YOF EM03 A1 – Guilford College Repair & Share Club 1.1

Project Description:
You have been asked to advise a new club on campus called the Repair and Share Club. Its purpose is to collect used desktop and laptop computers donated from area companies and refurbish them for members of their college community. The students in this club are responsible for collecting and rebuilding these computers to give back to students on campus. The goal is to collect at least 30 computers from each company. The dean requires a report of the club’s activities over the academic year in a spreadsheet format that tracks student involvement, company donations and students receiving the refurbished computers.

Instructions:
For the purpose of grading the project you are required to perform the following tasks:
Step Instructions Points Possible
1 Start Excel. Open the downloaded Excel file named e03ps3_grader_a1_start.xlsx. Save the file with the name e03ps3ShareClub_LastFirst, replacing LastFirst with your name. 0.000
2 On the Club Information worksheet, in range H6:H16, create a range named Volunteer_Hrs. In range D6:D16, create a range named Class. 4.000
3 A grade table appears in the spreadsheet assigning letter grades to grade point averages. In cell J6, use a VLOOKUP function to determine a letter grade for the grade point average in cell I6. Use AutoFill to copy the function to range J7:J16. Use absolute references in your formula as necessary. Fill the formula without formatting so the borders remain formatted. 4.000
4 Insert a new column to the left of column H. In cell H5, type Courses Completed. Resize the column as needed. 3.000
5 In cell H6, use an IF function with a nested AND function to create a function that analyzes the content of F6 and G6. Return Complete if both cells contain a Y, or Incomplete if one or both cells contain an N. Use AutoFill to copy the function to range H7:H16 without copying formatting. 6.000
6 In range A5:K16, insert a table. Use the headers in the top row to create named ranges for each of the columns. Resize the columns as needed. 5.000
7 The dean has requested a report of the student’s information. She wants a breakdown of the student’s year in high school, volunteer hours, and their grades. In cell A20, type Student Report Analysis. In cell B21, type Headcount Total. In cell C21, type Total Hours. Resize the columns as needed. In cell A22, type Seniors. In cell A23, type Juniors. In cell A24, type Sophomores. In cell A26, type “A” Students. In cell A27, type “D-” Students. 5.000

Sustainability? Tourism in the Republic of Cyprus

Sustainability? Tourism in the Republic of Cyprus

Tourism has both a positive and negative impact on the local community. Many communities look toward tourism to bring strong economic growth and stability; however, often times, communities overlook the potential negative social, political, and environmental impact.

For this assignment, refer to the case study titled “Towards Sustainability: Tourism in the Republic of Cyprus,” found in the Harris, L.C, & Husbands, W 1996 case book.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

1. Provide an overview of the tourism activities in Cyprus prior to the contemporary development and planning of tourism.

2. Assess the economic, social, political, and environmental impact of tourism prior to the contemporary development and planning of tourism. State why proper tourism planning and development was needed.

3. Summarize the contemporary tourism planning process the government of Cyprus, the Cyprus Tourism Organization (CTO), and the World Tourism Organization (WTO) conducted and the effects of the plan. Critique the plan’s effectiveness and recommend what could have been done differently.

4. Recommend three (3) strategies for moving Cyprus toward sustainability with its tourism industry.

5. Conduct a financial analysis of the tourism industry in Cyprus today and a future projection of tourism demand for Cyprus.

6. Compare and contrast another coastal tourism destination with Cyprus and differentiate its approach to the development and planning of tourism.

7. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.

Contemporary Hero’s Quest Presentation

Contemporary Hero’s Quest Presentation

Contemporary Hero’s Quest Presentation

Contemporary Hero’s Quest Presentation

Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation about a contemporary hero or heroine’s quest.

Pick a contemporary story in the form of a novel or movie that is inspired by a mythological epic or journey of a hero’s quest. Avoid using a film or book that uses actual characters from mythology (i.e. Thor, Hercules, Clash of the Titans, Beowulf, O Brother Where Art Thou?), rather choose a story whose characters and actions can be compared to mythic characters and plots. Briefly describe the plight of the main character–the feat(s) he or she must execute for the benefit of society in the face of challenges.

Identify the villain and describe his or her characteristics and role in the hero’s quest.

Identify other archetypes within the story. Refer to this week’s content outlines for archetype examples. Briefly describe these roles in the hero’s quest.

Identify in detail each of the steps the hero takes in the quest: initiation, separation, transformation, and return.

Research the mythological and cultural origins of the story. Discuss parallels between the myth(s) and the contemporary story it inspired.

Analyze any mythological symbolism, metaphors, and attributes pertinent to the story. What real life elements might these items represent?

Discuss the conflicts between personal desires and community responsibility represented in the myth and the contemporary story. Relate these to the conflicts and choices ordinary humans struggle with. Explain why these human conflicts retain relevance through the ages.

Format your citations and references consistent with APA guidelines. Make sure to include comprehensive speaker notes. Speaker notes should explain the images and bullet points that you include on the slides, and the speaker notes would serve as the “script” during your presentation. Since I cannot hear you present this information, make sure that your speaker notes cover all of the information that you would want to present in a face-to-face
