A critical analysis is critiquing another authors work-not taking a position on content or topic, but rather examining the performance-execution of words, effectiveness as a writer, weight of their point-how they support it, & the strengths + weaknesses.
I was given an assignment, & I have to prepare for a final tommorow. I'll have 90 mins to hand write an essay. We're allowed to take notes, & i'm a bit stuck on what sort of format I should take, or what's the best to make an outline, for this specific type of paper?
I know how to write a regular, basic composition; I just thought there might be some certain methodical questions to keep in mind, to follow in steps to get the piece written.

For instance- Paragraph A: I introduce the author
Paragraph B: I mention the thesis
Paragraph C: I present what I thought he wanted the readers to take away
Paragraph D: I state my interpretion of his point
and, so on, that's just an example of the kind of answer i'm hoping for.

Thank you!

A train that travels a certain distance can go faster if the distance is farther, since it has more time to speed up and slow down. If this train travels 4 miles, it can go an average speed of 12 miles per hour. if it goes 8 miles, it can go an average speed of 14 miles per hour.

can you please show me how you set up the problem.

a. write the average speed as a linear function of the distance traveled.
b. what is the average speed of the train if it goes 10 miles?
c. write the time it takes to make a trip as a rational function of the distance
d. How far can the train go in one hour? what is its average speed?

I have a severe math learning disability, I failed math every year i've taken it and I've made up most of those credits with summer school. I failed again last year and for whatever reason was ineligible for summer school again so they made me pay $125 to take a night school course to make up the credit.

So I get into this class, and I'm failing AGAIN because of my disability. I'm doing everything I possibly can to get by in this clas but it's just not working at all and I've noticed this:

1. Half the kids in the class just talk the whole time and cheat off of each other
2. another bunch of the kids actually know all the answers and can do this effortlessly, but are here because they were too lazy to even try in school
3. A few of the kids got up and changed the grade of their last test when teacher was out of the room.

What the hell can I do? I'm really trying my best and it's getting me nowhere and if I fail I won't gaduate and my life will be crap from here on out!

I have done a lot of research and find that there is just too much to read. I would just like to hear from a few people with the disease...

I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS:

1) Do you suffer from joint pain in conjunction with ulcerative colitis? IF SO, HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT?

2) WHAT TIME OF DAY IS IT THE WORST? (For me, it seems to be at night.)

3) DOES ANYONE TAKE ASACOL AND/OR 6MP (aka Mercaptapurine or Purinethol) FOR MAINTAINANCE? These are the drugs I take. I was under the impression that these drugs help to keep my intestines "calm". Is it possible that they also help keep my joint pain down too? Admittedly, I've been lax in taking my meds lately and have noticed joint pain. Is it possible that my meds were alleviating the joint pain and I didn't notice it until I got lax in taking them?

Thank you for your time answering this : )

PS I see a doctor regularly. I will be seeing him in a few months. I just wanted to hear from people in similar circumstances.

So I am finished with my basics at at a Junior College and want to go to a University for Architecture, bad thing is I waited to long to send my transcript, (it is due by March 1, 2007) and I should have sent it earlier while I had a 2.95 GPA. Now that its December I have finished with my JC courses and I got a D on one of my classes which is gonna drop my GPA. Anyone know if I can submit my old Transcript which was dated for early december or do I have to submit my most current transcript which will show my changed GPA for late December??? Do you think the School will want to see my most current GPA and question me as to why I did not show my additional classes that I had completed?

Not Homework.

An acrostic poem is a poem in which the first letter of each line spells out a word. Example:

Garbage

Grounds (coffee)
Apple (core)
Rinds (mellon)
Banana (peel)
Anchovies (from a pizza I wouldn't eat)
Grapes (too ripe to eat)
Emptying the stinking bag (my job)

Hi, we have a handful of Jehovah's Witness children in our school. They are aged 5 to 7 and I'm looking for ideas on how to practice inclusion when at this time of year the whole school has gone Christmas mad. In normal RE lessons they just go to a different class but that is not working at the moment as there are too many carols being sung, decorations being made, plays rehearsed etc. all over the school

I just got my WISC results, and unfortunately my IQ is only 81.

However, I am usually seen as gifted by my teacher and friends, and score exceptionally well in all of my subjects. Could I be rejected from a job if my IQ was too low?

I was supposed to go to an AA meeting and write about it for a class and the paper is due today. I didn't go to a meeting (I know, my own fault and I should have).

Today is the last day of class also.

Would it be better for me to find a paper on the internet and change the words around a bit or just show up to class without it?
