  • The Shahnameh, Sundiata, and The Popul Vuh

    For this assignment, you will evaluate characters from The Shahnameh, Sundiata, and The Popul Vuh and then write an essay with a minimum of 1000 words (see specific topic below) arguing for and supporting your conclusions. This assignment will build your writing, analytical, and evaluative skills.

    You may be able to further develop ideas you have already submitted in our discussions. However, be careful not to plagiarize your classmates’ submissions. You are encouraged to use the material in the course to further develop your own original interpretations and arguments; researching other secondary sources is not required for this assignment, and plagiarism of other sources and AI use will not be tolerated. If you use sources beyond the primary texts (the epics), be sure to include citations for those secondary sources along with your citations for the epics. Both MLA in-text citations and a Works Cited page are required for this assignment.

    All semester, we have discussed the ways in which epics enable a community to share and reinforce strongly held cultural values. Heroes, in particular, are models of ethics and behavior, yet heroes are not static characters; they grow and develop during their journeys, shaped by the people they encounter and their experiences.

    For this assignment, pretend that the heroes of our last three epics–Rustem, Sundiata, and the Hero Twins have the ability and desire to read about each other in The Shahnameh, Sundiata, and The Popul Vuh. Explain the most significant lesson each character would learn from each of the other two epics (that is, two lessons total for each character) and how that might shape their growth as heroes and leaders. For the sake of this assignment, consider the Hero Twins together, not as two separate characters.

    Strong assignments will demonstrate awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of each hero, as well as the potential lessons to be drawn from the other two texts each hero will be reading. As always, support your arguments with detailed and specific evidence, particularly quotations. Use MLA format for in-text citations and the Works Cited.

    Write an essay of about eight paragraphs presenting your argument. Be sure to include quotations from the texts as well as additional details that illustrate and enhance the points you are making. Use the following outline:

    1. Your first paragraph should be an engaging introduction with a clear thesis that brings all three epics and epic heroes together. Structure your essay as you choose, but the writing should be organized. Perhaps focus on one character at a time, or focus on one text at a time. Be sure your thesis provides a strong argument and forecasts the structure you will be using in the essay.
    2. Give specific examples and quotes from the texts to support your analyses. Use in-text citations in MLA format for the quotations, and be sure to include page numbers from the texts included in this course.
    3. The last paragraph should be your conclusion. What do these three heroes (and, more broadly, these cultures) have to learn from each other? What have you learned from this creative exercise? Answer the question, “So what?” What should you and your reader do with the information and claims you’ve provided?
    4. Your final page should be your Works Cited page, in MLA format. It should include the three literary texts (our epics), as well as any content pages from the course material to which you may have referred.

  • midterm 1

    One of the grand and ongoing debates in the sociological analysis of social problems is the question of powerwhere it resides, how it operates, and what drives its perpetuation. Classical Marxist thinking posits that power is fundamentally rooted in economic class divisions, stemming from ownership (or lack thereof) of the means of production. From this perspective, gendered and racial inequalities are acknowledged but understood as symptoms of capitalism rather than independent forces shaping society.

    On the other hand, feminist theorists and critical race theorists argue for an intersectional approach, rejecting the notion that class alone determines power. Instead, they contend that power is multidimensional, with race, gender, and class intersecting in ways that amplify oppression. Unlike the Marxists, who see racial and gender inequalities as byproducts of capitalism, intersectionality theorists insist that these are distinct and equally pernicious systems of domination, each contributing uniquely to the broader landscape of social inequality.

    The task before you is this: Which side of this debate do you align with, and why? Your paper must take a clear stance, argue it convincingly, and support your position with evidence from class materials. This is a critical paper, not a descriptive onemeaning you are expected to engage with the debate, not merely summarize the two sides.

    A well-organized paper is a pleasure to read, so I strongly encourage you to plan your argument carefully, structuring your work with headings and subheadings where appropriate. The expected length is approximately 10 pages, though quality reigns supremeso if you are a page or two under or over, no alarms will be raised.

    Above all, demonstrate critical thinking. Engage with the theories, wrestle with their implications, and show that you have thought deeply about the nature of power in society.

    Best of luck. I look forward to reading your work.

  • Setting and Maintaining Personal and Professional Boundaries

    Self-Reflection #1

    You are going to take time to reflect on the work, duties and responsibilities of a community health worker. This can be related to the activities you are or will be doing in your internship or future CHW job. (The activities I am doing are some home visitations (Hospice patients) and clerical office work in a hospice office). This requires the CHW to demonstrate sensitivity, honesty and empathy in addition to setting personal and professional boundaries. After reading and discussing the topic of Setting and Maintaining Personal and Professional Boundaries, I would like you to reflect on the meaning, impact, implication and practicality of the following concepts as it relates to the interpersonal relationships you foresee having in your internship or future work experience.

    Concepts:

    Objectivity, transference, countertransference, triggers, and critical reflection

    To do:

    • Start by defining and understanding each concept in a way that makes sense to you.
    • Explain how each concept can affect the way you communicate and build relationships with others (clients, coworkers, collaborators) This requires a moment of self-reflection to identify any preconceived ideas, experiences which can be either negative or positive, lack of knowledge, skills or resources.
    • Identify potential strategies that you can incorporate into your practice to help you improve your communication and interpersonal relationships. These will be practical examples that can help you to be objective in your working relationships, specific activities than can help you recognize when you, your client or colleague may be engaging in transference or countertransference and what practical things can you do to self-correct your approach to the situation and identify a technique, activity or support system that you can use to practice asses your work and the way you handle conversations or treat others.

    You must write your reflection in an essay format, use Times New Roman font, font size twelve and write a minimum of five hundred words . See the scoring rubric for additional guidance on the writing process and allocation of points.

  • Decision tree model for Titanic survival prediction

    You are tasked with building and optimizing a decision tree model to predict survival on the Titanic dataset. Using the embedded titanic dataset, you will tune the models hyperparameters to maximize performance. 1. Dataset: Use the titanic dataset from Pythons seaborn library: Python Code import seaborn as sns titanic = sns.load_dataset(“titanic”) Relevant features: * Input variables: pclass, sex, age, sibsp, and fare. * Target variable: survived (1 = survived, 0 = did not survive). 1. Steps: * Data Preprocessing: * Handle missing values (e.g., fill missing age values with the median). * Convert categorical variables (e.g., sex) into numeric format using one-hot encoding. * Split the data into training and test sets. * Baseline Model: * Train a basic decision tree model using default hyperparameters. * Evaluate the model using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. * Hyperparameter Tuning: * Use GridSearchCV from scikit-learn to optimize hyperparameters, such as: * max_depth: Maximum depth of the tree. * min_samples_split: Minimum number of samples required to split an internal node. * min_samples_leaf: Minimum number of samples required to be at a leaf node. * Evaluate the optimized model on the test set. * Visualization: * Plot the decision tree using graphviz or plot_tree from scikit-learn. * Compare performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall) between the baseline and optimized models. 2. Analysis: * Summarize the results of the optimization process and discuss how the tuned hyperparameters improved the model. * Reflect on any trade-offs between complexity and performance (e.g., overfitting vs. generalization). Submit a Word Document containing your assignment and the following requirements: * A Python Jupyter Notebook containing: * Code for data preprocessing, model training, and hyperparameter tuning. * Visualizations of the decision tree and performance metrics. * A written summary comparing baseline and optimized model results (1-2 pages).

  • Science Article

    Assessment: Popular Science Article – Instructions

    Imagine the following scenario: the UK government is threatening to cut the budget for medical science research by 40% next year and has asked funding bodies to make decisions on which areas of research should be prioritized or protected from cuts. As an expert on medical research, you are invited by ‘The Conversation’, an online news provider, to write an article making a case for the value of medical research and your opinion on which areas, if any, should be protected from cuts.

    This is your opportunity to convince the public that medical research is important. The article must be understandable by a non-specialist audience. This assessment is an exercise in communicating specialised/complex information to an educated public.

    Your article must be engaging, accessible, and free of unexplained jargon. A paper that a non- expert cannot understand will receive a low mark no matter how good you make the case for protecting medical research. You may use a maximum of three figures (e.g., graphs or diagrams) if they help illustrate a point more effectively than text but you must acknowledge the source of any published material. Figure legends are not included in the word count. However they must be directly relevant to the figure and not used as a means of increasing the text content of your article to overcome the word limit.

    Your article must address the following core points to build your case::

    What proportion of funding for medical research comes from the government?

    How is the funding used?

    How does medical research return economic and societal benefit?

    What are the possible consequences of budget cuts? You may suggest an area of medical research to spare from the cuts and justifywhy.

    This is an opportunity to use your knowledge to generate a convincing case that properly funded, good quality medical research is a worthwhile investment for the UK governmentand that cuts are a mistake. Although articles in ‘The Conversation’ usually show citations as links within the text, for the purposes of this assessment, you should provide a bibliography. Use numbers in the body of the text and a full citation in the reference list.

    1500 (+/- 10%) words. References are not included in the word count.
