Assignment Details create a detailed sentence outline for your research paper. Your outline should include the following: •Thesis statement: Because you are writing an argument or persuasive paper, your thesis must state a clear stance on the topic that you have selected. The thesis should be written in the third person and not be more than one sentence long. This thesis does not have to be the same as your thesis in the Unit 1 Individual Project. Your new thesis will most likely reflect the research and reflection that you have done since then. You may have even changed your initial stance. •Main points or claims: You should include at least 3 main points or claims to support your thesis. These main points should be complete sentences that are phrased entirely in your own words. The main points represent a synthesis of your research on the topic: source readings, discussion with others, and personal reflection combined to produce your thesis. These are not necessarily the same main points that you used in your Unit 1 IP. Because you have researched this topic, you may have gained additional insights, evidence, and arguments that will be reflected in this new thesis and main points. •Notations of source usage: Beneath each main point, you should indicate how information from sources may be used to support each point. Because you have not yet written the paper, you do not know for sure how you will use the information from your sources. You are still in the planning stage; however, at this stage, you should be able to indicate with some accuracy how source material will help you develop your main points. Be sure to provide in-text citations. •APA reference list: Provide an alphabetized list of the sources that you plan to use to support your main points. These do not have to be the same sources that you listed in the Unit 2 IP. Each of the sources should be listed as a reference citation in correct APA style. This list should have the word “References” in boldface at the top. Content Provides four-sentence outline consisting of thesis and three main points. Each main point is followed by one or more source notations (with in-text citation) of how source may be used in paper. Directly following outline is a Reference citation list in APA of sources used in outline. 40% Critical Thinking Use of sources demonstrates ability to effectively relate concepts and information from the source to the three key claims of an argument. 30% Presentation Posts adhere to college-level standards effective written communication skills, including correct grammar, spelling and mechanics. 10% Interactivity Actively participates throughout the week and provides substantive responses to at least 2 classmate posts following instructions provided. 20 .

Course Textbook Aaron, J. E. (2010). The Little, Brown compact handbook with exercises (2nd custom ed.). New York, NY: Longman. Lester, J. D., Lester, J. D., Reinking, J. A., & von der Osten, R. (2010/2011). Strategies for writing successful research papers (2nd custom ed.). New York, NY: Pearson Learning Solution s. This assignment has three parts total: Topics Inventory, Controlling Idea Statement, and Short Proposal. Submit all three parts in one document. Part I: Topics Inventory For the Topics Inventory, you will construct a list of topics from which you may choose one to develop into a Research Paper for this course. This exercise is based on the models on p. 318 of Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers , so you will want to refer back to this page for examples. (NOTE: The book does not always provide three possible topics per category, but you will be required to do so. Please see the Unit I Example. Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to help you formulate an inventory of topics that you are interested in so that you may choose one to research in Unit II and develop into a Research Proposal. Be sure to choose a topic that you are invested in, as you are more likely to be motivated and excited about a subject that interests you. You will want to choose a topic that is academically viable, for as Lester et al (2011) state, "You can’t write a personal essay and call it a research paper, yet you can choose topics close to your life" (p. 318). Description: You will supply three (3) possible topics in each of the following four (4) categories: 1. Academic subject 2. Social issue 3. Scientific subject 4. Cultural background Within each of these four (4) categories, you will supply three (3) possible academic topics. Use the following format to organize your topics inventory: 1. Personal interest 2. The category (repeated from above: academic study, social issue, scientific subject, and cultural background) 3. Three possible academic topics (each should be distinctive, developed, and as specific as possible ) After you complete Part I, you will have twelve (12) possible topics that you could choose from and develop into a research project. You will choose one of these and work with the same one for Part II and Part III. Example: Academic study 1. Personal interest: Cars 2. Academic subject: Eco-engineering 3. Possible academic topic: • "The Fate of Hybrid Vehicles: The Cost Is Not Worth the Environmental Toll" • "Hydrogen Cars: Are They a Safe Alternative?" • "Electric Cars Are Not ‘Saving’ Environmental Resources, Only Saving • Money at the Gas Pump" The Topics Inventory is worth 40 points of this assignment. Part II: Controlling Idea Statement Understanding your controlling idea will aid you in your research endeavor in Unit II as you launch into researching materials to help you better develop your research paper.

PART1 (WEEK1) Introduction Over the eight weeks of the course, you will work on a paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You will select a topic, choose an issue related to that topic, thoroughly research both sides of the issue, and then write a paper that supports one side or the other of the issue. Your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules. Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course: Instructions Topic: Artificial intelligence State the topic (Artificial Intelligence) State the specific issue you will explore. This must be stated either as a question ("Should prostitution be legalized?") or a whether-or-not statement ("Whether prostitution should be legalized"). For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think you will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect. You are not confined to three aspects only, but you must develop at least three. As you develop your paper, you may find other aspects that you deem more relevant, and may add or substitute those. Example: For the topic of prostitution, you might examine the aspect of personal autonomy, public health aspects, and law enforcement aspects, at a minimum. Example: For the topic of free healthcare for undocumented persons, you might address economic aspects, ethical aspects, and public health aspects, at a minimum. PART 2 (WEEK3) Introduction This week you continue to work on your paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You have selected a topic and chosen issues related to that topic; this week, you will thoroughly research both sides of the issues you have chosen. Keep in mind that your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules; the assignment this week is to research both the pro and con sides of the issues you have chosen to address.

In this SLP you will identify where the major transportation modes are used in the EESC from SLP3: rail, inland water, ocean steamer, and/or OTR. There are five basic transportation modes: rail, inland water ways, ocean, over-the-road, and air. We will not be concerned about air transport in this SLP as it is the least used and most expensive in general supply chain transportation. Review and read these resources on these three transportation modes: rail, inland water, and OTR. Ocean is not included in these readings since it is mainly used for importing and exporting. This will be covered in more detail in LOG502. But you are asked to identify where ocean transport is used, but not in detail. RESOURCES - SEE SLP 3 RESOURCES IN BACKGROUND PAGE Session Long Project Review the EESC from SLP2. Identify in the EESC where each of the four modes of transportation are used: rail, inland water, ocean, and OTR. You can use topic headings for each mode.

In this module, we looked at a variety of styles in the Renaissance in Italy. Artists like Botticelli, Bellini, Michelangelo, and Bronzino all incorporated Renaissance characteristics into their works, and yet their works look different from each other. To address form and content in the artistic developments and trends that took place in the Renaissance, look closely at examples from each of these artists. Choose one painting by one of the artists listed above, and identify characteristics and techniques of the Renaissance style. Then, address how the work departed from typical Renaissance formulas to become signature to that artist's particular style. Finally, why did you select this artist? What draws you to their work? .

In this essay you should combine your practice responding and analyzing short stories with support derived from research. So far in class, we have practiced primarily formal analysis. Now I want you to practice "joining the conversation." In this essay you will write a literary analysis that incorporates the ideas of others. The trick is to accurately present ideas and interpretations gathered from your research while adding to the conversation by presenting your own ideas and analysis. You will be evaluated based on how well you use external sources. I want to see that you can quote, paraphrase and summarize without plagiarizing. Remember, any unique idea must be credited, even if you put it in your own words. Choose one of the approaches explained in the "Approaches to Literary Analysis" located at the bottom of this document. Each approach will require research, and that research should provide the context in which you present your own ideas and support your thesis. Be sure to properly document your research. Review the information, notes, and pamphlets I have distributed in class as these will help guide you. While I am asking you to conduct outside research, do not lose sight of the primary text to which you are responding---the story! Your research should support your interpretations of the story. Be sure that your thesis is relevant to the story and that you quote generously from the story. Purpose: critical analysis, Argument, writing from sources Length: approx 1200 words Documentation: Minimum of 4 sources required (one primary source—the story or poem analyzed, and three secondary, peer reviewed journals). (Note: review the material in "finding and evaluating sources.ppt" to help you choose relevant and trustworthy sources.) Choose from the following short stories: The Lottery, Shirley Jackson A Rose for Emily, William Faulkner The Dead , James Joyce The Veldt , Ray Bradbury Hills Like White Elephants, Ernest Hemingway The Cask of Amontillado or The Tell-Tale Heart, Edgar Allen Poe Below are some examples. They are just here to give you an idea of the type of approaches that will work for this essay. 1. Philosophical analysis: How do the stories by Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus reflect the philosophy of existentialism? 2. Socio/cultural analysis: What opinion about marriage and gender roles does Hemingway advance in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber"? 3. Historical analysis:: What social dilemmas faced by African Americans in the 1960s might have inspired Toni Cade Bambara to write "The Lesson"? 4. Biographical analysis: What events in Salman Rushdie's life might have influenced the events in "At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers"? 5. Psychological analysis: How is John Cheever's "The Swimmer" a metaphor for the psychology of addiction? Approaches to Literary analysis Formal analysis - This type of analysis focuses on the formal elements of the work (language.

In this Discussion, pick one film to write about and answer questions below the film descriptions. If it has been a while since you have seen these films, they are available through online sources and various rental outlets. Although I have provided links to some of the films, I cannot guarantee they are still operable. If the links do not work, try your own online sources. Dances with Wolves (1990). Lt. John Dunbar (Kevin Costner) is assigned to the Western frontier on his own request after an act of bravery. He finds himself at an abandoned outpost. At first he maintains strict order using the methods and practices taught to him by the military, but as the film progresses, he makes friends with a nearby Native American tribe, and his perceptions of the military, the frontier, and Native Americans change dramatically. Working Girl (1988) Tess McGill (Melanie Griffith) works as a secretary for a large firm involved in acquiring media corporations such as radio and television. When her boss has a skiing accident, Tess gets a chance to use her own ideas and research, ideas that she has been keeping within herself for years – ideas that are arguably better, and more insightful into mass media practices, than her boss’s ideas were. Schindler’s List (1993). In Poland during World War II, Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) gradually becomes concerned for his Jewish workforce after witnessing their persecution by the Nazis. He initially was motivated by profit, but as the war progressed he began to sympathize with his Jewish workers and attempted to save them. He was credited with saving over 1000 Jews from extermination. (Based on a true story.) Gran Torino (2008). Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood), a recently widowed Korean War veteran alienated from his family and angry at the world. Walt's young neighbor, an Asian American, is pressured into stealing Walt's prized 1972 Ford Gran Torino by his cousin for his initiation into a gang. Walt thwarts the theft and subsequently develops a relationship with the boy and his family. Describe the specific theories, assumptions, or “schools of thought” that the characters in the film have. How do their schools of thought differ? How do the main characters change over the course of a film? How do their goals or desires change? Do they see themselves differently by the end of the film? Which reflective theory from the course best illustrates the process the main characters go through during the film? How so? Would you say that the main characters evolved or grew after learning something that was new, or a new approach, a new theory, or a new understanding of their place in the world? I suggest that you refrain from reiterating the plotline. Rather, stay focused on character changes and the influences on those changes. Be sure to refer to the readings; use proper citations!

In this assignment, I want you to locate two pieces of news detailing how an organization is responding to the COVID-19 crisis. You will turn this assignment into me via a Word Document attached to a separate email titled "extra credit assignment, Your Name" with your actual name in the subject line so I know to save the email for grading. You need to analyze how businesses are handling the current COVID-19 crisis and I want to see if you can track down a press release from the organization, an email to their stakeholders, or even a screenshot of their website in which they explicitly address the actions they are taking in light of this new world we find ourselves in. However, the screenshots, hyperlinks to news stories, etc. are only one component of the assignment, your analysis is far and away from the more important component. Once you have tracked down two examples of how a business/organization is responding to the COVID-19 crisis, I want you to tell me how effective you perceive its action to be. Use any of the vocabulary or concepts that we have learned thus far in the semester to support your analysis. For example, is the business/organization using appropriate new media platforms to reach stakeholders? Is communication timely? Is the organization's tone sincere? What could have been done better? I am expecting one page, double-spaced for the length of your analysis, APA format. The images and or hyperlinks you compile will not be counted towards the length of your writing. .

In the readings thus far, the text identified many early American interests in the Middle East from geopolitical to missionary. Using the text and your own research, compare these early interests with contemporary American interests in the Middle East. In particular, how has becoming 1) a global hegemon after WWII and 2) the concurrent process of ‘secularization’ transformed American foreign policy thought and behavior toward Israel and the Middle East region generally? What themes have remained constant and what appear new? Would you attribute changes more to America’s new geopolitical role after WWII, or to the increasing secularization of American society? Explain carefully. In 500 words .

In the Roman Colony, leaders, or members of the court, were to be: •Local elites•Be freeborn•Between the ages of 22 – 55•Community resident•Moral integrity From the members, two were chosen as unpaid chief magistrates (Judges). They would have to “buy into” that position, but the recognition was worth the financial output. This week's discussion prompter is: Money alone influences others. Please analyze and critically discuss. In your response, remember that all this is about leadership, the context which is set in Rome. .

In the provided scenario there are a few different crimes being committed and each could be argued multiple ways. Steve could be charged with attempted murder. He was stabbing Michelle in the chest repeatedly. Due to the details of the scenario his charge could only be attempted because Michelle got up from the attack and charged Stacy. If she later died from her injuries Steve would/could be charged with murder. Even though he was “visibly drunk” he still maintained the purposely, knowing, or reckless intent to cause harm. He was coherent enough to make statements to her about how much he loved her, but still showed an extreme indifference to life and intent cause serious bodily harm. The biggest obstacle to a murder charge for Steve is his death. He cannot be charged with anything if he cannot be alive to defend himself. This takes care of the Steve factor. Initially Stacy could be found guilty of murder. She knowingly and intentionally took the life of another (Steve). She also expresses an intent to kill when she stated, “I have had enough of you Steve”. From the scenario it is documented that she did not care for Steve and along with her statements, it can be shown that she was “just waiting for the opportunity” to kill Steve. In her favor is the fact that she attempted to stop Steve from harming another person. Her actions, while resulting in the death of another, were in the defense of a harmed person. She possibly saved the life of Michelle by using reasonable force to stop the stabbing. Michelle could be charged with attempted murder as well. She stabbed Stacey in the chest while screaming, “how dare you”. She intended to cause death or serious physical injury. Again, if Stacey died from the wounds suffered, Michelle could/would be charged with murder. It could also be argued that Michelle had no malice aforethought. She was being stabbed and may not have known her actions were wrong. Her extreme circumstance clouded her reasonable decision making and all she was aware of is that her boyfriend, whom she loved, was just killed. This is unlikely but still a small possibility. Without more facts from the scenario it is difficult to fully play out all possibilities. respond to this discussion question in 150 words no references please .

STOP THE MEETING MADNESS HOW TO FREE UP TIME FOR MEANINGFUL WORK BY LESLIE A. PERLOW, CONSTANCE NOONAN HADLEY, AND EUNICE EUN SHARE THIS ARTICLE. HBR LINK MAKES IT EASY. SEE PAGE 41 FOR INSTRUCTIONS. FEATURE STOP THE MEETING MADNESS 62 HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW JULY–AUGUST 2017 EL EN A K U LI KO VA /G ET TY IM A G ES JULY–AUGUST 2017 HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW 63 P Poking fun at meetings is the stuff of Dilbert car- toons—we can all joke about how soul-sucking and painful they are. But that pain has real consequences for teams and organizations. In our interviews with hundreds of executives, in fields ranging from high tech and retail to pharmaceuticals and consulting, many said they felt overwhelmed by their meetings— whether formal or informal, traditional or agile, face- to-face or electronically mediated. One said, “I cannot get my head above water to breathe during the week.” Another described stabbing her leg with a pencil to stop from screaming during a particularly torturous staff meeting. Such complaints are supported by research showing that meetings have increased in length and frequency over the past 50 years, to the point where executives spend an average of nearly 23 hours a week in them, up from less than 10 hours in the 1960s. And that doesn’t even include all the impromptu gatherings that don’t make it onto the schedule. Much has been written about this problem, but the solutions posed are usually discrete: Establish a clear agenda, hold your meeting standing up, delegate someone to attend in your place, and so on. We’ve observed in our research and consulting that real im- provement requires systemic change, because meetings affect how people collaborate and how they get their own work done. Yet change of such scope is rarely considered. When we probed into why people put up with the strain that meetings place on their time and sanity, we found something surprising: Those who resent and dread meetings the most also defend them as a “necessary evil”—sometimes with great passion. Consider this excerpt from the corporate blog of a senior executive in the pharmaceutical industry: I believe that our abundance of meetings at our company is the Cultural Tax we pay for the inclusive, learning environment that we want to foster… and I’m ok with that. If the alternative to more meetings is more autocratic decision-making, less input from all levels throughout the organization, and fewer opportunities to ensure alignment and communication by personal interaction, then give me more meetings any time! To be sure, meetings are essential for enabling col- laboration, creativity, and innovation. They often foster relationships and ensure proper information exchange. They provide real benefits. But why would anyone argue in defense of excessive meetings, especially when no one likes them much? Because executives want to be good soldiers. When they sacrifice their own .

Stoichiometry Lab – The Chemistry Behind Carbonates reacting with Vinegar Objectives: To visually observe what a limiting reactant is. To measure the change in mass during a chemical reaction due to loss of a gas. To calculate CO2 loss and compare actual loss to expected CO2 loss predicted by the balanced chemical equation. Materials needed: Note: Plan ahead as you’ll need to let Part 1 sit for at least 24 hours. plastic beaker graduated cylinder electronic balance 2 eggs 1 plastic cup baking soda (5 g) dropper vinegar (500mL) 2 identical cups or glasses (at least 500 mL) Safety considerations: Safety goggles are highly recommended for this lab as baking soda and vinegar chemicals can be irritating to the eyes. If your skin becomes irritated from contact with these chemicals, rinse with cool water for 15 minutes. Introduction: The reaction between baking soda and vinegar is a fun activity for young people. Most children (and adults!) enjoy watching the foamy eruption that occurs upon mixing these two household substances. The reaction has often been used for erupting volcanoes in elementary science classes. The addition of food coloring makes it even more fun. The reaction involves an acid-base reaction that produces a gas (CO2). Acid-base reactions typically involve the transfer of a hydrogen ion (H+) from the acid (HA) to the base (B−): HA + B− --> A− + BH (eq #1) acid base The base often (although not always) carries a negative charge. The acid usually (although not always) becomes negatively charged through the course of the reaction because it lost an H+. An example of a typical acid base reaction is below: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) (eq #2) The reaction is actually taking place between the hydrogen ion (H+) and the hydroxide ion (OH−). The chloride and sodium are spectator ions. To write the reaction in the same form as eq #1: HCl(aq) + OH- --> Cl- + H2O (l) (eq #3) Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) will dissociate in water to form sodium ion (Na+) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3−). NaHCO3 --> Na+ + HCO3− (eq #4) Vinegar is usually a 5% solution of acetic acid in water. The bicarbonate anion (HCO3−) can act as a base, accepting a hydrogen ion from the acetic acid (HC2H3O2) in the vinegar. The Na+ is just a spectator ion and does nothing. HCO3− + HC2H3O2 --> H2CO3 + C2H3O2− (eq#5) Bicarbonate acetic acid carbonic acid acetate ion The carbonic acid that is formed (H2CO3) decomposes to form water and carbon dioxide: H2CO3 --> H2O(l) + CO2(g) (eq#6) carbonic acid water carbon dioxide The latter reaction (production of carbon dioxide) accounts for the bubbles and the foaming that is observed upon mixing vinegar and baki.

Stock-Trak Portfolio Report Write-Up Guidelines You may want to follow the guidelines below for the final report of your Stock-Trak portfolio performance during the quarter. Your report is not expected to exceed four pages excluding any tables and appendices. 1. On the first page, replicate the investment policy statement (IPS) including your asset allocation that you submitted to the instructor. 2. Explain the funds allocation among different assets that you actually choose in your Stock-Trak portfolio. If your actual asset allocation is different from the allocation in your policy statement, explain the rationale for changing your asset allocations. Here you may think of strategic asset allocation and tactical asset allocation strategies that we discussed in chapter 16. 3. Provide your rationale for selecting the particular securities such as stock, mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, bond funds, real estate funds, etc. for your Stock-Trak portfolio. That is, explain why you considered these securities to be the most suitable in meeting your return-risk goals and asset allocations in the investment policy statement. You may use the portfolio investment philosophies and strategies from chapter 16 such as passive strategies, indexing, top-down approach, style-based strategies, asset attributes-based strategies, and technical analysis in your explanation (see chapter 16 and Exhibit 16.6). 4. Compare the performance of your portfolio relative to a relevant benchmark you stated in your policy statement. If you did not list a benchmark in your IPS, you may use a broader well-known benchmark such as S&P 500 or NADAQ composite, or create and use a hybrid benchmark of stock and bond markets (weighted average of the returns of a stock market index and bond market index). 5. Describe what worked and what did not work in your Stok-Trak portfolio? Explain what mistakes you made and what lessons did you learn from the Stock-Trak portfolio simulation? If you would have to redo this portfolio investment with your actual money or money from your investment clients, what you would do differently in managing such real money portfolios? © 2012 Cengage Learning.
