Share your research with the class, and discuss the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Your friend Bob has a four-year-old desktop computer that has an out-of-date processor and 2 GB of memory. It does not have an eSATA port. Bob wants to use an external hard drive that has an eSATA interface to the computer to back up and store entertainment media. How would you suggest that he performs the upgrade, and what is the cost?
The computer has one USB port, but Bob wants to use a USB printer at the same time he uses the USB scanner. How can this be done, and how much will it cost?
Bob uses a Windows® 8 computer for gaming and wants to get a better gaming experience. The computer is using onboard video and has an empty PCI Express video slot. What is the fastest and best graphics card that can be used? How much does it cost?
What is the total cost of all the upgrades Bob wants? Do you think it is wise for him to make these upgrades or would it be wiser to purchase a new system? How would you explain your recommendation to Bob?

I have more instructions to add about the conclusion

This discussion will cover four more mental models that can be used to increase effectiveness. They are in no particular order, and you will likely recognize some of them. As you read about each one, think about a time when you employed a mental model. (Attribution goes to Rhiannon Beaubien as my most recent source of these models.) In this discussion, please offer us a detailed personal example of a time when you employed one of the following mental models:
1. HANLON’S RAZOR. “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” This mental model stipulates that most people aren’t mean; they’re just ignorant or unaware. If someone cuts you off on the freeway, or steps on your new shoes, or coughs in your direction (in public, without a mask), attempt to employ Hanlon’s Razor.
Bitmoji Image
Instead of considering them mean, ask yourself if they might just be ignorant or unaware. Imagine other people’s stories. (And in our class, let’s say that someone writes something egregious in a discussion. Instead of lashing out in response, consider asking questions: What is this true of? What is this person’s story? This person is not mean, so why do I feel like he is?) Your reply might be something like, “I might be misreading your reply. Can you help me understand what you’re conveying?”
Remember, it’s easy to default to “He’s an asshole.” It is more difficult (and perhaps more admirable) to default to “He must be ignorant or unaware. What is he ignorant or unaware of? And why? And how might I attempt to see from his perspective? Can I forgive?”
2. ALGEBRAIC EQUIVALENCE. There are many ways to solve a problem. There is usually more than one right answer. In the following, please solve for x.
(x-6)(x+3)=0
x can equal 6 or -3
6 and -3 are not the same answers, but in this equation they give you an equal answer.
In our class, many of you will earn an A. You will achieve an “equal” result. However, the work you produce will differ. In other words, many of you will find different ways to achieve the same result. In our class, pay close attention to the Rubric for each composition. You will see the minimum effective dose for each criterion.
3. RISK COMPENSATION. Sometimes protective measures are in place to protect us, but as a result, we take greater risks and cancel out the benefits. In our class, for instance, students can earn a lot of extra credit. This is designed to turn a C into a B, or a B into an A. But some students take uncalculated or unwise risks. For instance, some students (last semester) submitted a haphazardly-composed final essay. They likely believed that, even if they did poorly on the essay, the extra credit they’d earned would save them. Unfortunately, they may not have realized that extra credit in our class does not count if the student has a D or an F. See, extra credit in our class is a protective measure. (It’s like a bicycle helmet. Just because you have a helmet doesn’t mean you should deliberately crash into a pole.)
Bitmoji Image
Extra credit exists in our class because some of you are pursuing things that may require you to have earned an A or B in our class. Thus, as long as you have a C or higher at the end of our class, the extra credit you earned will be applied, hopefully turning your C into a B, or your B into an A. It is a protective measure to ensure that you earn an A or B in our class. Please do not take greater risks because of it . . . and cancel out the benefits.
Bonus Mental Model:
Cooperation. (Working with other people is important because you can’t be an expert at everything. Partner with people who have different skills and strengths.) In our class, for instance, I’m eager to partner with you. Invite me into your world, and I can help shine some light on confusion you have regarding our readings, the essays you must compose, etc. Further, partner with NetTutor and/or the MSAC Writing Center before officially uploading/submitting your compositions for a grade on Canvas. (Both NetTutor and the MSAC Writing Center have been linked to in our Course Menu.)
(For many of us, Cooperation is a bit obvious, but it should be included. Please, however, choose one of the other mental models–Hanlon’s Razor, Algebraic Equivalence, or Risk Compensation–when you reply to this Discussion. Thank you. And for full credit, please reply to two of your peers.)This discussion will cover four more mental models that can be used to increase effectiveness.

Critical Reflection Essay Religion and Horror

Students will write and submit short critical reflection essays (5 full double-spaced
pages, 12-point font, times new roman) on the last exorcist:
1) Carefully respond to all of the following: utilizing the ideas of religion as orientation
(Charles Long) and sociophobics (Douglas Cowan), write an in-depth analysis exploring
the relationship between religion and horror as portrayed through one character’s
orientation and one sociophobic theme in the chosen film (note: the sociophobic
theme should come from Cowan’s typology, e.g., fear of death and of dying badly,
fear of change in the sacred order, fear of supernatural evil internalized and
externalized, etc). How would you describe this orientation? What are its primary
characteristics? How would you describe the sociophobic theme? What are its main
elements? How is the religious orientation used to help build a sense of fear associated
with the sociophobic theme? What might all of this together suggest more broadly
about the relationship between religion and sociophobics in American cinema horror?
Students are advised to select at least two specific scenes from the film in order to
tightly focus their essays. All critical reflection essays should include an underlined
or italicized thesis statement (central argument) in the opening paragraph, a body,
which provides specific details (e.g, particular characters, dialogue, scenes, events,
etc.) from the film as well as analysis supporting the thesis statement, and a
conclusion. These essays must be submitted via email.

PROMPT

Compare and contrast Esperanza and the other women of The House on Mango Street. In your response, describe Esperanza’s character, and demonstrate how she is similar to and different from the other women in the novella. Then explain why Esperanza, unlike other women in the story, is able to avoid the pitfalls of her environment.

Cite specific examples from the novella in your response.

Remember to write in standard formal English and use the third person (no personal opinions) and the present tense.

RUBRIC
Your essay should consist of at least five paragraphs.

The literary essay fulfills its purpose of analyzing the characters, themes, and/or historical context of the novel. This purpose is clearly articulated in a valid thesis statement.

The literary essay contains insightful analysis and examples of the choices characters make, the consequences of the choices, the connection to theme, and the way in which these ideas reflect the broader historical or literary context in America. The writer explains the connections between the evidence and the thesis.

The essay has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. The essay identifies the title of the novel and the name of the author, presents a thesis in the introductory paragraph, and ends with a concluding paragraph that summarizes the main points or restates the thesis of the essay. The body of the essay contains paragraphs that support the essay’s thesis. The essay consistently follows an organizational pattern, such as order of importance.
