Throughout this term, you will read books, watch videos, listen to lectures with the purpose of making you a success. Your task is to use at least 6 (SIX) sources from the course and synthesize those sources with the Dominican Tradition for a total of 7 (SEVEN) sources, as references for your personal mission essay. How did these readings and lectures help you? How will the information you have learned guide you? Do not have more than 5 percent of your paper in direct quotes. Do NOT write In week 3 I read
. or When we watched that debate in week
. That is NOT the point of this paper. The information supports your thesis. Think of this as a traditional research paper. How does the information you learned inform your mission?
Remember, you use goals to help you live your mission. This paper is not a list of goals. Goals should be included, but should clearly state your mission in your first paragraph and you should tie the rest of the paper back to it. Please make sure it is 5-full pages. Thanks. Ask yourself, how will I use the course materials to reach the goals Ive set in my personal mission statement? The short answer to this important question is your thesis statement. The essay, then, should support this thesis statement by using the ideas and information youve gained from the course. Demonstrate, through your essay, how well youve understood and have synthesized the readings. (This is not simply a book report or a summary of the readings and videos.) Go beyond simple recall and comprehension all the way to the top of Blooms Taxonomy. The final paper should be 5-7 pages. Please note: papers that are not a minimum of 5 full pages of text will not receive a passing grade. This is NOT a history of your past, this is a look into your future.
