/in /by

Purpose: This assignment will enable you to discover a short story’s use of elements such as theme, irony, metaphor, and symbolism. You will conduct a close reading of a short story and discuss the author’s use of these devices in his or her structuring and composition of the content. Applying a close reading and composing a literary analysis will prepare you for the many texts that you will read, summarize, and discuss in the workplace.
Task:
Write an essay analyzing one of our stories from this Unit that discusses why and how specific symbols, metaphors, or uses of irony are used to depict one or two of the themes from Unit 1 in a particular way. Your essay should incorporate details and quotes from the story (using parenthetical documentation with the author’s name), and you should use your own words to elaborate on the meanings of the details and quotes you use as evidence. Review your feedback from the Unit 3 Discussion on Analyzing a Short Story, as well as the posts and feedback of your classmates. Follow these steps:
You will closely read your chosen story, considering its themes, characters, organization, dialogue, and other literary elements. Take notes to outline later.
Format: You are required to use MLA style for all writing assignments. Proper MLA citation and a correctly formatted Works Cited page (12-point font, Times New Roman, double spacing, Last name and page number on each page, etc.). Please refer to the Purdue Online Writing Lab for MLA formatting and style guide.
Academic Honesty (all sources must be cited)
Length Requirement: 750-1000 words
No set number of sources to cite BUT the scholarly source from my annotated bibliography MUST be used and cited again on the works cited page
Note: In my assignments for this short story I have been harping on the how the storm is a metaphor for the Affair and that the Freudian defense used was regression since Alcee was a past lover of Calixta

History of disease: Include a clear description of the history of the disease including origins, significant individuals involved in the discovery of the disease, and the impact of the disease.
Reasons for emergence/data: Include multiple data points (DALY, mortality, morbidity, and risk factors) supporting the significance of the disease finding its way into the US and/or global population. Discuss how the disease is measured. Fully describe the reasoning behind the re-emergence of the disease (if applicable).

Determine in your opinion why certain blades performed better than others.

/in /by

 Summary

  • An executive summary should be brief. Be sure to discuss your set up and results.  Do not include statements in your report such as, “This will help me as an engineer.  I learned a lot about wind energy.” Stay focused on your results and keeping it concise.
  • The Executive Summary should be about 4 paragraphs. Use a professional writing style with full sentences. Reports are to be written without using the word “I” or “we”.

Task 1

  • Include the lab set up and a very short discussion of the results specific to Task 1.
  • See the procedures if any graphs are required for each task. For Task 1 include a graph of Power Output of the Turbine vs. Fan Voltage. Label graphs as Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 etc. through the lab. All graphs  should have proper titles and axes labels with units. Label tables as Table 1 etc.

Task 2

  • Include the lab set up and a very short discussion of the results specific to Task 2.
  • For Task 2 include a graph of Wind Power Wind Velocity.

Task 3

  • Include the lab set up and a very short discussion of the results specific to Task 3.
  • For Task 3 include a graph of Turbine Efficiency vs. Wind Velocity.

Task 4

  • Create 4 different turbine blades. You will be testing them one at a time.  Include a picture with labeling of the different turbine blades in the report.
  • Determine in your opinion why certain blades performed better than others.

Task 5

  • Explain your experimental plan and what was the effect of changing the hub angle, the number of blades etc.. Include a table of the data.
  • What was your conclusion?

Task 6

  • See the procedures for the calculations. Show your work.

Conclusions

Put in the conclusions any possible improvements that could be made to the lab.  A very quick overall summary of your results can be added. Stay focused on your experiment but any referenced facts about wind turbines, efficiencies etc. can be added in the conclusions.  Do NOT copy and paste from the sources or your team mates. Plagiarism is considered academic misconduct.

Your report should be only one word document.  Include your data sheets in the report but not as a separate Excel document.  If you wish, you may copy and paste the individual tables from the data sheet into the specific tasks rather than attaching to the end of the report.  It is highly likely a part of your report will be missed on grading if the report is in two documents. Do not expect the instructor to search for the pieces of the report.  The final report should be submitted on Blackboard.

Explain the logic behind your ordering/sequencing in your reflective letter

/in /by

In this assignment, your goal is to create a public syllabus modeled on the “Trump Syllabus 2.0” discussed in class. The entirety of this project should be published and openly viewable online. Exactly where you choose to publish it–via WordPress, for instance, or Wix–is up to you.
Reflective Letter Component
You will also upload a reflective letter as part of the assignment. This letter should be typed, double-spaced, in 12-pt size font. The letter should be approximately two to three paragraphs in length. In it, I would like you to explain your use of logos and ethos.
By “logos,”  Give me an overall sense of what the logic is behind the course’s progression from week one to its final week. For instance, do you start off with background information and a short history of your topic, and then break things down in the subsequent weeks into several issues/themes/research questions pertaining to the topic?
By “ethos,”
Rubric
Exigence: __/25 points
Part of the challenge here is selecting an issue or event to form the topic of your syllabus. Be sure to pick a topic that’s worth having an argument about—one that has exigence.
To this end, the syllabus should contain introductory statement that is roughly 4-6 paragraphs in length. This statement should appear somewhere so that it is one of first things a visitor to your web site sees. Its job is to offer a basic introduction to the topic of the syllabus, and to make clear what this issue’s exigence is or why this syllabus devoted to this issue needs to exist.
Logos: __/40 points
The syllabus should be divided thematically into weeks (at least 10), as exemplified by the ”Trump Syllabus 2.0.” Each week should have its own topic header and a list of secondary and primary sources relevant to that subtopic. (These sources should be listed in MLA Works Cited page format.)
The weeks and their respective themes should be sequenced in a logical way. There should be a basic logic for why one week’s theme follows the previous week’s theme. *You will explain the logic behind your ordering/sequencing in your reflective letter (see above).
create at least two assignments that could be assigned to students in the syllabus for your hypothetical course. For each assignment, write approximately one paragraph explaining its format and purpose. Include this list of assignments at the end of your syllabus in an “Assignments” section. See the “Trump Syllabus 2.0” assignments (viewable here: http://www.aaihs.org/resources/trump-2-0-assignments/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) for inspiration.
Ethos: __/25 points
You should have a good mix of secondary and primary sources—at least one primary or “multimedia” source per week, and at least three secondary sources per week. While some of your secondary sources may be op-eds and editorials, a larger percentage of them should be scholarly or peer-reviewed and found using the UM-Dearborn library. You will discuss your rationale for why you chose the sources you did in your reflective letter.
Clarity: __/10 points
Write clearly and make sure you proofread.
