Assignment: Choose a one-minute segment from one of the following works: Noname, Self; tUnE-yArDs, Bizness; Delta 5, Mind Your Own Business; and Nina Simone, I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free. To insure that your TA can precisely follow the timings in your score, please use the versions of these songs that are in our Spotify playlist: Username: sharkstooth / playlist: Lively Arts Graphic Transcription (there is also a link to the playlist on Moodle). You do not have to pay for a Spotify account to access this playlist. If you dont have an account, youll just have to sit through some ads.

Listen to the whole song first, before you choose the minute you want to notateyour one-minute segment can be taken from anywhere in the song; it does NOT have to be the first minute!!!! Find the part that interests you most. Make up your own graphic notation to create a score that reflects what you hear in this minute of music. Then write a short essay describing your transcription: what decisions did you make, and why? What aspects of the song most interested you, and how did you depict them visually? What was most challenging or interesting about making your score? etc.

Specific Requirements and Directions:
1. Once youve chosen your one-minute segment, listen to it carefully many, many times, making note of what you notice about the melody(ies), rhythm, and texture. These three elements will be the foundation of your score, although you will add others as well.
2. Create symbols (lines, shapes, dots, whatever works for your understanding of the music) that you will use to denote pitch and rhythm. Also, create a way to indicate texture (each individual instrument or voice), and melody (every sound has a pitch; but some pitches strung together make a melody that your ear grasps and follows; a song can have more than one melody going on at once).
3. Once you have decided on your basic framework, add colors to symbolize aspects of the song that you think are important or interesting. Colors could be used to indicate timbre, mood, texture, consonance/dissonance, melody, etc. Please use at least two colors, although feel free to use more than two!
4. If you like, you could create a key for your scorea chart breaking down which symbols/colors you used to indicate which elements. Only do this if it seems like it would help you stay organized. If you do make a key, please turn it in along with the score and essay.
5. Create your score. You may use the template provided on the course website (print out the template, then draw your score by hand onto it). The template contains four rectangles with each rectangle representing 15 seconds of your one-minute excerpt. Please time stamp above each bar to indicate the section of music you are notating, e.g. 0:25-0:55. (Remember, you must use the version that is in my Spotify playlist)
a. You are welcome to use this template; but you are also welcome to envision a different way of notating your minute of music. If you want to come up with a different format for your scoreif you dont like the time-stamped rectangles of the provided templateplease feel free to do so! Any way you choose to realize your score is fine, so long as your score includes all the above requirements, is time-stamped in some way so that we can follow along, and you explain your choices clearly in your essay.
6. Write a short (minimum 2 pages, 12 pt. font, double spaced) essay explaining how the shapes, figures, and colors you chose to use in your score reflect the specific musical elements you heard in your selection. Be sure to refer to the Music Portfolio Project grading rubric (on Moodle) to make sure all criteria are met.
7. Email the whole thing to your TAyour score (if you did it by hand, take a picture of it or scan it), your essay, and a key if you made one.

Note: Feel free to be very creative with your score. You can be very free with this assignment, so long as we are able to follow your score, and youre able to clearly describe why you took the approach you took, and why you chose the symbols/colors/etc. you chose. Students have come up with all kinds of really interesting, creative approaches to this assignmentif you have a cool idea but are unsure whether its okay or not, just check with your section instructor!

Assume that your senior design project (or choose a project related to your senior design project) is going to be manufactured in another country. Using the studies provided in Engr 195a/b as a background, write about one of the topics below, and compare it for two countries outside of the United States with very different cultures. Back up your claims with research, and cite at least two sources. Minimum word count: 800

1.How would you recommend changing your design, if your project were to be implemented in these countries? For example, if you implemented your design in China, would the different social and cultural norms necessitate changes to the final design?

2.What human, social, and cultural barriers may result in difficulties implementing your project?

3.How would these different cultures change the manufacturing process and cost? Discuss multiple effects. For example, different countries have different costs of living, union involvement, safety regulations, management styles, etc. Discuss the cultural effects that result in these differences.

The exam covers material from Chapters 1, 2, 3 of the textbook.
There six (6) essay-based questions.

This exam is open-resource (specifically and exclusively, you may access the textbook, your notes, and the recorded lectures for this course. You should NOT use other sources). Your answers must be yours – your own thinking and in your own words. The exam is to be done individually, without collaboration with other students. Do NOT write your exam directly into Bb you may lose work. Write your responses directly into this document, adjusting for as much text space as you need.  The book its attach in the upload files.

For each of your responses be sure to explain your reasoning.   Support your responses by using evidence, using relevant examples when appropriate, showing an understanding of the relevant theory/concepts. BE SPECIFIC, DETAILED, AND EXPLICIT in your answers.

1A     Of the (4) definitions of behavior below, select the one you think is best. In detail explain the reasons for your choice. Your explanation must provide scientific reasons why you think your selection best captures a definition of behavior. What would you add or change to this definition to improve it? Explain your reasoning.

1B. For each of the other three definitions of behavior below, discuss what is useful about that definition and what, if anything, you find lacking and/or problematic.

(i)    Behavior is the coordinated responses of whole living organisms to internal and/or external stimuli

(ii)    Behavior is externally visible activity of an animal, in which a coordinated pattern of sensory, motor, and associated neural activity responds to changing external or internal conditions

(iii)    Behavior can be defined as the way an organism responds to stimulation

(iv)    All observable or otherwise measurable muscular and secretory responses (or lack thereof in some cases) and related phenomena, such as changes in blood flow and surface pigments in response to changes in an animals internal and external environment

2.    You are in the forest and observe that the squirrels in the forest appear to cache* nuts only near certain species of plants.

*(cache = store away in hiding for future use)

Construct a hypothesis for how the specific squirrel caching behavior you have observed can be explained by each of the following: Natural Selection, Individual Learning, Social Learning. Thus, you will have three distinct hypotheses.

Keep in mind a hypothesis is a statement NOT a question.

a.    Natural selection

b.    Individual learning

c.    Social learning (cultural transmission)

3.    You are exploring the islands of Hawaii (lucky you!) and observe that male field crickets are singing less frequently, and upon further observation you notice the file on their wing is reduced.

Using Tinbergens 4 question types/levels of analysis (see below), construct an explanation for the reduction of singing. (Make sure you provide an explanation, and DO NOT phrase as a question.)

a.    Mechanism

b.    Development

c.    Survival value

d.    Evolutionary history

4.    Consider that variation of a behavioral trait is due to genetic input, to environmental influence, and the interaction of genetics and environment. In light of this, explain in detail how the uterine environment in which a fetus matures complicates further our ability to clearly assess genetic and environmental influence on behavioral trait variation.

5.    Define neuroethology. How has neuroethology been used to study learned behavior in voles? Using this example, illustrate the ways that proximate studies of behavior use between-population and between-sex comparisons to help us better understand behavior and its variation.

6.    Honeybees live cooperatively and have a strict division of labor. For example, some honey bees are foragers and some remain in the colony and help nurse larvae. What skills would a forager need have to be good in their role? And explain the evidence to support the claim that foragers are predisposed for their role? Be specific and detailed!
