Final Project: Go Create Something
The Final Project is titled “Go Create Something!” Over the last nine weeks you have been examining technology. You have looked at the impact technology has had on history, culture, and individuals. You observed technology use in your own life and interviewed someone who specialized in the use of old technology.
For your Final Project you will be using technology to create something of your own and describe what types of technology were used in that creation. For example, you could create a paper airplane, which would use the technology of papermaking.
Your Final Project contains two parts, a written component and a visual presentation.
Part I: Written component
Format your written component in APA manuscript style and use proper citation.
The written project must contain the following sections:
Describe the technology used before you encountered the task of creating.
Technology has been in use before you even had a chance to sit down to your project. If you are sewing something, technology has been used to create the fabrics, dyes, and supplies. If you are making a paper airplane, technology has been used to create, package, and ship the paper to where you purchased it. Describe what kinds of technology were used in order to make the supplies you need for your project.
Describe the technology used in the act of creating.
What technology did you use in the creation of the project itself? You would think that there would be no technology in this sort of project, however since the definition of technology includes techniques, one could list the various folds used to create a masterpiece of origami.
What is the history of the methods you used in the act of creating?
How new is the technology you are using to create your project? What is the history of the technology?
Is this technology easily accessible or less accessible?
For example, how much does using this technology cost? How much room does using this technology take? How much education does someone need in order to operate this technology?
What is the future of this method?
Will you use this technology again? How popular is this technology? Is it a technology that will be used often or seldom in the future?
What does your creation and the methods used and technologies used teach us about our larger culture?
What does your project and the technology around it say about the larger society? About history? About gender? About social class? About location?
Prepare for this part of the project by reading the following article from the Writing Center:
Part II: Visual presentation
You will create a visual presentation of your Final Project. You will create a PowerPoint presentation, approximately 6-10 slides. Think of this as a virtual ‘show and tell’ of your final project.

Hi,
I was wondering what the staple foods of east asia are? Also, what are the base spices used, common vegetables, and different sources of nutrition?
Writing a paper on culture and having trouble finding a good overview of this rather than just specific pieces of regional cuisine.
Topic: Nelson Mandela and the Fight for Equality in South Africa
The paper should include:
Written explanation of why the topic was chosen, how the research was conducted, and its relationship to the them (Leadership & Legacy in History). The paper should also include important facts about the topic and what was learned.
Title page and reference(s)
Must be 500 words or more
Religion is not developed or practiced in a vacuum. It influences and is influenced by almost everything else found in culture—food, sexual practice and taboos, rites of passage (birth, marriage, death), entertainment (music, movies, art, literature, sports), healing arts, and understandings of the natural world.
For this project, the learner will choose a topic of interest and show the impact of religion(s). Some broad examples might be: Christian expression in NASCAR, the reflection of Shinto in a piece of Japanese anime (choose one movie/book/game), Buddhism and the martial arts (choose one), Jewish history and belief in regard to tattoo body art. The possibilities are endless. The subject area will need to be precise and manageable. Do not write about Christianity in American politics, for instance, but rather about the Christian voice in the debate on gay marriage in the United States.
Sources may not be “googled” (Google Scholar is not acceptable for this paper) or from sources such as Wikipedia or Ask.com, though these sites may help you find keywords for exploring the databases. Use at least 3 sources.
Additional research materials may include primary sources. For instance, if you are exploring themes from Confucianism in the movie Mulan, the movie may be an additional source. Personal interviews can also be used as additional sources of information.
Use careful MLA style and formatting. Avoid plagiarism by citing ALL sources in the text of the manuscript. This includes quotations, certainly, but also a body of information which you learned from a specific source and which you have put in your own words. At the end of that body of information (a paragraph, for instance), simply cite your source in parentheses.
How much would I have to pay to get this paper done? It has to be at least 1200 words and in MLA format.
You will write 1 Journal Article Reviews, which will be based upon your choices from the professional, peer-reviewed journal articles provided. No outside articles will be accepted. The Journal Article Summary must be 3-5 double-spaced pages (not including the title and reference pages) and created in a Microsoft Word document. Use the following guidelines to create your paper:
I AM ATTACHING THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS PAPER.
I AM ATTACHING THE ARTICLE TO USE.
1. Provide an APA-style title page: making sure you show the title of the article reviewed (must be 12 words or less), your name, and the institution [Liberty University]. They should be double spaced. You should also have the 6th edition running head in the appropriate place and a page number on every page. Please note that the running head on the cover page is different from the one on the subsequent pages. Cover page is the place that many students tend to make mistakes and get points deducted.
After the cover page, you must divide your paper into sections with the following centered/bolded Level 1 headings: Summary, Reflection, and Application. They should be centered and bolded. Everything should be double spaced. Please do not leave extra space between sections except the Reference section which should start with a new page. If you are not sure about the format, please check the APA manual.
2. Develop a brief (at least 1 full page) summary of the article in your own words. Do not copy and paste from the journal article–this is plagiarism! Simply provide a brief description in your own words of the topic under consideration in the article. If the article describes a research study, include brief statements in your own words about the hypotheses, methods, results, discussion, and implications. Do not provide detailed descriptions of the test measures or statistical methods used, if any. Short quotations from the article are acceptable, but they should not be more than 1 – 2 sentences. Direct quotations from the article should also be properly cited. This section should take up about a third of your Journal Article Review. Do not reference any additional articles in your summary. Do not use any personal pronouns in this section. You can usually find the major points of the article from the abstract, although not always the case. The key is to read the article several times and try to fully understand and grasp the themes of the article. And then use your own words to state the main concepts of the article. After you do that, compare your summary with the author’s abstract and see whether you miss any main points of the article. Of course, you should always check your content with the rubric and see whether you miss anything.
3. About the Reflection Section: In your own words, interact (1 full page) with the article. Appropriate comments for this part of the paper should include, but are not limited to, your initial response to the article; comments (in your own words) regarding the study’s design or methodology (if applicable); insights you gained from reading the article; your reasons for being interested in this particular article; any other readings that you may plan to do based upon having read the article; and other thoughts you have that might further enhance the discussion of your article. Every point on the rubric needs to be covered or points will be deducted, which means your reflection needs to have everything required by the rubric, as I mentioned above. This section should constitute approximately a third of your Journal Article Review. Again, there is no need to reference any other article. First person pronouns can be used in this section.
4. The final Application section is how you would apply (1 page) the information you have learned to a potential and specific counseling case. This could be in a church or clinical session. Develop this section as if you are a pastor or clinician and your parishioner or client has come to you with a problem, needing your help. Be specific on the situation and how you are going to apply what you learned from the article in helping the client or counselee. Give the client name, presenting problems, counseling process, etc. Please do not simply describe a general condition. Points will be deducted if the case is not specific enough. Also, make sure that you apply the main concepts and techniques (if applicable) from the article to the case. First person pronouns can be used in this section.
5. Provide the complete reference citation for the article being summarized on a Reference page in compliance with APA standards. This means you need to be aware of how and when you periods, spacing, italics, use or non-use of issue number, etc. Do not bold the reference title. Do not simply “copy and paste” the reference from an electronic source. The article under review should be the only source you cite and put in the reference. No other article or any other source should be used. Since you are not allowed to use any other source, which means ideas from other source cannot be cited, you cannot use any ideas other than the article or your own. Otherwise it will be considered plagiarism. More specific rules on plagiarism will be posted in a following announcement.
Take note of these most common mistakes I have seen from grading student papers:
*Not using proper spacing (double spacing with a default setting of 0-0 = even spacing throughout your papers)
*Not using the proper 1-inch APA margins
*Not using a 6th edition APA Running head
*Not following the directions carefully.
*Falling short of the one-full page requirement for each section!!!!! You can exceed (but not too much) the page requirement, but not short of it.
*Not using New Times Romans/size 12
*Using personal pronouns in the Summary section. A no-no!
*Using 2nd person pronouns in your paper. A no-no! No you, your, yourself
*Forgetting the reference page
*Use contraction in the text. No contraction should be used in a formal writing.
*Did not proofread—writing errors/APA errors
Pay attention to these instructions and try your best. With God’s help, I know you can do it.
Due Weeks 1 through 10 and worth 32 points each week, with a total of 320 points.
A world view is a fundamental or basic orientation of thinking – like a mindset – which guides a culture and / or a person’s life. Like a point of view, it can be built of concepts, ideas, values, emotions, and ethics. Weltanschauung is the German word for this idea. Your goal for this course is to understand the world views of these various religions. In order to prepare you for your final assignment, you will outline the world views of various religions in the chart below, adding to it each week.
For this assignment, students will complete the weekly area of the chart, filling in the aspects of each religion as it is presented in the readings and resources. This chart, when complete, will be the starting point for the written assignment, due in Week 10.
For each weekly submission:
|
Religion |
Origin of All Things |
Nature of God |
View of Human Nature |
View of Good and Evil |
View of “Salvation” |
View of After Life |
Practices and Rituals |
Celebrations and Festivals |

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
After reading Chapter 13 of your course text and viewing Brain Injuries and Fix Me: Unlocking the Possibilities of Stem Cell Research, which cover brain injury and repair, analyze the clinical, biological, and psychological factors that are important in successful brain function recovery outcomes. How can the brain repair itself or restore lost function after TBI or other brain damage (focus on the concept of neuroplasticity)? Wilson (2012) lists ways that the brain can repair itself, but reminds us later in the chapter that, in most areas of the brain, replication of neurons by mitosis to replace lost/dead neurons only occurs in immature brains (i.e., essentially those younger than age two). There are some areas (e.g., the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory) that have neurogenesis, but other areas of the brain must utilize neuroplasticity to restore lost function.
In addition, discuss what clinical, biological, and psychological factors are important in successful brain function recovery outcomes. What are some clinical interventions (e.g., medication, surgery, stem cell therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation techniques, and psychotherapy) that help facilitate the restoration of lost brain function? Include information on brain structures, pathways, neurotransmitters/receptors, and psychological factors when discussing the topic areas above. Additional emphasis should be placed on relating the underlying pathology of brain trauma and damage to the actual biologic mechanism of how various treatments support repair or restoration of function.
In keeping with the focus of this class, the emphasis should be placed on the role of neurotransmitter and receptor systems, neuroanatomical structures, and neurological functional pathways. You must use a minimum of one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last five years, documented in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Your post should be a minimum of 250 words. You may cite and reference your textbook, required reading and/or multimedia, but these will not fulfill the source requirement.
Writing Assignment (Part 3): Investigate a Social Issue Draft
Due Week 8 and worth 120 points
Working from the outline and from the feedback of your professor, you will now develop a draft paper in which you formally write up your findings. Specifically, you will submit a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you address all of the following:
Specific Hypothesis. Introduce your paper by identifying the specific hypothesis you are evaluating in this paper.
Applicable Sociological Concepts. Identify the sociological theories and terminology from the text that apply to your social issue
Practical Implications. Discuss the value of sociological research into your issue. Determine whether or not there are (or would be) practical implications of sociological inquiry into this issue.
Evidence. This is the most important part of the paper. Analyze at least two (2) lines of evidence that pertain to the hypothesis you are evaluating. Does the evidence support your hypothesis? For each type of evidence, consider possible biases and alternative interpretations.
Conclusions. Draw conclusions based on the evidence that you have discovered. Does the evidence confirm or refute your hypothesis? Is the evidence sufficiently convincing to draw firm conclusions about your hypothesis?
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
