In this article surprisingly it is actually against athletes getting paid because of the post eligibility school benefits. Especially the fact that these athletes that leave early in hope for a professional gig does not work out they are left stranded, but the huge benefit for these people is that they can comeback and finish out their school degree. It is so easy to go back to college for athletes that all they need to do is have 10 hours of community service hours a week and all the colleges have to do is pay a small fee. What is nice is usually people like these athletes that go back to college will be successful out of it. Also how they are able to bring these players back the university’s revenue from tickets and such they will donate a part of that so players can comeback.

As I assessed this piece this was a really cool article. Shows that you will get your money earned through your education. Now I believe if a school pays an athlete to play a sport they will forget what is the most important, education itself it is the soul reason whether they like or not why they are there in the first place. The thing is the piece is not biased and very credible with the data, facts, and statistics. The information was reliable because I had no idea that the former student athletes came back to school for free, and showed me with facts that it is true. So I really enjoyed reading into this article because as I think for many other people it will open your eyes to see that the money you get is gonna be through the education.

Yes this source was helpful to me because it kept digging down giving me clues that student athletes should not get paid. The source was very helpful and will go back to it for strong examples and facts to back me up. It helped shape my argument that even through busy schedules of these players to opportunity given to them is huge and they can take huge advantages towards it. I can use this source in my paper by having it support my claim strongly. It kept my head on straight towards this topic and cannot wait to find more clues and answers.

Maese, Rick. “Should college athletes be paid? Some lawmakers, and a presidential candidate, say yes.” Washingtonpost.com, 22 May 2019. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A586338340/OVIC?u=ucinc_main&sid=OVIC&xid=2dd40727. Accessed 22 Oct. 2019.

This article is pretty relevant and is asking in a political type of standpoint with democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang. Yang states that everyone knows it is wrong the whole system itself not giving enough money or no money at all. Yang wants the bill to go through every state like California to get money from your name that is being sold to fans. The Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith disagrees strongly with the bill and does not want any NCAA student athlete to get any profit.

The source is somewhat reliable it really only had two people and the NCAA organizations opinion involved on the matter. I do side with the Ohio States athletic director Gene Smith because in all fairness lots of scholarship money go to these students and if they would rather get paid you would have to take out one or the other school scholarship, or being a wage maker.

This source is helpful you see opinions of political figures and also workers inside the NCAA organization sparking fumes of arguments. I can use this when trying to balance and even out the conflicts to show what each side is fighting for and why. It is credible because straight sources are used from the mouths of these people. I can also take this and use it on my body paragraphs when debriefing this topic. My mindset now towards this after reading this article is shaping my head clearer to a better understanding for both sides on what they want and why.

My first source (College athletes should get paid) is about how the NCAA economically get money from the economy like selling to broadcasting televisions to commentate and have the games to be viewable for around $6,200,000,000. They have also stated in the article some of the coaches will earn over $1,000,000 after one season. Then after all the statistics and facts towards that the writer begins to state the injustice in where athletes do not get paid, but they should. Then begins to veer how coaches of these teams are sponsored and get paid for these deals as athletes are left empty in their pockets. Being a student athlete and becoming a professional athlete is rare, but as they try it is hard to keep up with studies and the graduation rate is bad especially for the first 4 years because they have a lot on their plate according to the article.

Assessing the information I see that there is a lot of justified information, facts, data, and statistics to get college athletes paid because of the workload they have upon them throughout the years. You can also say a full ride scholarship is paying you for instance to get an education and to play a sport for the school. At of all honesty is it that hard? As a regular full time student and paying loans they have it a whole lot easier than most. I believe the only way they should get paid is if they sell a jersey or something entitled in its name to get most of the profits.

To conclude and reflect the article was very well, professionally typed to put you in a good perspective of a student athlete. In my opinion at the end of reading it and having it digest it actually made me believe student athletes are paid through their scholarship which is a lot. I understand why this has been coming up a lot as of late, it is only because of social media (a whole different topic to get into) but yes student athletes are paid for their education and playing the sport, does not have to be in a check or in cash money form to prove it.

The article I read called “Play to Play: Should college athletes get paid?” dives in right away the revenue most colleges get and know most of its profit is from sports. A big argument it has in this article is if college athletes got paid they can be able to finish school and graduate school. Then it begins to discuss even though getting paid technically through a scholarship they get no money at all from shoe deals, sponsors, television, and gear sold with their number or even last name on it included also. Especially with games and practices players cannot make it to every class which causes them to fail out or not get the grade they want, so by paying them they can be able to stay on task all the time and get both parts of their job done as a student-athlete.

As I assessed this topic and article this was a lot of a stronger piece than my last source (no offense to the writer of the first source) just because it was short and straight to what it was trying to say. As I assessed my first source I was very strong towards that they are already paid through a full ride scholarship, but the writer from this article made me rethink my thought process of it. I liked how it stated that as schools title these players as student athletes the two words should be switched around. Athletes can never get a perfect attendance because the coaches of their teams drag them out for a game or a practice. If this consistently happens to these types of students I believe a payment should be placed for them so they can keep focus and not lose insight on what is more important, education.

In conclusion after reading this article I am 50/50 on if college athletes should get paid or not. Such a great conflict that could get resolved in 5-10 years or for a very long time. As I keep researching and observing what I have at hand with this argument I believe by following these steps of this I can vividly find myself in the perfect decision to know 100% if athletes should get paid or not.

1. Field research is recording what you see either in written notes, photographs, drawings, audiotapes, and notes from interviews and conversations. The three types are, observations, questionnaires and survey, and interviews.

2. Challenge for observation is not having enough personal experience or more information towards the topic you are discussing. A challenge for questionnaires and surveys is it can be hard to find a reasonable one to use for your work. The third challenge for interviews is finding the right types of experts to get you know your topic better or for what you are trying to find.

The challenge of using a monograph is your not always gonna get what you want out of it.

With articles it can be challenging by if you read along it is either you know it or don’t with the information given in the article.

1. The three interview types are, face to face, phone, and email.

2. A face to face challenge would be not having audio equipment with you and end up not knowing all of what that person said to you. Phone can be challenging when the connection you have is weak or the other persons is, make sure you guys are at a good hotspot to make sure there will be no difficulties. Email can be a challenge because it is not at a personal level so you gotta make it yourself through your email.

3. Make sure you cover only things you need to know and the answers you need. Do not waste their time and have them not waste yours either make it friendly and hostile free and youll get all the answers you need.

• In field research you begin to observe with you can. Recording what you see can be either in written notes or with photographs or drawings. It can be a recording, what you hear as in audiotapes and in notes of interviews and conversations.
• Observations wants you to spring and get what you personally know or want to share. It does not want you to shy away from it but get more involved in this part when gathering information because you could be the one with the best information there is when researching a topic.
• In questionnaires and surveys look at previous ones or make up one and find the best reasonable ones you can rely on when working on assignments.
• Interviews are big especially getting into contact with an expert, by doing that you are able to find out what you wanna know or hear more about.

ASSIGNMENT ONE REFELCTION:

Introduction of case analysis and rhetorical appeals change the way you read “Waking Up and Taking Charge”?. It changed my whole mindset of reading it because you see how and why the essay was setup as it was. The whole piece was to attract and persuade all college students to make them agree with her arguments. You can see how her appeals are trying to pull you in and lure you into believing what she was saying was 100 percent true. So with that case analysis and rhetorical appeals help me shape on what this essays purpose was.

• Misuse of a source includes: Taking material out of context and misrepresenting the viewpoint of the author. Using material without giving credit to a source.
• Keep a research log: Search terms you used, noting which ones were good and which were less productive. Ideas and questions that occur to you while browsing and reading. Notes about catalogs and idexes you searched on any particular day. Complete bibliographical information about each source you plan to use and notes about what the source contains and how you might use it. Personal responses to sources you read and notes about how different sources compare or contrast on the same topic or issue.
• Make and store complete copies of sources that you may use when finding sources.
• Monographs are sustained arguments on a single topic.
• Anthologies are collections of essays and articles usually by many different writers, selected by an editor, who writes an introductory essay.
• Reference books are good for gathering background information and specific facts on your topic.
• Articles in scholarly journals are usually published by university presses and aimed at readers in a particular scholarly discipline.
• Articles in magazines print, online, and the born digital e zines are good sources for short papers.
• Newspapers are ideal sources for arguments and information on current as well as historical issues.

From reading the essay the writer reels you in like a fishhook to make you agree with what she is saying throughout the whole article. What really convinced me was the fact that the bush administration did take budget cuts, but they pinned down students to pay for it while we are fighting in student loan debt. It was an unjust move from the government especially the fact they know tuition goes up every single year. So, the argument and the claim got me convinced because we need to be politically intelligent to where we know what is right and wrong from the government. What opened my eyes is that the government is blindsiding students to pay these fees because we are more of an easy target without any of us knowing. So, as I state throughout the paper you will see the evidence that this writer is baiting us to believe in this using great rhetorical appeals.

I believe the rhetorical appeals mainly used in the essay are emotional. Even at the first sentence it is pouring emotion as in words like “we”, “I”, and “you”. Then personally talking about her experience at Yale and what happened or had seen throughout her time there. Another reason she uses is reason. She states a lot of facts and background on what she is speaking on and logical answers or solutions towards her argument. As she tries to use as much clear evidence as possible you see where she is steering off and going back to an emotional appeal to make everything she is trying to put in our minds more dramatic. As I read it multiple times it came to notice that she just wants you to be on her side her manipulation in this piece is so strong if I only read it once I would still be on her side with no doubt.

If I wanted to tell somebody about this essay I would say strongly read it to get a bigger sense of school and government. Especially if you are a student in debt to get more insight where your money is going and why it is so expensive. If you really do not want to pay large amounts, the writer of this piece is wanting us to be involved and do something to convey the government to make a change. This essay is a very strong evidential piece that could be crucial information to making a change and lowering the tuition. As I say strong evidential the only thing is she was not thorough with the evidence she had at hand, so do not rely on this piece for getting your full knowledge on school tuition and the government. Even though she is saying to start movements or pacs, but at the end of the day she is helping us by just informing on the whole basis of why we have debt, what is making it more expensive, and why. Lastly, be mindful and aware of this essay because it could sneak up on you where she lurers you in to her own opinion whether than on stats and facts.

Have the government make budget cuts that make tuition cheaper and give people in America the now American dream. With college as becoming an necessity in life for most, the federal government is taking it away from so many people because of how high tuition is and the risk of going in debt for a long time people sway away from it. If all of the people in congress, students, and people who are for college and want it cheaper stand up and make a change. I do support with a fair amount of what the author says, but I believe this essay is not strong enough to get the bigger sense of this issue. This essay is a starting point to what will dig us deeper to seeing what the government and schooling should actually do with the debt of tuition. As I said in the beginning of my conclusion bring back the American Dream.
