*State your audience.*Clearly articulate your position as well as the reasons why you hold this position, using evidence to support the validity of your stance.*Present information confidently and efficiently.*Use established information for support, as well as personal “evidence” (if applicable) such as short anecdotes and examples from your own experience, or the experience of others.*Maintain a persuasive tone that will be accessible (not alienating or insulting) to your particular audience.Your book offers a variety of topic suggestions for the Persuasive Research Paper.  You’ve probably noticed at all of the topics in the book deal with controversial issues.  This is always true of persuasive research topics.  After all, if everyone already agrees on something, why would you need to persuade them?All of these topics work well for these paper, so feel free to consider any of the suggestions in the book. Notice that there are really no limits in terms of your topics for this paper.  However, you do want to pick something that is specific-enough in focus, so that you can adequately cover the topic in 4-6 pages (at least 1000-1500 words). Your topics for this paper, in my class, can also be related to national current events, national policies, or issues of national debate (other than the specific topics that I have warned again in the “Assignment” section).  Alternatively, your topic can be focused on a local or workplace issues.  I do, however, have two important recommendations:   1.) Try to steer away from topics that have already been beaten to death or that are impossible to prove using logic or evidence.  For instance, “abortion” has been written about so much that it’s difficult for someone to say anything new.  Likewise, issues of faith (such as “why everyone should be a part of X religion”) are also problematic, as they are issues of Since “faith” by nature means that you believe in something even though you can’t prove it, topics related to faith don’t work very well for the Persuasive Research Paper.2.) Choose something you care about.  Once again, the best writing has passion and conviction behind it.  And, in this paper, you may spend a little time discussing your personal connection or personal stake in the issue.  In fact, I highly recommend that you do include at least a brief discussion of your personal connection/stake, as this makes the paper more interesting, creative, and individualized.Our reading this week in Chapter 6 offers you examples of position papers and a detailed discussion of the strategies you may use in crafting your own paper.  The Guide to Writing section at the end of this chapter is designed to help you choose your topic and find the sources that you need.  (“Sources” for this paper can include dictionaries, encyclopedias, internet articles, magazine or newspaper articles, books, etc.)The Persuasive Research Paper must be 4-6 pages long (at least 1000-1500 words).  You’ll want to provide a clear position and compelling reasons and support for this position.  You will also want to anticipate the objections and opposing positions that you might get in reaction to your paper.  But how do you organize all of this?   

Your Unit 9 Assignment has two parts. In Part I, you will be watching videos of children participating in reading activities, and you will document and assess the behavior you witness. You will use this information in Part II of the Assignment, in which you will write a paper and use theoretical perspectives to explain the language development you witnessed. The template provided has been set up in the correct format to complete both parts of this Assignment.Watch the three videos provided and document your observations using the assessment forms provided in the template. Complete a Checklist on your observation of the reading behaviors one of the more vocal children in the group. The video length is 1:21. Complete an Anecdotal Record on the vocabulary level of Sam. After clicking this link, scroll until you get to Sam Reading Books. Complete Story Book Language Observation of one of the children in the video.The documentation you create will be submitted as appendices to Part II of this Assignment.Once you have completed your observations and assessment documentation, write a 1- to 2-page paper explaining the typical language development you observed and outlining the theoretical perspectives observed in the students in the videos. You will also provide a summary of the assessments you used during your observation.Be sure to use specific information from your readings in your paper, and be sure to use APA formatting. Information regarding APA formatting can be found in the Writing Center and should be reviewed thoroughly. APA formatting dictates how your paper should appear on each page. Refer to the APA Quick Reference under Course Home for examples of how to cite sources.You will submit your completed Assignment in the template provided in Doc Sharing using the following guidelines.Your paper should include:You should follow these formatting guidelines for your paper:Your writing should be organized, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful. Your work should display superior content, organization, style, and mechanics while demonstrating the ability to apply critical thinking skills to illustrate sound reasoning. Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style. Avoid any practice that might constitute plagiarism. Use the rubric as your guide to ensure that you include all the required contents.

Based on your reading in Chapters 14-15 in Living with Art, respond to the TWO questions below. Then for each question, respond to one of your peers. Your responses should be “mini-essays” ranging from 175-300 words per question.

In prepartion for this Discussion Board, be sure to review the Power Point, “How to Write a Comparison”. This mini-lecture will help you in responding to any of these questions.

In responding to the questions for each discussion board, you are expected to select specific examples of art works from the text book to illustrate and support your points—these supporting examples of art works should be different from those that the author of the course text uses when discussing similar themes or issues. Include the artist, title and page number of the each work of art you use. You may also find images of art works on the internet. If you do so, include the link and source information.

Comment on at least two of your peers’ posts; please remember to indicate to whom or to which post your peer comments are directed. Comments should be substantive, with supported critical analysis. Supported means offering specific examples of art or quotes, or historic information to support your ideas. Include citations for your sources.

Try looking in other chapters of the course text, even those that are not assigned; you will find a wealth of images throughout the book. It should be part of your learning experience in this course to learn to LOOK at works of art and to see not only what the experts see, but also to experience a work of art for yourself and to discover what you find there.

Also, remember that if you copy or paraphrase word or ideas from the text or other sources, make sure that you follow appropriate procedures for crediting those sources. Put any quoted text in quotation marks “” and follow it with the source in parenthesis (). Citing incorrectly will reduce your grade and may be considered plagiarism. You must cite your sources in MLA format at the end of each response. Review announcements on how to cite correctly.

from the text or that do little more than repeat other students’ posts will not receive high marks. Originality and critical thought are the goals here.

linked item Week Two Discussion
Part I: Distinguish between the Paleolithic and Neolithic Periods in terms of time and cultural developments. Compare and contrast specific examples of artifacts, practices, and systems of belief. Discuss why art survives or does not. Include the four reasons Getlein cites for how art survives, giving an example of art work from both the Paleolithic and Neolithic Periods that meet one of these requirements. What types of art work or materials would not likely survive? How might this affect our opinion of a culture?

Part II: Describe the shift in the Roman Empire that created Byzantium in the East and what would eventually become Europe in the West and explain the impact of this political, religious, and social split on the art produced in these regions in this era. Provide specific examples of particular works of art or architecture to illustrate your points. Second, trace the subsequent development of art in the East and the West from the Early through the High and Late Middle Ages by citing specific works of art or architecture and describing characteristic features these works exemplify. Be sure to include the each of the following terms in your discussion:

animal style
Carolingian
Romanesque
Gothic
Deadlines:
Thursday evening: Initial response
Saturday evening: Respond to two peers (100+ words per follow-up post)

Preparation

Reflect on what you have read about RPZ Marketing. Think about what you see as the company’s current strengths and opportunities, as well as its potential weaknesses and threats. Choose an aspect of the business that interests you enough to study it further. Make some initial notes about how you might state a specific problem currently facing RPZ. Here is an example of the kind of thinking you might pursue:

I have always been interested in the ways in which leaders guide their organizations through times of change. From reading the RPZ scenarios, it appears that this company is in exactly that kind of situation, having acquired a company that immediately increases its size and reach. On the other hand, it is a situation that could lead to internal conflicts, and could be very difficult to manage. What are the most important things that a leader needs to pay attention to in a situation like this? That’s what I’d like to find out more about.

Work through the “Defining Your Topic” section of the Library Research and Information Literacy Skills resources in iGuide. Try both the mind-mapping approach, and the search approach for defining your topic.

Sample Topic Areas

Topics to consider might include the following:
•The importance of strategic planning for acquisitions.
•Deciding to acquire a company or compete with it.
•The decision to supplement consulting staff by outsourcing.
•The viability of training to development additional consulting resources.

Instructions

Select a topic area that interests you, either one of those listed or your own idea. Begin your assignment by providing your answers to the following questions:
1.How would you describe your area of greatest interest in the RPZ case? •Sample response: I would like to know what works—what makes leaders successful in situations like this.

2.What ideas, factors, or issues do you believe are most closely related to this area of interest? •Sample response: I think there are a lot of factors that leaders have to be concerned about, including how to structure the merged company, who should be in charge of what, how to keep people productive, and how to keep the company on track during the change.

3.What are you assuming is true about this situation? •Sample response: First, I’m assuming that it can be done—that some companies really do succeed at this. Second, I’m assuming that there are things that leaders can do in this situation that are more likely to result in success. I’m also assuming that others have been through this successfully, and some have written about the experience.

4.What do you think is the major aspect of this area of interest that would be worth exploring? •Sample response: I am guessing that certain decisions have to be made about people and the structure of the organization, that some kind of process should be followed, and that plans will be needed. What interests me most is how to best make those decisions about people and structure.

Compose a specific, business-related statement that you think can be argued for or against, and that will be used to guide the research.

Sample statement:

One way that organizations can continue to grow is to acquire other organizations. Even when an acquisition seems to make sense, though, putting the companies together is not an easy task, and can lead to disruptive times for both the acquirer and the acquired. Leaders of the acquiring organization have a critical role in guiding that process. The starting point for success, therefore, is the initial decisions that leaders make about people and structure.

Structure your assignment by posing each of the four questions above, followed by your response to each. Conclude by providing the statement that will guide your research.

**I hate attached RPZ Marketing background**

Based on your reading in Chapters 1-5 in Getlein’s Living with Art, respond to the TWO questions below, and then comment on two other students posts. One main post and one response post are due Thursday, and one main post and one response post are due Sunday. Your responses should be “mini-essays” ranging from 175-300 words per question. You then respond to two of your peers posts, adding to the discussion. Provide critical thought, supporting your ideas with additional examples of art (not covered in the sections we have read), scholarly quotes or new research.

In responding to the questions for each discussion board, you are expected to select specific examples of art works from the text book to illustrate and support your points—these supporting examples of art works should be different from those that the author of the course text uses when discussing similar themes or issues. Include the artist, title and page number of the each work of art you use. You may also find images of art works on the internet. If you do so, include the link and source information.

Comment on at least two of your peers’ posts (one for each main post/disucssion board); please remember to indicate to whom or to which post your peer comments are directed. Comments should be substantive, with supported critical analysis. Supported means offering specific examples of art or quotes, or historic information to support your ideas.

Try looking in other chapters of the course text, even those that are not assigned; you will find a wealth of images throughout the book. It should be part of your learning experience in this course to learn to LOOK at works of art and to see not only what the experts see, but also to experience a work of art for yourself and to discover what you find there.

Two Power Points will assist you in preparing your Discussion Board responses: “How to Write a Comparison”, in the main menu, and “How to Look at Art” in the INTERACTIVES in Unit 2.

Also, remember that if you copy or paraphrase word or ideas from the text or other sources, make sure that you follow appropriate procedures for crediting those sources. Put any quoted text in quotation marks “” and follow it with the source in parenthesis (). Citing incorrectly will reduce your grade and may be considered plagiarism. You must cite your sources in MLA format at the end of each response. Review announcements on how to cite correctly.

Finally, please note that responses that merely report back information from the text, or that do little more than repeat other students’ posts, or that quote extensively, will not receive high marks. Originality and critical thought are the goals here.

Part I: Imagine that you are in a debate with someone who asserts that, just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, art is whatever the spectator thinks it is; there are no rules, no criteria, no universal boundaries delineating what is and what is not art, who is and who is not an artist. If something expresses or creates an aesthetic or emotional response, it is art. You must take the other side of the debate: How would you respond to and rebut the view that art is whatever the spectator thinks it is? In the first chapter of Living with Art, Getlein lists six roles that artists fulfill; these may help you in coming up with your response. Come up with points and specific examples of art works to support of the other side of the debate, which is that not just anything can be art, not just anyone can be an artist: There are established and justifiable criteria to confer that status upon objects and individuals.

Part II: In Chapter 5, Getlein covers the principles of design. For each term listed, identify an art work art included in the text, Living with Art, but NOT mentioned in either Chapter 4 or Chapter 5, that illustrates the principle in question and explain why you chose it (Note: in some cases you will find both the contrasting principles in the same work, (i.e. a painting that has both emphasis and subordination). You will have a minimum of 5 art works selected, maximum of 9. A required part of this question is to explain why you chose each work. Make sure we can “see” what you are seeing. Please include both the page number and illustration number in your response.)

unity and variety (describe an example of both terms here, either in the same work or in 2 different works)
symmetrical and asymmetrical balance (describe an example of both terms here, either in the same work or in 2 different works)
emphasis and subordination (describe an example of both terms here, either in the same work or in 2 different works)
scale and proportion (describe an example of both terms here, either in the same work or in 2 different works)
rhythm
Deadlines:
Thursday evening: Initial response
Saturday evening: Respond to two peers (100+ words per follow-up post)

REVISION!!!!

The only documentation that I need in this results portion is labeled SPSS word…everything else is a guideline of how it should be worded It will be the upload labeled SPSS word
This is just a guideline of how it should be done the actual data is in the file SPSS word….
I have provided all the data all I need you to do is put in on paper. there were 10 questions used a 2 way anova was used for the testing I just need all the stats written, It is strictly the results portion you would find in a research paper. 2×2 factorial design.
When reporting non-significant results, the p-value is generally reported as the a posteriori probability of the
test-statistic. For example: t(28) = 1.10, SEM = 28.95, p = .268.1….Reporting an omnibus oneway ANOVA, with post-hoc tests:
The analysis of variances showed that the effect of group significantly influenced anxiety, F(2, 57) =
5.00, MSE = 100.25, p = .009. Post hoc analyses were conducted using Tukey’s post-hoc test. Based on a
Tukey’s value of CD = 2.50, the anxiety in the drug group (M = 5.25, SD = 1.80) was significantly less than in
the placebo group (M = 8.35, SD = 2.68) and the control group (M = 8.10, SD = 1.69). The anxiety in the
placebo group and the drug group did not differ significantly. example of 2 way anova results Test completion times, in minutes, were submitted to a two-way ANOVA with two levels of room noise
(noisy, quiet) and two levels of room temperature (hot, cold). The main effect of room noise was significant,
F(1, 39) = 12.65, MSE = 101.55, p = .001, suggesting that the test completion time in the noisy group (M =
3.55, SD = 1.20) was greater than the quiet group (M = 2.78, SD = 0.92). The main effect of room temperature
was significant, F(1, 39) = 5.85, MSE = 101.55, p = .02, suggesting that the test completion time in the cold
group (M = 4.04, SD = 1.25) was greater than the hot group (M = 3.58, SD = 0.99). The interaction was not
significant, F(1, 39) = 1.12, MSE = 101.55, p = .296.
Reporting results of major tests in factorial ANOVA; non-significant interaction:
Attitude change scores were subjected to a two-way analysis of variance having two levels of message
discrepancy (small, large) and two levels of source expertise (high, low). All effects were statistically significant
at the .05 significance level.
The main effect of message discrepancy yielded an F ratio of F(1, 24) = 44.4, p < .001, indicating that the mean change score was significantly greater for large-discrepancy messages (M = 4.78, SD = 1.99) than for smalldiscrepancy messages (M = 2.17, SD = 1.25). The main effect of source expertise yielded an F ratio of F(1, 24) = 25.4, p < .01, indicating that the mean change score was significantly higher in the high-expertise message source (M = 5.49, SD = 2.25) than in the low-expertise message source (M = 0.88, SD = 1.21). The interaction effect was non-significant, F(1, 24) = 1.22, p > .05

here is exactly what I need done for each of the 10 different tests…..
once again this is only an example of what is expected as there was no significant main affect for any of these questions in my research paper

ANOVAs (both one-way and two-way) are reported like the t test, but there are two degrees-of-freedom numbers to report. First report the between-groups degrees of freedom, then report the within-groups degrees of freedom (separated by a comma). After that report the F statistic (rounded off to two decimal places) and the significance level.

There was a significant main effect for treatment, F(1, 145) = 5.43, p = .02, and a significant interaction, F(2, 145) = 3.24, p = .04.

Your instructor is going to be taking the role of a Community Developer and requires your assistance in
conducting researching the groundwork in order to conduct a Life Safety Analyses of various buildings.
1. Conduct research about your occupancy, its occupants, and the egress (or life safety) of those
occupants. Provide a detailed analysis of the following: (Use Chapter 6 of the text to provide direction)
a. Discuss some of the features of NFPA 101 that make it unique, such as discussing the
classification of hazard of contents; construction requirements; protection from
hazards, detection, alarm, and notification; drills and extinguisher training; building
services, etc (other than listed in Ch. 7-10)
b. Occupant characterization – use as a guide the information from Chapter 6 of the text
and NFPA 101: 5.4.5 (with appendix)
c. Occupant reaction and response in emergency situations
d. Occupant risk factors
2. Research a fire of significance that occurred within your occupancy that you can use as a case study
a. Provide a summary of the fire of significance (its cause, reasons for occupant injuries and
fatalities)
b. Write about the fire of significance as it relates contextually to the time period. Identify some
factors that may have led to the fire (and spread) and/or the occupant fatalities.
c. What improvements have been made to prevent loss of life?
3. Develop at least two fire scenarios (as discussed in Chapter 5 of NFPA 101: Ch. 5). You will be
developing a plausible, hypothetical scenario located somewhere in your occupancy. One scenario
should be a Typical or common scenario and the other one should be a high-challenge scenario.
Included in the scenarios should be the following:
a. Ignition factors – source of ignition, material first ignited (and where it ignited for solids)
b. The maximum heat release rate for the material first ignited.
c. Occupant location in relation to the fire first ignited
4. Egress Calculations
a. Discuss what the how you would apply Fruin’s Level of Service to your occupancy (if applicable)
b. Discuss the things that would contribute to time from notification until occupants decide to take
action and time from decision to take action until evacuation commences (pre-evacuation
activity time.
UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN

The HRM function is quite complex with multiple legal, relational, technological, and environmental factors to navigate.Select any one of the following starter bullet point sections. Review the important themes within the sub questions of each bullet point. The sub questions are designed to get you thinking about some of the important issues. Your response should provide a succinct synthesis of the key themes in a way that articulates a clear point, position, or conclusion supported by research. Select a different bullet point section than what your classmates have already posted so that we can engage several discussions on relevant topics. If all of the bullet points have been addressed, then you may begin to re-use the bullet points with the expectation that varied responses continue. Many would acknowledge that at one time unions were good for workers and the country as unions were able to help workers obtain safer and healthier working conditions, higher pay, and a variety of legal protections. However, others argue that they have outlived their usefulness and contribute to lower competitiveness and a decline in the value of merit (with the union emphasis on seniority). Evaluate the pros and cons of unions, including your assessment of whether unions have outlived their usefulness or still have an important role.
With the high cost of strikes to both management and unions, there is increasing use of third-party conflict resolution processes to resolve an impasse. The two primary processes are mediation and arbitration.
Analyze the difference between mediation and arbitration. From the perspective of each party in the impasse, assess the benefits and disadvantages of each of these third-party conflict resolution methods and under what conditions one would be preferred.
Evaluate the situational variables (for example, the issue at impasse, the consequences of not resolving the impasse, grievance vs. strike threat, the state of the relationship between the two parties, and legislation such as Railway Labor Act and National Labor Relations Act) that might influence selection of method to resolve an impasse.
Employees’ rights to privacy are being brought to question on many fronts—just what is your right to privacy at your place of employment? Does your employer have a right to read your personal e-mail? To place surveillance cameras in the restroom? To track the sites that you visit? Monitor your phone calls?
Evaluate the employer’s interest in monitoring employees, including the rights that employers have.
Assess the rights to privacy and protection from monitoring that employees should have.
Justify a brief communication plan for policies and procedures pertaining to monitoring.
Ulrich (2012) identified four waves of HR development. In the first wave, HR was primarily an administrative activity. In the second wave, HR continued to have an administrative dimension, but also began to focus on innovative activities pertaining to sourcing, rewards, communication, and other practices. In the third wave, HR continued administration and innovative activities, but also added the strategic element by integrating HR practices with business purpose. Because of globalization, economic turmoil, technological advances, and other change factors, Ulrich anticipates a fourth wave of HR that he describes as outside in. In essence, HR must integrate with external conditions and stakeholders to build successful HRM. Evaluate Ulrich’s perspective on the fourth wave of HR. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the idea?
Ulrich (2012) proposed six key competencies for HR professionals, including (a) credible activist, (b) strategic positioner, (c) capability builder, (d) change champion, (e) HR innovator and integrator, and (f) technology proponent. Conduct research into the six competencies and assess which of the six roles is most important for an HR professional to master.Ulrich, D. (2012).
