Analyze the data. Carry out a cross-tabulation of the two variables that are relevant to your question and conduct a Chi-square test to assess the relationship between them.

Exercise tasks
1. Familiarize yourself with the GSS data. Read about the GSS data here: https://gss.norc.org/, and learn about the GSS Data Explorer here: https://gssdataexplorer.norc.org/ (you will go over the GSS Data Explorer tool during section).
2. Formulate a research question. Think of a research question that can be answered using GSS data and that involves the relationship between two variables. Consider the sociological relevance of your research question, and frame it using general concepts such that you could connect your interest to a broader research field.
3. Download the data. Use the GSS Data Explorer to download the data with the relevant variables and import them to Excel.
4. Analyze the data. Carry out a cross-tabulation of the two variables that are relevant to your question and conduct a Chi-square test to assess the relationship between them.
5. Write up your findings. See next section.
Your write-up
Submit a 2-3 page (single-spaced) paper that includes the following:
1. Motivation (two paragraphs). State your research question and explain why it is a sociologically important question.
2. Data descriiption (three paragraphs). Briefly describe the GSS data, the years you are focusing on, the population groups you are interested in studying, and the characteristics of your sample.
3. Hypotheses (two paragraphs). Specify your null and alternative hypotheses. Briefly discuss why you think the alternative hypothesis should be true.
4. Data analysis (one table and three paragraphs). Include the table that you obtained from GSS and that summarizes your data and allows you to conduct the cross-tabular analysis and Chi-square test. Discuss the frequency distributions of your variables before you discuss the Chi-square test. Then briefly describe what a Chi-square test accomplishes and discuss the results of the Chi-square test that GSS outputs.
5. Conclusion (two paragraphs). Summarize your findings and how they help you answer your initial question.
6. Limitations (two paragraphs). The analysis you conducted is correlational in its nature, and as such, you cannot make any causal claims about the relationship that you characterized. Discuss which other unmeasured factors/variables could be missing in the story your are telling, and how the story would change if you accounted for these factors.
7. Appendix (one page that does count toward the 2-3 page requirement). Show the calculations and intermediate steps that allowed you to carry out the Chi-square test.

Job Description Analysis to Appropriately Staff an Existing Process

The theme for this paper is: Job Descriiption Analysis to Appropriately Staff an Existing Process

As required in the course outline, you have a term paper to develop describing an operations issue within a business unit that you know as an employee or as a customer. This assignment is a start at writing a term paper by outlining the topics in a presentation as an outline and then writing the details in a formal paper.

This week you are only responsible for a slide describing the organization, introducing a problem, and then constructing a problem statement in a question format. This is a rough draft so the takeaway is formulating a problem statement that you can use to write your paper. You are learning how to compose a problem statement so the instructor is expecting a rough draft and not a finished product.

The key to the assignment is to ensure that the problem being addressed is an operational issue and not strategic, or so large in scale that it would take years to address. Operations Management deals with the day-to-day processes of running efficiently so focus on something that can have measurable results on a short-term basis.

How did your experience of doing the DA2 project compare/contrast with doing the DA1 project? In other words, how was doing a meal plan for future consumption vs. doing a food journal retrospective of the past? Any preference between the two? Explain.

Instructions
For this assignment, you will need:

Family Health Tree
DA2 Task3: meal plan’s ASA24 report
DA2 Task 4: Dining by traffic light
In a 2-3 page report, discuss:

How did your experience of doing the DA2 project compare/contrast with doing the DA1 project? In other words, how was doing a meal plan for future consumption vs. doing a food journal retrospective of the past? Any preference between the two? Explain.
How was your experience of eating an unprocessed and/or plant based diet for one day as part of our class? Worth repeating on your own or not? Explain.
Using the DA2 Task 3 and Task 4 assignments (meal plan’s ASA24 report & Dining by traffic light), what are the strengths of your meal plan and the areas that need change, if any.
Using your Family Health Tree, research 3 dietary/lifestyle strategies you can adopt in order to reduce your risks of developing the (3) target health conditions in your family tree (1 strategy per disease). Be specific: include detailed dietary and/or lifestyle behaviors (actions), lists specific foods (not only food groups) proven to be preventative for your chosen diseases.
Note: losing weight is NOT an action. It is the result of other specific actions. For example; reducing portion sizes, cutting out sweetened beverages, eliminating night eating…etc. Be specific about HOW you will lose, gain, or maintain weight if that is a lifestyle change you would like to incorporate.
Your diet/lifestyle strategies must be evidence-based i.e. supported by facts with appropriate citations in standard APA format. For instructions on how to use APA citations in an essay, please consult the Citation Style tab from the PCC Library Research Guide.
Each dietary strategy should be a paragraph (paragraph = minimum of 6 complete sentences) written in font size 12 within standard margins.

End with a meaningful conclusion. What would you like to remember from this assignment/exercise? Any other comments/observations/reflexions?
List your APA citations.

E-commerce Site

Develop a business plan for an e-commerce site
You will develop a concept for an online business and develop a partial business plan to present
to potential investors. Your business can offer any product/service but you must consider all
aspects of the business, such as, production of goods, customer service, and distribution. For

 Where will you source the product?
 How will you take the order for customization?
 Who will do the customization?
 How will the customer get the product?
You do not need to go into extreme detail but you must provide enough information so that it is
clear you have done your homework.
This project is focused on the how e-commerce effects the business functions of sales,
procurement, operations, distribution, and customer service. You will need to pay close attention
to explaining processes, purposes, and technology support.

Data visualization exercise

For this exercise you will practice visualizing and presenting data using the plotting tool of your choice (e.g. Python, Matlab, excel etc.) by doing the following:

1) Go to kaggle.com(https://www.kaggle.com/datasets) and choose an open-source dataset that interests you.

2) Consider the dataset you have chosen and develop a question about the data that you would like to answer using a figure or plot.

3) Develop 1 figure/plot to support answering your chosen question, using a data plotting tool of your choice, taking care to make your figures as useful and easy to understand as possible. Use your prototype to explore how to represent the data. Remember the importance of presenting information clearly and without misrepresentation.

4) Briefly write up a summary of the dataset you chose, the question you considered about the data, and the figures/plots you produced in a document, and then submit a .pdf of your summary document.

5) Along with your summary, submit your prototyped visualization.

An example of a prototyped visualization and document is attached in the files section. Remember, you don’t have to use computer language to plot.
