Objective: Students will apply memory strategies to a personal/school/life situation
Steps:
1. Imagine that one of your best friends is struggling with his classes. He aspires to graduate in exercise science and go on to earn a degree in occupational therapy, but he failed his first two chemistry exams. Hes feeling nervous about his performance and comes to you for advice. During your discussion, you learn that:
– he gets easily frustrated while working on chemistry problems after approaching them the way he has always approached problems in his other classes
– he is sleeping less than five hours a night
– he works on chemistry homework every Tuesday and Thursday night, but not on other days
– he always keeps his phone on vibrate to check if he gets messages while he studies
– he usually studies by re-reading the chapter
– he pulls all-nighters before exams
2. Based on this conversation, write an email to your friend (minimum of 200 words), explaining to him why his studying habits are ineffective and what steps he might take to improve his learning.
Include appropriate vocabulary from this lesson on memory.
MINIMUM OF 200 WORDS PLEASE.

Assignment Description:
This assignment asks you produce a short recommendation report in accordance with the scenario below. Format your report as a memo (it would be sent as an attachment through email). Cite all sources used in research. Indicate when the wording is not your own with quotes and citation. Paraphrase (do not simply copy-and-paste). Use MLA or APA documentation style.
Situation:
Many companies today provide their employees with professional-development programs, paying for courses they take to enhance their skills.
You are a manager at Halcyon. This is a mid-sized marketing agency, holding its own in a competitive industry, but experiencing the typically higher-than-normal turn-over of such second-tier companies. To date the agency has provided extensive opportunities for employees to seek outside career development. The costs have been considerable, there has been little tracking of results of expenditures on course tuition, and, because the decision to pay for a course is made by each manager, there has been no supervision of all the courses being paid for (in some cases people were reimbursed for classes in cooking and general interest survey courses). Given the current economic climate, the VP of Corporate Development feels the agency can no longer maintain such a generous policy and is trying to phase out the practice completely. The GM has called a meeting of the agency executives to discuss the situation and come to a decision. Jennifer Kulich, the VP of Engagement Strategies, is one of those executives. She is asking all managers to each send her a short recommendation report so she can pool thinking on this issue and present findings at the meeting. In the email you receive, she explains the background (as outlined above) and writes:
What does the research say? What are the benefits and disadvantages of this sort of program for our agency? How should it be done? Is there a way to save it, limit it, modify it or what? What are reasonable expectations for the agency itself and its employees? What about just getting rid of it? Would there be any issues there? Add anything else that is relevant to the topic. Thanks.
On the uploaded, additional material is the rubric of the assignment and also the second attachment is my report. Some ideas I thought of for this assignment.
I have uploaded 4 attached word files with this request. 3 of them are sources, and the fourth is a citation form.
the topic of this essay is violence in video games.
the prompt of this essay do video games lead to violence or not?
basically, my instructor is gonna ask me to take one side of the argument and write about it during class time WITHOUT looking at the sources to check if we can write a good basic composition.
I want you to write a general introduction paragraph, two separated body paragraphs in which one of them is against the idea of violence in video games leading to real-life violence, and the other support the idea. Also, I want you to write a brief conclusion.
1- each body paragraph MUST contain TWO CITATIONS.
2- I want to you to paste the citations in in the attached form of citations word file.
3- this essay does not have to be lengthy 300-350 words are fine, But it must fulfill the conditions related to citations above, since I will use it to help me writing a draft.
