Using the concepts in Chapter 13, compare the Total Costs of Ownership for “buying” a BS in Business from the Lubar School of Business at UWM (a mainly live school) and a BS in Business from Phoenix University (a mainly online university). Specifically, answer the following questions:

1) Which three topics from Chapter 13 are most applicable to this TOC analysis? Explain.

2) Provide a cost/revenue analysis over the product life for each of the programs. Use tuition data from the websites of both universities for the cost analysis. Use the best available information or your estimates on lifetime earnings based upon receiving degrees at both universities.

The way in which data is inputted, stored, accessed, and disseminated is essential to quality patient health outcomes, organizations’ profit margins, standardization, and strategic planning. Health care leaders are challenged in obtaining the most efficient and most secure information system(s). In a minimum of 300 words, address the following points in your post:

• Discuss some of the leading health information systems.
• Discuss the features of health information systems infrastructure.
• Discuss some of the objectives of information technology planning. Consider the ideas of cost versus quantity.
• Discuss some ways in which health care leaders strategically think of IT investments as assets.
• Define IT alignment and its limitations.

An employment application should not include any questions that will produce a response that would indicate an applicant’s protected class such as age, race, national origin, disability, etc. Although many state and federal equal opportunity laws do not directly prohibit employers from asking such questions on an application, such inquiries may be used as evidence of an employer’s intent to discriminate, unless the questions asked can be justified by some business purpose of the employer.

Read the opening Decision Point on Inquiring Employer’s Want to Know? read the decision point and write a paper answering the 4 (four) questions?

The paper should be no more than 2 (two) pages in length and all references should be in APA format. When uploading the file, please use the following format for the file name:

• Grading
The term paper itself counts for 40% of your course grade. You will be graded on your mastery of the
relevant facts and arguments, your originality in developing analysis, and the effective way your paper is
organized and written. Specifically, originality = 2 points, analysis = 12 points (i.e., 6 points each film),
writing = 16 points (i.e., legitimate title = 1 point, 4 listed key words = 2 points, structure = 2 points,
transition = 2 points, grammar = 2 points, spelling = 2 points, in-text reference = 2, etc.), use of sources =
10 points (i.e., logical incorporation = 1.5 points each, complete citation = 1 point each).

• Content
First, your paper must be comparative; namely, choose to compare two of these films: Plunder of Peach
and Plum, It’s My Day Off, Ermo, and Suzhou River. You may focus on a similar theme, a shared critical
problem, or a combination of some of them.
Second, your paper must be researched; namely, citing what critics have said about the directors and/or
films you are discussing and indicating how you respond to their interpretations. You must use at least 4
print sources assigned in the syllabus. Each article in an edited book counts as one source, but merely
listing sources without incorporating them in analysis does not make your paper a researched one.
Third, your paper must be critical; namely, examining texts in detail and engaging different arguments in
relation to the issues you are addressing. This also means that you have to maintain your own line of
arguments while moving between primary and secondary sources. A summary of narrative plot or
biographic information is descriptive rather than critical.

• Form
This is an individual assignment. Do not work on it jointly as you might study together for exams or
team projects, because two papers similar to each other will likely lower grades for both papers. Do not
submit a paper that you have submitted or are writing for any other class.
The paper must be written in your words, not paraphrased out of a secondary source or plagiarize from
any source You must give full bibliographical citations at the end of your paper on a separate page
(exclusive of the page limit), and make sure your style is consistent throughout the paper.
Papers must be typed, double-spaced (not 1.5 spaced), with one-inch or larger margins on all four sides
of the page. The length is limited to 3 pages, excluding references. Most students do better writing a
carefully edited three-page paper than writing a longer paper that is sloppy. Papers not meeting these
specifications will be returned without grading. Faulty spelling, grammar, punctuation, and format style
will cost you points, so proof-read your writing carefully.

MLA format + 3Pages excluding reference

Like phenomenology, ethnomethodology is all about meaning and, in particular, how it is communicated and shared between people. Reading Garfinkel’s “Studies in Ethnomethodology” is a bit like reading a sitcom script in parts, if only because his brilliant breaching experiments expose the taken-for-granted absurdity of our everyday existence. Ponder the questions below as you work through the reading of Harold Garfinkel’s work, “Studies in Ethnomethodology” in Section One of your text, Social Theory Re-Wired. Look at the recommended resources for this week for additional materials to help you complete this discussion.

Answer the following:

• What does Garfinkel mean when he writes that moral facts are the “natural facts of life”?
• What are “background expectancies” and how do they typically come about in everyday conversation?
• Garfinkel gives us a series of experiments in which the background expectancies of conversation are made apparent, either by a student analyzing a conversation after the fact, as in the case of the husband and wife talking about Dana, or cases where experimenters deliberately disrupted the taken-for-granted assumptions. Think of an example where such background expectancies were important for your own conversation with someone to become meaningful. Explain and quote the conversation that occurred as they did in the reading.
• Explain what methods you used to make the conversation “happen,” or in other words, how you ensured that the “background expectancies” of your conversation were understood by the other person?
• Explain how understanding other’s background expectancies are useful in society.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
