Determining Group Rationale

Determining Group Rationale

Write a 750-1,000-word paper that addresses the following: When to form literacy groupings for the class. How the groupings will support individual and collaborative learning, encourage social interaction, and self-motivation. How the groupings create environments that support individual and collaborative learning and that encourage positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation. How to use a variety of classroom configurations to differentiate instruction. If the opportunity did not present itself to share with the classroom teacher ideas, suggestions, and strategies, address those issues in the reflection. Use 5-7 scholarly sources

Romeo and Juliet

Write a short essay (1600 words) that defends a thesis you developed through a close critical reading/analysis of one (or two) literary works and supported by at least 3 secondary sources. This essay relies mainly on textual support from the primary text but includes at least 3 secondary source that supports/sustains the student’s argument. Do not confuse “critical analysis” with “plot summary”; the goal is to develop, sustain, and advance a thesis based on a critique of the primary text but supported in part by at least 3 secondary sources.

Political Science-Research Skills

Description

Data Analysis Paper Structure: The paper must follow this specific structure. You must label each section of your paper as such: • Introduction. This section introduces your reader to the topic, provides a sense of why the topic is important and includes a detailed thesis statement. Your thesis statement must: specify your hypothesis, mention what data you are using, and include a summary of your findings. For example: In this paper I study the relationship between sunlight and plant growth. Using an original dataset, I test the hypothesis that as sunlight increases plants grow at a faster rate. Findings are consistent with expectations. This study shows that plants grow faster when exposed to sunlight. • Literature Review: an organized review of previous studies on your chosen topic. This is not a summary of prior studies, but an analysis that leads the reader to understand what your contribution will be. Your literature review must include a minimum of 5 scholarly sources, these must be academic journal articles or academic books. Reports from other sources are not scholarly sources and do not meet this criterion. See the earlier lessons on how to write a literature review. • Data and Methods—this is the core of your paper (describe your hypotheses, data, and methods). You must describe how you obtained the dataset and where it comes from, cite accordingly. For example, first you would state your hypothesis. Then, describe the data. Next, present your statistical model (see the lesson on Bivariate regression, this is your Y= α + βX +μi, describe the variables, explain how these are coded and also how you recoded them. Note that unless you are creating your own dataset, you must recode your variables. Then, describe your method, which in this case is bivariate regression analysis—a statistical model. • Results. This is the section where you interpret the findings—it’s one of the most important sections of your paper. In this section you need to interpret the regression output, explain the magnitude and direction of the coefficient (is it consistent with expectations?), are the results significant? If the results are not significant, what might we take away from the analysis? Are the findings substantively significant? What might improve this model? • Discussion/Conclusion (In the discussion explain what we take away from these findings. In the conclusion you might discuss how the results fit within the literature, the contribution made, and you should provide thoughts on what further research should be conducted to study this question.

Diffusion networks or change agents/opinion leaders

Format An individual project that will take the form of an essay. Overview This project combines elements of Units 6 – 9, covering diffusion networks, change agents and opinion leaders, innovation consequences, and large-scale/societal implications. Instructions Identify a large-scale innovation that has been introduced within the last fifteen (15) years. Please avoid choosing an innovation that is a communication or computing technology. Remember, it can be a new idea, practice, behavior, etc. Be creative and surprise us! Once you have identified the innovation: Introduce the innovation by providing a brief, 1 – 2 paragraph summary of its history, use(s), key features, etc. If it helps to visually depict the innovation, feel free to do so in the report; however, limit the total number of images to no more than two (2) and keep them small. Images should not significantly take up writing space. Then, analyze either the role that diffusion networks or change agents and opinion leaders played in the innovation’s spread. Then, assess the positive and negative consequences of the innovation using a perspective of your choice (e.g., direct – indirect). Lastly, evaluate the possible long term societal implications of your chosen innovation. You may have to speculate here, but do more than just predict – also evaluate your predictions. Conclude with a brief paragraph that summarizes the main points of your analysis. Requirements Submissions are to be typed, double-spaced, with 11 or 12 point font, and 1-inch margins. Length is 1250-2750 words, plus the reference list. Within the body of the paper, use headings to organize the content.

Don’t just give it the title, “Project 2”) Your name Course prefix and number Date Reference page (this is the last page of the paper) Must include a minimum of four (4) outside sources to support the main points of the paper. One source for each section of the paper, excluding the conclusion. The sources must be from credible organizations, such as academic, professional, news, or governmental groups. Basic format for the reference list should be: Author (year), Article name, URL or Journal/ Magazine/ Book name; example:

Discuss Factor of Safety and why it is an important concept in Aviation Safety

Please answer each question separately

1. Discuss Factor of Safety and why it is an important concept in Aviation Safety. Provide an example and discuss design tradeoffs which would likely need to be considered.

2. Fatigue is a time dependent failure. Select a part of an aircraft that will be subjected to this mode and explain how this might be reduced or accommodated with design and maintenance. You must explain in detail the material properties affected and why.

3. How does the cross-section, length and material properties of a beam affect buckling? Include the concept of “slenderness ratio” in your response. For a circular column of length “l” and radius “r”, the slenderness ratio is equal to (l/r). 4. Briefly discuss 5 structural and mechanical design factors as they apply to airworthiness and crashworthiness.

5. An aircraft with two main spars has a tapered design for the depth and chord length from root to tip. How does this affect the bending and torque resistance on the wing and how do modern manufactures ensure the strength meets the theory predicted?
