1. The most dramatic philosophical conflict emergingfrom the texts of Heraclitus and Parmenidesoccurs in metaphysics (i.e., accounts of the nature of reality). Briefly(in a paragraph) describe thisconflict. Then assume that true realityconsists in a judicious blend of bothHeraclitus andParmenides. Develop this assumption by (A) identifying one dimension of reality[this dimension must be specified and described; also, whatconstitutesa dimension in this sense is left to thephilosophical imagination of the respondent]. Then (B) state properties or characteristics of thedimension chosen in such a waythat the reader can recognize in your account the influence of bothHeraclitus and Parmenides. Note: this question is NOT for the philosophically faint of heart!
2. Facts are public; values are private. This view is firmlyembedded in modern consciousness. Bycontrast, the position developed in Platos Republicdoes not recognizea dichotomybetween publicand private, especiallywith respect to (what are now called) moral values.Discussthis radicaldifference between ancient and contemporarythought byEITHER: (1) arguingthat a given moralvalue hasaprivate sphere of influence and actualization which cannot in anysense be found inanypublic context; OR(2) arguingthat a given moral value (assumed bythe contemporarymind tobe private) necessarily and ineradicably includes public (or political) considerations.
3. Accordingto the Republics epistemology, belief and knowledge differ because their respectiveobjects differ. Brieflydescribe this difference. Assume that the relevant contrast between belief andknowledge in the Platonic account is correct. Select eitherknowledge orbelief (but not both!) anddescribe what a human beingexperiences when he or she is functioningin the epistemological stateyou have selected. [N.B. Reflection on this psychological aspect of the Platonic epistemologywillclarifyand reinforce the legitimacy of the distinction between knowledge and belief.]4. The Allegoryof the Cave [Republic, VII]works on a number of levelsmetaphysical (degreesof reality), epistemological (how we know degrees of reality),and derivable implications for ethicaldecisions and choices with respect to the above. However, the primarystated purpose of the allegoryis educationalit displays the human condition with respect to how we should educate ourselves.Criticallyevaluate the relevance and force of the Allegoryfrom th perspectiveisolate oneelementof your major field (or analyze anycourse of interest) and discuss how implications from theAllegoryaffect either the content or the teachingof this course. [Note: the most effective responsewill integrate the Allegorys metaphysics at the highest level of its depiction of reality.]

Please use the uploaded file as a guide since it includes the directions for the paper. It is also important that this essay includes a counter-argument at the end of the paper when the argument is already well developed. I have also copy and paste part of the instructions below. Thanks.

Instructions:

For this literary analysis essay, you will choose and make an argument about how to interpret one of the specific questions/figures/moral dilemmas/literary formations (style, word choice, language usage) in David Henry Hwangs play, M. Butterfly or in one of Chitra Divakarunis poems. Shaping this argument will require the use of at least one outside source (please see MLA International Bibliography and/or JSTOR databases for such sources). Be sure to focus your discussion carefully upon a specific theme/figure/situation, as this is a literary essay, not a history essay.

Research support for your argument should come in the form of 1-2 secondary sources. Ideally, these sources should come from a Hellman Library database (JSTOR.org, Project Muse, Taylor & Francis, etc.) or from reliable online scholarly sources (GoogleScholar can be used). Any secondary sources used in class discussions are also welcome. You should seek out a source that gives an interpretation of something in the novel. A social history source is permitted only after you have used a piece of literary criticism. If you are uncertain, please check with the instructor.

Purpose of the Assignment:

The purpose of this assignment is twofold: first, to provide you with the opportunity to do a focused analysis of one student and second, to provide you with practice in using data gathering strategies that will help you learn essential information necessary in order to teach students effectively. I hope that this case study work will challenge your assumptions/beliefs about the learners in your class, their needs and capabilities.

Part 1: Description of student

Write-up a description of your case study child, using the following points to guide you:

Describe the students physical appearance.
Why did you choose this student as your case study? What behaviors does s/he exhibit that are of concern?

Part 2: Student Background

Some questions to consider:
Are there any health issues?
With whom does the child live?
Is the child new to the school? How long has the child gone to this school? Where was s/he
before- in other words, what is the childs school history?

How long has the child lived in this area?
Have there been any traumatic incidents in the childs life of which you are aware?
Has the child ever been retained?
Does the child have an IEP? If so, what are the recommendations for supporting him/her?
If the child has been at this school one or more years, talk to as many previous teachers as possible about their assessment of him/her, and strategies they used with him/her.

Part 3: Assessments Administered

Previous Assessments

What assessments have been administered? Discuss the outcomes. In this class we have
administered the San Diego Quick. Some different assessments that your school administers might be Acuity, STAR, DRA, etc.. Discuss the outcomes of those assessments.

What is the student’s learning style?

Part 4: What did you learn?

Analyze the data: What did you learn about this child and how s/he functions in the classroom? When does he seem to do best? When does s/he have the most difficulty? Anything you notice that triggers certain behaviors good or bad?

Final Case Study Paper: Summarize the information listed above into a case study paper and add any information listed below.

Description of your student: Give a detailed 1-2 paragraph summary description of this child.
(physical appearance, grade level, language, family context, age, culture etc.) why you chose him/her.

Summarize the strengths this student possesses as well as the issues you have identified that affect this students ability to succeed at school.
III. Analyze the possible implications of what you have learned for working most effectively with this child. What preventive, supportive, corrective strategies have you tried in which domains of classroom management (covenant, content, conduct)? How did they work? What do you now think would be the most helpful accommodations or interventions to support this student given what you have learned through your data gathering? Be sure to use evidence from the data you have gathered.

You can make up your own description if you need help let me know

PART 2 – One page
PART 3 – Two pages

Open book. Instructions are attached (Instructions – parts 2 & 3.docx). Since the and textbook and lecture notes are too big to upload on here, I uploaded it on Google Drive which should be very useful for this and you’ll need the lecture notes for the “Further thinking” questions.

Lecture notes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13MAkZq70C42suD4DyBZFz61mulRdZMAt/view

Textbook: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FvxBTjrh9E5TFIJCRNMDbhEbheqM96m2/view

For PART 2:
I organized all the lecture notes along with the further thinking questions so those will be easier to find. You can find them in the “Further thinking folder”. The professor said not to pick these questions however:
Module 2: Can you identify at least one example . . .
Module 3: What do these three major world religions . . .
Module 6: What do you think the religions of India . . .
Module 8: What is the most quintessentially Hindu . . .
Module 9: What comes to mind when you think . . .; Go to the above link and try your hand . . . [Note: you CAN use the second one IF you report your results AND you briefly reflect on how this may still be a relevant religious ritual in modern times]

I made sure not to include these questions in the Further thinking folder.

I don’t believe you should need to use sources aside from the notes and textbook but if you do, citations are usually in APA format for my courses.

For part 3, if it turns out you don’t think two pages is necessary for your answer, then having a little less than two pages is fine.

If you have any questions or confusions, feel free to contact me anytime and I’ll get back as soon as possible, thank you!

Cost and Pricing – Many businesses are offering their products and services over the Internet. Find a well-known company and determine the following:

A product (or service) description
A product price
Based on your responses to parts (1) and (2), along with the description of the company’s business, identify the potential costs that are required to provide the product selected in part (1) and categorize them as fixed or variable.
Which product do you believe has the largest contribution margin per incremental unit sold?
Describe at least two types of standard costs your selected company might use. Additionally, explain the types of direct and overhead variances each of your selected organizations might encounter. Provide an example of each.

Activity-Based Costing

Define activity-based costing (ABC) systems. What benefits does implementing an ABC system bring to the company? Explain at least two benefits.
What are the disadvantages of implementing an ABC system? List and explain at least two.
Would the proposed changes make ABC a universally applicable costing method in your opinion? Why or why not? Explain your answers.

Non-Financial Performance Many city and county governments are discovering that you can control only what you measure. As a result, many municipal governments are introducing non-financial performance measures to help improve municipal services. Use the Google search engine to perform a search for municipal government performance measurement. Google will provide a list of Internet sites that outline various city efforts in using nonfinancial performance measures.

Report on the types of measures used by one of the cities you found in your search. Provide a summary of what your research found.

Personal Investment Analysis Find the cost of a bachelor’s degree at the university of your choice; assume additional costs of $16,000 for an additional fifth year of education to get a master’s degree. Assume that all tuition is paid at the beginning of the year. A student considering this investment must evaluate the present value of cash flows from possessing a graduate degree versus holding only an undergraduate degree. Assume that the average student with an undergraduate degree is expected to earn an annual salary of $55,000 per year (assumed to be paid at the end of the year) for 10 years. Assume that the average student with a graduate master’s degree is expected to earn an annual salary of $76,000 per year (assumed to be paid at the end of the year) for nine years after graduation. Assume a minimum rate of return of 10%.

Determine the net present value of cash flows from an undergraduate degree. Use the present value table provided in Chapter 26.
Determine the net present value of cash flows from a master’s degree, assuming that no salary is earned during the graduate year of schooling.
What is the net advantage or disadvantage of pursuing a graduate degree under these assumptions?

The goal of this project is to test your knowledge of the basics of programming structures. More specifically, you will design your own algorithm using both pseudocode and a flowchart.

Think of some daily activities that you perform. You are going to prepare a plan and design an algorithm that can be translated into a program that would tell a computer how to do the activity you have chosen.

In paragraph form, describe in detail the big picture, the final goal, and the individual stages of your algorithm. If there are issues to overcome, write out possible solutions for each. Also, describe your inputs, outputs, decisions, and repetitions in the algorithm. Think about sequence when writing this out.
Using the standard notation for pseudocode that you have learned, write out the algorithm for the daily activity you have selected. Be sure to indent where required.Using your pseudocode from step two, create a flowchart of your algorithm. Utilize the correct symbols in your flowchart

Answer in 10 pages. This is an interpretive and open-ended question, which means there is no one place you can find the answer. Think about the entire course material as a whole. USE ONLY COURSE TEXTBOOKS and READINGS; NO INTERNET or SOCIAL MEDIA SOURCES ARE ALLOWED.

ALL DIRECT QUOTES AND CLOSE PARAPHRASING OF TEXTBOOKS AND READINGS MUST BE CITED. AVOID PLAGIARISM.

THE EXAM WILL BE GRADED ON COMPREHENSIVENESS (more rather than less examples), HISTORICAL ACCURACY (not exact dates but at least the decade in which your examples occurred, i.e. do not say something occurred in the 1820s when it happened in the 1860s or 1890s), STRUCTURE/ ORGANIZATION (introduction, body, and conclusion as part an argument), AND GRAMMAR (spell-check; proofread; edit before submitting). Exams with no name will be penalize.

Given that African Diaspora history is complex, diverse, and filled with many layers, explain how black leaders in different countries confronted white supremacy? How did they talk about oppression on the one hand, and envision freedom on the other? What solutions did they propose? Why were many of these leaders interested in other parts of the world?

(Addition from sender: This essay requires an MLA-style format, works cited, and in-text/parenthetical citations. Additionally, the essay must use at least half of the readings from the entire semester. There are around 40 readings from the entire semester, each about 40 pages in length. So, approximately half of those would need usage. I will provide PDFs of these readings if acceptable.)
