CITATION FORMAT: For both outline and final paper, use any reasonable citation and<br>
bibliographical format, including footnotes in law review style, or references in American<br>
Psychological Association or Chicago Manual of Style with in-text parenthetical<br>
citations. You may use another format if I approve it in advance. However, be sure to cite<br>
consistently, and to cite all sources appropriately and give me a page reference (pinpoint<br>
cite) for quotes. The failure to cite your sources may result in concerns regarding<br>
academic misconduct.<br>
6. FINAL PAPER STRUCTURE: What follows is a suggested organization for your paper:<br>
a. Thesis Paragraph: Identify a reasonably focused area or category of conflict<br>
related to your future work. Write a thesis paragraph in which you identify the<br>
area of conflict and clearly state your thesis about how to improve the way the<br>
process or system addresses it.<br>
2<br>
b. History: Briefly explain the history of the how the disputants handle this area of<br>
conflict and the existing systems to address it.<br>
c. Literature Review: Report and critique the current empirical, social science, and<br>
law review literature related to your topic and conflict management. THIS IS<br>
CRITICAL. A number of people have been surprised and disappointed by their<br>
final grade on this paper when they fail to thoroughly research the literature<br>
related to their topic. You will find law review articles in LexisNexis Academic<br>
Universe, empirical social psychology research in JSTOR, EBSCO, and related<br>
academic databases in the Top Ten list of the IU Library link from the IUB main<br>
web page, and a number of books, many published by Jossey-Bass/Wiley and<br>
Sage. In international ADR, the literature may be in political science books and<br>
journals as well. Key journals are Negotiation Journal, Conflict Resolution<br>
Quarterly (formerly Mediation Quarterly), Journal of Dispute Resolution<br>
(Missouri), Ohio State Journal of Dispute Resolution, Journal of Conflict<br>
Resolution (Political Science), International Journal of Conflict Management,<br>
Negotiation and Conflict Management Research, Harvard Negotiation Law<br>
Review, and others.<br>
d. Critique: Explain how well or poorly the existing process and/or dispute systems<br>
design addresses the area of conflict. It is appropriate to use secondary sources<br>
from any combination of law, science, social science, or policy literatures in this<br>
section.<br>
e. Proposals and Rationale: Suggest alternatives, which may include a new structure,<br>
process, or system, new policies, management strategies, training, curriculum,<br>
legislative proposals, regulatory proposals, or other solutions. Explain how these<br>
would improve current practice.<br>
f. Conclusion: Remember to conclude with a brief recap of your argument.<br>
g. References: Please include complete information

Case Study<br>
<br>
Coffee People Ltd is a company that provides personnel for catering operations within a number of national retail outlets. The team make drinks and serve cold food, keep the café tables clear and wash dishes. The supervisor also orders food and drinks and manages the other staff. You are the operational manager for the Midlands area and are required to manage the contract. You have 30 sites to manage.<br>
<br>
Budgets are set at the start of the year, based on an average staff cost of £8 per hour and the average number of hours specified in the contract, which is currently set at 10 hours per day Monday to Saturday and 5 hours on Sundays. Opening hours of the café can, however, vary as they are based on the opening hours of the outlet. Opening hours are increased at certain times throughout the year, such as Christmas. Each shift must have one supervisor (who is paid at £10 per hour) plus a variable number of other staff (who are paid at the minimum wage rate). Sole working is not allowed. All new staff are placed on zero hours contracts, although some older members of staff are currently on fixed hours contracts of 30 hours per week. Cover must be provided throughout the day to ensure customers are not kept waiting more than 5 minutes for service. <br>
<br>
You have been set a performance target to achieve a profit on sales of 65% based on staff costs. On average, sales for each retail outlet are £10,000 per week, although this varies on a seasonal basis and between sites.<br>
<br>
For the past 6 months you have failed to reach your profit target and a number of complaints have been made regarding service levels in your cafes. You have recently been called in to discuss your performance with your regional manager.<br>
<br>
Required<br>
<br>
a) Discuss the behavioural issues that may emerge as a result of the current budgetary reporting system.<br>
(1,500 words)<br>
<br>
a) Prepare a briefing note for your meeting with your regional manager. Within this you should consider how effective variance analysis may be used to aid organisational control.<br>
<br>
(1,000 words)<br>
<br>
<br>
The required word count for the assignment is 2,500 words in total. This represents 1,500 equivalent words in total for part a) and 1,000 equivalent words for part b).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Your performance in assignments<br>
<br>
Your performance will be graded on a continuous numerical scale which ranges from 0 to 100 and is expressed in percentage terms (%). You will see below the division of the scale into the classifications used within the University of Lincoln together with an indication of the standard required to achieve each classification. <br>
<br>
&gt;79-100%: (exceptionally strong pass – first class honours standard) a range of marks which are consistent with a first where the work is of outstandingly high quality.<br>
&gt;69-79 %:( excellent pass – first class honours standard) a range of marks consistent with a first. Work which shows excellent content, organisation and presentation, reasoning and originality; evidence of independent reading and thinking and a clear and authoritative grasp of theoretical positions; ability to sustain an argument, to think analytically and/or critically and to synthesise material effectively.<br>
&gt;59-69% (strong pass – upper second class honours standard) a range of marks consistent with an upper second. Well-organised and lucid coverage of the main points in an answer; intelligent interpretation and confident use of evidence, examples and references; clear evidence of critical judgement in selecting, ordering and analysing content; demonstrates some ability to synthesise material and to construct responses, which reveal insight and may offer some originality.<br>
&gt;49-59% (sound pass – lower second class honours standard) a range of marks consistent with a lower second; shows a grasp of the main issues and uses relevant materials in a generally business-like approach, restricted evidence of additional reading; possible unevenness in structure of answers and failure to understand the more subtle points: some critical analysis and a modest degree of insight should be present.<br>
&gt; 39-49%: (basic pass – third class honours standard) a range of marks which is consistent with third class; demonstrates limited understanding with no enrichment of the basic course material presented in classes; superficial lines of argument and muddled presentation; little or no attempt to relate issues to a broader framework; lower end of the range equates to a minimum or threshold pass.<br>
&gt;34-39%: (marginal fail) achieves most of the learning outcomes required for a mark of 40% but falls short in one or more areas; not a pass grade but sufficient to warrant compensation. <br>
&gt;29-34% (clear fail) a fail; may achieve some learning outcomes but falls short in most areas; shows considerable lack of understanding of basic course material and little evidence of research.<br>
0-29%: (weak fail) a fail; basic factual errors of considerable magnitude showing little understanding of basic course material; falls substantially short of the learning outcomes for compensation.<br>

my chosen theory ; Grand Nursing Theorist Report<br>
The purpose of this paper is to explain the elements of a theory and how to apply it to nursing practice. The theorist chosen was Dorothea E. Orem and her self-care deficit nursing theory. This theorist was selected because her theory provides an exceptional organizational tool to guide nursing practice and evaluate care. It is said that “Orem’s theory is composed of three interrelated theories: the theory of self-care, the self-care deficit theory, and the theory of nursing systems” (Gonzalo, 2011). <br>

What Would You Do If You Knew?
The BRCA1 gene was first discovered in 1994 and BRCA2 was discovered in 1995. The first study of these genes showed specific mutations, two with BRCA1, and one with BRCA2 in families with history of cancers. If you test positive for any BRCA mutation, it does not automatically mean that you will get cancer, it is only an indicator of a predisposition for cancer.
Research BRCA in further detail and then in your main post, answer the following:
1.    What form(s) of cancer do you have the risk of developing if you carry a mutated form of BRCA? Determine the percentages for each cancer type.
2.    What tests are used to determine if you are a carrier of a mutated BRCA gene?
3.    Can only women carry the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene? Explain your response in further detail.
4.    What decisions would you make if you tested positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2 (e.g., opt for a radical mastectomy)? How would your current age affect this decision?
5.    Who in your family should be tested for these mutated genes? Why?

Choose an Impressionist painting that intrigues or inspires you from one of the following artists:

• Mary Cassatt
• Paul Cezanne
• Pierre-Auguste Renoir
• Claude Monet
• Edgar Degas

Complete the following:

• Identify the artist, the title of the artwork, and the date it was completed in the first paragraph.
• Paste an image of the painting in your paper. Examples of each of these artists can be found in the textbook. (The images in the textbook are copyright-protected and cannot be copied. To find the exact painting, search the Internet by the artist’s name and the title of the work. Right-click and copy the image. Open a Word document and right-click and paste. If the image does not paste into your paper, try another image. Sometimes images are protected and cannot be copied. Wherever you do find the image, make sure to cite your source in APA style. If you are unsure how to cite an image, this resource can help you.)
• Identify the following elements and how they characterize the Impressionist style:
  • Color
  • Brushstroke
  • Light
  • Subject matter
  • Indicate specific areas in the painting in your explanation.
• How does the Impressionist style differ from the style of Realism? Identify 3 distinct differences.
• How does the Impressionist style differ from Post Impressionism? Identify 3 distinct differences.

Part 2

Using a camera or cellphone, take 3 photographs from your immediate environment that exemplify each of the following styles of art. Be creative!:

• Realism
• Impressionism
• Post Impressionism

You can manipulate your photographs with any software effects to achieve the appropriate results. For example, you can take a photo of a friend or family member, and using software, blur the image to represent impressionism.

Include your 3 original photographs in your paper. (Save the photos to your desktop. If you use your phone camera, you can e-mail them to yourself. Open the image and right-click and copy. Open a Word document and right-click and paste.)

Answer the following questions in paragraph style:

• Number each photo and identify the style it closely resembles. Explain the characteristics of each style that you tried to emulate.
• What style of art would best be used to communicate a direct message? Explain
• What style of art would evoke an emotional response? Explain.
• Identify 3 examples of Realism in art or design that you see on a daily basis.
• Describe a situation in which the style of Impressionism might best be used in art and/or design today?

In-text citations and a list of references are required when including or paraphrasing any idea, fact, date, or other information from the textbook or other references.

discuss and compare at least two different areas in which presidential national security power was exercised by Presidents Bush and Obama, using specific examples for each. For example, you could pick surveillance for Bush and the use of military force for Obama (or, as another example, you could pick surveillance for both administrations). Also answer these questions: have both, either, or neither of these presidents been faithful to the vision of presidential power (1) envisioned by the Framers of the Constitution and (2) put into action by prior presidents (and is that the right way to evaluate them—by determining whether they have been faithful to what the Framers intended or actions taken by past presidents)?<br>
<br>
Please also discuss at least two other presidents in writing your answer, again using specific examples. You can and should use course materials but you also must use at least five additional sources (books and/or scholarly articles) to support your arguments. Please be sure to include citations in your paper when necessary (any standard format is fine—Chicago Manual of Style, MLA, Turabian—what matters to me is that you provide proper citation so that it is clear where your information comes from. This applies both to quoted excerpts from other materials and to ideas/information used or drawn on from other sources even when you do not include directly quoted excerpts. It also applies to facts you discuss).
