Excel 4 and Project 4: Purinex, Inc.

For Excel 4
There will be four Excel assignments that will give students the opportunity to apply the techniques we are learning in class, gain context on how these tools are applied, and also learn common Excel tools that are used in financial modelling. Here are the files you will use to complete the assignment.
For Project
In this assignment, students will use a game tree framework to estimate the value of different options Purinex can pursue to raise needed financing. This allows students to see another common application for game trees on top of the real options valuations that we covered in the lectures. Please ignore any references to a different project mentioned in the walkthrough for Excel 4.
There is no preference regarding citation format or the listing of references.
You are required to use 11 pt. font, one inch margins and 1.5 spacing.
For this exam, you will only have one page to report your recommendation on which alternative to take, and give an explanation for why you feel it is the best alternative. Like the other projects, you may attach tables or exhibits at the end of the report that show your work without any page limits. But make sure your report is well written and professional in appearance. Your calculations need to be clear in estimating the expected payoff of each option.

Ethical Concerns of Artificial Intelligence

Purpose: This assignment helps students understand how to engage with sources and integrate them into their work – placing sources and themselves “in conversation” with each other.
Skills:
Locate print and digital sources that represent multiple perspectives.
Analyze sources by critically reading, annotating, engaging, comparing, and drawing implications.
Practice working through the writing process, including brainstorming, drafting, peer review, revision, and publication.
Compose a rhetorically-situated, researched text that enters an ongoing conversation, integrating relevant sources.

Can I Insert My Opinion in this Paper?
First and foremost, everything is an opinion. However, there are two types of opinions:
An opinion – that your everyday person has on an issue or topic that is not based on any research or expert knowledge. The holder of this opinion has not been part of the scholarly conversation and therefore the opinion may not be valid. Many online sources contain such opinions (not all, of course. But this is why I urge you to make sure you check the credibility of the sources you retrieve from online).
An informed opinion – this is the opinion that comes from a person who has read, studied, and written on the topic extensively. This individual has been part of the scholarly conversation.

So, yes you can insert your opinion in this paper because it is now informed. You have researched the topic, gathered your sources, analyzed your sources, evaluated your sources, examined your views and perspective on the issue based on your new way of thinking, and now you are ready to add your voice and informed opinion into the conversation.

With this said, this does not mean that all informed opinions are not refutable. There could be errors in some of these opinions. However, what makes them still worth examining and considering is that the expert may be willing to change her or his position, as one would hope, as this is what makes an academic, an academic – a person who is always seeking new knowledge and understanding of the world we live in.

How Many Pages?
This paper should be seven to ten pages long. Once again, focus on the content and substance.

Base the writing of the essay off of the annotated bibliography and the research proposal.
Make sure that when writing the thesis, upload a seperate document so that I know what exactly is the thesis statement. Still incorporate it into the writing, but I just need an additional seperate document showing the thesis.

Find a rehabilitation protocol for your injury/condition.

Case Study
The case study is based on the injury/condition you chose for your article review.
Now you will evaluate how a physician believes the injury/condition should be treated.
– Find a rehabilitation protocol for your injury/condition.
o Google search using the injury followed by protocol will pull these up
o Look for a protocol from a reputable source such as a doctor’s office or medical center
– Does the protocol you selected agree with what the research article said? Why or why not
– Based on what you have learned this semester do you agree with the program? Why or Why not?
– What would you change, add or remove? Why?

*Make sure to properly site your article in APA format. Article reviews without citation will be considered plagiarism and will receive an automatic 0. Please use the formatting guidelines below or use a web based citation generator.

The paper I attached is one you wrote for me. It is the ARTICLE REVIEW. Please use the article review that you wrote to go along with the case study. They must go hand in hand as I am turning it in as one project. Please write me if you have any questions.

Write a paper Explaining Cultural Intelligence Theory.

Write a paper Explaining Cultural Intelligence Theory.You have read two articles about Cultural Intelligence (CQ) as well as looked at some tools to measure cultural intelligence. CQ is a multidimensional construct that focuses on central constructs—metacognition, cognition, motivation, and behaviorism.

Your task in this two-page paper assignment is to define CQ, using the sources, in your own words. You are not allowed to use any direct quotations in this paper, as the requirement is to paraphrase. It is a deceptively simple assignment. In addition, you will need to provide 2-3 examples of cultural intelligence, using your own experience.
Finally, you need to develop a diagram to accompany the theoretical framework of CQ, mapping out visually your explanation of the theory. It can be on an additional page.

Two pages, excluding diagram, title page, and references. You do not need to include an abstract in this assignment. NOTITLE PAGE. NO ABSTRACT.

Write a paper on a good way to start an ethical question is “SHOULD…..”

Write a paper on a good way to start an ethical question is “SHOULD…..”
If you cannot start with “should” and list two opposing viewpoints, it is probably not a good topic.

If you need an example, you have two locations to find them:
Any of the topics in the second half of the textbook. All are great examples of a current ethical issue with at least two opposing sides.
Gale in Context – Opposing Viewpoints (note, you will have to log in to PGCC Library to see the page.) This was listed in the “Syllabus, Schedule, Book” section of the course.
___________
Please make sure that your issue meets the criteria listed above. It should be written in this format:
Future Career Industry: Ethical Question in the Industry (2 points)
One side of the opinion
The other side of the opinion
(if there is another, feel free to add that as well)
Personal Ethical Question (2 points)
One side of the opinion
The other side of the opinion
(if there is another, feel free to add that as well)
