* * ** * *A. Purpose of Assignment.The purpose of the assignment is toevaluate the validity of staff reporters’ claim that slangwords have become broadly used enough to reach “all stripes”, stripping the slang of the weight of judgement particularly in the classroom.** * *B. Evaluation of Claim: Valid, Invalid or Fair.To evaluate the validity of the claim, weresearch findings/results in five to seven journal articlesto check whether these findingsconfirmorcontradictthe claim above.

1. If all or most findingsconfirmor corroborate the claim, then the claim isvalid.
2. If all or most findingscontradictthe claim, then the claim isinvalid.
3. If the findings are even or somewhat even in their confirmation and contradiction of the claim, then the claim isfair.

* * *C. Research Steps (+ Video Links below)To complete the research portion of the assignment,please follow these steps(also listed in Module 4) and/or view the YouTube Videos (links below):

1. Go tolibrary.humber.ca.
2. Type yourkeywordsin search field - remember that your research does not have to be limited to Toronto, as whatever applies to other cities also applies to Toronto.
3. Check Available Online(or Full-text online) andJournal Article.
4. Read preview/article tolocate ‘findings’ (results) of interesting article titles.
5. Download/view thePDFor online article (otherwise, you will not be able to complete the APA in-text citation).
6. Locate thesame findingsyou found in the preview in thebody of the article (go to the end: to discussion or relevant heading)to locate the discussion of the findings and crucially tonote the page number(s) for the in-text citation.
7. When paraphrase the findings, please note the page number and the title of the articles you use to be able to find them again. But remember that for in-text citation, you only need thewriter(s)’ last name(s), the year of publication and page number.

You can do your own research (steps 1 to 3) or you can use the relevant journal articles listed in Module 3 on the course website on Blackboard and then continue with steps 4 to 7.* * *Video Links to Demonstration of Research Steps:

1. Video of Steps 1 to 4:https://youtu.be/MDKYA6f5ocU(Please note that the article used in the video is for demonstration purposes only; your assigned target article - link below - is on Toronto slang. As always, remember to pause, replay and activate captions as the need arises.)

* * ** * *D. Reporting Your Findings (+ Video Link): Writing the Assignment Paragraph.* * *Once you have completed gathering your five to seven findings (and the relevant citation information), you can start writing your validity of claims paragraph in the following order:* * *

1. C-CLAIM: Paraphrase the claim you intend to evaluate (listed in item A. above). Remember to begin with “staff reporters claim that” or “staff writers claim that”.
2. P-PRONOUNCE Verdict: Immediately let the reader know whether you find the claim to be valid, invalid or fair in a short and focused sentence.
3. E-EVIDENCE:paraphrase yourfindings starting with the weakest finding. Remember to add theAPA in-text citation.
4. E-EXPLANATION: after each finding, add your explanation of how/whether the finding confirms or contradicts the claim you evaluate in the paragraph.
5. Repeat steps three and four above several times as you report your five to seven findings: report a finding and immediately explain it; then report the next finding followed by the explanation etc.
6. L-LINK: in the concluding sentence(s), instead of a sum up,explainagain how yourstrongestfindingsconfirmyourverdictthat theclaimis valid, invalid or fair. This conclusion is a synthesis aimed at completing your persuasion of the reader.

Currently prosthetics break down or malfunction a lot, are heavy and seem to be not that functional. Consumers have been waiting for awhile for improvements in these areas, but these improvements have not happened (Biddiss, Beaton and Chau, 2007, page 355).In other words, consumers are still waiting for better prosthetics, and one can safely say that these consumers are frustrated or at least dissatisfied.“Ironically” the simple architecture of upper limb prosthetics dating back to 1912 is still used today despite decades of innovation (Antfolk et. al., 2013, page 51).It is ironic because consumers who believe that the prosthetics have become functional do not realize that they are using a very old technology, dating back to 1912. It is also ironic because of the lack of development of the technology while other sectors are thriving and innovating.Prosthetic joint infection is frequent. (Tande and Patel, 2014, page 330).Given that prosthetics frequently give people infections, it disproves the argument of them becoming functional even though they could be seen as aesthetically pleasing. Even though half an argument is made there, it seems that it would be more important for the prosthetic to be functional rather than aesthetically pleasing.In another study that was conducted the patients complained about the prosthetics including “mechanical failure, cable breakage and joint loosing” as well as “stump pain” when they were using prosthetics and “displeasure” while fitting the prosthetic (Bhaskaran and, Bhat andAcharya, 2013, page 365).This study shows that patients who are users of prosthetics say that they are uncomfortable and that the prosthetics create more problems then ever. Thus the idea that prosthetics are a source of pride is questionable, as they frequently cause infections and often malfunction.* * ** * *F. Validity of Claims Paragraph Rubric.* * *1.
