Article Critique

Use the CSU Online Library to locate and review a scholarly article found in a peer reviewed journal related to analyzing work, designing jobs, HR planning, or recruiting. In peer reviewed journals, the articles were reviewed by other professionals in the field to ensure the accuracy and quality of the article, which is ideal when writing an Article Critique. Research Tip: When researching using the databases, you can limit your search to only peer reviewed articles. To do this, look for the phrase “limit results,” and select “peer reviewed articles.” Once you have selected your article, follow the below criteria: There is a minimum requirement of 500 words for the article critique.  Write a summary of the article. This should be one to three paragraphs in length, depending on the length of the article. Include the purpose for the article, how research was conducted, the results, and other pertinent information from the article. Discuss the meaning or implication of the results of the study that the article covers. This should be one to two paragraphs. This is where you offer your opinion on the article. Discuss any flaws with the article, how you think it could have been better, and what you think it all means.  Write one paragraph discussing how the author could expand on the results, what the information means in the big picture, what future research should focus on, or how future research could move the topic forward. Discuss how knowledge in the area could be expanded. Cite any direct quotes or paraphrases from the article. Use the author’s name, the year of publication and the page number (for quotes) in the in-text citation. Use APA format.

Topic/Title—“In Dreams: Surrealism and the Human Condition”

The 20th century bore witness to the emergence of a trend towards art that explored the human condition—art that explored human psychology with bizarre, irrational, and nonsensical ideas and images.  Such ideas and images are usually associated with our dreams and nightmares (our subconscious experiences).  You will write an essay on this trend.  To do so, you must follow these criteria:

Focus your attention on the Surrealists—an early 20th-century group of artists who created fantastical, bizarre, and irrational art.  You must explain Surrealism’s artistic agenda and pay particular attention to what the Surrealists intended to say with their art.  You must also explain why the strange works of art produced by the Surrealists were timely—what they said about culture and society during the early 20th century.  Do not forget to cite specific artists and their works of art.  You cannot successfully write about this topic unless you do so.

What were the effects of the policies implemented in reaction to the crisis?

Contemporary Economic Issues @ Prof Xavier

Deliverable Length:  800–1,000 words

 

The financial crisis of 2008 caused macroeconomists to rethink monetary and fiscal policies. Economists, financial experts, and government policy makers are victims of what former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan called a “once in a century credit tsunami”—in other words, nobody saw it coming.

 

Based on the analysis of the data, share your thoughts on what caused the financial crisis and whether the United States is going in the right or wrong direction with its current policies.

Focus specifically on the following:

  • Monetary policy
    • What monetary policies do you think caused the crisis?
    • What were the effects of the policies implemented in reaction to the crisis?
    • Do you think the solutions worked in the short term? In the long term?
  • Fiscal policies
    • What fiscal policies do you think caused the crisis?
    • What were the effects of the fiscal policies implemented in reaction to the crisis?
    • Do you think the solutions worked in the short term? In the long term?

Make sure you include the following concepts in your analysis:

  • Interest rates
  • The financial services industries (CDOs, CMOs, the stock market, credit flows, money markets, etc.)
  • Tax rebates
  • Stimulus
  • TARP
  • Government debt and deficit
  • Inflation
  • Unemployment
  • GDP

In your opinion, did government intervention help or harm the economy before and after the panic of 2008? Would you have done anything differently?

Identifying an Ethical Problem

PHI-204-2277-Ethics and Values-12/2015
Assignment : W1 – Phase One: Identifying an Ethical Problem
Category : Written
Due Date : Dec 23, 2015 11:55 PM MST
Detail : Your weekly journal assignments and final writing assignment for this course will be conducting a project in “Professional Practices in Ethics.” Its purpose is to apply classroom concepts to real problems in your present and future professional life. During the class, you’ll be identifying an ethical dilemma from the work place, apply classroom concepts to working through, do your own research and propose a solution. Each week, you’ll work on a different part of the project, and report on your progress in your journal. At the end of the course, you’ll be writing a memo proposing a solution to this problem.

Phase One: Identifying an Ethical Problem

Using the format from the Ethicist column in The New York Times (and discussed in the first week’s Professional Practices), identify two ethical problems and write them out, remaining neutral in presenting the problem and framing what you think the relevant concerns are. Each of these should be at least 100 words. Step One: Practice with a personal example. We’re going to use a professional example for the course, but start by thinking of a dilemma in a personal context. Real dilemmas are best for this, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be something that you faced personally. It could be a dilemma that you’re aware of but needs to be something that you’re comfortable sharing with someone you trust. Write out the problem in the same format that we saw in the advice problems (you are the person seeking advice here), and then read it out loud to someone you trust. Solicit the following feedback from him or her:

● After hearing your explanation, does he or she understand what the dilemma is?

● Does he or she feel that you presented the dilemma in a non-prejudicial way (leaving bias out of your account)?

● What questions, if any, does this person have? Is additional information that you didn’t provide needed to make sense of the problem?

Step Two: Now that you’ve tried a personal example, take the same concept and apply it to a dilemma that has arisen in your place of work. This will be the problem that you’ll be working with throughout the course, so think carefully about where you think the trickiest dilemmas you’ve faced lie. By the end of the course, you’ll be writing a memo proposing a solution to the problem. As with the practice step, read this aloud to someone you trust and solicit feedback from them.

After hearing your explanation, does he or she understand what the dilemma is?

● Does he or she feel that you presented the dilemma in a non-prejudicial way (leaving bias out of your account)?

● What questions, if any, does this person have? Is additional information needed that you didn’t provide to make sense of the problem?

In your journal, please include your questions and summarize and reflect on your work.

   

Week 1 Assignment Tips For Success:

You’ll want to organize your paper in two parts. I would start my paper with the personal dilemma first and then move on to the work/professional dilemma. Here is an example of how I might format/organize my paper to address all the content pieces.

I encountered a personal dilemma recently. (Here’s where I’d describe the scenario which can be fiction, embellished from a situation you’ve heard of, non-fiction, etc.) My coworker said she ran into a friend of mine. She explained that the friend said she was divorcing her husband. This was news to me as I had seen the friend recently and she had not said anything. The coworker also implied that my friend may have been interested in my coworker’s friend. Not long after this conversation. My coworker approached me and said that the friend had texted her and asked her not to tell me about the “divorce thing”. My husband and I are friends with both the husband and wife in this situation. I decided to run this situation by with a friend that did not know any of the people involved. After explaining the situation this is what I asked:

  • After hearing your explanation, does he or she understand what the dilemma is? My friend answered…(this is where you expand on what the friend said)
  • Does he or she feel that you presented the dilemma in a non-prejudicial way (leaving bias out of your account)? My friend said…(this is where you expand and discuss)
  • What questions, if any, does this person have? Is additional information that you didn’t provide needed to make sense of the problem? After discussing with my friend these are her questions: blah blah blah

I would go on to address the second dilemma on an issue in the workplace in a similar way while addressing the questions bulleted under the workplace dilemma area of the assignment details. You do not need to format your paper exactly like my example, this is just a suggestion so that you address all the content pieces. Additionally, this example is not complete (I did not supply answers to the questions). You’ll need to fully address the assignment details.

Phase Two:  Consequentialist Analysis

We have covered how we can use thought experiments and consequentialist analysis in order to make sense of ethical dilemmas. In phase two, you’ll apply those tools to your professional practice problem.

Step One: Make a list that identifies all relevant moral actors in your dilemma.  This could include (for example) supervisors, co-workers, or clients.  Don’t forget to include yourself.

Step Two: Tentatively propose two courses of action. (This should be very brief, one or two sentences each.)

Step Three: Carry out a consequentialist analyses of each moral action.  For everyone on your list in step one, what are the likely benefits and harms of each course of action?  What are possiblebenefits and harms of each course of action?  What are unlikely but remotely possiblebenefits and harms of each course of action?

Step Four: Reflect on a consequentialist analysis: does one course of action obviously win?  Are there any other courses of action which could further maximize benefit while minimizing harm?

Save this work, because you’ll be using it to write your final memo.

Include the work in your journal, along with a summary and reflection on this part of the assignment.

Week 2’s Assignment Tips for Success

To Start: Paste your work/professional dilemma from week 1 into your week 2 assignment Word document.

Then list below it all the relevant moral actors in the work/professional dilemma from week 1.

Next, tentatively propose two courses of action that could be taken in relation to the dilemma. (This should be very brief, one or two sentences each.) For each action, carry out a consequentialist analyses. Make note of those on your moral actors list. Address the following: what are the likely benefits and harms of each course of action? What are possible benefits and harms of each course of action? What are unlikely but remotely possible benefits and harms of each course of action?

Finally, reflect on your consequentialist analysis: does one course of action obviously win? Are there any other courses of action which could further maximize benefit while minimizing harm?

*This assignment is informal: it does not require references and you may write in first person.

 

In the third and fourth weeks, we covered concepts related to the ideas of rights and duties. In phase three of our professional practice, we’ll apply those tools to your professional practice problem.

Review your list of all relevant people in your scenario from Week 2. Should anyone be added or removed?

List the rights that each of those people had in this situation. For example, a person in your scenario may have the right to confidentiality.

Rephrase the rights of the person above into a corresponding duty you have.  For example, where the person above has a right to confidentiality, your duty might be to ensure that person’s right to privacy.

Identify any rights and duties that conflict with each other and discuss why they conflict. If none conflict, note that in your paper.

Summarize what you learned this week for this assignment and how this information may affect your final project.

Format your paper using the West Assignment Template, and the guidelines in the West Writing Style Handbook.

 

What are some methodological considerations that you must attend to in writing an oral history?

Oral History Essay African American Studies.

Must follow instructions exactly as described also must review grading rubric before starting which will be provided. Must be willing to send preview two days prior to due date. 

Overview

For this essay, you will need to interview a person who experienced one of the historical events listed below. From your interview, you will write an analytical essay to relate the interview and its historical context.

Instructions

Follow these instructions to complete your essay:

  1. Choose an individual to collect an oral history of their experiences of one or more of the historical events listed below (remember, these can overlap depending on the time). This individual can be a family member, a friend, a community member, an educator or anyone else who lived through or has direct knowledge about this selected time and its legacies:
    1. Living under Jim Crow
    2. The Great Migration
    3. The Civil Rights Movement
  2. Follow these guidelines when collecting your oral history:
    1. Be clear in your own mind what you want to find out.
      • Only conduct your interview after you have completed the associated learning module so you know a little more about your subject of inquiry. Bring along or share other sources of information that you have, such as news clippings, photographs, or course readings. Also, ask your source to bring anything they can share with you, such as a scrapbook, a photo album, or other important media. These materials can help spark memories or deepen the conversation.
    2. Acquire Informed Consent.
      • Please make sure you explain to the interviewee prior to the conversation the purpose of the interview, what you hope to accomplish, and that you will only use what is spoken about for the oral history essay you have been assigned for class. Tell them why you selected them and what you hope to find out. Then explicitly as for their verbal permission or consent to undertake the interview. You are required to keep the conversation anonymous and not share any of the information to anyone other than your instructor via your essay. If you choose to use a tape recorder, you must ask for permission to record the conversation and once you have used the data obtained from the recording, you must destroy the content of the recording. Again, you are only allowed to use this information for the purposes of this class assignment.
    3. Create a list of questions to use as a guide.
      • Use open-ended questions rather than general questions that can only be answered by “yes” or “no”. For example, “What are some of the things that you can remember happening to you at school?” NOT “Do you remember what happened to you this school year?” These questions are meant to help prompt your source to begin discussing their experiences.
    4. You do not have to follow your list exactly.
      • Undertaking a semi-structured interview means that you only use your list of questions as a guide. Anticipate that the conversation will flow organically out of these questions, but may go in a different direction than you originally intended. It is important that you learn from the information being conveyed to you so some interesting items will emerge that you might not have thought to ask about. Of course, if the conversation gets seriously off topic, then you can bring it back using another question on your list.
    5. You do not have to write everything that is said.
      • It is important not to distract yourself with writing down every word that the interviewee says, but rather to take short notes to remind yourself about what was said after the interview is over. Sit down and write out what the person said as soon after the interview as possible. Remember to also right notes about your own impressions, feelings, and reflections about what was said. If you have access to a tape recorder you can use it during the interview and transcribe what was said later, again not necessarily transcribing each and every word that was said, but point to things that made an impression on you.
  3. Write an analytical essay about your oral history. Your essay must include all of the following components, in no particular order:
    1. In Module Two, Paul E. Lovejoy introduces us to the importance of methodology in the consideration of African American histories.
      1. You must provide the context for your interview by framing the historical period/moment in your own words, drawing from your knowledge gained in the course. Please cite all sources used.
      2. Position your oral history as a text that contributes to the production of knowledge within African American Studies. What do oral histories offer us as we attempt to redress the silence of African American experiences within the dominant canon of U.S. history? How can oral histories be viewed as a “revisionist” approach to the historical study of Jim Crow, the Great Migration, and/or the Civil Rights Movement?
      3. What are some methodological considerations that you must attend to in writing an oral history? Do you focus on demographic details in determining the why, when, and how of individual lives? Do you focus on geography and the spatial aspects of social relationships? To what extent might you weave into the story biographical accounts? A sociological analysis of the process by which individuals formed new communities and new identities? How might you “unpack” the use of categories and labels “in context”? How might you manage the problem of chronology and time? (Please review Lovejoy’s discussion and Chapter Two lecture presentation, as well as the WPA Slave Narratives readings).
    2. You must then share the selected parts of your oral history that stood out or made an impression on you. Tell us a bit about your interviewee and the experience s/he shared with you. What new information did you learn? How has your understanding of the topic deepened? Be specific.
      1. Use Chapter Three of CG Fleming’s Soon We Will Not Cry as a model for how to write from an oral history. You must analyze the information gained through applying concepts, ideas, and arguments encountered in the course.
      2. Reflect upon what you learned from undertaking an oral history? Why do you think oral histories are important to your understanding of the topic at hand? What did you learn that no academic reading could teach you?
    3. To what extent does your oral history help to correct the largely absent “herstory” of African American Studies? Beverly Guy-Sheftal urges “a new angle of vision” and “new questions” to be asked when taking a black feminist approach to African American Studies. What new questions might offset the dominant conceptual frameworks that have been shaped by a “hegemonic black nationalist discourse” that conceptualizes black liberation as heavily focused on “recuperating black manhood, constructing patriarchal families, and ending racism,” while at the same time silencing other intersecting forms of oppression (gender, class, sexuality)? Can you provide an analysis for how gender, race, and class intersect in the experience of your interviewee?
    4. Please attach a bibliography and your list of questions as an appendix to your final essay (Note: not included in the 7 page minimum).
  4. Format your essay according to these guidelines:
    • Length: 5-7 pages
    • Line spacing: double-spaced
    • Font: 12-point Times New Roman
    • Margins: 1-inch
    • Footer and/or header: include your name and page numbers
    • Bibliography: follow the APA Formatting and Style Guide; this is not included in the page minimum.
    • File format: .doc or .docx
    • File name: “yourname_essay2”

Discuss your impressions and perceptions of the satire or handout.

What if a programmer wanted to add a new command?

Explain these Programs to me

Prepare formal documentation of the code:

Must be at minimum 2 pages and explain the code of these 2 programs.

Expectations:

This guide will explain the design and structure of the program itself. Describe how it works on an internal level. This is a guide a programmer might use, so you want to consider the use cases that relate to a programmer. What if a programmer wanted to add a new command? How about a new program operation? etc.. The information contained within should give a programmer a good idea of which parts of the program provide specific functionality, and how that functionality is implemented. You don’t want to go down to the level of describing the code itself in words, but you do want to describe any important algorithms in detail, and at least generalize how things work. The overall guidance here is to leave out details about how to run or use the program, and just talk about how the program actually does its job.

Attachments:

Discuss the types of documents you are likely to obtain for further study as well as the types of documents that most likely will not be available.
