 In a minimum 250 word paragraph. Discuss in detail at least three popular sources you chose for your essay, what section of the essay you will use them in, and what makes each a good source. The most effective way to organize this is one by one. Finally, discuss whether you decided to include a statistic and why or why not.

Pay attention to the following terms as you read the Introduction and chapter 1 of Tatum’s book. 

– Prejudice

– Cultural racism

– Internalized oppression (or internalized racism)

– Systemic racism (or “racism as a system of advantages based on race”)

– Active racism

– Passive racism

– Active anti-racism

Provide a brief definition for each of these terms. Then select three out of the seven terms and discuss they ways in which they relate to Asian American history during the exclusionary period (pre 1952/1965) in about 150 words.

Then write another paragraph of about 150 words applying three terms (the same terms or different terms) to the present situation of Asian Americans (post 1952/1965). If you believe that Asian Americans don’t experience any form of racism presently, then say so and defend your opinion.

Non Verbal Essay

Observe two people in a conversation from a distance – you should not be able to hear what theyre saying. Make sure you are in a public place and the people you are watching do not know you are observing them. Watch the two individuals as they converse or interact for about five to ten minutes and make note of their artifactual communication, kinesics (gestures, body movements and posture), affect display — facial expressions/emotional expressions, eye movements, proxemic (distance), and haptics touch communication (or lack of it). From your observations write a short two page about 600 words — descriptive essay about the nonverbal communication and the nature of the relationship that you observe. The essay must have an introduction, body, and conclusion. Explain your choices. Be sure to integrate and underline at least five book terms from the chapter on nonverbal communication use some of the terms I underlined in this paragraph 10 points will automatically be deducted if the book terms are not incorporated into the essay not listed, but actually used correctly to describe part of the observation.

The following questions should be answered within your essay:

  1. What is the communication context? Describe the location, time of day, clothes each is wearing, gender of each, estimated age of each person, and any other relevant information to set up the observation.
  2. What does the nonverbal communication of the individuals reveal to you? Give examples.
  3. What is the relationship between the two people? What makes you think so?
  4. Is there a more dominant member of the pair? What makes you think so?
  5. What is the emotional state of the two persons? Why do you think so?
  6. What have you learned as a result of this assignment? Is this useful?
  7. Should have a general introductory paragraph before describing conversation and at the end, a separate conclusion paragraph that wraps up whole essay

The following are NOT book terms:

Eye Contact Eye Movements Nonverbal Communication

Facial Expressions Dominance Submissive

Software Design Specification (SDS) Document

Assignment: Software Design Specification (SDS) Document

In this assignment, you need to create a Software Design Specification (SDS) document based on the first three phases of this project. Once your SDS is completed your team should be able to move on to system implementation using your designs as a blueprint.

To assist you with completing this document, please examine the following example: https://www.slideshare.net/RaviYasas/example-for-sds-document-in-software-engineering

Write a Software Design Specification document in which you:

– Summarize the main points for the first three phases of this project.

– Create all of the required diagrams from Phase 2 and 3 and fill in any gaps that may – have been identified as you have progressed through this course.

– Demonstrate in your SDS a thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in this course by providing new thoughts and insights related to the previous phases.

– Use at least four quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources

1. Fully develop your ideas:  While there is no specific page requirement, students are expected to fully develop their ideas using business communication language.  This means you must demonstrate to your professor you have absorbed the material and understand it.  A statement of fact should be supported by two or three sentences.  A paragraph should only contain one idea.  A fully developed idea doesnt mean an exhaustive explanation in which students write everything they know, just enough to get the point across to the reader.

2. Make sure you do your own work: 

Include charts or diagrams created in MS-Project. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

Case Study 2: Mortgage Approval Time Study

Read the following case study:

A major financial services company wishes to better understand its mortgage approval process. In particular, the company is interested in learning about the effects of credit history (good versus fair), the size of the mortgage (<$500,000 versus >$500,000), and the region of the United States (western versus eastern) on the amount of time it takes to get a mortgage approved. The database of mortgages approved in the last year is accessed, and a random sample of five approved mortgages is selected for each of the eight combinations of the three variables. The data are shown in the table

Mortgage Approval Time Study

Credit HistoryMortgage SizeRegionApproval Times (days)Approval Times (days)Approval Times (days)Approval Times (days)Approval Times (days)Good<$500,000Western5950646247Fair<$500,000Western8158696574Good>$500,000Western3852586065Fair>$500,000Western146159133143129Good<$500,000Eastern2826384121Fair<$500,000Eastern4253405064Good>$500,000Eastern4931494238Fair>$500,000Eastern106115126118138

First, conduct an analysis using the following steps:

  1. Use the data shown in the table to conduct a design of experiment (DOE) in Microsoft Excel in order determine the nature and magnitude of the effects of the three variables on mortgage approval times. What are the key drivers of this process?
  2. Determine the graphical display tool (e.g., Interaction Effects Chart, Scatter Chart, et cetera) that you would use to present the results of the DOE that you conducted in Question 1. Provide a rationale for your response.
  3. Assess the data sampling method. Our sample contained only five mortgages per combination. Under what circumstances would it have been appropriate to select a larger sample? Is a sample of five mortgages adequate to access the relative magnitudes of the effects of the variables? What sample size would you recommend? What could you learn from a larger sample size? (Hint: Look back at chapter 2, 3, 5, and 6 for discussion of sampling.)
  4. Provide other variable responses that might be of interest to measure and study. (Hint: If you were getting a mortgage or a loan, what are the two most important measures of the process you would have to go through?)
  5. Propose one overall recommendation to the financial services company, based on the DOE, that could help reduce mortgage approval times.
  6. Use to identify at least two quality references to support your discussion. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Second, create a PPT presentation to communicate the data analysis you completed. Your presentation must follow these formatting requirements:

  • A PPT presentation with at least 10 slides that include the answers to questions 1 through 5.
  • A reference slide which follows APA format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Formatting of the slides should be consistent and easy to read.
  • Cover slide containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.
  • Note: The cover slides and the reference slides are not included in the required assignment slides length.
