Your main posting this week is a short essay of 400-450 words. Typically, a short essay has an introductory paragraph, three paragraphs or so of main points with supporting evidence, and a concluding paragraph. Don’t forget to cite the course textbook a minimum of two times.
See the grading guide in Course Documents (in the left navigation pane) for more details.
Choose ONE of the following topics for your main discussion posting for the week. Remember to provide a reference if you used a source other than your textbook for information. Also, remember not to copy and paste from any sources – summarize and analyze in your own words.

Hi All
For the second discussion, I would like you to:
Read the attached document this was collated from numerous previous discussion exercises with HCC students (your predecessors on the course). These discussions outlined potential individual actions to help address climate change but didnt outline the specifics of how to do these actions.
Select and outline two actions from the list (or another source if you prefer) that you already do or would like to do. If you really dont do or want to do anything, just pretend and pick something that seems do-able! You can write up to 300 words for each action.
An example of the type of thing I am envisaging is included below.
Example Action
Theme
Recycle
Action
Recycle paper from my flat/home
Making it happen
Order a recycling bin from the County.
Find out collection days and times.
Find out what not accepted as paper.
Available support
Which website(s) provide information on paper recycling?
Support for other types of activity might include grants and tax breaks.
Possible barriers
Hassle ordering the bin?
Time to sort out the paper.
Time to put recycle bin out for collection.
Forgetting collection day.
Need to ensure sensitive documents are unreadable.
How will you overcome the barriers?
put collection day reminder in your phone calendar.
buy shredder at a cost of $x from website/shop y.
Likely cost
Cost of paper shredder
In Howard County, curbside collection is free to property owners although these are charged a yearly refuse collection charge of $325 per house (with yard trim collection) and $310 (without yard trim collection).
Note: the above is a skeleton answer for your actions, I expect you to provide more details and really talk someone through the process so that the action seems do-able.
There will be no Zoom session for this discussion as the format does not really lend itself to this exercise.
As always, please comment on two posts by fellow students.
I will collate the responses and hope that we move towards a student-produced guide on individual actions (I will collate the responses from the two classes currently running and share it with you).

1. Discuss the many geographical assets of Europe (both physical and human), and then discuss some of the problems and limitations this region also faces.
2. Discuss the many geographical assets of Russia and Central Asia (both physical and human), and then discuss some of the problems and limitations this region also faces.
3. Discuss the many geographical assets of North Africa/Southwest Asia (both physical and human), and then discuss some of the problems and limitations this region also faces.

Explain how each of your choices was an effective policy to thwart international communist expansion.
Based on your selections, analyze if the United States should have feared international communist subversion during the Cold War era (1945-1991)

What is the reporting purpose of the statement of cash flows?
You might try answering one of these questions: How would a lender use it? How would a creditor use it? What could it tell you or a possible investor, about a company? Is this company collecting cash quickly enough to pay bills or is it borrowing money or selling off equipment, to help make ends meet?

Our first couple of writing assignments for this class are meant to help you break down the research process step-by-step. I provide you with a couple of resources in the Module to guide your commentary but feel free to take on the subject of the paper however you like. For example, this paper will be about your own thoughts regarding library research and evaluation of sources.
Why do you think we (in college and university) focus on library database research (secondary research) and/or quantitative research rather than book reports, interviews, or opinion pieces (primary research)?
What apprehensions do you have about doing secondary research?
How do you evaluate your sources for reliability? How do you know you can trust what you are reading or viewing?
You have the rest of the week to complete this assignment, so take your time. I highly encourage you to meet with your classmates (on-campus or via zoom) to bounce ideas off of one another. Don’t overthink the assignment; at its core, this is just a first-person opinion piece… but I want you to consider the sources I have provided and comment on these in addition to sharing your own ideas and opinions.
Criteria for Essay
Must be in MLA format. No exceptions (you should have covered this in detail in ENGL 1301)
Must be at least TWO pages in length – do not attempt to get around this by widening margins, making extra-large spaces between paragraphs, or other such nonsense. Not only do these things not work, but I take them personally insulting (as in “My professor is dumb enough to fall for this”).
You must reference the sources provided in the Module (you do not have to directly quote, and if you do, you do not have to use MLA in-text citation since we will cover that next week)

Answer one of the following questions
1. Morbidity tables in the U.S.
Go the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) Morbidity Tables. Choose a disease of your choice from the tables. Select the disease and a table will appear. At the top, it will give statistics for the entire U.S. population and the table further breaks down cases into regions and state by state. Compare the cumulative cases for this year and last year. Are the number of cases increasing, decreasing, or remaining the same? What region makes up the most number of cases? Research and determine why this region has higher cases than the others. Discuss if it is one state in particular.
2. Surveillance types
Passive surveillance systems are commonly used for infectious disease surveillance such as the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). Describe a scenario where active surveillance is needed. How is active surveillance for this specific disease conducted? Describe a scenario where sentinel surveillance is the best option and why. How would it be conducted?

Please follow the instructions that I uploaded. You can pick any three rights you feel like righting about. 5 paragraphs in total: Intro Paragraph, plus one paragraph per right, and finally a conclusion paragraph.

Thanks,
