You will evaluate the quality of a research article by completing an in-depth critique using a standardized form, adding definitions of each criterion to guide your analysis. Instructions to complete the critique are largely the same for both group and individual assignments, with exception of workload. You will use a different assigned article for each critique.
Requirements:
You will complete the entire critique independently (including the “Synopsis section”) and submit by the due date listed on the course calendar.
For this module’s assignment, use this research study from the Module Learning Resources: Pun et al., (2019). Caring for critically ill patients with the ABCDEF bundle: Results of the ICU Liberation Collaborative in over 15,000 adults.
Using the criterion definition to guide you, determine if the authors met or did not meet the standard for each criterion.
Provide evidence from the article to clearly explain and support your decision.
For individual critiques only: Under “Synopsis section,” clearly answer the questions and provide rationale for your decisions.
This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeEach critique question (1-20) can earn 3 points. This assignment is worth 60 total points (3×20=60).

Title: The Impact of Homework, Drinking Age, Social Media, and Independent Music Distribution in New Media
Assignment
Choose one of the topics and pre-existing texts below to respond to in a text drafted for new media. You are not required to film a video or edit a TikTok. Instead, you will be demonstrating an understanding of the rhetorical context of new media through drafting either a script for a video that would be posted to YouTube or some other video aggregate site or a blog post that could be submitted to a digital publisher specializing in reader-generated content.
Texts for Response (choose one)
“Editorial: How Can Kids Learn Without Homework and Rigid Deadlines? Quite Well, It Turns Out” by Los Angeles Times Editorial Board for the Los Angeles Times (opens in new window): Frame your response around whether or not you agree with the editorial board’s stance on homework and deadlines. Would it be better if we relaxed homework expectations for kids? Should this be implemented across all levels of education? Or is this dangerous?
“The Case for Lowering the Drinking Age to 18” by Shayna Herszage for The Yeshiva University Observer (opens in new window): Frame your response around whether you agree with the points made by Herszage. Why do you agree? Why do you disagree? What do you think the drinking age should be?
“I’m an Influencer and I think Social Media is Toxic,” by Lydia Keating for Slate (opens in new window): Frame your response around whether or not you agree with Keating’s take. Can you understand why she feels the way she feels? Can you understand why she continues to do the work even while feeling this way? How do you feel about the toxicity of social media in general?
“How Rap’s SoundCloud Generation Changed the Music Business Forever,” by Alphonse Pierre for Pitchfork (opens in new window): Frame your response around whether it is a good thing that artists are able to distribute their own music without record labels or do you think that the music industry was better when it was harder for people to be heard?
Grading Criteria:
You must refer to your chosen text in your response. You’re responding to it. Choose a handful of specific points made in the original text you wish to respond to. Quote the original and offer your take.
Think about how texts written for new media acknowledge sources. You must acknowledge any sources you use in your writing according to expectations for new media. This includes your chosen text and any other source material you incorporate.

Title: Analyzing the “Freshman 15” Phenomenon Using Summary Statistics and Graphs
https://www.statcrunch.com/app/index.html?dataid=4375823# – website for Freshman
_15
Background
Many college students are familiar with the term “Freshman 15” which is referring to the average 15-pound (6.8 Kg) weight gain that students my incur during their first year in college. The reasons students may gain weight will vary. Certainly, a change in eating habits, lack of exercise, long hours of studying and being sedentary, stress and anxiety are just a few examples of what can cause weight gain. For this activity, you will use a dataset to evaluate before and after weights for both males and females by conducting summary statistics, graphing your data, and drawing some overall conclusions based on your analysis.
Instructions
Part I:
Conduct this activity in MyLab by Pearson
Summary Statistics:
Select “Content” from the Brightspace Navigation toolbar.
Select “MyLab Statistics” from the “Content” menu.
Click on the “MTH 210 StatCrunch” tab
Click on “Open Link”
Select the “StatCrunch Website”
Under the Data Column > select “Data Sets”
Search for the data set “Freshman_15” and select the data
Analyze your data using the Stat pull-down menu:
Stat> Summary Stats> Columns
Click “WT SEPT” to move to the right panel
In “Group by”, select “Sex” from drop down menu
Select “Compute!” At the bottom right.
Copy and paste your results into a word document
Repeat the steps above just selecting for b. “WT APRIL” and copy and paste your results into the same word document.
Graphs:
You may choose histograms (1) or boxplots (2) to represent your data. If you choose histograms, you will create 4 graphs: WT SEPT Female, WT SEPT Male, WT APRIL Female and WT APRIL Male.
If you choose boxplots, both genders can be represented in the same display for a total of 2 graphs for both months.
Histograms (4 graphs total)
Graph > Histogram
Click “WT SEPT” to move to the right panel (repeat all steps again for “WT APRIL”)
In “Group by”, select “Sex” from drop down menu
Select markers (mean and median)
Select “Compute” At the bottom right.
Copy and paste your graphs into a word document (there will be one for F and one for M as you arrow over in your results)
Boxplots (2 graphs total)
Graph>Boxplots
Click “WT SEPT” to move to the right panel (repeat all steps again for “WT APRIL”)
In “Group by”, select “Sex” from drop down menu
Select markers (mean and median)
Hit Compute! At the bottom right.
Part II: Interpretation and Conclusions
Answer the following questions in the submission box below:
Use your knowledge from Module 1 to discuss the following:
How did the average weights change from September to April for males and for females?
Look at the median. Was there a significant shift between the months for males and females?
Describe the shape of the distributions of the graphs for both genders. Were there any potential outliers causing skewness in the data for either month?
Give your overall conclusions based on your analytical results. In this dataset, does it appear that gaining 15 lbs (6.8 Kg) on average is accurate over this time frame (a statistically significant change)? Explain.

Title: Analyzing Variances and Incentive Compensation at Berkshire Toy Company
Berkshire Toy Company
For question 1, you may use the worksheet on CANVAS.
Please note that this assignment is graded based on effort.
1. (a) Using the information in the case, prepare a flexible budget 1 for the Berkshire Toy Company using the actualproduct mix (174,965 units from retail and catalog sales, 105,429 units from internet sales, and 45,162 units from wholesale).
(Note: Prepare a flexible budget based on actual units sold multiplied by the static budget prices. Use a budgeted price of $42 for internet sales.)
(b) Using the information in the case, prepare a flexible budget 2 for the Berkshire Toy Company using the budgeted product mix (Note: According to the budget, 85% of the total sales volume come from retail and catalog sales, 0% from internet sales, and 15% from wholesale (refer to the table at the bottom of page 289)).
(c) Conduct the variance analysis by calculating the differences between (1) actual and flexible budget 1, (2) flexible 1 and flexible budget 2, (3) flexible budget 2 and static budget. List the factor(s) that drives the differences identified in (1), (2), and (3).
(d) Using the information in the case, subdivide the flexible budget variance (the difference between actual and flexible budget 1) into the appropriate price (rate or spending) and efficiency (usage or quantity) variances for materials, labor, and variable overhead.
2. Compute the bonuses earned in fiscal 1998, if any, by David Hall of the purchasing department, Rita Smith of the marketing department, and Bill Wilford of the production department.
3. Pick one of the managers (Rita Smith, David Hall, or Bill Wilford), and discuss likely explanation(s) behind the observed variances that form the basis of a manager’s compensation. Please use the information provided in the case. (word limit: 300 words)
4. What do you think about the current incentive compensation plan? How would you improve the incentive plan? And why? (word limit: 300 words) -
“The PACE of Innovation: Analyzing Tesla’s Disruptive and Architectural Innovations and their Impact on the Traditional Car Industry”
Hi there,
I have some main points but I won’t be able to write the entire paper on time. If you think is helpfull I will leave down each question, if you want to use it or not is up to you. Thank you very much.
The assignment is a report based on the video linked bellow.
“The PACE of innovation – ‘The list’ that shows what others need to do….but can’t !!!”
Watch the following Video and answer the following questions:
Car companies, in general, practice incremental innovation. What type of innovation is in evidence in Tesla? Support your answer with relevant examples?
Unlike incremental innovation, Tesla actions had higher risk. It opened a new market and instead of sustaining, it disrupted competitive advantage.
I believe Tesla is between Disruptive and Architectural Innovation. The following description are from my college slides.
3) Disruptive Innovation
•Market: Existing
•Technology: New
•Description: New technology is applied to an existing market, offering a new value proposition and potentially overtaking established market leaders over time.
“Disruptive innovation refers to a process that creates new customer value by entering an existing market with a new product or service. Ex: the creation of Tesla changed the way people perceive the car industry and disrupted the car industry.”
■4) Architectural Innovation
•Market: New
•Technology: Existing
•Description: Existing technologies applied to new markets involve reconfiguring product or system components for new applications or uses. Happens when existing products are redesigned to service a new market. Tesla cars are sustainable serving a new market.
Competitive Advantage: Businesses that introduce architectural innovations often gain a competitive edge. By reimagining their products, services, or processes, they can offer something new and valuable to customers that competitors find challenging to replicate quickly.
Market Expansion: Architectural innovations can create entirely new markets or open up previously untapped segments.
They have the potential to broaden a company’s reach and customer base.
Enhanced Customer Experiences: Architectural innovations can lead to the development of products or services that provide superior customer experiences. This can foster customer loyalty and lead to higher retention rates
2. How important is a culture of innovation in an organisation and how does Tesla operate innovative management initiatives/practices?
3. How can the ‘traditional’ car industry fight back? Should it fight back or develop new segments?
They need to change the company structure and CULTURAL, how they hire people, the production line, how they work, how do manage budget , use AI and automation to satisfy government requirements and get a quick approval.
4. Analyse the marketing strategy of Tesla. Musk seems to be indicating that his ‘Zero Dollar’ marketing strategy may not be working.
5. Has Tesla, as a brand, ‘crossed the chasm’? -
“Overcoming Obstacles: Michelle Obama’s Journey to Becoming First Lady”
Michelle Obama is an American attorney and author who served as the first lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017,
Michelle was raised in Chicago’s south side by her family of four. They lived in a little upstairs flat in a bungalow owned by her great-aunt. She and her brother, who was 21 months older, slept in the living room with a sheet dividing the space. Their family had some difficult times financially, even though they were not living in poverty. Her dad worked at a water-cleaning plant for Chicago, and her mom was a stay-at-home parent after working as a secretary for Spiegel’s.
Michelle finished from Princeton and Harvard Law School. At first, she worked at Sidley Austin and met her husband. Then she worked in nonprofits and as the associate dean at the University of Chicago. Later, she was vice president at the University of Chicago Medical Center. She married Barack in 1992 and they have two girls.
She tells about feeling put in a box as an angry Black woman by some media after she got into politics. She says, “It felt like there was a fake me causing trouble out there, a lady I kept hearing about but didn’t know—a too-big, too-strong, ready-to-take-power Godzilla of a political wife” —-~Becoming Michelle Obamas memior) Theses were some of the obstacles she faced as beging the First Lady racism, and begin stereotyped. -
