Excellence: Saint Leo University is an educational enterprise. All of us, individually and collectively, work hard to ensure that our students develop the character, learn the skills, and assimilate the knowledge essential to become morally responsible leaders. The success of our University depends upon a conscientious commitment to our mission, vision, and goals.

Doesnt have to be a long response.

Select one question and respond

1. Consider the core value of excellence as described here at Saint Leo. If you were a prospective employer, how would you consider excellence in one’s school work to transfer to excellence in one’s job or profession?

2. Consider the core value of excellence as described here at Saint Leo. Put yourself in the position of being a manager at a Fortune 500 company. You have in hand 20 resumes that reflect that the candidates have the requisite technical skills to do the job. However, you are interested in looking for something that will make one candidate stand out. Given the core value of excellence in particular, how might that value in a person’s life contribute to their job performance, given that they have the basic skills required for the job?

3. Why would an employer be concerned with excellence in a prospective job applicant or a client be concerned when interviewing a prospective professional?

Hide Assignment Information
Turnitin® enabledThis assignment will be submitted to Turnitin®.

The Critical Incident Issue Paper will be a five-to-seven double-spaced pages prepared using the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition style guide. A separate title page and reference page must be included which do not count toward the page count.

The paper must reference a minimum of three scholarly articles. Wikipedia is not a scholarly source and cannot be used as a reference. Creditable references can often be found within Wikipedia and can be cited if they are considered scholarly. Consult the following link for definitions and examples of scholarly sources http://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/articles.cfm. Other sources should be evaluated for their credibility (just because it is on the web does not mean it is an accurate trusted source).

The issue must also be linked to experience in at least one critical incident as part of the discussion. The paper should also reference any relevant government policy. Previous incidents are outlined in the scholarly articles provided. The scholarly articles are a resource. If your papers are written solely from the sources provided, the paper will be severely lacking.

GOVT 2305 Current Event Reaction Paper

/in /by

Description

During this course I hope that you will become more aware of the current political events going on in the United States, and around the world, and establish a better base of knowledge for understanding the politics of the nation and how these compare internationally. This assignment requires you to write two (2) brief (two-page double-spaced of text) reaction papers.

You can choose to write your paper on a current event dealing with American politics and government. You are free to choose any current event that interests you personally, just with the requirement that it must be clearly related to government. You should find these current event articles through any reputable news source that you choose. If you have a concern or question on whether a particular article satisfies this requirement as a valid source, please feel free to ask. A few reputable new sources that you can consider (but certainly not the only ones) are:

  • The Economist (economist.com)
  • BBC (http://www.bbc.com/news/world/)
  • NPR (http://www.npr.org/sections/news/)
  • Newspapers: New York Times (nytimes.com), USA Today (usatoday.com), The Wall Street Journal (wsj.com), The Washington Post (washingtonpost.com), The Houston Chronicle (chron.com), etc.
  • National News organizations (CNN, NBC, CBS, Fox)

The paper will require more than simply re-describing the article, I want you to critically think about the information in the article and discuss the importance or significance it has for American government and politics or how this international issue impacts America. You are certainly allowed to provide active voice, and include your own personal perspective on the current event, but I will require you to incorporate information that we have covered in this class into your reaction paper, where applicable. This is not intended to be a political rant about a current event.

Grading Rubric

You will need to do three major things in these papers. The first part of the paper will be a brief summary of the current event in your own words. Overreliance on direct quotes from the article, or keeping the bulk of the original article with only minor revisions by yourself will result in deduction. The second part of the paper will be your reaction, this can be a critique of the piece or event, or the significance of the event, simply your perspective on such. This is intended to be your thoughts, thus please use first person. The third component of your papers will be relating the current event to course material in some manner (i.e. where does this article fit into the course material – textbook chapter, discussion, film, etc.). Each of these are required in both papers. Please refer to the separate rubric document on D2L for more details.

Formatting

The format for the paper can be any writing style that you are familiar with (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.), however there are a few things that I will require. Papers will be written double-spaced in 12-pt Times New Roman font with 1” margins on all sides. Please note that these may not be the default settings on your word processor, but you will still be expected to change the formatting to these conditions. I will warn you, do not try to adjust these to make your paper longer, as it is quite obvious when the margins and font sizes are not correct. Also, papers do not need to have a massive header that takes up half a page, this does not count toward the length of the paper, so don’t try. Your name at the top will do just fine. My advice to mitigate this issue, is to write your paper without any kind of header or works cited information first to guarantee it meets the length requirement, then afterwards add the header and works cited.

Also, you will need to attach or provide a working link to the original article with your paper. You can put the link in your paper as a works cited, or post the link into the comments box on the submission page. If you do not include a working URL link, a 10pt penalty will be assessed.

Posts should integrate key terms and concepts from the assigned chapters and should put these terms and concepts in bold font text. All answers should be numbered and answers should demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the assigned reading material.

Please view the short news segment “Elon Musk 60 Minutes Interview”. Also view the short news segment on self driving cars titled “Hands off the wheel” (watch the first 15 minutes or copy and paste here – https://www.cbsnews.com/video/hands-off-the-wheel-the-spy-among-us/ (you will need a CBS all access pass (required for this course) to watch the hands off the wheel video).

Both of these links are working and are viewable through the Google Chrome Browser. I can’t guarantee they will work in other browsers.

  1. Analyze Telsa relative to chapter 9, specifically Exhibit 9.2
  2. Based on the video case study and your own research of Tesla, discuss how you imagine Tesla’s new product development process. How does it compare to Exhibit 10.1 in chapter 10? In other words how does the difficulty of evaluation of the final product impact the NPD process and how consumers view/evaluate the product? In this question you are working backwards. Imagine the finished product, do you need to go back and adjust the product to make it marketable or even understandable to more than the early adopters?

Short History Paper – diary entries

/in /by

THIS IS FOR A US HISTORY CLASS, SO ID LIKE TO MAKE IT America-Focused. Thanks!

PROMPT:

The following is an exercise in historical role play. You are a lieutenant in either the French Lafayette Escadrille or the American Flying Service in the First World War–make it clear which entity you represent. You have completed your training to become a fighter pilot and have reported to your squadron. Your commanding officer has ordered you to keep a journal of your experiences. Pretend you are writing over a six-week period–that means you will have 6 entries on one essay. Separate each entry by date. The reason for six entries is that the average lifespan of a pilot in the First World War was six weeks. In each of the first five entries, describe the life of a First World War fighter pilot. Describe your daily life and discuss your successes and your fears. What kind of plane do you fly? What kind of weapons do you use? How does it feel to be in the air? What’s combat like? The more details, the better. Be sure to mention the lives of your fellow squadron members. Remember to stay in character–authenticity counts, as does attention to factual detail. Importantly: In your final, sixth entry, your squadron commander (give him a name and rank) must write a letter to your family describing how your character–meaning you, the pilot–died in combat. This means your character must die in order for you to get any credit at all for this assignment.

RULES:

1) Special Discussion Board Questions should be answered in essay form, providing the type of depth and detail expected in a research paper. You should take the time to explain complicated concepts in a thorough and thoughtful manner. Remember, you need to demonstrate an understanding of events–not only in terms of what happened but also why it happened and what effect it had on society. Remember to answer each part of your question as well.

2) Stay on target—answer the questions as fully as possible and don’t wander off the subject—doing so will hurt your grade. You are not required to respond to any other person’s post.

3) To answer each Special Discussion Question you are required to use resources other than your textbook and you are required to provide a list of those sources at the end of your post. This means you may need to take a trip to your local library or conduct an online search or two before you have the information necessary for you to compose your posting. DO NOT use any of the following as sources: your textbook, films or television programs (including documentaries and filmed courses), lectures, blogs, Twitter posts, or Facebook pages. I take off points if you do.

4) Be sure to cite your sources at the end of your posting. DO NOT use endnotes, footnotes, or any other form of source citation within the body of your post. I take off 50% of your grade if you do. Also, do not use phrases such as “According to Jones,…” because I count those as a form of in-text citation and grade accordingly.

5) DO NOT use quotes (and like all the other DO NOTS, I take off points for doing). I want to read your writing, not someone else’s. Read your sources and then write your essay in your own words.

6) Express yourself clearly. Use good grammar. Write in complete sentences. Do not use any of those abbreviations so commonly used on blogs and text messages. I suggest you compose your contribution on a word processing program with a spell-checker. Then cut and paste–or type it in. This may help you get out everything you want to say before you hit “submit.” Be sure to use at least 12 point type for your response so it can be read. And, no, you cannot edit your contributions after they are posted.

7) Posts should run 1,000 – 1,500 words in length–some will run more and some will run less. The rule of thumb here is to answer all parts of the question thoroughly and in detail (and you’ll be surprised how fast your essay grows as you write it, once you’ve done your research).
