Review the article by Paul Roberts called "How to Say Nothing in 500 words."If a student wrote an essay on whether or not FGCU should have a football team targeted to FGCU students and faculty the first sentence of the essay was, "FGCU currently does not have a football team," what tip is being violated?
- Avoid obvious content.
- Call a fool a fool.
- Slip out of abstraction.
- Take the less usual side.
Correct Answer

A. Avoid obvious content.

Explanation

The tip being violated in this case is "Avoid obvious content." The first sentence of the essay stating that "FGCU currently does not have a football team" is considered obvious because it is already known information to the target audience of FGCU students and faculty. To avoid obvious content, the student should have started the essay with a more engaging or thought-provoking statement that goes beyond stating the obvious.

Producing is the last stage of the writing process.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The statement is true because producing is indeed the final stage of the writing process. After going through the prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing stages, producing refers to the act of creating a final version of the written work. This involves formatting, proofreading, and making any final adjustments before the writing is considered complete and ready to be shared or submitted.

- What is the average age of my readers?

- What is the marital status of my readers?
Correct Answer

A. What is my relationship with my readers?

Explanation

The question "What is my relationship with my readers?" is a question that a writer might ask when analyzing his or her target audience. This question is important because understanding the writer-reader relationship can help the writer tailor their content to meet the needs and expectations of their audience. By knowing the nature of the relationship, the writer can determine the appropriate tone, level of formality, and level of familiarity to use in their writing. This question helps the writer establish a connection with their audience and effectively communicate their message.

Review pp. 2-21 in your A&B text and answer this question.Which of the following is an example of a closed form of writing.
- A blog post
- An email to the professor regarding a grade
- A journal entry
- An exploratory paper
Correct Answer

A. An exploratory paper

Explanation

An exploratory paper is an example of a closed form of writing because it follows a specific structure and format. It typically begins with an introduction, followed by a body that explores different perspectives or ideas, and ends with a conclusion. The purpose of an exploratory paper is to investigate a topic or problem and provide a comprehensive analysis. In contrast, a blog post, an email to the professor, and a journal entry may not adhere to a specific structure or format, allowing for more flexibility and personal expression.

The statement "Blogging is one way to generate and explore ideas" is false. While blogging can be a platform for sharing ideas, it is not the only way to generate and explore ideas. There are various other methods such as brainstorming, discussions, research, reading, and personal reflection that can be used to generate and explore ideas.

Watch the video on Developing a Good Research Question. Answer this question. What is the first pitfall in Developing a Good Research Question video?
- Obvious answer demanding no real analysis
- Question too broad
- Vague question; unclear goal
- No research question
Correct Answer

A. No research question

Explanation

The first pitfall in developing a good research question, as mentioned in the video, is not having a research question. This means that the question lacks a clear and focused goal, and there is no specific inquiry or problem that the research aims to address. Without a research question, the study lacks direction and may not provide meaningful findings or contribute to existing knowledge in a particular field.
