  • “The Controversial Tesla Pay Package: A Case Study on Executive Compensation and Shareholder Approval”

    On January 30, 2024, Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of the Delaware Court of Chancery, struck down Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay packageLinks to an external site. at Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLALinks to an external site.) after finding the process for securing its approval “deeply flawed.” New media used titles such as “Elon Musk’s $55.8 Billion Tesla Pay Package Struck Down by JudgeLinks to an external site.” when reporting on the lawsuit. Musk’s pay package in question, which consisted of 12 tranches of stock options, has fully vested, though he has yet to exercise any of those options. Shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favor of the package in 2018. For all the options to vest, Tesla—valued at less than $60 billion at the time—needed to reach a market capitalization of at least $650 billion while also hitting various revenue and profit targets. The company cleared the last of those hurdles in 2022.
    Equity securities such as stocks and stock options have been used in executive compensation packages for a long time in the U.S. Before FASB revised SFAS 123R in 2004, stock options were usually measured at intrinsic value, which resulted in very little to no compensation expense recognized in the company’s financial statements. SFAS 123R required companies to use fair value to measure options and recognize compensation expense during the service period.

    Incorporate and properly cite a minimum of 5 sources
    Incorporate one table, graph or infographic from a cited source that is relevant to your argument
    Properly cite using MLA or APA citation
    *INSTRUCTIONS
    You need to complete an argument paper about your issue in North Carolina. You are going to show the following in your paper:
    A specific claim that about your topic/issue in North Carolina – Remember, argument is based around the idea that people disagree and/or take various sides on an issue. You need to take a firm stand on how your topic is a problem in our state. Do not simply state a fact, like, “There are many homeless people in North Carolina.” This is not an argument. It is a fact that has been proven with research. However, you could argue, “The increasing homeless population in North Carolina is largely due to mental health issues that are not properly addressed because of state laws.”
    Logical reasoning and evidence that prove your claim – You need to craft an organized and logical argument that proves your claim. You must present sound reasoning that is supported with scholarly, relevant and recent evidence. It is also important how your present this information, meaning the research you use should not take the place of your own writing. Remember, research is there to support YOUR reasoning, not take the place of it.
    You understand opposing claims/points of view and can refute them – You need to show that you understand the varying points of view on your topic, and that you can analyze, paraphrase or summarize them. Also, you are able to refute these opposing claims using logic, reasoning and evidence (not simply stating that others are “wrong” in their opinion).
    The use of a table, graph or infographic that adds emphasis to your argument – Select a relevant and recent table, graph or infographic from a source to incorporate into your argument. It should be tied to your reasoning and used as evidence to support your claim. Properly cite it using MLA or APA citation. *Only use one and it can not be larger than the size of a normal paragraph. Carefully consider the sequence, structure and design of your argument when placing the infographic into your essay.
    You understand your college-level audience and write to them in an objective, high style using clear, concise language – Even though this argument is based off your own opinion, you still need to write in a formal manner. Don’t use wording that “hedges” your argument, like, “I believe” and “I think.” Write in a confident tone. You are the authority of this argument. Do not rely on sources too much or have sources take over your essay. Your research should support your voice, not replace your voice as the authority in this argument. You want to continue to show that you have progressed in your writing through this semester. It should be clear, concise and virtually free of basic errors in grammar and mechanics.
    You understand how to properly create a full citation and in-text citation using MLA or APA guidelines.

  • “The Anthropocene on Film: A Comparative Analysis of Aesthetics, Narratives, and Calls to Action in David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet and All That Breathes”

    Should films about the Anthropocene tell their audiences a progressive (things are generally getting better) or a declensionist (things are generally getting worse) story? Why do you think that? In an essay (1500 words), we are asking you to compare two documentaries about the Anthropocene and explain which documentary—in your view—offers a better interpretation of the Anthropocene:
    1) David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet,directed by Alastair Fothergill, Jonathan Hughes, Keith Scholey
    and
    2) All That Breathes, directed by Shaunek Sen
    You don’t need to do any outside research, but you need to read and respond carefully to the director Shaunek Sen’s interview with Amy Goodman and Jerrine Tan’s “Watching A Life on Our Planet”.
    Please use the following prompt to write your essay.
    -The essay must have 1500 words, about 5 pages (don’t worry if your word count goes over that number by ~200 words)
    -Each paragraph is about 200 words. Each paragraph should discuss both documentaries (EXCEPT for the scene unpacked paragraph) AND clearly explain which doc does a better job with the paragraph prompt. 
    Introductory paragraph:
    -How should the Anthropocene be filmed—things are getting better or things are getting worse? Why do you think that?
    -Explain which documentary—in your view—offers a better interpretation of the Anthropocene
    -Paragraph 1 on Aesthetics (how the films are put together in terms of looks and sounds)
    -Paragraph 2 on Telling a story (what is the narrative that the filmmakers created? Is it the best choice about beginning, middle, and end? Does the narrative have the best trajectory—things getting better or getting worse or hard to tell?)
    -Paragraph 3 on Who exactly is the “we” in the story? Is it mostly a single person? A group of people? From a specific time or place? Why do you think the filmmakers made that particular choice?
    -Paragraph 4 on how (if at all) do the filmmakers tell their audiences to do something political, economic, social, aesthetic, ecological, etc., about the Anthropocene? In other words, do you think film should be primarily an instrument for change in the world or is it enough to make something beautiful and/or provocative for viewers to experience?
    -Paragraph 5 in the doc with the “better interpretation” pick one important five-minute segment (scene) from the documentary that you want to unpack in detail. You will explain what you think the filmmakers were trying to accomplish in the scene and how the scene itself “worked.” How did the choice of subject, shot selection and duration, framing within the shot, narration and interviews (or lack thereof), music, and/or editing come together to make the scene work together? Why does this scene capture the Anthro the best?
    -Conclusion paragraph: Imagine what you might remember from this film in five years? What parts or take-aways do you hope to remember from watching and writing about these two films? Which piece—Sen interview or Tan review—made a bigger impression on you regarding the Anthropocene on film?
     
    -In addition, your essay must be organized (what are the links among your insights, evaluations, or evidence? how does one paragraph lead to the second and so on?), well-written, proofread, and it must demonstrate your critical, thoughtful response to both films. Can use first-person pronouns like “I” or “We.” You should include a bibliography or works cited list or footnotes. Whatever citation style you use (Chicago, APA, etc.), just use the citation style consistently and correctly.
