  • [ANSWERED] The Macquarie University Teaching Performance Assessment (MQ…

    The Macquarie University Teaching Performance Assessment (MQTPA) task is designed to ensure that Teacher Education Students (TES) graduating from the Macquarie School of Education at Macquarie University can meet the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) at the Graduate level. TES will complete the MQTPA in the final Professional Experience unit for their course. To ensure the DoES is preparing the TES for evidence-based quality teaching cycles, the MQTPA is informed by reflexive practice[1]. TES will complete the MQTPA through the collection of various forms of evidence as detailed throughout this document. TES also need to refer to the Professional Experience Requirements for their final Professional Experience unit, as this document will support the evidence collected and annotated whilst on placement. The TES will be assessed using a three-point Likert scale scoring rubric for each section 1 – 4 below. Teacher Education Students will achieve either: Not Met / Met / Exceeds Expectations on the requirements of the specific skills/abilities/competencies in each of the four components 1. Planning 2. Teaching 3. Assessing 4. Reflexivity and in an overall holistic assessment. Experienced university assessors are trained in assessing the MQTPA. The assessors consist of academics who teach in PE units in the Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary courses. The unit convenors (n=3) of the final PE unit in all courses conduct overall moderation, which includes analysing a range of TPAs to check for consistency.

    One way to characterize Kate Chopin would be extreme. She does not see any hope of changing social systems through moderate measures. Your assignment for this unit will be to compare Chopin’s writing to a contemporary feminist concern. Below, I’ve listed three prompts to help give you some direction, if you need it. You may choose any one of these as a prompt for the assignment if want to, but don’t choose more than one. You may also choose to write your comparison according to an issue or concern that you want to address, but whatever you do, BE SURE to quote at least three times from The Awakening.
    How would Chopin view America’s political climate today? What issues would she advocate for and what would she suggest doing about them?
    How would Chopin imagine Edna in today’s society? What kind of person would she be, and how would society respond to her?
    Are there still writers who seek to “resist” in the way that Chopin seems to? If so, who are they and how do they compare Chopin? If there aren’t writers who do what Chopin did, what do you think has changed? Why is this sort of thinking no longer possible, or why has it become so much less a part of the conversation?
    Nuts and Bolts: Typed, double spaced, MLA formatted on Microsoft Word and attached as a document that I can open. 350 words minimum and quote at least three times from Chopin in support of your explanations

    Large and small sized organisations communicate to their staff using different communication tools. Make a list of communication tools which might be used by:
    a) The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (45,000 staff worldwide covering all time zones).
    b) The Hawthorn Newsagency (25 staff: The two owners are permanent and 23 are casuals who range from 4am newspaper deliverers through to those who close up and clean the premises at 9pm).
    2. Imagine you are a communication team in a large insurance company. Following a recent fire drill a problem was noted and your boss, the Head of Public Affairs, has asked you to design a campaign for all staff explaining they cannot take their coffee with them during emergency exits (including drills). How would you go about this and what would you use to achieve the end result?
    3. Design a poster highlighting the issue above– keep your text under 8 words.
    4. There has never been a time when there were more ways to communicate with another person. Make some notes and be prepared to discuss why a personal letter (see text pages 295-300) still plays an important role in communication?
    5. Electronic media has both benefits and risks. Why would you, as Communication Manager of a large Fast Food chain (like McDonalds, KFC), recommend establishing a Facebook page, twitter, Pinterest site and/or a blog site for your company. What are the risks and benefits of doing this?
    6. Discuss how you would communicate in a multicultural workplace, for example the Footscray Markets, and how this may differ from communicating at home.
    7. Write an email (see text pages 285-290), on behalf of the Head of Human Resources at the David Jones store in the city, to all staff explaining that due to the current COVID-19 infections, dress code and interaction with customers and new hygiene requirements have been imposed. Consider culture and appropriate attire in your message – and how clearly you are getting your message across. (Aim for 150 words or less.)
    8. Why do you think an email (text page 285-290) may be an inappropriate way to talk to somebody you manage about their poor performance in their job (provide some theory to back up your points, Reference from your text)
    9. Literacy and professional presentation is important. Complete the SALNA Quiz to gauge your level of academic literacy (around 15 minutes):
    https://www.swinburne.edu.au/current-students/study-support/improve-skills/salna/(Links to an external site.)
    Some of you may have already completed the quiz earlier this semester. This site also gives you access to some academic literacy resources. Post a remark regarding your quiz experience on discussion board (not your mark!!)
    10. What are the essential components for a good professional letter *see text page 295-300.
    11. Name three important things to remember when writing a good professional email. Read the below articles and, also reference from yourtext.

  • [ANSWERED] For this essay, you’ll be writing about The Color Purple. The Color Purple…

    For this essay, you’ll be writing about
    The Color Purple. The Color Purple
    is noted for its intersectional themes; it explores the experiences of the characters in the context of their race and gender, as well as social class.
    In essay 1, you’ll be . You’ll develop an argumentative thesis that addresses a particular intersectional theme and how the elements of the novel (characterization, plot, etc.) support that theme. For example, how do the characters’ experiences relate to their gender
    as well as
    their race and/or class? How are they treated by other characters based on these characteristics? How are their struggles, triumphs, and attitudes influenced by all of these social forces? With all of this in mind, how do you think we should interpret the novel as a whole?
    Research and Organization:
    You must use
    The Color Purple
    and
    1 source from Greenville Tech’s library’s databases
    , as well as one additional source which must be credible (not articles already assigned in the course).
    Using more than three sources total and/or not using the sources mentioned above will result in a significant deduction of points.
    The types of sources you’ll most likely be using are ones that discuss intersectionality and its relationship to literature, as well as literary analysis of
    The Color Purple.
    The introductory paragraph needs to grab the reader’s attention and contain the
    thesis statement
    .
    Each body paragraph should discuss one particular example from
    The Color Purple
    of the intersectional theme you have developed.
    After you have initially introduced the authors of your sources by their first and last names, be sure to refer to them by their last names only throughout the rest of the essay. Ex. Walker.
    The conclusion needs to tie the essay together and should restate the thesis (but in different words). Ultimately, the conclusion should engage the reader and give them food for thought as the essay ends. No new information should be introduced in the conclusion.
    Be sure to use the novel itself, one source from the library, as well as one additional reliable source (which may also come from the library if you would like). Do not use more than three sources.
    Use signal phrases to introduce your sources.
    Signal phrases have two purposes: First, they let the reader know where your thoughts and ideas end and where your sources’ thoughts and ideas begin. Second, they should be used to introduce quotes, summaries, and paraphrases. The first time a source is introduced, a detailed description should be used to tell the reader something about the source so that the reader understands why the source is important to the essay.
    The essay should include quotations, summaries, and paraphrases and be written in the third person. Quotes should be used sparingly; summaries and paraphrases should primarily be used.
    Essays that do not contain in-text citations when necessary
    and
    a Works Cited page will receive a zero–since this is considered plagiarism.
    Specifics:
    800-1,200 words (a ¼ point deduction for each word above or below the required word count). The Works Cited page and MLA header do not count in the word total
    . If you feel that you need to go over the word count, please discuss this with me ahead of time, or I will deduct points for each word over the 1,200 word maximum.
    You must use MLA format:
    header, page number, etc.
    signal phrases
    in-text citations
    works cited page
    Make sure to include a creative title with your essay; don’t just simply use Essay 1 as your title.
    Point of View:
    3
    rd
    Person
    (no 1
    st
    person “I” or 2
    nd
    person “you”)
    When writing about the events of the novel, use literary present tense.
    Your work will be graded according to the English Department Grading Rubric, which includes areas such as content, grammar, organization, and MLA.
    Your essay must be submitted through Blackboard by the due date/time to avoid receiving a zero. Computer problems will not count as an excuse for turning the essay in late.
    Remember that any and all of the following count as plagiarism and can lead to an automatic failure of the assignment:
    failure to include either in-text citations and/or a works cited page
    neglecting to provide in-text citations for anything borrowed from a source, whether you quoted it, paraphrased it, or summarized it
    neglecting to provide a works cited entry for a source used and cited in-text
    not paraphrasing source information thoroughly enough—the ideas/information may have come from somewhere else, but the way those ideas are worded must be 100% original to you or else be in quotation marks.
    not using quotation marks when quoting a source word for word
    any additional information in
    The Bedford Handbook
    that outlines plagiarism
    When in doubt, cite!
    Though I will not require handing them in as part of the assignment, I reserve the right, at any time, to demand to see copies of your source materials. Therefore you should keep copies or files which can be easily accessed and given to me in the event of a request.
