What exact services do you agree to? Where does your work begin and end? For example, if your contract is to design a logo, how many revisions will you provide? Consider your final deliverable; when is the work complete? What won’t you do? How will you deliver the work?

Freelance Contract

Instructions Following completion of module content outlining essential and optional contract components, follow the guidelines to draft a fictional freelance contract. You may draft your contract as a Letter of Agreement or in an outline format. Do NOT use a contract template from the internet.

• Create a header. Include your contact information and your logo, if you have one.
• Date the contract.
• Name the other party. Include the party’s contact information.

• Outline the scope of services. What exact services do you agree to? Where does your work begin and end? For example, if your contract is to design a logo, how many revisions will you provide? Consider your final deliverable; when is the work complete? What won’t you do? How will you deliver the work? Be detailed; the scope is the legal substance of the contract.

• State due dates. Outline the project timeline. Include due dates for all deliverables, including benchmarks to show progress and final delivery dates.

• State the consideration/pay. Specify dates and amounts for deposits, if applicable, as well as the project total price and due date. Cite whether or not expenses will be reimbursed. Consider including late fees for late payment on deposits or final payment and/or a “kill” fee if the other party cancels the project .. .

• Agree on rights. As a work-for-hire in your industry, who will own the rights to the work? Remember, this will vary by industry. A graphic designer, for example, who creates an identity system for a client likely turns the rights over to the client. A photographer, on the other hand, may negotiate limited rights. Turn to industry association websites (researched earlier this semester) for industry guidance.

• State an expiration date. When will the offer of services expire? You may include a specific date or simply say “upon completion and payment” or similar verbiage (Tapia). • Include other elements you think are important and common to your industry, such as non-compete clauses or nondisclosure clauses.

• Identify and label components as “required” or “optional.” For example, you might highlight all required components with one color and optional components in another.

Critically evaluate the Lean Start Up Approach and reflect on what you have learnt about successful entrepreneurship and innovation. In doing so consider what other factors are critical beyond the ‘Lean Start Up’ Approach.

Entrepreneurship & Innovation

The student is required to utilise the knowledge and skills gained through the module to generate an idea for a ‘new’ venture, evaluate its possibility for ‘success’ and reflect on your learning. This could be for a business or social enterprise.

This will require you to:

-Use appropriate frameworks discussed during the module to generate potential ‘business’ ideas.

– Develop one of those into potential ‘business’ opportunity and present it in the form of a ‘Lean canvas’

-Apply appropriate approaches to Research the potential opportunity and re-evaluate your original ‘Lean Canvas’ with a clear indication of whether it is feasible.

-Critically evaluate the Lean Start Up Approach and reflect on what you have learnt about successful entrepreneurship and innovation. In doing so consider what other factors are critical beyond the ‘Lean Start Up’ Approach.

Week #8

Mini-Report Instructions

Congratulations!  We have reached the point in the class where you will now be asked to conduct a mock study and write up the results as a mini-paper.  We are going to share these mini-reports with each other as a discussion so everybody will be able to see each others’ examples and therefore have a better idea of how to run statistical tests and write up the results.

This will help accomplish our course themes/goals of 1) asking and answering questions with statistics, 2) telling stories with data, and 3) choosing the correct statistical test.

To complete this assignment, you are asked to generate a scenario that would require the use of a one sample or independent samples t-test, write your research question and matching hypothesis, generate fake/mock data, enter that correctly into SPSS, calculate one of the types of t-test which is appropriate to analyze that scenario, and explain your results.  It would be best to write your replies in MS word, save them, and paste them into this discussion so you don’t lose any work.

The sections of this mini-report are
  1. Title
  2. (2 point) Brief introduction to the scenario (explain what you are comparing, what the variables are and what your null and alternative hypotheses are.
  3. (3 pts) Brief explanation of the methods
    1. Explain the sample size, sampling method, and measurement methods you might use to have collected the mock data for your study.  Use about 20-30 data points.
    2. Explain the descriptive statistics and charts which you might use to first analyze the data and check the sample for outliers and normality.
    3. List your choice of alpha level and explain that choice.  Will you use the standard p<.05 level or a different criterion and why?
    4. List which of the two types of t-test (one-sample or dependent samples) would be used to test your null hypothesis and explain why that is the correct choice.  This should include explaining the “assumptions” for using t-tests.
  4. (3 pts) Results [ Annotated SPSS t-test ouput tables, courtesy of UCLA ]
    1. List the descriptive statistics for your data.  List any charts which accompany them.
    2. Paste in the t-test results table for your data
    3. Report the descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) and the inferential statistics (t-test results) in APA format.  https://www.socscistatistics.com/tutorials/ttest/default.aspx
    4. Explain whether or not you rejected the null hyothesis and why
    5. Calculate Cohen’s d statistic as your measure of effect size and report that value ( https://memory.psych.mun.ca/models/stats/effect_size.shtml and click here for a theoretical tutorial).  Note for this section – be sure to enter the correct values from your SPSS table into the Cohen’s d calculator.
  5. (2 pts) Interpretation
    1. Write a brief description of your results and what it means about your research question.  Was there a difference between the means you looked at and what would that tell you about the primary research question?  Interpret the effect size measures. End with the final take home message about what your study shows and comment about what you learned or what you have questions about based on this assignment.
  6. References (if any)
  7. Also attach your SPSS Viewer file and SPSS Data file with your post using the attachment button (the paperclip) from the discussion editor menu.
  8. Your questions, comments, and replies to classmates are worth the other 5 points in this forum.
