Math/Physic/Economic/Statistic Problems

Q1. Define economic growth. Discuss how you measure economic growth. Obtain data on economic growth from WDI for your specific year. Produce a histogram of growth rates.Label it and provide a title for it. Discuss the distribution of growth rates.(5 marks)

Q2. Obtain data required to compute openness to trade from WDI. Produce a scatter plot of openness to trade (x-axis) against growth (y-axis). Based on visual inspection, discuss any pattern and outliers in the data that emerge. Identify the outliers and discuss the impact of outliers on the regression.(5 marks)

Q3. Present a table of summary statistics. This table should contain number of observations, average, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum for both variables.(5 marks)

Q4. Compute and present a correlation matrix. Discuss correlation between growth an2 openness to trade.(5 marks)

Q5. (1) Specify a regression model that explains how growth rates depend on openness to trade. Estimate the model, present results in a table and discuss your results.(10 marks)(2) Based on the regression results, what is the marginal effect of openness to trade on growth rates, and what is the elasticity of growth rates with respect to openness to trade?(10 marks)

Q6. In the model specified in Q5, are there any omitted variables that should also be included? If yes, please identify additional variable(s) that should also be included in the model in Q5, and briefly discuss the reason why the variable(s) should be included. Specify a new regression model which includes the variable(s) that you identified as omitted variable(s),estimate the new model, present the results in a table, and discuss your results. If no, please discuss your rationale.(15 marks)

Language Domains and Universal Design

Observe at least one grade K-12 classroom with ELLs. Focus your observations on how the alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.

Discuss with your mentor  ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction.

Additionally, discuss with your mentor how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and English language proficiency (ELP) standards can inform instruction.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Write a 250-500 word summary of your discussion and observation, and reflect on the application of UDL to your future professional practice.

Your reflection should address the following:

How elements of UDL could inform ELL curriculum and instruction

A brief explanation regarding alignment between ELP standards and learning objectives

What is the angle, or the major idea bout the artist (or artwork) that you are exploring?

/in /by

For this project, students will research any artist of their choice from the 1700s to the present. You will identify a specific idea that you want to focus on for this artist. Remember, this is not a ‘biography’ paper – there needs to be a focus beyond just details of the artist’s life and art. Make sure you are clearly identifying your theme in this proposal.

Write a draft introduction paragraph for your final paper that tells the reader what the paper is about (i.e. introduce your theme). Remember this is not a biography paper, so your introduction should go beyond “we will explore the art and life of X X artist.” What is the angle, or the major idea bout the artist (or artwork) that you are exploring? Your introduction should be no less than four complete statements, but will likely be more than this.

Finally, you should list at three of the sources you plan to use to write your final paper. These should be listed in APA format. Remember that Wikipedia it not a scholarly source – so do not include that

Explain how Oedipus the King could be read as Sophocles’ response to the Sophists.

/in /by

Write a 3-5 paragraph response to EACH of the prompts below. Include specific references to relevant texts from our syllabus and make sure you support whatever you claim.

1).  Though it’s a little reductive and doesn’t work in every way, use the video to discuss how Gilgamesh satisfies most of Campbell’s characteristics for a classic hero in Western culture.

Refer to the video as you want, but don’t worry about direct quotes or citations or a Works Cited page. Just refer to it freely.

2). Explain how The Odyssey is an expression of ancient Greek values.

3). Explain how Oedipus the King could be read as Sophocles’ response to the Sophists.

4). Choose Medea and/or Odysseus and think of how each of them could be criticized for “bad behavior” by modern readers.

In what ways could an understanding of some of the ancient world’s obsessions help lessen some of the criticisms a modern reader might have toward one or both of these characters?

What risks (both legal and non-legal) does the company face if they decide to provide the customer information to the FBI without making any changes to the Privacy Statement or informing customers?

/in /by

 

You have already made some significant contributions to operations and have caught the eye of the CEO. One day she asks you to come to her office. When you get to there, she asks if you know anything about privacy laws.

You say that you took an excellent cyber law class at ODU but before you can explain how privacy was just one of many topics covered in the class the CEO interjects,  Without giving you a chance to say anything, she proceeds to explain that the company has been approached by the FBI to voluntarily provide DNA information about customers to assist them with an investigation into a series of unsolved gruesome murders that took place 20 years ago. You start by checking the Privacy Statement:
Access To Your Information

With our service providers​, as necessary for them to provide their services to us.

With qualified research collaborators​, only if you provide your explicit consent.

We will not​ share your data with any ​public databases​.

We will not​ provide any person’s data (genetic or non-genetic) to an ​insurance company​ or ​employer​.

Exercise/Assignment

Write a memorandum (use common memorandum format such as To (CEO), From (You), Subject Line, Date) that is broken up into four parts:

Part One: Summarize the privacy concerns raised if Who Am I? provides customer DNA information about their customers to the FBI.

Part Two: Do you believe a greater societal need (identifying criminals) outweighs or does not outweigh the privacy concerns? Explain your position.

Part Three: Does the company Privacy Statement cover this situation? If not, what steps could Who Am I? take before making the customer DNA information available to the FBI?

Part Four: What risks (both legal and non-legal) does the company face if they decide to provide the customer information to the FBI without making any changes to the Privacy Statement or informing customers?

Outside references (properly cited) that support your position are good additions.
