Question

Using the?Argument Research Essay Proposal?that you developed, you will write three paragraphs of your essay–introduction, body, and conclusion.  

Your document will include the following items:? 

Begin by creating an APA formatted title page for this assignment as seen in the Sample Argument Research Essay.   

Using the sample, create an introduction paragraph,?with an?attention-grabber, background information, and thesis statement based on the stance written in the proposal. 

  1. Write one full body paragraph with at least one resource. Begin with a transition and topic sentence. Your paragraph content will vary based on where it will go in your essay. You might begin with additional background information if needed or develop one point to prove your thesis. You might write one of your opposition and rebuttal body paragraphs. Again, the structure of your essay and topic will guide your body paragraphs’ content. Also, look at the first body paragraph in the Sample Argument Research Essay to help.  
  2. Compose your?conclusion paragraph. It should offer an overview of the essay’s thesis without repeating it, followed by an impactful look at how the topic and argument fit into a bigger context. 
  3. Include a Reference Page and proper APA citations. Create a properly formatted APA reference page including all scholarly resources used in the assignment. Provide in-text citations and parentheticals within the assignment to cite resource information. Again, use the Sample Argument Research Essay to understand the required formatting. Also, see the APA handbook for information on writing references and in-text citations properly.  

title deviance

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

Sociologists use the concept “relativity of deviance” to describe how acts of deviance can vary among groups, often within the same society. Thus, it is not the act itself, but rather how a group labels and responds to an act that determines if the act is deviant in society. Consider the recent policy from the National Football League (NFL) regarding players standing for the national anthem.

NFL owners have unanimously approved a new national anthem policy that requires players to stand if they are on the field during the performance but gives them the option to remain in the locker room if they prefer. (The policy is currently on hold as of July 2018).

The policy subjects teams to a fine if a player or any other team personnel do not show respect for the anthem. That includes any attempt to sit or kneel, as dozens of players have done during the past two seasons to protest racial inequality and police brutality. Those teams also will have the option to fine any team personnel, including players, for the infraction.

This discussion will require you to apply three sociological concepts and/or theories related to deviance to analyze the existing tension regarding the National Anthem during NFL games. How can the policy be viewed as “deviant” from multiple sides of this discussion. Consider the perspective of the thirty-two team owners, the players and the fans who purchase tickets to the game and subscribe to football packages each season.

QUESTION

Write a topic proposal for your final Research Project to Blackboard about THE BURIED GIANT, including a list of 6 scholarly sources (i.e., peer-reviewed academic articles or book chapters) that you are considering using in your project. Please note:

The topic proposal is just a paragraph explaining what topic–directly related to one (or more) of “THE BURIED GIANT” by Kazuo Ishiguro. The topic proposal should simply explain: what topic and text you are interested in, why you are interested in it, which kind of project you plan to pursue (creative or research paper), and what steps you plan to take as you develop this germ of an idea into the full research project in April.

Please note that all of your sources should be scholarly / peer-reviewed sources. Sources that are not scholarly will receive a 0 for that part of the assignment.

Please note that the list of scholarly sources should include the full MLA bibliographic info for the source, not just a broken link. If you do not include the full bibliographic info for the source, the topic proposal will get a 0 for that part of the assignment.

  • Grading for the topic proposal: up to 10 points for a good Topic Proposal paragraph, and 5 points per scholarly source formatted in MLA. (40 participation/homework points total, so if you are trying to bump up your grade in the class, this is an excellent opportunity to do so, provided that you do a good job.).

QUESTION

Part of your role as an educator will be to work alongside colleagues to assess resources and to determine whether these resources deepen educators’ understandings of cultural, ethnic, gender, and learning differences, build stronger relationships, and create more relevant learning experiences for students.

Imagine that your principal has come to you and stated that the district is interested in hosting a professional development workshop for educators to help them broaden their cultural competence, improve family-teacher relationships, and enhance educational experiences for all students. The district proposes using the information from “The Angry Eye” for the workshop. If you argue that “The Angry Eye” should not be used, provide a reputable alternative for your principal to consider.

Create a 6-8 slide digital presentation for the professional development workshop including either “The Angry Eye” or another reputable alternative.

Include the following:

Explanation of “The Angry Eye” or the reputable alternative video, and its main claims.

Explanation of how the information presented in “The Angry Eye” or the alternative video could be used to help teachers broaden their cultural competence, build stronger relationships, and create more relevant educational experiences.

Explanation of key terminology, including privilege, power, difference, and oppression.

Question

IT 423 Module Three Activity RDS and Manipulating Data  

Overview

While a non-relational database (NoSQL database) contains semi-structured and unstructured data, a relational database (that exclusively uses SQL for queries) contains structured data, and includes clear relationships between the components of the data. It includes relationships between the entities and attributes. In a relational database, tables are used to store the information.

AWS offers a relational database service that is hosted in the cloud: Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS). Since this database service is in the cloud, database instances are easy to scale and operate. In this activity, you will gain hands-on experience creating an RDS/MySQL instance. You will need to access the AWS Console through your AWS Academy student account.

Prompt

Imagine that you work for a small to medium-sized company and your manager wants to set up a relational cloud database system to analyze existing company data. To do this, follow this tutorial. After you set up the new RDS/MySQL instance, your manager requires MySQL Workbench to be configured and tested so that the database admins can begin to import the existing company data.

As you follow the tutorial, you should be completing the following:

  • MySQL: Connect your database to MySQL Workbench.
  • Tables: Create tables for Employees, Manager/Employee, Managers, and Customers.
  • Keys and Attributes: Include the appropriate attributes in the tables.
  • Data: Include the accurate test data identified in the tutorial.
  • Data Manipulation: Assign employees Jill Employ and John Emp to their manager, Jill Manager.

Revise, Annotate and Explain Sources

QUESTION

SKIM at a couple sources from Parts 2 and 3. EDIT and expand (=WRITE) your previous work, developing it into a more organized, clearly formatted Project 3 Plan with 3 sections:

1. Working thesis (not just one sentence; ~200 words) including a specific, persuasive claim about one or more parts of the Boeing plane crash events and what readers can, should, do to avoid such events in the present and future. Readers being regular citizens (or employees) — just not Boeing executives. (i.e. avoid “Boeing needs to…” statements without detailed focus on how individuals can make that happen.). NOTE: This #1 “working thesis” QUESTION resembles the 4th bolded question from Project 3 directions:

What should employees do in such a situation, and what should the general public do about such an issue (that affects most citizens).

Thus, students don’t have to answer this —^ completely right now (it’s just a plan document) but at least try to get some ideas down about it, to help the overall direction your essay may take next week, and to help your essay intro. and conclusion parts. 

2. Source 1 S-R — one source that stood out to you in particular, and why (from any of the 3 sections)

3. Source 2 S-R  —      ”       ”       ”       ”       ” 

I have attached the document as a pdf that has the sources from part 2 and 3 provided. Remember, only use the sources from part 2 and 3 for this assignment. 

implement partial row pivoting on a coefficient matrix during LU factorization

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

In this assignment you will implement partial row pivoting on a coefficient matrix during LU factorization. In notebook #21, we show an algorithm to transform a square coefficient matrix into upper triangular form U. Then we show a modified algorithm that transforms a square coefficient matrix into L+U+I form, where L is a canonical lower triangular matrix, U is the upper triangular form from the first algorithm, and I is the identity. Consider the coefficient matrix

�=[1030013−13−306024−6]

1. (20 points) Apply the initial upper triangular algorithm to this system. What issue do you observe? Demonstrate the problem in your notebook and explain the problem in a Markdown cell.

2. (20 points) Implement partial row pivoting in the upper triangular algorithm. The idea is to search all rows below the current row i in the row iteration to find the row j such that if rows i and j were swapped (exchanged), the swapped in row would have the largest diagonal element in absolute value.

3. (20 points) Implement partial row pivoting in the L+U+I form algorithm and save the indices of the rows that are pivoted in a data structure.

4. (20 points) Show A = LU. Note you need to first apply the same pivots to A.

5. (20 points) Use factors L and U to solve Ax = b for x where

�=[6043]

using the forward and backward substitution methods shown in notebook #21.
