I’m stuck on a Writing question and need an explanation.

200-300 words

Our first week dives into the complicated ideas of “history” and “the past,” and what historians actually do when they create history.

Meditate on these questions and respond. Feel free to raise your own questions, or bring other related ideas into the mix.

1. What have you traditionally seen as history?

2. According to Fea, what are key differences between how historians view the past/history and non-historians? What kinds potential problems can arise from this disconnect?

3. As of the first week of class: what do you believe is the main reasons, or purpose, for studying history?

I’m trying to learn for my Law class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Read “Innovative Data Collection Methods in Criminological Research.”

https://crimesciencejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40163-014-0006-1

Do you agree with the issues and challenges of collection methods in criminological research as described in the article? Why or why not? How can these methods be applied to the work you are undertaking in this course?

I don’t know how to handle this Political Science question and need guidance.

Was World War I avoidable? Was it inevitable? Why did it happen?

If you believe that the war was avoidable, explain why in the Avoidable forum, supporting your argument with either logical arguments or historical facts. If you believe that the war wast inevitable, explain why in the Inevitableforum. In either case, post your essay no later than midnight on Thursday, January 16, using source cited facts and theory to support your argument.

Avoidable
If you believe that World War I was avoidable, explain why by responding to this thread.

Inevitable
If you believe that World War I was inevitable, explain why by responding to this thread.

This question must be answered in a 4 paragraph summary using this format:

Your postings should be well written and clearly address the issues being discussed. I expect each writing assignment to have:

(1) An introductory paragraph that addresses directly the question posed by the instructor;

(2) A body of factual examples that support your answer; these examples may be drawn from either the assigned readings or footnoted sources researched independently by the student;

(3) Factual examples and the published work of others must be appropriately cited; plagiarized threads will be penalized. I strongly encourage you not to cite Wikipedia as a source for academic essays.

(4) A succinct concluding paragraph.

I don’t understand this Marketing question and need help to study.

Based on your research of consumer needs in our main markets, describe your value proposition, or the benefits that ACME and its potential new product would provide to customers. Remember, a value proposition is essentially the promise that is made to the customer; the value that the product provides to the consumers, and which would compel them to buy it. Also provide a half-page recommendation to ACME on whether or not to manufacture that product.

Then Combine the first two (Part 1&2) deliverables into a single report after making any necessary corrections and edit them to ensure that there is clear flow of ideas from one section to the other.

In addition, prepare a one-page executive summary (following the cover page) that highlights the most important findings of the report. APA style should be applied to in-text citations and in the reference list.

I’m working on a Sociology exercise and need support.

What have you learned about yourself and society?

Throughout this course, you’ve been developing your sociological perspective. You’ve also learned about the importance and impact of social inequality for society and individuals.

• What is one new thing you’ve learned about yourself that demonstrates how your social background has helped shape the person you are today?
• What is one issue related to social inequality that is interesting to you and that you plan to learn more about after this course?

2) Your response must address the discussion question and you must also comment on at least one other student’s post.

3) WEEK 11 INSTRUCTOR INSIGHTS VIDEO IS OPTIONAL

MY DEAR STUDENTS,

So often when we SUCCESSFULLY complete a course—we breathe a sigh of relief—regroup and prepare to move on to the next class, or maybe anxiously await to participate in one of the world famous Strayer University commencements!!! No matter if you are a first year Strayer student or reaching for your cap and gown—you should be HAPPY!!! I am providing as our last Instructor Insights a very well known video—one that you may have seen many times or perhaps not–either way–this is my way of celebrating the ACADEMIC in you–the movers and shakers, those of you who have persisted when the odds were stacked against you, those of you who missed a lot of sleep as you worked in your courses while juggling jobs, families, illnesses, personal emergencies, never ending after school activities, parent-teacher meetings, racing to the grocery store, to any store, last minute meals, spilled coffee, not enough coffee, moving to new states, moving to another place in the same city/town, buying and selling homes, deployments, engagements, marriages, births, saying goodbye, crashed computers, last minute dashes to find information, too little time and too much work….and so much more!! I applaud you!!! Stay the course, let no one take your HAPPINESS!!

PS I am sure that you have seen this video at least once….however I just could not resist!

I don’t know how to handle this Management question and need guidance.

Hello,

Here are the instructions for this assignment. Thanks:

In this individual practice exercise activity, you will create an Interface Structure Diagram in a physical modeling process. Generally, a systems analyst creates an ISD for each Process in a Level 0 DFD. In this individual practical exercise, you will utilize the data from the two DFD fragments that you created in Module 6.

You will design your ISD to show how a user would navigate through the various screens in the information system.

Requirements

Create your ISD utilizing Microsoft Visio^®.

Create a new ISD from ‘scratch’, ensure that you select the Categories (not Featured) menu selection from above the templates that are presented and select General/Basic Diagram. Once you open a basic diagram, select More Shapes/Software & Database/Database/Chen’s Database Notation in the Shapes menu and select Create. You will drag/drop and vertically combine three separate Entity shapes to build each of your interface elements.

You must present name data in text boxes that are reflective of the interface elements (screens, forms, and reports) that will be presented to the users of your inventory management system. You must utilize a tree-type numbering system for the interface elements.

When evaluating the menus, be sure to consider those that might be associated with your aviation-related business.

Your ISD data must address the following requirements:

• Submit your ISD in a Portrait orientation.
• Submit the following data in your ISD:
  • Do not follow the data presented in Figure 9-10 in the textbook
  • ONE main menu interface element.
  • Title the main menu interface element “Main Menu.”
  • Number the main menu interface element ‘0’ (zero) in the top section and “1.1” in the bottom section.
  • TWO submenu interface elements under the main menu.
  • Title the two submenu interface elements with the same noun-related titles of the two Data Stores in the DFD fragments submitted in Module 6.
  • Number the two submenu interface elements as follows:
    • “1” and “2” in the top sections.
    • “1.1.1” and “1.1.2” in the bottom sections.
  • Number the submenu interface elements in the top and bottom sections relative to the main menu numbers.
  • THREE interface elements (screens, forms, or reports) per submenu interface element.
  • Title the interface elements (screens, forms, or reports) with the same verb-related data of the two processes in the DFD fragments in Module 6. Note: You will have to create a new type of IMS process data for each submenu interface element to fulfill the requirement for THREE interface elements.
  • Number the interface elements (screens, forms, or reports) in the top and bottom sections relative to the submenu interface element numbers.
    • “1.1,” “1.2,” “1.3” in the top sections for the three interface elements (screens, forms, or reports) of submenu “1.”
    • “2.1,” “2.2,” And “2.3” in the top sections for the three interface elements (screens, forms, or reports) of submenu “2.”
    • “1.1.1” in each of the bottom sections of the three interface elements (screens, forms, or reports) of submenu “1.”
    • “1.1.2” in each of the bottom sections of the three interface elements (screens, forms, or reports) of submenu “2.”
• Submit your ISD in VSDX file format.

I’m trying to study for my Literature course and I need some help to understand this question.

Organizing for Themes

Once you have collected and evaluated the relevant studies on your topic, you need to think how best to present the information in a way that captures the common themes you have found. What multiple discrete themes emerged from your review? You will need to determine these categories and concepts or themes you think are important to understanding your topic and defining your research problem. Consider what ideas surfaced across your studies and how the content from these studies can fit within some higher-level themes based on the focus of your own research. Even after you have grouped ideas and determined themes, you will need to decide how to order them in a way that makes your argument for your research problem compelling. These themes will eventually be the structure of your literature review.

In this Discussion, you will begin to organize the content from the ten articles of your annotated bibliography (Parts 1, 2, and 3) into themes, which will then constitute the basis for your research problem. (See this week’s Assignment for more details on Part 3.)

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Begin to organize your 10 articles (from Weeks 3, 7, and 8) into topics that trace your argument, as described in Chapter 8, “Synthesizing Literature Prior to Writing a Review” (pp. 73–80), in the Galvan text.
  • The topics should demonstrate that your argument is worthwhile and justified, leading to the gap in the literature.
• Review the web resource “Integrating Arguments in Paragraphs.”
• Review the following media pieces:
  • Synthesis and Thesis Development
  • Adding Analysis and Synthesis to Your Writing
  • Reviewing the Literature and Incorporating Previous Research
  • Literature Review Panel with the Library and Writing Center

Post by Day 3 a list of your themes, and explain how these topics relate to the gap in the literature you identified.

I don’t understand this Business question and need help to study.

Module 1 – SLP

Assessment of Data Sources for the Research Problem

In this SLP you will begin the process of collecting and analyzing background information on the firm for your dissertation. You received this firm’s commitment via the Letter of Intent in DOC650. In the SLPs, you will analyze secondary data on your chosen firm. (In the Cases, you will design how you will conduct your primary research at the firm.) Secondary data are records that are publicly available while primary data for most of you will involve interviews and observations at the firm.

In the SLPs, you will take a deep dive into the context of the firm for your dissertation. For some of you this may be a for-profit corporation that has stockholders and publishes an Annual Report with articles about the firm in Forbes, Fortune, CNNMoney, and other sources. For others, this may be a non-profit or volunteer organization. Some may have selected a small business that is privately owned, or you may have selected a government agency for your dissertation. You could be researching an educational institution at any level. Bear in mind that before you can start collecting primary data from the firm, you will need to submit a proposal on your research to Trident’s Institutional Review Board, one of whose rules is that research subjects must be at least 18 years of age.

In this SLP, you will describe the organization where you will conduct your dissertation research, describing the organization in detail and why it is relevant for your research question. Here in SLP 1, you will build a quantitative case to supplement your qualitative rationale for selecting this firm.

Below is a list of data sources that may be helpful in finding background information for your firm. You may have other sources, and you can certainly use them as long as you provide the source for the information you use in justifying the context for your dissertation research.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Provide background data about your organization. This may be the total sales or the number of customers, patients, or clients served. How does this firm differ from other similar organizations? Find similar statistics on these other similar firms and provide a comparative analysis in a table.

You want to find all the secondary data available on the firm that you can locate. Besides financial data this may involve articles in Fortune Magazine or Business Week. If possible, look in the back issues of newspapers and magazines local to the area in which the firm is located. Get the names of management and descriptions of their jobs. Find out the firm’s locations (addresses) and how products or services are delivered. Describe the customers or other external contacts. What are the logistical issues in delivering the product or service? Who are the competitors and what are their sales? Of the total market for the product or service, what percentage does your firm have?

From your review of secondary sources, produce a 4- to 5-page Background Introduction on your selected firm. In coming modules, you will add quantitative analysis to the Introduction you develop for this SLP. This is the first step and the introduction to your background on why this firm has been selected for your research.

Your assignment will be graded using the following criteria:

Assignment-Driven Criteria: Student demonstrates mastery covering all key elements of the assignment.

Critical Thinking/Application to Professional Practice: Student demonstrates mastery conceptualizing the problem and analyzing information. Conclusions are logically presented and applied to professional practice in an exceptional manner.

Business Writing and Quality of References: Student demonstrates mastery and proficiency in written communication and use of appropriate and relevant literature at the doctoral level.

Citing Sources: Student demonstrates mastery applying APA formatting standards to both in-text citations and the reference list.

Professionalism and Timeliness: Assignments are submitted on time.
