    100Begin by choosing a topic for your comparison/contrast essay. You are free to select your own topic, or you may use one of the sample topics listed below. However, you should choose a topic that you have knowledge of so that you have sufficient points of comparison or contrast to discuss in your essay. You will need to compare or contrast two or three primary points about the two subjects you choose to write about, resulting in an essay with either four or six body paragraphs, an introductory paragraph, and a conclusion.
    In order to foster learning and growth, all essays you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Any recycled work will be sent back with a 0, and you will be given one attempt to redo the touchstone.
    Sample Topic Ideas:
    Compare or contrast two cities you’ve visited or that you’ve lived in
    Compare or contrast two members of your family
    Compare or contrast two sources of news
    Compare or contrast two singers in different music genres
    Compare or contrast two historical figures
    Compare or contrast two artists (for example, Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso or Keith Haring and Andy Warhol)

  • [ANSWERED] Write an analysis of a theme in one of the following short stories: 1. Tillie Olsen,…

    Write an analysis of a theme in one of the following short stories:
    1. Tillie Olsen, “I Stand Here Ironing”
    2. Amy Tan, “Two Kinds”
    3. Alice Walker, “Everyday Use”
    4. Raymond Carver, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love”
    See the discussion of theme in Making Literature Matter. Your thesis should reflect three points
    (aspects of theme) that you are going to focus on in your paper. Another approach to thematic
    analysis is to illustrate three methods by which an author develops a theme.
    Quoting:
    Quote liberally from the short story (citing in-text, MLA style). Look up how to quote short
    prose passages, as well as how to block longer passages of prose. Remember to introduce each
    quote with an independent clause (followed by a colon); the introduction to a quote provides
    you with an opportunity to state an opinion and make clear why the quote is significant.
    You will need a works cited page (MLA format), in which you cite the short story.
    You are to use only ONE source for this paper—the short story itself

    1. The Concept Map must visually?connect all of the specified objectives? (Program Outcomes, MSN Essentials, and NONPF Competencies)?to course work?(such as specific discussion board topics, written assignments, exams, lessons, and reading content). 2. All items should be labeled, for instance, label the objectives and label the course work you select with name of the assignment/reading/discussion board topic and which week it was introduced. 3. Use Microsoft Word or a PowerPoint to create a Concept Map. You can use the features found on the “Insert” tab of a Word doc (in the horizontal ribbon on the top of a Word doc page). For instance, if you click on “insert” you will see shapes and SmartArt. You can use a PowerPoint slide with shapes and lines to create a concept/mind map. This is not a PowerPoint presentation , but a PowerPoint slide can be used to “draw” the Map. Outcomes/Competencies to be connected with course learning: MSN Program Outcome #2: Create a caring environment for achieving quality health outcomes (Care-Focused). MSN Essential VIII: Clinical Prevention and Population Health for Improving Health National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Competencies #4: Practice Inquiry Competencies • Recognizes that the master’s-prepared nurse applies and integrates broad, organizational, client-centered, and culturally appropriate concepts in the planning, delivery, management, and evaluation of evidence-based clinical prevention and population care and services to individuals, families, and aggregates/identified populations. Your Concept Map will visually depict how you see the assignments of the course meeting the outcomes above.

  • [ANSWERED] As an instructional design consultant, you are often called on by schools and businesses to…

    As an instructional design consultant, you are often called on by schools and businesses to help make decisions about how best to present information and to create meaningful learning experiences. You have been called into a small school district to help the two instructional designers reconstruct a history course for seniors. The course is taught in both of the high schools in the district. The designers tell you that they have been given this project because the reports from principals and faculty in the district are saying that the 12th grade history course, which focuses on U.S. history during the 20th century, is dull, and that students are turned off by the content. Teachers report a morale and motivation problem among students who take the course, and that the course has developed a bad reputation among students in the school. The designers have analyzed the basic sequence of the course and have looked at the approach that lesson plans take toward the material. They tell you the following: ? Teachers are expected to present much of the information in lectures, and through the use of 35mm slides. Even though classrooms have been equipped, for the last 6 years, with Internet connections, and teachers have been trained on the use of computers in the classroom, the course has not made use of this method of instruction. ? The history textbook was published in 1995. It does not cover some of the significant events toward the end of the century. ? Students are expected to write essays and research papers for most of the assignments in the class. There is only one team assignment, coming in the last two weeks of the semester. ? The syllabus puts emphasis on the early part of the century, focusing on the depression, prohibition, and the world wars. Little time is spent on later events, such as the exploration of the moon, civil rights developments, or the growth of the Internet and computers. Students are bored with this content. There is little beyond text material to learn from.

  • [ANSWERED] A public sector organisation (a municipal local authority) with responsibility for provision of…

    Question 1 (1750 words approximately)
    A public sector organisation (a municipal local authority) with responsibility for provision of public
    transport has received a substantial central government grant to upgrade its transport infrastructure.
    After careful consideration of several options and development of a robust business case it has
    decided to invest the money in the following project over a five year period. The authority does not
    have its own in-house highways maintenance design and construction service but does have a
    highways term maintenance contract which expires half way through year 3.
    Identify the procurement and related contract strategy/ies and routes that you (as a professional
    commercial manager) would advise the client (a municipal local authority) to take, for the
    appointment of contractors to deliver the works programme. Critically analyse why you believe your
    proposal to be the most appropriate approach to procuring the works and services required for this
    project.
    The dates of proposed schemes below:
    Year 1
    Creation of ‘park and ride’ facilities on land owned by the authority in the north and east of the
    municipal area to reduce the numbers of passenger car movements into the city centre. These
    facilities will consist of a 2,000 spaces car park (with automated security barriers, CCTV and bus
    pick up and drop lanes).
    A new road bypassing the city to the north east with junctions at the park and ride facilities.
    Year 2
    Creation of bus priority measures at signal-controlled junctions along the route from each park and
    ride facilities into the city centre. These works involve minor alterations to the road layout at
    approximately 60 junctions.
    Refurbishment and expansion of the two bus garages owned by the municipality, one at each end
    of the city.
    Year 3
    Improvements to the surfacing and creation of a raised boarding area at all bus stops throughout the
    municipal area.
    Redesign and enhancement of the railway station forecourt area to increase the number of bus
    stopping bays, provide waiting facilities for passengers, provide a bicycle storage shelter and
    relocate the taxi rank.
    Year 4
    Provision of new bus shelters throughout the city following on from the surfacing and kerbing
    improvements at bus stops.
    Year 5
    Installation of on-street paper and electronic bus ticket vending machines at eight busy locations in
    the city centre, the two city hospitals, the railway station and university.
    Installation of air quality measuring stations at various locations throughout the city.

  • [ANSWERED] Compare and contrast the presentation requirements of the Conceptual Framework for Financial…

    1. Compare and contrast the presentation requirements of the Conceptual Framework for
    Financial Reporting and of AASB132 – Financial Instruments: Presentation in relation to
    such instruments as convertible notes, particularly when they concern the probability of
    conversion. Are you more inclined to agree with the requirements of AASB132 or the
    suggestions provided by the conceptual framework? Justify and support your
    perspective. (Adapted from Deegan, C., Financial Accounting, 2016).
    2. What are the major issues addressed by accountants when dealing with international
    financial transactions? How and why do accountants mitigate risk in such instances?
    3. The article entitled ‘One third of large Australian Companies pay no tax, ATO Data
    Shows’ (ABC, 14 December 2018, Topic 3) states ‘About one third of large companies
    have failed to pay tax even though they made a gross profit … but the Tax Office says
    most have good reasons…’. In terms of the Code of Ethics for Professional Standards
    what issues may arise in this type of situation for the Professional Accountant?
    4. When IFRS15/AASB15 Revenue from contracts with customers was released, one of
    the large international accounting firms issued a short document entitled IFRS Industry
    issues: Construction and Real Estate. In the document the following was stated: ‘The
    adoption of IFRS15 may lead to significant changes in the pattern of revenue and profit
    recognition. Careful consideration and planning will be needed for a range of issues,
    including the effect on compliance with bank covenants and performance based
    compensation.’ Why do you consider this advice was given? Do you agree with this
    advice? Why or why not? (Adapted from Deegan, C., Financial Accounting, 2016).
    5. Going forward, can you envisage a single universally accepted theory of accounting?
    Why or why not? Justify and support your response.
    6. If a company adopted a particular accounting policy that the Australian Securities and
    Investment Commission (ASIC) considered to be questionable, in principle ASIC might
    consider taking legal action against the Company Directors for failing to produce true
    and fair statements. However in your opinion why may it be difficult for ASIC to prove in
    court that the company’s financial statements were not true and fair. What other action
    might ASIC take in this instance? (Adapted from Deegan, C., Financial Accounting,
    2016)

    Imagine that you are a case manager for a disability services work placement organisation
    who has just been assigned a new client, Steve. Steve is 19 years old and was involved in a
    serious car accident 18 months ago in which he suffered from a traumatic brain injury.
    Since that time Steve has been assessed by a number of doctors, psychologists, and
    physiotherapists. You know that they have conducted a range tests in order to assess
    Steve’s level of functioning and to monitor his rehabilitation. Steve’s mother has brought
    Steve into your organisation because Steve says that he wants assistance finding suitable
    employment that works with his current level of functioning.
    What sort of information might you want to gather about Steve and how might you go
    about sourcing this information? (Your response should be no more than 50 words)
