Urban Design Assessment

Planners’ initial focus (as the field was in its infancy roughly 100 years ago) was very much on buildings’ and neighborhoods’ design and use. Housing reformers and utopian planners responded to the reality of the industrial city by reimagining tenement housing and then by envisioning entirely different places – Garden Cities and Towers in the Park – and counting on these new forms to improve residents’ well-being and neighborhoods’ quality of life. Many of today’s suburbs and redeveloped areas in cities conform with these visions, but have generated significant criticism from the more recent generations of planners and urban designers – for being impersonal, dysfunctional, and unwalkable. Start your 3-page paper by summarizing our class material that described this, and then pick a neighborhood of your choice (it can be the place where you grew up or a favorite place you visited) to serve as a case study demonstrating the pros and cons of these different approaches to urban design. You must include at least four (4) citations from course readings. (Feel free to include images of your case study.)

For the first part, Please use these sources:

1. The Death and Life of Great American Cities, pages 8-13 and 37-41 and 65-71 (Jacobs) or
1a. Seeing Like a State (Chapter 4) Pgs 16 – 24 (Summarizes the text above)
2. How Planning and Zoning Contribute to Inequitable Development, Neighborhood Health, and Environmental Injustice

For the second part: Please look to these sources for help.

Analysis between Superman and Me / How Kids Learn Resilience

Analysis Essay:
A literary analysis essay develops a claim about a text and does more than summarize. In a summary essay, you inform the reader about what a text says—summing up the main points, events, or ideas. In an analysis essay, however, you must go beyond summary to draw some larger conclusions about the significance of those events. What larger messages or themes are being presented through the details? In analysis, you must make claims of interpretation in your thesis and topic sentences. You then present textual details and analysis of those details in order to support your interpretation. In other words, you will be writing a thesis-driven essay, in which your thesis puts forth a claim about the text, and your analysis serves as a means of supporting that thesis.
In this essay, you will make an analytical claim about how you see Sherman Alexie in “Superman and Me” applying key concepts from the essay “How Kids Learn Resilience.”
An analytical claim is one in which you make analytical observations you have reached in your interpretation of the text. The prompt is certainly open for interpretation; however, keep in mind, not ALL interpretations of a text are correct. You must support yours with evidence from the reading.

Your thesis will need to:
state concrete ways you see Alexie illustrating concepts from Tough’s essay
apply specific concepts and terminology from Tough’s essay
A strong thesis will analyze the application of at least two or three concepts from Tough’s essay.
Note: When you introduce these concepts within the body of your essay, you must first introduce and explain the concepts you are taking from “How Kids Learn Resilience” before you can explain how you see Alexie applying them. Therefore, you will move back and forth your discussion of these two texts, explaining how you see one (Alexie) applying concepts you learned about from the other (Tough).
Writing the Analysis:
To achieve your purpose in this assignment, be sure to do the following:
Present a fully-developed introduction, which concludes with a thesis statement that states your argument.
Present support for your argument in body paragraphs that follow the structure of: topic sentence, support, explanation, and concluding sentence.
Present a fully-developed concluding paragraph, which summarizes your key points and leaves the reader with a lasting sense of the importance of your claim.
Provide sufficient support from the text to support your interpretation.
Integrate quoted material smoothly into your writing.
Include in-text citations for any specific passages that you paraphrase or quote directly.
Include a corresponding Works Cited page at the end.
Use an objective tone and a mix of paraphrased and quoted source material (though more paraphrased than quoted information).
Length: 4 pages, plus a Works Cited page

Choosing technology that matches your goals

Special Instructions (delete this information when typing your assignment):
Keep the questions in your response
The header needs to be per the requirements in the announcement posted earlier in the course. – no exceptions – 15 points
Times New Roman Font size 12 – no exceptions -15 points

Answer the following questions below in your writing

1. Identify some of the different needs you will face as a classroom teacher and determine your goals for meeting those needs. These may include goals related to instruction (e.g., develop an activity that allows my students to interact and share ideas with students from different cultural or ethnic backgrounds), goals related to your curriculum, (e.g., identify resources to supplement my instruction that students and parents access at home), or goals related to recordkeeping or resource management (e.g., create a tracking system to evaluate the effectiveness of my lessons).
2. Consider the type of software that can help you meet these goals. If the software is instructional, what type is it? How does it match your teaching style? Have you used similar software before? What additional skills are required to operate the software? (Be very specific here. I am looking for answers that are connected to “software”
3. What hardware is necessary for running the software? Is it readily available or does it require specialized hardware? If new hardware must be purchased, what justifications can you provide for the expense? Do you know how to operate all the hardware involved in satisfying the needs? If not, what additional skills and knowledge do you require?

Envision how Adam Smith would react to the Black Lives Matter movement and the shootings of unarmed black men based on his writings.

Apply one of the readings that we’ve discussed in class to a current, real-world problem or question.
For this paper, I would like you to envision that you’re applying the work of one of the thinkers we’ve read in class to a
contemporary problem. The paper needs to demonstrate that you understood the argument / text of the thinker and
that you are able to extrapolate, through textual evidence, how this thinker may have responded to a modern problem
(ie. What would Smith have to say about online dating platforms?

The topic should be articulated as a thesis,
and not a statement, meaning that it should offer a nuanced approach to an idea that cannot be reduced to a single
claim or a pros/cons argument

please sustain your argument with textual evidence. This might a few well-selected
passages which function as examples that allow you to further complicate and nuance your thesis. This might be a
textual pattern that you noticed or a passage that you found particularly dense that you would like to explore further.

Again, it can be helpful to think of your essay as an evolving answer to a question, in which
each bit of evidence allows you to address different aspects of a central question. Do be sure to have a clearly
articulated thesis.

Discussion: Group Therapy

Identify a specific group you would like to work with as a counselor. Examples:
marital therapy
family therapy
working with adolescents
death and dying
community/groups who suffer alcoholism, at risk students, etc.
How would you approach ethics and ethical issues when working with this group? Name two leadership strategies you would need to work with this group. Lastly, how would you address diversity/multicultural differences with working with such groups?

Discuss how the bill would impact a nurse’s ability to provide safe and quality care or to practice to the highest scope of the nursing license.
Explain specific actions that nurses can take to assist with the passage or defeat of the legislation
Use Current APA Style, headings and references as appropriate.
