English 2010 final essay

/in /by

My topic is going to be about the internet and the requirements are going to be below:

In this assignment, you need to compose a researched argumentative essay of 8-9 pages, using eight to nine sources to support your argument. These sources may be magazines, newspapers, academic articles, websites, books, podcasts, personal interviews, etc.–just make sure you sources are reputable and authoritative. You will use these sources to back up your main argument, or thesis. One of your sources should be a “naysayer” and disagree with your argument. Use this both as a way to address the other side of the issue and as a way to make your argument stronger.

Choose an issue or topic about which you can make a supported argument.

  • You may want to consider current event issues, your future field of study, or revisit some of the issues we’ve discussed in class, but please avoid the typical “hot button” topics.
  • Narrow your topic enough that you can cover it thoroughly in your essay, but still find enough research to support your claims.
  • Create a clear, solid, argumentative thesis statement that you can support with explanations, examples, and quotes from outside sources.

Formatting:

  • Your paper must be 8-9 pages. Essays not meeting the minimum page requirement will not receive full credit.
  • You must have at least eight sources, including one “naysayer” or opposing viewpoint.
  • Sources must be cited parenthetically in the text and referenced in a “Works Cited” page at the end of the essay (MLA format).

How does Mazda market the MyMazda app to increase customer retention at a dealership level as well as at a brand level?

/in /by

Background Information

As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, consumer needs and wants have changed drastically. Technology is rapidly adapted and innovation is rewarded. Mazda Motor Company, a small yet innovative Japanese automaker, is in pursuit of an organizational transformation to match and exceed the needs of today’s consumers.

Mazda’s goals are two-fold; first, to increase brand image and brand value using brand value management. With the introduction of the sixth-generation vehicles, Mazda has proven they are no longer a bargain car company focused on using low prices to motivate sales. Mazda’s current brand recognition amongst its target demographic customer (information provided in Exhibit A) is minimal, providing an excellent growth opportunity. The second goal of this organizational transformation is to ensure that Mazda dealers benefit from this heightened customer experience through increased profitability.

With the move into the premium market, Mazda has decided to revamp their MyMazda app to be appropriate to a premium image. Previous versions of the app were labeled as clunky, slow and difficult to navigate. In August 2018, the MyMazda app was relaunched with a sleek new interface that provides easier access to key functions of the app.

The Challenge

Mazda Customers were not happy with the prior MyMazda app, so the developers at Mazda reworked the app to fit customer wants and the premium image Mazda is trying to establish. From the perspective of a millennial, we here at Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) are asking you to develop a set of recommendations that will increase the number of new downloads of the MyMazda app as well as retain current and future app users. Your recommendations should include a plan for dealerships to successfully market the MyMazda app to customers and increase app retention, interaction, and utilization.

Multiple Intelligences

/in /by

Multiple Intelligences

IQ testing was introduced to the United States in 1916 when Lewis Terman published his revision of the Stanford-Binet intelligence scale. This widely accepted assessment of information processing, problem-solving, and working memory was used for many years until competitors such as the Wechsler Scales were developed. Later, Howard Gardner suggested that instead of a single construct of intelligence, people actually possessed multiple constructs of intelligence.

According to Gardner, there are eight ways of determining a person’s dominant intelligence and a person can show great abilities in eight ways: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic.

Click on the assessment link in the Resources to determine your dominant intelligence. Do you agree with the results? If so, how can you use your intelligence most effectively in your life? Share your results with your classmates.

Please include the following in your response:

  • Refer to and integrate ideas regarding human intelligence, Gardner’s Intelligence Testing presented in your text, and any supplemental readings.
  • Cite outside resources if necessary to make your point.

Response Guidelines

Please respond to at least two other learners in a manner that advances the discussion in a meaningful way. Your response is expected to be substantive and reference the assigned readings as well as other theoretical, empirical, or professional literature to support your views and writings. Reference your sources using APA style and format.

Psychology Essay

/in /by

By the end of week 8, we will be over halfway through the semester, and we will have covered the following modules:

  • Introduction/Research Methods
  • Personality
  • Biopsychology
  • Consciousness
  • Lifespan Development
  • Sensation & Perception
  • Learning
  • Memory

For this first essay assignment, discuss a minimum of three (3) different theories or pieces of research and apply them to your own life (or the life of someone you know). For example, you might discuss something you learned as a child through operant conditioning (Learning module) and how it was related to the stage of Piaget’s cognitive development you were in at that time (Lifespan Development module) as well as the underlying physiological mechanisms involved (Biopsychology module). Be creative! 🙂

You may choose any three topics of interest from the class so far, but you must connect them together. Importantly, this is a relatively short essay, so no direct quotes are allowed. You must demonstrate your own understanding of these topics… Imagine you were explaining these ideas to a friend who has never taken a psychology course. If that were the case, you wouldn’t need a direct quote, you would paraphrase in your own words to show your comprehension.

Responses should be between 500 and 1000 words. The minimum word count is to ensure you provide enough detail to demonstrate a general understanding. The maximum word count is to ensure that you keep your discussion on point. Formatting with APA or MLA style is not required, but grading will consider spelling, grammar, and basic organization, so proofread your assignment carefully.

Avoid plagiarism! Canvas will automatically scan your paper and compare it to millions of Internet sources. If plagiarism is detected, Canvas also indicates what source the information came from. Plagiarism will result in an automatic 0 and further action will be taken with the Office of Academic Affairs.
