English
Reflect on these authors’ analyses of some of the texts we’ve read, thinking about some of the following issues: What did you find most

interesting? What new insights did they offer you about the work? How convincing were their arguments? In what ways did they confirm your own

interpretation? Challenge it? How did they use quotations from the literary texts? Choose one example that you found especially useful and

explain why.

must include: formula of the polymer, what its made from, what it is used for, that it is a synthetic polymer, any interesting information

 

Problem Solving
Scenario 3: You have two jobs—one during the week from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and one on Saturday from 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm. You are taking two classes—one

that meets from 6:00 to 10:00 pm, and one class online. You have two kids—one who plays soccer, and one who is in band. You have two elderly parents who

no longer drive. You have two siblings—one who lives two (2) miles away, and one who lives in another state. You have two (2) papers due in your classes

the same week that one (1) of your children has a soccer tournament, and the other child has a band concert. You are coaching the soccer team, and you

are in charge of fundraising for the band. You have a goal to complete your degree in two (2) years. Your doctor tells you that your blood pressure,

your cholesterol, and your weight are too high and recommends several medications that cost you nearly $200 per month after your insurance co-pay.

Review the six-step problem solving process outlined in the webtext, based on the article “The Problem Solving Process” located at

http://www.gdrc.org/decision/problem-solve.html:

Step One: Define the problem
Step Two: Analyze the problem
Step Three: Generate options
Step Four: Evaluate options
Step Five: Make your decision
Step Six: Implement and reflect

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Define the problem in the scenario that you have chosen.
2. Analyze the problem in the scenario.
3. Generate options for solving the problem in the scenario.
4. Evaluate the options for solving the problem.
5. Decide on the best option for solving the problem.
6. Explain how you will implement the decision made and reflect on whether this option was the most effective.

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style

format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover

page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

 

 

 

 

The Cost of Justice
MINI-PAPER 2INSTRUCTIONS
The purpose of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your ability to apply a working knowledge of the theories, terminology, and concepts covered in this course to conduct independent research in order to perform a cost/benefit analysis on “The Cost of Justice.” Briefly research expenditures on corrections at the state and federal level and apply your findings to the modern American conception of justice.

You will provide an analysis of your research findings that considers the following questions: What is justice? Are we achieving it? And what are the costs of justice (cost/benefit analysis)? Keep in mind, costs can be recognized in multiple denominations—think beyond finances to address larger issues.

The body of your paper must be no more than 3 pages. In addition to the body, your paper mustinclude a title page, abstract, and reference page. Your paper must adhere to current APA format throughout, and your writing must be supported with properly formatted in-text citations. You must include at least 2 sources in addition to the Bible. Sources must be scholarly, reliable and relevant to the topic, and current to within the last 7 years. The intentional and appropriate integration of Scripture must be present, as it relates to the topic.

 

Module 4 – Case INSTRUCTIONS
RISK: Assignment Overview
Scenario: You are still a consultant for the Excellent Consulting Group. You have completed the first assignment, developing and testing a forecasting method based on linear regression (Case 3). However, your consulting manager at ECG wants to go the next step and investigate another forecasting method. It is important to do a thorough job for the client, and you have the expertise to analyze different forecasting methods. You have decided to look at the sales data for client’s lottery app as a single data set and use a time series analysis, namely SES, single exponential smoothing.
Case Assignment
Using Excel, use the forecasted sales from Case 3 to compute the MAPE, by doing the following:
1. Calculate the MAPE for the first 12 months (assume the forecast for Month 1 – or January – is equal to January’s actual sales). Use 0.15 and 0.90 alphas.
2. Using the forecasted sales for Feb – April (taken from the Case 3 Linear Regression exercise), compute the MAPE by comparing actual sales for each month, or Y(t) to forecasted sales, or F(t). Compare this 3-month MAPE to the two MAPE values you calculated in your SES analysis above. Use the following table:

Month Sales, Y(t) Sales F(t) Y(t) – F(t) PE APE
February ? ? ? ? ?
March ? ? ? ? ?
April ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ?
ME MPE MAPE

Then write a report to your boss that briefly describes the results that you obtained. Using MAPE values, make a recommendation on which method appears to be more accurate — SES or Linear Regression.
Data: Use the data that you previously have generated from your analyses in Case 3.

Assignment Expectations
Analysis
• Accurate and complete SES analysis in Excel.
Written Report
