Reading Questions

by admin | Mar 14, 2022 | Subjects>English, Writing Styles>APA 7th edition

For each reading we do this quarter, you will complete 5-6 reading questions. These questions are intended to get you actively engaged in the reading. It is crucial that you do the reading for this course, and being an active reader will aid your comprehension and understanding. These questions should help you be more targeted in your reading and therefore get a better sense for whats at stake therein. Furthermore, these questions will provide you with a study guide for the quizzes as the quiz questions will be taken directly from the reading questions. 

Instructions: 

1. In your responses, include only your name, the questions, and your answers to the questions.
2. Number each question accordingly.
3. Write in complete sentences.
4. Write at least four sentences.
5. USE ONLY THE SOURCE PROVIDED Beyond the Social Contract.pdf. 

a. In the first sentence, either paraphrase or directly quote the answer from the text. Provide the page number from which your drawing your answer. For our purposes, the page number alone will suffice. 

i. To paraphrase, state the answer in your own voice. The ideas remain the same, but the wording changes. 

b. In your second sentence, begin to articulate your own ideas about the text. Either articulate what confuses you, state what you take the author to be arguing, or apply the authors arguments to your own experience. 

Grading 

1. I will not count off if your answer is incorrect as long as you answer in complete sentences and write at least four sentences. Dont be nervous about getting things wrong. Rather,   the purpose of these questions is to get you to read. You can and should be confused at the outset of a reading. My job is to help you navigate this confusion and achieve a better      understanding by the time weve completed the semester.
2. Points will be taken off if your answers are not in complete sentences.
3. Points will be taken off if page numbers are not provided for answers given in the first sentence.
4. Points will be taken off if you do not have at least a second sentence in which you expand  upon the first sentence.

 PLEASE ANSWER EACH DISCUSSION QUESTION. 

MODULE 7 DISCUSSION 1

For the purpose of this hypothetical question, assume that the actions occur in the fictional county of Roar in the fictional state of Lionsville.

___________________________

You represent 30-year-old, Todd Holms, who has been convicted at trial of first-degree homicide. Todd suffers from severe and chronic depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. He has suffered with these mental illnesses for the past eight years and, as recently as last year, been admitted into a psychiatric institution as a result of these illnesses. The prosecution will be asking the jury to impose the death penalty since the victim in the case was only 10 years old. Argue to the judge why it is appropriate for the jury to hear the mitigating factors in this case which would lessen a potential death sentence for your client. In your argument refer to the law according to the cases of Ring v. Arizona, 536 U.S. 585 (2002) and the case of Smith v. Texas, 125 S. Ct. 400 (2004).

 – CASES ARE ATTACHED 

MODULE 8 DISCUSSION 1

For the purpose of this hypothetical question, assume that the actions occur in the fictional county of Roar in the fictional state of Lionsville.

___________________________

You are the prosecutor in a rape case against defendant, Larry Stall. During your investigation in the case you become aware that DNA was discovered on the victim that does not match the DNA of the defendant, Stall. You choose not to disclose the DNA evidence to the defense. Larry Stall is thereafter convicted of the rape charge and is sentenced to 20 years in prison. What should be the result here and why?

MODULE 8 DISCUSSION 2

For the purpose of this hypothetical question, assume that the actions occur in the fictional county of Roar in the fictional state of Lionsville.

___________________________

Assume the same set of facts as Discussion One but now know that the laboratory, which is hired by the prosecution to perform the DNA analysis of the defendant, makes an error. The error results in a DNA match to Larry Stall where there really is none. As the defense counsel could you still argue for prosecutorial misconduct? Why or why not?
