British literature (McDougal littell) Unit 3 test Humanities Assignment Help

Instructions

This assignment has two parts. The first part is a review of NCU dissertations to help you understand what will be expected of you as you move into the dissertation phase of your work. The second part allows you to practice with a basic correlational design.

Part 1 (3 points):

For each of the three NCU dissertations listed in the Resources for this week, identify in one sentence each the problem, purpose, research questions, methodology and design, and finally why the methodology and design selected are appropriate to answer the research questions presented.

Part 2 (7 points):

Now that you have reviewed several correlational designs, it is time to practice creating your own mini-correlational study. For this assignment, you will survey five people you know to practice working with quantitative data.

Think of a problem you see in your daily life (it does not have to be related to Education for this exercise) that can be addressed using correlational research. You will create a problem statement, purpose statement, research questions, and hypotheses that can best be addressed using correlational research. You will then demonstrate your ability to run a correlation with the data you collect. Keep this practice exercise very simple, as the main idea is to grasp the big picture concept of correlation rather than to create a complex study.

For example, a problem in daily life you may notice that when you or your colleagues sit too long during the day energy levels suffer in the evening. Your purpose could be to determine if sitting too long during the day is related to low energy during the evening. Your research question could be: How does the amount of time sitting during the day relate to evening energy level?

You may reach out to family members, friends, and colleagues—either through work or by posting in the ID CoP—but abstain from referring to this as data collection or research, which would then require informed consent and an IRB review.

In this example, your hypothesis might be the more hours a person spends sitting a day, the lower their reported energy level will be in the evening. Your approach would then be to survey five friends, family members, or colleagues and ask them: (x) how many hours did you sit at your desk yesterday? And (y) on a scale of 1-10, what was your energy level last night? You could then calculate Pearson’s r for your data set to determine how your variables are correlated. As a reminder, you should have a basic idea of how to calculate Pearson’s r from your prior course work; so please, refer to that information. This is also covered in chapter 3 of your textbook.

For your practice, correlational study, include the following parts:

1. One sentence statement of the problem (1 point)
2. One sentence statement of the purpose (1 point)
3. Research question (1 point)
4. Hypothesis (1 point) 2 hypotheses (one
   null and one alternative) for each research question.
5. Calculation of Pearson’s r (1 point)
6. One- to two-sentence summary of your findings (1 point)
7. One-paragraph reflection on how you might use correlational designs in your future research in Education (1 point)

Length: 1 -2 pages in total, not including title page

References: No references required, though any sources used should be cited and referenced in APA format

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Monkey.java Class File
Create a Monkey.java class file that meets the requirements laid out in the specification document. Be sure to include in-line comments that explicitly identify the changes you made as well as describe the functionality of the code.

Driver.java Class File
Modify the Driver.java class file in accordance with the requirements of the specification document. Be sure to include in-line comments that explicitly identify the changes you made as well as describe the functionality of the code.

Dog.java Class File
Submit the Dog.java class file, even though you were not required to make changes to it for this project.

After you complete the project write a brief discussion separately in a word file. Answer the question in your discussion…

Now that you have completed the Project Two, take some time to reflect on what you have learned and discuss your learning with your peers. Be sure to address at least two of the following questions:

• What was the most interesting thing you learned in the modules or created for the project?
• What concepts do you feel are unclear or you need more practice applying?
• What are you most excited to learn next?
• How did you overcome any roadblocks you encountered while going through the activities or project?

Essay 2: Literature Review – 1200 words minimum, 25% of final grade

Rhetorical Situation – You are writing for a general audience that you would like to educate about relevant issues.

Assignment

Earlier this month on 3/4/2020, you wrote a cause and effect essay that discussed one of the topics below.

• The causes of homelessness in your community.
• The effects of stress on students in high school or college.
• The effects of not keeping a personal budget.
• Why some people don’t bother to vote in local or national elections.

You later participated in a “think tank” and posted a summary of your group’s ideas on these issues. This can be found in the discussion forum on D2L. Let’s continue building on the conversation. Write an essay that reviews the published research on the topic. Search for scholarly articles, books, and other sources relevant to this topic. Describe, summarize, objectively evaluate and clarify these sources.

• Why did you choose this topic and what makes it relevant?
• Evaluate the credibility of the sources.
• What stances or positions do the sources identify?
• What kind of evidence is presented in each source?
• Compare and contrast the sources’ claims and evidence.
• A minimum of five sources is required.

Rationale

You will analyze and synthesize the ideas of several authors and demonstrate their relationship to your own emerging position.

Do I need a work cited page?

Yes. You will be citing from your sources and will need to list each essay or other source that you quote from, paraphrase, or summarize in your work cited page. Make appropriate use of the full array of devices for MLA citation: attributive lead-in phrases, quotation marks, in-text parenthetical references, and a listing of every source on the work cited page. Please ask if you have any questions about citation and remember that all essays will go through the Turnitin Originality Check in the D2L (eLearning) Dropbox.

SUMMARY: Mexico made concessions on cars, while Canada made concessions on cheese to pave the way for a new regional trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada. After President Donald Trump’s threat to move ahead with a revised agreement with Mexico but without Canada, it left Canada only a few days to negotiate a new trade deal. Canada’s key negotiator was given advice by her Mexican counterpart to offer a critical concession to break the logjam with the United States. After presenting detailed plans for easing curbs on American milk and cheese products, Canada and the United States engaged in several days of nearly round-the-clock negotiations to reach Mr. Trump’s negotiation deadline. The result was the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The member countries recently signed the new pact, but it still requires ratification by legislators in all three countries before it can take effect.

QUESTIONS:

1. What concessions did Mexico and Canada need to offer to reach an agreement with the United States to replace Nafta?
2. What challenges exist for the USMCA to be ratified and go into effect?
3. Should Mexico and Canada have offered the concessions that they did to renegotiate Nafta? Explain your position.
4. The U.S. goal of increasing local content requirement percentages and adding a requirement that a certain amount of content has to be performed by high-cost labor in the automotive industry in USMCA is to bring automotive jobs back to the United States. Do you think these requirements will achieve this goal? Explain your point of view.
