Assignment 3: A Comparison-Contrast Essay

________________________________________

Comparison-contrast writing is based on one of the most common thinking strategies that people employ. By writing these essays, however, you will learn to apply systematically an approach that you have, no doubt, used intuitively.

________________________________________

For this project, write a comparison-contrast essay (600-800 words) that, once again, has some connection with your field. Consider these kinds of possibilities or develop a set of topics on your own:

• Two supervisors

• Two teachers of similar courses in your major

• Two practitioners in your field

• Two sub-specialties in our field

• Two working environments

• Two journals in your field

• Two conferences or organizations for people in your field

________________________________________

• Follow MLA guidelines for manuscript form (see Beacon 550-52).
