Interview Assignment Part IV

Interview Assignment Part IV

The interview assignment asks you to perform an informational interview with a professional within the Fitness and Wellness industry. The person does not have to be an owner but simply someone who is or has been highly active in the administrative and operations of any aspect of the Fitness and Wellness industry. For example, a personal trainer who successfully contracts services, a physical therapist who actively performs payroll and PT assistant hiring, a head or assistant coach who performs operational and budgeting tasks would all be acceptable.

 

     Before the actual interview, you will design several interview questions based on your interests as a fitness professional. The interview can be in person or via phone or skype.  Use the information gathered from the following video: How to Do an Informational Interview to prepare yourself for the interview.  Write out the questions before the interview. The interview should last between 15 – 45 minutes. Following the interview, write a summary of your findings. The summary, to be submitted for the Final (4th) Assignment, should be at least 3-5 pages, APA formatted, and should provide information on what made this person successful in his or her business, as well as any characteristics of the business that make it successful. Add your thoughts and comments on the experience with the interview and how your findings influence your thoughts on running or starting a business.

First Major Paper Assignment: Arguing for a Definition of Higher Education

First Major Paper Assignment: Arguing for a Definition of Higher Education

Description: Make an argument to define higher educationin a way that readers will find illuminating given the essays and excerpts from Chapter 18, “Education in America: Issues and Concerns,” in Read, Reason, Write. You must cite at least two of the readings from Chapter 18 to support your argument. 

Take care not to define higher educationas a dictionary, encyclopedia, or other outside source defines it. Instead, articulate a precise and defendable definition of your own, a definition whose merits you explain throughout your paper. 

Audience: Your readers are graduating high school students, many but not all of whom will enter college in a few months. So, as you write, consider what graduating high school students are likely to know or thinkthat they know about higher education. 

Context: Aided by the first few chapters in Read, Reason, Write, we have discussed and written about what an argument is, including how differing understandings of a term may rest at the heart of an argument. 

Also, we have addressed how definitions can matter—how the act of defining a term one way as opposed to another way can place people and their needs into new categories, can give or deny people access to ideas and services. 

For example, is obesity a disease? Well, what counts as a disease? Also, is it a college student’s right to be treated with respect? Well, what counts as a right—and as respect? As these examples show, precise and carefully supported and explained definitions of a fuzzy term can change minds and shape actions. Now is your opportunity to define a term in a way that you see fit, not as a dictionary or encyclopedia defines it, but as you think the term should be defined so as to influence readers in a certain way.

  4. Argue the need for organizations to take implement access controls in relations to maintaining confidentiality, integrity and availability (e.g., Is it a risky practice to store customer information for repeat visits?)
  5. Describe the necessary components within an organizations access control metric.

Cultural Ethnography Project

Cultural Ethnography Project

 

The cultural ethnography project is designed to help you explore an otherwise unfamiliar aspect of religious belief and practice. The purpose of this assignment is to learn, through personal experience and research, about a different faith tradition. You are to attend a formal gathering of a faith tradition different from your own and provide an ethnographic account of your experience. How you define “different” is up to you, as long as the denominational affiliation is distinct. For example, if you consider yourself a Baptist, you should not attend a different Baptist church from the one you currently attend. Consider all aspects of the experience: the architecture, the atmosphere, the music (or lack thereof), the attendees, etc. Consider developing some questions to discuss with a leader, though written sources are best. The paper should also provide a brief description of the tradition evidencing research from your textbook and at least one other source not from the Internet. The description should delineate the movement from other faith traditions and consider distinctions of the gathering you attend. More information about the assignment can be found on the course site in Canvas. The assignment length is 1500 words.
