Overall Task
This paper gives you the chance to think about interdisciplinary approaches (or research methods) used by scholars (in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences) to research Kansas landscapes.

Assignment
In 500-750 words, explain the methods scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences use to research Kansas landscapes.

Suggested Outline
Paragraph 1: Introduce the Kansas landscape topics that we have discussed during this course (EVRN 171). You should introduce the source materials (texts & paintings; data on Kansas farms & farmers; water quality data) that we have used in class (to better understand Kansas landscapes) and provide a brief summary of each. Look at your notes, course readings, and in-class activities for the source materials and types of Kansas landscapes topics that we talked about during class.
Paragraphs 2, 3, 4: Explain the interdisciplinary methods and sources that are used to research Kansas landscapes. What types of knowledge are scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences interested in? You should use examples from our class to illustrate your points. For example, what type of scholar would research the Days of Darkness: Fighting the Elements, from Pioneer Women? What methods would they use when researching that text?
Paragraph 5: Explain the advantages of an interdisciplinary approach to Kansas landscape topics. What is gained by using multiple disciplinary approaches? What would be missed if environmental studies were approached from only one discipline? You should include at least one specific example of a Kansas landscapes topic from the class to illustrate your points.
The final paper should be submitted on Blackboard by 5 p.m. on Friday, May 6 (Stop Day). The submission link is posted under Assignments. You are welcome to submit your final assignment early.

This is the Part 2 of the Business Operation Simulation Report, in this simulation we form a 5-member group to run a health inspect sensor product company Eire and compete with other 5 groups. In simulation we need make decisions for 4 departments: R&D, Marketing, Production and Finance. I am majorly in charge of Finance departments and also provides some data and analysis for other departments. Total 4 rounds. We need achieve as much cumulative profit as possible. We at last achieve 2nd place in 6 groups.
For the Part 2, i need write the group and self team player reflection (i thought Major part is self reflection and the group reflection can be little part).

The instruction is:
Part 2 (700 words)
Group reflection – First person narrative. Include your value (week 1), team player style (week 4) and any other relevant theory and how that contributed to your groups effectiveness.

Again, do not fall into the narrative trap. This means comments such as
I was product manager… I did something that helped the team…

Include material from the course such as:
What type of team player style did you have? (Week 4)
Collaborative
Challenger
Communicator
Contributor
What were your top values? (Week 1)
Applicable theories of leadership (Week 9)

Questions to ask yourself:
Has your behaviour been true to your team player style?
How has it helped your team to work effectively?
What could you have done better to improve your results and team working?
How have your values shown up in your team working? Or how have they been compromised?
Did you display leadership characteristics in your group? If so, what were they and could you relate this to any theory of leadership you covered in lectures?
(Hint: look at the Teams and Team-working and Leadership chapters in your unit reader).

For the team player style, i am a contributor. For the top values, i am GIVE and DRIVE. Also apply some leadership theories. (For the team player style, top values, leadership, i will attach the relevant materials about definition)

Also i will attach some samples which are written by other students for reference, be aware of plagiarize check.

Please use at least 4 references for supporting.

Instructions
In this Assignment you are working with the same patient from the previous unit. Background information: Imagine that you are working as a nutrition assistant under the supervision of an RD at a privately owned nutrition consulting business. A local physician in the area has referred a patient to your company, and the supervising RD asks you to perform a preliminary nutrition assessment on the patient based on the referral information and medical chart information. The patient is a 55-year-old male.
Ht: 6 ft.
Wt: 235 lbs.
Medical history: mild hypercholesterolemia (on Zocor), hypertension (on Toprol). Both are under control with the medications.
New Diagnosis: GERD
Referral notes: Patient has been placed on a common Proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) for management of GERD. Further outpatient nutrition consulting and assessment is requested by the primary care physician. The doctor prescribed the medication and expects that the patient will need to be on this medication for the long term management of GERD. The patient is complaining of tiredness, recent depression, some odd numb/tingling in the toe area of the foot, and also thinks that he has gotten sick a lot more since his PPI (proton pump inhibitor) medication dosage has been increased.
In the previous unit, you assessed the patients risk for drug-related nutrient deficiencies. Now, imagine that the supervising dietitian has asked you to design a nutrition intervention and management protocol that will address the patients nutrition issues as well as the underlying nutritional status that may be contributing to the overall need for the patient to be on the anti- GERD medication.
Develop a protocol that includes:
1. Include the patients weight status and overall clinical background/medical history (calculate BMI and associated weight category).
2. Review his medical history and clinical symptoms and discuss the possible reasons why he is requiring such high doses of the anti-GERD medication.
3. Include a summary of the patients nutrition-related problems and possible nutrient deficiencies. Please include references to support your ideas.
4. Design and develop a 2-day meal plan for this patient that will address the possible nutrient deficiencies (you may recommend separate dietary supplements if you feel that is necessary). Include a complete nutrient analysis summary chart or table that includes the total calories, all three macro-nutrients, and the vitamins/minerals that are of concern for this patient.
5. Can this new dietary management protocol help in the management of GERD? Describe the overall goals for the patient and how the management of the GERD symptoms can help reduce the need for high dosages of PPI (include references here).
6. How does this 2-day diet plan meet the patients needs? How will it help in the management and improvement of the possible nutrient deficiencies?
Requirements
Include your answers to the above assigned questions in a 3-page essay. (The 2-day dietary plan can count as one of the page length requirements). Please use at least two references. APA format is required.

Employing an academic writing style (formalized/standard English, spelling, punctuation and grammar) compose a (250 word minimum) essay based on the attached article. Students will be evaluated on their papers organization, clarity of thought and sociological analysis. Feel free to write more than the minimum in order to thoroughly address the topic.

Instruction: First, examine the article as a whole & briefly discuss its thesis. Next, you will select and support the framework(s) (e.g. Family Dynamics, Mobility Issues, Poverty Concentration, Ethnic/Racial Differences, etc.) you believe best explain this social problem. Finally, as a responsible member of a democratic, civil society, use your critical thinking and analytical skills to present a plan for specific changes that you would implement to resolve this social problem. In other words, imagine you are planning to begin a social movement; what steps would need to be taken? In what ways would you engage others by developing a deliberative dialogue regarding this issue? What role would you personally assume to achieve this change? What forms of civic infrastructure, scientific assessment, etc. could help forward your solution? How would you utilize public opinion and public policy/law to address this issue? What source of funding would you need to acquire? Students are encouraged to support their argument with direct textual evidence and sociological insights (applicable terms and concepts learned over your semester of study).
As your instructor scores your essay they will look for evidence of the following criteria:

(1) The Student’s writing includes a through introduction which implicitly or explicitly references the essay’s genre, purpose and audience.

(2) The students writing uses appropriate, relevant and compelling content to illustrate their specific position, which is imaginative, takes into account the complexities of an issue and the limits of the position while recognizing other competing points of view.

(3) The students writing communicates meaning to readers with clarity, fluency, and is virtually error-free.

(4) The students writing presents the Issue/problem to be considered clearly, describing the position comprehensively, delivering all relevant information necessary for full understanding.

(5) The student writing connects and extends knowledge (facts, concepts, theories, etc.) from the academic discipline of sociology (i.e. makes inference to at least three sociological theories, concepts and/or facts from the course primary text).

(6) The student writing connects their analysis of the social problem to civic engagement and to one’s own participation in civic life, politics, and government.

  The “How are you Culture” Clash “WHEN an American asks me this question, it’s like a wall of ice crashing down between us.”The question my Moscow-born friend Galina was referring to had nothing to do with Putin, or Pussy Riot, or the culinary ethics of adding ketchup to your pirogi. And yet, it is the back across which Russian-American relations are broken.The question in question is, “How are you?”The answer Americans give, of course is, “Fine.” But when Russians hear this they think one of two things: (1) you’ve been granted a heavenly reprieve from the wearisome grind that all but defines the human condition and as a result are experiencing a rare and sublime moment of fineness or (2) you are lying.Ask a Russian, “How are you?” and you will hear, for better or worse, the truth. A blunt pronouncement of dissatisfaction punctuated by, say, the details of any recent digestive troubles. I have endured many painful minutes of elevator silence after my grandmother (who lived in the Soviet Union until moving to the United States in her 60s) delivered her stock response: “Terrible,” to which she might add, “Why? Because being old is terrible.” Beat. “And I am very old.”Cue desperate thumbing of the “door open” button.It feels as if I’ve spent half my life trying to smooth over the bafflement of my American friends and the hurt feelings of my Russian expat family as a result of this innocuous inquiry. “ ‘Fine’ makes Russians think that Americans have no soul,” I explained recently to an American-born friend. “That they just want to go home, eat a frozen dinner in front of the TV, and wait out the hours before going to work to make money again.”He laughed, then quickly sobered. “You know, there’s something to that.”But if the American “fine” can come off as plastic and insincere, the speed with which Russians unload intimate details is just as disturbing. I was born in Ukraine to Russian parents, but I grew up in the United States, and I get it. It’s like, “I don’t know you, Random Russian Lady, so why are you showing me your rash?”The thing most Russians don’t realize is that, in English, “How are you?” isn’t a question at all, but a form of “hi,” like the Russian “privyet!” The Americans weren’t responsible for its transformation; that honor goes to the British. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the phrase’s precursor, “How do you do?” as a common phrase “often used as a mere greeting or salutation.” The anodyne exchange dates at least as far back as 1604, to Shakespeare’s Othello, where Desdemona asks her husband, “How is’t with you, my lord?” and Othello replies “Well, my good lady.” Even though he is half-mad with jealousy and only five scenes away from murdering her.Whereas it’s easy to read a particularly American optimism into the easy embrace of the auto-fine, Russians seem almost congenitally unable to fake fineness.The Russian food critic and cultural historian Anya von Bremzen recently offered me an intriguing hypothesis as to why this might be the case. In Soviet days, proclamations of joy, enthusiasm and optimism were associated with state propaganda and officialese. As a citizen of a Communist utopia, you were pretty much supposed to feel fine all the time (never mind the time you spent squabbling over the communal stove or waiting in a two-hour line to buy toilet paper). So, Ms. von Bremzen explained, a moan or a complaint would be considered a more authentic, non-state-sanctioned response to “how are you.”I liked this theory, but my father scoffed when I suggested it was the Soviets who devalued “fine.” By way of explanation, a quote from Dostoyevsky arrived in my inbox: “The most basic, most rudimentary spiritual need of the Russian people is the need for suffering, ever-present and unquenchable, everywhere and in everything.”Maybe that’s not such a bad thing. Psychologists at the University of Michigan have shown that, while Russians are, indeed, more prone to brooding than Americans, their open embrace of negative experiences might ultimately be healthier, resulting in fewer symptoms of depression.Recently, when I looked through a few American guides on traveling to Russia, I was disappointed to find that they all suggested that tourists adopt the American approach to “How are you” (“kak dela” in Russian) and lob back a hearty “Khorosho!” My advice? Don’t let “How are you” be your Waterloo. Instead, take a vacation from fineness.If you lack the Russian vocabulary to fully express your unquenchable suffering, fear not — a lot of angst and ambivalence can be packed into just a word or two. Try “tak-sebe” (so-so) or “normalno” (the usual) or “eh” (eh). Even “fine” is fine. Injecting a world-weary sigh before your “khorosho” can neatly reverse its meaning, or render it shorthand for that other, more satisfyingly nuanced, response: It’s complicated.

 You get 50 points for the conservative policy analysis, 50 points for the liberal policy analysis, 50 points for the creative conservative presentation, 50 points for the creative liberal presentation. You need to reference your team members positions and provide arguments that counter their position and their proposal.  Each of you needs to complete an analysis and presentation — but it needs to be coordinated with your team mate as they are arguing for a DIFFERENT solution to the same issue.  Each student completes their own analysis/presentation — based on the work that the other student is doing.So — you have ONE topic/policy that is defined, analyzed and presented from ideological perspective. Put another way….100 points of 200 points are for your creative demonstration of ideas and economic thought as applied to a problem and presented from 2 different perspectives;100 points of 200 points is for your in-depth critical thinking and analysis — your WELL-CITED and PROPERLY referenced use of ECONOMIC THEORY as applied to a single problem as analyzed from 2 different perspectives. In other words…Half of your final grade is related to your creativityHalf your final grade is related to your quantitative analysis skillsIn more words….I am grading you on your ability to think creatively and apply critical thinking to real-world problems.  Everything must be well-written and properly referenced and cited, or it is not professional and will not be acceptable for a 300 level college course.  Writing and critical thinking are vital to your long term success, and I want to make sure you get to practice those skills.  You are all smart individuals, show me what you got! PS — for example, let’s say we look at illegal immigration.  One team member argues for one position (say build a wall and deport all illegal aliens) and the other argues for another solution (instant amnesty for all and citizenship for all).  Using the tools of economics (demand, supply, taxation, deadweight loss, changes to GDP and employment, public provisioning of social services, fiscal vs monetary policy….) would argue for why their stated position is rational and preferable to the other side’s position. Each team member takes on the persona of a policy wonk for one side of the political divide and makes strong arguments USING ECONOMICS for the position of the party/candidate.  My solutions above are clearly extreme versions of what the current political debate is — and I certainly take no side in this debate and will not criticize or mark down any assignment for the ideology or philosophy.  Positions must use data, facts, theory, and logic — this is not an opinion piece — even though the issues can be very heartfelt. This is an exercise in applying critical thinking and analysis skills to complex problems. MORE INFO:1) as a policy advisor for the leading US presidential democratic contender; and

Overview
The purpose of this paper is to familiarize you with a current issue facing Congress and with how you can have your voice heard. Begin by finding out about current and upcoming issues before Congress. You could also address a regular occurring issue, such as the next budget or an issue that has been on-going, such as immigration. You can find information about issues facing Congress at the magazine Roll Call, the online news source, Politico or the New York Times Inside Congress page. Once youve identified a current issue that interests you, clear the topic with your instructor and then do some research. Submit your paper to the dropbox by midnight on Sunday.
Directions
Part 1
In a paper of about 3 pages (not counting a title page and bibliography) describe the major features of the issue. For example, for a bill you should describe the major provisions, as well as who will be affected and how. The paper should identify the major actors involved in the bill or issue and their efforts to support or oppose it. Those might be key members of Congress, organized interests, the President or others. Include the views of both proponents and opponents of the bill. Find out where your Representative or Senators stand on the issue. Conclude your paper by taking a stand on the issue. Explain and justify your position.
The library has databases of publications on its resource page that can help you find articles about your issue. Papers should include a bibliography with at least 3 sources used to investigate your issue. The bibliography and citations in the text should follow APA format. A very good source on current issues in the librarys databases is CQ Researcher that has full text reports on many current issues; youve been reading many of their reports each week. Recent issues of CQ Researcher might also give you an idea for a paper topic.
Part 2
The second part of the assignment is to write a letter to your member of the House or Senate or to the editor of a local newspaper about the issue or problem that you researched.
Letter writing tips: 1) Know what you’re talking about. 2) Be respectful. Even if you disagree with someone’s position, you can do so in a courteous way, 3) Be brief. Staffers don’t have a lot of time to devote to each letter. Keep the letters to no more than a page. Turn in a copy of the letter with the first part of your assignment. Send the original copy to the elected representative or the editor and see what kind of response you receive.
