Week 7 – Discussion Board (required engagement activity)

21 21 unread replies. 21 21 replies.

Data analytics is a hot topic these days, not just in business but with employers in all fields. Part of the reason that you are required to take statistics, regardless of your field, is that it aids in critical thinking and assists you in analyzing data. Not convinced you will ever need or use Microsoft Excel or data analytics? Not sure why the spreadsheet was even invented or why you’d want to use it beyond this class? First of all, it is important for jobs. The job you may have now, or for jobs you may want in your future.

Read the following articles which explain how many positions, regardless of field, now require Microsoft Excel skills and about the growing gap between the skills job-seekers possess and what is needed in today’s increasingly data-drive world:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/06/you-cant-… (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

http://burning-glass.com/research/digital-skills-g… (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Okay, so you may need to know Excel for jobs. What is the big deal about spreadsheets anyway? Listen to this short, but fun NPR podcast:

http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/25/38902… (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Still not convinced? Try a google search using keywords such as data analytics in _______ and fill in the blanks with your major (e.g., business, marketing, finance, accounting, nursing, sports management, hospitality management). Stick to good sources such as business or professional magazines, organizations, or quality newspaper articles. I’ve included a few in the initial post of the forum for particular majors, but please look further before you try to answer the questions below.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Please answer the questions below in ESSAY format. Do not just write one-sentence or partial sentence responses. Your responses should clearly show that you read the articles and listened to the podcast, so please write enough to demonstrate this and the fact that you thought about the material presented.

  1. Did you use Excel in this class? If so, how and for what specifically? If not, why? Be specific.
  2. After listening to the articles and podcast, do you understand the importance of analytics and how it is changing the jobs available? Write a paragraph outlining the what new things you learned and how they could be valuable in your present or future career.
  3. Find 2-3 quality articles about data analytics in your major or the field in which you plan to work. After reading them, please write another short paragraph explaining how analytics is used in your field and what new things you learned. Based on the articles you read, do you plan to pursue additional training in these areas? Why or why not? Provide citations to the articles you used.

Don’t forget that you must make your initial post by SATURDAY so that other students have time to read and respond to it. You must also make at least two substantive replies to other students by Sunday. Posts should show that you read and thought about what they have said and should add to the discussion. I hope that you enjoy this week’s discussion board. Give it some time and thought and have fun!

NOTE You must post your essay before you can read anyone else’s posts. You should refresh the page after you have posted it in order to see the other posts and replies. Posts and replies made after the due date will not be graded unless the instructor has granted you an extension in advance. Please review the grading rubric for discussion posted in Modules > Start Here to be sure you earn the maximum points.

need a final draft for my rough draft essay

/in /by

Hello i need a final draft for my rough draft essay. needs alot of stuff added with lots of improvements. will provide everything below.

original instructions. I chose the 3rd topic.

You have three choices—you will be responding to only ONE of these. My advice in making your pick is this: Don’t automatically go with the one you feel most strongly about; instead, choose the question for which you have the most supporting evidence. Think about which question for which you have the most examples.

My expectations:

  • A clear, arguable thesis that unifies the entire essay
  • Topic sentences that unify each paragraph
  • Brief quotes from two or more of our assigned addiction essays (use quotes, but do not worry about MLA format).

DO NOT simply summarize the assigned essays. I have read them already! I want mostly YOUR thoughts, ideas, and conclusions.

Choose ONE of the following prompts:

  1. Discuss the differences, if any, among addictions, compulsions, and habits. In your conclusion, discuss why it matters or doesn’t matter whether we make these distinctions.
  2. Briefly compare and contrast the authors’ arguments regarding treating addiction. Which author makes the most compelling argument, and why?
  3. Gabor Maté argues that addiction (ranging from heroin to the internet) stems from “discomfort, the inability to be in the present moment because the present moment is too painful” (Simon and Dockett 44). Is he right?

My answer.

As Gabor Mate argues that addiction stems from “discomfort, the inability to be in the present moment because the present moment is too painful”.I agree with Mate’s arguement 100%.Not just from facts or opinions but from my own personal experience.As i do know someone myself who abuses drugs themselves.It only makes sense that this is the main cause of addiction.To just get away from reality.

Even in “The Addict In All of us” states that the main cause of addiction is from emotional suffering.Just like gabor mates statement that the present moments is to painful.Something could have happened to someone while they were a child or any point in there life.which would make them traumatized and don’t want no memory of it.so they go do drugs to get high so they can escape and won’t have to face reality.Gabor Mate states child suffering is a main cause to addiction.”I’d say that an addiction manifests in any behavior that a person finds temporary pleasure or relief in and therefore craves, suffers negative consequences from, and has trouble giving up”.

I mean even with all the facts it just makes sense.someone suffered something traumatic and painful whether when they were a kid or any point in their life.so i bet they do think about it most of time and has cause them alot of anxiety.so they turn to drugs to take away the negative thoughts that they have.addiction is not a choice or inheritance it serves to a higher purpose. A comfort a distraction from pain, a soothing of stress said by mate.

As i said before i also agree from personal experience.i know someone close to me who abuses drugs.after reading this article it only makes sense why that someone is doing this drug.i know of something that happened to someone i know at a young age that most likely caused a lot of emotional suffering and stress. somewhere along the line as he grew up he changed started doing drugs. and im sure its cause of that emotional suffering as a child that happened to him.So he does drugs now to escape from that pain.this is a perfect and personal example from myself.

I loved reading gabor Mate because im sure that hes right and agree with him.the main cause of addiction is emotional suffering at any point in someone’s life.this is not a choice or inheritance they do this to escape reality,escape those negative thoughts and all that pain they have built up inside of them.

All based of the article “The addict in all of us” i will attach it with also other articles you can use.

​DIET: Describe and Interpret a Photograph

DIET: Describe and Interpret a Photograph

For the photographic image posted online for this assignment, write a four to six paragraph paper describing the image and interpreting it. Use information that you have learned from the lecture titled: Week 1 D.I.E.T. Describe and Interpret.

Approach this with fresh eyes, please do not research the image online until after you have written your paper, this exercise has nothing to do with the name of the photograph or who took it. If you know who took this photograph, remember that does not need to be in the paper.

Consider looking at the Glossary Lecture when using photographic terms. Always remember when describing a Photograph to use terms for the period of when the photo was taken. Assume most photographs we learn about in this class were taken using traditional processes, never use digital terms unless it is apparent it might be a digital photograph.

Do not evaluate or theorize in this paper.

I have to send a video to describe the video. It must be emailed because it is too big to upload. I will also upload a sample paper of a different image for you to get a better understanding. Please ask me any question if you feel uncertain about something.

1st upload – Picture the assignment is on.

2nd upload – Sample paper of a different picture
