Coordination and Subordination – for 10/23

Coordinations

  1. Sanford J. Ugar gives misconceptions about liberal arts education, explains how these things are just misconceptions, not the truth or the full truth, and proves them to be wrong in his article “7 Major Misperceptions About the Liberal Arts.”
  2. The University of New England CAS Handbook has been examined and through this process, it has been determined that this institution uses the concept of an integrated curriculum the most out of all three of Scheuer’s conceptions.
  3.  The purpose of an integrated curriculum is for students to have a well rounded education and are able to make use of what they learn in the real world.

These are compound sentences because of the structure they use. There is “and” or a comma that separates the ideas in the sentences. In number 2, there are two sentences that have been combined by a comma.

Subordinations

  1. Although the University of New England does make the most use out of the concept of an integrated curriculum, it does also encompass humanities and does not exclude the sciences.
  2. After reading evidence such as this, a liberal education clearly has nothing to do with politics.
  3. Although the title has “liberal” in it, a liberal arts education does not involve politics.

These are subordinations because of the use of the words “although” and “after.” Number 1 and number 3 are complex sentences because they both state two different viewpoints all in one sentence. Number 2 is a complex sentence because it gets the point of the sentence across while telling why the statement can be true [due to evidence].
