What choices did the creator/author have to make, and why did they make them?

In this assignment, you will examine a text (by “text” I here refer to anything which can be read to contain meaning)––an advertisement, artwork, object, map, building, or a physical space––for its textual and rhetorical features, analyzing how its form, layout, and/or physicality affect its content(s). You are to examine its features and question their purposes: what messages, cultural myths (think Barthes), and/or dreams does it convey, and how? Consider the following questions:
-What choices did the creator/author have to make, and why did they make them? -How do these choices reflect the values of the creator?
-What is the linguistic message? The symbolic message?
-What audience does the text “speak” to?
-Is it trying to persuade? To sell? To create an atmosphere?
-Does it perpetuate cultural myths? Does it attempt to create new myths?
-How does it interact with history?
-How does the material or medium affect the meaning?
-Is language utilized in any way? How and why? What about typography?
-If language is used, what lexicons or idiolects does it draw from? See: Barthes’
“Rhetoric of the Image”
-What colors are used, and to what effect?
-Are any symbols utilized? What type of symbols are they––cultural, national, religious, etc––and what do they convey? How do they work together?
-Does time or duration affect the text’s meaning?
-What is the text’s cultural and historical context?
-How was the text made, and who made it? Does the text depict something else(i.e. a product)? If so, who made what it depicts? Consider Bertolt Brecht’s imperative at the end of his poem “In Praise of Learning”: “Put your finger on each item, ask: how did this get there?”
-Where and how would an audience come into contact with this text?How does this affect the text’s meaning?

Write a summary of how the application applies to the oral histories.

This class will consist of seminars on readings that speak to current research starting with the topic “Decolonizing Psychology”.
There are not enough articles for each person to cover their own article. You will have to work with others to direct about a 20 to 30-minute discussion and present the following in class (the materials should be ready to distribute to the class at the beginning of the class period):
· Summary presentation of the article
· Summary of how the application applies to the oral histories.
· 5 Discussion Questions for the seminar (what one likes, didn’t like, didn’t understand, and so forth). The purpose is to create generative discussion.
Each student must individually hand in the following after the class:
· Summary presentation of the article (about 2-3 paragraphs)
· Summary of how the application applies to the oral histories (about 2-3 paragraphs)
· Summary of the seminar discussion (point form is fine – think of these as meeting minutes)
· One paragraph describing key points that one can see applying to one’s own life
· A short paragraph describing one’s role in preparing the seminar relative to the role played by the other members of the team.
It is expected that, while there may be overlap with others who submit material on the same seminar, each student’s work will be unique and students will be graded individually. Students will be graded on their ability to accurately summarize the article and their ability to apply the concepts in the article to the oral histories and to one’s own life. They will also be graded on the accuracy and thoroughness of their notes on the seminar discussion. The submission should be formatted according to proper APA format and organized like a descriptive paper. As such, students will be graded according to logical flow in addition to content. The relative contribution as described in the articulation of one’s role can be used to adjust the grade.

Explain how tone operates in the poem.

nstructions: Select one of the options below. Review instructions carefully.

Discussion Post Guidelines:
Post must be on a poem;
A post must be a minimum of approximately 100 words in length.
Post may be longer, but should be under 300 words.
Discussion Post Reminders:
Writing Tip–Give an author’s first and last name when you first introduce her (e.g.,Sylvia Plath) then only refer to the author by her last name (e.g., Plath);
MLA Rule Tip—Poem titles (of poems under 100 lines) are always placed in quotation marks (e.g. “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”).

Is the tendency of delaying or putting off work that should be completed to achieve a given goal, like playing music instead of handling a complex math assignment.

This is about Procrastination

The assignment is only one page attached on here

For this lab, you will learn how to prepare your spreadsheet and analyze data. Worksheet can be downloaded here: Lab Activity #7 – Frequency Project Data Analysis and you can scroll down to view the video explaining how to do it all. It’s a long video, but it’s worth it! This is not something you can attempt to do without instruction unless you already have Excel/Sheets/JASP experience, and understand reverse scoring of items.

If you need to use JASP in your browser, you can watch the tutorial video How to use JASP in your browser. I’ve also created a very brief quick guide: Getting your data ready for JASP.docx Note: This is not a substitute for watching the video, it is more like a reminder of the main steps.

The assignment is based on the following: Lab #6: Frequency Project Brainstorm & Design

Procrastination: Is the tendency of delaying or putting off work that should be completed to achieve a given goal, like playing music instead of handling a complex math assignment.

We can operationally define procrastination as whatever lies in the psychological study’s goal attainment. Individuals must have the ability and motivation to perform necessary actions to satisfy a certain goal. According to Yeckehzaare et al., (2020), procrastination emerges a more salient concept as society becomes more industrialized. Procrastination is relevant in places of high adherence to tasks and industrialized culture.
Yeckehzaare, I., Barghi, T., & Resnick, P. (2020, April). QMaps: Engaging Students in Voluntary Question Generation and Linking. In Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (pp. 1-14).

We will operationally define age by calculating the number of complete years elapsed between the date of birth and the time point students are in a college. Sex is operationally a distinction between female, male and other individuals without biological characteristics. Operationally ethnicity can be defined as the psychological identification of a person based on their inner beliefs concerning their relevant attributes.
Procrastination is the habit of avoiding and postponing scheduled activities. The most common dominant issue among students is academic procrastination which deters them from educational activities. This research investigates academic procrastination’s prevalence and how it relates to metacognitive beliefs.
Mohammadi Bytamar, J., Zenoozian, S., Dadashi, M., Saed, O., Hemmat, A., & Mohammadi, G. (2017). Prevalence of academic procrastination and its association with metacognitive beliefs in Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Journal of Medical Education Development, 10(27), 84-97. Retrieved From: http://zums.ac.ir/edujournal/article-1-870-en.html

We will collect my data through questionnaires, surveys, and interviews. Office.com is the program that we will use to create my forms. In the upper right pane, we will navigate to the settings on who can fill the forms. We will distribute forms physically to the selected institution using words like investigation, experimentation, groundwork, analysis, and inquiry to describe my advertisement.

Do students procrastinate for fear of failing, or do they do it because of lower self-regulation ability with their academic procrastination?

We will have a specific due date before the final assignment submission date for data collection and writing the paper to ensure the work is complete.

For the next lab, we will talk about how to complete your scoring and data analysis.

Discuss and write about Social Media and Same- sex marriage.Guidelines for Final Paper

The Basics

Length: Minimum of 10 pages
Format: 12 point type, double spaced
Delivery: Post on BB under “Submissions,” AND, as a backup, submit via Word document attachment via email to tomrobotham@gmail.com
Due date: April 27
Topic

Your topic will not be assigned. I want you to choose a topic—related to some aspect of the course—that speaks to you. That said, there are some potential pitfalls that you should keep in mind. If the topic is too broad, it will become unmanageable. If it’s too narrow, you may have trouble finding enough material. With that in mind, let me add that you don’t need my approval of your topic before you start writing, but if you have any doubts you might want to run it by me via email.
Regardless of the topic you choose, your paper must also have a clear thesis. That is to say, it must make a specific argument.
Let me give you some examples of good topics that students have chosen in the past:
EXAMPLE ONE
TITLE: PORNOGRAPHY RECONSIDERED
THESIS: Many people regard pornography as harmless entertainment, but recent studies have shown that it can be quite damaging to both men and women.
TITLE: MORE THAN A PIECE OF MEAT
THESIS: American women have come a long way since they earned the right to vote in 1920. But the extent to which the mass media still depict women as sex objects suggests that the fight for gender equality must continue.
TITLE: QUEER AMERICA
THESIS: It’s been nearly half a century since the gay rights movement began. But good depictions of gay culture in the mass media remain rare.
Organization

Your paper should begin with the following:
Title
Your Name
An epigraph
An epigraph is an italicized quotation positioned at the beginning of an essay, above the opening paragraph. Though it stands alone from the opening sentence, it is always related to the paper’s theme. The epigraph can be a line from a poem, song, novel, film—or even some bit of wisdom your father used to share. It must include an attribution as well as the quotation itself. The reason for this requirement is that a well-chosen epigraph will help you jump-start your writing and will set the tone for your readers.
EXAMPLE: Everything in the world is about sex, except for sex. Sex is about power. ~ Oscar Wilde
Opening paragraph
A good opening paragraph should grab the reader’s attention. You can begin with your thesis statement, OR begin with an anecdote that leads into your thesis statement. An anecdote is, essentially, a little story. It could be a personal recollection, or a story about someone else, in real life or a fictional story, that relates directly to your topic. For example, if you were writing about gay culture, you might relate a story about a friend coming out of the closet in high school.
If you begin with an anecdote, it should lead directly to your thesis statement at the end of the first paragraph or the beginning of the second.
Development of thesis
The bulk of your paper will be devoted to material that supports your thesis.
It should include historical background (for example, a brief history of pornography), followed by a close examination of the relevant facets of American culture today.
Conclusion
A conclusion is a summation of your argument. It SHOULD NOT begin with the words, “In conclusion.” A well-written conclusion is immediately recognized for what it is, much like the climax of a piece of music.

Sources

Your sources must include one actual BOOK. I’m not talking about an e-book. I mean those things with lots of pages between two covers! The reason for this requirement is that in this cyber age, it is important to remain familiar with what I call the architecture of a book. In particular, it is useful to know how to scan a table of contents and use an index to find information in a book that you do not plan to read cover to cover.
You must use three other sources. These could include another book; an article you’ve found online or in a hardcover copy of a magazine, newspaper or academic journal; an interview, or a survey that you or some professional polling organization has conducted.
Please make sure your sources are reputable. You can’t go wrong if you use a well-known newspaper like The New York Times, an academic journal or book you’ve found in the library.

Citations

You must include a works-cited page at the end of your paper. You may choose any style (MLA, e.g.). The important thing is that I can quickly see that you used four reputable sources, including one book. Just make sure you include all the relevant information: the author, the title, and, if it’s a magazine or website, the title of the publication or site, in addition to the title of the article.
Please cite your sources in your sentences. I do not mean parenthetical citations. I mean stating the source in full.
EXAMPLE: In her book Vagina: A New Biography, Naomi Wolf argues that excessive viewing of pornography can lead to sexual dysfunction, even in young men.
Other Considerations

I will deduct points for grammatical and typographical errors, so take time to edit and proofread.
Think in terms of paragraphs. A good paragraph develops a single idea.
Pay attention to transitions between paragraphs.
If you need help along the way, feel free to send me an email with your questions.
