Instructions: This project requires you to apply the concepts and methods learned so far in the course. This is an individual project.

Please write the research paper in accordance with the Appendix: Case Analysis found in the rear of your text, incorporating APA standards and citing a minimum of five (5) journal sources, and/or business trade resources.

For your HW papers, your paper submission should follow the below stated composition and formatting guidelines; and be composed unto a “Word Document.”

• Title page with your name, course, date, and an appropriate title.
• You can use single or double space, Times New Roman, and 12pt font.
• Support your position.
• When all is done, give a brief conclusion.
• Upon citing works, add a separate reference page.

These APA additions are NOT a part of the word count that should approximate 800-1000 words. Do not simply answer the questions; provide support and articulate a path forward.

Select one composition from the Classical period and create a 8-12 powerpoint slide with narrator notes.

 

 

Imagine you have gone to a performance of your selected composition in the year and location it was originally performed. Of what type of audience are you a part? Describe your experience, including the following:

 

 Description of how melody, harmony, rhythm, and texture are used in music of the era of your selected workHow your experience reflects changes in society and its economy during the Classical period

300 word answer to each essay question with APA formatted citations and references (APA title page and reference page are required

1. Describe the process of perception as a series of steps, beginning with the environmental stimulus and culminating in the behavioral responses of perceiving, recognizing, and acting.
2. Because the long axons of neurons look like electrical wires, and both neurons and electrical wires conduct electricity, it is tempting to equate the two. Compare and contrast the functioning of axons and electrical wires in terms of their structure and the nature of the electrical signals they conduct.
3. What are the two answers (one “simple” and the other “profound”) to the question, “Why is our perception of colors and details worse in dim illumination than in bright illumination?”
4. What is color constancy? Describe three factors that help achieve color constancy. What is brightness constancy? Describe the factors that are responsible for brightness constancy. Lastly, compare and contrast color constancy with brightness constancy.
5. When you walk from outside, which is illuminated by sunlight, to inside, which is illuminated by “tungsten” illumination, your perception of colors remains fairly constant. But under some illuminations, such as street lights called “sodium vapor” lights that sometimes illuminate highways or parking lots, colors do seem to change. Why do you think color constancy would hold under some illuminations, but not others?
6. What is sensory adaptation? How does it occur within the various senses? What function does sensory adaptation serve? Provide a relevant example that illustrates your point.
7. What are the characteristics of the energy that we see as visible light? Provide an example illustrating how these characteristics are expressed when someone sees a rainbow. What types of things (situations and/or objects) can interfere with these characteristics?
8. How does the eye transduce light energy into a neural message? What is the blind spot in the eye and how does it impact the transduction of light energy?
9. How is visual information processed in the brain? What are some things (situations and/or objects) which can impede visual information being processed in the brain? Please include a relevant example to illustrate your answer.
10. What theories contribute to our understanding of color vision? Discuss at least two relevant theories of color vision.

Please respond to this post if you have a communication background or if you are a very proficient essay writer. I need a case study done for my communication class. In reality while the assignment is a case study, there is no major research required. I will upload samples of two case studies so that you can grasp an idea of what I mean by a case study. While the name is called case study it is actually a in depth look at a particular situation.

 

The paper should include; the case study (the case being studied), the communication theory being used ( and its three axioms with explanation), background, analysis, and recomendation.

 

** Really just feel free to go with the flow, just make it sound good and use apa style citation. This is for a sophmore level course so the professor is not expecting anything fancy. The only major thing is to remeber to use the correct communicaton theory and axioms.

Again I am uploading sample papers. I dont want anything fancy just make it sound good. just pick a topic and role with it. and yes the actual paper can be a slighly shorter than the sample papers.
