Hamlet Personal Response Writing

ASSIGNMENT I: PERSONAL RESPONSE TO TEXTS
Suggested time: approximately 45 to 60 minutes

You have read and studied William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet in class for the past few weeks. Each of the characters, King Hamlet, Prince Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, Polonius, Laertes, and Ophelia has a particular approach to facing adversity. Choose one character from the list above to guide your personal response to the question below regarding adversity. [You do NOT have to write about one of these characters, if you do not wish to take an analytical approach — you MAY choose to make them a central character in a story of your own creation OR you MAY choose to take aspects of their character/story and create a character of your own.

The individual facing adversity confronts circumstances or ideas that are both daunting and promising. Much literature examines the ways in which an individual’s response to challenge shapes his or her life.

What are your thoughts about the significance of an individual’s response to adversity? Using any prose form you wish, explore how the way/the ways a character responds to adversity in their life affects the outcome(s).

In your writing, you must

use a prose form
connect the text to your own ideas and impressions

Month Pro Forma

Overview
Creativity and diversity can lead to outcomes that both maximize profit and enhance social well-being. Business leaders use measurable factors to help determine design and development decisions, “go” or “no-go” milestones, financial models, and many “what if” scenarios. In this process, the new product or service is considered as part of a system.

Scenario
You rocked your BMC and received a great response from the experienced project manager (PM). As you read the feedback, you realize that it’s now time to develop the financial component. In the comments, the PM also stated that no matter how good an idea is, to senior management, it’s a “no-go” if the new product or service does not produce sales.

In preparation for your funding pitch, which you will submit as your course project in Module Seven, the PM also warns that funding pitches are quick and decisive. Including too much information could overwhelm senior management, cause more questions, and erode the purpose of the funding pitch.

Prompt
The PM’s directive at this point is for you to develop a 24-month pro forma that demonstrates the potential profitability of the new product or service in an income statement. You will use the Module Six Assignment Template linked in the Guidelines for Submission section to complete this assignment.

You may use the current company’s income statement to project what can be added to the company’s profitability. This can be found in the company’s 10-K. Look to other companies in the marketplace with products or services similar to the one you are proposing as a basis for your projections. Additionally, you may use the company’s current year numbers and key assumptions based on your analysis of the market to project into the future. Remember, these numbers are purely speculative.

In the template, you will specifically address the following:

Previous fiscal year: Identify historical information for the previous fiscal year.
24-month projections: Speculate projections for 24 months.
Explanation of assumptions: Explain how you were able to speculate appropriate assumptions.
Guidelines for Submission
Submit the completed Module Six Assignment Template Word Document as a Word document. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

Adjust, Run, & Interpret

Submit a document in sentence format that includes the following.
State the hypothesis in a sentence (for example): The average body
temperature of people in our class is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
Express that idea using scientific notation notation (For example: A
one-sample test for temperature would read): Null Hypothesis – HO: µ = 98.6, Alternate Hypothesis – HA: µ ≠ 98.6
Appropriate t-test used to evaluate the hypothesis
Alpha (α) level
P-value
State in a sentence or two whether the hypothesis is rejected or if
there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypotheses and what the
results mean.
Also, submit the Excel file used to run your tests.

President Paper for American Government Class- John F Kennedy

The paper is on John F. Kennedy for my American Government Class
instructions:
Students will select a US President (and their administration) to evaluate. The purpose of this assignment will be for students to address multiple aspects of a president, their policies, the political climate of their administration, and their successes. In this course, we will examine how different presidents (and their administrations) serve as models for deeper analysis. This is your opportunity to evaluate a president. Upon selecting a president for examination, students should then address the following questions:
1. What was the historical period of your selected president? Does the historical period complicate the president’s ability to initiate policies or present a policy agenda?
2. What was composition of the US Congress at the time of your selected president? If this was a period of divided government, did the US Congress impede the president’s policies? If so, did the president then act to place a check on Congressional power?
3. What would scholars argue were the most important successes of your president’s term in office? Why were these noted accomplishments or successes?
Write a 1,500 word essay to address the above questions. Students should use a variety of sources for this project. Books, memoirs (if your selected president wrote one), journal articles, newspapers, speeches, and documentaries should be consulted. While there are no restrictions on how many of each type of source is use, the assignment requires the demonstration of at least 10 scholarly sources. Students that do not demonstrate the use of at least 10 sources will receive a grade no higher than a C. Furthermore, papers that cite unsuitable sources (those not deemed scholarly as detailed in this syllabus) will receive a grade no higher than a C on the assignment. Students should ONLY consult scholarly books and scholarly journal articles (i.e. articles accessed by using the databases from the college’s library website). Scholarly journal articles are those sources located in JSTOR and Project Muse (the databases housed on the library’s website). Since students are to use Chicago Style footnotes for their citations, students do not need an attached bibliography for this paper since sources should be cited with footnotes. Be sure to cite your sources as used in the paper. Attaching a bibliography at the end of the paper without in-text citations does not illustrate how those sources were used or the information obtained from each source for the paper. Students will receive a grade deduction for failure to illustrate how the sources were used throughout their paper.
To be clear, scholarly sources are those journal articles as accessed from only JSTOR or Project Muse from the college library’s databases or scholarly books. Do NOT use material intended for children or young adults. No other databases should be used to locate sources for this project. Websites should additionally not be used for this project.

STYLE REQUIREMENTS
1. Chicago style
2. 12 point font
3. Times New Roman
4. Bibliography
5. 10 SCHOLARLY SOURCES
6. in-text citations

Cultural Rhetorics Synthesis Paper

This assignment is asking you to put together the various concepts, ideas, and theories you have read and that we have discussed throughout the semester in conversation. However, not only will you simply synthesize what we have discussed, but I am also asking you to continue to advance the conversation outside of our class discussions.

This paper should be seen and serve as a bridge between your discussions posts and notes and the larger research project you want to pursue for the final project for the semester where you will put the many conversations you have read and that we have discussed in conversation with research you find on own, your own experience, and/or current issue/topic.

Use credible sources when searching for information and quotes on the internet.

Use these articles for the bulk of the information and quotations:

I am providing you with several questions you can use for this assignment. You can use these questions or see them as a starting point. For the paper, you only need to select one group of questions, or you can create your own questions and, after approval, use your questions to guide your synthesis paper.

Guiding Questions:
What role does culture play in rhetoric? How might we continue to expand the field of rhetoric to continue to account for culture?
How can a cultural rhetorical lens make us take into account the power dynamics within our language and literacies?
How does a cultural rhetorics framework expand “traditional” understandings/definitions of “literacy”?

Regardless of the question(s) you choose to answer or the ones you create, this paper should include working definitions for cultural rhetorics. These definitions can be woven into your paper in whatever way you think makes most sense to your question and purpose.

Criteria for a Successful Paper
Central Idea: The paper should convey a clear focus. Even if the paper is addressing several issues the topic and approach to addressing the topic should be clear throughout the paper.

Organization: Does the writer create an effective structure that guides the reader from one idea to the next?
