In what ways do differing rehabilitation practices and prison structures contribute to countries’ differing recidivism and ex-con success rates?
Develop an argument—that is, a thesis—and support it extensively with evidence from the texts, understanding that you must write a coherent, thorough, and carefully organized paper. Whatever the topic is, what I am looking for is a specific analysis, not plot summary or description. Respond to the given topic by illustrating your analysis with quotes from the text (but not over-quoting!). Think about your analysis in terms of an argument that you are supporting with evidence from the text. Ask “why?” or “how?” something is as it is. The point of these papers is to show me you have thought carefully and deeply about the work. The highest grades are given to thoughtful, insightful, critical commentaries that are free from writing errors. Therefore, proofread CAREFULLY.
Choose from ONE of the following:
1) In his poetry, Thomas Wyatt often focuses on the dangers of women in court culture. By examining “Whoso list to hunt,” “They flee from me,” and “Farewell, Love,” explain what these dangers are and indicate exactly how they contribute to a hazardous life in a court environment. Develop a thesis indicating why and explain using evidence from all three poems for support.
2) Show how Philip Sidney, in Astrophil and Stella 10, 18, and 21, contrasts reason with love. Why does Sidney do so? Be specific and use examples from all three sonnets for support.
3) Explain how Edmund Spenser, in Amoretti 65, 68, and 79 responds to, but also modifies, the Petrarchan tradition of love poetry. Why does Spenser seem to react against the tradition and in what ways does he do so? Be specific and use examples from all three sonnets.
4) Although William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is a comedy there are distinct elements of loss, melancholy, and near tragedy in the play. Why? Construct an analysis in which you argue in detail why Shakespeare includes so many “non-comic” features in his comedy. Be sure to use specific examples and textual support from the play to support your argument.
5) What is the relationship between humans and nature in Aemilia Lanyer’s “The Description of Cookham”? Demonstrate how and explain why Lanyer constructs the connection between people and nature as she does by using examples from the poem to argue your perspective.
Write a critical analysis of the Sugar Sweetened Beverages policy and it’s implementation.
In order to write a strong paper on this topic you need to do the following:
-Carefully read the question and make sure that your answer focuses exclusively on the question. Papers that analyze only one time period are incomplete; papers must address the entirety of the time period specified.
-Review the assigned audio recordings, readings from the textbook, and the PowerPoint presentations. The paper must show a strong grasp of all the course material that is relevant to the question, including the audio recordings. Papers based only on the WTWA text and outside websites are insufficient to answer the question fully; the audios and videos must be cited.
-Provide a clear thesis within an introduction paragraph. The introduction paragraph should frame the topic, and at some point the introduction must include a thesis statement.
-Provide arguments and evidence that support the thesis in subsequent paragraphs. Feel free to arrange your paper as you wish, but there must be a clear logical flow. Do not skip around between topics and time periods. If you cannot divine a clear flow based on themes, feel free to order your paper chronologically by starting with the oldest topic and proceeding to the most recent topic.
-Focus on bullets of information and the approved tests in the United States only
-What kind of kits different states are using in America
-What are the big request for testing kits in America
– What materials are needed for each testing kit approved for testing in the United States.
We want this document to be a reference sheet for when we get offers/requests related to testing kits, we’ll know if they are either approved/legitimates tests, or where to route different offers.
Use link directly to FDA and other government websites. It doesn’t need a lot of narrative language – bullets and hyperlinks are great.
Assume you are John Adams of ADS. Based on the following analysis, prepare a report to be submitted to both ADS and DCI executives regarding the status of the filling process at ADS and recommend method to improve quality control at the filling station and estimate the amount of credit to DCI. Use the data provided in the Excel data file.
Insert all graphs and provide analysis in this word file after every question. Only The Word file is graded.
a- Calculate the Range Column in Excel (Largest-Smallest) and find mean and standard deviations for Average Weight, Smallest, Largest, and Range columns.
b- What is the standard deviation of individual bags if sample averages are based on 6 bags? Explain your finding. Hint: x-bar = /sqrt(n). Having x-bar based on part (a) calculation, solve for given n= 6. So = (x-bar)*(sqrt(n)).
c- Construct a time series plot of all four variables (make two graphs: one includes avg., smallest, and largest and the other has range) and discuss your findings based on the graphs.
d- Construct X-bar and R Charts, graph, and discuss your findings based on the control charts. Make sure to include the control limit calculations below. Is the process out of control? Why? Explain.
e- Is there any differences between performances of three shifts? Hint: (Carve out the morning, afternoon, and night shift data into three columns and graph their averages. Explain your findings based on graph.
f- Use One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to compare the three groups (shifts) to test if there is significant differences in the performance of three shift averages. Use Alpha =0.01. Indicate the Null and Alt. hypotheses and explain your findings based on ANOVA table.
g- Assume Tolerance limits of 25±1.25 lbs. is specified in the sales contract and find the Process Capability index Cpk. Discuss if this process is capable to meet contractual agreement.
h- Redo part g for all three shifts separately and determine their Cpk. Note that you must carve out the three shifts and find the mean and standard deviations for each shift separately and go through part b calculations for each shift.
i- If the process average is adjusted to 25.0 lbs. and process standard deviation (answer in part b) is reduced by 80%, what is the new Cp? Are you comfortable for making such recommendation to management? Explain.
j- Find the control limits for an X-bar and R chart if a new improved process has average of 25.0 lbs. and R-bar of 1.0 lbs. Assume n=4 for new process control. No graph needed.
k- Estimate the amount of credit ($) must be given to DCI (for the past 24 months) if it purchased 10,000 bags per month at cost of $3 per lb.
l- Provide complete conclusion regarding your findings and make recommendations regarding the filling process in your conclusion paragraph.

Significance of the Problem
-2-
Identify specific problem areas and the population that will benefit from a group counseling experience. Include the types of problems encountered, the reasons why you selected the population and why the members participating in group counseling would benefit. Make sure you have references from the literature. (Earley, 2000)
Type of Group
The type of group is a support group design. Examine why a support group is helpful for your population.
Goals
Explain what the members will gain in this group by stating the goals. Goals have to be concrete and measurable.
The Setting & Practical Considerations
Decide whether this group will be an “opened or closed group.” Include a description of the group’s composition, size, frequency of sessions, duration of sessions, and meeting location, i.e. residential, hospital, outpatient, school, hospital, residential, or community setting. Explain how you would announce and recruit members.
Selection of Client Procedures
Explain the screening method you would use in selecting members appropriate for the kind of group you’re designing. Identify specific criteria of exclusion and/or inclusion that will determine a client’s appropriateness for this group. Describe the member selection procedure.
Theory and Techniques
Identify and define an established theory (or theories) you propose to use as intervention. Give a brief explanation why this theory is best suited for the kind of population you plan to serve and explain how the techniques will help accomplish member’s goals.
Therapeutic Principles
Examine the factors from the theory you propose that influence the processes of change. Explain how these factors will help members achieve their goals.
Handling Difficult and Problematic Clients
Identify and define three types of clients that can interfere with the group’s process and progress. Explain how the leader will handle problematic clients.
Evaluation of Clients
Demonstrate the efficacy of the group and measure its accountability. You are to develop a questionnaire and describe specific measures that will evaluate the members’ progress. The questionnaire itself should be found in the Appendix section.
Evaluation of Counselor
Describe specific measures how group members will evaluate the leader. Avoid vague words and generalizations. You are to develop a questionnaire and describe specific measures that will evaluate the counselor. The questionnaire itself should be found in the Appendix section.

Although most sources on Lysistrata categorize it as Old Comedy, many who study Aristophanes see this play as a watershed moment at which the genre shifts and begins to introduce some of the elements we will see become common in New Comedy.
For this exam, please discuss how Lysistrata contains elements associated with New Comedy.
How to answer this well:
This is not a research paper; you should NOT look at any sources other than what we have for class.
Structuring your discussion by topic rather than by play will help a lot.
Be sure to use information from our sources and document where you are getting that information. You do not have to include a bibliography, but you do have to cite via parenthetical citation where the sources and quotes are coming from.
When you talk about episodes in the plays, you don’t need to spend time explaining how the characters got there in the plot. If you find yourself summarizing plot action, ask yourself if you’ve strayed away from the topic/point you’re making.
You do not need to include a general introduction about the nature of comedy or the history Lysistrata; I know it’s comforting to write a general intro, but in a short paper, it’s important to dive right in to the topic and spend the space on enlarging your discussion.
Length and Formatting:
Everyone writes differently. Some people are efficient writers and some people are chatty (I am a chatty writer). That said, I would be surprised if anyone could write a solid answer in under 4 full pages, 5 full pages is more realistic.
Please use a Times font, 12 point, and 1.5 line spacing.
Please put your full name on the paper and page numbers on every page.
Please EMAIL the exam to me as a Word doc.
