  • Uncovering the Concerns and Research of Professionals in the Field of Computer Science Title: Reflecting on Research: Summary and Potential Questions for Further Study

    I Have already started just no time to finish so I will provide what I’ve completed please put it all in one document.
    Use https://www.reddit.com/r/computerscience/ as a one method the other is your your choice
    In this essay, you will narrate your research process as you work to uncover the answer to the central question, “What do professionals in my field care, research, and write about?” [If you already have a general sense of the answer to that question, you can work with your instructor to craft a more specific inquiry based on your prior knowledge.] You will take up a process like Ken Macrorie describes in his book, I-Search: posing your research question, identifying meaningful primary sources (people or texts) that can help you uncover answers, narrating your exploration of those sources, and analyzing what you find.
    Intro: You will begin drafting your essay before you even begin your research. In your introduction, you will
    identify the discipline, professional field, or career you are focusing on,
    establish your experience in and knowledge about your field, and
    provide context for how you will approach discovering answers to the project’s central question. After you have conducted your research, you will return to revise your introduction to include a one-sentence thesis in which you articulate the field’s central concerns.
    Research: To discover the answer(s) to this question, you will take up primary research methods. This can include:
    Analyzing websites from departments and/or professional organizations
    Talk with or interview professionals in your field,
    Read about professionals in your field (via their own websites/pages) to observe their work,
    Gather course documents (e.g. syllabi, writing guides, assignment prompts)
    Observing professional interactions in classes, at locations of work, at events, and/or on public message boards, listservs, social media, etc.
    We will practice these methods together in class before you try them for your specific research journey. You will identify at least three primary research encounters to work through for this project.
    Narrative: In the body of your essay, you will narrate and describe your experiences engaging with people and texts, creating for your readers the scenes, or mini-stories in which you are conducting your research. Once you have established your research scene, provide information about questions like, what inquiries, topics, or concerns are pursued in this field? How do you know these are the topics that matter? How do professionals engage with or research these topics? How do they present their work to others (colleagues or the public)? You will provide detailed descriptions of what you learn from these people and texts, and you will analyze how these research encounters help you answer the project’s central question.
    Conclusion: In your conclusion, you will summarize and reflect on your findings, explaining how your research encounters helped you understand the answer(s) to the project’s central question. Then, based on the knowledge you have discovered, you will present 2-3 potential research questions you want to explore in your own research for the semester.
    Citations: Both in the text of your essay and in a references or works cited page, you will cite the sources you use for this project according to the conventions of your discipline (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.).
    Rubric:
    Completion/Incompletion of this project will be based on whether and how you:
    Write an introduction in which you
    a) identify the discipline, professional field, or career you are focusing on, b) establish your experience in and knowledge about your field, c) provide context for how you will approach discovering answers to the project’s central question, and d) articulate a one-sentence thesis answering the project’s central question.
    Engage with at least three primary sources (people or texts).
    Write first-person narrative and descriptive paragraphs that provide context for the scenes in which you are conducting your research and information about the knowledge you identify from those research encounters.
    Write a conclusion in which you summarize and reflect on your findings and articulate 2-3 potential research questions for the semester.
    Cite your sources, both throughout the project and in a works cited or references section, using the citation conventions appropriate to your field (i.e., MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) Design and format your project for accessibility. Use section (H1) and (if necessary) subsection (H2) headers to organize your content. Revise and edit your writing, preparing a clear final draft (1200-1500 words) for submission. Reflect on your research and writing process and learning and compose your post-project reflective memo following the guidelines for that task. Submit your memo to Canvas along with your final version of your project.

  • Analyzing the Arguments of “The Gettysburg Address” Analyzing the Arguments of “The Gettysburg Address”

    . Locate “The Gettysburg Address” (see Chapter 1, page 8) in our online textbook. After skimming, rereading, annotating, and reacting to the text, answer the following questions in your post:
    What are the address’s explicit and implicit arguments?
    Are the address’s arguments convincing? Why or why not?
    These questions do not have “right answers.” Your interpretation of the text should build from the evidence in the text, itself. As long as you’re not speculating or summarizing, you’re on your way to good analysis. You must reference and cite information from the text in your writing—help with this provided under “Plagiarism and Citing Information” in this folder. The best posts will be well-polished and at least 200 words.
    The Gettysburg Address
    Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought
    forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty,
    and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created
    equal.
    Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing
    whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so
    dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of
    that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave
    their livesthat that nation might live. It is altogether fitting
    and proper that we should do this.
    But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can
    not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The
    brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have
    consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
    The world will little note, nor long remember what we say
    here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for
    us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished
    work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
    advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
    great task remaining before us—that from these honored
    dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which
    they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we
    here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in
    vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth
    of freedom—and that government of the people, by the
    people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
    Abraham Lincoln
    November 19, 1863

  • “Reflecting on Transience and Virtue in George Herbert’s ‘Virtue’”

    George Herbert re-reading assignment 2. Re-read your chosen George Herbert poem from last week and post a short (200ish words) reflection, considering how re-reading the poem this week compared to your initial experience of reading the poem last week, and explaining what new things you noticed about the poem this time. This is what I said last time and what you should start from to do further considerations and complete the assignment:
    VIRTUE
    In George Herbert’s “Virtue,” the speaker wonders about beauty and how life is momentary. A tranquil description of a “sweet day, so cool, bright and calm” portrays the few times it is filled with joy and perfection. Almost all the words repeated in every line, like dawn, out rose, and spring, denote accepting death as a reality. The poem’s structure of short stanzas with brief lines demonstrates how transient life’s joys are. These visual and auditory elements are put together very well such that individual can visualize an intense hue on the rose’s face, “hue, angry and brave”; as for sounds, it is found in the last three lines (Herbert). At the end of this poem, Herbert assigns virtue as an ever-stable force in an unstable world, suggesting that only souls through a righteous character are like old wood used over time. This poem is similar to self-reflection concerning temporary life but still powerfully talking about virtue, which forever remains.

  • “Comparing and Contrasting Core Values: A Comparative Analysis of Popular and Academic Sources”

    First of all, I need you to expand further my essay in “Devon Joshua Core Value Paper”. The content should be about comparing and contrasting the definition of each core value in your own words to how a popular source then compare and contrast the popular source to an academic source (peer-reviewed journal). See screenshot 1513 for instructions, screenshot 1516 for the outline, and more importantly “What am I expecting in Core Values essay Spring 2024 (1).docx” for instructions on how to get started. Write a compare and contrast essay (the outline is in screenshot 1516). For a step-by-step example of how to develop the essay please look at “Development of Essays PP Spring semester 2023.pptx” and for the sample essay for you to refer to please look at “COMPARE AND CONTRAST ESSAY example (1).pdf” but only pages 4-5. Don’t forget that this is a 3-4 page compare and contrast essay with APA formatting so there must be Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double-spacing, a separate cover page, in-text citation, and a separate reference page. Make sure that the popular sources you use are not from Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Britannica and that the academic source is a peer-reviewed journal. Make sure you don’t use any AI because the professor made it very clear that the use of AI “IS NOT ALLOWED” in this class.

  • Title: Resolving Intercultural Conflict: Lessons Learned from Personal Experience Intercultural conflicts are a common occurrence in today’s diverse society, where individuals from different cultural backgrounds interact and work together. These conflicts arise due to differences in beliefs,
