You will be analyzing the communication in a conversation among characters in an assigned television show/episode. You must
write your paper on the specific show/episode that your TA assigns you to watch. Once you know which TV program and episode
to watch, select one particular interaction/conversation within the show to analyze.
OVERVIEW
Your goal is to show how specific course concepts are operating in the conversation that you choose and to make a
case for the importance of those concepts for the characters (as if they were real people). In your paper, you must:
1) Identify and analyze two important language concepts that are operating within the interaction.
2) Identify and analyze two important nonverbal codes that are operating within the interaction.
3) Explain how the language and nonverbal issues that you’ve discussed are operating together to produce
some important effect(s) for the characters (e.g., on their lives, relationships, goals, etc.).

TIP: Planning Process and Implementation
TIP: PLANNING PROCESS AND IMPLEMENTATION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
In the TIP: Mission, Goals, Tasks, and Needs Assessment assignment, you diagnosed a
technology need for your school or organization. We have reached the portion of the project
where you now begin to discuss the specifics for implementation of your plan. For this
assignment, use the TIP Template to build upon what you have already created. The TIP Sample
is also available for guidance in formatting.
For the planning section of this assignment, you will create a chart to depict how your goals and
tasks align with the technology standards or guidelines. These must support your state,
institution, organization, or specific standards from ISTE, UDL, or TPCK. In addition, you will
address each of the needs identified in your Needs Assessment, including changes necessary for
environment, engagement, application tools, and anticipated results. Try to keep this section to
about two pages in length, including the chart.
For the implantation section, you will submit a chart describing the timetable, budget, and
professional development plan for your TIP. Try to keep this section to about two pages in
length, including the chart, but not including the lesson plans.
This section explains how your plan will unfold with actual and realistic timeframes and
finances. For the purposes of this course, select two or three particular technology-embedded
strategies that you can detail in regards to professional development and what they will look
like. These should match with at least one of the strategies previously identified in your plan.
For example, if your plan includes the incorporation of a new reading app for your second grade
students (discussed in your goals/tasks from the first part of this project), focus a Professional
Development session on the use of that reading app.
There are key questions that need to be answered when designing training on technology
integration and instructional practice. It always comes down to how the learners benefit from the
redesigned curriculum. Educators need to move beyond merely using PowerPoint as a good
model for technology integration. As you work on this assignment, ask yourself, “Where in the
curriculum does the resource fit? How will the lesson be different because of the
application/software/hardware now used by the instructor and/or learners?”
Professional Development is most successful when the training is built around the actual work
educators do in the learning environment. If it is applicable to their work, then there will be
greater buy-in among the instructors in your organization. Allow for playtime! Give your
instructors time to experiment with the new technologies or software packages for their
computers. Pace the training in such a way that they have time to explore on their own.
Additionally, you will create two lesson plans (1–2 pages each-this is in addition to the 3-4 page
limit of this assignment, and they do not need to follow current APA format) that demonstrate
how to integrate technology at the classroom level for various diverse groups. The lesson plans
must integrate biblical principles and address cultural diversity, special needs, and varying
socioeconomic groups based upon the ISTE, UDL, and TPCK standards. These can either be
lessons for students or professional development sessions for instructors. The choice is up to you.
EDUC 629
Below are a few bullet points to help guide you in this assignment:
Budget for the equipment and professional development needed to meet each goal. Use
approximate amounts; rough estimates will work. Include a reference to support your quotes.
For the timetable, describe how the professional development will be done. Quality
professional development takes time, so plan over a period of weeks or months to allow for
adequate time for instructors to learn the tools and design the lessons in which they will be
used.
Lesson Plans 1 & 2: Outline two lessons that incorporate the technology tools, resources, and
instructional strategies that you have identified in the above bullets.
You must cite your sources using current APA format. If you cite sources, be sure to include
them in a reference page, as well
The American Philosopher: “A New Name for an Old Way of Thinking:” William James
Need a 10 page paper about the American Philosopher, William James.
Paper has a clear and sustainable thesis, shows a well-thought out, critical engagement with the source texts. The thesis is well supported with textual refrences and quotations, showing a clear understanding of the source material. Clear and well structured introduction that is faithfully developed in the paper. Distinct, original, appropiatley supported (with arguments and examples) statements of the writers own view on the issue reflecting an intelligent and striking style, coherent and cohesive with good transitions betweeen paragraphs, sign posting of ideas and a clear linking of ideas throughout the essay.

Interest groups
*Must have access to Christine Barbour and Gerald C. Wright’s Keeping the Republic power and citizenship in american politics 10th edition.*
There are lots of groups as well that represent people based on identities, like gender, race/ethnicity, religion, age, etc. And lots of groups represent people who share particular issue positions (the environment, human rights, etc.). These types of groups also are permissible options.
Go to the UNK Library’s website ( https://library.unk.edu/ ); type “encyclopedia of associations” into the search box; then when the search list comes up, click on the “Available online” option on the left-side menu. Scroll down until you see an entry marked “OTHER” and with the publication date “200u-” that reads: “Encyclopedia of associations: National organizations of the US” and select it. Click the link marked: “View e-book from Gale Directory Library.” Select the Encyclopedia of Associations database link for its most-recent, 60th edition (2021).
If you have a particular group in mind, type its name into the search box. To browse, expand the Section Heading options and click on the type of organization you want to browse. Please NOTE: the group you select needs to have a political agenda, so steer clear of the categories for hobby, sports, Greek, and fan club-type associations. You may use the Subject Category options to further narrow down the organizations listed under a particular section heading.
Once you have selected a group to focus on, read its entry in the encyclopedia. Gather the following information about the group: where its headquarters is located (city, state); when it was founded; how many members it has; what its budget is; and what the description says about whom the group represents and/or what its mission is. Please NOTE: your particular group’s entry may not provide all of this information. If any categories are missing, don’t worry. You may be able to find the missing information on the group’s website (see item 5 below), or that category of information may not apply to your group.
In addition to the encyclopedia entry, visit the website for your group. There may be a link to its website in the encyclopedia entry, but you also can browse for it using a search engine.
If any of the information in item 3 was missing from its encyclopedia entry, look for that information on the group’s website. Menus with headings like “about us” or “membership” are good places to start.
Finally, find on the website ONE public policy goal that the group currently is pursuing. (A recently accomplished goal would also be acceptable here). Menus with headings like “policy” or “advocacy” are good places to find this information. Gather information on both what the group wants to achieve and what branch(es) or level(s) of government the group is lobbying to achieve that goal. Please NOTE: the goal ought to be quite specific – e.g., a bill before a legislature that the group is working to pass (or to block from passage), an administrative rule or executive branch action that the group is advocating for or against, or a court case that the group is litigating or for which the group has filed an amicus curiae brief siding with one of the parties.
What you submit:
Start by summarizing the basic information about your group: its name, location, founding, and a brief description. What type of interest group is it, based on the typology of interest groups in chapter 13? Explain your reasoning.
In the second paragraph, apply the information from chapter 13 in the section on “Interest Group Resources” to the resources of your group. What are the key resources that matter in general for interest groups in seeking political influence, according to the information in chapter 13? Which of these are the primary resources that your group possesses? Report the relevant information about your group’s resources to support your analysis.
In the final paragraph, apply the information from chapter 13 in the section on “Interest Group Politics” to the lobbying activities and goals of your group. Present one of your group’s current policy goals and whom it is targeting (what level and/or branch of government) to try to achieve it. Then use the information in chapter 13 on lobbying strategies to identify and explain the type of lobbying strategy or strategies that the group is using in pursuit of this goal.
Write your analysis of the group, its resources, and its goals in your own words. Reproduction of language from the encyclopedia entry or the group’s website should be kept minimal.
Your References section must cite Barbour & Wright’s text, the group’s entry in the Encyclopedia of Associations (scroll down to Source Citation and select APA 7th edition to obtain the References entry in the correct format), and include a separate entry for each document on the group’s website from which you gathered the information used in your paper. Remember that the parenthetical notes in the text of your paper must distinguish among these entries.
Discussion: Segmentation Part 2 (Due Slightly Later on Wednesday)
NOTE: The purposes of these questions are to confirm that you understand (at least generally) the reading and to help you by giving you hints about what is happening in the reading. Your answers are not expected to be grammatically perfect. Just provide what you think is the best answer. You will be graded by your effort, not necessarily if you have the completely “right” answer. In fact, many of these questions are opinion based, so there wouldn’t necessarily be a 100% “right” answer.
As a reminder, when finished, please respond to two of your classmate’s posts. Do more than just say, “I like your post.” Explain your reaction to a classmate’s post and why you feel the way you do.
Pre-Discussion Questions
Please read the following article about Nostalgia Marketing: Why Nostalgia Marketing Works (链接到外部网站。). Then, explain what nostalgia marketing is and what some examples of products that you think utilize nostalgia to market to your generation. Feel free to add links to these examples.
Discussion Questions
For this discussion, you will present your research. Please makes sure to do the assignment regarding research skills before you do this.
Find three sources that provide insights into Gen Zers as individuals and consumers. Find out what values, characteristics, behavioral patterns, etc. they have that will be helpful in helping understand their values and lifestyles. For example, start by searching “Gen Z consumers.” Other names for Gen Z are “Post Millennial” and “Net-Generation.” You should then start searching other related terms, such as “generational differences” or “generational purchasing habits.” You can even go more specific into different industries, such as food, clothing, entertainment, etc.
Please use academic search platforms such as ProQuest to find three sources. Then, provide a short summary, maybe 3 sentences for each source and highlight a specific fact you found interesting.
Post Discussion Questions
What are you surprised to learn about Gen Zers?
Is there anything you’re confused about?
Nucor Case Study Analysis
Nucor case investment analysis
(PLEASE CLEARLY SEPARATE EACH SECTION BELOW)
In this team-based assignment, you have been brought in to assess whether Nucor should be the first adopter of a new technology. This requires a $340 million investment in a commercially unproven technology. If successful, Nucor can expand into the flat sheet segment that was previously a segment where only the large integrated steelmakers competed. This assignment requires that you combine qualitative information (e.g., industry and firm insights) with quantitative analysis in Excel (discounted cash flow analysis). I recommend that you assign team leads to each part. The final response requires that you weigh the various pieces of evidence together as a team and conclude with a final recommendation. The Excel cash flow parts contain three worksheets (Nucor thin slab analysis, projected integrated steelmaker modernize, and projected integrated steelmaker unmodernized spreadsheets). You are being asked to apply five complimentary types of analysis to the Nucor case: background analysis (brief industry and internal), cash flow analysis (a template is provided), scenario analysis (i.e., changes within the model), competitive analysis, and real option analysis (i.e., considerations outside the model). Your deliverable should be a memo of up to three single-spaced pages (plus attachments, such as the Excel sheet you used for the analysis). This memo should have five sections based on the numbered instructions below. Be sure to use subheadings, underlining, boldface or similar formatting to communicate your analysis and recommendations clearly and efficiently. NOTE: To encourage a fair distribution of work output, it is important that you specify who the team leads are for the various parts.
In this assignment, you will advise Ken Iverson, Nucor CEO, on whether to adopt SMS’s CSP process. In your memo to him, please address the following issues.
1. Cash Flow Analysis (from your previous assignment)
You already conducted cash flow analysis in your Nucor background analysis and cash flow assignment. Include the results and conclusion of this analysis in your final project.
2. Scenario analysis
Your cash flow analysis relies on a set of assumptions. With the base model available, we could now consider multiple scenarios based on a different set of assumptions. If you change one assumption at a time (i.e., a sensitivity analysis), notice how the NPV, IRR, and Nucor ROA values change. For this part of the analysis, create three scenarios by changing one of the central assumptions. Calculate how your new scenario changes the results for Part 1. Drawing on the case, explain why your scenario is important and whether you consider it likely or not.
3. Competitive analysis
While SMS’s thin-slab technology would offer operating advantages for Nucor (a minimill firm), these advantages are narrowed significantly by the need for Nucor to price its thin-slab products lower than thin-slab products from the integrated mills (i.e., the big competitors) because of the perceived lower quality of minimill steel.
Nucor’s competitors include integrated steelmakers with modernized and unmodernized integrated mills. While estimates vary, let’s assume that 40% of integrated steel capacity was in modernized plants. Exhibit 12B shows that Nucor would have a large cost advantage over unmodernized integrated mills ($225/ton versus $300/ton for Hot Rolled) if it adopted SMS’s technology. However, the cost advantage over modernized mills is much lower. In fact, Nucor might find it difficult to compete head-on with a modern integrated mill that decided to price very aggressively.
This leads to two questions for you to answer.
Based on the “CF analysis-Modernize” and “CF analysis-Unmodernized” Excel worksheets, determine if we should expect the integrated steelmakers to modernize mills that are currently unmodernized. Why or why not? Assume they follow traditional investment criterion (NPV or IRR) rather than Nucor’s ROA.
Given your answer to the previous question, how concerned should Nucor be about competing against integrated steelmakers with modernized mills when it opens its first thin-slab technology mill, if it does so?
Please observe the following assumptions and conventions.
Don’t change any of the figures I have input.
Use 6.45% as the growth rate for the price of steel, not the historical 6.84%
Assume the entire construction cost of modernizing a mill is incurred in 1986
Depreciate the modernization evenly over 25 years, starting when it comes online in 1987. Assume the unmodernized plant has already been fully depreciated.
4. Real options analysis
Consider the following strategic (real) options situations:
Is there benefit to waiting 1-2 years?
Is there benefit to starting the project but then later abandoning the project? In other words, how much of the $340 million investment is redeployable for other uses if we decide to later stop the project?
How should we think about possible growth options (i.e., consideration of plants beyond the first one)? Keep in mind that Ken would ultimately like to build 3-4 plants.
5. Final recommendation
In light of all of the (cash-flow, scenario, competitive, and real options) analysis above, should Nucor adopt the CSP process? Why or why not? Do not just repeat the three conclusions from above. Consider issues that are not covered in the preceding analyses.
