Overview Over the course of the semester you will prepare a marketing plan that will demonstrate your ability to apply marketing concepts to a real-world product or service. This assessment is in lieu of a final examination and was designed to measure your performance on all course learning outcomes. Your plan will follow the marketing plan outline illustrated in table 2.2 of your textbook and further described in Appendix 1: Sample Marketing Plan for Sonic, a fictional product. You will submit your Marketing Plan Term Project in two parts: Part 1: Analysis of the current situation (30 percent of final grade) Part 2: Marketing strategy, budgets, and controls (20 percent of final grade) (Part 2 will also include an executive summary, all slides from Part 1, incorporation of feedback from your faculty member, all footnotes, and a bibliography.) Your marketing plan will take the form of a PowerPoint Presentation. Tips for effective PowerPoint slide development can be found under Course Content in the online classroom. Be sure you have access to a recent version of PowerPoint or similar presentation software. You will be graded on the following criteria (refer to grading rubrics for more detailed information): the degree to which you demonstrate your ability to conduct relevant external research the degree to which you demonstrate application of the marketing principles covered throughout the course the degree to which you exhibit critical-thinking skills the degree to which you present a professional final product Marketing Plan Term Project Requirements Step 1: Select a Product or Service. Due: End of week 2 (check course schedule for specific due date) You will select a company and one of its specific products or services, for which you will prepare a marketing plan. Submit your choice to your faculty member for approval no later than the end of week 1. Your choice of a product or service is important. Here are some tips to help you select an appropriate product or service: Select a consumer product or service that you or your family uses regularly. This will help give you insight into customer behaviors in the purchase decision and will also make it more interesting to work on because you like the product or service. Do not select an industrial or business-to-business good or service. Select a product or service that is large enough to have something written about it or its industry. This will help you find industry trends and competitive information via library research. Select a publicly held company’s product or service. Again, there is more information available that will bring depth to your analysis. You will need revenue data, market-share data, or other measures to compare against competitive offerings. Stay with nationally known brand names so that your faculty member has some knowledge of your choice and therefore can be more helpful to you. Select a product or service that has some competition. Do not select a new product or serv.

Overview In our study of poetry, we have discussed several key poetic elements such as rhythm, sounds and song. Formal Writing Assignment 3 is a critical thinking and information literacy project that will require you to make deeper connections between poetry and music. Requirements Access Online Sources : To begin, pick a song that you like. The song you pick should be chosen on the merits of its lyrics rather than its beat or musical accompaniment. The song, which must be in English , may contain a moderate amount of graphic language, and, if you choose, it may deal with controversial themes. Locate the reliable lyrics to your song from an online source. A copy of the song lyrics must be attached to your completed paper. If your song has been covered by many different artists, please identify which version you are discussing in your paper, and make sure that the lyrics you attach correspond accordingly. Analyze (at least 400 words): Once you have picked your song, you are to analyze it as a piece of poetry in a well-organized essay of at least four paragraphs. As the analysis depends on it, your paper should also include some quotations from the song. Because you will be quoting text from the chosen song, you will also need to include a Works Cited page. Examine the song through the scope of some of the following poetic elements: Persona Voice (Irony, Tone) Diction Allusion Imagery Rhythm Sound (Rime, Alliteration/Assonance, etc.) Symbols Figures of speech Denotation/connotation Type of poetry (i.e., lyric, narrative, etc.) Reflect (at least 150 words): Your analysis should have identified and explained what elements qualify your song to be appreciated as a poem. Here, however, I would like for you to reflect upon which parts of the song’s power come from the words and which come from the music and/or artist performance. Does an examination of the words alone fail to recreate the total power of the original song – why or why not? Things to Remember All papers for this class should adhere to MLA format. A Works Cited page is required. Do not forget to give your paper a title. Do not include a cover sheet. At the top of the first page simply write a header consisting of your name, the date and our course and section names. The song that I have chosen for this assignment is Rolling in the Deep by Adele. .

Overview In this project you will implement a server for the Purdue Safe Walk Program. The server you are going to write will handle requests and commands sent from the user. Safe Walk is a campus safety system (currently done manually) that allows people on campus to request that someone walk with them from one location to another on campus. For more details, refer to this document . Definitions Here are some definitions and terms that will be used throughout this project. Locations A location is a building in Purdue campus. A location is identified by a unique acronym. First, for simplicity, the following locations will be defined in the system: CL50 : Class of 1950 Lecture Hall EE : Electrical Engineering Building LWSN : Lawson Computer Science Building PMU : Purdue Memorial Union PUSH : Purdue University Student Health Center * : Any one of the location above You may think of * as a wildcard that matches with any of the first five locations. As you will see later, a user message will contain two locations, FROM and TO . Locations not on the list above will be considered invalid. User A user is anyone who sends content to the server. Requester A requester is a user who asks for help (instead of sending commands). Again, as you will find later, not all users are requesters. Prerequisites Knowledge of file I/O operations. Knowledge of Java List API . Objectives Understand and use the Java Socket API to implement an iterative server. More specifically, java.net.ServerSocket for a socket-based server program. Understand the similarities between files and sockets. Learn to implement a basic, text-based server-client protocol. Learn to write exhaustive JUnit tests. Learn to use simple network utilities telnet and netcat ( nc ). Specifications Now you are going to write your own server program. Command-Line Arguments Name your program SafeWalkServer . To run it, use the command java SafeWalkServer port where the port argument should be an integer between 1025 and 65535 inclusive. If the port argument is given but invalid, print an error message (any meaningful message) and exit gracefully. If the port argument is not provided, your program should use a port that is automatically allocated, in which case you must print this port number to stdout before the server starts accept ing requests. For example, Port not specified. Using free port 8888. where 8888 is the port allocated automatically. Note that 8888 is just an example. If the port is already used (the constructor of ServerSocket will throw an exception). Print an error message and exit gracefully. Class Constructors Your SafeWalkServer should have two constructors corresponding to the situations where port may or may not be given. Finish these two methods: /** * Construct the server, and create a server socket, * bound to the specified port. * * @throws IOException IO error when opening the socket. */ public SafeWalkServer ( int port ) th.

Overview If there is one important lesson you can learn as social scientists it is this: historical events never appear in isolation, but instead, are connected to previous events. In this assignment, you are going to construct a timeline in which you show how different events of the women's movement are interconnected. For example, could you imagine the federal approval of the pill in 1960 without the previous ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920? To what extent did the 19th century writings of Susan B Anthony influence the 1960s work of Betty Friedan or Gloria Steinem? Did women's decade-long involvement in the abolitionist movement influence other causes that women fought for after slavery was abolished? The questions you can ask are endless! Assignment This assignment comes in two parts. Part 1: Create a timeline that covers at least four major events of the women's movement. These do not necessarily have to be from the 1960s, and they can be within a relatively short timeframe (spanning just a few years), or a very long time frame (spanning a couple of centuries). It is entirely up to you! You can find templates for timelines online, or you create your own timeline in Word (Click on Insert, choose Illustrations, SmartArt for templates). Part 2: Write a brief, 300-500 word commentary that explains how each of these four events that you have mentioned in your timeline is interrelated. In this commentary, you may write about how one event led into the next, and so on, or you may write about how one very significant event led to the other three. The way that you describe the interrelatedness of these events is up to you, but you must demonstrate that you understand how interconnected they are. .

Over 600,000 Americans lost their lives in the Civil War, with the Northern troops suffering higher losses. The North believed the sacrifice was worth it; the slaves were freed, and the Union was preserved. The South, on the other hand, began almost immediately to glorify the lost cause. They turned their generals into mythic heroes and looked wistfully back at the antebellum period. They almost regretted surrendering. Historian Shelby Foote said, Any understanding of this nation has to be based…on an understanding of the Civil War . . . The Civil War defined us as what we are, and it opened us to being what we became, good and bad things. It is very necessary if you’re going to understand the American character in the 20th century to learn about this enormous catastrophe of the mid-19th century. It was the crossroads of our being. Burns, K. & Burns, R. (Writers). (1990). Episode 1: The cause (1861). In K. Burns (Producer), The Civil War . Arlington, VA: Public Broadcasting Service. Write a 1,400-word paper in which you answer the following questions: What do you think Foote meant in the quoted passage? How does the Civil War define Americans? If the Southern generals like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson were so brilliant, and if the South lost fewer men than the North, why did the North win the war? Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. Create a 3- to 5-slide presentation, using Microsoft ® PowerPoint ® or another multimedia tool that provides a visual tour of at least three major battlefields of the Civil War. Include photographs from the University Library, quotes, numbers of dead and wounded, and the significance of each battle. Cite and reference all sourced material consistent with APA guidelines. .

Over the course of the last few weeks, we have looked at a number of different scenarios, as well as suspects, in the November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Your assignment for this midterm examination is to tell me: (1) whether there was a conspiracy to assassinate JFK, and (2) who was behind the conspiracy. In addition, you must present credible evidence to support your theory . This is not an “I think Bobby Kennedy was behind the assassination because he wanted to be President” type of paper. You are to construct a logical, well-reasoned, and well-supported argument that proves your hypothesis. In short, you are building a case (or geometric proof) so that at the end of the paper the reader will say “QED”, the mystery is solved. Each factual statement should reference a valid source (i.e., Warren Commission Report , Crossfire , House Assassination Subcommittee Report , etc.) This is a TAKE HOME midterm examination. It is due, as a hard copy, IN CLASS on March 25, 2015. No late submissions will be accepted. Your assignment is to answer the questions above. Your answer should take the form of 8 to 10 typewritten pages. You may use the references already uploaded to Moodle, as well as any other references that you choose as long as they are authoritative. Your answer should also follow the Guidelines for Written Assignments contained in the syllabus. .

Over the past 16 years, only two building permits for new housing construction have been issued in Sedgwick County, Colorado. This is consistent with the depopulation (particularly of younger persons) and economic diminution that is attributed to a declining rainfall since the 1970s. These are quantitative details. It is unclear how much of the depopulation was due to perceived opportunities elsewhere, to copycat or fad behavior, and to perceived change in local economic opportunity. Is qualitative analysis more likely to identify the leading cause of Sedgwick County's out-migration than are quantitative econometric methods? Why or why not? Which characteristics of qualitative research exerted the most influence as you formed your view on this topic? .
