HUMN 1101 Research Paper Assignment

3-5 pages/750-1250 words (not including Works Cited page) Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1-inch margins 2 documented sources and a Works Cited page Citation and documentation style: MLA format

How would you define “art”? What makes something a work of art? What are the characteristics of a work of art—according to you, not according to the textbook, a dictionary, or a website?

In this essay, discuss your own personal definition of the word “art” and the characteristics of what you consider to be great art. Be sure to include specific artists/artistic periods that you feel exemplify your definition, as well as specific examples of the artist’s work or work from that historical period. You may choose artists/artistic periods from the ones we’ve covered in class and ones from later in the textbook: Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Modernism, Contemporary art, etc. You may even use current artists and musicians as examples as well.

You must also in some way incorporate information, ideas, opinions, examples, evidence, etc., from at least 2 outside sources. Your outside sources MUST be correctly documented according to MLA guidelines—both WITHIN THE TEXT OF YOUR PAPER and IN A WORKS CITED PAGE. Failure to do so will lead to points being deducted and could lead to the paper being considered plagiarized, which would result in a zero.

Note on internet sources: Articles from GALILEO have been approved by me; any other internet sources and/or sites must be approved by me before you turn in your research paper. Usually, sites associated with colleges and schools (ending in “.edu”) or with government organizations (ending in “.gov”) are reliable. You may use your textbook, but it does not count as one of your outside sources. Also, you CANNOT use Wikipedia as a source.

Make sure that your essay is double-spaced and formatted as a Microsoft Word (or compatible

Discuss these guidelines and the laws in your state that address adolescent confidential health care.​

/in /by

An adolescent’s concerns about privacy can prevent them from seeking primary health care, especially for specific sensitive health care services such as STI screening and family planning issues. Those with privacy concerns are also less likely to talk openly with a health care clinician about important health issues, such as substance use, mental health, and risky sex. Recognizing that confidentiality is critical to high-quality care for adolescent women, professional health care organizations have adopted policy statements and practice guidelines that support the provision of confidential services.

Discuss these guidelines and the laws in your state that address adolescent confidential health care.

Windows Server and Implementing Cisco IP

Part 1:

A minimum of 200 words is required for each discussion question, and they must be your own words. Including figures and quotes is value-added, but they will not count against your 200 word requirement. Be sure to examine the discussion grading rubric.

Discussion Question 1:

You are an administrator of a Windows Network Infrastructure that has 200 servers running Windows Server 2016 and you need to deploy another 100 servers over the next few months. You want to ensure that each server has the following configuration performed:

  • Certain server roles and features need to be installed.
  • A set of default users and groups needs to be created on each server.
  • Diagnostic and malware software needs to be deployed.

Describe how to ensure that your current servers and any servers that you install will have this base configuration. Also, describe how to ensure that when these settings are changed, the system is automatically reconfigured.

Discussion Question 2:

Pick a PowerShell command and elaborate on how it can be used in a Server 2016 environment. Explain if there is a comparable way to do the same thing at the Command Line in Windows or by using the GUI.

Part 2:

1. One of the more complex aspects of Cisco switching technologies are the similarities and differences between Content Addressable Memory (CAM) and Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) and their roles and responsibilities as part of the Cisco switching architecture. Both of these technologies are critical to the performance and operation of the Cisco Catalyst switching line of products. In your post for this topic you are to compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the CAM and TCAM in addition to the roles that each of them play in Cisco switching operations. Leverage not only the “hypermedia” from our Week #1 readings, but also venture on to the Internet to find additional sources of information to support your assertions and conclusion.

Post Requirements: Your posts must use at least two (2) sources of information (properly cited using the American Psychological Association (APA) citation guidelines) in addition to the “hypermedia” already provided to you as part of the course. Your post must consist of a minimum of 250 words and a maximum of 500 words. Technical accuracy, proper in-text citations, and depth of coverage all play a critical role in your overall score.

2. Welcome to your first opportunity to “Convince Me Otherwise”! For this discussion post I will present you with a statement that is technically incorrect/inaccurate/misleading and your goal for the post will be to convince me why your view on the issue is the correct view. For example, if I was to make the statement, “The sky is red. Convince me otherwise.”, you would leverage all available information to convince me of the truth which is that the sky is actually blue.

Here is the statement you will tackle for this post: Enterprise network environments don’t really need an Access, Distribution, or Core layers, Cisco just says that so that they can sell you more hardware. Convince me otherwise!

Post Requirements: Your posts must use at least two (2) sources of information (properly cited using the American Psychological Association (APA) citation guidelines) in addition to the “hypermedia” already provided to you as part of the course. Your post must consist of a minimum of 250 words and a maximum of 500 words. Technical accuracy, proper in-text citations, and depth of coverage all play a critical role in your overall score.

3. Compare and contrast the different Cisco switching methods as described in Chapter 2 of the Cisco Press Foundation Learning Guide (FLG). Pay special attention to the advantages that each method has over the others and be sure to include coverage of centralized and distributed switching.

Post Requirements: Your posts must use at least two (2) sources of information (properly cited using the American Psychological Association (APA) citation guidelines) in addition to the “hypermedia” already provided to you as part of the course. Your post must consist of a minimum of 250 words and a maximum of 500 words. Technical accuracy, proper in-text citations, and depth of coverage all play a critical role in your overall score.

4. There are significant differences between Cisco switches that are only capable of performing Layer 2 functions and Cisco multilayer switches (MLS) that are capable of performing functions at Layer 3. Your task for this post is to compare and contrast the technical differences between Layer 2-only switches and multilayer switches.

Post Requirements: Your posts must use at least two (2) sources of information (properly cited using the American Psychological Association (APA) citation guidelines) in addition to the “hypermedia” already provided to you as part of the course. Your post must consist of a minimum of 250 words and a maximum of 500 words. Technical accuracy, proper in-text citations, and depth of coverage all play a critical role in your overall score.

chapter 7 in your textbook discusses the unique issues that are experienced by older gay men and lesbians in society. Review that chapter and watch “Isn’t Aging the Same for Everybody?” to prepare for this discussion. In addition, review the information related to resources for the aging found at the “LGBT Aging Resources Clearinghouse” for this discussion. Then, consider what the issues facing older gay men and lesbians are. Specifically, discuss the legal issues that are related to public policies, end-of-life decisions, housing, and health care. Compare and contrast the experiences of older gays and lesbians with those of older heterosexuals. 

Please note that this discussion is not about whether you personally support homosexuality. You should focus your discussion on what issues are experienced by this group and how those experiences differ from those of older heterosexuals.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references
