Whorf AND Pinker

Please submit a response (at least one full paragraph, about 200-250 words) explaining what struck you most about the reading. For example, what seemed clearly true to you or false and why? Or what was most interesting to you and why? There is a lot of freedom in what you write about here, I just want you to write something related to the reading. This requires you to actually DO the readings. I suggest that you include a brief quotation from the reading to narrow your focus (5pts).

Explain what your operation does and how it does

Your Operation = General Manager

1. Begin your response to this assignment by submitting a brief reminder about
your operation. Include the name of the operation, a 1-sentence statement
about what the operation does, and your role in the operation. Save this
material for future weeks because I will ask you to begin each your operation
assignment the same way.

2. Explain what your operation does and how it does
it. Explain why you believe it is a goods (manufacturing) operation, or a
services operation, or both.

3. Is your operation well run and successful or is it
struggling? What are its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats?

4. Describe your operation’s customer benefit package and
its value chain. Do manages and associates understand the customer
benefit package (not the term itself but the concept) and the value
chain?

5. Describe what performance measures the operation
uses. What type of data is collected? Is the data used to make
decisions and drive improvement? Select two measures from those you just
described and evaluate them using the nine questions IBM, Rochester
uses (see page 39 of OM6).

6. Do the performance measures monitor the most important
parts of the value chain? What changes would you recommend?

7. Does your operation use a balanced scorecard? If
so, describe it. Is it helpful? If not, should it? Submit a
proposed balanced scorecard if your operation does not have one.
A typical high scoring response to this assignment would be
1,000 – 1,500 words long.

Genetics and alcoholism

have chosen to do is: Genetics and alcoholism. These are my sources: https://psychcentral.com/lib/alcohol-consumption-and-genetics#1

Your assignment
is to conduct research on my topic and compile your findings in an annotated
bibliography. The purpose of this assignment is to provide an opportunity to
set out researching something that interests you and begin building a base of
knowledge and research for your upcoming research paper.
Please consider
the following instructions as you complete this week’s assignment:
Start your
annotated bibliography with a title including the words “Annotated
Bibliography” and followed by your topic as a subtitle. Ex: Annotated
Bibliography: The Migratory Patterns of Humpback Whales
Gather at least
three (3) quality sources that inform your research question.
Start each
annotation with a formal citation in MLA style format for each quality source
you identify.
For each
quality source you identify, follow your citation with a brief (1-2 paragraph)
annotation that both summarizes the source’s main ideas and evaluates its
quality and how it might support your upcoming research paper.

Thinking Like an Economist

An economist plays two roles: scientist and policy advisor. As scientists, economists explain the world, and as policy advisors they help improve the world. Because these two roles have different goals, they require different types of language. Economists as scientists make positive claims, whereas economists as policy advisors make normative claims.
In your initial post, begin by briefly introducing yourself, including your program of study and career interests. Then address the following:
Explain the difference between positive and normative analysis.
Provide an example of a normative statement or an example of a positive statement from a recent news story.
For your response posts, select two or more initial posts that contain
different current news examples (normative versus positive), and
contrast your example with those of your peers. What makes the examples
different? How do those differences relate to the different roles that
an economist plays as a scientist and policy advisor?

You do not need to introduce yourslef I will take care of that part.

half the page should be used for the topic at hand

the other half I will give you two people to respond to

Analytical Short Story- Toni Morrison’s Recitatif

This’s is an Analytical Discussion, 300 words, only use the attached source, simple wording is ok.

Toni Morrison’s Recitatif:
Describe the setting at the beginning of the story.
How do you think this setting impacts the characters?

Government Contracting 7

Go to beta.SAM.gov (formerly FedBizOps) and search for emergency related procurements from Federal departments and agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Forest Service, the National Guard Bureau, and Health and Human Services. Based on the solicitations found, discuss your findings. What type of contract is the government contemplating (FFP, FFP EPA, Cost, T&M, Level-of-Effort, Labor Hour)? What are some risks to these contract types as they relate to emergency procurements?

Fiction (analysis)

This essay assignment requires you to analyze an element of fiction in one or more short story.
You are NOT writing a summary of the story. You are NOT simply to tell what happens in the story. Instead, you are writing an analysis. For this type of essay, you will find an element of fiction we have discussed (narrator, setting, theme, symbolism, etc.) and pull that out with examples from the story, the primary source. You will also support your ideas with information you find from secondary sources like journal articles, books, and information from academically-based websites.
To understand this process, you first need to read over Chapter 43 in the tiny Writing volume of your textbook. **Do not read the Explication section as you will be writing an analysis.
We will use the essay over “The Tell-Tale Heart” in your Writing volume and also these sample essays:
Sample Essay: John Steinbeck’s “The Chrysanthemums”: A Woman Bound by Society
Sample Essay: Characterization and Symbolism in Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use”
Sample Essay: The Existential Theme in Jack London’s “To Build a Fire”
They will give you solid examples of the paper you should write. The documentation might be off a bit, but stick to what I explain on the next few pages, and you will be fine. Read over them all carefully before continuing, and next, we will discuss the process of writing such an essay.
