sonny’s blues by james baldwin

This paper will allow you to investigate a single author?s work, or a pair of authors? works, in greater depth. You may do this on any of the authors we have already or will read this semester. For authors we have not read, you will need to clear your topic with me first. This paper should be 1,250 words at a minimum, but no longer than 1,800 words. Your paper could focus on the themes, tropes, or use of symbolism or imagery, use of point-of-view, foreshadowing, or characterization in a primary text or texts (short stories or novels). It would probably be easier to limit yourself to material in the course anthology, but you may, with instructor approval, explore a primary source outside course readings. After selecting your subject matter, begin researching by using the Library?s literature-oriented databases. You will need to find at least three (3) sources of scholarly literary criticism that support your assertion. You must integrate these secondary sources into your analysis of your primary source(s). Informative and narrative research papers are unacceptable. What You Should Do Make sure to review the grading rubric (see the attached PDF). Make sure that write about all texts using what is termed the ?literary present tense.? Do not use either the first or second person voice in academic writing unless it occurs within a direct quotation. Only the titles of longer works (books, films, TV series, journals, albums, etc.) should be italicized. Underlining is no longer used. Bold font is not required. Your essay’s title (for this class, never title your essay after the assignment itself) needs no special formatting unless it contains the title of another work, which should then be formatted per MLA guidelines, e.g.: A Fifty Year Vintage in Poe?s ?The Cask of Amontillado? Reconsidering ?A Rose for Emily?: the Camouflage of Antebellum Ideals. Make sure all papers have an introduction that makes a debatable claim or proposal (your thesis statement), a set of body paragraphs (with each having a single focus), and a conclusion that brings closure to your paper?s interpretative claims. Make sure that your paper has the proper header?your last name and the page number?in the header field, not the body, and which uses the same font as the rest of the paper. Make sure that your paper has the proper heading: this material begins on the very first line of the page, flush with the left margin, and includes the following: Your Name My Name ENGL 2010-N01 28 July 2016 Note that the date is recorded in the European format, Day Month Year, and that all months except May, June, and July are abbreviated. Also, there should be no extra spacing between the heading and the title; just hit ?enter? and type the title, which must be centered. Double-space all work. Document all borrowed passages, claims, or ideas?whether quotation, paraphrase, or summary?each time using parenthetical citations that point to specific works cited entries. What You Should Not Do A full biography of the author. Any biographical section you include should be the shortest part of the paper, and it should strive to connect events from his or her life to his or her art. A summary of the story, stories, or novel?that is, don?t provide a ?book report.? Excessive copied passages/block quotes. Quote sparingly. Paraphrase or summarize instead, and always, however you do it, cite your sources in the essay itself using parenthetical citations that clearly correspond with a works cited entry. A paper consisting of facts that are neither discussed nor analyzed. A paper that discusses the events of a historical period that does not tie these events to the novel. Style Sheet for Research Papers Each paper must be at least 1,250 words long, typed, double-spaced, with one-inch margins. Use a 12-point font and a standard (readable) font type (i.e., Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial). Be sure to include a title of your own, at the top middle of the first page of your essay. This should not simply repeat your topic. No separate title page is required. See the MLA 2009 sample essay and the sample research paper, both located under ?Content? on NS Online for examples of proper formatting. You must submit your paper as either a Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) or Rich Text Format (.rtf) file via the drop box under Assignments. Because I use Turnitin.com to screen all papers for plagiarism before grading them. Failure to provide an electronic version of the paper will result in that assignment not being graded. No late research projects will be accepted, except in the case of extraordinary and documented circumstances. Failure to follow any of the guidelines will result in a significant point reduction. Quoting and Documenting Requirements: You need to use quoted material from the story or stories that you refer to in order to support and illustrate your exploration of this phenomenon. You also need to use at least three (3) quality outside sources of scholarly literary criticism. I want you to use the databases provided by the school?s Library, but I am also open to scholarly sources of literary criticism you find in other databases. Sources like Spark Notes, eNotes, Book Rags, Wikipedia, ipl.org, or random (non-professional; non-scholarly) blogs or other such study guides will not meet the requirements for your paper’s outside sources. Also, book reviews and author/work overviews will not count toward the required number of sources. Use of such sources instead of scholarly literary criticism will prevent your paper from being graded, which is the same as earning a zero. The quotes, paraphrases, and summaries must be properly documented within the text and on a Works Cited page using correct current MLA documentation style.

STEVER JOBS self-assessment

MBA 550 Final Project Part II Guidelines and Rubric Final Project Part II Overview MBA 550 has two final projects: Final Project Part I: Self-Assessment Investigation, due in Module Three, and Final Project Part II: Leadership Assessment, due in Module Nine. The course has a milestone assignment in each of the following modules: Two, Four, Five, and Seven. You will select a corporate or organizational leader who could be a personal role model. The professional self-assessment taken during the course will be the lens through which you will select this leader. You will research the leader?s professional career track, management and leadership styles, team-building skills, organizational vision and culture, and problemsolving and conflict-management abilities. You will then compare aspects of your own leadership style to the leadership style of the person you selected. In the milestone research and writing process leading to Final Project Part II: Leadership Assessment, you completed a thorough analysis of your leadership traits through the StrengthsFinder results and compared these results with the cognitive factors associated with leadership effectiveness. You explained how leadership strengths and traits contributed to the effectiveness of an organization. You also evaluated teams and organizational structure in the actions of your chosen leader with his or her organization and executive team, and evaluated best practices with teams used by the leader. You reviewed your chosen leader?s organizational vision and how your leader developed the organization?s strategic plan, and methods not employed by the leader in the planning process. You analyzed evidence of your leader?s personal, political, and positional power, assessing how the leader used that power to structure the organization, thus creating culture. You reviewed your own knowledge, skills, and abilities related to problem-solving and your chosen leader?s problem-solving abilities. You evaluated methods and strategies used by the leader and explained which tools, methods, and strategies you would use/emulate and which you would avoid. You reviewed your own conflict management and negotiation skills and analyzed your leader?s skills related to conflict management and negotiation. You analyzed which of techniques of the chosen leader you would use/emulate and how they would help you. In Final Project Part II, you will finalize and submit a paper or presentation comprises all the milestone submissions with edits based on instructor feedback, and develop a conclusion of your findings. You will base the conclusion on the results of your self-assessment and your research on your selected leader. You will address how you may continue to improve and build upon your leadership skills and areas for development. Refer to the Final Project Part II Rubric (below) for submission guidelines. Final Project Part II: Leadership Assessment addresses the following course outcomes: ? Analyze results of professional self-assessment tools for informing personal appreciation of leadership skills and areas of professional development ? Evaluate best practices for planning and staffing in intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship environments for organizing teams by functions ?

Did the leader consider specific skill sets, functions, or roles in the organization of the executive team? C. Evaluate the best practices used by the leader to structure the organization and develop the executive team. Consider questions such as these in your evaluation: How did these best practices develop and improve the organization? How did the best practices influence the organization?s culture and retain top talent? II. Organizational Vision A. How did the leader develop the strategic plan for the organization? Was it written by the leader, a team, or a consultant, for example? B. What was the leader?s organizational vision? What strategies did the leader use to motivate individuals and teams to align with the vision? C. Recommend strategic planning methods not employed by the leader that could be used to motivate individuals and teams to align with the vision. Why would these methods be effective? In other words, what alternative strategic planning methods could the leader have used, and why? III. Organizational Culture A. Analyze the evidence of personal, political, and positional power in the leadership style and background of your selected leader. B. Assess how the leader structured organizational culture using personal, political, and positional power. Consider questions such as these in your response: How did the leader involve employees in the organizational culture? Was there a focus on employee engagement to retain top talent? C. How did the leader?s use of power as a tool effect change in the organization? IV. Problem-Solving A. Based on the results of your professional self-assessment, what skills, abilities, and knowledge related to problem-solving and decision-making do you possess? B. Analyze the leader?s problem-solving and decision-making skills and abilities. Support your analysis with the tools, methods, or strategies he or she used to solve problems and make decisions. C. What tools, methods, or strategies for problem-solving and decision-making does your leader use that you want to emulate?

Motion Picture Industry

Order Description

The motion picture industry is a competitive business. More than 50 studios produce a total of 300 to 400 new motion pictures each year, and the financial success of each motion picture varies considerably. Gross sales for the opening weekend, the total gross sales, the number of theaters the movie was shown in, and the number of weeks the motion picture was open are common variables used to measure the success of a motion picture. Data collected for a sample of 100 motion pictures produced in 20XX are contained in the file named Movies, linked at the bottom of the page. Use all 100 data points.

Two articles testing

Order Description

Chose Two articles testing strain theory OR two articles testing learning theory
This paper assignments are designed to teach you how to accurately identify, locate, read, analyze, and evaluate contemporary, scholarly criminal justice research articles, in order to stay abreast of new developments in the field. In Paper 1, you learned how to identify articles that are considered high quality by the academic community based on their peer review status. In Paper 2, you learned to critically evaluate the substance of a scholarly criminal justice article.

This Assignment is designed to teach you how to synthesize and compare material from multiple articles. You will read and evaluate two articles from the same theoretical tradition to compare and contrast their arguments and to synthesize their contributions to the field.

Follow the steps below to identify and evaluate two contemporary criminal justice research articles, empirically testing one of the theories covered in this course. Write a 5?6 page paper synthesizing and comparing the arguments of those articles and discussing how they contribute to the selected theoretical tradition.

Part 1: Using the CL

Search the College Library (CL) for two contemporary, empirical criminal justice research articles testing the same criminological theory; for instance, two articles testing strain theory OR two articles testing learning theory. One of the articles can be from the course syllabus or from the previous paper assignments, but the second article must be new. You can also choose to find two new articles for this assignment.

You should find articles from the year 2000 or later from the Library. Make sure the articles are peer-reviewed and high quality.

Part 2: Reading the articles

Repeat the steps that you used for Paper 2 and thoroughly read both research articles.

Part 3: Writing a Draft

Draft a 5?6 page paper that answers the following questions:
? What theory do both papers test? Describe the theory in your own words to demonstrate your thorough understanding of it.
? Compare and contrast the two empirical studies. What parts of the theory do they test? To what extent are their findings complementary or contradictory?
It is important that you actively compare and contrast the papers, rather than simply summarizing each one separately.
? Synthesize the main findings of both papers and discuss how they contribute to the advancement of the theory.
Part 4: Revising and Writing the Final Paper

Revise your draft into a final paper that is thorough, accurate, well organized, and interesting to read. Proofread your work carefully for spelling and grammar mistakes. Seek help with your writing before the paper deadline.
Writing quality is an important part of all graded assignments. In addition to using proper spelling and grammar, the words you choose and the tone of your writing should be the same as you would use in a business environment. You should use sophisticated vocabulary and avoid “text-speak” at all costs. You should also maintain a professional tone and avoid phrases that are too casual or colloquial for the business world.

When you cite use page numbers as well. Two references

Going to a wireless network-Report

Order Description

PLEASE FOLLOW GUIDELINES

Your last writing assignment will be a report to a decision-maker on a problem and solution
in an organization or community.

In the report, you will do the following:
? define the problem persuasively and accurately
? propose a solution or solutions to the problem or issue
? present that solution to a decision-maker or group of decision-makers who can implement
the recommendation.
The report will include the following components:
? executive summary
? transmittal letter or memo to the decision-maker
? table of contents
? introduction
? body of the report to include headings and subheadings
? conclusion stated as a recommendation for implementation of the solution
? References page, with references listed in APA format

o Instructions on how to list an interview in APA format can be seen at the
following url: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/11/

The complete report should be 2200-3000 words, not including the list of references.
The complete report should also cite at least seven sources. At least three of them should
come from peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. As noted above, your sources can also include
interviews.

The sources will be integrated into the paper to explain the problem, provide
evidence of the problem, and support the solution.
You might have taken WRTG 393 at UMUC. In WRTG 393, the final paper is a white paper.

This assignment is different from the white paper in WRTG 393. In this paper for WRTG 394,
you are writing to a specific decision-maker about a specific problem in your workplace or
community. The audience is much more focused than that for the white paper in WRTG 393.
Defining the Specific Problem

In preparing to write this assignment, please be aware of the following cautions in fulfilling the
assignment instructions:
? If you write a report to your manager at work suggesting that more teleworking options
be given to employees at your workplace, you cannot simply prepare a report on
teleworking. You must show that teleworking will solve a specific problem or problems
in your organization.
? If you are proposing that email be used less frequently for communication at your
workplace and that another application be used to improve communication, you cannot
simply write a report on the problem with having too much email.

You must show that
the use of email at your current workplace presents problems and that the use of another
means of communication would solve the problem.
? If you write a report to your manager at work suggesting that your office become
paperless, you cannot simply prepare a report on the benefits of a paperless office. You
must show that your specific office can go paperless and indicate the benefits of your
specific office going paperless.
? If you write a report to the board of directors at your townhouse community to argue that
the playground area in your community should be renovated, you cannot simply prepare a
report on the benefits of a playground for a neighborhood. You must show that your
specific neighborhood will benefit from renovations in its playground.
? If you write a report to the manager of your unit at work noting that recycling facilities in
the workplace should be improved, you cannot simply prepare a report on the benefits of
recycling or of good recycling facilities in offices. You must show that your specific
work environment lacks adequate recycling facilities and show how it will benefit from
improved recycling facilities.

A Reminder about the Role of Primary Research in Supporting the Argument
For your report, you will very likely find it beneficial to conduct some primary research. Please
refer to the material from Markel and from Bovee and Thill for strategies in conducting and
including primary research.

For writing assignment #3, you gathered some primary research. For writing assignment #4, you
want to fill in any gaps needed by conducting additional primary research if necessary. Some
suggestions for primary research were given in the instructions for writing assignment #3.

They are as follows:
? For a report on teleworking, you might conduct interviews with fellow workers on the
topic to see how and why they might benefit from teleworking.
? If you are proposing that email be used less frequently for communication and that
another application be used to improve communication, you might interview fellow
employees on the situation, and you might take screen captures of alternative
communication tools to illustrate how they work and would improve communication in
your office.
? For a report on transitioning to a paperless office, you might take pictures of your office
environment showing the clutter or unsafe environment that hard-copy files create.
? For a report on building a playground area in the community, you might take pictures of
the community area to show where such a playground could be built, and you might
interview residents who have children.
? For a report on recycling facilities, you might take pictures of the office environment to
show that current recycling facilities are inadequate, and you might interview fellow
workers about whether they find it easy to recycle materials at your office.

Please note that, if you interview people for your research, you must cite the interviews in your
paper. In the paper, you cannot simply write that you ?spoke with employees.? A url on how to
cite an interview in APA citation style is provided in the list of components for the report.

Length of your paper:
Your report should be 2400-3500 words in length. Again, you are required to use at least seven
sources, with at least three of them being acquired through UMUC Library OneSearch.

Graphics:
Your report might benefit from graphics. As mentioned above, pictures of your workplace or
community situation might help illustrate the problem you are trying to address. Graphs, tables,
or charts might help show trends that will persuade your decision-maker that the problem exists.

Please do not incorporate a graphic for the sake of incorporating a graphic. Include a graphic
only if it helps communicate a message in your report.

Due Date:
Your instructor will notify you of the due date. You will write a first draft, your instructor will
comment on the first draft, and you will submit a second draft using the comments as your guide.
Strategies to Consider for this Assignment:
? Victoria University of Wellington has a thorough outline and review of the components
of this type of business report.
? Queen Margaret University has an excellent guide for this type of report.
? Murdoch University has an excellent guide for this type of report.
? Colorado State University presents excellent tips in organizing the report.
Topics to Help You Come Up with Ideas on this
Assignment:

Some possible workplace research topics are the following. These are examples to help you get
started. Please contact your instructor to have other topic ideas approved.

The Cultivation of Racial Stereotypes

Order Description

Intro statement:
The purpose if this case study is to determine the influence of the media in creating racial stereotypes. For this case study at least five journal articles will be reviewed to understand to what degree the media can create racial stereotypes in the eye of the public. How the portrayal of minorities on primetime television contributes to these stereotypes and how the news media depicts minorities further solidifying these stereotypes. In addition we will review how the news media racializes different crimes and events.

1. Introduction: Describes overall purpose of paper (includes description of case for background/context; briefly previews type of media content that will be analyzed and theoretical/scholarly literature that will be used; makes argument for why that area of scholarly literature is best suited to understanding the case).

2. Literature Review: Summary of theoretical/scholarly literature reviewed for the case (at least 10 sources cited).

3. Method: Identifies media content analyzed; provides rationale for media content selected; describes how media content was collected; briefly identifies qualitative content analysis as the method of data analysis.

4. Results: Qualitative analysis of media content that is clearly guided by the theoretical framework/scholarly literature reviewed for the case (e.g., if you reviewed crisis communication theories/principles, you should be analyzing your data to report if and how those principles were used; if you reviewed framing theory, you should be looking for types of frames used, etc.). Findings from analyzed media texts are written in a narrative/thematic/descriptive format with example quotes interspersed to serve as evidence.

5. Discussion: Provides comparisons/contrasts to previous literature AND practical lessons learned and/or recommendations you have for how the individuals and/or organizations involved could have used media more strategically to realize more favorable outcomes.
