Abstract
This paper explains that Australia is underpopulated as far as its size, but over two-thirds of the population resides in any one of the ten major cities on the coast, which makes Australia one of the most urbanized counties in the world. The author points out that, even though the national language in Australia is English, the accent, style of speaking, and parts of the traditional vocabulary greatly differ from American English and is slightly difficult to get a grasp of in the beginning. The paper lists many social customs: Hand shakes are a common way to greet someone, Australians are keen on answering their invitations at the first possible moment, and an invitation to a dinner, even by a friend or a peer, usually means separate checks.

From the Paper
"Budgeting time wisely every night is an important part of maturity. But you must also budget your time over the semester. Don't try to have too many extracurricular activities scheduled, until you are sure you can handle the work level of your course load. Have a semester-long planner and don't just focus on assignments from a day-to-day basis. Know when long, large projects are due, and if these projects conflict. Know how to prioritize certain projects, when feeling overwhelmed. Assigning the tasks you need to complete each day a letter value can be helpful--is the task "A" (very important) "B" (somewhat important) or "C" (can be put off until a less busy day)?"

Robert Spencer's "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam", 2008.
This paper is a critical review of Robert Spencer's "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam".
1,101 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Robert Spencer organizes his book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam" (and the Crusades)" in three large sections. The author points out that, in the first section, Spencer analyzes the era of the Prophet Muhammad and the philosophy set forth in the Qur'an, which Spencer calls a book of war. The paper relates that, in the second section, Spencer covers the history of the Crusades as the first clash between the Middle East and the West, between Islam and Christianity, which he finds important for making the West and Christianity ascendant and for keeping Islam in check for centuries. The author tells that the third section addresses the current era of jihad against the West, as the consequence of the earlier time and a continuing philosophical clash in which Spencer clearly sees the West as having the moral high ground and Islam as claiming a moral strength it does not possess at all.
Table of Contents:

Critique
From the Paper
"Spencer makes his own answer clear when he writes about why the life of Muhammad matters and stats that "religions are not entirely determined (or distorted) by the faithful over time." It has become common for the politically correct to see Islam as a peaceful religion that is being distorted by some followers, but Spencer wants to show that the foundation of the religion itself favors war and actions taken from a position of power. Spencer also wants to elevate Christianity over Islam in philosophical terms and throughout compares the teachings of Jesus and the teachings of Muhammad to show that they are not equivalent and that there are real differences that make one more acceptable than the other."

Abstract
This paper explains how Theissen and Merz explore the subject matter of the historical Jesus in light of primary sources, especially relying on the Gospels, both canonical and apocryphal. It discusses the unique style of the layout and sources of the book and provides a critique of its shortcomings.
From the Paper
"The book is divided into four main sections, in addition to a meaty Introduction, a ?Retrospect? called ?A Short Life of Jesus,? and two helpful indexes, one of Biblical References and one of Names and Subjects included in the text. The Historical Jesus, published in North America by Fortress Press, was translated from the original German by John Bowden. A full set of sources and collections of sources is provided by the authors at the beginning of the book; moreover, at the onset of each chapter of the book are blocks of bibliography offering the reader a helpful guide for further research and reading. Therefore, the authors do not follow the traditional arrangement of bibliographical information by providing a set of sources at the end of the book; however, footnotes are frequently used. Furthermore, suggestions for further readings are provided at the end of some of the sections. Following the initial source selection is a comprehensive list of abbreviations used within the text. The Historical Jesus is as comprehensive as its title purports; it is also a well-organized, structured, and straightforward piece of accessible scholarship."

Student Survival Guide, 2007.
This paper discusses issues that are important for the success of the online student.
1,895 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that, as an online student, there are certain strategies that need to be followed in order to specifically cultivate the responsibilities that will lead to successful study. The writer maintains that for this reason, a student survival guide is vital to help such a student keep on track not only with the study material, time management and work ethic, but also with ethical issues such as upholding academic honesty. To create a student guide, five areas are considered in terms of actions to achieve success in the overall study program. These areas include conducting successful library and Internet searches, upholding academic honesty, developing effective study skills, managing time wisely, and setting and achieving goals. Each of these is considered in turn, with specific strategies for achieving success.
Outline:
Conducting Successful Library and Internet Searches
Upholding Academic Honesty
Developing Effective Study Skills
Managing Time Wisely
Setting and Achieving Goals
Sources
From the Paper
"Upholding academic honesty is taken very seriously by both online and physically located Universities. First, it is necessary to give some thought to what exactly is meant by academic honesty. When entering school as children, we are taught from the very beginning that handing in work that we have not done ourselves to be graded as our own is cheating and punishable by a variety of very strict punishments. In the professional world, plagiarism is also seen as a very serious offence. Once found out, perpetrators of this offence bear the lifelong burden of disrepute. It therefore makes sense that an academic institution, in preparing its students for professional life, should also follow this paradigm."
"Furthermore, on a more individual level, it is better for the student him- or herself to hand in legitimately completed work with any outside sources cited in the correct manner. The reason for this is that the student has enrolled in the course to learn."
