Lack of a clear Organization Structure, writing homework help

/in /by

You have been assigned two partners. To get credit for this forum, you must:

  1. Download the papers of your group members. Read them.
  2. Then, start a thread with your classmate’s name (or add to it if it has already been created). Under that, you should respond to the directions listed on this Peer Review Sheet. Pages 1 and 2 contain the directions; Pages 3 and 4 contain the worksheet you should complete.

    This should be a minimum of 500 words total (meaning: 500 for the entire document–write your word count at the end).

  3. Then repeat steps 1 and 2 for your second partner.
  4. You should also, if the other reviewer from your group has posted, respond to that person’s thoughts on the paper you read. If they have not, come back and check later to respond then.
  5. Lastly, go to the thread with your name and read your reviewers’ feedback. Ask questions, get clarification, or, if you’re concerned about a particular area of your paper that they did not address, ask them for their thoughts on that. This piece is not required, but highly recommended.

Procurement Process

/in /by

The answer only needs to be about 200+ words. This is going to be the notes section of a slide inside a power point. This particular slide’s topic is Description of the contract resource procurement process (from start to closure).

Scenario:

Will Fence owns a 70-acre large timber and Christmas tree farm. The Christmas farm gets busy in August and September when Will identifies and flags the trees suitable for Christmas season. Starting in October, the flagged trees will be cut, baled, and trucked to the storage yard where they will stay until shipped. The storage yard is situated in an area that offers shade and protection from the wind to maintain the freshness of the tree. The trees are stacked with the tops locked together to keep the sun and wind away from them.

Will has just purchased an additional 40 acres and will need to expand his storage yard by 40,000 square feet. The budget for this expansion is $55,000. Will has hired your team to design a process to contract resources to expand the storage yard.

Cover the following as requested by Will:

Manned and Unmanned mission to other space

/in /by

Paper 3

Looking ahead for the next 20 years, should the USA resume manned space missions or push more towards unmanned space exploration? If we go towards manned missions, should we go back to the Moon, go to Mars, or head to some other destination? Consider cost versus scientific results, the probability of death or harm to astronauts, national pride, secondary tech spinoffs , and a multitude of other perspectives. Write for the class and make a clear case for what should be done.

Under no circumstances use blue hyperlinks or cut-and-pasted website addresses on Works Cited page. This stands in as our “MLA Exam”

and all references must exactly match current MLA format, both for in text citation style and the final Works Cited page.

Give full location information when you locate a source, writing it all out longhand. You cannot use“easy bib” or something: gotta do it yourself.

Only exception will be the citations provided by EBSCO directly, but on those, check spacing and indents as you cut and paste into your final draft.

4-6 pages (or more) focus on analysis, not summary (prove things that can be disputed) do be specific:what will we do, funded by what budget, in approximately which year?

do allow for dissent: consider and then refute the opposite position from yours

do use current MLA format,making it correct and perfect and exactly utterly right

do use critics and outside sources to back you up; Paper 3 stands in as our MLA exam, so besides proving your point, it is essential that you demonstrate mastery of academic research and MLA format citation style or else you will not receive a passing grade.and…

write for the class—a well-informed, curious, intelligent audience, which includes Prof. push paragraphs so they’re 10, even 15 sentences long

—see handouts on paragraphs

don’t use the“5 Paragraph Model” (see“ Myths About Writing”PowerPoint)

be hesitant to use the “I” voice very often (see the handout on how to use “I” well)

do remember to give your essay a good title (see handout on titles)

do alphabetize your Works Cited page by author’s last name

do use hanging indents (line 2 of a citation goes“ in” from regular margin)

•do not number the individual entries your Works Cited page

do not use blue hyperlinks on your Works Cited page or give web addresses (www. etc.)

Read the article Thinking Strategically About Pricing Decisions. In the article, the authors present four innovative pricing models. Choose one of the models and critique it in your initial post. Be sure to clearly identify which model you have selected and address the following in your critique:

What are the pros and cons of the model?

How does the model differ from traditional pricing approaches discussed in the textbook?

Think of a company that may be able to adopt the pricing model you have selected, and discuss how it could implement the model in its pricing strategy.

When responding to two of your peers, identify strengths and/or weaknesses in their analysis of the pricing model they have selected. Do you agree with the pros and cons they have presented? Is the company chosen for adoption of the pricing model appropriate? Identify and discuss another company that may be able to adopt the pricing model presented by your peers.

Group therapy in classroom environment

/in /by

In some ways, being in class is like being in a therapy group. Students come together at a specific time and place with the express goal of exchanging thoughts and ideas to learn and increase understanding. During this process, students celebrate successes and deal with obstacles that impede their progress. Student achievement is monitored, and progress is measured. In the end, students hope to leave with more than when they arrived.

Awareness of the group therapy process has the potential to improve the classroom experience. Imagine focusing a class’s collaborative work with one or more of Yalom’s therapeutic factors. Alternatively, group therapy techniques might help resolve interpersonal conflicts that arise during a course.

For this Discussion, consider how the therapeutic factors of group therapy might be applied to the classroom. Also, reflect on your experience and share your insights about group therapy. Limit your reflection to your own thoughts and actions. Do not analyze or discuss behaviors or issues of other students in the class.

With these thoughts in mind and using these headings

Provide a brief description of at least one therapeutic factor that may be applied to the dynamics of the classroom as a member of this “group.”

Explain any additional insights you had or conclusions you drew about group therapy as a result of taking this course. Provide examples to support your response.

Please refer to the attached Introduction file
