This document provides an overview of a Microsoft Excel model for valuing acquisitions and mergers. The model follows a four-step process: 1) determining standalone valuations for the acquirer and target, 2) valuing the combined firm including synergies, 3) determining an initial offer price for the target, and 4) assessing the combined firm's ability to finance the transaction. The document describes the worksheets in the model for forecasting financial statements, calculating valuations, and estimating deal metrics at each step of the process. Appendices include timelines, milestones, and responsibilities for completing a potential deal.
The document discusses six types of tasks that can be used in textbooks or adapted from activities:
1) Listing tasks where learners list people, places, things, etc.
2) Ordering and sorting tasks where learners sequence, rank or classify information.
3) Matching tasks where learners match captions, texts, or information.
4) Comparing tasks where learners find similarities and differences.
5) Problem-solving tasks where learners address common problems.
6) Storytelling tasks where learners share personal experiences.
The document also discusses how to build a set of tasks around a theme and ways to stimulate richer learner interaction for more language practice.
The author reflects on how their writing has improved through English 101. Previously, they wrote only to meet basic requirements and please professors rather than their full potential. English 101 helped address weaknesses by changing their essay writing technique. They learned to write clearly and concisely through structured assignments and feedback from their professor. This improved their confidence in academic writing.

One of the many tasks involved in writing a dissertation or a research article is being able to justify the choice of one methodology over others. Just as critical to the feasibility of a study is the stated rationale for selecting a specific research design. This week, you are introduced to two research designs that have several features in common; there are also stark contrasts that are identifiable.
For this week’s assignment, consider what you have learned about the case study and phenomenological research designs. Using the same research problem developed in Week 1, how could you use these designs to gain insights to fulfill the purpose of your study?
Begin by selecting the approach that best fits the problem. Use the resources provided, and at least three other peer-reviewed articles to defend your choice (two pages minimum). Create a one-page critique of the other research design that includes arguments why the design may not suitable for researching your problem. Include a summary of the key arguments for your choice.
Length: 3-4 pages
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Hi Elton,
The topic of this week's assignment included reading all of the material that was required satisfactorily to explain the required information. With the required reading and the research project that you discussed in week one's assignment, you were to determine which of the two types of qualitative research designs that you read about this week would fit your topic that you explained in the first week's assignment by discussing and critiquing within two pages how you would use that type of design to plan your project. Then, you were to take one full page to critique how the design that you found that would not be suitable in fitting your proposed research project by using key arguments, which you would have found in your required reading. These required three pages of critique and discussion did not include your introduction or conclusion of your research paper. Therefore, this project was supposed to be succinct enough to clearly and concisely explain your thought process in a scholarly paper (using citations for all information) to only include up to four pages total.
The feedback process for this paper, as well as your other assignments, consisted of a four-part summary (four-parts listed below), a few short, location-specific balloon-comments found within the margins of the text, and the highlighting of grammar, punctuation, or APA styling errors found with ...

SUBJECT:
Successful Business Memo Writing
This memo's purpose is to explain how to write a business document that successfully conveys a message accurately, concisely, and coherently. This memo will cover the correct memo format first. Then, it will discuss clarity and conciseness, consistency and numbers, passive voice, agreement, and comma usage.
USING CORRECT MEMO FORMAT
Unlike conversations, memos leave a "paper trail," so the company can use directives, inquiries, instructions, requests, recommendations, policies and other reports for future reference. Depending on their purpose, memos can range from a few lines to four or five pages.
Every memo should have a header containing the word (prominently displayed) MEMO or MEMORANDUM followed by the organization's name. Writers usually draft memos on company letterhead.
Following the header are four pieces of information:
TO:
Name and title (the title serves as a record for reference)
FROM:
Your name and title (your initials for verification)
DATE:
(also serves as a chronological record for future reference)
SUBJECT:
Using about five to six words, state the memo's purpose precisely.
This is the most crucial part of the memo. It will determine whether the reader will continue reading. Also, it must accurately represent of the memo's content. A clear subject line helps the reader gauge the memo's importance and helps to make filing by subject easier.
A memo usually begins with a statement of the main idea. Long memos should include appropriate introductions and conclusions. The first line of the introductory paragraph should relate to the subject line. If a reader is not familiar with the subject or with the background of a problem, provide an introductory background paragraph. Doing so is especially important in memos that serve as records for future reference. Additionally, the introductory paragraph should set up the memo's main points as well as state how the memo is organized.
Do not indent the first line of paragraphs. In typical memos (like this one), writers should single space within, and double space between paragraphs. However, for assignments in this class, space and a half is appropriate. That will leave me space to write comments.
Subject headings divide material into manageable segments, call attention to main topics, and signal a shift in topic. Additionally, subject headings provide several entry points into a memo, allowing the reader to skip sections and begin reading sections other than the introduction. In short, their purpose is to help readers locate information quickly.
The body of the memo should follow the method of organization stated in the introductory paragraph. The main points in the body should flow logically and have appropriate transitions and topic sentences.
When the memo exceeds one page, begin all subsequent pages with th ...

E-Learning Balancing Act: Good vs Efficient development-web_version092010tmharpster
Is faster always cheaper? What's the hallmark of truly EFFECTIVE e-learning? What does the research say about what's effective? This presentation outlines what makes e-learning effective and offerideas on ways to balance good design with efficient development that yields "good" results.
This document provides guidance on academic writing conventions and structure. It emphasizes that academic writing needs to be clear, accurate, formal, logical, and supported by evidence. It discusses using an objective third person perspective, avoiding slang, contractions and rhetorical questions. Proper spelling, grammar and punctuation are important. Academic writing also requires a clear structure, with paragraphs focusing on a topic, providing explanation, examples, and discussing implications. The document demonstrates how to use the "WEED" method to plan paragraphs around a topic's explanation, evidence from examples, and doing something with the information.
IMS LD has not achieved widespread adoption in education despite hopes that it would lead to advances. Interviews with IMS LD researchers identified several potential reasons for the lack of adoption, including that the conceptual ideas behind IMS LD may have had more impact than the specification itself. Additionally, institutions and teachers lacked awareness of IMS LD, and the complexity of both the specification and tools made adoption difficult for most educational contexts and settings.
The document discusses different types of outlines and how to create an effective outline. It provides four main components for effective outlines: parallelism, coordination, subordination, and division. It also discusses why outlines are useful, including aiding the writing process and organizing ideas. Finally, it describes three common types of outlines - alphanumeric, full sentence, and decimal outlines - and provides samples of each.
Communicating effectively and consistently with students can help them feel at ease during their learning experience and provide the instructor with a communication trail to track the course's progress. This workshop will take you through constructing an engaging course container to facilitate effective communication.

The document demonstrates how to use the "WEED" method to plan paragraphs around a topic's explanation, evidence from examples, and doing something with the information.
IMS LD has not achieved widespread adoption in education despite hopes that it would lead to advances. Interviews with IMS LD researchers identified several potential reasons for the lack of adoption, including that the conceptual ideas behind IMS LD may have had more impact than the specification itself. Additionally, institutions and teachers lacked awareness of IMS LD, and the complexity of both the specification and tools made adoption difficult for most educational contexts and settings.
The document discusses different types of outlines and how to create an effective outline.
