Scoring Guide for Rhetorical Analysis (10% of grade; 100 points)
The scoring guide helps you and your instructor see some of the specific ways your writing is matching expectations. No rubric can encompass everything a piece of writing can or
needs to accomplish, so your instructor will comment both about and beyond these categories to help you understand how this piece of writing is effective and how it (or future pieces)
could be more effective. Your grade will be determined by your instructor’s overall evaluation of this piece of writing and the revision process it enjoyed, with the top three categories
carrying more weight than the bottom three. Note: If for any category, the piece does not meet “Developing” standards, your instructor will assign no credit for that category.

Written Assessment- Reflective Essay
Task: The essay must be 2000 words (+/-10%) in length.
Cover page: The essay must include a cover page that contains your name, student number,
resident campus, assessment title, and lecturer.
Format: Text should be word-processed, with appropriate layout and use of headings/sub
headings. Times New Roman, 12 size font and line spacing (1.5).
Referencing: A minimum of 10 academic references are required. The list of references
should form the last page or two, at the end of the assessment. Referencing should be in a
consistent APA style.
Task Description: The objectives of this reflective essay are for students to (1) summarize,
critically review and reinforce key concepts and theories learned from week 1 to week 9 of this
unit. (2) reflect on these concepts/theories’ potential impact on students’ decision making, and
how these learnings are being applied and could be applied in their current jobs, development
of future career and/or their life generally. (3) reflect on new insights gained about oneself as a
result of learning the unit and propose a plan for self-development.
Minimum number of concepts/theories/themes required to pass: 6
Students ought to start the reflective essay in week 4 after the submission of their first
assignment. From week 4 to week 9 (a total of 6 weeks), students are expected to reflect on
the topics (week 1-week 9) this unit has covered and evaluate which concepts or theories
have inspired their thinking or influenced their decision making. This assignment still
requires an essay format with introduction section outlining the scope, purpose and
structure information. The body paragraphs need to contain at least six themes over the
course of six weeks, and each theme needs to contain a CONVINCING and PERSONAL
justification of why these concepts/theories are chosen and how the mentioned
concepts/theories have changed/might change the students’ thinking or the students’
decisions. For example, students could identify the concepts of “automatic versus critical
thinking” as a theme for one week’s reflection, and illustrate with personal examples how
having learned about the differences has enabled him/her to be more effective in making a
certain decision at work. Close to the end, the essay needs to reflect on self-knowledge and
highlight implications for future self-development.
To successfully complete this assessment task, students should answer the following reflective essay
questions:
Which concepts/theories from which week’s learning activities are significant or important to
you?
Why are these concepts/theories you have identified important or significant to you?
(Theoretical review)
How are the concepts/theories you have learned influencing/impacting your deci.

ENG 122 WEEK 3 - FINAL PAPER OUTLINE
Use this outline template to organize your ideas in preparation for your final paper in Week 5.
Delete the instructive text in each section and replace it with your own writing. You do not need to write the full paragraph for each section. You are just developing the main ideas in an outline. However, the more detail you include in your outline the more feedback you will receive at this stage, which you can then apply to the Week 5 paper.
Thesis:
State your thesis. Your thesis should state the issue you are exploring in your paper and express why this issue is relevant in your field. If you’re having trouble with developing your thesis, try using the UAGC Writing Center’s tool. When you write your final paper, you’ll want to include your thesis in your introductory paragraph.

Assessment Task 1 Leadership Development ReportThis assessmen.docxdavezstarr61655
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
This assessment task is a REPORT.
This requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations.
HARVARD REFERENCING is required.
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to write about something listed in the rubric, you’ll lose marks.
So the rubric is like a “contract” between you and your lecturer. Following the rubric clearly is your best strategy for a good result
THE TASK
1. Explore the Central Michigan University competencies model (5 clusters eg. Self-Management, Leading others, Task management, Innovation and Social Responsibility)
2. Identify your current strengths and weaknesses as a leader (or potential leader) within the context of the CMU (eg. Create a clear vision of yourself in approx. 5-10 years time – only then will you be able to identify your strengths and weaknesses)
3. Review the leadership theories explored in this course and describe how they relate to you and your leadership development (again in the context of the CMU model eg. Blake and Mouton model grid)

Task Description: The objectives of this reflective essay are for students to (1) summarize,

unit. (2) reflect on these concepts/theories’ potential impact on students’ decision making, and
how these learnings are being applied and could be applied in their current jobs, development
of future career and/or their life generally. (3) reflect on new insights gained about oneself as a
result of learning the unit and propose a plan for self-development.
Minimum number of concepts/theories/themes required to pass: 6
Students ought to start the reflective essay in week 4 after the submission of their first
assignment. From week 4 to week 9 (a total of 6 weeks), students are expected to reflect on
the topics (week 1-week 9) this unit has covered and evaluate which concepts or theories
have inspired their thinking or influenced their decision making. This assignment still
requires an essay format with introduction section outlining the scope, purpose and
structure information. The body paragraphs need to contain at least six themes over the
course of six weeks, and each theme needs to contain a CONVINCING and PERSONAL
justification of why these concepts/theories are chosen and how the mentioned
concepts/theories have changed/might change the students’ thinking or the students’
decisions. For example, students could identify the concepts of “automatic versus critical
thinking” as a theme for one week’s reflection, and illustrate with personal examples how
having learned about the differences has enabled him/her to be more effective in making a
certain decision at work. Close to the end, the essay needs to reflect on self-knowledge and
highlight implications for future self-development.
To successfully complete this assessment task, students should answer the following reflective essay
questions:
Which concepts/theories from which week’s learning activities are significant or important to
you?
Why are these concepts/theories you have identified important or significant to you?
(Theoretical review)
How are the concepts/theories you have learned influencing/impacting your deci.

Assessment Task 1 Leadership Development ReportThis assessmen.docxdavezstarr61655
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
This assessment task is a REPORT.
This requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations.
HARVARD REFERENCING is required.
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to write about something listed in the rubric, you’ll lose marks.
So the rubric is like a “contract” between you and your lecturer. Following the rubric clearly is your best strategy for a good result
THE TASK
1. Explore the Central Michigan University competencies model (5 clusters eg. Self-Management, Leading others, Task management, Innovation and Social Responsibility)
2. Identify your current strengths and weaknesses as a leader (or potential leader) within the context of the CMU (eg. Create a clear vision of yourself in approx. 5-10 years time – only then will you be able to identify your strengths and weaknesses)
3. Review the leadership theories explored in this course and describe how they relate to you and your leadership development (again in the context of the CMU model eg. Blake and Mouton model grid)

Ideas Excels in responding to assignment.
Interesting, demonstrates sophistication of
thought. Central idea/thesis is clearly
communicated, worth developing; limited
enough to be manageable. Paper
recognizes some complexity of its thesis:
may acknowledge its contradictions,
qualifications, or limits and follow out their
logical implications. Understands and
critically evaluates its sources,
appropriately limits and defines terms.
A solid paper, responding appropriately
to assignment. Clearly states a
thesis/central idea, but may have minor
lapses in development. Begins to
acknowledge the complexity of central
idea and the possibility of other points
of view. Shows careful reading of
sources, but may not evaluate them
critically. Attempts to define terms, not
always successful.
Adequate but weaker and less
effective, possibly responding less
well to assignment. Presents central
idea in general terms, often
depending on platitudes or clichés.
Usually does not acknowledge other
views. Shows basic comprehension
of sources, perhaps with lapses in
understanding. If it defines terms,
often depends on dictionary
definition.
Does not have a clear central idea
or does not respond appropriately
to the assignment. Thesis may be
too vague or obvious to be
developed effectively. Paper may
misunderstand sources.
Does not respond to the
assignment, lacks a thesis or central
idea, and may neglect to use
sources where necessary.
Organization &
coherence
Uses a logical structure appropriate to
paper’s subject, purpose, audience, thesis,
and disciplinary field. Sophisticated
transitional sentences often develop one
idea from the previous one or identify their
logical relations. It guides the reader
through the chain of reasoning or
progression of ideas.
Shows a logical progression of ideas and
uses fairly sophisticated transitional
devices; e.g., may move from least to
more important idea. Some logical links
may be faulty, but each paragraph
clearly relates to paper’s central idea.
May list ideas or arrange them
randomly rather than using any
evident logical structure. May use
transitions, but they are likely to be
sequential (first, second, third) rather
than logic-based. While each
paragraph may relate to central idea,
logic is not always clear. Paragraphs
have topic sentences but may be
overly general, and arrangement of
sentences within paragraphs may
lack coherence.
May have random organization,
lacking internal paragraph
coherence and using few or
inappropriate transitions.
Paragraphs may lack topic
sentences or main ideas, or may be
too general or too specific to be
effective. Paragraphs may not all
relate to paper’s thesis.
No appreciable organization; lacks
transitions and coherence.

REPORT WRITING: PROCESS
A report is a document that investigates a topic or issue. It often recommends action to solve a problem
and usually makes recommendations.
1. 1. 1. 1. Analyse the Analyse the Analyse the Analyse the tasktasktasktask
• Identify the purpose and the audience.
• The purpose statement contains words like ‘The aim of this research is to investigate/analyse/ …’
• The audience is the person who has commissioned the research e.g. client or manager
• Be clear about what the task is––it might help to rephrase the task as a question.
• Decide on the sections of the report. (See the sample headings over page. You may not need all these
headings or you may create your own. If you are not sure what the report requires, speak to your lecturer.)
2. Brainstorm2. Brainstorm2. Brainstorm2. Brainstorm
• Bring all your ideas together on one page to:
• identify what you already know
• identify any gaps and the focus of your research
• give you the beginnings of a plan.
• Mindmaps are very useful at this stage. (See Study Tip on mindmapping for more information.)

· Input your search terms
· On the left hand side you will these options:
Example (but follow the direction as the sources have to be scholarly sources and full text!):
· Use the source type option to select the format.
· Academic journals will be scholarly and more comprehensive, but the focus will be very narrow. Academic journals can be helpful for in-depth articles on one aspect of your celebration.
· Example: Dermatoses among Children from Celebration of “Holi,” the Spring Festival, in India
· This article reports on the skin afflictions that may result from the inhalation and application of the colors/dyes that are used during Holi.
· Magazines may be a little lengthier than newspaper articles
· Example: Strength Thru Joy: Holi in Fiji
· This article discusses how Holi is celebrated among Hindu Fijians.
· Newspapers are great for a current treatment on the topic (particularly how your celebration has changed with immigration and globalization)
· Example: A Traditional Hindu Spring Parade in Queens is Canceled as Organizers Feud
· The Phagwah or Holi parade is cancelled, due to organizer infighting, which some think is “a reflection of the increasing complexity within a growing population, with combustible differences being a natural outgrowth of the community's social and political evolution.”

TEA CEREMONY IN JAPAN 2
The Origin
Tea was brought to Japan from China (618-907 AD) by the Tang Dynasty. The first Tea
Ceremony is hinted in the 8th century by a Chinese Buddhist writer in the book dubbed “Cha
Ching”. Tea plants for medicinal consumption by Japanese priests and nobbles hallmarks (Japan
710-794). Religious consumption of tea was a practice developed by Myoan Eisai, the founder of
Zen Buddhism in the Rinzai sect temple. Tea processing began during this time. Pounding of tea
leaves prior to adding warm water, and tea whisking after hot water is poured over it form the
origins of tea ceremony (Abdennour & ebrary, 2007). Books titled “Ta Kuan Cha Lun” - General
View of Tea, and “Kissa Yojoki” - Tea drinking is good for health popularized the tea ceremony.
In the thirteenth century, tea spread from the Sung, Kamakura to Samurai class. It also saw land

Assessment Task 1 Leadership Development ReportThis assessmen.docxfredharris32
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
This assessment task is a REPORT.
This requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations.
HARVARD REFERENCING is required.
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to write about something listed in the rubric, you’ll lose marks.
So the rubric is like a “contract” between you and your lecturer. Following the rubric clearly is your best strategy for a good result
THE TASK
1. Explore the Central Michigan University competencies model (5 clusters eg. Self-Management, Leading others, Task management, Innovation and Social Responsibility)
2. Identify your current strengths and weaknesses as a leader (or potential leader) within the context of the CMU (eg. Create a clear vision of yourself in approx. 5-10 years time – only then will you be able to identify your strengths and weaknesses)
3. Review the leadership theories explored in this course and describe how they relate to you and your leadership development (again in the context of the CMU model eg. Blake and Mouton model grid)

Final Project: Final Paper, Presentation, and Peer Assessment
This assignment is a group project. Students will be placed into groups consisting of groups of four or five students each. Groups will be assigned early, and the expectation is that the groups will work on the various parts of the assignment as relevant material is covered throughout the course. The group will act as a self-directed team, and will therefore determine its own timetable, task list, guidelines for communication, goals, and so forth. As an individual, you are expected to participate fully in the project. Everyone in your group will receive the same grade for the project.
Your group will create a strategic plan and present the plan in a professional manner. The plan requires a paper turn in to the Assignment Folder and a PowerPoint presentation that is presented in the last week of class.
All students in the group will receive the same grade for the final paper and the presentation.
However, if a student fails to contribute to the project, the student will earn a zero for the assignment and/or PowerPoint presentation.
By completing this assignment, students will meet the outcome(s):
examine the impact of ethical decision making, social responsibility, stakeholder analysis, and corporate governance on organizations and society
formulate and evaluate an organization's vision and mission statement, and develop long-term objectives
analyze and synthesize strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to generate, prioritize, and implement alternative strategies in order to write and present a strategic plan
evaluate the outcomes of selected strategies to determine their success and impact on the achievement of an organization's vision and mission
Required Elements to include in Applied Final Project:
The strategic plan should include:

Final Project: Final Paper, Presentation, and Peer Assessment
This assignment is a group project. Students will be placed into groups consisting of groups of four or five students each. Groups will be assigned early, and the expectation is that the groups will work on the various parts of the assignment as relevant material is covered throughout the course. The group will act as a self-directed team, and will therefore determine its own timetable, task list, guidelines for communication, goals, and so forth. As an individual, you are expected to participate fully in the project. Everyone in your group will receive the same grade for the project.
Your group will create a strategic plan and present the plan in a professional manner. The plan requires a paper turn in to the Assignment Folder and a PowerPoint presentation that is presented in the last week of class.
All students in the group will receive the same grade for the final paper and the presentation.
However, if a student fails to contribute to the project, the student will earn a zero for the assignment and/or PowerPoint presentation.
By completing this assignment, students will meet the outcome(s):
examine the impact of ethical decision making, social responsibility, stakeholder analysis, and corporate governance on organizations and society
formulate and evaluate an organization's vision and mission statement, and develop long-term objectives
analyze and synthesize strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to generate, prioritize, and implement alternative strategies in order to write and present a strategic plan
evaluate the outcomes of selected strategies to determine their success and impact on the achievement of an organization's vision and mission
Required Elements to include in Applied Final Project:

Ideas Excels in responding to assignment.
Interesting, demonstrates sophistication of
thought. Central idea/thesis is clearly
communicated, worth developing; limited
enough to be manageable. Paper
recognizes some complexity of its thesis:
may acknowledge its contradictions,
qualifications, or limits and follow out their
logical implications. Understands and
critically evaluates its sources,
appropriately limits and defines terms.
A solid paper, responding appropriately
to assignment. Clearly states a
thesis/central idea, but may have minor
lapses in development. Begins to
acknowledge the complexity of central
idea and the possibility of other points
of view. Shows careful reading of
sources, but may not evaluate them
critically. Attempts to define terms, not
always successful.
Adequate but weaker and less
effective, possibly responding less
well to assignment. Presents central
idea in general terms, often
depending on platitudes or clichés.
Usually does not acknowledge other
views. Shows basic comprehension
of sources, perhaps with lapses in
understanding. If it defines terms,
often depends on dictionary
definition.
Does not have a clear central idea
or does not respond appropriately
to the assignment. Thesis may be
too vague or obvious to be
developed effectively. Paper may
misunderstand sources.
Does not respond to the
assignment, lacks a thesis or central
idea, and may neglect to use
sources where necessary.
Organization &
coherence
Uses a logical structure appropriate to
paper’s subject, purpose, audience, thesis,
and disciplinary field. Sophisticated
transitional sentences often develop one
idea from the previous one or identify their
logical relations. It guides the reader
through the chain of reasoning or
progression of ideas.
Shows a logical progression of ideas and
uses fairly sophisticated transitional
devices; e.g., may move from least to
more important idea. Some logical links
may be faulty, but each paragraph
clearly relates to paper’s central idea.
May list ideas or arrange them
randomly rather than using any
evident logical structure. May use
transitions, but they are likely to be
sequential (first, second, third) rather
than logic-based. While each
paragraph may relate to central idea,
logic is not always clear. Paragraphs
have topic sentences but may be
overly general, and arrangement of
sentences within paragraphs may
lack coherence.
May have random organization,
lacking internal paragraph
coherence and using few or
inappropriate transitions.
Paragraphs may lack topic
sentences or main ideas, or may be
too general or too specific to be
effective. Paragraphs may not all
relate to paper’s thesis.
No appreciable organization; lacks
transitions and coherence.

Paragraph development is flawed: no clear topic sentences. Paragraphs frequently have multiple topics. The writing has a limited or missing introduction and/or conclusion or summary of argument.
Paragraph development is ineffective or inappropriate for the assignment: topic sentences are present but not well connected to the rest of the writing. The introduction paragraph is incomplete or underdeveloped. Conclusion argument does not go beyond a brief repetition of points.
Paragraph development is appropriate for the topic and assignment: topic sentences introduce or summarize the content of the paragraph. The introduction paragraph is appropriate and complete for the topic and assignment. Concluding argument appropriately synthesizes key points.

REPORT WRITING: PROCESS
A report is a document that investigates a topic or issue. It often recommends action to solve a problem
and usually makes recommendations.
1. 1. 1. 1. Analyse the Analyse the Analyse the Analyse the tasktasktasktask
• Identify the purpose and the audience.
• The purpose statement contains words like ‘The aim of this research is to investigate/analyse/ …’
• The audience is the person who has commissioned the research e.g. client or manager
• Be clear about what the task is––it might help to rephrase the task as a question.
• Decide on the sections of the report. (See the sample headings over page. You may not need all these
headings or you may create your own. If you are not sure what the report requires, speak to your lecturer.)
2. Brainstorm2. Brainstorm2. Brainstorm2. Brainstorm
• Bring all your ideas together on one page to:
• identify what you already know
• identify any gaps and the focus of your research
• give you the beginnings of a plan.
• Mindmaps are very useful at this stage. (See Study Tip on mindmapping for more information.)
3. Start your r3. Start your r3. Start your r3. Start your researchesearchesearchesearch

• If required, conduct any tests, surveys or other research tasks. Make notes on findings.
• Organise your material into headings and topics.
• Look for ways to structure the sections of the report in order to integrate your results and research.
• Record all bibliographic details of texts and websites to save time, ensure accuracy and avoid plagiarism.
4. 4. 4. 4. Plan the Plan the Plan the Plan the reportreportreportreport
• Organise the information—make headings and connections. Your plan should include:

TEA CEREMONY IN JAPAN 2
The Origin
Tea was brought to Japan from China (618-907 AD) by the Tang Dynasty. The first Tea
Ceremony is hinted in the 8th century by a Chinese Buddhist writer in the book dubbed “Cha
Ching”. Tea plants for medicinal consumption by Japanese priests and nobbles hallmarks (Japan
710-794). Religious consumption of tea was a practice developed by Myoan Eisai, the founder of
Zen Buddhism in the Rinzai sect temple. Tea processing began during this time. Pounding of tea
leaves prior to adding warm water, and tea whisking after hot water is poured over it form the
origins of tea ceremony (Abdennour & ebrary, 2007). Books titled “Ta Kuan Cha Lun” - General
View of Tea, and “Kissa Yojoki” - Tea drinking is good for health popularized the tea ceremony.
In the thirteenth century, tea spread from the Sung, Kamakura to Samurai class. It also saw land

Directions for the post should include how/why the candidate's actions would be similar or different and an analysis and discussion of additional case law and statutes that might have been included.
Seventeen-year-old Tanya is popular with her peers and frequently at odds with school rules. Tanya has been suspended on numerous occasions for disrespecting faculty, fighting, and general mischievousness. Several teachers as well as Assistant Principal Donner were convinced that Tanya significantly contributed to an increase in student disorder.
During class passing time in late April social studies teacher Frank Elliot reported to Assistant Principal Donner that he had seen Tanya follow Senior Franklyn Smith into the men’s restroom. Mr. Elliot reported that Tanya was in the restroom about a minute. Surveillance cameras confirmed Mr. Elliot’s report.
AP Donner confronted Tanya with the surveillance recording and stated “Tanya, did you really follow Franklyn into the men’s restroom?” Tanya admitted to following Franklyn into the restroom, but claimed that he had taken her cell phone and had dared her to follow him into the restroom to reclaim her property. School rules forbid the possession of cell phones during school hours. Students who violate the rule are assigned Saturday detention. AP Donner decided to suspend Tanya for 10 days for possession of a cell phone in school, flagrant disregard for school rules and disregard for decorum. Tanya’s parents immediately hired an attorney. Argue for
or
against the suspension of Tanya.
Response from Classmate
In the case of Tanya and her ten-day suspension from school, there are a number of things that must be considered. These include circumstances, precipitating factors, and mitigating factors. After careful consideration of the facts fop the case and the circumstances, it is appropriate that Tanya was suspended. However, the suspension was not handled appropriately and there are other actions that would need to take place as well to justify the suspension of Tanya.
The most important thing to consider in this case, and the reason that the suspension of Taya is justified and valid, is that she broke two clear school rules. She had a cell phone in her possession during school hours, which is clearly a violation of school policy, and she also went into a male only restroom after the student named Franklyn Smith. The combination of these two factors, along with the prior history of her disruptive nature at school and her previous suspensions are the reasons why this suspension is justified.
It needs to be noted that the school rules forbidding the possession of a cell phone during school hours contains in it a specification that the punishment for a violation of that rule is a Saturday detention. Taken at face value, that would seem to suggest that the ten-day suspension of Tanya is excessive and out of order and therefore not justified. However, when the violation of that rule is taken in.

Post 1: Specific learning disability (SLD) is a disability category included in the federal definition of educational disabilities. A learning disability is a disorder that generally includes the inability to use or understand language sufficiently enough to learn core academic subjects like reading, writing, or mathematics. The best practices for the identification, classification, and support of students in need of SLD services have been the focus of considerable research over the past century. The evidence-based practices schools have chosen to assess students who are at risk and identify SLD have ranged from the evaluation and comparison of test scores to more subject interventions and psychological assessments. As research uncovers more data regarding learning, each generation tries to improve how students are identified and classified (Fletcher, Stuebing, Morris, & Lyon, 2013). Currently, Multitiered system of supports (MTSS) is widely used in K-12 schools in the United States to identify and support students receiving SLD services. MTSS was intended to help all students by using a multifaceted approach to identifying students at risk or simply in need of additional support to be successful in a specific subject. MTSS includes evidence-based response to intervention (RTI) procedures (Barrett & Newman, 2018).
Barrett & Newman (2018) evaluated the effectiveness of MTSS for the identification and classification of students in special education departments serviced under the SLD label as well as the level of achievement attained over a period of ten years. Examining MTSS Implementation Across Systems for SLD Identification: A Case Study describes the effect of MTSS implementation on the identification and achievement of students in a midwestern regional educational service agency (RESA). The authors found that a significant body of research conducted in local schools showed improvement in academic achievement and student behavior when MTSS or RTI frameworks were implemented. Decreases in special education placements and less misclassification of learning disabilities were also significant (Barrett & Newman, 2018). However, these positive findings were shown to be incomplete or inaccurate by a recent nationwide study conducted across 13 states by the Department of Education (2015). This study revealed either a negative or neutral effect of MTSS on students. Referencing this seemingly contradictory data, Barrett and Newman (2018) recognize that one evidence-based approach is insufficient to meet the multifaceted and individual needs of students. The authors suggest that the reliance on IQ test and achievement test discrepancies, or an attempt to identify an SLD through a series of interventions are inadequate. There are a multitude of factors .

Sonnet 29: When in Disgrace with Fortune and Men's Eyes
When, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false .

You and your partner will each work on this project on your own laptops, using each other for resources while completing the assignment. In the end, you will Turn in ONE project per team. If you or your partner feels you did not share equally in the work, email me for a possible grade adjustment. Otherwise, you will both receive the same grade. Upload your completed project to Canvas using “Flex Budget_Last Name ID#_Last name ID# “ as the file name.
Kelsey’s Frozen Confectionaries buys and distributes single-serve ice cream treats to convenience stores, ballparks, and amusement parks. In this project, you will create 1) a master budget performance report, and 2) a flexible budget performance report for Kelsey's Frozen Confectionaries. Your performance reports should be developed in such a way that any changes to the original assumptions will correctly ripple through the entire spreadsheet. After developing the performance reports, you will answer questions about the variances and determine whether the variances are consistent with management's explanation about operational changes that took place during the period.
Part 1) DIRECTIONS for Master Budget Performance Report:
1) Use the budget assumptions, along with Excel formulas, to populate the Master Budget column. Note: Your formulas must work such that if ANY of the budget assumptions change, the new assumptions ripple through the entire budget. Part of your grade will be based on whether you correctly formulate the cells. Do NOT TYPE A NUMBER IN ANY CELL!!!
2) Use a formula to calculate the “variance” in cell H7: (Actual – Budget). Copy and paste (or use the fill handle to drag) the formula to the rest of the cells in the column. Leave as positive or negative, rather than absolute values.
3) Use a formula to calculate the “Variance percentage”. NOTE: The percentage is the variance as a percent of the Master Budget. Copy and paste (or drag) the formula to the rest of the cells in the column
4) Format cells appropriately. Attention to detail makes a report look more professional. (For example, percentages shown as %, dollar signs using the accounting or currency format, underlines and double underlines where appropriate, zero decimal places for dollar amounts, etc.,).
5) Use the “If” statement function to show the variances as U or F. The “If” statement can be found under “Formulas, Logical”. Example: =IF(H7>=0,"F","U"). This formula means: If cell H7>0 or H7=0, then mark as “F”; If not greater than or equal to 0, mark as “U”. Be careful with revenues and expense variances since they should be opposite of one another. ALSO- The formula you use should mark any variance of “0” as an “F” since a zero variance means that budget expectations have been met. After using the function, check each line to make sure it is going in the direction you believe it should go.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

INFORMATIVE POSTER RESEARCH PAPER GUIDELINES
According to the American Dental Hygienists’ Association, an
informative poster is “a
presentation using oral communication and a professional poster
to inform, clarify, and/or review
material on a specific topic. An Informative Poster Presentation
is NOT original research.” In
addition, “an Informative Poster presents useful and timely
information in an original, interesting
manner. This information may be a technique, theory, service,
trend or expanded opportunity in
the practice of dental hygiene and/or the broader realm of oral
and systemic health. An
Informative Poster should be focused, clear and concise to
provide information quickly and
14. stimulate attention and interest. An Informative Poster is not an
exhibit of materials.” Students
are to choose a partner to work on this assignment together.
Students who are in Clinics
A-D may pair up with another student from Clinics A-D (there
can be ONE group of three
students from Clinics A-D). Students who are in Clinics E-H
may pair up with another
student from Clinics E-H.
During DEH 1800 Dental Hygiene 1, student pairs will choose
the topic they will research for
their informative poster. The topic must be selected and
presented to the instructor for
approval no later than Monday, January 28, 2019. Once the
topic has been approved,
students will begin researching the selected topic and write a
scholarly paper based on their
research.
Informative Poster Research Paper
The Informative Poster Research paper is worth 10% of the
student’s final grade in DEH 1800
Dental Hygiene 1. The paper should be in a scholarly format
and include at least three (3) peer-
reviewed journal references (not including textbooks). None of
the references can come from
the Internet, unless they are from peer-reviewed journals. If a
student is unsure if a
reference is acceptable, the student MUST ask the instructor for
guidance.
All submitted work is to be typed, double-spaced, use 12-point
Times New Roman font, and
15. have a one-inch margin. The paper must be at least 3 full pages,

Rough drafts will then be randomly passed out to classmates for
critiquing; students will not
critique their own paper. The first rough draft CANNOT be in
outline form! Critiques of the
rough drafts will be due one week later on Monday, March 4,
2019. Tardiness in returning
the first rough draft will result in a five-point deduction from
the reviewers’ own final paper.

DUE MONDAY, APRIL 15, 2019.
LATE PAPERS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AND WILL
RECEIVE A GRADE OF ZERO (“0”).
The final paper MUST have the critiqued first and second rough
drafts stapled to it.

The instructor’s research paper grading rubric can be found on
the course’s Blackboard website.
The rubric includes how many points will be deducted from the
paper depending on the
percentage of plagiarism as reported by www.Turnitin.com. The
student pairs should ensure
that they are turning in their own work and not someone else’s.
Each pair of students will privately critique each other’s
participation within the group. Each
group member’s completed group self-critique rubric MUST be
turned in to the instructor
17. when the final paper is due. Failure to turn in the completed
rubric will results in a 5-point
deduction from that individual’s paper grade. A rubric for group
self-critique can be found on
the course’s Blackboard website.
