Aristotle’s account of virtue and happiness

/in /by

I need a short response to this

“This week, we are reading Aristotle’s account of virtue and happiness. In your own words, explain what he means when he says: “Virtue, then, is a state of character concerned with choice, lying in a mean, i.e. the mean relative to us, this being determined by a rational principle, and by that principle by which the man of practical wisdom would determine it.” You may choose to give an example of a situation in which one must use their practical wisdom to determine the virtuous way to act.”

I just need a short paragraph and please don’t use any big/ crazy vocabulary. thanks

Week 5 – Final Project

Final Project – Recommendation Report

The purpose of the Final Project is to provide an opportunity to integrate your understanding of how to use technical writing skills to write a Recommendation Report based on a chain of relevant preliminary documents that you have produced in Weeks One through Four. The Recommendation Report should demonstrate your ability to apply course concepts in recommending an initiative or solution to a problem that you may experience in your current or future career. Use the topic from your Week One Proposal that was approved by your instructor. For reference again, the following are possible topics for your Final Project:

  • New Energy Resource Recommendation Report

Continue to research the topic you chose in Week One and expand the body of your Recommendation Report from the Week Three rough draft. The report should show ongoing consideration of the primary and secondary audiences that you analyzed in Week One.

Your Recommendation Report must be eight to ten pages in length, exclusive of title page, references page, glossary, and any other appendices. All of the sections below should incorporate any revision suggestions that your instructor offered on the Week Three Assignment.

The Final Project must include:

  • A title page (page 479).
  • A letter of transmittal (pages 479, 488-489).
  • An abstract (pages 479-480, 491). This will provide an overview of a problem and solution relating to the larger Recommendation Report.
  • A table of contents and corresponding page numbers (pages 480-481, 492). This table should closely correlate with subheadings, and figures in the body of the Recommendation Report.
  • A table of graphics/illustrations (pages 481, 483). This table should closely correlate with subheadings, and figures in the body of the Recommendation Report.
  • A one-page executive summary (pages 483-484, 493).
  • Body, including an introduction (problem, solution, background, data sources, scope and limitation) that ends with a clear thesis statement or initiative to solve the identified problem, methods, results, conclusions, and recommendations (pages 476-478, 489, 491, 493, 495, 509).
  • A concluding paragraph that restates the paper’s main ideas.
  • Effective, useful, and properly cited graphic aids (minimum of three). For citation guidance, see pages 294-335.
  • Glossary that provides a comprehensive overview of specialized terminology appearing in the Recommendation Report (pages 476, 484, 486-487).
  • Include at least four sources (from Week One Assignment) in addition to the course textbook that are amply and appropriately cited in the text of the document and listed on the Reference page. Two sources must be scholarly journal articles from the Ashford University Library.

3-2 Case Study: Does Sony Need to Trim Down? Assignment

/in /by

PLEASE READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS! EVEN THE CASE STUDY GUIDELINES.

I wanted to reach out and give you some helpful information. All case studies have the EXACT same rubric. This is one of the older courses and is in the process of being redesigned. That means–the Milestones do not lead up to the final paper- they are just helpful areas of research.

The rubric is used to grade (this is an SNHU requirement) and my team lead checks each week that I use the rubric in all grading.

Follow the rubric – make a template in week 1 and use it each week-

Overview and Strategic Background (this is section 1 of the rubric) -introduce the case and give some background.

Strategic Tripod analysis – Include this each week (we review it in week 1 and the case study questions in week 1 actually have you answer from the resource view, industry view and institutional view) other weeks it does not align but is still required and worth 25% of the grade.

list each area of the rubric – with headers so they can be clearly seen they are being addressed and met. The questions from the case itself is only 25% of the grade (I believe I am not currently looking at the rubric).

Use multiple sources – both primary and secondary research is required (it is the capstone course).

APA format- Yes cover page, in text citations, reference page, 12 point font, double spaced.

If you follow this formula you will do well. If you choose to only answer the case study questions in order like a short answer assignment you will get a 25%.

I hope this is helpful as I have taught this class a lot and this is the biggest struggle the students face (and week 8 but I will send more on that later).
