Gupta, A Beginner’s Guide to New Testament Studies

Students will read the entirety of Gupta, A Beginner’s Guide to New Testament Studies, and write a 3-page report on three chapters of the book. Each student will pick three topics (debates) outlined in the book and provide a brief summary of each debate. A clear, concise (1-page) summary of the debate should be discussed and a brief, evaluative report on how beneficial the debate is in the study of the NT. The student should note why the debate is beneficial and provide an example from the NT where the topic could be utilized. For example, a student may choose to discuss the debate on The Synoptic Problem. After clearly outlining the issues of the debate, he/she may discuss how the Synoptic Problem can be viewed through John the Baptist’s ministry in Mark 1; Matthew 3; Luke 3.

The cruise industry and tourism sustainability

Discuss the topic critically, drawing on the sustainability concepts and issues covered in this class. You should base our review, discussion and analysis on tourism literature and case examples. You may use one or more case examples (from the literature or websites) in your essay (this is however not a requirement). You can also reflect on a case known to you, a place you have visited or experience you had (this however is not a requirement, but you are encouraged to do so if possible and applicable). In the text of the essay, unpack the nature of the tourism type chosen, consider spatial issues (where does the type of tourism take place; who are the affected communities?), and weigh positive and negative outcomes while reflecting on sustainable/ responsible tourism (economic, social and environmental) considerations. Also include recommendations for improvement and state clearly whether these are for visitors, government (policies for planning/regulation/development), firms (tourism enterprises) or other stakeholders (indicate whom).

1. Make an argument

Essays receiving the highest marks will always have developed a strong argument.

The argument should be logical, meaning the connections between different points should be reasonable and supportable

Your argument should be stated in the introduction and the body of the essay should provide a reasoned series of connected points for why the reader should accept that argument

A strong argument will consider counter-evidence (opposing theories or examples) to all points raised and show why this counter-evidence is not as convincing as the evidence for your argument.

2. Answer the Question

You should provide an answer to the research question asked or problem addressed in your essay

3. Draw on appropriate evidence

What counts as appropriate evidence may vary for different subjects or courses within politics. However, an essay is never just your opinion, all essays require you to support all points of your argument with evidence. Evidence may be drawn from literature, public policies or data, and even news sources where appropriate.

5. Focus on theory (I attached theories as screenshots please use them)

Include key considerations from the theory/literature in your essay and engage with these ideas throughout your essay. You would reflect on the theory in your discussion and conclusion parts of the essay

6. Reference appropriate sources

Identifying, using and referencing reputable sources is critically important both for functional reasons (so the reader can follow up where the information came from) and for ethical reasons (to give credit where it is due and avoid plagiarism). Using poor sources or not referencing sources in text would both significantly negatively impact your grade.

Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Schizophrenia, Other Psychotic Disorders, and Medication-Induced Movement Disorders

Psychotic disorders and schizophrenia are some of the most complicated and challenging diagnoses in the DSM. The symptoms of psychotic disorders may appear quite vivid in some patients; with others, symptoms may be barely observable. Additionally, symptoms may overlap among disorders. For example, specific symptoms, such as neurocognitive impairments, social problems, and illusions may exist in patients with schizophrenia but are also contributing symptoms for other psychotic disorders.
For this Assignment, you will analyze a case study related to schizophrenia, another psychotic disorder, or a medication-induced movement disorder.

To Prepare:
• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about assessing and diagnosing psychotic disorders. Consider whether experiences of psychosis-related symptoms are always indicative of a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Think about alternative diagnoses for psychosis-related symptoms.
• Download the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. Also review the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Exemplar to see an example of a completed evaluation document.
• By Day 1 of this week, select a specific video case study to use for this Assignment from the Video Case Selections choices in the Learning Resources. View your assigned video case and review the additional data for the case in the “Case History Reports” document, keeping the requirements of the evaluation template in mind.
• Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
• Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.
• Identify at least three possible differential diagnoses for the patient.

By Day 7 of Week 7
Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate primary diagnosis.
Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

• Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?

• Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?

• Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5 criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.

• Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

Discuss and apply theoretical concepts and frameworks outlined in the module and the recommended readings.

Assignment Task Four Resource Management

As the arena construction phase nears completion in Q4 2023, the professional team have re-focussed attention on the logistics and management of phase 4 – the arena fit-out, concession areas and commissioning.

With the main contractor having left site, additional site management resources will be required to co-ordinate and control the fit-out works for each retail and food unit as well as specialist equipment to be installed in hospitality areas, the TV Studio and Media Centre.

It has been decided to recruit a number of assistant project managers to support the construction manager and safety manager plus another administration assistant.

The assistant project managers will cost £300 per day plus £100 per week expenses.

The projected breakdown structure and resource need is as follows:

 

4a. Prepare a resource budget for the assistant project managers and administration assistant (assume that no additional office accommodation is required).

4b. Develop a week-by-week resource histogram (column chart) showing the number of assistant project managers required.

4.c It would be desirable to limit the peak assistant project management resource to a maximum of three as the recruitment agency have expressed concern about their ability to source enough suitable candidates. Suggest how the programme might be revised to achieve this constraint and identify any consequences and the resource budget saving.

 

Assignment Task Five Project Evaluation

The project director to whom you report fears that the main contractor’s schedule to construct the arena is too optimistic. Nevertheless, it is essential that the arena is complete by the end of 2023, so that there is sufficient time for the 6- month phase 4 fit out and commissioning and the 3-month ‘soft launch’ phase.

You and your project assistant have looked at the contractor’s programme and, together, determined optimistic and pessimistic durations for each activity:

5a. Analyse this data and, using the PERT technique, assess the probability of the arena construction works being completed before the end of December 2023.

5b. What conclusions do you make as a result of your findings?

 

Assignment Task Six Earned Value

A progress meeting with the arena main contractor was held in February 2023 and the consultant quantity surveyor tabled a financial report on the budget expended to date (to 31 January 2023):

Using the Earned Value approach determine the following:

6a. Calculate the estimated cost of the arena construction at completion.

6b. Calculate the estimated total duration of the arena construction and identify the estimated completion date.

6c. Comment upon the results.

 

Assignment Task Seven Project Monitoring and Reporting

The main contractor’s progress report, presented at the February meeting identified progress made as follows:

Analyse this information with respect to the project plan you prepared in response to task one and prepare a “traffic light” progress report indicating the status of each task on the following basis:

Red Stage in progress falling more than 5% behind plan
Amber Stage in progress (broadly in line with plan) or not yet started

Green Stage completed or at least 5% ahead of plan

7a. What conclusions do you draw?
