Month: May 2018

General Remarks
Overall you have a clear structure, but the aspects for improvement are in terms of the analysis of whether reforms should be introduced or not. You have, however, discussed at length the benefits and disadvantages of the Salomon principle, so additional analysis or a deeper evaluation of the concept would help you improve. There were some minor spelling/grammatical errors which could be rectified with further checking before submission.

Question:
Examine and critically reflect upon the feedback given on your first assignment and draft a response to the feedback that demonstrates improvement on your work.

For example:

• If a comment made by the marker in coursework 1 is that greater linkage between a number of sources would improve the answer, you can make use of coursework 2 to demonstrate how the sources could be linked more closely.
• If a comment made by the marker in coursework 1 invites the student to conclude a particular argument, you can make use of coursework 2 to conclude that particular answer.
• If the marker of coursework 1 suggests that additional sources could be used to support a certain point, you can use coursework 2 to identify these sources and point to their relevance in answering the question.
• If minor points relating to grammar, syntax and referencing are made by the marker in coursework 1, you could demonstrate the correcting of these errors in coursework 2.
• If an element of coursework 1 is pointed out as being particularly good, you could make use of coursework 2 to ensure they understand why it was particularly good and also highlight how this could have been applied to other areas of their work.

* you will be replying to the markers comments, which writter done it as your general feedback, as well as in your returned documents, as comments in track changes

If you consider your path as a student from the first day of class to now, you may observe that you are also working on a lifelong project. You will reflect on your college-level career as a project and analyze it using standard tools and techniques. A Gantt chart provides a quick and exact view of a project’s schedule. Read Text 6 (file uploaded). Download and install ProjectLibre link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/projectlibre/?source=directory -1. Review the Gantt Chart sample (file uploaded). Create a Gantt chart that maps to your academic career—the Courses and dates (file uploaded) you have taken, you are currently enrolled in, and the courses you expect to take in the future using ProjectLibre. Save your Gantt chart ProjectLibre file and upload it. Do not take screenshots. The Gantt chart shows all the courses included in the curriculum. The chart accurately reflects the sequencing of courses as they appear in the curriculum. 2. In 1 paragraph (6 sentences or more), indicate the critical path. The critical path for the Gantt Chart that you created has been analyzed according to the current sequence of activities. 3. In 1 paragraph (6 sentences or more), discuss the effects of your Gantt Chart scenario on the overall time line of your academic career thoroughly analyzed. Note: Do not plagiarize. Do not write introduction or conclusion and do not write or include any references.

illustrate how you would address this question using one of the qualitative research methods covered in material provided from week 6 onwards ( e.g Focus group). You should describe what execution of this method would involve and require, what kind of data you are likely to collect and how this will be analysed. You will also address the advantages this method or strategy offers compared to possible alternatives as well as difficulties, weaknesses and limitations. Your commentary is expected to be critical and reflective, rather than simply descriptive.

To complete this assignment successfully you need to fulfill what is asked on these guidlelines.

I suspect that many of you are worried about what a sensible structure is,but hypotheses and sampling are less relevant now, and you have covered ethics so can include that.
Structure:
1. Introduction
2. Research question (you probably will not have hypotheses because you will be using an inductive method)
3. Data collection technique (including a brief discussion of the sample and the technique used): ethnographic methods (e.g. participant observation), interviews, focus groups, recordings of naturalistic speech

4. Ethical considerations (if relevant)

5. Method for data analysis (ethnogrpahic analysis, thematic analysis, conversation analysis)

6. Conclusion

This assignment focuses on change and the implementation of a decision. This project allows students to demonstrate what they have learned in weeks 6-8 by applying the course material to a business decision. Students will evaluate the interaction with stakeholders, management of decision consequences and change in implementing a decision. Students should review all learning activities and assignments to ensure an understanding of key concepts.

The purpose of this assignment is to have the student demonstrate how implementation of a decision involves change within an organization.

Instructions:

You are the CEO of SunPower, Inc. The job of implementing the Board of Directors’ decision to move the company to New Mexico has been delegated to you. Before anything can be done in carrying out the decision, the consequences of implementing the decision must be evaluated. Stakeholders are vital to the organization and it is necessary to consider how the decision will impact them. Also, the decision will impact the business concern so be sure to consider all aspects of how the decision will impact the business.

Then create a plan that will address the changes that will occur as a result of the decision’s implementation. The reasons for the choices you have made in the plan should take into account the material discussed in class and focus on communicating and creating change.

Step 1: Review “How to Analyze a Case Study” under Week 4 Content.

Step 2: Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced, 12-point font. The final product will be between 5-6 pages in length excluding the title page and the reference page.

Step 3: Review the grading rubric for the assignment.

Step 4: Follow this format:
•Title page with title, your name, the course, the instructor’s name;
•Introduction paragraph in which the decision process is described and its significance in business. The introductory paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper but is typically written after writing the body of the paper (Questions students responded to above). View this website to learn how to write an introductory paragraph: https://www.writing.ucsb.edu/faculty/donelan/intro.html
•Body Paragraphs
•Summary paragraph. A summary paragraph restates the main idea(s) of the essay. Make sure to leave a reader with a sense that the essay is complete. The summary paragraph is the last paragraph of a paper.

Step 5: In writing a case study, the writing is in the third person. What this means is that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link:https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person

Step 6: In writing this assignment, students are asked to support the reasoning using in-text citations and a reference list. A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa. View the sample APA paper under Week 1 content.

Step 7: In writing this assignment, students are expected to paraphrase and not use direct quotes. Learn to paraphrase by reviewing this link: https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_paraphrase2.html

Step 8: Read critically and analyze the scenario provided under Week 8 Content.

Step 9: Write down or highlight key facts from the scenario. Consider making an outline to capture key points in the paper.

Step 10: In your paper, respond to the following elements:
•Identify and discuss consequences to stakeholders and the business concern that will be impacted by implementing the decision;
•Develop a plan for implementation that addresses the change.
•Use a model of change as part of the Implementation Plan

Step 11: Using the grading rubric as a comparison, read through the paper to ensure all required elements are presented.

Step 12: Proofread the paper for spelling and grammatical issues, and third person writing.

Stakeholders to the decision were identified and discussed clearly, accurately and comprehensively delivering all relevant information.

All of the business consequences to the decision (example: keeping production going, costs of down time, costs of moving machines etc.) were explained and additional business concerns discussed accurately and comprehensively delivering all relevant information.

All of the steps needed to create change that the company must do to make move possible were identified and discussed clearly, accurately, and comprehensively presented delivering all relevant information. Communication specifically addressed.

Concepts and ideas are fully developed. Thinking is consistent in accurately interpreting questions and material/provides solid assumptions, reasoning and evaluation with sound conclusions. Reader can easily follow the author’s logic and reasoning.

Arguments or positions are well-supported with evidence from the readings/experience; ideas go beyond the course material and recognize implications and extensions of the material and concepts.

The subject the essay needs to be written in regards is Science being taught to secondary school children 7,8,9

ASIGNMENT 5

A case study of 5000 words which reflects upon an individual or a small group of pupil/s and show how this person/s have developed over a short period of time, or alternatively, what could be done to enhance their development in the future.

Ethical Issues

It must be stressed that trainees will NOT be researching into individual pupils themselves. They will be researching what the school or college does to help, support and educate pupils with a particular need.

Trainees will need to acknowledge that their study is ethical; which means; that they are doing nothing in their study that isn’t part of the normal teacher’s role in the classroom. They will also ensure that any notes kept are anonymised so that the school, any pupil or other involved individuals cannot be identified. They will discuss their planned Case Study with their school mentor as well as their University tutor and will seek the necessary permissions from the school.The subject the essay needs to be written in regards is Science being taught to secondary school children 7,8,9

Hi, i am studying anthropology and i am currently planning my fieldwork for my dissertation class. As part of my work i need to include literature summaries of anthropological methods used in the research aswell as literature that links to my work, in this case religion and community, as i am studying churchgoers at my local church.

Please follow the following guideline;
1. Max 300-350 words on the actual literature summary
2.considering the word count it would be best to split it 5 different summaries. Remember to summarise one reading for each summary!

Split it up like this ;
please summarise the key parts that the author outlines in regards to the topic i point out for each summary
1.writing ethnographic fieldnotes (emerson:1995)
2.what is participant observation and its usefulness
3.reflexivity- what ethical issues needs to be considered when one enters the field of research
4. Religion- Emile durkheims thoughts on religion and how his work is useful in anthropology when studying people who are religious.
5. Community- discussion of concepts, social relationships and sentiments (vered amit:2002)

I will upload readings that i have to use but in the case that i do not you can use readings in your disposal but please remember to stick to anthropology and the topics i have outlined for each section it is a MUST!
for the participant observation section it would be useful to use readings from Malinowski but any other is also useful for the community section if in the case you do not have access to the reading I have outlined then find one similarly to it.

Textbooks: Required are (1) J. McKay, B. Hill and J. Buckler, A History of Western Society(Boston: Houghton Mifflin),any edition; AND (2) B. Viault, Modern European History (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1990)

SUBTOPICS AT THE HEAD OF EACH ITEM YOU DISCUSS. Remember to paginate your work.
Chronicle and analyze the methods used for the A) territorial buildup and B) social/national unification
of (1) Italy, and (2) Germany. Then compare and contrast the two with each other.
Itemize your answers into three sections and number them: One for Italy, One for Germany, and a third
