The rest of this project will confirm whether your actions taken on 10/25/2021 (=answers to Q1/Q2) are indeed the correct hedging strategy at the end. If you don’t find sufficient evidence of lowering risk in Q3-Q10, it’s likely that your answers to Q1/Q2 are incorrect so revise your answers and solve them again, as necessary.

Did your peer review process lead to a more rigorous paper in the end? Did your peer reviewing of others’ papers give you any insights on how much work goes into vetting papers prior to publication or what pitfalls there may be in the process?

Peer review reflection

This is an opportunity for students to reflect on and distill some of the key concepts in the course and is different to a formal essay or report. After a series of group activities, it is also your opportunity to earn grades solely on your own thoughts and ideas.
We ask you to reflect the nature of the peer review process and your group activities as an approach to illustrating it. In Week 2 we discussed the peer review process and then ran through group activities participating in a peer review process as authors and as reviewers. Reflect on your own knowledge of the peer review process in theory (i.e., information that was delivered in lessons, linked resources, plus any further reading) as well as your own experience of the practice of peer review (i.e., the three phases of group activity). Reflect on whether the peer review process is the best possible approach for reporting climate science findings. Did your peer review process lead to a more rigorous paper in the end? Did your peer reviewing of others’ papers give you any insights on how much work goes into vetting papers prior to publication or what pitfalls there may be in the process? Outline the relative merits of the peer review process, as you see it. In your opinion, how could it be improved?

Construction process management

Assessment task details and instruc(ons
There are 3 Ques@ons to be answered in this coursework and all details are provided below 1. Shen, et al (2004) and several other researchers in the construction industry examined waste management in construction sites. However, waste management is a broader

Assessment Informa-on/Brief

concept not just limited to site management. A lot of commentators argue that the scope of waste management should be much wider, and that better value can be realised and achieved if waste management is considered very early in the design and construction life cycle. By researching into this area from both a process and waste management perspective (as two different bodies of knowledge) write a critical essay on how the build-up of waste can be minimised and costs can be optimised across the construction process.
[Maximum word count for the critical essay is 2000. This includes cover sheets, any table of contents, any appendices (if any) and the reference list. Ensure that no irrelevant appendices are added as it will unduly increase word count without adding much value to your mark] Note that the referencing style to be used is APA 7th .


2. You are required to construct a risk register for the below type of project based on the following details.
Identify eight possible risk events (from areas such as environmental constraints, planning, procurement of materials, labour supply and plant hire / movement, health and safety and other specific circumstances of project) for a city centre project delivering a high-rise block of apartments and construct an appropriate risk register to
include the chosen risk events. (the risk register should include / demonstrate the risk analysis into components and the overall risks (any associated colour coding), in the case of any interventions into mitigating any of the high risks and the resultant or the residual risks after the mitigation measures, and illustration of ownership of risks). You are also
required to construct a list of assumptions and / or considerations in articulating your risk events.

3. A housing developer has plans to develop a major residen@al estate in the outskirts of Manchester. They have put forward a plan to the local council to construct 100 housing units with other facili@es, infrastructure and a recrea@on area. Their proposal also includes a localised urban drainage system so as not to put pressure on exis@ng
infrastructure facili@es and services. The developer has already suggested a shorter construc@on dura@on so that the commercial advantages can be realised earlier amidst several compe@ng housing developments coming up in the area. Due to the shorter length of construc@on, it is an@cipated that the builders will incorporate an offsite

You are required to answer the following 4 parts based on the above scenario in Q3:

(i) Identify and Discuss the stakeholder engagement plan to op@mise the par@cipa@on of the stakeholders in this proposed housing development. [indicative word count = 750 words]  (20 Marks)

(ii) Discuss the role of resource leveling and effec@ve management of the construc@on programme to achieve shorter construc@on @me within the proposed housing development. [Indica@ve word count = 500 words] (10 Marks)

(iv) According to the RICS Guidance note (2017) “if Value Management (VM) is to have a significant impact, then it must be used from a very early stage of the project”.

The Watsons Go to Birmingham

Inquiry Essays (20%) In these essays, you will answer a Big Question for one piece of literature To avoid overlapping with other assignments, choose a literary text that is from the particular unit we’ve been covering.

 

Choose a different big question to answer for each of the inquiry essays — no repeating the same topic. Keep in mind that I know these texts, so don’t waste time and space writing a summary; the word “summary” never appears in the instructions below. Instead, focus on arguing for your answer and analyzing the text.

 

Your inquiry essays should be 400-500 words. The essays should be posted to the correct folder by 11:59pm on the assigned day. Each inquiry essay is out of 10 points (see below).

Follow these steps to complete the essay:

1. Pick one of the Big Questions (see below) to answer in relation to one of the literary texts (not How to Read).

2. Write a short introduction that identifies the text you’re writing about and answers the question in a nice, clear sentence that works as your thesis. Your thesis — which should be the last sentence of the introduction in these essays — needs to make sense, and the question you’re answering needs to be clear. (2 points) 3. Write two body paragraphs that support your answer. Each paragraph should have one direct quotation from the text (1 point) and an explanation of what that quote means, including how it supports your answer (1 point) This is analysis, and it’s important! (4 points total for the body) 4. Write a short conclusion paragraph that relates your two body paragraphs together and ties back into the thesis. (1 point)

Doing all of these components will get you 7/10 points or a C (average, meaning you met the requirements). The three remaining possible points are for accuracy, creativity, and good wri

Big Questions How does the text imagine national identity and/or ideas of American-ness? How are women represented in the text? How does the text agine manhood and/or masculinity? How does race work in the text? How do people in the text try gain power? How does the text address inequality? How does the text, or someone in it, work to create unity? How does the text, or someone in it, work to claim equality? What’s the relationship between the individual and the community?

1. Identify and describe one form of violence discussed in the chapter (e.g. child abuse, interpersonal violence, elder abuse, emotional abuse, etc.). In your description, make sure to explain how factors such as gender, race, age, or
socioeconomic status play into who perpetuates and who experiences this form of violence. (7 points)

2. Compare and contrast how this form of violence persists in the United States and at least two other countries discussed in the chapter. It may be helpful to draw comparisons between countries that differ greatly in terms of their
economies, gender norms, family dynamics, etc. (7 points)

3. Drawing on what we have previously covered in this class, choose a theory or concept that helps explain why the form of violence you have chosen exists. Some example concepts may be any of the feminist theories, world systems
theory, industrialization, globalization, etc. (7 points)
