Answer Three Questions on Art Works

/in /by

1. Although a lot is still unknown about the context of the The Standard of Ur, it does much to reveal aspects of the ancient Sumerian society in which Gilgamesh lived. In particular, it gives us insight into the social structure of this ancient culture. What are some things we learn about the society from this work of art? In what ways does the epic poem, Gilgamesh, support some of what The Standard of Ur tells us? 

2. What does the example of the ancient “geometric krater” vase we examine this week reveal about ancient Greek society’s ideas about life and death? In what ways does the Iliad support some of these views? 

3. This week we examine a famous black-figure amphora by Exekias that depicts Achilles and Ajax engaged in a game. This artwork, and the accompanying commentary by contemporary art historians, helps us understand something valuable about ancient Greek art. Also, we learn some new things about the story described in the Iliad. Thinking back to what we read of the Iliad, how might this new information change our understanding of Achilles and Ajax, and/or our understanding of Greek culture at that time?

Benchmark – Social Studies and the Arts Mini-Unit Plan

/in /by

For this assignment you will create a mini-unit plan using the COE
Lesson Plan Template, containing three consecutive lesson plans designed
for the students outlined in the “Class Profile.” Identify an
elementary grade level, social studies, and arts standards of your
choice to focus your unit plan on. You may adapt any previous
assignments in the creation of this mini-unit plan.

In your unit, design the three lesson plans to:

  • Address 1-2 social studies standards across the lesson plans.
  • Address at least one Arts standard in at least one lesson plan.
    • Use a variety of teaching strategies and technologies that encourage
      the students’ development of critical thinking and problem solving.
    • Use strategies that create opportunities for students’ active
      engagement in their learning and promote a supportive learning
      environment.
    • Incorporate the use of digital resources to promote effective
      verbal, nonverbal, and media communication techniques while creating
      opportunities for active inquiry, collaboration, and supportive
      interaction in the elementary classroom.

      • Integrate formative assessment techniques in the first two lesson
        plans of your mini-unit and a summative assessment in the last lesson.
        Within your summative assessment, be sure to measure all four DOK levels
        and assess each standard identified in all lessons.
      • Use differentiated strategies to meet the needs of all students in the “Class Profile.”

Along with the unit, submit a 250-500 word summary rationalizing your
instructional choices, arts integration, and summative assessment
choice.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected. Must be free of plagarism.

Gender difference in korean speech

/in /by

Models of language and gender have been proposed:

  1. the deficit model “women are seen as disadvantaged speakers because of their early sex role socialization”
  2. the dominance model “women are seen as being in a powerless position in their interactions with men”
  3. the cultural difference model “the two different secs through childhood and adolescence from different conversation goals and styles”

Explain what words or speech forms were associated with each sex? Discuss the gender difference in descriptive words. which particular aspect of the social setting can you find for each gender? What can you reduce from this about the way Koreans may think or feel about the gender roles in society. Gender-related processes influence behavior,thoughts, and feelings in individuals; they affect interactions, when gender is regarded not as an attribute of individuals but a system of meanings, the processes by which difference are created and power is allocated can be understood by considering how gender is played out at three levels: societal, interpersonal, and individuals.

LIN 185 Semantics

/in /by

Write a 150-200 word response on the following topic:

Consider these special usages of language: sarcasm, lies, metaphor, puns, and exaggeration. Discuss two of these in terms of speaker meaning and sentence meaning. What role (if any) does the distinction between speaker meaning and sentence meaning play in these cases? For one of the two you choose to discuss, give a specific example of a real or hypothetical situation that illustrates it.

The response should be carefully written and organized.

We suggest that you (i) wait till we’ve completed the Semantics unit before you submit the assignment and that you (ii) view the rubric. The link to the rubric is at the bottom of the page where you submit the file.

assignment about Business Intelligence

1.

(10 points)

Find an article (or related articles) referencing a situation where Business Intelligence/

Analytics/Data Mining has been applied. This could be through your reading on the Teradata

University Network (TUN), from the Information Management website, from another trade or news

publication, or any other source.

Summarize the scenario in 2-3 paragraphs, including a characterization of the analytics employed in

the scenario as descriptive, predictive, or prescriptive (and why).

Note that this would be an excellent opportunity to identify and study applications of BI/BA/Data

Mining in an area where you might be interested in pursuing a semester project. Identifying what

has been done in an area related to your interests is an excellent way to begin your project

research.

2.

(20 points)

Download the Student Survey data set from Canvas, and answer the following questions.

a. How many cases/observations are in the dataset? How many variables?

b. Classify each of the variables as either categorical or numeric. If necessary, justify your

answers.

c. Discuss data cleaning steps that would be necessary for this data, suggesting methods for

dealing with the anomalies you identify in the data.

d. Calculate the descriptive statistics for the numeric variables (ignoring missing data) using the

Excel Analysis ToolPak. Include the resulting table with your homework.

e. Which measures of central tendency and dispersion would you recommend to characterize the

different numeric variables?

f.

Which of the variables has the greatest skewness? Is it right or left skewed?

g. Looking at the analysis results (i.e., without graphing the data), which of the variables seems

most symmetric? Why?

h. Which variable has the greatest kurtosis? What does this mean?

3.

(20 points)

Using a visualization tool of your choice (e.g., Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, etc.), create four

basic graphics using the Titanic Passengers_new data set. You may choose bar charts, line graphs,

scatterplots, maps, etc. – use at least two types. Write up a paragraph explaining each

chart/graph. Indicate what question the visualization answers, and what additional insights you

gained from looking at the chart/graph vs. examining the data itself. These charts/graphs do not

have to be complex, but you should use good visualization principles.

multicultural 4-1

Part 1

David Matsumoto, the author of the textbook Culture & Psychology, has written an article, “Culture, Psychology, and Education.” In the article, he discusses his research on adjustment. A factor analysis on data from 2,500 individuals indicates that there are key factors or variables that play a role in adjustment. Of these variables, emotion regulation is the most important. Matsumoto (2002) states that emotion regulation “is always the most consistent and strongest predictor of all adjustment indices measured in our studies.” Matsumoto considers this to be a universal component of adjustment. He even goes so far as to assert that educators have a responsibility to not only focus on the subject matter when teaching but also teach values-based education with the end goal of increasing emotional regulation. This would equip students to manage in a multicultural and increasingly diverse society (Matsumoto, 2002).

In your response, address the following:

  • Define emotional regulation. Explain how you regulate your emotions when faced with extreme stress. Explain whether you believe that emotional regulation will better equip you to live with more diversity.
  • Some Eastern cultures start teaching their children about emotional regulation when they first enter school. Is it possible for students to learn emotional regulation in college or should this teaching start earlier? Research, analyze, and describe the concept of emotional regulation in Eastern cultures. How do Eastern cultures, such as the Chinese, teach their children emotional regulation?
  • Explore studies on longevity or aging and emotional regulation. What trends did you discover? Does emotional regulation increase with time? If so, explain why this might occur.

Part 2

Gender Differences and Society

Numerous societies have clear gender differences. There are some societies that place women in a subservient position. Furthermore, some women are devalued as their family honor is more important than their lives. This is often the case in honor killings. There was a publicized case of a woman from Iraq who escaped to a US military base because her family was going to kill her. She had disgraced them by talking to a young man on a cell phone. Using the Internet, the South University Online Library, and other sources, conduct research on honor killings.

In your response, address the following:

  • Why do some cultures engage in honor killings?
  • Do nongroup members have the right to interfere with other cultures when it comes to long-standing cultural practices? What happens to the culture when others interfere?
  • Most cultural groups developed their cultural practices in relative isolation, and as mentioned in the lectures, these practices often served a practical role. When cultural groups have maintained radical or “harmful” practices that have not evolved, how might the members of the group be impacted? State some examples of “harmful” practices. Do the antiquated practices impact the members of the group when there is little outside influence?

Week 7 Assignment 4: Email Revisions
Due Week 7 and worth 100 points

Revise the two (2) emails below to remove problematic content and help these students construct polite, effective email messages instead.

Scenario 1:

Susan is unhappy with her grade in her college class. She wants to clarify what she can do to improve in the course. She also feels like venting her frustrations to her professor due to the many hours she is spending studying and writing papers (which may or may not be a good idea). She decides to email her professor; however, before she hits SEND, she asks you, her friend, to take a look at the email.

Reading the email, you note a lack of civility, polarizing language, and other unethical language (given the context). Help Susan rewrite her email, so she can express her concerns over her poor grade politely and ask for help from the professor.

Susan’s Email:

(No greeting) I want to know why my grade was so bad. I spent hours finding sources and writing that paper and it was graded unfair. My friend wrote her paper the night before it was due and got a better grade. I know most professors grade hard but this is ridiculous. I felt good when I submitted the paper but now I feel like crap. I guess I am going to fail. (No closing)

Scenario 2:

Don is worried about passing his college class due to some low grades. He wants to ask his professor for help to pass the class. He decides to email his professor; however, before he hits SEND, he decides to ask you, his friend, to take a look at the email.

Reading the email, you note a lack of civility, poor manners, and poor grammar in Don’s email. Help Don rewrite the email, so he can express his concerns and appropriately seek help from the professor.

Don’s Email:

(No greeting) Yo teach. I dunno no way to pass this class. What I gotta do to pass? (No closing)

Instructions:

  1. Revise both emails.

tudents: Now that most of you have atleast a basic working knowledge of our economic system (it’s positives & negatives) as a result of your recent assignments, discussion questions, etc., it’s time to expand your knowledge and perceptions of other planned economies. Refer to your textbook (or other sourses) to obtain a thorough comprehension of the features of each economic system: Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Mixed Economy.

Discussion Question: After considering the characteristics of each alternative economic system coupled with your recently expanded knowledge of our capitalistic economy, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these systems and which one would best serve the needs of the American people in general. Be very explicit with your answers and opinions.

Special Note: Remember, you will be heavily graded on your discussion questions. I still expect well-thoughtout responses and 100% interaction among you and your classmates. I expect a minimum of 8 posts per student.

Probation and Punishment

/in /by

In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Robert Donovan, a Jurisville probation officer, discusses the intricacies of probation. Kris, the defendant, is offered an intensive supervised probation plan to follow. Brennan Brooke, a senior criminologist, discusses the tailoring of the inmate to the appropriate facility. Finally, Orlando Boyce, a sergeant at the fictional Deephall correctional facility, discusses measures that could conceivably make prison life effective and thus decrease the likelihood of recidivism.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Outline your findings from your review of the file of Kris, for whom Robert is considering probation. State whether or not your results from the file review match Robert’s. Explain two (2) instances in which your views and those of Robert are both similar and different.
  2. Develop a profile of the so-called perfect candidate to participate in an intensive supervised probation program. The profile should contain at least three (3) attributes that you believe make this defendant the perfect candidate for this type of probation.
  3. Defend or critique the strategy of matching the inmate to the correctional facility as a response to the legal concept of cruel and unusual punishment. Provide a rationale for your position with concrete examples.
  4. Defend or critique whether programs and amenities geared to making prison life effective—which run the gamut from hiring extra officers, to counseling and therapy, to building a garden—are time and taxpayer money well spent.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

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.
