B. Think About Your Writing

Below your completed narrative, include answers to all of the following reflection questions:

1. Which narrative techniques did you use to bring your story to life? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Did you use vivid description, sensory details, and/or dialogue to engage readers? Provide two examples from your essay in which you “show” readers rather than “tell” them. EXAMPLE: A sentence such as “I glanced at the clock, grabbed my briefcase, and sprinted for the elevator” uses more descriptive language than simply saying “I was running late for the meeting.”

2. How did your purpose and audience shape the way in which you wrote your narrative? (3-4 sentences) Sophia says: Your hypothetical audience extends beyond the people who will evaluate your narrative. Which individuals or groups were you addressing when you wrote your narrative, and how did consideration of your audience and your purpose influence the way in which you wrote it?

3. Provide a concrete example from your narrative that shows how you have written specifically for this audience and purpose. (3-5 sentences) Sophia says: Consider including a quotation from your essay and explaining how it was written to appeal to your audience, and to accomplish your purpose. Alternatively, you might describe a theme, tone, or narrative technique that you used and explain how it was intended to appeal to your audience, and to achieve your purpose.
Your narrative must be 500 to 800 words (approximately 2-3 pages) in length.
Narrative Guidelines and Topic Selection Guidelines must be followed or your submission will not be graded.
Double-space the essay and use one-inch margins.
Use an easily-readable 12-point font.
All writing must be appropriate for an academic context.
Your narrative must be original, and written for this assignment.
Plagiarism of any kind is strictly prohibited.
Your submission must include your name, the name of the course, the date, and the title of your composition.
Your submission must include both your narrative and your answers to the “Think About Your Writing” questions.
Submit only a single file that contains all of the assignment components.

What makes these religions distinct or different from each other?

You are tasked with comparing and contrasting two different religions discussed in this course and covered in your textbook. You are expected to use the tools that have been provided for you in this course as well as some independent research. Each paper should apply the tools, theories, themes, and examples provided for you in readings and discussed throughout the course. You are being tasked with applying the materials, concepts, and arguments from the course to this paper. Pay attention to important social and historical contexts. Papers need to be supported with appropriate evidence. For this assignment you will need to consult readings covered in the class as well as outside source materials (this can include books, articles, etc.). Final papers are due via Canvas as a Word document as well as paper hard copy, by the beginning of class. When considering which religions to write on, and while you are writing the paper, please reflect on the following questions: What makes these religions distinct or different from each other? What makes them similar? In addition to the questions above, please compare and contrast how the religions you chose answer the three “Seeking Answers” questions found at the end of each chapter: What is ultimate reality? How should we live in this world? What is our ultimate purpose? Be sure to include the following: An introduction. Broadly introduce the two religions. Be sure to include a clear, concise, and argumentative thesis statement. Content. Tell the reader about the religions you are studying. Describe their essential features. What are the relevant historical, cultural, or social contexts the reader should know about? What are some basic facts or main aspects about these religions that we should know? Why are these religions worth examining? A conclusion. Restate your thesis, summarize your main points, and offer any broader implications or final insights concerning this project. A bibliography. Your paper must include a full bibliography. This is a list of the primary, secondary, in-class, and outside resources you consulted for your paper. You should aim for 5 – 10 sources for this paper. Make sure you are properly using Chicago or MLA citation style. See https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/ for more information on proper citation styles. Things to consider: Focus. You do not have the space to provide a comprehensive or exhaustive comparison of your two religions. For that reason, I highly recommend focusing onapproximately 3 points of comparison. Organization. Is material presented logically and clearly? Is it easy for the viewer to connect ideas? Does the information flow in a logical pattern or is the presentation of the material random? You may want to consider adopting the textbook’s modular chapter structure to organize your paper because it is consistent, systematic, and allows for comparison. Those sections are: oTeachings oHistory oWay of Life Sources. This is your evidence. Citations should be consistent and in a proper citation style. Do you have enough resources? Are you using appropriate sources for the project? I recommend visiting the writing center for this paper: https://umdearborn.edu/casl/undergraduate-programs/academic-support/writing-centerThe final paper should be polished and complete. It should meet the required word count, be double spaced, be in a 12-point font, and be edited to remove errors.

Recently there has been an epidemic of massive killings in the U.S. After reading this chapter, what ways might frustration (stress) have led to many of these acts of violence? How might children/ adults be taught to manage their frustration in ways other than lashing out violently (and often fatally) at their peers? Please use your assigned text as your primary source.

Discuss, compare, and contrast wired media (coaxial cable, twisted pair, fiber optic) with wireless media (802.11 a,b,g,n). Decide which is better and defend your position.

Topic: Wired and Wireless Networking

Discuss, compare, and contrast wired media (coaxial cable, twisted  pair, fiber optic) with wireless media (802.11 a,b,g,n). Decide which is  better and defend your position.

Thread 1

I could start off by saying I don’t like having to pick a specific  media… as every media is good and bad in its own way. There are  different prices, different hardware & software requirements, and  different capabilities for each network media type. What media is chosen  would absolutely depend on the budget, infrastructure, capability  requirements, etc. The list is actually fairly long and can continue to  expand the more you dig into it.

If wired media is being compared to wireless, there are quite a  few differences but I will focus on 4 in particular for this post.

  1. Speeds – Wired media is capable of faster speeds than wireless media.
  2. Cost – Wireless media in enterprise solutions, can be less  expensive than wired media. Again, this is situational. This could be  reversed.
  3. Mobility – Wireless media allows hosts to be mobile and wired media does not.
  4. Security – Wired media is more secure than wireless media.

From my time working with and creating small LANs in the offices  that I’ve worked in, I prefer wired media. Wired media requires more  physical work than wireless, but overall its less technical work. If  everything is wired, then I don’t have to configure a wireless router  and set everything up security wise. With wired media you can get more  for less money. With wireless routers you can spend hundreds of dollars  on a router for an area and the signal cant penetrate the walls, so the  signal is weaker in some spaces. With wired media, I can route  everything through the wall and ceilings and get everyone a reliable  connection.

Even for my home network, I prefer wired media. Its less likely to  be interrupted. Even my Nighthawk gets interrupted every now and then,  which momentarily drops my connection.

 

Examine the nature of the fractional-reserve banking system in the United States, and discuss in detail the tools employed by the Federal Reserve (Fed) to manage the money supply.

Examine the nature of the fractional-reserve banking system in the United States, and discuss in detail the tools employed by the Federal Reserve (Fed) to manage the money supply. As you do so, address three of the following (and only three) assigned concepts in conjunction an assigned question:

  1. Concept: Open Market Operations (OMOs)
    • Question: What is purpose of OMOs, and how does the buying and selling of US securities by the Fed influence the Federal funds market?
  2. Concept: Discount and Federal Funds Target Rates
    • Question: What is the distinction between the discount rate and the Federal funds target rate? Are both rates directly controlled by the Federal Reserve?
  3. Concept: Required Reserve Ratio / Deposit Expansion (Money) Multiplier
    • Question: How is the required reserve ratio related to the concepts of required and excess reserves? Also, how do changes in the required reserve ratio impact the deposit expansion (money) multiplier? Note: be sure to note the formula for the deposit expansion (money) multiplier.
  4. Concept: Fractional-Reserve Banking System
    • Question: What is the economic purpose of a fractional-reserve banking system?

The key to the assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge of three of the assigned concepts. Assignments should be clearly organized, succinct, informative, coherent, and thoroughly based upon an analysis of the assigned concepts. Always keep in mind that the key to the assignment is to demonstrate your mastery of the three assigned concepts you select, the topic question(s) are included only to place your analysis of the assigned concepts into context. Don’t become overly concerned with the topic to the detriment of a detailed discussion of the assigned concepts.

While math does employ logical thinking, so do many other subjects or tasks. How do you prepare a meal that includes both hot items and cold items that require various cooking and preparation times so that they all are ready at the same time?
