2. Student papers must include a minimum of two scholarly sources in addition to the primary literary text(s).

3. All papers are expected to be in MLA format with a Works Cited Page. If you have forgotten MLA paper and citation formatting, you can find information in a writing handbook or at the Purdue OWL:

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/

4. The final draft of this paper must be submitted to Turnitin.com by December 18th.

Expectations:

Our book has a section on writing about fiction (pp. 14-59). You might want to take a look at some or all of this material.
• Review the material on “Writing about Literature” in our book on pages 2269-2329, especially “Chapter 37: The Research Essay” and “Chapter 38: Quotation, Citation, and Documentation.”

Essay Prompts: Choose one of the follow prompts for your literary analysis paper.

Option #1:
Write a paper in which you analyze the family dynamics in the Younger family. Choose one family relationship (brother-sister, mother-daughter-in-law, etc.) and discuss how race and class affect the way this relationship works.

Option #2:
Write an essay in which you discuss Irene and Clare’s relationship. How do you see their friendship? The criticism in the book along with other material found in the book will be very helpful in analyzing their complicated relationship.

After you have read about biblical theology, written your understanding of what theology is and where it happens from the perspective of biblical theology, and worked on the other assignments for this section, please conclude your week’s work by reflecting on what you perceive to be both the merits and the risks of doing biblical theology.

Identify three characteristics of biblical theology that you see as strengths/benefits of this method. And identify three characteristics that you see as weaknesses/risks of this method.

Support each of these with evidence from your readings. Use specific quotes from the readings and engage with them thoughtfully as you assess the strengths and weaknesses of this method.

Company is Samsung Galaxy Electronics

1. How does your company’s prices compare to competitors who sell the same or similar products? Overall, does your company’s prices seem high or low?
2. Do you think your company is basing their pricing mostly on cost (such as a cost-plus approach) or are other factors at play? Consider the concepts of prestige pricing in D’Antonio (2012) or value-based pricing mentioned in the Pearson tutorial.
3. Discuss at least three other pricing strategies from D’Antonio (2012), Paley (2006), or the Pearson tutorial and explain whether or not you think your company is using these strategies. Explain your reasoning, and remember to cite the sources where you read about the pricing strategies from in your answer.

* D’Antonio, L. (2012). Chapter 10: Pricing. In Bolland, E., & Fletcher, F. (Eds.). Solutions: Business Problem Solving. Abingdon, GBR: Ashgate Publishing Ltd.[Ebrary]

For each recommendation, make sure to explain your reasoning and to cite one of the required background readings in support of your recommendation:

1. A company has developed a new 3D television with outstanding displays. The company has a patent on a new technology that doesn’t require glasses to see the 3D effect and has a display far better than those of any competitor’s 3D televisions. The company still has to compete with other television manufacturers, but because of the patent and superior technology it is likely to have a large advantage in the 3D television market for at least a year or two.
2. A brand new company has developed a new dishwater detergent which is comparable to other major brands in quality, but the company has developed a new manufacturing technology that over a period of time should be able to produce detergent at a cheaper cost than any competitor. The cost of the new manufacturing equipment was high, but once the equipment is paid off it should be very cheap to produce each bottle of detergent.
3. You have just opened up a new electronics shop and Apple will be releasing their latest iPhone in a few days. You are confident that once customers come into your shop they will be impressed with your large selection and knowledgeable and friendly sales staff and will become loyal customers. However, given the nearby location of Best Buy and other popular electronics shops it will be a challenge to get customers into your shop. So the first big pricing decision you have to make is what to charge for iPhones.
4. You have started a new fashion company, and your partner in this business is one of the top designers in Italy. You and your business partner’s plan is to become known as one of the premier manufacturers and designers of blue jeans in the world, and hope to have a very high end brand well known among the wealthy and fashion conscience.

The format of this assignment is similar to that of the previous case assignment, as you will again be giving recommendations based on a series of situations that a company might face. Of course, make sure to thoroughly review the background materials and make sure you have a strong familiarity with the five main promotional strategies and advantages, disadvantages, and challenges of each. You should also familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of different types of media.

For each of the following situations below, give a recommendation for A) which one or two of the five main promotional strategies should the company emphasize, and B) one or two types of media should the company emphasize in their promotions, and C) at least one reference from the background materials in support of your recommendations. Your paper should be four to five pages in length:

1. A company has developed some advanced new animation software for use in making professional quality animated television shows and movies. This company’s customers will be small in number overall – the major movie and television studios, a few independent studios, and some of the larger animation schools.
2. A new toy has come out shortly before Christmas which is based on a popular TV show for kids. The producer of the toy is hoping for big sales during the holiday season, as Christmas is when they make most of their profits for the year. But due to licensing issues they had faced delays in releasing the product and only have a short time before Christmas to get the word out about their new toy.
3. A major food manufacturer is planning to come out with a brand new fiber drink designed to promote colon and intestinal health. The target market is senior citizens.
4. You are running a small airline that connects a few regional cities. Your sales are generally high which indicates that there is a strong market for flights that connect these cities. However, your research department has found that you have a low rate of repeat customers compared to similar airlines.

Course Project: Community Advocacy Project—Health Policies

To prepare for this section of the Course Project:

• Review the Windome et al. article. Reflect on the authors’ seven lessons and how the lessons apply to advocacy work and policy formation.
• Consider existing policies that impact the public health issue (TOBACCO USE) you selected in Week 1.. For instance, if you have identified tobacco use as an issue within your community, think about community policies that would curtail tobacco use such as tobacco-free zones and high taxes on tobacco products.
• View the media titled “Improving Public Health Policy.” Think about new policies that might be enacted to address your selected public health issue. These policies must be able to be implemented. Do not suggest, for instance, that smoking should be made entirely illegal.
• Identify potential stakeholders in the development and passage of ideas for health policy change within your community.

The Project (1–2 pages)
To complete this section of your Course Project, address the following:
• Describe existing policies that impact your selected public health issue (TOBACCO USE). Explain whether these existing policies are adequate or need to be revised based on their strengths and limitations, and why.
• Describe new policies that you consider important for addressing your selected public health issue, and explain why.
• Describe potential stakeholders in the development and passage of ideas for public health policy change within your community, and explain why their role is important.
Support your Project with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

2. Keyword evaluation. Select a minimum 5 keywords using Google AdWords Keyword Planner, and show their average monthly searches and competition level. Why did you select these keywords? While noting that individual results may vary, where does the website currently rank in terms of SERP (Search Engine Results Page and page position)? How do key competitors rank on the same keywords?

3. AIDA+ evaluation. In your opinion, how well does the current website create Awareness of the brand and product/service it offers; create Interest in readers to find out more; create Desire for the product/service; generate Action in terms of conversions (such as purchasing, registration, or business objective); and provide Satisfaction to current and past customers (customer service, post-purchase communications, etc.).

Assignment 1: Bottling Company Case Study

Imagine you are a manager at a major bottling company. Customers have begun to complain that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in your company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. Your boss wants to solve the problem at hand and has asked you to investigate. You have your employees pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant. You ask your employees to measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle. Note: Use the data set provided that has been uploaded to complete this assignment.
Write a three (3) page report in which you:
1. Thoroughly calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for ounces in the bottles.
2. Thoroughly construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the ounces in the bottles.
3. Thoroughly conduct a hypothesis test to verify if the claim that a bottle contains less than sixteen (16) ounces is supported. Thoroughly and clearly state the logic of your test, the calculations, and the conclusion of your test.
4. Thoroughly Provide the following discussion based on the conclusion of your test:
a. If you conclude that there are less than sixteen (16) ounces in a bottle of soda, thoroughly speculate on three (3) possible causes. Next, thoroughly suggest the strategies to avoid the deficit in the future.
Or
b. If you conclude that the claim of less soda per bottle is not supported or justified, thoroughly provide a detailed explanation to your boss about the situation. Thoroughly include your speculation on the reason(s) behind the claim, and thoroughly recommend one (1) strategy geared toward mitigating this issue in the future.
Consistently use reasons and evidence that logically support ideas in order to obtain points towards the assignment.
