can agree on it, it's good to hear people speak out against it. It creates a mob mentality.

For my English 110 my topic was the Atkins Diet... tore that diet to pieces.

Just do it on something that interests you (fitness related?) and that there will be a lot of information about.

I hated parking - I usually ended up walking a lot to class, but then I was on south campus (damn...back then...it was the tall apartment building for grads/faculty across from one of the baseball diamonds - Whaley Drive.

Naturally, most of my classes were in the Coliseum, but even when I drove over there, I had to fight to get a parking place in those lots. Things I don't miss about Columbia: parking, nothing much in the student center, and those giant palmetto bugs. Yeah, and the crappy liquor laws and stupid private clubs.

Things I miss: Little Five Points and football/basketball games, my old friends who are all moved on now and the chicken salad and milk shakes at Sandy's.

Oh yeah. . .on topic. . .Shae, you can always compare free weights with machines and argue for working out with one or the other for beginners - or gear it to the ladies. If it's just a paper and you don't have to read it/speak to the class, angle it so it will get attention from the teach. . .

For one thing, don't you even think of writing a paragraph that lasts the whole page. . .as a teacher who has to read scores of that stuff every semester, that's the first clue that I'm gonna have to get voodoo dolls and line them up along the desk with a big box of pins to get that class in line.

Now just remember to also back up each major point with information/evidence, and if you think the teach doesn't know the source very well, explain it a little in the paper or in the bibliography at the end of the assignment.

And unless you have different instructions, make sure your conclusion kinda rehashes the main argument points again. . .

To beer or not to beer, that is the question.

An argument paper based from the U.S. usually consists of:

I. Introduction

II. Supporting paragraphs, 1, 2, or 3.

III. Conclusion


An "argument paper" can be in support or opposition of many topics you can think of. You could think of a topic that you are interested in, or care about.

haha, damn you went to carolina? All my classes are in the physical science center and GSRC, and there was one student lot near here but it got torn down to make way for heavy equipment storage or something, so I have to walk far as hell or take the bus, which are always late due to all the damn trains. Nowdays behind the coliseum is about the only place you're guaranteed to get a spot. My friend parks there then walks to the business school. I still go to Sandy's from time to time because their chili dogs are damn good.

Yep...M.A. in Journalism from Carolina, 1995. . .and Carolina was the first place I ever had a Slaw Dog. . .Sandy's was great! I had the best time there - and I remember all those damned trains, too. I liked the city, except downtown was pretty dead and I hated that liquor store next to campus with that stupid separated entrance if you wanted hard liquor - then you had to go into the other side to buy any beer. Pizza kinda sucked there too, but I had lived in Chicago so I had been spoiled. But I really liked the climate and made a ton of buds there. . .I think my last bud moved to Louisiana from Laurens a couple of years ago.

I used to drive out to Columbiana Centre some weekends for the cheap midnight movies. . .and we'd look for seedy private clubs to drink so we wouldn't have to pay $30 for a damned membership. Hated those stupid mini-bottles, except we'd always buy two or three before last call and stick them in our pockets, order a Coke and keep drinking until they threw us out. . .hehehe.

I've been back three or four times - everyone is gone now, of course, except some of my professors at the J-school there. . .the football games are great - I've been invited back to speak to classes about research but didn't get to hang out too much.

ask the UNITXXL he seems like a real bright spark

I did the repeal of the anabolic steroid control act of 1990 for a paper like that

Haha, Green's is the liquor store. They have great prices and it's cheaper if you pay cash, but they do stupid shit like take your picture if you're under 25 for some reason. They actually just got rid of the mini-bottle law a year ago, but not many restaurants have switched because none of the bartenders know how to make drinks.
I don't have any personal experience with the J-school. I'm a chemistry major trying to get into grad school so I only go in Jones PSC and the new Graduate Science Research Center. I find it shocking that you like the weather. I think that's the worst part. It gets hot as shit here in the summer, and going outside for more than 20 seconds means you'll sweat your ass off for the next 20 minutes.

101 class...I agree stick to that format....why don't you pick a current event that interests you.

You seem pretty political, go with that. If you ever want some one to proofread let me know.

i have the exact same paper to write...im in an english 101 class too, same topic too....if you need any ideas or anything just ask.

I suppose you're referring to Shae, but I teach this in writing to university students.

Saigon, Vietnam.


Right now I only teach Korean privates, but in the past I taught at (U.S.)companies, and some language schools. General English, TOEFL, TOEIC, Children, etc.

Well, I had been living in Chicago - where every now and then I had to take a jacket to work downtown in May/June. So the hot summers were brutal in Carolina, but I like summer, and spring was incredible there. Heck, I was working for the dean in the J-school in the summer, so I didn't get out in the heat so much, and of course a gang of us would go out late at night to drink (like 11).

I hated having to fight off those giant palmetto bugs though - those damned things were like flying kamikazes - they'd stare you down and come at you like a sumo wrestler.

Besides, it was great to only wear a winter coat three or four days a year. . .That damned mini-bottle law NEEDED to go - drinks were always $1-2 more because of those things.
