Policy Action Memorandum

Submit all parts of your Policy Action Memorandum, including your Conclusion.
The Policy Memorandum should be written to the head of a law enforcement or government agency advising them on a crime prevention or security issue. The memorandum should be a minimum of three (3) pages and maximum of four (4) pages in length, single space, 12-point, Time New Roman font.
Policy Memorandums should be based on published sources (e.g., media or academic journal articles). A list of the subject sources used for the Policy Memorandum should be a attached as a separate Endnotes page that is not part of the memo but allows the instructor to see the materials that formed the Policy Memorandum’s facts and arguments. The Endnote page should list the sources in proper APA citation format.
You can choose your role in this assignment. For example, as a consultant, you should argue for a specific policy/action even while weighing the choices. On the other hand, an intelligence memo avoids taking a position but tried to present options or concerns without recommending a specific action. Students will be evaluated with. rubric that includes presentation skills, organization, and in-depth knowledge of the presented content.
A Policy Action Memorandum is a practical, professionally written document that can vary in length from one page to over one hundred pages. it provides analysis and/or recommendations directed to a predetermined audience regarding a specific situation, topic, or issue.
A well-written policy memo reflects attention to the research problem. It is well organized and structured in a clear and concise style that assumes the reader possesses limited knowledge of, as well as little time to conduct research about, the topic of concern. There is no thesis statement or overall theoretical framework underpinning the document; the focus is on describing one or more specific policy recommendations and their supporting action items.
– You should not approach writing policy memo in the same way as you would an academic research paper. Yes, there are certain commonalities in how the content is presented but the overarching objective of a policy memo is not to discover or create new knowledge. it is focused on providing a pre-determined group of readers the rationale for choosing a particular policy alternative or specific course of action. In this sense, most policy memos possess a component of advocacy and advice intended to promote evidence-based dialog about an issue.
Below there is an example of a Policy Memorandum:

For the Paper:
You will utilize the UoPeople library (https://proxy.lirn.net/UnivOfThePeople?_rwpLaunch=true&groupID=2) to find 2-3 sources for your own research paper. [I attach my research paper below]
You will then create a 2-3 paragraph Literature Review based upon your own analysis and synthesis of those sources.
Your grade will primarily focus on using your own ideas to group together your sources for your own research paper.
Your ability to create and give credit via APA In-Text Citations and a Reference page is also a focus.
If you need an extra tip for this process, refer back to the University of Cumbria’s critical reading questions:
(1) What is the text’s title, and what is the text about?
(2) What is the author’s view? How do I know?
(3) What is the evidence presented by the author to support ideas?
(4) Is the evidence valid? How do I know?
(5) Is the evidence relevant? How do I know?
(6) Have I heard/read anything similar or dissimilar? What was it?
(7) Do I agree or disagree with the views expressed by the author? Why?

Be sure to use in-text citation and provide references for your sources, including textbooks.

In addition, mower housings require 1.2 square feet of sheet metal per unit and tractor housings require 1.8 square feet per unit, and 2,500 square feet of sheet metal is available.

Assignment:
The company would like to maximize the total number of housings they can produce during the planning period.
Formulate and solve a linear optimization model and recommend a production plan.
Illustrate the results visually to help explain them in a presentation to Ms. Burke. In addition, conduct whatever what-if analyses (e.g., run different scenarios and apply parameter analysis) you feel are appropriate to include.
Summarize your results in a well-written report.

Marshmallow Experiment

The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment is a well-recognized study on delayed gratification. This study was conducted in 1972 by Walter Mischel, a Stanford University professor. In this experiment, a child was offered a choice between a small, immediate reward or two small rewards if they waited for a specified period of time. In follow-up studies, researchers proposed that children who were able to wait longer for the reward had better life outcomes.
Select an interaction from your past working or school experiences that you remember well. Examples include interactions at a holiday party or company meeting.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper on the interaction, the relation of the interaction with the Marshmallow Experient and delayed gratification, along with biological and social determinants that contribute to personality. Address the following:
Describe the interaction in the introductory paragraph, including any critical behaviors.
What are some predictors of the behaviors of different individuals in the interaction? According to Rotter, what are their needs?
Is the behavior produced by culture or the situation in which the person is involved?
How does the interaction relate to delayed gratification? What were the immediate rewards? Why is it important?
NOTE: This does involve opinion so first person narrative is appropriate.
Cite all sources used, (No papers will be accepted in this course without references and citations).

Any topic relating to liberal education and the four disciplines: Science, social Science, Humanities and Fine arts

Your job in this paper is to describe and illustrate a topic or theme using Braiding Sweetgrass
and at least three of the four disciplinary areas and we have examined in this course. You should
be able to tie the topic or theme to our broader discussions about how knowledge is created,
used, and shared in the world around us.
No matter how you visualize it, your aim is to think and write about something you identify with
and is important to you. For example, you could consider how science, social science and the
humanities think about ethics, or how fine arts, social science, and humanities influence pop
culture. The topic is quite open, but it must be something you can CLEARLY connect to three
of the four. You must use at least two SPECIFIC references to Braiding Sweetgrass in your
essay to support and illustrate the connections Do NOT simply summarize information from
class; you are expected to analyze and integrate knowledge. Consult with your instructor about
topic ideas, and we will be discussing ideas in the tutorials and labs as well.
Choose a single idea or topic that is meaningful for you, something you find interesting,
something you have been curious about, and something you want to explore further. The main
aim is for you to find and describe the way you see the disciplines work with or apply to the
topic. Your own voice is important, and you are expected to write in the first person (using “I”).
The essay should be clear and well-organized. It should have a title that reflects what the essay is
about. It should be without spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors or slips; be sure to
proof-read carefully before handing in your final copy.
Keep quotations to a minimum. Express your ideas as much as possible in your own words. But
if you use any of the course readings, direct quotations, or paraphrase other sources, cite them
using a consistent citation format. You do not need to cite the lectures or slides, just
acknowledge where you got it from.

Essay 2 Guidelines: Literary Analysis 2

• Use the prompt to develop a clear, debatable thesis statement. EVERYTHING in
the paper should relate to the thesis statement. Remember the following helpful
formula: What does the work accomplish and how does it accomplish it?

• Include support from a secondary source. Use any resource (except for tertiary
sources like Wikipedia) you think will best support your argument. This is the only
time you will be directed to use “any” source. We will study and apply peer-
reviewed sources in upcoming modules.

• Remember: Do not engage in plot summary. When writing a literary analysis, it is
safe to assume your readers have already read the text. Analyze the text and
use textual evidence and articles from peer-reviewed journals to support your
arguments.

• Word Count: 1000-word minimum (not including heading or works cited)

• Integrate at least two peer-reviewed sources to support your claims

• MLA format (including list of works cited)

• No more than 15% of your paper should consist of other people’s ideas/words (In
other words, do not try to pack in a bunch of random quotes. Even too many
carefully selected quotes will overshadow your contributions to the conversation)

• Essay should contain properly formatted in-text citations

• Remember, if you paraphrase an author, you must give them credit. You are
using your words to convey someone else’s idea.

• Your WC page should include the primary source (the text you are analyzing)
and the secondary sources you reference.
