I want you to think more in terms of how engineers and economic strategies have already attempted to manage the rerouting of water in some particular time period. You could explore the reasons for success or lack thereof in some particular period of time. This kind of investigation will, inevitably, carry some implications for the present, but I want you to focus on a particular time period\/event\/person so that you can really make a compelling argument. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
For next steps, think about which particular event you want to cover. Is it the construciton of the aqueduct by mulholland? That is a great topic. For a secondary source on that, you should read chapter 4 in the book “The Great Thirst” by Hundley. The main thing here is to thin about this paper as less a prescription for the solution of the water problem and more a description of what’s wrong with it. (First step ahd hardest task for a doctor is to diagnose the problem.)<\/div>\n

I will
\ngrade your essay on three separate categories\u2014content, argumentation, and
\nclarity. Each adds up to third of the total.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Content<\/span><\/b> \u2013 Your essay should deploy
\nevidence from the course to make your point.<\/span><\/p>\n

A \u2013 draws
\nfrom a large body of evidence and effectively integrates evidence into argument<\/span><\/p>\n

B \u2013 draws
\neffectively from a small body of evidence but integrates evidence into argument<\/span><\/p>\n

C \u2013
\ndeploys only a small amount of evidence argument \/ evidence is factually
\nincorrect \/ reflects major misunderstanding of events<\/span><\/p>\n

D \u2013
\nEvidence is lacking and false<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Argumentation
\n<\/span><\/b>\u2013 Your essay
\nshould make a strong argument and your paragraphs should drive toward that
\npoint<\/span><\/p>\n

A \u2013
\nArgument is clear, and your organization effectively conveys the subpoints of
\nthe argument<\/span><\/p>\n

B \u2013
\nArgument is clear, but paragraphs are too long and topic sentences do not drive
\nthe argument forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

C \u2013
\nArgument does not engage the prompt or paragraphs seem to support an argument
\nthat the author is not making.<\/span><\/p>\n

D \u2013
\nArgument is missing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Clarity
\n<\/span><\/b>\u2013 Your sentences
\nshould be clearly written. Shorter is generally better. If they are long, they
\nneed to be tidy. For long sentences, parallelism is your friend.<\/span><\/p>\n

A \u2013
\nSentences are clear and effective.<\/span><\/p>\n

B \u2013
\nSentences need some more editing but are otherwise effective.<\/span><\/p>\n

C \u2013
\nSentences regularly require rereading \/ deep reading \/ calling in the
\nphilologists to interpret.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

D \u2013
\nSentences are not sentences at all but fragments and run-ons.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
