Essay Instructions: POSITION PAPER
Position Paper (15%) Assume that McGill’s Principal, Dr. Heather Monroe-Blum, has issued an open invitation
to McGill students to express their opinions on academic integrity and grade inflation ??" two areas that pose
major problems for both universities and their students. She is looking for short (1- to 2-page) position papers
that will tell her how concerned McGill students are about these issues, exactly what they think the problems are,
and how they would like to see the problems resolved. Choose only one of these topics, either “academic
integrity” or “grade inflation.” Read at least five short articles on your topic. Then write a memo or a letter
expressing your views on the subject to Dr. Monroe-Blum. Remember that you are not writing an essay on your
topic. You are examining how your topic affects McGill. You are taking a position, expressing your opinions,
making useful suggestions to your reader. Include a short annotated bibliography in APA style with your paper.
Tips
1. Topic: Be sure to narrow your topic and define it clearly for the reader. For example,
you cannot say everything about academic integrity (honesty); it is just too broad a topic.
You might discuss cheating on exams, or copying papers from the Internet, or not giving
proper credit to your sources, or buying term papers. You might talk about how
technology is affecting students’ honesty. You might talk about photocopying textbooks
or parts of textbooks to save money, or selling or sharing your class notes with a student
who hasn’t attended class.
There are many, many ways to practice honesty in school or to be dishonest, but you
cannot discuss them all in a short paper. In the beginning of the paper, define your topic
and tell the reader which two or three aspects you are going to cover.
2. Organization: Remember to use memo headings if you are writing a memo. Use
letter format for a letter. Arrange your argument in a persuasive structure. The easiest
pattern is probably the problem-solving framework you used for your last assignment:
Define the problem and subproblems.
Explain why it is significant to you and your reader.
Explore the causes.
State the most likely solutions.
Give the strengths and weaknesses of each solution.
Recommend the best solution or solutions.
3. McGill Connection: Don’t forget that you are writing specifically about how your
topic applies to McGill. The Principal doesn’t want a paper on the topic of academic
integrity. McGill has several papers on this topic published on its website already. (See
http://www.mcgill.ca/edu-sao-archive-june1/integrity/ )
She wants to know how YOU feel about the topic, what YOU think is wrong, what YOU
would like to change about the way McGill is handling the problem.
4. Documentation: Don’t forget to support your argument with information from your
sources. Be sure you don’t just repeat what your sources say, but use the information to
support YOUR OWN ARGUMENT.

Does England Have the Solution to the Grade-Inflation Problem?

?A's for Everyone!? by Alicia C. Shepard
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/02/AR2005060201593.html

pay attention:
When you use reference you have to use those reference from those three articles.

Prompt

In the three texts we?ve read for this unit, Shepard, Uva, and Tworek each share their views on the issue of grade inflation and its potential effects on schools. For this assignment, develop an argument that 1) expresses a position on the effects of grade inflation on people and society and 2) supports your position with evidence from these texts (and from your own personal experience if you can).

* Do you think grade inflation has had a positive or negative effect on the way people learn?
* Do you think that the evidence proving the existence of grade inflation is convincing?
* What are the causes and consequences of grade inflation?

Support your position with evidence from the texts. You will need to employ synthesizing techniques (not a summary of each author?s entire article) by organizing your argument around topics and common themes, and identifying connections among the texts. This means that not everything the author writes in his or her article will be relevant to your essay. Take a position on this issue, and support your choice in position with evidence from the texts. You will also need to counter-argue the viewpoints that are different than your position. That is, you will need to acknowledge what other people believe and then explain why your position is best.

The best way to accomplish this is to organize your paper by IDEAS/THEMES rather than sources.
