Project Four: Proposal Essay and Presentation
For your final project in this course, you will be writing a proposal to help solve a problem in your community. That is, you will identify a problem in the area of New Orleans itself or in your hometown, convince your audience that there is a problem to be solved, and then you will provide a solution and argue for it.
As the final component of this project, you will share your work with the class in a brief, 5-7 minute presentation. This presentation must include a visual element, and it cannot be a traditional Powerpoint. An additional assignment sheet with specifications for the presentation will be distributed in class.
Getting Started: For this assignment, you are first and foremost working to identify and solve a problem within the community. Thus your essay will need to explain the problem AND propose a solution to a problem. You may wish to start by considering the following:
School: Would you like to fix or change the rising cost of textbooks or tuition, the admissions process, or the financial aid process? Would you like to add more computer classrooms, update the library, or provide more on-site tutoring?
Community: Potholes, crime, garbage collection, and temporary rentals are all ongoing conversations in our community. Do you have ideas for fixing or changing any of these?
Your essay should:
Use two sources
Identify, describe, and explain the problem you are discussing
Provide a well-supported position/solution
Provide an effective response to the opposition
Set clear criteria that you used to make your claim or judgment
Provide evidence/ examples that support your claim
Word count 750
Ideally, youll want to target your work to someone who can actually do something about the problem. Thus the audience for your work is going to be dependent upon your project. We will spend time in class discussing audience and how to choose the proper audience for your project. Your essay will need to be developed and organized in a manner that makes logical sense to your chosen audience.

The Miller and the Reeve have been called the “Jekyll and Hyde of the fabliaux”. By this it is meant that the Miller and his tale are more genial, affable and attuned to beauty, and the Reeve (and his tale) are meanspirited and ugly.

No more than 10% of the paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an external source.APA Requirements Much of the information below comes from the APA Tutorial, available through the Effective Writing Center, under the Resources tab above. For this class, the main focus of APA formatting is on citations and references, and papers with incorrect citations and/or references will lose points on the grade.
APA format is more than simply using in-text citations and full references. Writers apply APA format to their work for the following reasons:
Providing in-text citations and full references tells readers what sources were used to write an article or book.
Using APA format ensures consistency in the conventions writers use and readers expect in publications.
Including in-text citations and full references credits writers in their field for the research they have conducted.
Using APA format protects writers from being plagiarized and from plagiarizing others.
The reference list gives the reader the information necessary to locate and retrieve any source you cite in your paper. Full references are always listed on a separate page at the end of a paper and match one-to-one with a citation that appears in a paper. Every source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; and, every entry in the reference list must be cited in your text. If you review other sources, but do not cite them, they are not included in the reference list. The reference page is labeled as: References and is centered and bolded and always plural. Each reference appears in alphabetical order by the first word, and no numbering is used. Each entry is single spaced, with the first line at the margin and the second and subsequent lines indented one-half inch. Use double spacing between entries.

Essay and GrammerWriting Quality for the Research Paper
* All Grammar, Verb Tenses, Pronouns, Spelling, Punctuation, and Writing Competency should be without error.
* Be particularly careful about mis-matching a noun and pronoun. For example, if you say “A person does this…” then do not use “their” or “they” when referring to that person. “Person” is singular; “their” or “they” is plural.
* Remember: there is not their, your is not you’re, its is not it’s, too is not to or two, site is not cite, and who should be used after an individual, not that. For example, “the person WHO made the speech” not “the person THAT made the speech.”
* In a professional paper one does not use contractions (doesn’t, don’t, etc.) and one does not use the personal I, you or your. Use the impersonal as in the previous sentence. It is more business-like to say “In a professional paper one should not use contractions,” rather than saying, “In a professional paper you don’t use contractions.” *Remember: spell-check, then proofread. Better yet, have a friend or colleague read it before submitting it. Read it out loud to yourself. Read it as if you are submitting it to your boss.

In what way does the society of the Greek gods reflect Greek society in general? In what way does it differ?

required to write a critique of a paper which can be accessed from a reputable academic / industry journal in the area of Marketing/ Management/ Economic/ Finance Research.
Here are some questions that you might ask yourself as you read through the paper that you have chosen to critique. Bear in mind that this list is illustrative rather than exhaustive and some of the questions will not apply to all of the papers – it depends on whether the paper is quantitative or qualitative, theoretical or experimental or a combination of these categories.
Is the study descriptive or explanatory?
Is there a clear research aim? Are there clear research questions or hypothesis? Is it derived from previous research or theory, and if so is the logic of the derivation clear?
What methodology does the author employ? What rationale is given for the decision to employ the given methodology? Is this rationale justified?
Does the author(s) actually test the hypothesis?
Are the concepts to be explored clearly defined and explained?
Are the concepts operationalised in a way that corresponds to the definition? Are they valid?
If the paper includes measurements – do the measurement correspond to the definition of the concept (e.g. nominal, ordinal, scale or percentages)?
Have the measures used been shown to be reliable?
There is no set format for the essay, but as a guide you may find it useful to use three main sections: an introductory section, a discussion/critique/analysis section and a conclusions section.

The methodology should address what frameworks you will use (techniques), and try in some of the tools you have used in the labs (tools & data). As for the second part of the assignment, you will notice that it is not graded in the rubric, please put this as an appendix in you paper and a one page essay will suffice.

Discuss how many crimes occurred on UNCG’s campus in 2017? The good news and bad news:

Science is commonly understood to be about what we know, and can know. In fact, the word itself derives from the Latin scientia, meaning knowledge. The authors of our three texts certainly revere science for what it has contributed to our understanding of the world, from an accurate measurement of the earth in the third century B.C. to the establishment of a sun-centered cosmology in the sixteenth century A.D. to, more recently, a plausible explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs.Yet each of our authors also points to areas beyond the reach of knowledge. Hawking and Mlodinow admit that there is no way of knowing whether a given model of the world, be it M-theory, string theory, or even some alternative reality, is more real than another. Lightman demonstrates that it is impossible to know any part of the universe that is more than 13.7 billion light-years away. And even Gould ultimately values science not so much as a repository of known things, but as a fruitful mode of inquiry.
