Project idea Proposal memo

Project idea Proposal memo
Assignment 1 (10%)
DUE DATE: February 2, 2018
CMNS 1140
Darren Francis
 
Assignment objective
You will be writing a 2-page memo worth 15% of your grade.  In the assignment, you will be proposing to research a “workplace” problem or opportunity.  You need to think about a situation in a company or organization you know (work, church, student society, club etc.) that presents an opportunity for you to complete some research to solve the problem. Then, over the next few weeks, you will complete the research and submit your suggestions in OC-Assignment 3 that is due the last week of class and is worth 25% of your grade.
Topic Examples
 You might recommend that your company or branch (not a large international company) create a mentoring program for new employees.
 
 You might suggest a new inventory management system to reduce loss.
 
WARNING
Be sure to pick an organization that will really listen to you (although you don’t have to give them the report). Make sure that it is a small manageable realistic project that your project sponsor will support your recommendations.  The goal is to write a report that could be acted upon if your project sponsor wanted to.
 
DO NOT provide the recommendations in the proposal. You will not know what to do until you’ve completed the research and are writing OC – Assignment 3.
 
The university has an ethics policy which does not allow you to do research with people e.g. surveys etc. (unless you have research approval and have gone through the research ethics course), so do not propose surveying people or doing primary research.
After you receive my feedback, you may send your proposal to the project sponsor at the organization you are planning to work with. You only need to convince the person in authority that this is an important problem or opportunity and that you have the skills to research it and provide great recommendations.
 
In a proposal you “propose“ what you are going to do. It is very costly to conduct research and write a long report, so employers require that you write a proposal and get their approval before you research and write a report. Employers want to be sure that you can write an effective report that will solve the problem, address the situation, or fill the need. You have to convince them that you can do the job.
You can refer to chapter 11 in your textbook for more information on proposals.
 
 
 
Identify and carefully explain each part/component of the problem or opportunity so that the audience fully understands the overall problem (or opportunity) and its underlying causes. If your audience approves your explanation/analysis of the problem, it will be much more willing to support your proposal (and later your recommendations).
 
 
Note: This topic that you are proposing that your boss allow you to research will result in your final class project is a 6-8 page recommendation report (due the last week of class),
 
What you must submit as part of your proposal:
 

  • A 750 word proposal to research solutions to a problem or take advantage of an opportunity. DO NOT provide me with any recommendations in the proposal.
  • A Works cited page following APA format listing at least 2 articles you will use to complete your research.

 

  • At least one visual that is used effectively (a table is appropriate)

 
 
Remember that the sources you will use in your report must be current and reputable – with at least 2 from scholarly and professional journals in the field.
 
In your proposal, also discuss any primary research interviews with industry experts that you wish to conduct to solve the problem, or take advantage of the opportunity.

Essay: Character Development in To Kill a Mockingbird
To Kill a Mockingbird is a character-driven novel. There are many different stories in the book, many different plots that unfold and entwine, but every one of these plots relate back to the main story of the book. Let’s look now at how the main characters change and grow
To Kill a Mockingbird is about two children growing up. They learn lessons about morality, courage, community, and social justice, and these lessons change them, change how they see and understand the world.
The themes in the book are revealed, explained, and explored through the characters. If the need for compassion is a theme in the book, it will be explored by seeing how Scout and Jem learn about the need for compassion. To trace the themes in the book, a reader must observe how the main characters relate to those themes.
When looking at how a character develops, the reader must pay close attention to clues in the text. Give particular attention to the moments when a character struggles with something emotionally or intellectually. Notice the moments when a character fails or succeeds and how they interpret that failure or success. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus acts as a moral guide for Jem and Scout. Often times, he helps them as they work through their character growth and development and tries to set them on the right path.

Assignment 1: Biology Article
Due Week 5 and worth 120 points
Use the Internet and / or the Strayer Learning Resource Center to research aspects of biology.
Select  an article from a magazine or newspaper that has something in it that  pertains to biology. This will serve as the “target article” for this  assignment. For instance, you can select an article about medicine,  invasive species, nature, conservation, genetic technology, ecology, or  any other topic that is related to biology. One purpose of this  assignment is to help you become aware of how biology is related to your  everyday life.
Write a one to three (1-3) page paper in which you:

  2. Explain  how the article relates to this course. Identify which biological  concepts from the course and / or text are relevant to the topic covered  in the article. Citing the course text, discuss the ways in which this  course does (or doesn’t) provide background information to help you  understand the article and the larger issues surrounding it. 
  3. Explain  why the article caught your attention. Relate the article to your life  and to issues that are important to you. Discuss how or if the  scientific knowledge about the topic covered in the article affects you  directly or indirectly.
  4. Discuss  your opinion on how research on this topic should be funded. State  whether you think taxpayer monies should support research on this topic  or whether such research in this area should be funded by the private  sector. Rate the importance of research on this topic, relative to other  areas of research.

In addition to  the target article, you should use at least one additional resource,  such as your textbook or another article.

Your post should also be at least 125 words  in length. Additionally, please respond to at least one other discussant  on any topic.
Topic 1. Tumor-suppressor genes versus Proto-oncogenes. This is a library-research topic in which you are required to provide your sources.  Mutations in tumor suppressor genes can contribute to or cause cancer,  just as mutations in proto-oncogenes can also contribute to or cause  cancer. However, tumor suppressor genes are very different from  proto-oncogenes.

  • (a) What is the basic difference between a tumor suppressor gene and a proto-oncogene?
  • (b) Explain how mutations in these very different types of genes can cause or contribute to causing cancer.

Topic 2. Sexual Reproduction in Unicellular Eukaryotes.  Watch the instructor’s video about “Sexual Reproduction in Unicellular  Eukaryotes”, which is found in the Instructor Insights section for this  week.
