(We can discuss Quantum Mechanics when you learn enough Esperanto for a discussion. :) Some of these actions seem solid and/or stable, so to simplify our lives we call them "things" As language users, to discuss anything, humans use words . Almost all the words we use are: what kind of word: this is what grammarians call them: action - like to love, to fly, to beautify verb thing - like bird, Fred, beauty noun word describing a "thing" - like big, blue, quiet, beautiful adjective word describing an "action" - like rapidly, beautifully adverb word describing another describing word unfortunately, also called adverbs word that connects words conjunctions and prepositions word that replaces the name of a "thing" - "i", "you", "it", etc. pronouns hey! words that yell interjections Back to the index of "Lesson Zero" Back to Basics Next to Endings > Back to the beginning of the Esperanto at Stanford University and vicinity pages.

Handouts Grammar, Mechanics and Usage Basic Mechanics and Major Errors Proofreading for Commas ... Dr. Valerie Balester Writing With Gender-Fair Language* Concern about the use of sexist language is part of our increased awareness that the perceived meanings of some words have changed in response to the changing roles of men and women in our society. If you write with nonsexist language, you write to represent with fairness the gender identified in many words. Below are some examples of how you can revise the most common sexist usages of gendered pronouns Problem: By using he his , him, she, hers or her as a generic pronoun when the referent's gender is unknown or irrelevant, the writer misrepresents the species as either male or female. Solution 1: Write the sentence without pronouns. Try to avoid conditional structures, generally introduced by if or when , which often require the use of pronouns. Original : If the researcher is the principal investigator, he should place an asterisk after his name. Gender-fair : Place an asterisk after the name of the principal investigator.

[Back to Halsall Homepage Paul Halsall/Fordham University GENERAL EVALUATION RUBRIC FOR COLLEGE PAPERS A MS Word Version of this text [printable on one page] is available Students sometimes do not understand how a paper is graded. The explanation of grading here derives from standards for Advanced Placement exams, and is called a "grading rubric". Note that this is the standard expected of good pre-college students. It outlines basic elements of a good paper, and attaches grades to them. The basic grade of a paper derives from its content. The difference between the higher and lower grades here may depend on issues such as presentation. The Superior Paper (A/A-) Thesis: Easily identifiable, plausible, novel, sophisticated, insightful, crystal clear. Structure: Evident, understandable, appropriate for thesis. Excellent transitions from point to point. Paragraphs support solid topic sentences. Use of evidence: Primary source information used to buttress every point with at least one example. Examples support mini-thesis and fit within paragraph. Excellent integration of quoted material into sentences. Analysis: Author clearly relates evidence to "mini-thesis" (topic sentence); analysis is fresh and exciting, posing new ways to think of the material.
