A student must write on a particular photographer or body of images, or on a historical period in which the student is interested, etc. Project topics must establish links between photographic works and the contexts in which they were created.  Papers are researched using scholarly, responsible sources such as books, exhibition catalogues, and articles. (chiefly from the JSTOR database). Websites, Wikipedia, blogs and other such informal sources are NOT ACCEPTABLE as research.

Research projects will produce carefully-crafted papers of between 7 and 10 pages in length.

Papers are double-spaced, formatted with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch
margins throughout.

Supporting images with full caption information appear after the bibliography, which follows the body of the paper. In-text citations and the corresponding bibliography must be formatted per the
Chicago Manual of Style.

I am able to provide login info for databases, and answer any additional questions if needed. Sources in Annotated Bib can be changed if needed.

WeWork consultation

April 10, 2021 Leave a comment Business and Management, Undergraduate

To: Consultant
From: Mary Smith, Partner, CanesConsulting
Subject: WeWork consultation

Our new client, WeWorks CEO Sandeep Mathrani, will be coming in to discuss the companys future. Plan to speak with Mr. Mathrani for three to five minutes about how the company can raise more capital. Note that it may still want to go public despite its failed attempt at a traditional IPO in 2019 so you should propose one of two options: 1. suggest a new private investor for the company and explain why WeWork should remain private for now; or 2. recommend that it merge with a SPAC (special-purpose acquisition company) and explain why WeWork should go public in the coming months. Please address arguments for and against both options, discuss how majority owner, SoftBank Group, would be affected by your recommendation, and consider which strategy is most sustainable for the company long-term.

Culinary Arts – Breakfast Proteins

April 10, 2021 Leave a comment Economics, Not applicable

Which of the proteins listed above are plant-based? Beans are the winner here, and they are an amazing addition to any meal. Have you ever had beans at breakfast?

Today, you’ll be researching other plant-based proteins (especially those that you may not be familiar with) that you can add to breakfast.  Plant-based proteins are lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, and they’re often rich in fiber and other vitamins and minerals too.

Today, take about 45 minutes to research plant-based proteins. Then, write a paragraph in which you tell me about at least five different food items that contain plant-based proteins that you think would be suitable for breakfast and that you might like to try. Briefly describe each of these and how they may be used at breakfast.  Finally, search online for a delicious-looking breakfast recipe that contains one of these plant-based protein ingredients, and include the link with your paragraph.

Here’s how you will be graded:
Paragraph
– Structure (5 pts) – Contains introductory sentence, supporting details, and concluding sentence.
– Content (10 pts) – Contains at least five different plant-based proteins and describes each, explaining how they may be used at breakfast.
– Link (5 pts) – Breakfast recipe contains plant-based protein

Non-Majors Biology, Unit VI PowerPoint

April 10, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Health Care and Life Sciences

Instructions
In the mid-1950s, the first study linking cigarette smoking to lung cancer was published. In the decades that followed, many other studies supported this finding and a host of other health-related effects attributed to smoking were uncovered.
Over the last few decades, cities and states have created local regulations prohibiting smoking in certain public places. In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was given regulatory authority of all tobacco products.
Chapter 20 of your textbook begins with a comparison of two sources of inhalable nicotine: traditional tobacco cigarettes and E-cigarettes. Because E-cigarettes are a relatively new technology, less is known about the long-term effects of the firsthand and secondhand inhalation of vaping products. However, in recent years they have been treated and regulated similarly to traditional cigarettes. 

Your assignment for this unit is to create a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation that covers the following elements:
the anatomy and physiology of respiration (e.g., explain how breathing works);
the effects of the inhalation of smoke and E-cigarette vapor on gas exchange in the lungs;
specific diseases associated with smoking, both pulmonary and cardiovascular; and
lastly, based on what you know about E-cigarettes from the reading and your own research, defend or oppose the regulation of vaping products as traditional cigarettes.
You will need to cite and reference at least one article from the CSU Library databases as one of your sources of information.
Library Database Instructions
Open the  Online Library link in your student portal.
Under “discovery search,” click the tab for “articles.””
In the keyword search field, type keyword “vaping” and/or “E-cigarette” to find articles that cover this topic. You may get different results doing separate searches for each keyword. The keywords “electronic cigarette” may also be used.
From the list of available articles that comes up, select one that interests you.
Click on the article link, then click on “PDF full text or HTML full text,” and read the article. (Note: Not all articles will provide the full text; if your choice does not, you will have to select a different article.)
Discuss what you learned from your chosen articles in 1-2 slides in your presentation. Cite the article according to APA guidelines, and list it on your references slide.
PowerPoint slides should not contain a lot of text; use speaker notes to provide the details of your presentation. The general practice is to use no more than 5-6 bullet points per slide. The quality and depth of your speaker’s notes will be significantly factored into your grade.

Title and reference slides should be included. These do not count toward the 10- to 12-slide requirement. In addition to providing references on a reference slide, you need to cite your material in the slides as appropriate; use APA format for your references and citations.
Suggestions for Searching for Illustrations
Use at least 3 images in the presentation. When looking for illustrations to use, it is suggested that you type the subject into a search engine and click “images.” For your presentation, you are allowed to copy and paste images (being sure to cite and reference them). However, you are NOT allowed to copy and paste content, such as text, tables, and the like. As much as possible, your presentation needs to be in your own words.
PowerPoint Guidance
Do you need to refresh your knowledge concerning PowerPoint? Review this tutorial on PowerPoint Basics.
Click on the Notes tab on the right side of the tutorial screen to see a transcript of the PowerPoint webinar.
You can also search online for information concerning best practices about what should and should not be done when creating a PowerPoint presentation.
Notes:
As directed in the tutorial above, pay attention to the background and font colors in your presentationtry to avoid using plain black text on a white background, but also avoid using colors that are visually difficult to see (such as yellow text on a light background) or that are unpleasant (such as red text on a yellow background). Strive for a pleasing, visually appealing appearance.
Reminder: The speaker notes should provide the detail and discussion of your presentation, and everything in the presentation should be in your own words, not copied and pasted from a source.

Discussion: Politics and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Regardless of political affiliation, individuals often grow concerned when considering perceived competing interests of government and their impact on topics of interest to them. The realm of healthcare is no different. Some people feel that local, state, and federal policies and legislation can be either helped or hindered by interests other than the benefit to society.

Consider for example that the number one job of a legislator is to be reelected. Cost can be measured in votes as well as dollars. Thus, it is important to consider the legislators perspective on either promoting or not promoting a certain initiative in the political landscape.

To Prepare:
    Review the Resources and reflect on efforts to repeal/replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Resources:
https://www.congress.gov/

https://www.nursingoutlook.org/article/S0029-6554(17)30262-2/fulltext

https://www.house.gov/

https://www.senate.gov/

https://www.senate.gov/senators/leadership.htm

    Consider who benefits the most when policy is developed and in the context of policy implementation.

By Day 3 of Week 3
Post an explanation for how you think the cost-benefit analysis in terms of legislators being reelected affected efforts to repeal/replace the ACA. Then, explain how analyses of the voters views may affect decisions by legislative leaders in recommending or positioning national policies (e.g., Congress’ decisions impacting Medicare or Medicaid). Remember, the number one job of a legislator is to be re-elected. Please check your discussion grading rubric to ensure your responses meet the criteria.
