...This is English and we leave those kinds of ‘right answers’ to the mathematicians and scientists. An English essay is not an ‘answer’ in that way at all, rather, it’s an informed opinion; but, like all opinions, it’ll require explanation, argument and support. It requires you to argue your case. What’s the first thing you do when you set about starting an essay? Many people start by searching through the text on which their essay is based in the hope of finding suitable quotations to help ‘answer’ the essay question. Well, there’s no getting away from this basic process, but there are ways to make it altogether more efficient, useful and most importantly, more likely to earn a higher grade. More on this later. The Argument Essay The secret of a good essay? Write it as an argument for what you believe! What is there to argue about? Plenty! You’ll be arguing to support your point of view on the essay question - one that you’ve boldly stated in the opening lines of the essay! “This is what I believe and I’m going to show you why I believe it..!” This is a view you’ll have developed after careful reflection and consideration on what the essay question or title asks or states. The trick is to be able to condense this view down into a brief and succinct statement. This becomes what is called your thesis statement....

...(TCO A) Assess why an analyst needs to understand how people think, how they learn, how they react to change, how they communicate, and how they work. There are many reasons why analyst need to understand how people think, learn, react, communicate, and work. Understanding all of the points mentioned above allows Analysts to work, create and relate to the systems they analyze and how they will be used. A great example would be an analyst who understands exactly how users would think, react, communicate and work with the systems software, databases, and/ or Hardware. Knowing these points would allow the analyst to prevent future issues, correct future needs, fulfill current requirements and create a great user experience. Not understanding these points would cause for an uneasy project that potentially would need a lot of maintenance down the line because it doesn’t fit what the user/ people needs. What is the role of systems theory relative to system analysis methods? First, to define the two terms: Systems Theory according to buisnessdictionary.com is defined as “One of the several methodologies (such as operations research, systems analysis, systems dynamics) which employ systems approach to understanding complex phenomenon and problems.” System Analysis methods according to buisnessdictionary.com is defined as “In a broad sense, a general methodology (not a fixed set of techniques) that applies a 'systems' or 'holistic' perspective by taking all aspects of the situation...
