Critical Paper

/in /by

Watch the movie Whiplash, and thinking about following authority blindly (Reliance on Authority) as a barrier to critical thinking, answer the following questions.

  1. Following authority blindly is a block to critical thinking as well as an evasion to autonomy. Discuss one to two specific examples of this from the film. Furthermore, is it possible to defy such an authority? If so what might the outcomes be? Explain
  2. Are fear and shame effective ways to motivate? Does Fletcher’s yelling and exertion of authority motivate Andrew? Why or why not? What other approaches could Fletcher have taken to motivate his students? How can someone get the most and best out of someone else and help make the person great?
  3. How does Fletcher use a system of privilege to maintain his authority? Consider the maintenance of masculinity, sexism, and homophobia as tools Fletcher uses. How do others in the band respond to this authority?
  • Each response should be a well thought out paragraph – this should be a minimum of 3.5 pages.
  • This is considered a formal writing assignment. One of the main rules of writing formal, academic papers is to avoid using second person. Second person refers to the pronoun you. Formal papers should not address the reader directly.

You should be able to find the movie on various websites. I believe FMovies has it available for free. It is also available in our SCC library to check out on DVD. For those of you that have not seen this movie it is rather good, but pretty intense.

​In a feisty response to critics who accuse Wal-Mart, management homework help

/in /by

In a feisty response to critics who accuse Wal-Mart of providing poverty-level wages (around $9.68 an hour, on average) and few benefits, Wal-Mart chief executive H. Lee Scott, Jr., said Wal-Mart offered good, stable jobs, noting that when it opens a store, more than 3,000 people often apply for 300 jobs. “It doesn’t make sense,” Mr. Scott said, “that people would line up for jobs that are worse than they could get elsewhere, with fewer benefits and less opportunities.” Based on what you learned in this chapter, do you agree with Mr. Scott’s assessment? Why or why not?

  • Provide a brief description of the outbreak (who, what, when, where).
  • Describe the pathogen responsible for the outbreak, including the signs and symptoms of illness and complications that can lead to hospitalization and/or death.
  • Discuss the potential source (food, water, air, etc.) and exposure pathways for the pathogen (ingested, inhaled, absorbed, etc.)
  • What were the results of the outbreak? How many confirmed and/or suspected cases, hospitalizations and deaths occurred? How did the outbreak cease?
  • What disease investigation principles were used to determine the pathogen, source and exposure pathway of the outbreak?
  • How can similar outbreaks be prevented in the future?

Basic Nutrition Discussion Post Assignment Guide

Overview: A discussion post is a multi-paragraph written assignment. Each paragraph has a purpose.

1. The first paragraph summarizes the video.

2. The second paragraph connects the learning from the video to the chapter reading.

3. The third paragraph applies knowledge from the video/chapter to an individual’s health in Oklahoma, or to people in general.

4. The fourth paragraph asks a question that encourages open discussion, and references learning from the chapter, PowerPoints, and/or the video

5. The last part of the post is a full APA citation for the textbook, video and any other sources used.

Writing Helps: A guide of helpful tips gives detailed instructions for writing success. Please read as specific slides are referenced for writing expectations.

“Writing Tips for Dr. Tessman’s Courses” (WT4DTC) at: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1llyCE8_fMEQXhniNwi8p_tgbacE1C2Xp-ue6advjBas/edit?usp=sharing

Purpose: Video assignments create opportunities to solidify existing learning through testimonials, or research based information which is set in an easy to understand format. Through the combination of the textbook and video supplements, the goal of these learning artifacts is to increase student retention of content.

Technology Accessibility: To complete this assignment, students will need access to the internet and a computer, smartphone, or tablet with screen in which to view the videos. Video links will be posted on Blackboard and can be logged into through individual MyECU accounts. The ECU Help Desk is available in Danley Hall, Room 102 and can be contacted at 580-559-5884 for technical assistance.

Assignment Guidelines:

A complete LAAVA includes the following (worth a total of 30 points): Post in the discussion board on BlackBoard.

1.Summarize the video– Specific steps for writing a summary are addressed on slide 6 of WT4DTC. Paragraph writing helps are on slides 25-26, APA citations on slides 7-16, and academic writing on slides 17-21 of WT4DTC. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1llyCE8_fMEQXhniNwi8p_tgbacE1C2Xp-ue6advjBas/edit?usp=sharing

    1. In a paragraph, state the main concepts from the video in detail. For example: In the movie, Weight of the Nation, part 1, the statistics for adult obesity discuss the prevalence of overweight and obese individuals in the U.S. increasing dramatically over the past 30 years. Adult obesity has doubled, and childhood obesity has tripled. During the same time, consumption of sweetened beverages has also increased. These beverages are considered empty calories because of their low nutritional density and high sugar content. Even more concerning is the fact that Oklahoma is one of the states with the fastest growing obesity populations.

2. Connect the learning from the video to the text.

a. Example: Chapter 4 discusses carbohydrates. While I knew that carbohydrates contained 4 calories/gram, I was not aware of the different kinds of carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are simple sugars (glucose, fructose, & galactose) and polysaccharides are complex sugars (sucrose, lactose, & maltose). (Thompson & Manore, 2016). If you quote, paraphrase, or summarize information from a source, use APA 6th edition citation guidelines to give credit to this source. APA citation help is on slides 7-16 of WT4DTC.

3. In what way does this new knowledge apply to an individual’s health?

a. Example: Monosaccharides and polysaccharides are important to individuals as the increase in sugar in the American diet influences the preference for sweet flavors in the American palate. The result of this added sugar has been an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes. Sweet tea and Dr. Pepper are beverages of choice by many individuals in Oklahoma and this quantity of added sugar on a daily basis is concerning for their long-term health. Be sure to use formal academic writing explained on slides 17-21 of WT4DTC

4. Create a question that will continue discussion around your learning, or other topic of learning from the video/chapter.

a. Example: The film not only illuminates the sugar density of sodas, but also juices, sports and energy drinks. In a country where the drive through fast food industry is so prevalent, how might one class of students make a difference to decrease the sugary drink consumption of so many people?

5. Respond to two other student questions within 48 hours. For this portion of the assignment, answer the question posed by another student, comment (in paragraph format) on their learning (and how it deepens your learning), or expand on how their learning connects to the text. Paragraph writing helps are on slides 25-26 of WT4DTC.

a. Outstanding comments answer the question in paragraph format, but also refer back to the information from the video and/or the text reading to support individual ideas (with an APA in-text citation). This helps demonstrate understanding of the readings and the videos and illustrates mastery of the material before moving to the next chapter.

b.Rules for posts:

c.Be grammatically correct. Use capitalization, punctuation, and academic language. Students are encouraged to install www.grammarly.com onto their devices to help catch spelling and other grammar errors.

d.Answer with an informed opinion, and provide more than an “I agree”, or “I disagree”. In other words, support ideas with a paraphrase from the text or video and then cite in APA style.

e.Be respectful of everyone. You may disagree with someone, but it must be done in a respectful way. If you believe someone has misunderstood a point in the video or from the text, please provide a full APA citation for where you found information that contrasts with their idea or understanding. For example: “While I understand that some people eat hamburgers every day and seemingly never have any negative health issues, the American Heart Association (2017) recommends only 5-6% of our diet comes from saturated fats such as animal proteins. Since some of the cholesterol that might be collecting within the arteries from those saturated fats is unseen, we have a difficult time knowing the true level of influence that hamburger consumption may be having on a person’s diet.” (Next is the citation) The skinny on fats. (2017, April). Retrieved July 19, 2017, from http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/Cholesterol/PreventionTreatmentofHighCholesterol/The-Skinny-on-Fats_UCM_305628_Article.jsp#.WW9rzYTyvcs

6. Quality of Writing and Proofreading. Written responses are free of grammatical, spelling or punctuation errors. Formal academic writing style is used. APA in-text citations are included in the paragraphs and a full citation is included at the bottom of the post. Formal academic writing explained on slides 17-21, APA citations on slides 7-16 of WT4DTC

When doing the assignments in class, view the rubric while writing to make sure that you receive all points possible. I want you to do well, so follow the assignment directions and check the rubrics to see how assignments will be graded. Slides 1-5 of WT4DTC address reading directions and how to do written work to obtain the greatest amount of points. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1llyCE8_fMEQXhniNwi8p_tgbacE1C2Xp-ue6advjBas/edit?usp=sharing

Discussion : problem 7

  1. Software project decision point.
    1. You need to determine an interest rate to use—select an interest rate and explain why you think this number should be used. Use it in your calculations in item 1.2.
    2. Given the information below on options 1 and 2, carry out three forms of analysis: breakeven, ROI, and NPV.
    3. Make a recommendation on which way to proceed, based on the TCO for each option.
  • Option 1: Purchase the FunSoft package: Cost $200,000 for software and $85,000 for hardware in year one; with $50,000 to customize it and a $40,000 annual licensing fee for the life of the contract. There will be an annual saving of $61,000 due to the layoff of a clerk.
  • Option 2: Purchase the SoftComm package, which will operate on the vendor’s hardware: Cost $250,000 for a five-year license, payable half up front and half during the first year of implementation. The maintenance contract, at $75,000 a year, includes all currently identified modifications to the software for the first three years. The clerk’s hours will be cut by half, for a saving of $25,000 a year.

In both cases, sales are expected to increase from the current $1 million a year, by 10% per year each year (over each year’s previous year’s sales) after full implementation.

Assume a five-year life for the software.

Note:

1.Every paper typed in this course should be in APA formatting (title page, reference page, NO abstract page, in-text citations, running head, page numbers, Times New Roman 12 font, 1 inch margins, double-spacing, etc…).

2.References (this does not count toward the required paper length).

3. Attached the book for reference

ADD A REFERENCE TO DISCUSSION that is all

JUST ADD ONE OR TWO REFERENCES TO THE DISCUSSION BELOW

DISCUSSION 1:

The most recent conflict situation I have been involved in would be with a co worker who was just so against a new software system being implemented on the workplace. She was an older woman and not used to the the use of new technology and software so she was against anything in the department that meant she had to learn new skills. She made meetings regarding the transition very uncomfortable and tension heavy. No one had the courage to say anything to her because she had tenure and had been there longer than us all, even our supervisor. I was the one who had to work closely with her everyday, so instead of letting her negativity get to me, I found ways to show her how exemplary the new software was. I would get 50% more work done than she, and would make sure she noticed. Eventually she asked if I could show her how I made it happen. Without causing any conflict I was able to draw her to the side of the new software and show her how it could improve our department and save us so much more time.

Summary and Descriptive Statistics

/in /by

There is often the requirement to evaluate descriptive statistics for data within the organization or for health care information. Every year the National Cancer Institute collects and publishes data based on patient demographics. Understanding differences between the groups based upon the collected data often informs health care professionals towards research, treatment options, or patient education.

Using the data on the “National Cancer Institute Data” Excel spreadsheet, calculate the descriptive statistics indicated below for each of the Race/Ethnicity groups. Refer to your textbook and the Topic Materials, as needed, for assistance in with creating Excel formulas.

Provide the following descriptive statistics:

  1. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode
  2. Measures of Variation: Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range (a formula is not needed for Range).
  3. Once the data is calculated, provide a 150-250 word analysis of the descriptive statistics on the spreadsheet. This should include differences and health outcomes between groups.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

please follow the requirements i put down and be detailed. thank you
