Course Journal Critically Reviewing the Introduction to European Regulatory Affairs Module

Prepare a course journal that critically reviews 7 lectures from the module (2,520 to a maximum of 3000 words). Each of the 7 lectures contributes 7% of the total mark for the portfolio of lectures.

The overall objectives of the course journal are:
To demonstrate knowledge of the overall topic of the module
Critically review each of the chosen lectures
To acquire skills in literature searching, data gathering and critical evaluation of the relevant literature
To acquire an in-depth knowledge of the laws and guidelines relating to Regulatory Affairs
To demonstrate skills of organisation and presentation of relevant information.

The course journal should be a critical discussion of the lecture and also include a list of three or more references for each of the 7 lectures.

Critical discussion of the lecture topic (which should demonstrate that you have read some references on the topic) (360-428 words for 7 lectures) covering for example:
The advantages and disadvantages of the regulatory requirements
Practical implications generally or for your organisation
Any ambiguity caused by any differences or inconsistencies between different regulatory documents or geographic areas
Provide any personal opinions to include evidence-based reflection and opinion on the lecture topic

Please specify the word count for each critical discussion and include it on the critical review.

List of references reviewed for each lecture
The course journal should refer to relevant regulatory documents, guidelines, legal documents, and published papers. These should be from three or more high-quality references for each lecture. These will not count towards the word count and should be listed at the very end of the course journal listed under each of the 7 lectures.

Include a contents page and list of abbreviations and number the pages.

Multimodel analysis

For this assignment, you will describe, analyze, and evaluate one of the short videos in the New York Times’ Op-Doc section. Here is a link: https://www.nytimes.com/video/op-docsLinks to an external site.

These are short, opinionated videos made by a variety of filmmakers to present unique points of view.

Remember: YouTube has these videos for free–you don’t need to subscribe. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4CGYNsoW2iCb4uQUNgWK6TJJgNVp-MpPLinks to an external site.

First, select one of these short films. View it several times so that you are clear on its message and purpose.

To begin your essay, you will want to summarize the Op-Doc and describe it to your reader (assume they have not seen the film). Identify the communicator and the message that they are delivering. Who is the audience? What is the filmmaker’s thesis? What is their purpose for creating this film?

Then, you will need to come up with your own thesis based on your viewing. Your thesis should tell the reader why this film was successful or not in persuading you of the filmmakers’ argument. Was this short film effective or not in achieving its purpose—was it convincing and persuasive? Throughout the body of your essay, you’ll be explaining what it was in the filmmaking (the visuals, imagery, text, music, composition, ethos/pathos/logos, etc.) that led you to this conclusion.

Here are some questions to think about as you view your film. You will shape the relevant answers into your body paragraphs. (you don’t need to answer all of these questions in your essay! Pick at least three areas to focus on–always including ethos/logos/pathos!).

What is the filmmakers’ thesis?
What is the structure? How is it organized?
What imagery is used? What connotations do you have with this imagery? What do the color choices say about the message and its purpose?
What is the purpose?
Who is the intended audience?
What is the tone of this film?
How is the thesis supported? What evidence does the author use to support their claim?
Note the ethos, logos, and pathos in this film. What does this tell you about the filmmakers and their message? How do those emotional appeals help persuade you (or help not to persuade you).
Has anything been left out? Does the argument feel incomplete? Was anything left out on purpose?
Is the argument biased? How do you know?
Was anything confusing or unclear?
What type of music is used, and to what effect?
What made it successful?
What features made it successful (these last two questions become your thesis!)

How might you explain the conflict in this case?

CASE STUDY

Tom Putnam, the president of a Boston publishing company, had been working for several months with a French architectural firm that was designing the company’s new printing facility in Fontainbleau, France. However, Tom was becoming increasingly frustrated with the many delays caused by the French architects. When the preliminary plans for the building – which the architects had promised by a certain date – had not arrived, Tom called them to inquire when he would be receiving the plans. The architects, somewhat indignant that he had called, felt that Tom doubted their integrity to deliver the plans. Tom was equally annoyed because they had missed the deadline, and what was worse, they didn’t seem to be the least bit apologetic about it. By the end of the phone call, Tom was convinced that his company’s relationship with the French architectural firm had suffered a major setback.

Obituary

Write an Obituary in 125 to 200 words. Find an example of a real obituary and attach the link to your own submission. When looking for an obituary

Be sure to include the following:

  • Address or at least hometown. A lot of modern papers are no longer printing addresses because of safety reasons.
  • Date of death
  • Cause of death. Most papers differ on this, but I see the trend to be that we do not discuss cause of death unless it is desired by the family. In the case of a homicide or murder, then the story usually transforms from an obituary into a breaking news story.
  • Occupation
  • Accomplishments
  • Time and date of services
  • Visitation information
  • Place of burial
  • Memorial information
  • Names of survivors
