Introduce sources properly

Find two to six reputable secondary sources and review them carefully. At least one of these sources should be a peer-reviewed journal article accessed through the AU Library databases (unless your tutor has agreed to waive this requirement).

Based on the information you found in your research, as well as your own brainstorming, develop a straightforward thesis that is sufficiently limited in scope (meaning that you can do justice to it in a short essay).

As you write, integrate information from your research. Of the two to six sources you located and reviewed in Step 3, choose at least two (and no more than four) secondary sources to use within your essay, and then add quotations and paraphrases from them. Every time you paraphrase or quote, follow these four steps to cite and integrate the source properly:
Introduce the source.
Present the research.
Credit the source parenthetically.
Discuss.
n other words, include “quotation sandwiches” and “paraphrase sandwiches” in your essay. Don’t just drop in quotations or paraphrases from sources into your essay. (Some experts call these “hit-and-run quotations,” “dropped quotations,” or “floating quotations.”)
Create a bibliography that lists every source you cited in your essay. (In MLA style, this page is titled “Works Cited,” ) Take this task seriously. We expect you to pay very close attention to detail and follow samples for each entry. We recommend the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) for all citation matters.

Obama leader

At the conclusion of this course you will be required to submit a capstone paper of five to ten pages which will demonstrate your mastery of the covered material. This paper will review the personality traits and leadership skills (or lack thereof) of a person of your choosing. This person can be a historical or contemporary figure and may be a well-known or not-so-well-known leader. You should introduce your leader and describe why they are or are not a good example of a leader and how you define those qualities. You will use the topics covered in this course to describe your person and shape your argument as to why they were or were not successful in your opinion. As we progress through the course you should pay particular attention to each chapter or section and how it may relate to your chosen leader and how you can take away positive and negative aspects from these topics.
Here is the assignment that you will submit at the end of Week 6:
Style – a five (5) to ten (10) page paper which is double-spaced, using APA, and 12 pt. Times New Roman or Arial font.
Grading – This assignment is worth 300 points and should be submitted no later than the Saturday of the final week of the course so to cover all the topics.
We will have covered a plethora of topics this term which are designed to enhance your understanding and application of the material in the field of leadership and management. These topics are intended to provide to you an advanced level of knowledge in each of the areas covered by weekly assignments and the course level competencies. Recalling this information, you are to write a term paper about a leader (historical or contemporary, personal or famous) which addresses several key areas as discussed in the course.
To demonstrate your mastery of the covered material, the paper should include the following:
Leader of your choosing which should include a short biographical sketch about the person and why you are choosing this individual. Should include education/experience background, company or organization, why you chose them, do you consider them a good or bad leader, etc. The biographical sketch should not be more than 3-4 paragraphs (may include more biographical information while incorporating material from course).
To support your argument, you will need to address topics as discussed in the course and how your person of interest was deficient in these areas or excelled in these areas. This should also cover the weekly and course level competencies and how(if) the person was able to demonstrate them effectively. Your paper should include your opinion of the person (as a leader) and how you feel that the person could improve their leadership skills.
Takeaways/Conclusion – you should describe how you can take examples from your person and transfer those lessons to your own personal leadership situation and address any specific areas which you feel you could improve upon or not replicate, etc.

Social Media 3 Ups and 3 Downs in Emergency Management

This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin®.

Social Media 3 ups and 3 downs
The purpose of this assignment is to assess, from a graduate
student’s perspective,
what we consider the three-ups and three-downs of
Social Media in Emergency
Management. The intent for you, as an
Emergency Manager, is to balance the value of
(and issues) relative the
use of Social Media in Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery
phases of Comprehensive Emergency Management.

What I want you to do is provide me a two page paper (with cover page
and reference
page) on the pluses and minuses of Social Media in
Emergency Management. The first page (double spaced with citations) will
present the three ups (or pluses) for the
employment of Social Media in
Emergency Management. The second page will do the
same thing except
discuss the negatives or downs of Social Media in Emergency
Management.
Any references to a Social Media Exercise should be ignored in this
classroom. I think everyone in the class knows and uses Twitter and
other basic Social Media tools. This paper will require a higher level
of (graduate student) reflection and
analysis into the issues relative
to Social Media in disasters and emergencies.

PS:The three ups and three downs of social media that you will be expanding
upon your writing assignment is on the file named “Three Ups and Three
Downs of social media in EM.docx” ( see uploaded file)

APA Paper (C919 Facilitation of Context-Based Student-Centered Learning: Course Outline)

Class is C919 from WGU. Part A 8-week course outline is completed and I need the APA paper for parts B-F. I have included the 8-week course outline already completed, the rubric for parts B-F, and the APA template provided by the school to use with instructions to follow within each section. Please just follow the rubric for each section as that is how it is evaluated and only needs a competent evaluation. Each section is evaluated on its own and any revisions will only be for specific sections that did not meet the rubric.

Maintenance and Reliability

Class,

Please be advised in your week 3.3 presentation assignment you will be tasked to develop a powerpoint based upon your reading for week three of the course. I have provided an example of what a good presentation should look like (see the link below). The directions are clear on what is expected (see below). I want to clarify one point about the assignment: I DO NOT require your presentation to contain embedded audio. I’m not looking to make this assignment difficult. I do expect you to provide quality content in the presentation – DO NOT make the presentation a collaboration of short cryptic bullets- fully explain what you are taking in less than 10 slides. Show me what you learned from the week 3 reading assignments. Below are the directions and an example presentation for your review.

For this activity, you will assume the role of an aviation maintenance manager. As the aviation maintenance manager, you are responsible for all maintenance actions and for maintaining aircraft in a serviceable condition. For this assignment, conduct research to identify a current aviation maintenance challenge/issue. In your briefing, you will identify the maintenance issue and provide a maintenance strategy to correct the maintenance issue.

Your presentation must include a minimum of five, but no more than eight, slides not including the title slide or reference slide, have embedded audio, and include speaker notes.

Keep in mind that as a minimum your presentation must:

Identify a current aviation maintenance issue of your choosing.
Explain the impact of the maintenance issue.
Define how scheduled maintenance cycles can be used as part of your strategy in addressing the issue.
Determine and support the role of a reliability program in ensuring that your strategy corrects the issue.For this activity, you will assume the role of an aviation maintenance manager.

stage of early childhood

Assignment Introduction
For this assignment, you will prepare as though you are writing a research paper. You will not actually write a paper, though! Instead, you will create what is called an annotated bibliography, which is a list of references you might use in a paper. In an annotated bibliography, you will write a short paragraph under each reference. In the paragraph, you will briefly summarize and analyze the reference, which will help you later when you write the first draft of your paper.
Again, you are not writing the actual paper in this class! My goal is to teach you how to prepare for wiring a research paper in psychology.
Assignment Step 1: Find and analyze 3 scholarly, peer-reviewed research articles related to the stage of early childhood. You may choose any research topic, as long as the focus is on early childhood (somewhere between the ages of 3-8). You must find 3 articles that focus on a similar topic. Here are some examples of topics:
Nutrition
Brain development
Mental health issues
Socio-economic status
Aggression
Play
Resilience
Step 2: Read the articles and:
Provide the full, APA formatted citation for the entry
Write a concise annotation that:
Summarizes the central theme and scope of the article,
Evaluates the authority or background of the author,
Comments on the intended audience,
Compares or contrast this work with another you have cited,
Explains how this work illuminates your topic.
Ensure each entry is formatted correctly according to APA style, free of errors, and written in an academic tone
This paper does not need any special formatting – just type the entries onto a document exactly as I have done in the example.
Important Notes
Your entry must be written entirely in your own words.
Do not use any direct quotes from the article.
Use an academic tone for this assignment.
Double check the rubric for this assignment to ensure you have included all require elements.
Sample Annotated Bibliography Entry
Here is an example of an annotated bibliography entry. You will write 3 different entries like the example below for this assignment, and that’s it! You are not writing the paper itself.
Waite, L. J., Goldschneider, F. K., & Witsberger, C. (1986). Nonfamily living and the erosion of traditional family orientations among young adults. American Sociological Review, 51 (4), 541-554.
The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of nonfamily living.

Metropolis Movie

Write a short synopsis about what the film is about, (include the film title and year), then your thesis statement based on the prompt you have chose, and then what you observed in the film that will support your thesis for your short paper. Length should be 2 pages (3-4 sentences per paragraph) following MLA style rules.

1 inch margins
Double spaced with size 12 font (NY Times preferred) – REMOVE extra line spacing between paragraphs (in the same menu where you choose to double space)
Never write in the first person for an academic writing assignment.
Each time the film title appears in your paper, it must either be italicized or in “parenthesis” and the first time it appears it must be followed by the year (1927) directed by Fritz Lang (for example)
Only use character names in your paper, it’s okay to use the actor’s names, but only after the first time, the character name has been used such as Maria (Brigitte Helm). After that, you would only use Maria when talking about the character.
