READER RESPONSE REVISION GUIDE

Did you meet the following requirements:

Introduction

Does the introduction begin with a hook to draw readers in?
Does the introduction sufficiently introduce the topic while remaining specific enough to go beyond what readers likely already know but not too specific for an introduction?
Does the content of the introduction do a good job transitioning from the hook to the thesis statement?
Does the introduction end in a strong thesis statement, a single sentence that captures the main idea of the essay (in this case your primary response claim[s])?
Is the introduction roughly 5-7 sentences (not too short a stub but not too long either)?
Body Paragraphs

Does the essay contain several body paragraphs fulfilling the promise of the thesis statement?
Is each body paragraph organized around a single, clear subtopic?
Is each body paragraph fully developed (avoiding short, stubby paragraphs)?
Does the essay adequately respond to the text you chose as your subject, using clear, correct terminology and effective summary?
Are there bridge sentences the first sentence of each new body paragraph connecting the subtopics clearly and helping readers flow smoothly through the paper?
Conclusion

Does the essay transition smoothly into the conclusion paragraph without using In conclusion?
Does the conclusion reemphasize but not merely restate the thesis and/or main ideas?
Does the conclusion bring a sense of closure to the essay (such that the essay truly ends rather than simply stops)?
Does the conclusion resonate (leave a lasting impression on readers)?
APA Format

Does the essay follow the conventions of APA style, though without using subheadings?
APA-style title page, with different header on title page than on remaining pages (with the running head an abbreviated version of the full title)?
APA-style abstract on page 2
12pt, TNR font, double-spaced, new paragraphs indented, etc.
APA-style references page at the end containing proper APA-style citations for the outside sources used.
Are proper APA-style in-text citations provided for any outside sources used within the essay, whether paraphrased or quoted?
If sources were used, do the in-text citations and reference list entries correspond clearly and exactly (i.e., for each different in-text citation, is there a clearly corresponding reference list entry, and for each reference list entry, is there at least one clearly corresponding in-text citation)?

Timone has decided to sell his old gaming system to buy a new and improved gaming system. The system he is selling includes the control box, two controllers, the gaming monitor, and ten different games. Timone emails Brittany and states in the email that Brittany can purchase the complete gaming system for $450. Brittany emails Timone back and says that she will bring a check to Timones house on Friday by noon.

In one or more fully formed paragraphs, discuss the elements necessary to form a valid contract. Do you think Brittany and Timone have formed a valid contract? Why or why not?

Instructions
This assignments asks you to read some facts and then act as a judge. You will decide if all the elements of a contract have been met. However, you need to FIRST list the elements of a valid contract THEN look at the facts and discuss those facts to decide if that elements has been met. You will need to write multiple paragraphs to get all that discussed. 2-3 paragraphs should be enough.

For example, Jamal asked Tariq if he wanted to buy a computer from Jamal. Tariq said yes by text message, and then said he would not pay more than $500. Jamal never replied and sold the computer to another person. Was there valid offer and acceptance? NO. Jamal made an offer, Tariq replied with some information on price but never heard back from Jamal. No valid acceptance and no true offer.

Country Research Report

October 3, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management

Country to rearch: Japan

Reseach Report Instructions:

You are an International Manager that has just been told you will be setting up a business in the Country you selected last week.  You need to conduct a detailed Country Research Report which is a Country Analysis for the purposes of Market Entry.

Though the business initiative hasnt been discussed yet, you need to analyze the political, economic, legal, technological and cultural environment (which includes ethics, social responsibility and sustainability in addition to other cultural aspects) of the country you selected. 

In your analysis outline the challenges and opportunities of conducting business in that country and provide relevant guidelines and recommendations for entering the market of the country you selected.

Keep in mind you will be examining the country from every possible perspective (i.e. consumer, business, resident, etc.). Your report should be at least a 4 pages.  Make sure you focus on details to support your position and provide supporting evidence using in-text references to show your sources and make sure you provide the corresponding references at the end of your paper.  Your paper needs to be in APA format. And I will say it again, you need to provide detailed explanations.

Use charts and graphs wherever you feel they are necessary, but add the charts and/or graphs to the appendix section and reference them by the name or numbers when you decide to use them in your analysis.  The Appendix section is after the reference section per APA format.  Dont add the physical chart and/or graph to the body of your paper as it will not be counted towards the content page length requirements of the assignment. 

Again, all your sources of information must be clearly referenced. The assignments must be based on research

All papers should be in Microsoft Word and should be correctly formatted per APA rules.  Make sure you use headings to distinguish between the sections of your paper you are discussing.  Again, your paper must follow APA format.

Homework Part1:
Script 1: create a JavaScript program that defines, as an array, a list of 10 of your favorite things. Then, using any loop that you wish (i.e. for, forEach, do/while, etc) print each item from the array to the console.

Script 2: with the same script, add an if statement to test if you are on item #3, if so, print out “Wonderful, made it to item 3!”, and then continue with the loop as normal.

Homework Part 2: 
This time, propose how you can use a loop to enhance the weather alert program from last week. Discuss how the loop would function. You are not expected to write the code.

Last week work for reference:
Here will be the ideas for the program.
We will create string variable for the two state New York and Florida. We will ask the user to enter either New York or Florida. If the user enters New York we will have the following  script using logical comparisons.
1- If the temperature is less or equal 20 degree and has a wind speed less or equal to 45 mph, the program will display A Blizzard is ahead, careful on the roads.
2- if the temperature is more than 20 degree but less than or equal 25 degree and has wind speed more than 45 mph but less than or equal to 60 mph, the program will display “cool weather for outdoor activities”.
3-if the temperature is more than 25 but less than degree 30 and has wind speed more than 60 mph and less than 80 mph, the program will display Blustering winds stay inside!
4- if the temperature is more than 30 degree and has wind speed more than 80 mph, the program will display get ready for the heat waves and it will be very windy for the next days.
5- if the state enter is Florida, the program will display welcome to Florida state with it warm and nice weather and enjoy your time.

Preferences and Production Description

October 3, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Economics

I have attached the paper you completed for reference.  This is an ongoing project for the next couple weeks. 

Need to continue the development of the market by describing consumer preferences and how producers address these needs.  This assignment requires 3-4 pages.

Shoes for Women With Big Feet (Topic)

Preferences and Production
Describe in detail the characteristics of the consumers in the market.
What does demand look like in your market?
Is this demand elastic or inelastic? Why?
Are there obvious substitute goods or services available?
Is there a decreasing marginal utility of consumption? Explain.

Do your best to describe the utility function for a typical consumer of your particular product or service. Justify the functional form youve chosen. Here’s a good explanation of utility function (Links to an external site.) to help you; here’s another (Links to an external site.). You can be creative here, but do put some research into this step. Really think about your product/service and the “satisfaction” that consumers receive from it over time.

If your market has producers:
Describe the production process in detail for your product or service. Are there high fixed costs? Are there high variable costs? What are the production inputs?
In general (non-mathematical) terms, describe the production function. Then, relate this explanation to your specific product or service. You can use your textbook, and/or this resource (Links to an external site.) to help you.

If your market involves only buyers and sellers (e.g., the FCC spectrum auction or the residential housing market), describe (as precisely as possible) the rules of the market.
