Gun control

 
Using the example of the gun issue, analyze the roles of interest groups, political parties, and campaign finance in the political process. Write a 1,250-word essay, particularly considering the relationship between large campaign contributions and federal policy and legislation. Search online to explore news stories such as Washington Post, March 28, 2013, “Top donors threaten Dems: Do the right thing on guns, or no more money”; the New York Times, April 15, 2014, “Bloomberg Plans a $50 Million Challenge to the NRA”; and The Hill, April 12, 2014, “NRA Endorses McConnell in KY. Primary.” Visit www.votesmart.org to examine gun control and gun rights interest groups’ ratings of candidates. To assist in your analysis, search www.opensecrets.org and select two interest groups on opposite sides of the gun issue. Identify each group’s top recipient of contributions. Examine the legislation sponsored by each of those candidates.

Dropbox Assignment 1: Genre Analysis

Read the section “Six Major American Genres” in Chapter 3 (pp. 90-117). Watch the tutorial videos, and complete the Interactive Exercise. You might also find this site helpful: filmsite.org’s genre descriptions.

Watch one of the movies listed below. Even if you saw it in the past, you will need to re-watch it to provide the level of analysis and specificity this assignment requires.

Write a two-page essay (roughly 750 words) describing how the movie does AND does not fit the criteria for BOTH genres, and possibly additional genres.The essay should not exceed four pages. If the essay is more than a few lines under two pages, it probably does not adequately develop ideas.

Blade Runner (Scott, 1982): sci-fi, film noir
Children of Men (Cuaron, 2006): sci-fi, drama
The Godfather (Coppola, 1972): gangster, drama
Star Wars (Lucas, 1977): sci-fi, Western
Singing in the Rain (Donen, 1952): musical, romantic comedy
The Shining (Kubrick, 1980): horror, drama
Unforgiven, (Eastwood, 1992): classic Western, revisionist Western

Art History of Costume (Museum visit)

Assignment 2:
Museum Visit Essay, 500-600 words: Due by 6pm, Monday Nov. 16
All assignments are worth 25 points and will be graded according to a rubric, which you can find on BBLearn.
These are exercises in writing thoughtfully and critically about course material as you study actual objects outside of
class. The goal is to formulate your own opinions about fashion and design and express your perspective(s) in
writing.
For this essay you will need to take a trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. You can get
in for FREE with the Fall 2015 AWCOMAD sticker for your Drexel ID’s. I will hand
stickers out in class (Oct. 5th and 19th). If you did not get a sticker, stop by URBN 130 (my
office) during my open hours (see syllabus) to pick yours up.
Your assignment is to choose ONE piece of art made between 1920-1959, that you can
discuss in the context of fashion history. It can be a photograph, sculpture, painting,
furniture, anything other than actual clothing or accessories—as long as you can discuss
its design qualities alongside trends in fashion design of the same period.
It might be helpful to review each decade we discussed and note the examples of art
movements given in each slideshow. The goal is to connect the dots between what you
have learned thus far about costume history and how it is related to the history of art. Be
sure to discuss the following:
 Introduce your chosen object. Include its name, maker, date,
material, size, and any other information given on its label.
o If non-flash photography is allowed (look for signs or ask a
guard), include at least three photographs of your selection
OR
o If photography is not allowed, sketch the image in pencil.
o Include at least three photos or sketches in the body of your
paper, with a caption underneath it I will have no idea what
your object is unless you EXPLICITLY tell me about it!
 Describe your object as thought you didn’t have an image of it.
Talk about color, shape, size, texture, technique. I will have no
idea what your object is unless you EXPLICITLY tell me about it!
 What drew you to this object? Was it difficult to decide on a piece?
 Relate the piece back to what you learned about costume history.
Does it follow the style lines of a certain kind of art movement? Is
it easy to date based on its appearance? Does it stand out in any
special way? Does it represent any kind of social issue that
affected fashion? Does it remind you of any kind of fashionable
object? Are there similarities between the object and something
you’ve seen in fashion? Give your opinion and support it with an
explanation.
If there is text about your object (either in the gallery or elsewhere), feel free to include those ideas, if
they support your viewpoint. However, remember to always cite the source and explicitly state that the
ARTH 337 History of Costume III Fall 2015
idea came from someone/somewhere else. Please write coherently in paragraphs—do not answer the
questions in bullet points. Make an effort to transition from topics in a clear manner

• (a) The user concerns:
• (b) Your rationale for the design (ie – simplified the user experience by…)

It is paid much attention to his own views. You might copy the idea from the summary part. Please more focus on the summary. And please give a particular examples from films or TV programs in the second part.
requirement:
At least half to two-thirds of your paper should be devoted to a brief summary of the article or chapter you have chosen: you will need to be as concise as possible, covering only the main themes or arguments of the reading and identifying any key terms used by the author; cite page numbers where appropriate. The final third (or so) of your paper should be used to critically assess the value of the reading with regards to its contribution to your understanding of cinema technology. You may refer to an example of a scene from a film, television program or video game if it helps you to make a particular point with regards to the article or your critique; however, space is limited so these should be kept at a minimum (one or two at most) and any description of the scene should be as brief as possible.
Length of the responses: approx. 500–600 words each

number chinking

 
I conducted an experiment that dealt with a principle related to memory. The experiment had two different groups. We selected 6 particpants randomly and also randomly placed them in either group 1 or 2. Group 1: non-chunking vs. group 2: number chunking, with a total number of 6 participants, 3 per group.
In group 1, I read the numbers “703189751236” in a continuous monotone fashion out loud to the participant, then the participant repeated as many number as they could remember back to me. I repeated this process with 3 participants. In group 2, I read the same numbers, but instead I read them in groups of three with slight pauses in between each section, I read them out loud to the participants like this “703 189 751 236” and again they repeated as many numbers as they remember back to me. Group 2 also had 3 participants. The point of this experiment was to prove that group 1, the number chunking group, would recall more numbers than the non-chunking group. The independent variable is: chunked numbers vs. non-chunked numbers. The dependent variable is how many numbers were recalled.

In the results section you must put a bar graph with the mean and standard deviation from your results data sheet.

Only reference should be the text book: Psychological sciences 5th edition, 2016, by Gazzangia, Heatherton, and Halpern.
