Late Assignment Policies
Individual Projects: If you submit an IP after its due date, the
following penalties will apply:
1-3 days late: 5% penalty
NOTE: Discussion board comments to classmates’ work must be
posted within deadlines (Sunday midnight) of each week; there
are no late submissions here.
10+ days late: Assignments that are 9 days and more late may or
may not be accepted at my discretion and is subject to a 25%
penalty. I must hear from you before you post here.
My expectations on how these late policies will be met:
When I grade work and your submission is not there, I will
assign a “temporary 0” and I will send you an e-mail reminder
to post your work. As soon as I receive an e-mail notification
from you that your submission has been posted, I will promptly
grade your work, with the appropriate late-point deduction.
If you know that an assignment will be late, please contact
me at least 2 days before the due date so that an arrangement
can be made. I will e-mail you my response, and make a
notation in your gradebook when I grade work; a “temporary 0”
will be assigned until your work is received and graded.
If you are approved to turn in an assignment late (without
late-point deductions), you must email me when you submit it;
otherwise, I will not grade it because I will not know it is there.
The last assignment must be turned in no later than the last
day of class unless an ‘Incomplete’ grade has been granted in
advance.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER APA CITATIONS AND
REFERENCES.
Please note that it is important to cite correctly and to provide a
References page, which must be in the APA style of
documentation. Note the following:
1. If it is not your own idea (you have looked it up elsewhere)
and you have added it into your essay, be sure to cite correctly.
2. It is best to cite (quote, summarize, paraphrase) researched
material correctly in your essay when it appears IN your writing
in your paragraphs.
3. When quoting, quote brief sentences only.
By all means, please avoid the following:
1. DO NOT Copy/paste huge extracts work from the internet
and then add a Reference listing at the end of the essay. This is
NOT sound documentation practices.
2. DO NOT reword the researched information in your own
words and then add a References listing at the end of the essay.
This is NOT sound documentation practices.
The reference source must be indicated immediately when you
introduce your researched material IN the paragraph by
following the APA style of documentation.
The bulk of your essay must be your own ideas and
interpretation of the primary source (textbook), and from
secondary sources, with citations APA style in the paragraph, as
follows:
1. From the reading (primary source: textbook) to support your
ideas
2. From a secondary source (researched material from the CTU
online library and/or credible Websites) to enhance your ideas.

CTU Academic Honesty Policy
Take care to review CTU’s academic honesty policy as posted
in the first Task List. I am repeating this here. Academic
Honesty: NOTE: Please note these guidelines.
CTU measures success by promoting a culture of integrity at
all levels of the University. Our idea of academic integrity
includes respect, responsibility, trust, fairness, and honesty.
As a student of CTU, you are expected to submit authentic,
original work that fully acknowledges any outside materials
used in support of each assignment.
I encourage you to review the University Policies located on
the Virtual Campus home tab. Our Academic Honesty policies
in particular, as it applies to plagiarism and cheating are
extremely important.
Please note that the University takes a very strict stance on
this matter and it will be up to you to familiarize yourself fully.
If a student compromises academic integrity, the University
reserves the right to enact academic consequences that may lead
to dismissal from the University.
REFER TO “Honesty Letter.”
Therefore, please review the Task List guidance, and do not
forget to review the sample essays located at “Course Home,

Outlining and Developing an Essay
Please follow this plan for your mini-essays and essays.
Write in complete paragraphs.
*Outline: develop your ideas in complete paragraphs.
I. INTRODUCTION

SAMPLE APA MINI-ESSAY. Spend a Little, Save a Lot: Live
Healthy and Ride the Bus to Work.
If you are a driver, you can hop in your car at any hour of the
day or night and speed off to any destination you please. This is
a very convenient way to travel. However, you may not realize
this, but your car is a major expense and a constant source of
pollution. There is a very simple way to help reduce pollution,
save money, and be safer all at the same time: ride the bus to
work. By doing this, you will find that your lungs no longer
hurt from the pollution on the roads, you will save your hard-
earned money by avoiding the gas and repair bills, and your
mind will be free from the stress of avoiding accidents and
navigating through heavy traffic.
Cutting back on pollution is something that everybody should
consider doing. This is very important since living healthy lives
depend on healthy practices. Indeed, we should be concerned
with what we breathe in to our bodies. How can we best
accomplish this clean-air practice? Of course, mass transit is the
clear solution. First, let us look at some important figures on
the amount of pollutants resulting from driving our car.
According to Artunian (1995), “On average, riding mass transit
instead of driving cut hydrocarbons emissions that produce
smog by 90%, carbon monoxide by more than 75%, and nitrogen
oxide by a range of 15% to 75%” (p. 17). Therefore, we can see
that a single person can make a difference by riding the bus.
The long-term benefits are staggering. By not driving a car for
one year, that one person can save “9.1 pounds of hydrocarbons,
62.5 pounds of carbon monoxide, and 4.9 pounds of nitrogen
oxide” (Camp, 1995). It is clear then that if more people park

their cars and ride the bus, there will be fewer vehicles on the
road to give off polluting fumes. As indicated in the Transit
Guide and Route Map (1996) there are seventy bus lines running
throughout the city, with a bus every twenty minutes at peak
travel times, and “transfer” passes are available all week-days;
indeed, for one dollar, you can get to work feeling healthy and
energized to put-in a full day’s work at maximum efficiency,
with time enough to take a well-deserved nap on the ride back
home.
In addition, there can be substantial savings by not driving the
car to work….
Also, think of the stress-free days we can enjoy by just relaxing
in the bus to and from work….
Since we do have public transit, why not try riding the bus for a
change? You can breathe clean air, take naps, and come-home
refreshed for an enjoyable evening at the TV or even go out
with the family. Indeed, you and your family deserve the very
best. After all, riding the bus helps not only you but your fellow
travelers as well.

Material Requirements PlanningMaterials requirements planning
(MRP) is the logic for determining the number of parts,
components, and materials needed to produce a product.MRP
provides time scheduling information specifying when each of
the materials, parts, and components should be ordered or
produced.Dependent demand drives MRP.MRP is a software
system.

First, the number of units of “A” are scheduled backwards to
allow for their lead time. So, in the materials requirement plan
below, we have to place an order for 50 units of “A” in the 9th
week to receive them in the 10th week.

Next, we need to start scheduling the components that make up
“A”. In the case of component “B” we need 4 B’s for each A.
Since we need 50 A’s, that means 200 B’s. And again, we back
the schedule up for the necessary 2 days of lead time.

Chapter Three
The Many Stories of Judaism: Sacred and Secular
The objective of this chapter is to understand both the unity and
diversity of Judaism, with particular focus on examining both
the secular and religions forms of Judaism in relation to
modernity and postmodern trends. The monotheism of both
Christianity and Islam has its roots in Judaism, but while
Christianity teaches the concept of original sin, that concept
does not exist in either Islam or Judaism. In the case of
Judaism, the ideal of life is living in harmony with the will of
God, and God gave Jews a gift to tip the balance between good
and evil in favor of good. The gift was the dual Torah, the
sacred oral and written teachings that established the covenant
with Israel, making them a holy people. For premodern
Rabbinic Judaism, to choose to walk in the way of God was to
follow his 613 commandments. But within the diversity of
modern Judaism, the one path has opened onto many paths.
CHAPTER SUMMARY

Four major movements emerged in modern Judaism, each one
trying to preserve an essential core of Judaism. For Reform
Jews, the essence is the ethics of Judaism, and beliefs in the
supernatural and traditional Jewish rituals can be changed as
needed. For Conservative Jews, the essence lies in rituals, and
beliefs in the supernatural can be changed as needed. For
Orthodox Jews, both beliefs in the supernatural and the rituals
are essential, yet they still allow for some parts of a Jew’s life
being conducted in the secular world. For the ultra-Orthodox
movements, only a segregated Jewish community where
premodern Jewish laws and beliefs prevail exclusively is
acceptable. The ultra-Orthodox work to recapture the way of
premodern Jews, and they reject all other forms of Judaism and
all pluralism. There is only one truth and one way of life.
Since the mid-1970s, the ultra-Orthodox have operated in Israel
with an influence much greater than their minority numbers
would suggest. All ultra-Orthodox Jews share in the desire to
make the public life of the secular state of Israel more
religiously observant; however, within the ultra-Orthodox
movement there is diversity of approach, ranging from those
who reject all political forms of Zionism to those who embrace
a religious messianic Zionism.
Premodern Judaism
The people of Israel—really a collection of tribes—
suffered under weak leadership until David, the second king
over Israel, who established Israel as a nation. For the brief
period of time that David and then his son Solomon reigned,
Israel claimed to be the greatest nation in the Middle East.
After the time of King David, from the eighth century BCE
forward, it was with the teachings of the prophets that Jewish
monotheism became fully formed, moving the people’s thinking
of Israel’s tribal God as one god among many to viewing God as
the creator of all things and all peoples. This God would, when

necessary, use other nations to punish Israel if they failed to
keep the covenant, which is exactly how the misfortunes of
Israel came to be interpreted. Jews came to believe that their
very existence was dependent on their commitment to the
covenant.
The great crisis of the Babylonian exile and the amazing and
surprising return from that exile formed the mythic pattern of
Judaic thought and experience. Every story, before and after, is
told through the lens of the exile and return and is meaningfully
integrated into Jewish identity.
The destruction of the temple in 70 CE brought to an end the
diversity of various Jewish sects and movements that had
emerged during the first century. The sect of the Pharisees was
one of the few to survive, and it was these former teachers that
now provided new leadership. They were responsible for
helping Jews forge a new identity, that is, to see themselves as
Jews apart from the land and the temple. In the new model, the
center of Jewish life shifted from written Torah to the oral
tradition, from priest to rabbi, from temple to synagogue, and
from temple altar to family table. They taught that God was a
loving, personal father and that people were to practice acts of
loving kindness, representing an emphasis on ethics. The
rabbinic doctrine of God’s revelation through the dual Torahs—
written and oral—became the normative pattern of Judaism for
the next 1,800 years.
Between the second and fifth centuries, insights were taken
from the oral Torah and written down, which became known as
the Talmud. The Talmudic tradition dominated until the
emergence of modernization in the nineteenth century. The
rabbis Hillel and Shammai are given credit for shaping the
Talmudic tradition of dialogue and disputation. In fact, such
dialogue by Hillel’s students gave rise to the Mishnah, the
writings that codify the wisdom of the oral Torah and form the
core of the Talmud. The tradition of commentary that Hillel’s
students in particular started continues to this day and is
integral to the identity of Judaism.

It was the writings that the Pharisees revered and some older
writings that were selected to make up Judaism’s canon, which
includes the Pentatouch, the books of the prophets, historical
writings, and wisdom literature.
The Talmud is said to have been completed by the sixth century,
but in reality it is never complete. That is because the Talmud is
meant to be studied and debated in a communal setting, thus
leaving it open to continuous development. As a matter of fact,
it isn’t even the point when studying the Talmud to reach a
conclusion. Rather, Talmudic debate is a form of religious ritual
that can bring the student of Torah to experience God’s word
directly.
In this model, the rabbi serves as the living link between the
people and the presence of God. The rabbi is considered to be
so close to God that the pattern of his life and his performance
of healings and miracles reveal the presence of God. He is also
the organizer and leader of the community, to whom everyone
turns for guidance and wisdom.
The status of Jews and their treatment deteriorated as Christians
gained dominance after the fall of the Roman Empire.
Discrimination and persecution became routine. In the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, Jews in Western Europe benefited
when the splintered groups of Christians fought among
themselves; that distraction gave Jews temporary relief from
violence from Christians. But at the same time, in Eastern
Europe new waves of violence broke out against Jews, and
everywhere across Europe the continuing existence of Jews was
seen as “the Jewish problem.” Only in Rome were Jews not
persecuted for being Jewish. The colonial domination of Jews
by Christians did not really end until the establishment of the
state of Israel in the twentieth century.
Kabbalistic mysticism emerged in the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries, a time of intense persecution for Jews. This powerful
mystical response to persecution and expulsion, especially as
later adapted by Hasidism, was naturally a threat to the
established rabbinic emphasis on Talmudic study. But

eventually, Hasidic mysticism and Talmudic study were blended
and the Hasidic practice of totally immersing oneself in
community life, in time, the mystics proved that they actually
brought an element of rejuvenation to Judaism. By the
nineteenth century Rabbinic Judaism had accepted the Hasidic
movement and considered it to be an authentic expression of the
way of Torah.
Modernity
The first “modern” form of Judaism to emerge during the
Enlightenment movement in Europe was Reform Judaism.
Reform Judaism was very open to secular society, rejected the
Talmud as revelation, rejected belief in a literal coming of the
messiah, and renounced any desire to return to the land of
Israel. By way of rejecting the positions of the Reform
movement, the next movement to emerge was Orthodox
Judaism. While Reform Judaism believed in accepting constant
change as the historical law, the Orthodox believed in resisting
all change. Orthodox was a reverse image of Reform in every
way. For the Orthodox, God only revealed himself in the eternal
unchanging truths given at Sinai.
Seeking middle ground between the two extremes,
Conservative Judaism arose among Jews who were sympathetic
to the modern intellectual worldview of Reform Judaism but
were also committed to the Orthodox way of life. Conservative
Judaism has been the most influential and popular form of
modern Judaism in America.
In response to the discrimination of Jews in the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries, three major forms of secular Judaism
formed in the twentieth century: Jewish Socialism, Ethnic
(Yiddish) Judaism, and Jewish Zionism. Of these three, Zionism
took the most extreme position in solving once and for all the
centuries of persecution and rejection in a world where Jews
could not be safe anywhere—Jews needed a state of their own
where they could protect themselves. Zionism, as a philosophy

and action, took off after the Holocaust when it was more
evident than ever that Jews could never count on being treated
as equals in Europe.
Postmodern Trends
The Holocaust took the meaning of persecution, exile, and
despair to a new devastating level for Jews. Still, following the
pattern of exile and return, Jews once again found hope—this
time in the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
What characterizes post-Holocaust Judaism is its
postmodern attitude toward pluralism in the practice of Judaism.
After the Holocaust, some post-Holocaust Jewish theologians
argue, all Jews are obligated to accept each other in all their
diversity. Such Jews see the holy and the secular as
complementary, and they see historical change as the medium
through which God reveals himself in time.
