Outline

Title : Drug and alcohol use course Purpose statement : To persuade audience that having a mandatory course on drugs and alcohol abuse in high school is beneficial for the students because it would educate students on how to make conscientious decisions. Thesis statement : Having a course on drug and alcohol use should be mandatory in high school due to the decision making, health risks, and personal relationships that substance abuse could potential affect. Introduction : A lot of college students do not know the harm of drugs and alcohol now since they were not properly educated when they were in high school. Having a course in high school that is mandatory and that is only about drug and alcohol abuse would be very beneficial to students so that they do not get hurt or effected in a bad way.

proposal arguments

1 strength :-- The topic was overall good to talk about since it was local -- It seemed like it would have maybe a kind of easy fix weakness : --they didn't really talk about a solution --they just said that the advisory for students had a solution, but it would mot likely worsen the problem, which is not a solution at all. 2 strength :-- The thesis clearly states the problem in the authors perspective --also shows how the problem can be fixed with the meal plans outside of the cafeteria. weakness : I think that if the author used some statistics and used some direct quotes from people or websites about the part where women eat more than men and how this solution would be the best would be good for the topic. 3 strength : --The author had really good facts to back up why we should adopt nuclear power -- talking about the climate changes in the atmosphere is really informative since it effects everyone weakness: I think that this proposal may be too big since it is ...

Topic

The topic I want to talk about is that high schools should all have a course on drug and alcohol abuse. I had a class like this in high school but it didn't talk about drugs and alcohol in a descriptive way and they didn't show images or videos of people who took them and the aftermath of it. Since I heard that 2 people from my high school overdosed, I think that this topic would be good for me to talk about.

Cramming vs Scheduled studying University of Iowa Media Tafreshi Cramming vs. Scheduled studying Abstract Students nowadays are spending less time actually studying and more time cramming for classes. Research that has been done over many years that shows that scheduled studying is much more effective than cramming before an exam or a test.

The survey also shows what different types of studying can do to grades and progress overall. Introduction What is the best way to study for the best grade and how?

Intro and Method

Introduction What is the best way to study for the best grade and how? That’s a question that can have so many answers to it. There are different ways to study for school exams and tests. The two biggest known ways to prepare for exams or tests are cramming and studying. Both have been done quite a lot by many students over time, but which one works best and why? Cramming often happens when students procrastinate and put off studying until the last possible minute they can. For people who have a set time and schedule to study, they have much less stress before the test, they can retain information long term much easier, and they can study for less time for an overall long period. This may be simple for some, but for others it is hard since there needs to be a lot of time set aside for organization of planning what times and when to study. For cramming, there are also some benefits of this method. For example, the less time spent studying, people can spend it doing what they want to ...
