Part-II- Critical Thinking Question

  1. “Problem-solving is a daily task in any business. But what to do when significant problems keep coming back? Think about the last major problem you encountered.

Identify the relevant information, and see problems, plot holes, or character flaws is not something that comes easy.

Script Analysis

Good story creators are hard to find. The ability to dissect a script or story, easily identify the relevant information, and see problems, plot holes, or character flaws is not something that comes easy. That’s why it’s important, as you are in beginning this process for your project, to analyze an existing script.

Additionally, you should find at least one major issue with the script (plot hole, character flaw, etc), and offer two solutions or options as to how that issue or problem can be fixed.

Good story creators are hard to find. The ability to dissect a script or story, easily identify the relevant information, and see problems, plot holes, or character flaws is not something that comes easy. That’s why it’s important, as you are in beginning this process for your project, to analyze an existing script. For this written assignment, you will first find a script from the Internet Script Database (imsdb.com). You make select any script you like – film, television, animation. Once you find a script you like, read it all the way through. It might help to print out the script and make notes throughout. Then, you will take the script you researched/read from the online reading section and, in a 2-page analysis, dissect it. While this is essentially an opinion paper, you want to correctly identify the following areas: Rising action Plot/Conflict Major characterizations (protagonist, antagonist, etc) Additionally, you should find at least one major issue with the script (plot hole, character flaw, etc), and offer two solutions or options as to how that issue or problem can be fixed. Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

Choose two stories of interreligious encounter which you found to be the most interesting and/or surprising and explain why you found them to be so.

Discussion question

Question:

Choose two stories of interreligious encounter which you found to be the most interesting and/or surprising and explain why you found them to be so.

Note your answer should be around 250 words in length and you should cite two sentences that support your answer or that you think is related to the answer. in the citation just include the page number for example: “Virtue is power, force, strength; evil is weakness.” (p307)

Critically analyze whether technology-aided learning in Higher education has the potential to develop an inclusive learning environment.

DISCUSSION ESSAY

Overarching research question:
Critically analyze whether technology-aided learning in Higher education has the potential to develop an inclusive learning environment.

Research question 1.1
Identify the factors necessary for creating an inclusive learning environment in higher education.

Research question 1.2
To analyze whether a technology-aided learning environment can enhance learners’ attainment.

In addition to the proposed research questions, the literature review will also explore the impact of technology-driven learning on;
• The challenges of creating an inclusive learning environment through technology.

Since it goes without saying that adult performers in the pornography industry almost always freely contract their services, why would some feminists be so anxious to claim that in this matter appearances are deceptive: that they have in fact been coerced?

COERCION AND THE SEX INDUSTRY Discussion

Since it goes without saying that adult performers in the pornography industry almost always freely contract their services, why would some feminists be so anxious to claim that in this matter appearances are deceptive: that they have in fact been coerced? You often hear the same claim made about another arm of sex commerce: prostitution. What about that?

Compare the market price of the target company with the value estimates using EV / E * BDITA ratio and P/E ratios.

Discussion 4

Step 4: Follow the example in Q4-2, work out the relative valuation for your target company in the project

For your target company, also pick three to four companies in the same industry for comparison

  • Collect financial statement for both the target company and its comparable.
  • Estimate EBITDA P / E ratio, EV/EBITDA ratios for both the target company and its comparable
  • Estimate the Enterprise value and equity value using the comparable EV / E * BITDA ratios
  • Estimate the equity value using the comparable P /E ratios.

Compare the market price of the target company with the value estimates using EV / E * BDITA ratio and P/E ratios.

Convert this value to knots, where 1 m s-1 = 1.94 kts. How well does the observation match the calculation? Draw two arrows depicting the balance between the Coriolis force and pressure gradient force on the map in 2b.

Lab 8 – The Geostrophic Wind and ENSO

All questions subsets are worth 5 points.

1.) Recall that the Coriolis force can be computed as where V is the wind speed (in ms-1),   is the earth’s angular rotation rate about its axis, and  is the latitude.

On an isobaric map, the pressure gradient force is computed as where g is the gravitational constant of 9.8 ms-2, Z is altitude,  is the difference between two altitude lines, and d is the distance between the altitude lines.

 

The geostrophic wind is balance between CF and PGF. To avoid sign confusion, and since wind is always a positive value, we’ll use absolute values. Solving for V gives where  represents the geostrophic wind.

  1. Consider this 300-mb map from Nov 1, 0000 UTC. The fastest winds are surrounded by shaded isotachs. Label the polar jet with PJ and the subtropical jet with SJ. (5 pts)
  2. If one zooms into Washington

Compute the geostrophic wind. Assume the latitude is 48.2486ºN, m, and d = 175000 m.

  1. Convert this value to knots, where 1 m s-1 = 1.94 kts. How well does the observation match the calculation?
  2. Draw two arrows depicting the balance between the Coriolis force and pressure gradient force on the map in 2b.
  3. If this situation were in a trough, the observed wind will be ( more less ) than the geostrophic wind.

2.) The Troup SOI is used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to assess ENSO conditions. The equation is:

= (average Tahiti MSLP for the month) – (average Darwin MSLP for the month)

= long-term average of  for the month in question

= long-term standard deviation of  for the month in question

Tahiti’s average pressure is usually larger than Darwin’s average pressure, and the differences also vary monthly.

Hence, it’s the monthly pressure anomaly differences, normalized by their monthly PDIFF standard deviation, which best measures the Southern Oscillation. The multiplication by 10 simply provides a more relatable value range.

Using this convention, the Troup SOI ranges from about –35 to about +35. It is often rounded to a whole number. Sustained negative values of the Troup SOI < −8 indicate an El Niño episode. Sustained positive values of the Troup SOI > +7 indicate a La Niña episode. Sustained values between -8 and +7 indicate “neutral” ENSO conditions.
