Description:
The paper should be concise, carefully edited and well-written – approximately 3-4 single -spaced pages. You should use a minimum of seven peer-reviewed sources, the goal of the paper is to explore the current research trends related to your research topic. Thus, your paper will be organized around two to four themes that explain the current research trends about your topic.
Paper Evaluation
Following are the criteria on which your paper will be graded:
o Introduction which introduces topic, establishes relevance, provides overview of paper (10)
o Conclusion which summarizes findings and emphasizes the implications of these findings. No new information should be included in the conclusion. (10)
o Specific explanation of two to four themes integrating a minimum of seven peer-reviewed sources (not including your text book). Your paper should be organized in terms of what the current research says about this topic (not your opinions about the topic). Your paper should rely minimally on direct quotations. If direct quotations are necessary, they should be followed by an interpretation of the quotation. Paper should include conceptual definitions and identify relationships, contradictions, gaps, and inconsistencies in the literature. (40)
o Clearly established connections between the sub-topics, including transitions between paragraphs as well as within paragraphs. (15)
o Paper is organized, grammatically correct, and concisely written (25)
Each APA error will result in a 2% reduction in your grade. You only need to cite in APA style. You do not have to format your paper in APA style (i.e., no need for running head, abstract, etc.).

EITHER: a personal manifesto about democracy … ‘Democracy matters to me because …’ OR:
a political manifesto for democracy … ‘Democracy would work much better if …’ OR:
a manifesto with a geographical bent for a particular place, or linking places around a common concern and examples might be: ‘A democratic experiment for East London would be …’ or ‘A democracy for the Anthropocene has to include …’. This needs to start with the place or concern ‘XX needs democracy because …’
I can send a voice note of the lectuters comments on what they are expecting. It can be literally anything, which you think there is a need for democracy (etc), please have a look at the example I am attatching, I would like the work to be produced in this style.

Argument Research Essay: Human Genetics Engineering
Description:
This project is primarily an "Argumentative Research Essay".
The task is to develop a research essay against the idea of Human Genetics Engineering. The instructor had made it clear that my essay needs to be confident in arguing against the idea of HGE while providing strong support for ideas.
My Instructor had included a thorough essay instructions page. Use this as guideline.
ESSAY INSTRUCTIONS
• This is the most important essay for this course (all told, it’s worth 55% of your final grade).
• Choose a topic from the list I’ve provided that you feel passionate about or at least interested in.
• The essay should be approximately 1,200 words. (No less than 1,100, no more than 1,400). Include
a word count in your title field below the date line (not counting your Works Cited page).
• Read the relevant handbook chapters, following the guidelines for a well-written argumentative essay.
• Make sure you have a clear and definitive thesis statement that forcefully states your position (vs.
your “opinion”).
• Support your thesis with arguments, evidence, facts, and examples. Cite them! ?
• You are required to use at least two academic sources to support your argument. Be sure you
understand what makes a source “academic.” Don’t just mine your sources for good quotes;
actually read them in full so that you truly understand them. This will show.
• Be sure any paraphrases or quotations are smoothly integrated.
• Take into account the opposition: acknowledge them, concede to them, and/or prove them wrong,
but don’t ignore them!
• Ensure your essay has a well-developed introduction and a well-developed conclusion. Do not torture
your reader by merely reiterating in your conclusion what you’ve already said.
• Be sure your body paragraphs are all well structured, unified, and coherent. Each should focus on a
single controlling idea. Each should begin with a transitional sentence (not just a single transitional
word) that 1) makes a clear transition from the previous paragraph, 2) refers to the overall thesis,
and 3) introduces the topic of this new paragraph. Be sure to use transitional terms between
sentences throughout so that the essay flows. Each body paragraph should end with a sentence
that brings it to a close.
• Please provide an intriguing and informative title.
• Make sure your essay is clean and concise. No repetition, no filler, no wordiness: clean out the
deadwood. Develop your ideas if you need to increase your word count; don’t just repeat them!
Draft, draft, draft, edit, edit, edit, and then prooooofread!!!!
FORMAT
• Include a perfect MLA Works Cited page. Improper documentation of the words, ideas, or thoughts
of others is plagiarism, and policy will apply.
• Follow MLA formatting conventions. Print on one side of the paper only. Number your pages in the
upper, right-hand corner, supply a title field in the upper, left-hand corner of the first page (be sure
it is formatted properly and contains all required elements, including, for this assignment, a word
count), double-space the essay throughout, use a standard 12-point serif font, and use at least one- inch margins. Paragraphs must be indented and have no extra space between them. If you’re
handing in a hard copy on April 3rd, your essay must be stapled (with feedback sheet at the back).
• Do not use a cover or folder of any kind.
• Feedback sheet: You must hand your feedback sheet in with your essay. If you hand in a hard copy
of your essay, staple the sheet to the back. If you’re uploading to Moodle, be sure to include your
feedback sheet. Your essay should demonstrate that feedback was taken into consideration and that
you put some hard work into revisions following each of the drafting stages.
Any essay that fails to follow these guidelines will not be accepted.

Managing Finances & Operations - Higher Education
Description:
Please see the attached materials for more information.
Summary:
We’ll begin with the assumption that you have been appointed as the budget manager for your [institutional] unit [my unit is alumni relations] (be sure to read Lecture 2A to learn about the role of a budget manager) and now have been told that your institution is going to use a zero-based budget model with an 80% base for the next fiscal year – meaning, you will have 20% less funding to work with. Your tasks are to:
· Identify which of the current activities/programs you deem to be “absolutely essential” and necessary for the operation of your unit and can be continued under the 80% base. In the “real world” not all activities/programs have the same expenditure levels but, for the sake of this exercise (since this is only a one-month course) we’ll assume the expenses to be equal. So, list all of the activities/programs and then select the 80% that you deem to be the most essential.
· Next, decide which of the activities/programs in the 20% not funded, you would argue should be restored if you were granted an addition 10% funding and articulate a rational for their selection. Picture yourself as having to fight for this additional 10% funding and make your best possible case.
· Finally, decide if the remaining non-funded activities/programs are really something that your unit needs and are worth the strong justification and documentation effort you would have to make to attempt to get central administration consider granting your unit funding for this last 10% of your prior fiscal year allocation. This is a hard decision to make because you have to assume that administration is not going to be disposed to hear your argument so, decide if any of these remaining activities/programs are worth the fight you would face and, if so, how best to made the case on behalf of them for your budget unit.
· We won’t subject you to the daunting task of asking for additional funds above the full level of your last fiscal year allocation for one or more new activities/programs your budget unit wants to begin. But ……… if you want to try it in this exercise, do so, but know that you will be expected to provide extraordinary justification and documentation for such a request. I’ve “been there and done that” in real-life on two occasions and the only analogy I can make is to suggest that the presentation before the budget committee almost felt like a fast and furious combat situation! In lecture 4A we note Birdsall (1995) advising that budget unit managers “demonstrate the ability to make budget hard choices within the department prior to bringing the unit’s budget to top administration” – this is sound advice which can help you prevail in any budgetary wars you may encounter.

• Assignment 1: Bottling Company Case Study
Due Week 10 and worth 140 points
Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided by your instructor to complete this assignment.
Write a two to three (2-3) page report in which you:
1. Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.
2. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.
3. Conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces is supported. Clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.
4. Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:
a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.
Or
b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is not supported or justified, provide a detailed explanation to your boss about the situation. Include your speculation on the reason(s) behind the claim, and recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating this issue in the future.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. No citations and references are required, but if you use them, they must follow APA format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

What is the Blessed Trinity?
The mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic faith. Upon it are based all other teachings of the Church. In the New Testament there is frequent mention of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (www.newadvent.org)
One God, Three Divine Persons – The Catholic Church teaches that the fathomless mystery we call God has revealed himself to humankind as a Trinity of Persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 238 – 248). In the unity of the Godhead there are three Persons – truly distinct one from another.
Who is the Holy Spirit?
Catholics declare that they believe in the Holy Spirit when they proclaim in The Nicene Creed (Mueller, p. 137) “… I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, … I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ… For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. … I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets”.
To believe that God is Spirit means to believe that on this earth you are meant to live a sanctifying life that is a created sharing in God’s own nature – a life which is the beginning of life eternal. “ The human person participates in the light and power of the divine Spirit. By his reason, he is capable of understanding the order of things established by the Creator. By free will, he is capable of directing himself toward his true good. He finds his perfection “in seeking and loving what is true and good.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1704). Thus, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, the Sanctifier and by the gift of Fortitude we are given the strength and resolve to overcome the obstacles to living the faith.
In John 14: 25-26, Jesus says, “ I have told you this while I am with you. The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name – he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” Thus, the Holy Spirit is the parakletos, the Paraclete - the helper, advocate and comforter. It is the gift of Counsel which helps one see and correctly choose the best practical approach in serving God. ( Handbook For Today’s Catholic , p.22)
In place of the departed Christ, the faithful will have the Spirit. Jesus instructs the Apostles (John 16: 7), “Still, I must tell you the truth: it is for your own good that I am going because unless I go, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I do go, I will send him to you”. He, the Holy Spirit, is the Spirit of Truth, teaching them the meaning of Christ’s words, of his actions and signs that had been obscure to the disciples. (The New Jerusalem Bible, footnote, p. 181)
Jesus says to his followers (the Church), “… I will not leave you orphans”. (John 14:17 – 20) After Jesus’ death and Resurrection, the Apostles are filled with the Holy Spirit. This occurred on the feast of Pentecost. “… It is, he (Christ) had said, … John baptized with water but you, not many days from now, will be baptized with the Holy Spirit”. (Acts 1: 5) Thus, it is through the Holy Spirit that the Apostles were given the “gift of tongues” which allowed people of all languages to understand the teachings of Christ. The spreading of the Gospels, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, is the mission of the Church. The gift of Wisdom, which helps a person value the things of heaven and the gift of Understanding, which enables a person to grasp the truths of religion, (Handbook for Today’s Catholic, p. 22), are the inner stirrings of the Holy Spirit that guide us to choose good and reject evil.
Guided by the Holy Spirit, the Church is a personal community that continues Christ’s actions in the world. (Mueller, p. 197) Being “in the Spirit” with the rest of the Church, we live with others in such a way as to build a spirit of love and community. The gift of Knowledge, which helps a person see the path to follow and the dangers to one’s faith and the gift of Piety, which fills a person with confidence in God and an eagerness to serve him, (Handbook for Today’s Catholic, p. 22), are the inner stirrings of the Holy Spirit that help the people of God to live a life of love that is grounded “in the Spirit”.
Catholic belief teaches that openness to the promptings of the Holy Spirit gives the believer the ability to respond to the command of Christ, “… go out and bear fruit… What I command you is to love one another”. (John 15: 16 – 17) The gift of Fear of the Lord, make a person keenly aware of God’s sovereignty and the respect due to him and his laws, (Handbook for Today’s Catholic, p. 22) is the inner stirring of the Holy Spirit that makes it possible for the believer to accept the Supreme love of God.
If you live in the Holy Spirit, the Catholic Church teaches that you will bear fruit. If you listen to the inner stirrings of the Holy Spirit the fruit that you will bear will be: “charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, and chastity.

Adorno and Foucault
Description:
Last quarter you examined Smith’s claim that the spread of commercial society (i.e. capitalism) would enable individuals the freedom to follow their self-interest, understood in terms of both their life activity and their access to the world of goods and services. Foucault and Adorno both call into question the assumption that there is a pre-existent individual who exists always and everywhere, and who could be ‘freed’ to pursue their self-interest in
an open society. Instead, both Foucault and Adorno claim that our modern notion of
individuality is a product of practices which lead us to dominate ourselves behind our own backs.
Begin by describing what Foucault and Adorno believe are the practices that lead to
self-domination in the modern world, i.e. power-knowledge and capitalist commodity
production respectively, and then discuss how they believe modern culture serves to
maintain this self-domination.
Times New Roman, Normal Margins, 12 point font, Double spacing.

Hezbollah Paper
Description:
Our assignment is to write a 4-5 paper paper and as my topic I chose Hezbollah. I have already written the paper and am just looking for someone to go through it, fixing my (probably plentiful) mistakes. I"d prefer someone with some amount of knowledge on the topic already, as there might be some obvious innacuracies in the paper.
Students will prepare a 4-5 page paper on non-Western historic topic of their own choosing. Any country or region except Europe, the United States, or Australia and New Zealand is eligible. Any era may be considered, 1500 to the present.
The best topics will cover a manageable amount of information, allowing the student to tell a story but also to make analytical observations about events in historical context. For example, it is great to describe the Cultural Revolution in China, but better to talk about student anger at teachers as manifested in the Cultural Revolution. A narrow focus makes for a fresh and original paper.

Position Paper: Chopin The Awakening
Description:
TOPIC: Edna did not conform to societal ideologies and tested the limits of civilization by abandoning her family, taking up lovers, buying her own home, and eventually taking her own life.
Presentation and Format Instructions for 3-paragraph position papers (please follow them closely)
–These short position papers will help you get a head start on your final paper, but they are also significant projects in their own right.
–Essentially, all position papers can be broken down into a 3-paragraph model, although that model might need to be expanded into more paragraphs in particular cases.
–All 3-paragraph responses are graded on a ten-point scale broken down as noted below.
A. Presentation
–All responses must be typed and double-spaced and include your name, my name, and the number of the class (LTWR 350).
–All responses must feature a title that specifically states the focus of your position paper.
Quality of Presentation (2 points)
–The response uses good grammar: 1 point
–The format of the paper is handled properly, and the copy you turn in is in good shape: 1 point
Timeliness
–Papers are marked down one point for each class period that they are past due. All papers that are more than two weeks late will be marked down no more than four points.
B. Format
Paragraph One (3 points): Defining the Issue
–Identify as specifically as possible in the writer’s work the particular issue which you are going to discuss in this paper: 1 point
–Identify the most relevant elements of this particular issue in the book: 1 point
–Explain in a detailed thesis statement the writer’s attitude over the course of the book towards this particular issue: 1 point
Paragraph Two ( 3 points): Detailed Interpretation
–Provide at least one significant quotation (2-3 lines minimum) that seems crucial to the issue you wish to explore: 1 point
–Interpret in detail the significance of this particular quotation, showing how this quotation is crucial to the writer’s stance towards the issue in question: 2 points

Additional Position Paper Advice
1) Do not write a position paper only on one short story or poem, although writing on one novel is fine.
2) If writing about stories or poems, try to find a theme, issue, or problem that comes up in two or more stories or poems, whether in the work of one writer or more than one.
3) Remember that you will have to revise your thesis paragraph in order to reflect the specifics of the argument that the rest of your paper makes. Therefore, be prepared to rewrite the first paragraph after you have written the rest. You can even consider not writing the first paragraph at all until you’ve written the other body paragraphs.
4) Highlight passages in the books that seem important to you when you’re reading them. 5) Highlight passages that we discuss in class.

Additional Position Paper Advice
1) Do not write a position paper only on one short story or poem, although writing on one novel is fine.
2) If writing about stories or poems, try to find a theme, issue, or problem that comes up in two or more stories or poems, whether in the work of one writer or more than one.
3) Remember that you will have to revise your thesis paragraph in order to reflect the specifics of the argument that the rest of your paper makes. Therefore, be prepared to rewrite the first paragraph after you have written the rest. You can even consider not writing the first paragraph at all until you’ve written the other body paragraphs.
4) Highlight passages in the books that seem important to you when you’re reading them. 5) Highlight passages that we discuss in class.
The Handmaids Tale Essay
Description:
Examine how Offred changes as a result of her experience in Gilead. How is this development integral to Atwood’s message to the reader? In other words, what is she getting at?
“Pleasure is an egg. Blessings that can be counted, on the fingers of one hand. But possibly this is how I am expected to react. If I have an egg, what more can I want?” (111). Do small pleasures in the narrator’s life make things better or worse? Look at several examples.
“All around us we see evidence of the way in which belief is institutionalized and abused.” Make an argument about Atwood"s portrayal of religion in Gilead.
“Ordinary,” said Aunt Lydia, “is what you are used to. This may not seem ordinary to you now, but after a time it will. It will become ordinary.” What does this scene and others in the novel suggest about the dangers of staying passive?
“The pen between my fingers is sensuous, alive almost, I can feel its power, the power of the words it contains.” Discuss the power of language in A Handmaid’s Tale. What is Atwood suggesting about the power of reading, writing, speaking, etc.? (Try to articulate something more specific than just "language is powerful.")
“I keep the knowledge of this name like something hidden, some treasure I’ll come back to dig up, one day” (84). Explore the importance of names and naming in A Handmaid’s Tale.
Is this novel ultimately a feminist work, or is it a critique of feminism? Or something more complex? Support your argument with specific examples.
Margaret Atwood describes this novel as "a study of power, and how it operates and how it deforms or shapes the people who are living within that kind of regime." In what ways does power deform or shape characters in The Handmaid"s Tale?
On the flip side, this is also a story about agency. How do characters (especially Offred) subvert the system, in large and small ways? What is Atwood suggesting about life in a totalitarian regime?
In Gilead, women are categorized as wives, handmaids, Marthas, or Aunts, but Moira refuses to fit into a niche. Make an argument about Moira"s role throughout the tale and what she represents for Offred (or readers).

Functional Assessment Assignment #3
assess a client with that epilepsy.
In the first section, you will describe the disorder, the etiology, frequency of occurrence in the population, and side effects (including from medications).
In the second section, you will list the functional limitations that a person with this disorder may experience. This will include cognitive functions, sensory functions, motor functions, emotional or behavioral functions, and adaptive coping functions. Failure to address all of these will result in a deduction of points.

Trade in Africa
Description:
This is a position paper on how trade affected the centers of power in Africa . Obviously thats a huge topic for a three page paper so I thought to concentrate on the Swahili civilzation mostly between 1000-1500. But I would be open to anything that relates to the trade topic. The thesis needs to be concise.
