choose only one question and write about it/

1-Explain the role played by scholastic and familial networks in the Shia revival in Lebanon.

2-Explain how different interpretations of historical events, e.g. the conflict over the succession of Mohammed and Karabala, impact Sunni and Shia Islamists’ views on the political role of women.

The  paper (8-10 pages) should address a research question. In other words, the paper must be analytical not only descriptive. Students need to make arguments supported by evidence not just personal statements. Students can only use academic sources (books and journal articles). They should consult at least 7 academic sources in writing the final paper.

How is Holden’s character revealed through his conversations, thoughts/feelings, and actions throughout the novel? (Prompt for thesis)

Your essay should focus on one character trait of Holden. Your thesis statement and each body paragraph should focus on that one character trait of Holden as it is relates to Holdens thoughts/feelings, conversations, and actions.

Use your work from your Body Bio assignment and the outline provided to help you develop your thesis and brainstorm the focus for each paragraph. The outline is not optional. Plan first.

The body paragraphs can be in any order that you see fit, but I suggest that you consider doing it chronologically based on the part of the book that you are analyzing. 

Your essay should include the following:

An introduction with a well-crafted thesis statement as the last sentence. Highlight your thesis.

Body Paragraphs (3): Each body paragraph should have a clear topic sentence, textual evidence that is correctly integrated and cited, and clear “so what” moves explaining the significance of your evidence in relation to your thesis. 

Topic sentence 1: identify the character trait of Holden as it is revealed by his conversations with others

Topic sentence 2: identify the character trait of Holden as it is revealed by his thoughts/feelings

Topic sentence 3: identify the character trait of Holden as it is revealed by his actions

   3.  A conclusion, or the “so what” move to your entire paper

Other parameters to remember:

Each quote needs to be from a different part of the book (beginning, middle, and end).

Do not use the phrase “this quote shows” to introduce your textual evidence. This is lazy and too formulaic.

Avoid referencing yourself or the reader to maintain a formal academic style of writing. You cannot use these words: I, I’m, we, us, me, you, your

You may not use a quote from one of our tone assignments we used in class.

As with any literary analysis, you should use literary present tense when discussing the content of literary works or other artistic creations.

Using a salary calculator site (glassdoor.com, onetonline.org, etc), find an average salary for your desired profession ( which is Social Worker). Then use a paycheck calculator (e.g., link HERE  (Links to an external site.)for a payroll calculator) to estimate your monthly take home pay. Plan a budget for yourself for a month. Expenses should include rent, utilities, transportation, insurance, meals, entertainment, student loan payments, credit card payments, etc. Outline every expense you are calculating and justify the total allotted for each expense (i.e. average rent in Denver is $1500, if you budget $750 for rent, why? do you have a roommate?). Try to follow the 50-20-30 rule discussed in the video from this learning module.

Knowing that emergencies happen, say you have to take care of a sick family member for 5 working days and haven’t earned paid time off yet. Now do your monthly budget minus one week’s pay. 

• What changed for you when you had to recalculate your budget?
• Does this change the way you feel about your occupation of choice? Why or why not?
• What does it mean to you to give up certain things?
• Beyond paycheck, what other benefits do you want to look for in a job?
• What does it mean to you that your job may not monetarily provide you with everything you need or want? How will you resolve this?
• Do you plan on continuing your education after your Bachelor’s degree? Will that help or hurt your financial situation? Long term/short term?
• Did you see a difference between budgeting for life after graduation versus the way you currently budget?

Papers should be 2 pages double spaced. You may add an additional page outlining your two different budgets. 

A normal distribution is not a naturally occurring phenomenon, but the assumption of normality is a basic premise for many statistical analyses. If your data is not normal, or approximately normal, certain statistical tests cannot be performed because the results obtained may not be valid. Researchers often go to great lengths to perform tests on their data to determine if their data approximates a normal distribution within certain parameters and reasonable limits. 

So, what is normality and how would you define normality? 

1. First, do some research on your own and look up three different reputable sources that define normality from a statistical perspective and combine those definitions into one, reasonable, comprehensive definition of normality. You can use your textbook as one source, so you will need to find two additional sources that define normality from a statistical perspective. 
2. Second, justify your definition by using the sources of information you’ve identified to support your definition of normality. Why is your definition better and more comprehensive than what is currently used in many textbooks?
3. Finally, find an aviation-related research article that uses the assumption of normality, describe and summarize that study and the analyses used, and explain why the analyses may not be valid if the distribution was not assumed to be normal.
