Module 2 Discussion Forum
This week your post will be to provide explanation of the relationship between a given learning theory and a reading theory. You will also include a metaphor for the confluence of those learning theories. For example, after describing the relationship between the Constructivist learning theory and the Transactional Reading theory I would use a metaphor to illustrate them such as:
"The Constructivist and Transactional Reading theories are like a climbing team scaling a cliff with varied ledges and pull offs. The climbers have the same goal (to reach the summit: to develop in literacy skills), but each brings a differing level of prerequisite skills and understanding (schema). This will determine how th.

Indicator(s)/Sub-Outcome(s)/Expectation(s):
· Purpose – gain more knowledge of classical rhetoric as documented by Aristotle
· Materials needed – Aristotle’s books (Book I, II, & III), writing materials such as a notebook and a pen, audio/video resources on rhetoric.
· In-class activity – role-playing acts on persuasion
· Link to past and future work – the first lesson will cover the specific topics under rhetoric and for the successive three lessons, the previous lesson’s work will be revisited briefly.
Student Outcome(s):
By the end of the course (semester’s end), students should be able to:
· Demonstrate fundamentals of rhetoric as documented by Aristotle in his books and other empirical materials highlighting the concept of rhetoric. They should determine and describe the three branches of rhetoric and its five canons. In other words, students should be able to explain classical rhetoric, deliberative rhetoric, and judicial rhetoric as the main categories of rhetoric. Lastly, learners should have the capacity to apply the art of persuasion in practice as learned from the concepts, branches, and canons above. In the end, learners should be able to construct great rhetoric used in different situations.
Context for Learning
The context of learning lies in the value of gaining knowledge of classical rhetoric. The combination of the above three lessons shall be contextualized to professional fields that significantly rely on rhetoric such as education, politics, marketing, and the likes. The main aim of the lessons is to help students become exceptional at the art of persuasion.

Assessment details
This assessment task comprises the following three components:
Part A: Scenario 375 words
You are to develop a scenario that captures the diverse needs of an individual student (e.g. dyslexia, gifted, refugee, Down syndrome etc.) within a primary based context. Your scenario should include a brief profile of the student, summarise any relevant information that you can provide about the student’s learning needs (academic, social and emotional) and should contextualise the learning environment in which they are currently in.
Power point from my teacher
Part A: Scenario
Develop a scenario that captures the needs of a student. The student can be hypothetical or can be based on your knowledge of a particular child and their needs
Diversity can include
· a learning difficulty, (eg dyslexia)
· a specific disability (eg Down syndrome)
· Giftedness
· Refugee or similar traumas.
The scenario is to be based in the primary school context (ie, not secondary)
INCLUDE:
A brief profile of the student
Any relevant information about the child’s learning needs (academic, social and emotional)
The context of the school/learning environment the child is currently experiencing
Please note: If you are basing your paper on an actual case you are familiar with, please ensure no identifying information is included in your paper
DO NOT USE THIS EXAMPLE THIS IS WHAT MY TEACHER GAVE US
EXAMPLE:
Mary is a ten-year-old grade four student with diagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which is described as high-functioning. No funding assistance is allocated for Mary’s education. Mary attends a mainstream government primary school and is well supported by her parents. The primary school services a student population of 375 students of which 15% are from indigenous backgrounds and 10% from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds. The school has a broad socio-economic mix and is located in a major regional centre. Mary is a member of a composite grade three and four class of 22 students, including three from indigenous backgrounds and one for whom English is an additional language (EAL). The class teacher is an experienced three year graduate with no additional training in any specialist area.
Part B: Consideration of theoretical perspectives 375 words

This activity is designed to help you develop a lesson that teaches .docxhowardh5
This activity is designed to help you develop a lesson that teaches character through the curriculum and encourages ethical reflection. Part of your project may be in the form of a webpage, videography (no longer than 10 minutes), poster, brochure, song, poem, or any other instructor-approved medium to teach character education.
Select one of the following content areas you already teach (CCSS or state standards): >> I teach Math_ Algebra 2 & Geometry<<
Math
Language Arts
Social Studies
Science
Art
Physical Sciences
Physical Education
Sports
Music

Using your selected content area, design a lesson plan presentation for Character Education through the Curriculum. This lesson is designed for use in your classroom to help students develop the cognitive side of character (performance, civic, and/or moral) by (include all the following):
Raising ethical awareness
Creating an understanding of virtues of your chosen character type (vocabulary) and how to apply them in concrete situations
What materials are you planning to use to support the concept
Plan for reflection opportunities
Helping students to take the perspective of others
Helping students to reason morally (Why are some things right and others wrong?)
Helping students make thoughtful decisions (the virtue of prudence)
Helping students create self-knowledge, including the capacity for self-criticism (the virtue of humility)
Formative assessment – How will you informally measure the students’ understanding of the lesson? What activity will they do to demonstrate their learning?
You are still learning and will continually develop. To finalize your project, look to the future: What’s next? Now that you know more about character, what skills might remain to still be refined or added? What might you want to explore further in the arena of moral leadership?
Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.
Peer Responses (Due Thursday)
Read your classmates’ responses. Reflect and substantively comment on at least three of your peers’ submissions.
Share your overall impressions of the lesson/project.
What areas are done well and why?
What is one suggestion can you offer to the author that may support growth opportunities for future lessons?
Share any expertise you may have to support an area the author would like to develop.
Support your statements with evidence from the required studies, other research, and experiences. You are required to respond to comments or questions about your posts

post #1
Character in the Curriculum: “What if Everybody Did That?”
I created a lesson that focuses on Language Arts while also helping students to develop his/her own character. With the recent rise in COVID cases in my area, our schools are moving into hybrid or completely remote learning. Knowing this, I created my lesson using Ne.
This week youve learned about various facets of sexual identity aTakishaPeck109
This week you've learned about various facets of sexual identity and the ways sexualties are informed by social institutions, cultural norms, and other forms of identity (e.g., gender norms, race/ethnicity, social class, religion, etc.) The film Moonlight provides us an opportunity to explore these connections as we watch the main character, Chiron, navigate his childhood and adolescence. (Before you begin, please make sure you have completed the readings, especially Kameron Copeland's film review.)
Note: The film is accessible from the library; just do a title search and follow the link to Swank digital media if the following link doesn't work:
https://digitalcampus.swankmp.net/udenver333780/watch/E83C519A1FB4E618?referrer=direct
In this four page paper, please answer the following question:
Writing Prompt:
· What does an intersectional analysis of Moonlight teach us about how gender, race and class shape Chiron's sexual identity (and his life in general?)
Note, your paper should include a clear, well-defined thesis statement (or argument) that answers this question. Your thesis should provide the organizing framework for your paper and be supported throughout with the readings, key terms, and thoughtful examples from the film.
Other questions that might help you create your argument/thesis/analysis: (Note, these are suggestions. You are not required to answer them!).
· What does this film tell us about the relationship between hegemonic masculinity and violence?
· What role does "family" (and its many iterations) play in Chiron's life?
· What does Chiron's life teach us about the ability (or lack thereof) for queer men of color to be "out"?
· This film received widespread critical acclaim and won the Oscar for "Best Picture of the Year" in 2017 for its thoughtful (yet arguably heartbreaking at times) portrayal of black queer masculinity. However, some argue that Hollywood needs more positive portrayals of LGBTQ+ stories that celebrate diverse queer and LGBGTQ+ people. Where do you think Moonlight fits in this debate?
Grading Requirements:
· Minimum of four (4) pages, double spaced
· Includes a thoughtful thesis that poses an argument; frames the paper; and is supported with the readings and examples from the film
· Engages with at least two (2) readings from Week 3 and at least one (1) reading from Week 2. (Remember to use parenthetical citations or footnotes...no works cited required)
· Avoids overusing direct citations and instead articulates the readings arguments by paraphrasing (and citing!)
· Thoughtfully answers above questions using evidence from film and texts to support insights/opinions/reflections Reflects college level writing standards (e.g., grammar, syntax, voice, spelling, etc).

Spring 2019 Assignment
Professor Cindy Casey Brown
Department Chair and Faculty
El Centro College
My Top 10
Writing Tips
Write about something you enjoy – if you are not enjoying what you are writing about the reader can tell!
Organize your thoughts before you write – make an OUTLINE of what you are going to write about. This helps you put your thoughts in logical order and tells you what research you need to complete. DO NOT do this last minute! Writing is a process and editing takes time.
**You will do an outline for me and it is worth 25 points!**
Never underestimate the power of simple words. Do NOT over-use your thesaurus. Many people will do this – be careful! Using “big” misplaced words can make your writing choppy and break up your reader’s concentration. Sometimes saying it simply is best! Which one holds your attention better?
“It was a great class. I learned a lot of valuable information.”
VERSUS
“The program was stupendous and provided immense opportunity for engaging my colleagues in banter on numerous topics of consequence. I was pedantic in my studies and this manufactured an astonishingly engaging atmosphere for scholarship.”
BUT do make your writing come alive – edit your work and see where you can do this - close your eyes and listen to this quote:
“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
― Anton Chekhov
Make sure you use words or transitional sentences to tell your reader where you are going and what you are telling them next – it helps your reader stay engaged – and helps your teachers grade your work.
Example: “There are three major challenges that the President is confronting this year. First…., Second… Finally….
Vary your sentence length. It keeps your readers engaged if every so often you have some nice, short sentences. It wakes your reader up and keeps them moving.
6. PROOFREAD. Write it, put it down for 24 hours, read it out loud to yourself. Double check your spell check (i.e. there and their – too, two, and to).
Read your paper out loud to yourself to make sure it flows.
8. Make sure your grammar and punctuation are PERFECT. Making silly mistakes makes your reader lose faith in your arguments. Presentation is important!
Read your paper and do a “Search and Find” for the words this, that, and these. Determine if you can take those words out – a lot of times they are extra words and you can remove them and clean up your writing and make it “crisper.”
10. CITE YOUR SOURCES!
When should you cite a source?
When you quote two or more words verbatim or even one word if it is unique to a source. (Example: “Let’s Roll!”)
When you introduce facts to your reader that are not common knowledge you need to cite to something.
When you paraphrase ideas, conclusions, discussions from a source – even though it .

The primary school services a student population of 375 students of which 15% are from indigenous backgrounds and 10% from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds. The school has a broad socio-economic mix and is located in a major regional centre. Mary is a member of a composite grade three and four class of 22 students, including three from indigenous backgrounds and one for whom English is an additional language (EAL). The class teacher is an experienced three year graduate with no additional training in any specialist area.

Character in the Curriculum: “What if Everybody Did That?”
I created a lesson that focuses on Language Arts while also helping students to develop his/her own character. With the recent rise in COVID cases in my area, our schools are moving into hybrid or completely remote learning. Knowing this, I created my lesson using Ne.
This week youve learned about various facets of sexual identity aTakishaPeck109
This week you've learned about various facets of sexual identity and the ways sexualties are informed by social institutions, cultural norms, and other forms of identity (e.g., gender norms, race/ethnicity, social class, religion, etc.) The film Moonlight provides us an opportunity to explore these connections as we watch the main character, Chiron, navigate his childhood and adolescence. (Before you begin, please make sure you have completed the readings, especially Kameron Copeland's film review.)
Note: The film is accessible from the library; just do a title search and follow the link to Swank digital media if the following link doesn't work:
https://digitalcampus.swankmp.net/udenver333780/watch/E83C519A1FB4E618?referrer=direct
In this four page paper, please answer the following question:
Writing Prompt:
· What does an intersectional analysis of Moonlight teach us about how gender, race and class shape Chiron's sexual identity (and his life in general?)
Note, your paper should include a clear, well-defined thesis statement (or argument) that answers this question. Your thesis should provide the organizing framework for your paper and be supported throughout with the readings, key terms, and thoughtful examples from the film.
Other questions that might help you create your argument/thesis/analysis: (Note, these are suggestions. You are not required to answer them!).
· What does this film tell us about the relationship between hegemonic masculinity and violence?
· What role does "family" (and its many iterations) play in Chiron's life?
· What does Chiron's life teach us about the ability (or lack thereof) for queer men of color to be "out"?
· This film received widespread critical acclaim and won the Oscar for "Best Picture of the Year" in 2017 for its thoughtful (yet arguably heartbreaking at times) portrayal of black queer masculinity. However, some argue that Hollywood needs more positive portrayals of LGBTQ+ stories that celebrate diverse queer and LGBGTQ+ people. Where do you think Moonlight fits in this debate?
Grading Requirements:
· Minimum of four (4) pages, double spaced
· Includes a thoughtful thesis that poses an argument; frames the paper; and is supported with the readings and examples from the film
· Engages with at least two (2) readings from Week 3 and at least one (1) reading from Week 2. (Remember to use parenthetical citations or footnotes...no works cited required)
· Avoids overusing direct citations and instead articulates the readings arguments by paraphrasing (and citing!)
· Thoughtfully answers above questions using evidence from film and texts to support insights/opinions/reflections Reflects college level writing standards (e.g., grammar, syntax, voice, spelling, etc).

Writing and Citing Tips
Spring 2019 Assignment
Professor Cindy Casey Brown
Department Chair and Faculty
El Centro College
My Top 10
Writing Tips
Write about something you enjoy – if you are not enjoying what you are writing about the reader can tell!
Organize your thoughts before you write – make an OUTLINE of what you are going to write about. This helps you put your thoughts in logical order and tells you what research you need to complete. DO NOT do this last minute! Writing is a process and editing takes time.
**You will do an outline for me and it is worth 25 points!**
Never underestimate the power of simple words. Do NOT over-use your thesaurus. Many people will do this – be careful! Using “big” misplaced words can make your writing choppy and break up your reader’s concentration. Sometimes saying it simply is best! Which one holds your attention better?
“It was a great class. I learned a lot of valuable information.”
VERSUS
“The program was stupendous and provided immense opportunity for engaging my colleagues in banter on numerous topics of consequence. I was pedantic in my studies and this manufactured an astonishingly engaging atmosphere for scholarship.”
BUT do make your writing come alive – edit your work and see where you can do this - close your eyes and listen to this quote:
“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
― Anton Chekhov
Make sure you use words or transitional sentences to tell your reader where you are going and what you are telling them next – it helps your reader stay engaged – and helps your teachers grade your work.
Example: “There are three major challenges that the President is confronting this year. First…., Second… Finally….
Vary your sentence length. It keeps your readers engaged if every so often you have some nice, short sentences. It wakes your reader up and keeps them moving.
6. PROOFREAD. Write it, put it down for 24 hours, read it out loud to yourself. Double check your spell check (i.e. there and their – too, two, and to).
Read your paper out loud to yourself to make sure it flows.
8. Make sure your grammar and punctuation are PERFECT. Making silly mistakes makes your reader lose faith in your arguments. Presentation is important!
Read your paper and do a “Search and Find” for the words this, that, and these. Determine if you can take those words out – a lot of times they are extra words and you can remove them and clean up your writing and make it “crisper.”
10. CITE YOUR SOURCES!
When should you cite a source?
When you quote two or more words verbatim or even one word if it is unique to a source. (Example: “Let’s Roll!”)
When you introduce facts to your reader that are not common knowledge you need to cite to something.
When you paraphrase ideas, conclusions, discussions from a source – even though it .

Testing
Test
The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC), Second Edition offers testing that can be completed in twenty-five to seventy-minute test settings. This test is designed to be administer in a school setting by a testing administer that has completed specific training and read the testing manual thoroughly with complete understanding. The scoring is completed through specialized software. This test consists of eighteen subtests that an administrator can administer in sections to avoid testing fatigue for the student. Per the website Pearson Clinical, the test is administered in eighteen subsets that are broken down into five categories. The five categories focus on specific aspects that will be assessed and offer different categories for different age ranges. Category 1 focuses on Simultaneous Triangles, this includes seven subsets that are: Face Recognition, Pattern Reasoning, Block Counting which are designed to be tested on students from five to eight years old (Pearson Clinical Psychology, 2017). This subset also includes Story Completion, Conceptual Thinking, Rover, and Gestalt Closure that can be used to test any ages between five and eighteen. Category two is Sequential Word Order, this set includes Number Recall, and Hand Movements that can also be used for any age category (Pearson Clinical Psychology, 2017). The third category Planning which measures the pattern reasoning and story completion in students from 7-18 (Pearson Clinical Psychology, 2017). This category includes testing the Learning Atlantis, Atlantis Delayed, Rebus, and Rebus. The last category is Delayed Knowledge which is included in the CHC model only Riddles, Expressive Vocabulary, and Verbal Knowledge (Pearson Clinical Psychology, 2017).This form of testing offers reliability and validity to the results.
Reliability and Validity
The validity evidence from associations that are compared to different mediums produced outcomes that offered the same as the results that would have been expected. Per the article published by Kaufman, the subscale and index-score relationships are commonly offered in association with the K-ABC, also per the index and IQ scores of the WISC-III, WISC-IV, and WPPSI-III, with the KAIT, and with the Cognitive clusters of the Woodcock-Johnson III. Correlations of KABC-II scales with the like-named clusters of the WJ III Cog battery reveal weak discriminant validity (Kaufman, A. S., & Kaufman, N. L, 2004). Large amounts of clinical studies disclose variances that exist in different section of students with disabilities and the norm group. In the group that included Autistic Disorder, ADHD, and emotional disturbance the greatest pattern of differences could be found. The authors of the study often warn about considering the smaller differences too much as it could take focus off the larger benefits of using the test.

TestingdiagnosisTests that are used to diagnose autism are done.docxtodd191
Testing/diagnosis
Tests that are used to diagnose autism are done in various fields such as psychology, psychiatry, pediatrics, and neurology. Diagnosis is established after observing the child’s behavior and testing the child’s abilities in these fields. Any child should be examined for developmental abilities from birth to the age of three. If a child is detected with some developmental delays or disabilities, the pediatrician should refer the child to a specialist in early Intervention.
Some of the behaviors that need to be noticed are:
· Absence of babbling and making gestures by the age of 12 months
· Absence of any word utterances by the age of 16 months
· Absence of two-word unprompted phrases by the age of 24 months
· Loss of social and language skills at any age
In order to determine whether a child has a disorder in the autism spectrum a psychiatrist will likely look at a variety of factors. These might include such things as:
· Evaluation of the medical history of the child’s mother during her pregnancy
· Assessment of the developmental milestones
· Complete physical examination
· Habits of eating and sleeping
· Functioning of the stomach and bowels
· Coordination disabilities
· Sensory impairments
· Allergies
· Any medical diseases
· History of developmental disorders in the family
· History of genetic and metabolic disorders in the family
· Exposure of the child or parents to toxins
Some tests may be done to confirm that the symptoms of the child are not due to other conditions which may seem like autism spectrum disorder, such as genetic or metabolic diseases, mental retardation, and deafness. These tests are:
Chromosomal Analysis This is performed to test for mental retardation. If there is mental retardation in the child's family, this test may be conducted. For instance, fragile X syndrome that leads to symptoms of low levels of intelligent may be diagnosed with chromosomal analysis.
Electroencephalograph (EEG) If there are symptoms of seizures and developmental regression, then an EEG is conducted.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) An MRI is done to detect any structural differences in the brain.

Date: March 8, 2020
Introduction
In today's world, many people have an access to the media comprised of the Internet which includes social media platforms, the print media which is comprised of newspapers and magazines, and broadcast media which includes televisions and radios. The exposure to the aforementioned types of media has been associated with the increasing cases of eating disorders as reported by some researchers (Latzer, Spivak-Lavi, & Katz, 2015, p. 375). Studies have shown that children and young adolescents spent about 5 hours a day watching the television and about 7 hours using the various types of media combined (Morris & Katzman, 2003, p. 287).
Testicular Cancer Case Studies A 21-year-old m.docxtodd191
Testicular Cancer
Case Studies
A 21-year-old male noted pain in his right testicle while studying hard for his midterm college
examinations. On self-examination, he noted a “grape sized” mass in the right testicle. This
finding was corroborated by his healthcare provider. This young man had a history of delayed
descent of his right testicle until the age of 1 year old.
Studies Results
Routine laboratory studies Within normal limits (WNL)
Ultrasound the testicle Solid mass, right testicle associated with calcifications
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) 550mIU/mL (normal: <5)
CT scan of the abdomen Enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes
CT scan of the chest Multiple pulmonary nodules
Diagnostic Analysis
At semester break, this young man underwent right orchiectomy. Pathology was compatible with
embryonal cell carcinoma. CT directed biopsy of the most prominent pulmonary nodule
indicated embryonal cell carcinoma, compatible with metastatic testicular carcinoma. During a
leave of absence from college, and after banking his sperm, this young man underwent
aggressive chemotherapy. Repeat testing 12 weeks after chemotherapy showed complete
resolution of the pulmonary nodules and enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes.
Critical Thinking Questions
1. What impact did an undescended testicle have on this young man’s risk for developing
testicular cancer?
2. What might be the side effects of cytotoxic chemotherapy?
3. What was the purpose of preserving his sperm before chemotherapy?
4. Is this young man’s age typical for the development of testicular carcinoma?
Knee Injury
Case Studies
A 15-year-old gymnast has noted knee pain that has become progressively worse during the
past several months of intensive training for a statewide meet. Her physical examination
indicated swelling in and around the left knee. She had some decreased range of motion and
a clicking sound on flexion of the knee. The knee was otherwise stable.
Studies Results
Routine laboratory values Within normal limits (WNL)
Long bone (femur, fibula, and tibia) X-ray No fracture
Arthrocentesis with synovial fluid analysis
Appearance Bloody (normal: clear and straw-colored)
Mucin clot Good (normal: good)
Fibrin clot Small (normal: none)
White blood cells (WBCs) <200 WBC/mm3 (normal: <200 WBC/mm3)
Neutrophils <25% (WNL)
Glucose 100 mg/dL (normal: within 10 mg/dL of serum
glucose level)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee Blood in the joint space. Tear in the posterior
aspect of the medial meniscus. No cruciate
or other ligament tears
Arthroscopy Tear in posterior aspect of medial meniscus
Diagnostic Analysis
The radiographic studies of the long bones eliminated any possibility of fracture.
Arthrocentesis indicated a bloody effusion, which was probably a result of trauma. The fibrin
clot was further evidence of bleeding within the joint. Arthrography indicated a tear of the

Test 1. Jung Typology TestENFJ Learning StyleHow ENFJs acquire, .docxtodd191
Test 1. Jung Typology Test
ENFJ Learning Style
How ENFJs acquire, memorize and recollect information
An ENFJ’s interest in a subject is driven by the answer to the question, “Is this helpful to people?” The more they see a topic to be beneficial to others, the greater their interest in the topic and the greater their desire to actively engage in it and apply what they learn. Their interest in studying the material is motivated by their desire to find solutions to people-related issues.
ENFJs easily and quickly pick up new material, especially when it is delivered on a conceptual basis. Concrete information is also well received by individuals of this type. ENFJs are capable of grasping material lacking strong logical connection. For example, learning the rules of the road is no more difficult for them than grasping some theory. As a rule, they develop a great depth and breadth of understanding of new material. Learned material is better retained when a significant portion of it is devoted to highlighting the topic’s connection and relevance to people.
ENFJs are capable of independently learning expansive and complex material. They are good at both retention of information on a logical basis and mechanical memorization, although the latter is less effective. ENFJs are able to precisely recall learned information, whether or not it is all conceptually related. ENFJs can benefit from studying both independently and in a group setting.
ENFJs are able to actively apply acquired knowledge and skills to their work. They can apply it to concrete tasks or creatively develop it in a given direction. Working with material they have learned, understood, and internalized brings them great enjoyment.
ENFJs are able to remain very stable when experiencing a high level of learning related stress. They prefer to evenly distribute their efforts in learning new material, although they are capable of learning through short periods of overexertion.
An ENFJ finds it easy to establish a common ground with people of a mindset similar to theirs - or, in other words, the representatives of intuitive/feeling types (NF), including ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, and INFP personality types. ENFJs are usually open to active communication with people of this type. They have a similar way of perceiving the world, which is why an ENFJ finds it easy to share their feelings and views with other NFs, and is also likely to relate to other NFs’ feelings and views.
In their interaction with the representatives of intuitive/thinking types (NT), including ENTJ, INTJ, ENTP, and INTP personality types, INFJs should rely on conceptual and logical communication. ENFJs’ communication with people from this group often involves a variety of topics and is seen as beneficial by both parties. And while many ENFJs form their opinion based on their feelings, whereas the NT people try to maintain an objective view of events for the most part, they often find common ground for compelling discussion and sear.

Everyone knows that innovation means coming up with the next great idea in your
industry, right? Actually, there’s a lot more to it than that. Test your ability to separate
innovation fact from fiction by answering the following questions true or false:
1. Innovation is the act of coming up with new and creative ideas.
2. Innovation is a random process.
3. Innovation is the exclusive realm of a few naturally talented people.
4. The biggest obstacle to innovation is a lack of organizational resources and
know-how.
5. The most important type of innovation involves bringing new products and
services to market.
6. Teaching employees to think creatively will guarantee innovation.
7. The most powerful way to trigger your brain is to simply ask it a question.
8. Most companies pursue incremental rather than disruptive innovation.
9. Most companies are not structured to innovate.
10. Listening to your customers is a great way to innovate.
Answers:
1. False. In business, innovation is the act of applying knowledge, new or old, to the
creation of new processes, products, and services that have value for at least one of
your stakeholder groups. The key word here is applying. Generating creative ideas is
certainly part of the process. But in order to produce true innovation, you have to
actually do something different that has value.
2. False. Innovation is a discipline that can (and should) be planned, measured, and
managed. If left to chance, it won’t happen.
3. False. Everyone has the power to innovate by letting their brain wander, explore,
connect, and see the world differently. The problem is that we’re all running so fast that
we fail to make time for the activities that allow our brains to see patterns and make
connections. Such as pausing and wondering….what if?
4. False. In most organizations, the biggest obstacle to innovation is what people
already know to be true about their customers, markets, and business. Whenever you’re
absolutely, positively sure you’re right, any chance at meaningful innovation goes out
the window.

5. False. It’s certainly important to bring new products and services to market. But the
most important form of innovation, and the #1 challenge for today’s business leaders
may really be reinventing the way we manage ourselves and our companies.
6. False. New ideas are a dime a dozen. The hard part is turning those ideas into new
products and services that customers value and are willing to pay for -- a process that
requires knowledge about what your customers want and need, coupled with
implementation.
7. True. Ask a question and the brain responds instinctually to get closure. The key with
innovation is to ask questions that open people to possibilities, new ways of looking at
the same data, and new interpre.

Tesla Motors strategy was no secret in 2006 the chairman and CEO.docxtodd191
Tesla Motors' strategy was no secret: in 2006 the chairman and CEO, Elon Musk, announced:
So, in short, the master plan is:
Build a sports car.
Use that money to build an affordable car.
Use that money to build an even more affordable car.
While doing above, also provide zero emission electric power generation options.
Don't tell anyone.1
The remarkable thing was that by 2015, Tesla had kept to that strategy and executed it almost flawlessly. Phase 1 (“Build a sports car”) was realized with the launch of its Roadster in 2007. Phase 2 (“Use that money to build an affordable car”) began in 2013 with the launch of the Model S.
The acclaim that greeted both cars had propelled Tesla's reputation and its share price. Since its initial public offering in June 2010, Tesla's share price had followed an upward trajectory. On June 12, 2015, Tesla's stock market value was $31.7 billion. By comparison, Fiat Chrysler was valued at $20.5 billion despite that fact that Fiat Chrysler would sell about 2.5 million cars in 2015 against Tesla's 55,000. The optimism that supported Tesla's valuation reflected the company's remarkable achievements during its short history and investors' faith in the ability of Elon Musk to realize his vision “to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible.”2
Indeed, Musk's vision for Tesla extended beyond revolutionizing the automobile industry: Tesla's battery technology would also provide an energy storage system that would change “the fundamental energy infrastructure of the world.”
A central issue in the debate over the appropriate market valuation of Tesla was whether Tesla should be valued as an automobile company or as a technology company. In practice, these two issues could not be separated: Tesla's principal source of revenue would be its cars, but realizing the expectations of earnings growth that were implicit in Tesla's share price required Tesla to maintain technological leadership in electric vehicles. Given that Tesla's rivals were some of the world's largest industrial companies—Toyota, General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, and Renault–Nissan, to name a few—this was a daunting prospect.
Electric Cars
The 21st century saw the Second Coming of electric cars. Electric cars and buses were popular during the 1890s and 1900s, but by the 1920s they had been largely displaced by the internal combustion engine.
Most of the world's leading automobile companies had been undertaking research into electric cars since the 1960s, including developing electric “concept cars.” In the early 1990s, several automakers introduced electric vehicles to California in response to pressure from the California Air Resources Board. However, the first commercially successful electric cars were hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Sales of HEVs in the US grew from 9,350 in 2000 to 352,862 in 2007. By far the most successful HEV, both in the US and globally, was the .

-The showroom technique of selling cars appeals to consumers
Weaknesses
-Tesla is not able to produce enough to meet consumers demand. Compare to other companies with more capital.
-Batteries are inefficient regarding mileage and the cost associated with producing the battery.
– Limited variety is provided for consumers.
-The selling price is very high.
-Majority of production is in the U.S. Shipping cost is high to deliver vehicles around the world.
Opportunities
-Oil is becoming more scarce and expensive; there will be high demand for electric cars.
- Increase Market Share through High-Growth EV Industry.
-Demand for electric cars is growing -Solar power technology is advancing -More low priced models to tap into the rising middle-class market. -Autonomous driving technology has become popular, and Tesla has plans to release fully autonomous vehicles.
Threats
-Tesla is facing intense competition from luxury and environment-friendly brands.
- Tesla has a premium image, and it will take time to break this image and bring affordable vehicles to consumers. Which will be an excellent way to reduce the competitive threat.
-Legal and regulatory troubles can be costly and can lead to an increase in costs. Tesla operates in many countries and subject to legal and political regulation in those markets.
-People do not want to deal with charging and the amount of time it takes and they believe charges do not give much mileage -Tesla is always the subject of unfair scrutiny.
January 1, 2015. Elon Musk, chief executive officer (CEO) of Tesla is taking it easy on this New Year’s
Day. While having his coffee, he scrolls through some recent issues of The Wall Street Journal on his iPad.
A headline from one current story jumps out at him, “Gasoline prices have declined for 88 consecutive
days, the longest streak of falling prices on record.”1 The slide in gas prices, which began in September
2014, also happened to coincide with the slide in Tesla Motors (TSLA) stock. With increasing oil, and
therefore gas, prices, people had an incentive for purchasing electric cars. Now with gas prices drop-
ping, the incentive to buy would decrease, and the demand for the product would probably drop. This
was one of the challenges facing Musk on this New Year’s Day. Tesla was confronting increasing com-
petition and economic headwinds that were likely going to lower the demand for electric cars. At the
same time, Tesla needed to ramp up production volume to drive down per-vehicle costs.
Musk is a serial entrepreneur longing to leave a legacy, and he believes that Tesla just might be th.
Tesla SolarCity CaseFIN 440
Executive Summary
Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has declared the intention to acquire SolarCity. SolarCity is a solar company that was founded by Peter and Lyndon Rive in 2006. During times where, fossil fuel prices are spiraling and the desire for clean energy is increasing, the company became the number-one solar panel installer in the United States. Its long-term financing agreements with customers also provides recurring revenue for this company. SolarCity had a five-year compounded annual growth rate of 62.25 percent. Despite these facts, the company has never had a profitable year. It is important to note that the firm has become dependent on large amounts of debt to finance its large capital expenditures.
On the other hand, analysts believe that SolarCity will finally become profitable in 2017. With the acquisition of SolarCity, both Tesla and SolarCity would increase their profits significantly and experience significant cost synergies. At present, Tesla specializes in designing, manufacturing, and selling electric cars. The acquisition of SolarCity could provide Tesla with a realistic opportunity to expand its market share, increase operational efficiency, and access cheaper financing.
Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk believes that he can increase SolarCity’s operating margin to make it valuable, even though he is unsure about the fair purchase price. However, Tesla’s investors may not agree with the acquisition of SolarCity. SolarCity is unstable and unprofitable. Tesla is also experiencing cash and profitability issues and may not be able to sustain another risky company. The first step in determining if this acquisition would be beneficial is to conduct a valuation on SolarCity and determine what a fair purchase price would be.
Analysis
The markets for solar power and automotive industries are characterized by high level of competition, as the large-scale companies must sustain their market size. This explain the reason why SolarCity has required lots of financial supports to gain and maintain competitiveness. Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has noticed the long-term growth opportunities for SolarCity, especially, because of the expected growth in demand for the Tesla model 3 and the proposed partnership with SolarCity to launch Gigafactory. Acquiring with SolarCity can play a significant role in helping to reduce Tesla’s operating costs and increase the revenue.
On the other hand, this acquisition would also influence economies of scale. It will provide a suitable stage for SolarCity products and enable Tesla to upsurge its production capacity. This merger and acquisition aims to eliminate the overhead expenses and improve efficiency, service delivery, and customers’ satisfaction. It will allow Tesla to downsize and focus on the key business activities. This deal could enable SolarCity to reduce the level of debt comparing to the other competitors in the industry.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

Module 2 Discussion Forum
This week your post will be to provide explanation of the
relationship between a given learning theory and a reading
4. theory. You will also include a metaphor for the confluence of
those learning theories. For example, after describing the
relationship between the Constructivist learning theory and
the Transactional Reading theory I would use a metaphor to
illustrate them such as:
"The Constructivist and Transactional Reading theories are like
a climbing team scaling a cliff with varied ledges and pull offs.
The climbers have the same goal (to reach the summit: to
develop in literacy skills), but each brings a differing level of
prerequisite skills and understanding (schema). This will
determine how they climb, the rate at which they climb, and the
confidence with which they proceed. It will be most successful
if they have purposeful dialogue as they climb so as to learn
from one another. The climbing guide (teacher) will provide
varied scaffolds to assist the climbers based on their assessed
incoming level of skill, and will adjust those supports as needed
along the way.”

6. What I wrote
Behaviorism and Interactive
Behaviorism and Interactive go together.
Behaviorism’s most famous practitioner was B.F. Skinner. For
him and others, learning took place when the learner got
“operant conditioning,” what is often called positive
reinforcement and negative reinforcement. The learner behaves
in a good, approved way, and the teacher or parent smiles and
nods their head. That’s positive reinforcement. The learner is
looking around the room and not thinking about what they are
doing. The teacher refuses to acknowledge the bad behavior,
and turns their attention elsewhere. That’s negative
7. reinforcement. If the child wants the adult’s attention, they
learn to act appropriately.
Interactive learning works in a number of ways. It can involve
one-on-one interaction with a parent, teacher, or other person.
There is immediate feedback or reinforcement to what they do.
That is why interactive learning is often talked about in the
context of machine learning. A child is reading on a computer
or similar device, and the design of the software allows the
child to get immediate feedback or reinforcement on the choices
they make. Whether you are reading with another person or a
machine, there is or at least should be immediate reinforcement
of your reading behavior, either positive or negative.
A good metaphor for interactive behaviorism is being a
comedian. You spend a lot of time with pen and paper writing
what you hope are funny jokes. Sometimes it is a struggle, and
sometimes you come across something great. A comedian
practices their delivery in the mirror and tries out different
speeds and emphasis and gestures. But he or she never really
knows if it is good or not until they perform their jokes in front
of an audience. The audience provides reinforcement
interactively. If they laugh and are engaged with the comedian,
that is positive reinforcement. If they are silent and look at
their drink, that’s negative reinforcement. The comedian
reflects on what got laughs and says, I will do more of that.
The comedian reflects on what was a flop, and thinks, what can
8. I do to make that better? Maybe I’ll get rid of that completely.

Your description of Behavioral Learning Theory is perfect.
However, your connection to Interactive Reading Theory and
your metaphor do not fit (Interactive Reading Theory is not a
theory that is connected to the Behavioral General Learning
Theory.
Please view the short video below to see more about the
"Interactive Reading Theory"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcEkzHtfWhg
Your connection would only fit an Interactive Reading Theory
if the comedian knew their audience in advance (ex: teachers);
knew their interest was in students and standardized tests; knew
their motivation for listening to the comedian (their principal
brought her in for stress relief) and the comedian could thus be
confident she could engage the teacher audience with her jokes
... and fit the other components of Interactive Reading Theory.
Your example and metaphor are a much closer fit to Traditional
9. Reading Theory:
According to Dole et al. (1991), in the traditional view of
reading, novice readers acquire a set of hierarchically ordered
sub-skills that sequentially build toward comprehension ability.
Having mastered these skills, readers are viewed as experts who
comprehend what they read.

Assignment
11. In this Assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of
monopoly pricing, based on different management criteria, the
impact of price regulation of monopolies, and provide detailed
explanations of how price effect and quantity effect cause
marginal revenue to be different from the price.
Questions
1. The Gulf Sea Turtle Conservation Group (GSTCG), a 501(c)
(3) non–profit group of volunteers working to collect data on
nesting sea turtles and to promote sea turtle conservation, is
considering creating a video to educate people about sea turtle
conservation. The cost of duplicating the video on a DVD and
mailing the DVD is $6.58. In a GSTCG member meeting, the
video plan was discussed. Table 1. shows the expected demand
for the DVD at different suggested donation levels, and they can
act as a single-price monopolist if they choose to. The receipts
will be used to fund GSTCG supplies for their data collection
and conservation work. At the end of each sea turtle nesting
season, any excess funds are donated by the GSTCG to a local
non-profit sea turtle research and rehabilitation facility.
Table 1.

Anticipated Number of DVD Requests
14. b. The President wants the GSTCG to provide videos to
generate the most possible donations (Total Revenue). What
price is the President of the GSTCG favoring and how many
people will receive the DVD if this becomes the price of the
suggested donation? Explain your answers.
c. The Education Outreach Committee wants the GSTCG to
provide videos to the most possible number of people. What
price is the Educational Outreach Committee favoring and how
many people will receive the DVD if this becomes the price of
the suggested donation? Explain your answers.
d. The Treasurer of the GSTCG wants the DVD program to be
as efficient as possible so that the marginal revenue equals
marginal cost. What price is the Treasurer favoring and how
many people will receive the DVD if this becomes the price of
the suggested donation? Explain your answers.
e. The Fund Raising Committee wants the DVD program to
generate as much profit in donations as possible. What price is
15. the Fund Raising Committee favoring and how many people will
receive the DVD if this becomes the price of the suggested
donation? Explain your answers.
2. A business has been created to provide needed services to its
market. As the only provider of this service, it functions as a
monopoly, with the ability to set prices and having the entire
market demand schedule as its demand curve. Because the
monopoly is newly formed, there is no government intervention
into the monopoly’s pricing actions. Examine Diagram 2. and
answer each of the following questions with complete
explanations:
a. What is quantity (a) and why is it important?
b. What is the value at point (b) and why is it important?
c. What is the value at point (c) and why is it important?
16. d. What is the value at point (d) and why is it important?
e. What is the meaning of the green rectangle labeled (e)?
f. If there were no monopoly and this was a perfectly
competitive market, what would quantity at point (f) be and why
is it important?
g. If there were no monopoly and this was a perfectly
competitive market, what would point (g) be and why is it
important?
h. For the market in which the monopoly now operates, what
does the red triangle labeled (h) mean, and why is it important?
17. 3. A governmental regulating agency was created to oversee the
monopoly in Question 2’s operations and pricing. Diagram 3.
depicts a new price ceiling set by the regulators. Answer each
of the following questions with complete explanations:
a. What is quantity (a) and why is it important?
b. What is the value at point (b) and why is it important?
c. At what level was the price ceiling set?
d. What is the value at point (c) and why is it important?
e. At this price ceiling level, will the monopoly make any
monopoly profits?
f. At this price ceiling level, will the monopoly cover its costs?
g. At this price ceiling level, will the monopoly continue in
business in the long run?
18. 4. Diagram 4. depicts a different price ceiling set by the
regulators for the monopoly in Question 2. Answer each of the
following questions with complete explanations:
a. What is quantity (a) and why is it important?
b. What is the value at point (b) and why is it important?
c. At what level was the price ceiling set?
d. At this price ceiling level, will the monopoly make any
monopoly profits?
e. At this price ceiling level, will the monopoly cover its costs?
f. At this price ceiling level, will the monopoly continue in
business in the long run?
19. 5. Explain your understanding of how price effect contributes to
the fact that, for a monopoly, marginal revenue is always less
than the price.
6. Explain your understanding of how quantity effect
contributes to the fact that, for a monopoly, marginal revenue is
always less than the price.

23. Hints for Unit 9 Assignment
Price effect is the difference in revenue caused by changing the
price on existing customers.
Quantity effect is the difference in revenue caused by a change
in the total number of customers
Using a bakery example, assume you are selling pies and you
have 50 customers a week and they pay $10.00 per pie for a
total revenue of $500.
You figure that if you lower your price to $8 per pie that you
will sell more, so you lower your price. The next week you have
70 customers, each paying $8 per pie, and giving you a total
revenue of $560. You gained $60 on that change in price.
The original 50 customers now paying $8 each give you revenue
of $400. The price effect is a loss of $100 ($500 the 50 were
paying last week, minus the $400 that those same 50 customers
are now paying this week = $100 PRICE effect loss).
The 20 NEW customers are paying $8 each giving you an
additional $160 in revenue from new customers; we call that
$160 of new customer revenue the QUANTITY effect gain in
24. revenue.
===============================================
===
Total Revenue = Number of sales multiplied by the price
Marginal Revenue at each price = Total revenue at the price
minus the total revenue at the previous price for the last
SINGLE sale (must divide difference in total cost by the number
of units sold at that price).
Quantity produced = the quantity at which the Marginal COST
is equal to the Marginal REVENUE
Monopoly price (with NO government intervention) =
HIGHEST price at which buyers will buy the SAME quantity
produced (see the demand schedule/curve) when Marginal Cost
is equal to Marginal Revenue.
Monopoly profits are maximized at a quantity at which marginal
cost is equal to marginal revenue.
Monopoly profits exist when the price is ABOVE the Average
Total cost for that quantity.
25. Monopoly Deadweight loss occurs because the monopoly
quantity produced is LESS than the quantity that would be what
consumers would demand at a PRICE that equals Marginal Cost.
If a price ceiling is imposed on a monopoly and the price
ceiling is equal to, or above, the Average Total Cost for the
quantity at which PRICE equals the Demand schedule/curve,
then the monopolist will continue to produce. Any price ceiling
below Average Total Cost will result in shutdown over the long
run.
The area of a triangle is computed by the formula:
(base * height)/2
where Height = high price – low price
and Base = high quantity - low quantity
v.6.8.17
Hints for Unit 8 Assignment
- Fixed cost (FC) = total costs (TC) when NOTHING is
produced
- Variable cost (VC) = total cost (TC) MINUS fixed cost (FC)
- Total costs (TC) = fixed cost (FC) PLUS variable costs (VC)
- Average variable cost (AVC) = Variable cost (VC) divided by
the NUMBER of units
26. - Average total cost (ATC) = total cost (TC) divided by the
NUMBER of units
- Average fixed cost (AFC) = fixed cost (FC) divided by the
NUMBER of units
-Minimum cost output = the number of units you would produce
when your costs are the LOWEST. It is found by finding the
LOWEST AVERAGE TOTAL cost and making that NUMBER
of units.
- Break-even price is the PRICE that is the same as your
LOWEST AVERAGE TOTAL COST. Any price ABOVE the
breakeven price will create an economic PROFIT for the
business.
-Shut-down price is the PRICE that is the same as your
LOWEST AVERAGE VARIABLE COST. Any price below that
shut-down price will mean that you are not even getting enough
revenue to cover even the variable cost (ingredients to make
your product).
Note: any price between the shut-down price and the break-even
price creates enough revenue to cover variable costs
(ingredients to make your product), and will make a
contribution to your fixed costs (like the rent for the building),
27. but will not cover ALL of your FIXED costs and will NOT
create any economic PROFIT.

Assignment
In this Assignment, you will define and calculate the remaining
29. six major cost elements of a business, when given the Total
Costs and the Quantity Produced, as well as to use the computed
costs to determine a minimum cost output level for that
business. In addition, you will compute both the break-even
price and the shut-down price for a hypothetical business in a
perfectly competitive market, and determine if that business
would incur an economic profit at various market prices, and
should the firm continue to produce at each of those price
levels.

1. What is this manufacturer’s fixed cost? Explain why. The
manufactured fixed is $4,500. Fixed cost is the cost at zero
quanity, neither does it not depend on the quanity.
2. Assuming that you only know the Total Costs (TC) (as is
shown in the Table 2.a. above) explain how you would calculate
each of the following:
31. a. Variable Cost (VC); Total Cost – Fixed Cost = Variable Cost
b. Average Variable Cost (AVC); Total Cost – Fixed
Cost/Quantity= Average Variable Cost
c. Average Total Cost (ATC); Total Costs / Quantity = Average
Total Cost
d. Average Fixed Cost (AFC); and, Total Costs – Variable Cost
/ Quantity = Average Fixed Cost
e. Marginal Costs (of a single case). Change in the Total Costs /
Change in Quantity = Marginal Costs
32. 3. In Table 3.a., for each level of output, insert into the table
the values for:
a. the Variable Cost (VC);
b. the Average Variable Cost (AVC);
c. the Average Total Cost (ATC); and,
d. the Average Fixed Cost (AFC).

e. Given the information you computed in Table 3.a., what is
the minimum cost output Level? Explain why. The minimum
cost output Level is 60. The minimum cost output is the
quantity of output that corresponds to the minimum average
36. total cost of $111.67.
4. Brenda Smith operates her own farm, raising chickens and
producing eggs. She sells her eggs at the local farmers’ market,
where there are several other egg producers’ also selling eggs
by the dozen. (Brenda operates in a perfectly competitive
market in which she is a “price taker.”) In order to make sure
she does not lose money on selling eggs, she does an analysis of
her costs for producing eggs as shown on Table 4.a.
