  • Data Analytics Question

    Assignment Overview:

    This essay asks that you rewatch a movie that you enjoyed when you were younger. Take careful notes as you watch it, including timestamps of scenes you may want to analyze. Keep these notes.

    Consider the film’s narrative elements: the film’s genre, its characters and their identities, its plot, and the location (or locations) where the action occurs.

    Also take note of the non-narrative elements: the sound, lighting, editing, camera angles and movements, and musical score that contribute to the film’s meaning.

    As you watch, ask yourself who the implicit viewers of the film are and what makes you think this.

    Formulate an argument about the film using your film viewing notes and JCOM 301 course content (readings, lectures, key concepts).

    Analysis Requirements:

    In the essay itself, analyze the film using at least three key concepts from class. When you use a key term from class, highlight it in bold.

    Evidence Requirements:

    Your evidence for the essay should come from two sources:

    1) From the Film Itself

    You should provide specific, detailed examples. These should include precise timestamps and detailed scene descriptions (e.g., “the diner confrontation at 45 minutes into the film” or “the opening sequence at 3:45”). These might include:

    a) Specific camera techniques (e.g., close-up, long shot, crane shot, panoramic shot, over-the-shoulder shot)

    b) Exact dialogue in quotation marks

    c) Specific mise-en-scene elements (costumes, props, setting details, lighting choices)

    d) Sound design or musical score moments

    2) From Course Readings

    You should back up your argument(s) using at least three of the class readings we have done so far. In many instances, these readings will overlap with the key concepts mentioned above. For example, if you discuss the oppositional gaze, you would cite bell hooks.

    When you reference a reading, engage with the author’s specific argument (don’t simply mention that you consulted the source). Use direct quotes or paraphrases that demonstrate your understanding of the theoretical framework.

    How to Cite Film Evidence

    When analyzing scenes from the film, include a timestamp or detailed scene description (e.g., “the birthday party scene approximately 30 minutes in, where the family gathers in the kitchen”). Also include the specific visual or audio element you’re analyzing.

    Example: “In the confrontation scene at the police station (1:23:15), the director uses a low-angle shot to frame the detective, positioning the camera below his eyeline and making him loom over both the suspect and the viewer. This visual choice reinforces the male gaze operating throughout the film by literalizing his position of power.”

    Avoid vague references like “throughout the film,” “in many scenes,” or “the movie shows.” Ground your analysis in specific, observable moments that graders can locate and verify.

    Personal Reflection Component

    While the majority of the essay should be devoted to your analysis, you should also address the following reflection questions (1-2 paragraphs total):

    -What did you originally like and find pleasurable about the film? Be specific about particular scenes, characters, or moments that attracted you as a younger viewer.

    -Is the experience of viewing this movie different now that you’re older? Identify at least two specific moments or elements that you now see differently and explain why your perspective has (or hasn’t) shifted.

    Additionally, in your introduction or early in the essay, briefly mention when and where you first watched the film (your approximate age, the setting, who watched it with you if you remember). This personal context can inform a brief analysis of how you functioned as an implicit viewer then versus now.

    Key Elements:

    Be specific in your analysis. For the film, this means referencing specific scenes that support your arguments. Also, you should provide a brief (one paragraph) description of the film’s plotline for graders who might not have seen the film that you are analyzing. There are no correct or incorrect answers. Instead, you will be graded on your ability to work with class concepts and present evidence to back up your arguments.

    NOTE: it is fine and appropriate to use the first-person “I” in this essay.

    Viewing Process:

    As you rewatch the film, take detailed notes including timestamps of significant scenes you may want to analyze. Keep these notes as you may be asked to reference them or discuss specific scenes in discussion.

    Formatting Requirements:

    -Your essay should be at least 1,200 words

    -It should be typed in 12-point, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins

    -It should have a title

    -The word count (minus your works-cited page) should appear in the header

    –Cite any readings, websites, and films you consult using a standard citation style (e.g., MLA, Chicago Style, APA) and include a works cited page at the end of the document.

    Grading:

    Your essay will be graded on content (your command over class material and your ability to apply concepts to real-world examples) and form (your ability to express and organize your ideas). See the rubric for detailed grading criteria.

    answers for each upcoming assignment (discussions exempted) must have at least one of the following options: circled, highlighted, or underlined. Your submissions must be visually well-defined due to the complexity of all data entry. No exceptions.

    Furthermore, the IBM SPSS learning software automatically comes with Preloaded and Preformatted numerical content data-entry already installed. If you do not clearly distinguish your own answers as required by the instructor’s grading methods, you will lose grade points.

    This requirement is necessary as most or all the tables already have some form of pre-loaded format within the assignment, including pre-loaded Graphs, Questions, and/or instructions

  • Implicit Bias Reflection

    Implicit bias (also called unconscious bias) refers to attitudes and beliefs that occur outside of our conscious awareness and control. In healthcare, it is important for nurses and all healthcare professionals to practice without bias to ensure excellent quality and equitable healthcare is being delivered to all. In healthcare, nurses (along with all healthcare professionals) need to be aware of their implicit biases so that they can acknowledge, reflect, and find ways to overcome the impact of their biases. This is one strategy to mitigate healthcare disparities. This assignment may seem familiar to you; however, two tests are new. Some of you are repeating the tests to determine if there is a difference in earlier findings. The assignment requires students to complete the Implicit Association Test by Harvard University. Link to the Implicit Association Test by Harvard University website: Select a Test (harvard.edu)

    The following tests should be completed in full (about 10 minutes each).

    1.

    Race

    2.

    Sexuality

    3.

    Muslim

    Upon completion of the tests, students should review and save their findings and complete a reflection about insights into the findings, compare and contrast previous years findings for the same tests, and future steps that you personally will take to address what you discovered. Reflective papers should be written in first person and use of subheadings to follow APA. Assignment GenAI Guidelines: You must not use AI at any point during this assignment. You must demonstrate your core skills and knowledge (Perkins, et al., 2024). While working in a trusting and collegial atmosphere it is preferred, if, for any reason, your work appears to be driven by or assisted by GenAI tools, there will be consequences for that action. Consequences may include, among others, discussion with faculty, an opportunity to re-do the assignment, an automatic loss of points or failing grade on the assignment, and/or elevation to university-level consequences for academic dishonesty.

    I expect each component to be well written starting with an overall interpretation of your results, how they compare with prior results and your prespective as to what experiences or thoughts may have contributed to the results, who you are as an individal. Include a title page with APA format.

    Use these results below and reflect on all 7 of them with future strategies for growth:

  • Finance

    in 150-200 words clear this from AI I first noticed a problem when I realized how little my friends and I understood about money, despite how often it affects our daily lives. At school and at home, people talked about grades, sports, and college, but rarely about how money works, how to save, or how investing shapes the future. I felt this gap personally because I was curious about finance but had to figure things out mostly on my own. To respond, I joined my schools Finance Club and started learning as much as I could. I also opened and managed my own stock market account, which made finance feel real rather than theoretical. As I learned, I naturally began sharing what I understood with friendsexplaining basic concepts, discussing market news, and encouraging them to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. These conversations helped me realize how empowering even small pieces of knowledge can be. If I could try again, I would be more confident in taking initiative earlier. I would organize informal group discussions or invite knowledgeable adults to speak, so more students could benefit. This experience taught me that personal curiosity can grow into responsibilityand that meaningful change often starts with one honest question.
