Coordination:
“Departments need to discuss great instruction in cognitive ability and critical thinking, but they do need to focus on specific skill and knowledge material.” – This is a compound sentence because it talks about the need to discuss cognitive ability and critical thinking and the need to discuss skill material. I intend to use both parts equally to help strengthen my claim with an argument.
“Students need to be informed on civic engagement so they can make the right decision, in their mind, when voting.” – This is a compound sentence because it talks about the need to be informed then talks about the reason. I will emphasize both parts because it is important to know students need to be informed on civic engagement and the why to it.
“The Core Curriculum of UNE includes a variety of themes and objectives so that they can create a well taught arts and sciences, or liberal arts education.” – This is a compound sentence because it talks about two different subjects with the topic and the reason behind it. I will emphasize both parts because the reader needs examples of the themes and objectives and understand their meanings and purposes.
Subordination:
“It’s important to learn civic engagement freshman year because for most students it’s the first year where they can finally vote.” – This sentence talks about the importance of learning civic engagement freshman year and gives an example. I intend to emphasize the first part because there are more than one example of why civic engagement is important to learn freshman year. Also the key take away is the first part of the sentence.
“It’s crucial to have a well rounded education with a general knowledge, though, it is still beneficial to learn specific skills.” – This sentence is a complex sentence because it incorporates two different subjects. I will emphasize the first part of the sentence because a liberal arts education is about a well rounded education more than learning specific skills.
