Creativity, Madness, and Drugs
Begin this assignment by reading this article which raises the interesting question of whether we would have had great works of art and music without “madness”.
blogs.scientificamerican.com-Creativity Madness and Drugs.pdf (NOTE: if the link does not open I will also attach this document separately)

After reading the article, write a thoughtful reflection addressing one or more of the questions posed at the end of the article (e.g., Should artists and writers with bipolar disorder be treated with drugs even though this will diminish their creative drive and possible success as an artist?)

Your reflection should be a minimum of 1 page in length to receive full credit. If you would like to include an example of an artist you are particularly interested in, and how his/her work may have been influenced by their mental health issues, that would be a way to lengthen your reflection to the 1-page requirement.

English Essay
Rhetoric—Mimicking Great Writers

GENERAL TOPIC: RHETORIC—the art of persuasive writing.

This is the challenge: write a piece about something you are passionate about, do research on it, and then write it by emulating and mimicking Machiavelli’s style, structure, and other strategies used.

It is very important for using Word Choice, we should use exactly the same Mechiavelli’s word choice. Then write this paper as the same way Machiavelli did on his essay.

This essay should be four to six pages.

Please double-space, type, and use 12 pt font on all drafts. Also put name and class info on top left, title centered, and last name (first page) and pg number top right (every page). As always, this should include a Works Cited Page.

Essay Prompt :

I would like to see you choose author Niccolo Machiavelli and emulate his style, structure, and overall rhetoric used while developing your essay position.

For example, you may write a How To manual titled “Qualities of a College Student” and then, using research and Machiavelli’s style, tone, and structure, write a persuasive manual to help new students navigate successfully through college. You can write any How To you would like. Last semester, a student wrote a letter to her daughter and how to become a successful adult. She used some of Machiavelli’s actual suggestions and research about being a well-adjusted person (i.e. good coping strategies). I imagine the word “wise” will be used more than once!
This is just the beginning of ideas. Let’s come up with them together. Be creative, aware of vocabulary, word choice, and overall style, and push yourself beyond your own writing.

The very best writers use what we call “mentor texts” to extract strategies and use them in their own writing. Here, you will do the same, inhabiting the voice of a great thinker and writer.

Name
Class
The Student
On Using Other Students as Resources
The Student, therefore, must learn how to sway the trust of others and how to benefit off of other students amongst them, to reap off the intelligence of others to make one’s own college life easier. The Student must learn to cheat when necessary but most importantly to never be caught, if one cannot cheat without being caught, then one should never consider becoming a student in the first place. Cheating may conflict with the Student’s views of right and wrong, but the student must overcome this to become successful in school. Many of those amongst the student have cheated and have achieved their current status, cheating can and will one day be the difference between success and failure and the Student therefore, must realize this pivotal moment and use the opportunity to use another student’s work as their own.
On Studying and Taking Shortcuts
The Student must know how to study, but take shortcuts when necessary, no student should spend too much time on one subject. Therefore, too much time on a subject will take too much time away to work on other important areas. If the student feels lacking in a subject, it is recommended that the student seek help from other students and teachers, unless it is test day, then the student should cheat as they see fit. A student has no honor or shame, honor or shame will hold you back, a student only exists because it is necessary to have an education, no student enjoys being in school, a student must simply fake it until they make it. Spending too much time on a topic will burn the student out and cause more damage in the long run. Know when to set a subject or work aside, do not allow an assignment to cause stress or show weakness in yourself.
A Student’s Duty Concerning Sleeping Schedules
The Student must, and will develop a sleeping schedule that best benefits him/herself. Knowing when it time to rest will determine the success and the level of proficiency that the Student will operate at the next day. A strong Student will not allow themselves to fall asleep in class, the Student must appear to be the life of the class and gain the professor’s favor, only then will the Student find easy and accomplishment in the course. The Student, of course, if showered in work may find themselves in a time were a solid sleeping schedule cannot be maintained, these moments are titled as midterms and finals, it is essential that the student makes time for a sleeping schedule whether the schedule must be cut back upon it must remain consistent.
On Being the Professor’s Favorite
Beginning, therefore, with the first of the above-mentioned qualities is by far one of the most important skills that the Student must acquire is the ability to become the Professor’s favorite. It is often rumored that the Professor’s cannot have favorites, this is not true, as a Student has a favorite Professor a Professor will have a favorite student. The Student must become and maintain the favorite if the Student is to find ease in the course. The Student must be careful however, a favorite borders along the lines of the enemy, one wrong move or action will land the Student on the Professor’s bad side, a side which the Student will not be able to come back from. The Student, if finding himself on the Professor’s bad side must expect the unexpected, low grades and cold shoulders, and the worst sarcasm. If the Student finds themselves as the favorite, do not be surprised of you make enemies among your peers, jealousy is common amongst others.
Dealing with Fellow Students
How must the Student survive in an environment filled with other students who seek a common goal? Bite your teeth if you must, choose your words as if you were a friend, therefore you will may make acquaintances. The Student will encounter those that are disliked, whether the Student is jealous or simply dislikes the other it is more beneficially to avoid conflict. The Student therefore, has multiple options for dealing with those they do not agree with; one, the Student can ignore the other and continue on, two, the Student can make “friends” with this person a friendship that benefits oneself like a parasite does, do not be afraid to make “friends” even if they are being used to amplify the Student’s own personal gain. It should be noted that friends come and go, as do enemies, step on them if you must, assert your dominance as the Student. The majority of those around the Student will not be encountered once again after the semester, only make the exception for true friends.
On Colleges and Campuses
Since the Student will find themselves with many opportunities in life, the Student is advised to take what they can get when they can get it. Status will be valued by the Student, often this status is seen through the college that the Student attends. Those amongst the Student will overlook the intellectual qualities that the Student has, in favor for the College that they represent. Use caution, therefore, knowing the College that the Student w-ill attend in the future is a tactic that the Student should use to impress others. The Student must not be ashamed of where they are, instead the student should be proud of where they will go in the future.

Finance 408 Writing Assignment

Instructions:
Your grade on this writing assignment will be determined both by the content that you include, and by how well you communicate it. This means the material, as well as spelling and grammar, will be factored into your final grade. If you are concerned about your writing skills, there are resources all over campus to assist you.
This paper will be submitted via Canvas, and **MUST** have a title in the following format: “FIRST_LAST_408_PAPER” (where FIRST is your first name, and LAST is your last name…). Microsoft Word documents are preferred, but PDF files will also be accepted – no other submission types are acceptable.
Also, plagiarism of any kind will result in a grade of zero. All papers will be run through Penn State’s “turn it in” software to compare. Please create a bibliography of references you use to write this paper, and cite as needed. If the majority of the ideas/facts in a single paragraph come from one source, you need only cite it once at the end. If the ideas/facts come from two sources, cite both at the end, and so on. If you want to use an exact phrase from something you found online, please include a citation immediately, regardless of where in the test it is used. An example would look like this: “The company owns a 40% share in the South Natuna Sea Block B group of rigs.” Investopedia (2015)] , with the corresponding full citation in your bibliography.

Background:
Student debt is a major concern in the United States. There is currently $1.3 trillion outstanding in student debts, with the average recent graduate carrying a little over $37,000 in debt. More than 1.3 million students graduate each year with some level of student debt. Yet, despite the size and pervasiveness of this market, no long term fix has been implemented – though many different policy changes have been proposed.
In approximately 2000 words (no less than 1700, no more than 2300), please discuss *one* of the following topics (either #1 or #2, and the questions associated with them). Presumably you will do this by addressing all of the questions associated with the topic. However, if there is another aspect of student debt that is applicable to your discussion, you may include that as well.

STUDENT LOAN INTEREST RATES: A common complaint about student loans is that the interest rates on student loans are too high. But the vast majority of student debt outstanding ($1.2T of the $1.3T) are federal student loans, which means the interest rates are not set directly by market forces (though market forces surely play a role).
How are interest rates on federal student loans set? Who sets them?
How do they compare to privately issued student loan rates?
Why do you think this difference exists?
How do interest rates on federally issued student loans compare to average mortgage rates or APRs on car loans?
Are there differences? Are these differences large or small?
Do you think the differences should be larger or smaller, why?
What does it mean for someone to be in forbearance or deferment?
When would a person enter into these situations?
What does it mean for a borrower to be delinquent on a student loan? What about in default?
What are the delinquent rate and default rate on student loans? (If you can only find combined figures for these, that is acceptable.)
How do these compare to default rates for other consumer loans (mortgages/car loans)?
What’s different about student loans and mortgages in terms of the “good” that the loan is used to acquire? Does this play a role in student loan default rates?
We discussed information asymmetry in class. Please include a short discussion of how both adverse selection and moral hazard could play a role in why interest rates are so high. Specifically, why do these raise the risks of the loans, and why is it so difficult to eliminate the information asymmetries here?
Suggestions to think about if you’re stuck on Adverse selection: Think about what both government and private lenders know about students (not their parents) before loans are made? Are there any reliable signals of student quality available? Think about scholarships – both in terms of why they’re given and what they do to the amount the student needs to borrow – do these influence either federal or private loans? How do these things affect the overall pool of borrowers?
Suggestions to think about if you’re stuck on Moral Hazard: Do all institutions offer the same quality of education? All majors add value to society (though clearly Finance is the best, psssht!), but do all of them offer the same expected salaries? Are all jobs associated with different majors equal to each other? Can lenders control any of this?

REDUCING PAYMENTS: There are many different ways to reduce student loan payments: Income driven repayment plans, graduated payment plans, extended payment plans, consolidation, refinancing if your loans are private, help from employer, changing states, autopay, Upromise, etc.

Please describe the methods for reducing payments. Discuss the pros and cons of those listed above, as well as any other methods you identify for reducing loans.
One payment reduction method that is common for some types of loans is bankruptcy protection. Can student loans be discharged through bankruptcy?
Reducing payments is effectively a way to reduce the cost of borrowing for students, which in turn reduces the overall cost of an education. Another way to reduce the cost that has been suggested is to lower the interest rates on student loans. Think about and discuss how lowering the cost of education might affect the supply and demand of both education and financing for education.
If cost declines, will a larger or smaller number of students pursue higher education?
Based on your answer to i., how will the overall level of human capital change? Human capital is the knowledge and skills a person possesses.
Given this change in human capital, what is likely to happen to the overall level of innovation? What about the impact on jobs that require manual labor?
Based on your answer to i. and ii., what might this mean for salaries? Think about competition for wages, and how a larger/smaller number of people chasing specific jobs will impact wages. Will the effect be different for higher-skilled salaries and lower-skilled salaries?
Based on your answer to i. and ii. iii., is it possible to say what the overall impact on student debt outstanding will be? Why or why not? Things to consider: Cost of education is lower, there is an increase/decrease (depending on which you pick in i.) in the number of people pursuing this funding as a result, salaries are going to shift, competition for jobs will shift, etc.
How would lowering the cost of education affect delinquency/default rates on student loans? [Think about what lower interest rates or amount borrowed would mean for people’s ability to repay, but also consider your answer with respect to the impact on salaries.]

Final Case Study Project
Yoo et al. (2014) recently studied the impacts of a variety of factors influencing house prices in
Prescott, Arizona. Prescott metropolitan area in Central Arizona includes five recreational lakes
– Granite Basin Lake, Watson Lake, Willow Creek Reservoir, Lynx Lake and Upper Goldwater
Lake. The five lakes in the study area provide a range of benefits – recreational opportunity,
scenic beauty, clear water, etc – to the residents of Prescott, and hence easier access to those
lakes is expected to increase nearby residential property prices. Higher level of sedimentation in
the lake or rivers leads to physical disruption of water quality and creates high levels of turbidity
by limiting penetration of sunlight into the water column. Therefore, higher level of
sedimentation is expected to decrease nearby residential property values. Using a regression
model(s), you will investigate a variety of environmental, structural, and socio-economic factors
that affect residential property values using this dataset (Prescott_Parcel.xlsx).
Description of variables included in the dataset is shown below:
Variable Description
Price
Land_fcv
Age
Time
Pop_sqml
Gr_fl_ar
Patio_Floor
sedi_per_lake
Imp_fcv
Residential property sales in dollar (Year: 2003)
Land full cash value in dollar (reflection of the market value of your property and
consists of land and improvements)
The age of property
Traveling time to the nearest lake in minute
Number of population/mile2
in 2000 (measured on a Census tract level)
The area of ground floor (sq)
The ratio of patio area to total area (Total area=ground floor area+patio area)
Tons of sediment loads/lake acre in the nearest lake from each residential property
Improved full cash value
Provide a 10-page case study report that covers the following issues at the minimum:
– What are the research questions you want to investigate using this dataset?
– Based on a multiple linear regression model, which variables are significant, and which
variables are not? Did the signs of each variable come out as expected?
– What does the results from the linear regression model show about the economic value of
access to recreational lakes?
– Does water quality have a significant impact on house prices?
– Are structural variables statistically significant and their signs come out as expected?
– How would you explain the impact of population density on housing price?
– Based on the results, what would you suggest property developers, house buyers, or local
government decision makers should do to improve the environmental and economic
quality (welfare) of local community?
Make sure your case study report includes the following structures: (1) Introduction, (2) Data
Presentation, (3) Model Specification, (4) Interpretation of Results, (5) Integration of Biblical
Principle, and (6) Policy Recommendations & Conclusion.
1. Introduction – Paper must define the problem scope and outline the objectives of the
analysis in a clear, concise, and professional manner (1 page)
