HOW TO WRITE AN ANALYSIS ESSAY
The purpose of a scholarly analysis essay is to carefully examine and sometimes evaluate a written text. As with any analysis, this requires you to break the subject down into its component parts. This helps you better appreciate and understand the text. For instance, analyzing a novel might include identifying a particular theme and explain how the author suggests that theme through the point of view from which the story is told.
Your essay must have a central idea (thesis), it must have several paragraphs that grow systematically out of the central idea, and everything in it must be directly related to the central idea and must contribute to the reader’s understanding of that central idea.
Your essay must cover the topic you are writing about.
Your essay must have a central idea (stated in your thesis) that governs its development.
Your essay must be organized so that every part contributes something to the reader’s understanding of the central idea.
Your essay must do the following:
Must have a central thesis. The thesis statement tells your reader what to expect: it is a restricted, precisely worded declarative sentence that states the purpose of your essay — the point you are trying to make. Without a carefully conceived thesis, an essay has no chance of success.
An example of a thesis statement – In Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe explores how British imperialism resulted in the destruction of traditional African society.
Usually, the thesis statement falls at the end of your introductory paragraph.
The Introduction. The introduction to your analysis essay should try to capture your reader’s interest. To bring immediate focus to your subject, you may want to use a quotation, a provocative question, a brief anecdote, a startling statement, or a combination of these. You may also want to include background information relevant to your thesis and necessary for the reader to understand the position you are taking. In addition, you need to include the title of the work of literature and name of the author.
The Body of the Essay- in this section you present the paragraphs that support your thesis statement. Your analysis essay should contain an explanation of your ideas and evidence from the text that supports those ideas such as paraphrase, specific details, and direct quotations.
Each paragraph should contain a topic sentence (usually the first sentence of the paragraph) which states one of the topics associated with your thesis, combined with some assertion about how the topic will support the central idea.
The Conclusion. Your essay should have a concluding paragraph that gives your essay a sense of completeness and lets your readers know that they have come to the end of your paper. Your concluding paragraph might restate the thesis in different words, summarize the main points you have made, or make a relevant comment about the work you are analyzing, but from a different perspective. Do not introduce a new topic in your conclusion. -
Title: Analyzing the Success of a New Product Launch through Data Visualization
Overview
To make sense of all the data available to them, business leaders
work alongside data scientists who generate data visualizations to
understand business questions via analytics. This process gives
companies insight on what is working and what is not: for example,
whether the products or services offered are meeting expectations, or if
a shift in strategy is necessary.
Prompt
For this assignment, you will take on the role of a business leader
who wishes to analyze if a new product their company has introduced is
meeting the expectations. Imagine that you would like to create a post
in the company intranet that summarizes your findings in an easy-to-read
format for your team. Pay special attention to creating meaningful data
visualizations. You should use techniques that make content easy to
follow but that also display charts accurately without distorting or
skewing data. Your company’s profit goal is 25% of the cost of goods
sold (COGS). Remember, COGS is the cost of manufacturing the product,
including labor, materials, and overhead. You will need to build trust
and an open channel of communication with other leaders on your team.
Pay close attention to the story that data visualizations tell you and
others reviewing your post.
The purpose of this analysis is to better understand the cost,
revenue, and profit associated with the new product launch. Review the Cost, Revenue, and Profit Spreadsheet retrieved from the company’s data center and consider the following while developing your ideas in this assignment.
What is the importance of data analysis?
What are the results of your analysis?
Think about your analysis and its findings, including visuals. Use
visuals and text to re-state the purpose of your analysis and summarize
your most important findings.
What are you trying to represent with this data?
What kind of graphic have you selected and why?
How did adding visual representations of the data change your analysis?
Does the target audience influence the way you display information?
What to Submit
Complete the Making Data Driven Decisions worksheet in your Soomo
webtext, download your completed work, and submit it in Brightspace for
instructor feedback. You should write using a professional voice, and
any sources should be cited according to APA style. Your assignment must
be between 400 and 800 words in length. -
“The Unintended Consequences of Everyday Actions: A Reflection on Externalities”
An externality occurs when either a cost or benefit is imposed or conferred on a third party that is not directly related to a transaction. Often times, as we go about our day to day lives we give little thought to the externalities we might be creating.
Provide an example of something you have done recently that has created either a positive or negative externality, and whether or not you considered this externality when you decided to undertake that activity.
