Final Definition Essay Exam , English homework help

/in /by

Final Essay Exam

Write a 500 word definition essay on one of the terms or concepts from the list provided below. Use other modes of writing, such as description, exploratory, and persuasion (argumentation) to produce a well-developed definition for your term or concept. Choose your terminology carefully; you want to select a term/concept that is rich in personal meaning. When defining complex and abstract concepts, your ultimate goal is to provide a specific and concrete meaning for your reader. Extended definitions, such as the one I am asking you to produce as your final essay, depend on examples, illustrations, and narratives. Personal observation and opinion should also serve as the basis for your definition.

Select one of the following terms or concepts to produce your Final Definition Essay Exam :

1 – Integrity

2 – Honor

3 – Pride

4 – Joy

Choose your essay structure carefully. Avoid including details that do not serve to advance or complete your definition. As always, I expect your essay to contain a strong introduction that includes your essay’s thesis, a coherent and focused body that effectively transitions from paragraph to paragraph, and a rich conclusion that provides closure for your definition.

Use all the resources you have available to complete this exam. Refer to your Course Documents folder and your textbook for strategies and tips on student writing. I strongly recommend that you reread chapter six’s introduction and conclusion to refresh your knowledge of the definition mode. Be sure to reference the revisions I have provided you for prior assignments, as these revisions specifically speak to your writing style.

ANALYZING THE RESULTS OF THREE RESEARCH STUDIES

This discussion task is designed to help you analyze some research studies on the topic on which you will be writing WA #3.

To complete this task, you find three articles through UMUC’s OneSearch that report on research studies. Many scholarly articles are actually reports of the findings of a research study. For this reason it should not be difficult to find three such articles. For example, if your topic is teleworking (which is a very general topic), you could easily find three studies on teleworking. If your topic is white-collar crime, you could find three studies on the very general topic of white-collar crime.

After you find your three articles, please read over the three articles and complete the following for each one:

  • list the source in APA format
  • list key terms in the article
  • describe the focus of the study
  • describe the methodology the author used
  • summarize the study’s findings
  • write your reflections on the article itself. Comment on whether you found the study difficult to interpret, whether you understood the methodology, or other items that might be of interest to your fellow classmates.

This task will help you become more familiar with finding research studies on your topic, reading them over, gleaning the main points of them, and summarizing their findings. These skills will be helpful as you continue to research for WA#3.

Thanks

VISUAL MAPPING — APPLYING THE SPIDER DIAGRAM

You can use a “ Spider Diagram” to help you to structure your discussion of sources in The Literature Review as well as to brainstorm the niches and gaps in the research literature. A spider diagram is a visual tool usually used for planning your writing. However, you can also use it for evaluating and thinking about a topic in detail.

Print out your Literature Review notes and grab a blank piece of paper.

For more information on the Spider Diagram, please visit the link at the top of this week’s Content, Spider Diagrams: How and Why They Work.

Task :

  • Write your idea/title/topic/thesis in the center of a piece of paper. Draw a circle around it. For the purposes of this exercise, you will use the topic of your Literature Review.
  • Draw a “leg” from the central “body” of your Literature Review topic towards the top right hand corner of the page. Label this “leg” with the first topic/category that you dealt with in your Review.
  • Add more legs moving clockwise around the page until all the sections have been included, with the final one being somewhere near the top left of the page.
  • Now divide each “leg” up into smaller “legs” with all the points that you made in each section. (Again work clockwise from the top left so that the sequence of ideas is maintained).
  • Finally, please be sure that one section is devoted to identifying any gaps or niches in the research literature in your synthesis of sources essay (literature review), or WA#3.
  • You may have to redraw your spider diagram several times until you find a structure that works for you. Make sure that you find a proposal structure that suits the needs of your Niches and Gaps paper. Please post your spider diagram below.
  • Respond to this discussion topic with one paragraph describing how this task might have helped you or why it did not help you in organizing your thoughts for WA#3.

SYNTHESIZING SOURCES — FOUR MOVIE REVIEWS OF “STEVE JOBS”

WRTG 391 students,

This week , you are reading four movie reviews of the movie Steve Jobs. The reviews are from Ann Hornaday, Rex Reed, Benjamin Lee, and Anthony Lane.

After perusing the four movie reviews, please complete the following tasks:

The four reviewers do not agree on their evaluation of the acting in the film.

1. First, analyze all four reviewers and, for each reviewer, write at least one summary sentence describing what the review says about the acting in the film. In addition, for each reviewer, quote the reviewer at least one time to demonstrate the sentiment he or she expresses about the acting.

Ann Hornaday-

Summary statement:

Quote from this reviewer to support the summary statement:

Rex Reed-

Summary statement:

Quote from this reviewer to support the summary statement:

Benjamin Lee-

Summary statement:

Quote from this reviewer to support the summary statement:

Anthony Lane –

Summary statement:

Quote from this reviewer to support the summary statement:

2. Then, write three or four short paragraphs that synthesize all four reviewers and the points they make on the acting in the film. Remember, when synthesizing, you don’t simply list what each author says about the topic. You write about the issue of acting in the film and integrate the points of all four reviewers into that analysis.

You could group authors into categories, if possible. For example, consider the reviewers that tend to praise the acting and write about them in a paragraph or two. Then consider the reviewers that did not like the acting and write about them in a paragraph or two. Following this analysis, you might write a concluding paragraph that summarizes all four reviewers’ views on the acting.

ANALYZING A LITERATURE REVIEW, PART I

WRTG 391 students,

This discussion thread is designed to help you see how a synthesis of sources essay, or literature review, is organized.

Please download the article, “Beyond Frequency: Perceived Realism and the CSI Effect,” by Evelyn Maeder and Richard Corbett. The article is available in the e-reserves of your class.

On pages 84-85, the authors provide an introduction to the research study they conducted. You can read this section if you would like to. However, for this discussion thread, please read from page 85 “(“The CSI effect defined”) to page 94 (up to the section entitled “Method”).

Then answer the following questions:

1. In the first section (“The CSI effect defined”), do the authors ever give you their opinion on the CSI effect? How do they support their definition and their expansion on the definition? How many different sources do they cite in this section?

2. From pages 86-88, the authors discuss lawyers, police officers, judges, and community members. In this section, do the authors ever give you their opinion on any of the issues discussed?

3. Examine the section entitled “Verdicts” (pp. 90-92). How do the results from the study by Shelton et al. differ from the results of the study by Kim, Barak, and Shelton? How do the results of the study by Baskin and Sommers differ from the results of other studies?

4. As a result of having read this article, please write a few sentences about what you might have learned about a) synthesizing sources or b) the CSI effect.

Thanks

ANALYZING A LITERATURE REVIEW, PART II

WRTG 391 students,

This discussion thread is designed to further help you see how a synthesis of sources essay, or literature review, is organized.

Please download the sample literature from the 100-level psychology class.

Please note that this literature review is more informal than the one on the CSI effect by Maeder and Corbett that you read last week. You will notice a level of informality in its tone and language. In addition, it is not perfect in its synthesis of sources. Moreover, the author cites only six sources throughout the review. Overall, this is a literature review written for a 100-level class. Please keep in mind that you literature review might not be as sophisticated as the one by Maeder and Corbett. Nonetheless, it provides a helpful demonstration of how one can analyze studies, synthesize sources, and divide a review into categories.

Please answer the following questions:

1. In the introduction, what is the thesis statement for this paper?

2. In the section entitled “Influence of Mood on Eating Behavior,” does the writer ever give her own opinion? If you think so, point out where she does.

In this section, the author mentions limits to the study by Oliver and Wardle. What are the limits of this study, according to the writer?

3. Throughout the paper, does the author ever advocate for programs or other steps to be taken for the problem she describes in the paper?

4. In the section “Influence of Eating Behavior on Later Moods,” the writer cites only one source. If you were to give her advice on this section, what advice might you give her to help her develop it more effectively? Feel free to search in the library databases for articles on this topic or to suggest key words for her to search on.

5. As a result of having read this article, please write a few sentences about what you might have learned about synthesizing sources.

Thanks

4 Accounting Discussion Questions

/in /by

I need 1 to 2 paragraphs containing detailed answers to each of the following discussion questions. Please do not forget to include references on each discussion with your answers.

Discussion 1

Your employer gave you an option between a defined contribution pension plan and a defined benefit pension plan. Recall what each plan offers and choose the plan that works best for you. Support your response with facts about each plan. Also, consider the accounting method your employer uses to report these expenditures. How does this method compare to an Endowment fund? Identify any similarities and differences between pension plan reporting and endowment fund reporting.

Either pension plan you choose is only beneficial for you if your employer is transparent. Contributions made by the employer need to be relayed to the employee. Ongoing revisions and projections are a necessity to ensure planning is adequate for future needs. European countries are constantly focusing on transparency to provide high quality financial information. Organizations like the World Bank and the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) require reporting very similar to the United States to require organizational transparency. However, Arab countries appear to be behind the wave with transparency or does it only appear this way? Evaluate the transparency in Arab countries to see what the similarities and differences are with the United States.

Discussion 2

Different activities can indicate signs of strength, weakness, or a neutral effect on the financial condition of a company. Analyze activities that indicate strong and weak financial conditions. Conclude how five of the following activities affect the financial condition of a company and provide support for your conclusions:

  • Revenues over expenditures
  • Intergovernmental revenues
  • Level of business activity
  • Education level of citizens
  • Unemployment rate
  • Restrictions on revenues
  • Personal income per capita
  • Debt service
  • Percentage of households below the poverty level
  • Short-term borrowing
  • Property values
  • Population growth
  • Political party of the mayor
  • Unfunded pension liability
  • Operating deficit.

Discussion 3

Pyramid Printing Company’s Controller, Sally Sound, has been approached by the company’s President, Mike Maryland, to optimize green sustainability initiatives and work with the production staff to maximize recycling income. After conferring with the production and warehouse staff, Sally noted that the company’s paper roll cores are never fully used due to the timing of the web gluing process. Sally Sound then assessed an opportunity for Pyramid’s paper roll cores to be sold as a byproduct; the rolls would be stripped and converted into packaging inserts for a major online retailer.

  • What are the characteristics of a byproduct?
  • Which methods are used to account for byproducts?
  • Rationalize which of these possible methods might be best to employ for this scenario.

Discussion 4

Pyramid Printing Company is a printer of magazines and retail inserts. Sally Sound, the company’s Controller, initiated an inquiry regarding what has surfaced as a large material variance for the month of April 2017. After inquiring of the production department, it was discovered that many copies of an insert for a major retailer’s holiday promotion were out of register and discarded. Sally then noted that these were not properly recorded as spoilage to deflect attention from quality issues.

What are the ramifications of reporting the quality-impaired product as a material variance rather than spoilage? Discuss the accuracy of the expenses recorded for the period, as well as any relevant ethical issues.

Enterprise Funds Related To Capital Contributions, Restricted Assets, and Landfills- Accounting

/in /by

Option #1: Enterprise funds related to capital contributions, restricted assets, and landfills

Robinson County has a recreational facility where many patrons as well as tourists come for basketball tournaments from all over the world. Previously, the recreational facility sustained itself from its profits, which led to the creation of an enterprise fund. As a result, accounting for the basketball courts was moved from the General Fund to the new enterprise fund. Lately, the courts usage has diminished causing the costs to increase. This year the court lost a half million, which had to be covered by the General Fund. In the upcoming fiscal year, the county projects the shortfall to be more than a million.

Required:

  • Evaluate whether Robinson County should include the recreational facility in their Parks and Recreation department or if it should be funded by fees charged to the users.
  • Is there justification for accounting for the recreational facility as an enterprise fund? If so, how does this affect reporting as an enterprise fund activity instead of a General Fund activity?
  • How would you handle the recreational facility dilemma?
  • What questions, if any, should you address for the following situations: Robinson County continues accounting for the recreational facility as in the past; An outside management company operates a portion or the entire facility. Several options are presented under this option including the county maintains control of the basketball operations but outsources the basketball shops, concession stands, and court maintenance. The county leases the recreational facility to a private operator in exchange for lease income to the municipality. Under this option, capital investments in facility improvements, minimum standards of maintenance, and courts fee restrictions exist; the county sales the recreational facility and removes from their books.

Paper Requirements:

  • Submit your responses to the questions in a 3 page Microsoft Word document. Label each question clearly. Include computations in a table and show work.
  • For written answers, ensure your responses are well-written.
