Map Assignment (16% of total course grade)

Map Assignment (course objectives):

  • describe how technologies such as geographic information systems, remote sensing, and maps are used to analyze local, regional, and global issues
  • describe how culture, the environment, and location affect how we define and understand the world
  • interpret information from the spatial perspective in order to apply knowledge of geography to world events

Instructions

Get the Map:

  • Locate the appropriate topographic map from the United States Geological
    Survey (USGS) site, http://www.usgs.gov/.
  • Go to Maps, Imagery, and Publications, and then, under Maps,
  • Click on Download Digital Scans of Topo Maps. Then go to Map
    Locator. In the search box on right, type Washington, DC.
  • Click on the square named Washington West.
  • Then click on the bubble you created. Download: Washington West 7.5X7.5 1983.

Find the U.S. Naval Observatory Location:

  • Navigate using the + and Âbuttons on the PDF map and the hand tool.
    Zooming in using the + and Âbuttons on the map itself gives very high resolution. Do not use the control key and mouse scroll button to zoom in. This map covers parts of Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

Put a Dot on the Observatory and Label “Observatory”:

  • Zoom in on the area that includes the observatory so that the vertical dimension on your map is about one to two kilometers. Each square on the map is one square kilometer. Using the annotation feature on the map, mark where the observatory is with a dot. Make sure your dot is a contrasting color so that a viewer can see it.
  • Again using the map’s annotation features, create a text box next to the dot that says “U.S. Observatory.” Use an appropriate size font and color.

Prepare a Word Document with the Following:

  • A screen shot of your map showing the U.S. Naval Observatory. The shot should include a vertical distance of one to two kilometers.
  • The approximate elevation of the observatory.
  • A paragraph describing the topography near the observatory. Include a large enough
    area to make your description interesting.
  • Go to Google Earth and take a screen shot of the same area as covered by the
    screen shot of your topographic map. Put this on your Word document.

(Hint: take a little larger screen shot than your topographic map. Then resize and crop in Word to make it the same area as your topographic map screen shot.)

Compare and contrast the view and information available from the two maps/images, and answer the following questions:

1. What is the elevation of the U.S. Naval Observatory?

2. What does it mean when the contour lines are close together? What does it mean when the lines are far apart?

3. Generally describe topography of Rock Creek Park on the map. Describe how you know from the map what the topography is.

4. What is the lowest land elevation on the map? Why is that an easy question?

5. Using the map, what is the distance in kilometers (to the nearest tenth of a

kilometer) between the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress?

(Hint: Use the scale at the bottom of the map. Use a ruler gently against the monitor. You cannot zoom in and out once you measure.)

Oral-Proposal-Project-Presentation-help

/in /by

Kindly Bid only if you are a Lady with an AMERICAN Voice.

I have attached my complete proposal. You work is only to create the PowerPoint presentation and do some recording.

Proposal-Based Presentation

Now that you’ve finished your written proposal, you are ready to create a PowerPoint presentation based on it. This should not be a reproduction of your proposal; rather it is to share information about your proposal with your classmates. In addition to the PowerPoint file being submitted to the drop box, you will use an online e-learning tool to record your presentation.

  • The purpose of this presentation is to familiarize you with giving an oral presentation. You will not be presenting in front of a live group.
  • Your PowerPoint presentation will be recorded and published using the online e-learning tool.
  • A link for the online e-learning tool was sent by email. If you do not have it please contact your instructor.
  • The login ID is your first name.last name. Use your Rasmussen password.
  • Once a recording is approved by the instructor, members of the class will be able to view it.

Contact the Personal Support Center if you have any questions or difficulties using the online e-learning tool to record and publish your presentation.

Presentation Guidelines

To create your Proposal Project Presentation, you should not copy and paste large sections of text from your written proposal. A PowerPoint presentation is not the same as a written report. Your slides should include only the main points from your proposal, and these main points should be condensed into short phrases and explanations. Your PowerPoint presentation should include the following elements:

Title Slide
Your title slide should include the following:

  • An appropriate title for your proposal presentation
  • The name of this course (in place of the name of the company preparing the proposal)
  • The author’s name
  • The date of the presentation

Problem Section (1-3 slides)
Just as you did in the written proposal, you must prove that a serious problem exists. You may want to answer these questions about your problem:

  • How long has the problem existed?
  • Is it worse now? Why?
  • What are some relevant statistics?
  • What are other people doing to solve similar problems?

However, please remember that PowerPoint slides should use short phrases and explanations, not complete paragraphs from your written proposal. You may want to include a visual, especially if your problem section discusses relevant statistics. Any visual included in your presentation should follow the guidelines from Week 06.

Audience (1-2 slides)
Your slides should explain who the audience of your proposal includes and what their needs are. Tell how you will overcome skepticism. What objections do you anticipate? How will you be sure your proposal is the “winning” proposal for this audience?

Solution Section (1-3 slides)
Your slides should briefly outline the change you propose and want approved. Your solution should be directly related to the problem you just documented and be appropriate to the audience you’ve described.

Again, please remember that PowerPoint slides should use short phrases and explanations, not complete paragraphs from your written proposal. You should consider using visuals in this section if you cite numerical data to support your plan.

In the overall format of your PowerPoint slides, please use the following guidelines:

  • Use an appropriate design template. Assume that your presentation will be given in a “bright” room (with the lights on).
  • When recording your presentation, please keep in mind that an online e-learning tool does not “record” slide animation.

The following resources may help you as you create your PowerPoint and cite your sources: 

A Word on Visuals…
Make sure your visuals explain, support, or enhance your presentation. Do not use visuals simply as decoration.

Computer-Mediated-Communication-assignment-help-

/in /by

For most of us, computer-mediated-communication (CMC) is a big part of our daily lives. For the purpose of this assignment, we will include your cell phone as a type of “computer.” In this assignment, you will reflect on your CMC.

First, read Chapter 4 in Bevan and Sole. Next, monitor your cell phone and/or computer-use during the course of a single day. Please download and save the CMC chart and make a note each time you check an email, text, play a game, or even check the time. Keep track of all of your personal and work-based communication activities through the course of a day and write everything you did on the provided chart. Keep track of the type of communication, length of time of your engagement, and the roles of both verbal and nonverbal communication in the interactions.

As you take notes on your chart, ask yourself:

  • Was there any implied meaning in the text of your writing? Did you ever use emoticons or use all caps?
  • In your written messages, how do you try to convey tone without nonverbal cues?
  • In your spoken messages, how do you think you could have been clearer if those messages had been written?
  • What connections can you make between your activities and the various functions of language and non-verbal communication discussed in Bevan and Sole (Sections 4.1 and 4.2)? Please list and describe at least one function of language and one function of nonverbal communication and show how those functions are demonstrated in your day of interactions.

Sample Notes

Work email – used emoticons and exclamation points to lighten the tone; careful with formal language and typos as this can be read that as careless or incompetent; saw responses to me with exclamation points and emoticons (nonverbal); like in table 4.7 in our text, I noticed I tried to clarify I understood others by saying things like “Are you saying that …?” If I were with them, I’d read body language instead.

When you write your paper, focus on specific interactions like the example used above or comment on general-use patterns. Then, based on what you have learned in Bevan and Sole, answer the following questions:

  • How much time in a single day do you communicate with your phone, computer, or both? Why does this matter?
  • Why should we pay special attention to our CMC?
  • What function of nonverbal communication did your interactions illustrate? How important was nonverbal communication in all of your computer-mediated interactions? Or, how did the lack of nonverbal communication allow you to think about a function of nonverbal communication?
  • What function of language did your interactions illustrate? How important was verbal communication?
  • What advice from Bevan and Sole could be used to improve your computer-mediated-communication?

Do not worry if you end up missing a few of your interactions. However, the more details you collect, the better your evidence will be to support your points. If it turns out you do not do much computer-mediated-communication, focus on the costs or benefits of primarily relying on verbal (and/or spoken) communication.

Copy and paste your complete CMC chart to the end of your paper.

The paper

  • Must be two to three double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
  • Must include a separate title page with the following:
    • Title of paper
    • Student’s name
    • Course name and number
    • Instructor’s name
    • Date submitted
  • Must use the course text to support points.
  • Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
  • Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Take a look at the Sample Week Two Paper for a sense of how to approach this task. Notice there are comments on the paper that make note of strengths and weaknesses. Please only use this as a guide. Do not copy any of the content. Feel free to also reach out to your instructor for additional guidance.

U-S-History-Media-and-Politics-history-homework-help

/in /by

Special interest groups will speak out in various ways for or against legislation or express opinions on court cases related to its focus issues. For example, the National Rifle Association, or NRA, took particular interest in the 2008 Supreme Court case D.C. v. Heller. The NRA is an interest group that believes in responsible gun ownership for self-protection, hunting, and recreation.

Washington, D.C., had a ban on private handgun ownership, citing safety concerns in the busy city. In the D.C. v. Heller case, a group of people challenged the law as unconstitutional, and the NRA supported their position by submitting its opinion and rationale as a formal document to the court. The NRA used the language of the Constitution and different laws to justify its position, just as judges must do to decide a case.

The Supreme Court sided with Heller, striking down the ban. It is arguable how much of a role the NRA played in the case outcome, but the interest group definitely took action. Following the case, it filed lawsuits in other cities with similar bans. In this activity, you will research an interest group to determine what position it would take on a specific public policy or court decision and present the information in the form of an article or blog that could appear on the interest group’s website.

STEPS

  1. Select an interest group and research its origins, policy positions, and membership. The following websites can help you find an interest group that focuses on an issue you care about:
  2. Consider whether the interest group would have supported a recent public policy change or court decision. You may use a law or program you have recently studied or search for one through newspapers, websites for Congress or your state legislature, or other Internet sites. You may find the Virtual Library, the Library of Congress–THOMAS, and Supreme Court websites helpful. You may find this Activity useful for how to conduct research. 

    Tip: Do not expect to find a direct link between the policy or court decision and your interest group, such as the NRA example above. You will most likely need to evaluate for yourself what the group’s position would be, based on what you learn about the interest group.

  3. Write an article that could appear as a blog entry on the interest group’s website. This is an expository piece of writing, so be sure to write in the third person (do not use “I think” or “I believe” or similar phrases with “I”). You may find it helpful to complete thisActivity on Expository Writing before you begin your article.
    Make sure your article addresses:
    • name and purpose of the interest group, and any key individuals
    • origins of the interest group, including how it was formed and how it has grown or changed over time
    • whether it has ties to political parties or other interest groups
    • description of the specific policy or court decision
    • rationale for the interest group’s position on the policy or court decision
  4. Cite the sources of your information in MLA Format. Include your sources with your article when you submit it to your instructor.

Unit I Research Project Marketing Plan 

In application of the concepts learned in this course, you will research an EXISTING publicly traded company compiling a comprehensive marketing plan for this company throughout the course. Note that this is NOT a hypothetical entrepreneurial venture but instead an existing publicly traded company, of your choice. Utilizing the CSU Online Library, you will research the various elements of the marketing plan as it relates to this company. In Unit I you will provide a Company Overview and a PEST Analysis.

 Company Overview This section will provide the reader with a general understanding of the company and product/service offered by the company creating the value proposition for the customer. You might include general information about the company and industry and product/service. Additional general information might include the size of company, location, NAISC code, mission/vision/objectives, or any other general information about the company.

 PEST Analysis The purpose of this section of the marketing plan is to describe how changes in the business environment will affect the company. This will be achieved by the use of the PEST Analysis, which attempts to review how changes in the political/legal environment will affect your company, how changes in the economic environment will affect the company, how changes in the socio-cultural environment will affect your company, and finally, how changes (advancements) in technology will affect your company.

 Your submission should be a minimum of two pages in length, double-spaced with a reference page and title page. References should include at least one additional, credible reference beyond the textbook. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and cited per APA guidelines. Include the use of subheadings (this week consider using Company Overview and PEST Analysis).

 To determine the company you would like to research you may want to do a general search for “existing publicly traded company” or “publicly traded company list”. If you have questions about what a publicly traded company is or if the company you have chosen will work for this assignment please reach out to your professor. If you need assistance with utilizing the CSU Online Library, please reach out to the CSU Online Library and a Librarian will assist you.

Reflection-on-the-peer-review-process-English-homework-help

/in /by

Write: Based on the feedback you received in Week Three during the peer-review process, as well as the feedback you received from your instructor and your classmates throughout the course, address the following in your post:

  • Describe the main areas of your paper that you need to work on as well as areas that your reviewers felt you did well on.
  • How will/did you remedy any areas of weakness in your paper?
  • Did your reviewer feel you did a solid job addressing your purpose in the personal essay?
  • Did you effectively reach your audience? Why, or why not?

The peer review is below:

GENERAL

§  What did the writer do well in the essay?  Please be specific.

This writer has a clear essay with some good details to support his main idea. The writer kept my attention throughout the essay by keeping things simple and descriptive.

THESIS

§  How does the writer indicate that it will be a personal essay? Is there a clear thesis?  Describe how features of the essay and thesis work and/or need work. 

Because the writer is writing based upon his personal experience with the park, I feel that the essay is personal. The thesis is clear and it gives actual facts about the location at which the writer is talking about. The thesis is about Yellowstone Park and the feature describes the park from the size to what’s in it. This essay tells me how the park looks, how special it is and how attached the writer is to it.

§  Do all major points relate back to the thesis statement? In short, does the writer seem to go off topic in places? If so, how?  (In other words, is the paper unified and are all points related?)  If not, suggest ways to correct.

Yes, the writer kept everything based on just Yellowstone Park and he stays on the thesis though out the essay.

ORGANIZATION/STRUCTURE

§  List the use of transition words and phrases that show chronology or shifts in topic.  Are additional transitions needed?  If so, where?

I wouldn’t say that the essay is in chronology order but it may shift because of the words he used such as he likes the park, first because of the size, and then he jumps to consequently. Overall I think he did a job.

§  Indicate where the writer uses features like concrete language, tone, or abstract language effectively. 

In the essay second and third paragraphs, the writer uses concrete language to describe what he saw about the park.

§  Does the writer provide enough description, dialogue or narration so that you can

easily infer the thesis or controlling idea for the essay?  Where might the writer include more dialogue, narration, or description?

Yes, there were a lot of descriptions throughout this essay I don’t think the writer needs to add any more.

EDITING

§  Suggest at least one item the writer might add to this essay.

More details about why you choose this topic other than the description of the park.

§  Suggest at least one item the writer might remove from this essay.

I wouldn’t remove anything and I enjoyed it.

CONCLUSION

§  Is the concluding paragraph effective?  If so, why?  If it is not effective, what can be done?

It is effective but the writer needs to add more information as to why he suggests the readers visit this park. The conclusion needs to be pop a little more to leave the Yellowstone Park on their minds.

Overview and Guidelines

From Understanding and Managing Diversity by Harvey and Allard. 

An important part of our course is researching information on diversity and multiculturalism and its social, cultural, and ethical impact upon individual citizens, groups of people, and society at large.  In the twenty-first century, Web sites are an important channel of communication between organizations and their external stakeholders. If an organization is serious about its commitment to diversity, one would expect that this would be reflected in the design, content, and graphics of the Web site. Potential employees, customers, suppliers, etc., often turn first to a Web site before initiating interaction with an organization. If diversity is really integral to the mission and values of an organization, information on diversity should be easily accessible, informative, and well integrated into the Web site.

You will select a specific company in an industry such as healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing government, education, sports, etc. Then, prepare a report on the following:

  1. Evaluate how accessible diversity-related material is on this Web site. Is there a direct link from the home page? What type of results does entering the term “diversity” in a search box yield? Or, do you have to explore on your own? Sometimes searching under “careers” or “press releases” may produce some diversity-related results. On some Web sites, you will have to explore deeply into Web pages to find material related to diversity. What does this say about the organization’s commitment to diversity?
  2. Evaluate the usefulness of the diversity information to potential employees, customers, and suppliers. Is the diversity material related to the organization’s business case for diversity, core values, mission, etc. the way that the organization does business? How current is the diversity-related material?
  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of the photographs and graphic material that relates to diversity. Some Web sites will feature photographs of diverse employees and customers, yet not link this material to the verbal content. Some reuse the same pictures on different pages, etc.
  4. Assume that you are a) a potential employee, b) a potential customer and c) a potential supplier or subcontractor. What perceptions might you have about this organization’s commitment to diversity based solely on the Web site? Looking at this Web site, do you think that it encourages or discourages diverse employees to apply for jobs in this organization? Why or why not?
  5. What internal management issues can affect the prominence that diversity gets or doesn’t get on an organization’s Web site?
  6. Are there any diversity awards listed on the Web site? If so, review the criteria and selection process as presented in the Allard article on awards (from the textbook) or if the award is not mentioned in that article. Evaluate the value of the award through the sponsoring organization’s Web site.
  7. If you were a (female, over 55, racial minority, person with a physical challenge, gay or lesbian, etc.) job applicant and you have read an ad for job opening for which you are fully qualified.  Based on your audit of the company web site what perceptions might you have of this company before you even walk in the door? Would you still apply for the job? Why or why not?

You will submit the report in three sections throughout the course, with a due date for each section. These due dates are posted on the Course Schedule.

The Course Project should be 6-8 pages in length.  Your 4 relevant scholarly/peer reviewed sources may include your textbook and books and articles obtained through the DeVry library. Credible articles from news, government (.gov), or academic (.edu) websites can also be used; acceptable examples include NPR, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Business Week. Do not use Wikipedia and similar encyclopedia websites, such as about.com or “cheat” websites like coursehero or chegg. Please review the detailed instructions for each phase of the project, which you can find in the Assignment tab for that week. Your project will be graded as follows.

  • Week 2: Students will submit the research paper topic proposal. 45 points
  • Week 4: Students will submit the reference list and outline of their research paper. 100 points
  • Week 8: Students will submit the final version of their research paper. 200 points
