For this assignment, you will be writing a 2-3 page analytical essay about a poem of your choice from the textbook. Choose one which we have not discussed in class and which is substantial enough and lends itself to the directions below.

/in /by

In your essay, you will discuss the central theme (main idea) of the poem. This should be expressed in the thesis statement in your introduction. In the body of the essay, you will go through the poem line by line, focusing on imagery, word choice, and other techniques the poet uses to convey the central theme of his or her poem.

For example, in the sonnet “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, and Where, and Why” by Edna St. Vincent Millay, the speaker evokes the loss of youth and young love. In the first four lines she establishes the fact that it is a rainy night and the air is full of “ghosts.” She goes on to identify that these ghosts are the memories of young boys she once loved. In the latter part of the poem, the speaker uses seasons as metaphors for the phases of life, including the image of a lonely tree in the winter. It becomes clear that the speaker is in the winter of her life and aches with loss for the metaphorical summer that has fled.

In your essay, after identifying the main idea of the poem, you would go through the poem line by line and analyze what techniques the poet uses to express this theme.

Be sure to include at least four quotes from the poem, using correct MLA citation.

Communication Theory

/in /by

Performance art performances You will perform five performance art performances during the semester. Each of these performances will happen in class. Each of these performances will have two required components: (1) your performance and (2) a write-up of your performance which needs to be submitted in class in hard form before you perform. Each performance art performance also needs to have a title and make a thoughtful point about communication and the class material at hand. For each of the performance art performances, perform for the class a rehearsed, original, in-person performance that is 30-60 seconds in length. For expediency, these performances should not have external audio, video, or projector needs. This performance is to be an original creation by you. Don’t recite something someone else said or wrote. This piece should also involve you in a performative manner. Don’t give a standard speech or presentation. For each of these assignments, a lack of performance will not be considered a performance. It is vital that we maintain our good sense for these performances. Do not violate campus regulations and policies or any laws. Do not harm property. Do not disrupt others outside of our class or classmates as they perform. Do not be hostile or menacing toward anyone. Do not put anyone in harm’s way. Be a good audience member. For each of the five write-ups, submit in class in hard form before you perform a write-up detailing your performance. Specifically, each write-up should provide: (1) the title of your performance and why you chose that title, (2) a description of what you’re doing and how you prepared to do it, (3) an explanation for why what you’re doing in class should be considered performance art, and (4) an explanation of the thoughtful point that your performance is making about communication and/or theory. Each write-up’s length is 500 words. An accurate word count must be placed at the top of the first page of your paper. Failure to have an accurate word count at the very top of the first page of your paper will result in a failing grade. Your paper needs to be typed and single-spaced. Your paper should use Times New Roman 12 pin font and standard margins. In MS Word, use either the Normal or the No Spacing style (upper right on Home tab) and then change your font to Times New Roman 12 pin/size (upper left on Home tab). Please do not space between paragraphs. Indent paragraphs. All you need at the top of your paper is your name and, as stated above, an accurate word count (found in the lower left in MS Word), and then you should begin your first paragraph. Each write-up should be written in academic prose and, likewise, be polished and precise as well as adequately developed and supported. Paragraphs should begin with a bold claim or thesis statement (i.e., a declarative sentence that encapsulates what the paragraph is about) that is then supported by the rest of the paragraph. When a new bold claim is made, a new paragraph should begin. Use the APA format to cite in-the-text-of-your-paper all outside source material, including the textbook and the supplemental readings. Include a proper works cited page. The works cited page should NOT be counted in the word count for your paper. Spell and grammar check (F7 in MS Word). If you are unable to make it to class on the day of a performance art performance, you can have someone else drop off your write-up about your performance art by noon that same day in the Communication Department (Morgan 206) for partial credit. Your write-up will receive up to 15 of the 20 points for your first drop off and up to 10 of the 20 points for your second drop off. No points will be given to a third and subsequent drop off. I do not accept course assignments via email. Late work is never accepted. Make-up work is never offered. Like the performance art performance, the write-up is to be an original work by you. Do not recycle work or writing from another class. Avoid plagiarism as well. Such behavior constitutes academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty will be treated very seriously. See the section Academic dishonesty for further clarification as well as for guidance in avoiding plagiaris

electronics before bed.

Details:

For this assignment, again, is beneficial that you keep the topic you would like to research for the capstone proposal in mind. The capstone will require a literature review for your proposal, of which you may use articles obtained during this course.

Select a peer-reviewed, nonexperimental research study that exemplifies a correlational and quasi-experimental design (use keywords method, results, and discussion in your Boolean search). These studies can be found using tools such as the GCU Library and Google Scholar.

Write a 500-750-word paper that addresses the following:

  1. Compare the research design of the two studies chosen.
  2. Were the research designs appropriate to their hypothesis (the goal of the research or research question)? Why or why not?

update the handbook

/in /by

Your manager has given you a new assignment. It is time to update the employee handbook. You will be creating information to add to the handbook. You are to outline the following:

Table 1:

Provide information and support for a proposed Computer and Internet Use policy. Discuss the important factors to be considered when creating a Computer and Internet Use policy and why they are important. Remember, you are trying to convince your manager to use your language in the handbook update, so support your position.

Table 2:

Draft language for a proposed organizational standard for ethical decision making. This should describe a step-by-step process for making critical decisions about potential ethical issues faced by counselors. This process should include, where appropriate, reference to the ethical code at the state level or a model code from a nationally recognized organization.

Employment Law/ Questions

/in /by

Question 1
On what basis does the government allow some people to be paid
sub-minimum wages and others not? Why not allow anyone who has
difficulty getting work or is unemployable to work at sub-minimum wages?
What about people who are only slightly more mentally able than the
mentally challenged? How about felons on parole?   To prepare your
answer, research the government website at http://www.dol.gov. Under
Topics, click “wages” and on the next screen under Subtopics, click
“sub-minimum wages.” Please discuss at least two categories of people
who are eligible to work at sub-minimum wages and justify or criticize
the rule allowing this. Compare and contrast with other categories of
people who are out of work.   

Question 2

Read the following case and answer the questions in proper essay form.

Case: Fireworks on the Fourth
Mufid and Janet are both machine operators at Fireation Engineering,
Inc. Their supervisor Reginald has assigned them to work on a 4th of
July holiday decoration project for the company. Mufid has protested
that though he is a patriotic American, he doesn’t feel comfortable as a
Muslim celebrating a secular holiday. Reginald explains that all
members of his department are required to assist in holiday
preparations, and he can’t make an exception for Mufid. He orders Mufid
to help Janet in the project. Without Reginald’s approval or Mufid’s
knowledge, Janet has used company credit to purchase an electric toy
that is supposed to safely simulate a fireworks display. The
instructions on the package say that the toy will light up sparklers
inside a glass enclosure. While Mufid is helping Janet set up and do a
test of the display, it catches on fire and burns his right hand and arm
badly. As a result, Mufid becomes disabled and will not be able to do
his machine operator duties for at least 18 months, maybe longer. Janet
and Mufid are both so upset about the incident that they have written to
Reginald about ordering Mufid to do the 4th of July decoration against
his religious conviction. Reginald responds by having them both fired
for incompetence, insubordination, and misuse of company funds. (He
produces company files documenting their incompetence on the machines.
Janet and Mufid know that the reports have been fabricated, or at the
least, distorted.) Fireation Engineering, Inc.’s employment contract
states that employees can only be fired for good cause. But in addition,
it states that there is zero tolerance for dangerous conduct,
endangering other workers. And it states that the employer will object
to any employee benefits or welfare programs if the employee is at
fault.

Question: Analyze the case in the light of
the following: What employee welfare benefits are Mufid and Janet
likely to be entitled to and why? State and answer objections likely to
be made by the employer. What if they apply to get their jobs back? Why
might they be denied? What arguments might they use to establish
entitlement to reinstatement?

Questions Week 4

/in /by

1250 words in total for the 4 questions and in apa format, 3 scholarly journal articles references

Case Summary and the Narrative Format: The case summary is supposed to be on the Real time case assigned for the unit. In Unit 4, it is Real-Time Case 24: Papa John’s..In other words, “these firms” refers only to Papa John’s. Remember to use the narrative format in your summary. Remember as well that you need to find additional “real time” information from the internet and integrate the information into your summary.

Case Analysis #1: Analyze Papa John’s competitive strategy using the Porter, and the Miles and Snow typologies discussed in the textbook. Please make sure that you develop a very clear focus. You can enhance clarity by discussing each typology in a different paragraph. Please do not confuse Porter’s typology with Porter’s Five Forces; this question is on the typology (low-cost, differentiation, focus). Note as well that you are required to discuss BOTH Porter and Miles & Snow typologies.

Case Analysis #2: This question requires that you analyze the relationship between competitive strategies and functional strategies in the case of Papa John’s. Do not forget to give examples to support your claims.

Application: In your application essay, you will do very well to tie together Porter’s Five Forces, SWOT analysis, and competitive strategies. Be very clear about which of the threats in the Five Forces you will be facing, and the appropriate competitive strategies you would choose to meet this threat, given your internal strengths and weaknesses.

Questions

1.In a narrative format, discuss these firms from a strategic perspective. Information concerning recent changes in the firms is readily available online and should be accessed. Strategic issues should be discussed in “real time.”

2. How would you describe Papa John’s competitive strategy along the lines of the Porter and the Miles and Snow typologies? Support your response.

3. Do Papa John’s marketing and production (service) strategies support its competitive strategy effectively? Provide examples to support your answer.

4. Suppose you are the CEO of Papa Johns, and McDonald’s just announced that it would begin to serve pizza in and deliver from all of its restaurants in the United States. Would you make any changes to your competitive strategy? What additional information would you like to have before you make your decision? Explain.
