learning journal unit 1

Part 1:
LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES! This holds true not only in real life but also at the initial stages in programming, so you’ll be surprised to see that we’ll be asking you to make mistakes here.
In Chapter 1, section 1.9 Exercises of your textbook, Exercise 1.1 recommends that you try to make mistakes when experimenting with a new programming feature.
This kind of experiment helps you remember what you read; it also helps when you are programming because you get to know what the error messages mean. It is better to make mistakes now, on purpose, rather than later, accidentally. (Downey, 2015, 7)
For this Learning Journal, first, answer the following questions based on Exercise 1.1. To help you answer the questions, run sample code to produce output for each question. Copy and paste both the code and the output using a Word (or Word-compatible) document. No screenshots, please.
If you are trying to print a string, what happens if you leave out one of the quotation marks or both and why?
You can use a minus sign to make a negative number like -2. What happens for each of the following and why?
>>> 2++2
>>> 2–2
>>> 2+-2
>>> 2-+2
In math notation, leading zeros are OK, as in 02. What happens if you try this in Python? Why?
What happens if you have two values with no operator and a space between them? Why?
Part 2:
Describe at least three additional Python experiments you tried while learning Python language in Chapter 1. In the same Word document used in Part 1, add the following:
include Python code and screenshots of your output.
explain what you learned from the results of each experiment.
The code and its output must be explained technically. The explanation can be provided before or after the code, or in the form of comments within the code. For code modification type of questions, always mention or clearly highlight the part which is modified, along with the reason stated, as a code comment. The descriptive part of your response must be at least 200 words.
If you use an informational source, be sure to identify the source and share the link to the source you used.

How did Political repression and the emergence of Revolutionaries and opposition groups contribted to to the 1905 russian revloution

Outline in a detailed and lucid, and fluid manner How Political repression and the emergence of Revolutionaries and opposition groups was an factor in causing the 1905 Russian revolution.

Outline political repression within Tsarist Russia, start with
how Tsar Nicholas Iafter a military uprising against his rule in 1825 led Tsar Nicholas I to impose a repressive regime. Despite the spread of Western liberalism, which attracted Russian intellectuals, he led a strict autocracy and distanced Russia from the West. Under Nicholas, censorship increased, national minorities faced strict restrictions, and the Third Section (the secret police) was established.

Talk about how Russia had developed into a police state. Many things were forbidden, including:
Freedom of speech
A free press
International travel
Political meetings
Strikes

Make a reference to Pogroms in the Russian Empire.

Make a reference to women and their grievances about illiteracy.

Talk about how There were two main types of groups who opposed Tsardom: 1. Revolutionaries (extremists) –believed Russia could not progress unless tsarist system was destroyed. 2. Reformers (liberals) – strong critics of Tsarist regime, but believed it could be changed for better by reform from within

https://www.ecgbert.sheffield.sch.uk/attachments/download.asp?file=286&type=pdf

Primary sources are essential for this, so ill give some sites below with English translations Talk about how The main bodies of government in tsarist Russia were not reflective of the majority of people and unjust :
The Imperial Council or Chancellery
35 to 60 nobles, picked by the Tsar to personally advise him.
The Council of Ministers
8 to 14 ministers who led different government departments. Ministers were usually chosen from the mobility.
The Senate
10 senators, usually of noble birth, who observed the government’s workings. Although the Senate continued to exist, it had become practically redundant by 1855. This was because, although it still supervised ministers, it rarely intervened in government affairs.

Also the writing of Father Georgy Gapon, and Vladimir Lenin would also be useful

Critical analysis on alcohol and tobacoo

Hello their I will send the insturctions that the professor gave me for how to do the assignment I have to choose two drugs which was alcohol and tobacco

Here is the instruction

Part 2: Critical Analysis

For this section you will now analyze the 2 substances you presented in Part 1. Your analysis should contain 3 sections with headers for each subsection. Just like the previous part, you will compare and contrast the 2 substances.

Your submission will have the following topics:
1. Current use/abuse in society and current government policies or regulation. This section should include information on how each of the drugs are used similarly or differently in society, who uses them most, addiction issues, and the current governmental regulation on these substances.
2. Future use of these substances. This should include any information on changing regulation around the substances, commonality of use (increasing or decreasing) and any other pertinent information for these substances.
3. Your opinion and final analysis of these drugs. Should anything change regarding each of these substances (access, regulation, public knowledge, age limits etc.) in your opinion? What do you think about the current use in society (positive or negative)? Support your opinion with facts you find in the research portion. This section will include your speculation on what the future may hold.
The layout of Part 2 should go as follows:
Section 1: Current Use in Society
-Current use and regulation of Drug 1
-Current use and regulation of Drug 2
-Compare or contrast the use or regulation of Drug 1 and Drug 2
Section 2: Future Changes in Regulation or Use (if any apply, if none for either drug, state that and move on to next section)
-Any potential changes of Drug 1 (such as legalization, regulation, etc. if any are applicable)
-Any potential changes of Drug 2 (such as legalization, regulation, etc. if any are applicable)
-Compare or contrast any potential changes of Drug 1 and Drug 2 (if none for either drug, state that and move on to next section)
Section 3: Final Analysis
-Your final analysis/opinion of Drug 1 (should policies or use of this drug change?)
-Your final analysis/opinion of Drug 1 (should policies or use of this drug change?)
-Write a small conclusion that summarizes this paper
Other notes
Your Part 2 submission will likely be about 2-3 pages double spaced. Part 2 doesn’t need its own title page, but does need references
Just like Part 1, Other requirements:
-You must use at least 2 outside scholarly sources.
-Make sure to cite your sources, please use APA 7th edition to format your sources and your paper
Please label your sections (current use of drug 1 etc.)

Identify the Client and Problem, Conduct a Needs Assessment and Solution Identification

This paper will have an abstract and three main parts: (Abstract) Identifying the Client and (1) Identifying the Problem, (2) Conducting a Need Assessment (3) Solution Identification. You are to write as a 3rd party hired consultant. Do not make yourself a part of the “story”.
Abstract: Identify the Client: The first step is to identify a client for whom you will act as a consultant. The client can be your own work group or company, a family business you are involved with, a business you worked for previously, a volunteer organization you work for or have worked with, or a public company. The client you choose should be a small group or organization in which you can influence change in your role as a consultant. Please do not select “the military” or “the U.S. government” or “Giant XYZ Corporation.” However you may choose a small entity, such as a workgroup, within any of the larger organizations. For example, if you are in the military, focus on your group. If you select a Giant XYZ Corporation, select the department.
Submit an abstract summary describing the client and your relationship with the client. The summary should be no more than a couple of paragraphs. The purpose of submitting a summary is to confirm your client and identified problem that fits the case study criteria.
Part 1: Identify the Problem: In this portion of the paper your goal is to identify a problem or issue that is impacting performance in the organization. With your knowledge of the client you have identified and the learning you have acquired to this point, identify a management problem you will investigate and for which you will provide recommended solutions. If you are working with a supervisor or manager, you may want to consult with them to complete this step.
Instructions: Read the material at the sites listed in the Week 1 Content Section to help guide you in identifying a management problem in your work environment. Complete 2-3 pages discussing the client and the management problem you will explore during this course.
This will be part 1 of your Week 3 Paper.
Part 2: Conduct a Needs Assessment
Next, read the material at the sites listed in the Week 2 Content Section to help guide you in understanding needs in relation to your management problem. Complete a Needs Assessment by submitting a 2-3 page paper discussing the client’s needs with relation to the management problem you are studying.
Here are some questions you can explore to help you conduct a needs assessment:
What is the problem?
How is the desired performance related to the current performance?
How does the desired performance relate to the mission statement?
Is the problem organization-wide or isolated to one or a few individuals?
Have organizational initiatives created the problem?
Does the problem relate to individual performance issues?
Is training adequate to support the desired outcome?
Is the issue related to job design?
What criteria are used to measure performance?
Is performance criteria appropriate, i.e. attainable and measurable?
This list is not all-inclusive and is a guide to support you when completing a Needs Assessment. They are provided to help you get started and inspire questions to explore. Complete 2-3 pages discussing the needs assessment. This is Part 2 of your paper.
Part 3: Solution Identification
For solution identification read the material at the sites listed in the Week 3 Content Section to help guide you in identifying solutions to the management problem you have identified.
Here are some tips to help you create your solutions:
Solutions should focus on the problem, be accepted by the team and be achievable.
Find opportunities to allow the individuals to meet to work out the differences, respectfully. Focus on strategies that can build trust in the relationship.
Look at the tasks that the individuals are responsible for and explore whether or not they have had adequate training or resources to be successful in performing their tasks (so the solution is to provide additional training and/or mentoring to help your folks be successful).
Evaluate the conditions under which these two work (are they sitting right next to the community coffee pot or the photocopy machine or with poor ventilation or no natural light? Is the environment affecting their behavior?) The solution may be to fix the problem by moving them or making some other change.
Is it financially feasible? Can it be completed in a reasonable time? Can it be done within financial cost structures? What is the return on investment?
This course is designed to provide hands-on experience that utilizes the learning from previous courses. With your knowledge of the client you have identified and the learning you have acquired to this point, identify a management problem you will investigate and for which you will provide recommended solutions. If you are working with a supervisor or manager, you may want to consult with them to complete this step. Some questions you can explore to help you are:
• What are the goals of the company/division/workgroup?
• In considering the goals, where does progress halt?
• Is there data to substantiate this or is it a perception of the manager?
• Who is involved…the manager, the employees, stakeholders?
• How long has this problem existed?
• What and how are expectations and requirements communicated?
• When expectations or key deadlines are missed, what happens?
• What factors contribute to the problem (politics, structure, decision-making factors)?j
• Are technical skills or training contributing to the problem?
• Are there ethical issues relating to the problem?
• If so, how have those issues been handled to date?
These questions do not all need to be answered nor is this list all-inclusive; they are provided to help you get started and inspire your own questions to explore while completing this assignment.
As you think about this consider:
When relationships experience roadblocks of any sort we can say there is a problem in the relationship. This is true for both personal and professional relationships. When identifying and analyzing potential problems one would start first with the symptoms of the problem. This is sometimes a difficult process as it can be easy to confuse symptoms with the problem. For instance, perhaps as a manager, you are dealing with a lack of acceptable productivity with two of the ten people who work in your area of responsibility. Maybe one of those people is cranky and difficult to work with.
In this case, the problem you need to solve as a manager is one of increasing productivity in your area to an acceptable level. Managers respond to this issue in many different ways depending upon their skill, ability, knowledge and maturity. Some managers may transfer some of the work from the two problem employees to some or all of the eight other employees. This solution will, in turn, produce additional symptoms that now are visible in the behavior and productivity level of the other eight employees in addition to the original two employees. You can see that this solution will only continue to affect productivity in a negative manner and never really solves the problem. This is why, during the problem identification stage, one ought to be certain they are looking at the problem and rather than trying to reduce or eliminate symptoms.
Complete 2-3 pages discussing the Solution Identification. This is Part 3 of your paper.
Turn in: A 10-12 page paper in a word document, submitted to your Week 3 “Identify the Problem” Assignment folder in the classroom. This is due by midnight on Sunday of Week 3. The Title Page, Abstract, and Reference pages do not count towards the 10-12 page minimum paper length requirement.
Your paper should be in APA Format 7th Edition and contain:
Title Page
Abstract (Identifying the Client)
Part 1: Identifying the Problem
Part 2: Conducting a Needs Assessment
Part 3: Solution Identification
