Requirements:

The essay should be at least 1200 words in length. The Works Cited page does not count in this total.

Make sure that you have a strong, argumentative thesis statement that clearly lays out what you will discuss in your paper.

Use the scholarly tone for writing a formal paper.

Support your argument with evidence from your research.

You must use at least three direct quotes in the paper. The quotes must be introduced, explained, and followed by an in-text citation.

Include proper MLA in-text citations and Work(s) Cited page

You must have at least four sources for your essay.

You must use the Post and Courier for at least one of your sources.

You must use at least one article from an academic database (accessible via the library at TTC)

Include the URL or DOI in the MLA Work Cited entry.

All sources must be evaluated for strength.

You must have your topic approved before submitting the paper. The paper proposal serves as the means of approval. Topic:

Choose a topic that is culturally, socially, and/or politically relevant to the Charleston community one that matters to you. Start by looking in your local community (neighborhood, school, local business, etc.) to see if you can find an issue to raise and/or a problem for which you think you could find a solution. Your thesis will be grounded in the local solution, but you may rely on national data to support your claims.

This means that you should begin this process early by becoming familiar with current events in the local, national and/or global discourse. Although you will have considerable freedom to select the issue, we will work together to ensure that your topic will work for this assignment. You must also be able to make a clear, well-supported argument, which critically and intelligently states your opinions on the subject. Be specific and concise in asserting your position.

Topic categories: education, tourism, transportation, environmental issues/impacts, public health, housing, etc. You could also consider a larger/national/global issue as it applies locally.

When planning a persuasive argument, follow these steps:

• Choose your position. Which side of the issue or problem are you going to write about, and what solution will you offer? Know the purpose of your essay.
• A successful essay must provide specific and convincing evidence. Often it is necessary to go beyond your own knowledge and experience. You will need to read articles others have written on the topic, do research, or watch/read (wait for it…) the news.
• Structure your essay. Figure out what evidence you will include and in what order you will present the evidence. Remember to consider your purpose, your audience, and your topic.

The following criteria are essential to produce an effective argument:

• Be well informed about your topic. To add to your knowledge of a topic, read thoroughly about it, using legitimate sources. Take notes, and use signal phrases to establish each source’s credibility.
• Test your thesis. Your thesis, i.e., argument, must have two sides. It must be debatable. If you can write down a thesis statement directly opposing your own, you will ensure that your own argument is debatable.
• Disprove the opposing argument. Understand the opposite viewpoint of your position and then counter it by providing contrasting evidence or by finding mistakes and inconsistencies in the logic of the opposing argument.
• Support your position with evidence. Remember that your evidence must appeal to logos.
• Your sources must be evaluated for strength. The success of your argument depends in part on the selection of sources, which lends credibility to your claim and establishes ethos.
• When in doubt, favor the logical argument over the emotional one. While you probably will be impassioned by your cause, remember that you must argue thoughtfully, and with intelligence (establishing the ethos necessary for your reader to trust you).

RESEARCH:

You must have at least four sources for your essay. However, you may find that you will need even more. You must have at least one scholarly article from an academic database and one article from the Post and Courier. The additional sources may come from books, magazines, journals, online databases, or internet websites, but do not to rely completely on one type of source (such as using only Internet websites). You should evaluate your sources for strength and make sure that they are appropriate for an academic assignment.

Do not use Wikipedia as a source.

All sources must be represented within the text of the essay, which means that you must cite each source at least once. You will follow the MLA format for citing these sources.

Your essay must also have a Works Cited page that lists the sources used in your essay. It will be written according to the MLA format. It does not count toward the required length of the essay.

This weeks DQ has four parts. Please clearly segment your responses for better readability and be sure to include references. Briefly identify what initiated the Sarbanes-Oxley regulations and what impact it continues to have on business today. In your opinion, was it the right solution to the original problem it was intended to resolve? What have been some of the unintended consequences of SOX? Why as part of Governance, is it important to understand regulations as they relate to Process Improvement (PI) initiatives? 1 page, due weds

Question: Examine a real-world case study of a workplace conflict. What were the primary causes, and how was it resolved? Evaluate the effectiveness of the resolution approach and suggest improvements. Guidelines for Discussion Participation: Post Original Response: Each student is expected to answer the discussion question with a well-thought-out post, referencing at least one real-world business example or case study to support their viewpoint. Word Count: Each original post should be at least 300 words, demonstrating critical thinking and application of course content. Critique Peer Posts: Each student should select one peer’s post to critique, offering constructive feedback, asking probing questions, or providing additional insights based on their own research or experiences. The critique should be at least 150 words. Deadline: All posts and critiques are due by 11:59pm ET on Sunday. Grading: Each discussion assignment is worth 20 points, evaluated based on the depth of analysis, engagement with course materials, and quality of peer critiques, with 10 points awarded for the original post and 10 points for the critique of a peer’s post.

For our second writing assignment, we are writing a formal business letter of at least 250 words using one of the three templates from the Purdue Online Writing Lab (see Basic Business Letter Format (Purdue OWL). You may select from the following scenarios for your letter’s content: If you would like to own your own business one day, introduce yourself to a loan officer. Include your plan for your business, as well as your skills, goals, and vision for where you would like your business to be in ten years. If you are preparing to work in a particular trade, write a cover letter for your resume describing your work history and/or the training and skills that you would bring to the job. Why does this work appeal to you? Why do you think you would be a valuable employee? Now that the letter has been drafted, its time to think of a way to use social media to get the word out about your plans. In between 25-75 words, write a post that could be shared on Craigslist, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. explaining your qualities and qualifications. Include this post on the second page as an enclosure (see samples). This letter will be evaluated according to its faithfulness to the chosen template (line spacing, indentation, punctuation) as well as its content. Include an enclosures line and a separate page for the social media post. Check your work for grammar and punctuation errors.

PLEASE REWRIJT THIS IN AN EXCEL To calculate the cost and schedule variances for the project, as well as the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) and Cost Performance Index (CPI), we can use the following formulas: 1. Cost Variance (CV): CV = EV – AC Where: – EV (Earned Value) = Budgeted Value (or Planned Value) of the work performed = $272,000 – AC (Actual Cost) = Actual cost incurred = $270,000 CV = 272,000 – 270,000 = 2,000 2. Schedule Variance (SV): SV = EV – PV Where: – PV (Planned Value) = Scheduled cost = $261,000 SV = 272,000 – 261,000 = 11,000 3. Cost Performance Index (CPI): CPI = frac{EV}{AC} CPI = frac{272,000}{270,000} approx 1.0074 4. Schedule Performance Index (SPI): SPI = frac{EV}{PV} SPI = frac{272,000}{261,000} approx 1.0412 Summary of Results: – Cost Variance (CV): $2,000 – Schedule Variance (SV): $11,000 – CPI: 1.0074 – SPI: 1.0412 These results indicate that the project is slightly under budget (positive cost variance) and ahead of schedule (positive schedule variance). Both the CPI and SPI are above 1, suggesting good performance in both cost and scheduling.

please be creative, as well as substantial and clear using examples to reinforce your ideas.
