——————————————————————————–

When I grade your papers I will be considering these aspects:

Organization: as above.

Clarity: I should be able to understand you. You should not confuse or mystify me. Remember that I cannot read your mind.

Quotation: Your paper must contain at least 3 quotations, 1 from each story, chosen as support for the point(s) you’re trying to make. These quotations should be correctly done, in context, and demonstrate that you are accurate in your reading of the texts. For more about quoting, go to this link. Or this link

Proofreading and format: The paper should show that you have a command of the customs and conventions of written English.

All papers should be proofread, spell-checked, with your name in the upper left corner, and a title.

At the end of your paper, include a Works Cited list in MLA format.

Use of Sources: You do not have to use any other sources in the paper but the assigned texts and your own thoughts. But if you do use other sources, you must indicate them; when the wording is not your own, you must use quotation marks and cite your sources. Click here for more information: Documenting Internet Sources. Failure to cite sources is plagiarism; this will sink the paper.

Questions: ask questions, if you have them, in the Online Office. Everyone will benefit.

In the short story “Reunion,” Charlie feels that his father is his flesh and blood, his future and his doom. He knows that when he is grown he will be something like his father. He tells us: “I would have to plan my campaigns within his limitations”(Cheever).

How did the cost structure affect your pricing decisions?

Minor Project 2
.

Universal Rental Car Pricing Simulation

Minor Project 2 draws on the content knowledge gained from Periods 1-3.

Assignment

Write a report of no more than 2,000 words (not including tables and other appendixes) explaining your strategy, results, and observations from the special scenario of Universal Rental Car Pricing Simulation assigned for Minor Project 2. Design and format of the report are your choice. When quoting from or crediting references, use the Harvard style. This means that there will not be footnotes, and that citations/references are “worked into” the regular text. Please see a copy of the Harvard Business Review in the Regent Library databases for examples.

Content

The report should start with an overview of your strategy (its goals and any changes during the scenario), your results (did they meet expectations?), and an explanation of how your strategy, market conditions, and competitor behavior led to those results. The body of the report should answer/discuss the following questions and topics:
•Weekday vs. weekend demand. How did they differ? What are they a proxy for? How did their price responsiveness differ and why? How did you use this information in your pricing decisions?
•Cost structure. Describe the economics of this business. In what ways did you use the breakeven calculator? How did the cost structure affect your pricing decisions?
•Competitive price moves. What did you think the competition was doing? What kind of competitor were you up against? How intelligent was the competitor? On what do you base that assessment?
•General market conditions. Did you observe any patterns in overall market demand over the duration of the game? Explain. How would you characterize elasticity of demand in this market overall? Was it a good year or a bad year to be managing this business? Why?

Discusses and evaluates the contributions effectively.

i have got the feedback from the supervisor about the previous work, which i have attached to you down. now i would like to expand the work to reach 4000 words. i have attached the previous work that you have done it for me and the feedback on it.

This is an interesting and well-thought through proposal addressing the problem of racism and investigation of crimes related to racism in the UAE. The literature review covers an impressive range of academic journal articles, and discusses and evaluates the contributions effectively. It also makes clear the gap in respect of the UAE and why this may be a particularly important issue in that context. The methodology is helpful and identifies the main points as well as very relevant groups who may participate in the research. It could have been improved with more ‘nuts and bolts’ discussion as to who the research would be conducted as well as other possible methods of data collection.

Be careful in future submissions to always use formal academic writing, and avoid the use of informal language that includes writing as you might speak, clichés, and also pay attention to word choices: one of the world’s foremost [one of the foremost, and avoid possessive apostrophes other than for human beings], citizen [citizens] and rulers, bogged down [‘bogged down’ if you must use the cliché, otherwise find a way to write this formally],

Overall a very good essay. Note that items in [square brackets] refer to corrections and notes relating to corrections and identification of good practice in academic writing.

The researcher proposes to address the investigation of traffic accidents in the UAE. Apart from needing some more detail on the time frames associated with the statistics provided, the introduction offers a clear and concise overview of the issues.

This work was partly completed by you, i have got the feedback from the supervisor as stated down, and now we need to extend the work to 4000 words before we start the dissertation. i have attached the file that you have done before and down is the feedback from the supervisor.

The researcher proposes to address the investigation of traffic accidents in the UAE. Apart from needing some more detail on the time frames associated with the statistics provided, the introduction offers a clear and concise overview of the issues. This is followed by clear identification of appropriate and manageable research questions for masters’-level save one. The research question – To what extent do road traffic accidents in Abu Dhabi affect public health? – seems overbroad in the context of the proposed research. If the researcher can highlight any of these issues in the research that is a bonus, but the other three research questions seem more appropriate. The literature review is well structured with appropriate use of sub-headings that link to the research questions. The researcher invokes a helpful range of literature sources and makes effective use of graphics to demonstrate some trend data (though this is from a 2005 publication and thus a little dated, but interesting nonetheless). The methodology is generally well presented and offers useful discussion of methods literature. The author notes that quantitative research is also selected in this study because it enhances generalizability and facilitates easy data analysis [is the goal at masters’-level to engage in easy data analysis?]. At the same time, the researcher also includes the opportunity for some primary data collection involving a 100 participants and the use of a questionnaire. This primary data collection discussion would have benefited from more explicit elaboration and ‘nuts and bolts’ discussion of recruitment and sampling techniques, and there appears to be some methodological confusion. If the researcher collects informed consent from questionnaire respondents and they will receive the questionnaires via email and not be required to include their names … there is some confusion here as you need names or some other form of unique identifier to allow connection between the consent sheet and the data collected as this will be necessary to allow participants to withdraw their participation, and for you to remove their data if they choose to withdraw. road traffic accidents remain to be a global concern [road traffic accidents remain a global concern], traffic accidents in the UAE has declined by 23% [over what time frame, for statistics it is important to provide the time frame], UAE’s traffic regulations [UAE traffic regulations], fast driving [speeding, that is, to exceed the speed limit, or by fast driving do you mean something else like driving within the speed limit but too fast for conditions], Overall this work was presented to a very good standard. Note that items in [square brackets] refer to corrections and notes relating to corrections and identification of good practice in academic writing.
