Assignment 2: Logic Model and Performance Measurement
Now that you have chosen your agency or program, familiarized yourself with its purpose, and finished your needs assessment, in preparation for your final program evaluation this module, you will create a logic model.
This model will help you visualize the key inputs, components, objectives, outputs, constructs, and outcomes for your agency and program as well as the outcomes that you will discuss in detail in M5 Assignment 2 (RA 2). Once you complete your logic model, you will also consider the role of performance measurement in your proposed program evaluation.
See examples of logic models in your textbook; these would be good examples to use as you develop your own logic model.
In addition to submitting your logic model, write 3–4 paragraphs, addressing the following:
• Provide a description of your logic model. Make sure that your explanation is concise and clearly explains the logic of the connections you have made in your model.

Write paper of 700- to 1,050-words in which you analyze the sexual harassment issues presented in scenario.

• Analyze each of the elements of this case: the applicable defenses and the basis for the court’s ruling.
• Analyze the possible liability in this case if the sexual harasser(s) were an independent contractor versus an employee.

Here is the required reading:

Can vulgar language, even if it is not specifically

directed at an individual, be actionable as sexual

harassment under Title VII? Yes—according to the

11th Circuit Court of Appeals. The plaintiff, Ingrid

Reeves, worked at a sales company, C.H. Robinson.

Reeves alleged that she was subjected to hearing her

male co-workers call other women names such as

“b***h,” “wh**e” and “c**t” on a daily basis. She also

claimed that there were repeated vulgar discussions

about female body parts and a pornographic image

of a woman in the office. Reeves complained to her

co-workers, her supervisor, and top company executives,

but the offensive conduct was “accepted and

tolerated.”

According to the 11th Circuit, “if Reeves’s account

is to be believed, C.H. Robinson’s workplace was more

than a rough environment—indiscriminately vulgar,

profane, and sexual. Instead, a just reasonably could

find that it was a workplace that exposed Reeves to

disadvantageous terms or conditions of employment

to which members of the other sex were not exposed.”

Moreover, the court stated that it was no defense to

assert “that the workplace may have been vulgar and

sexually degrading before Reeves arrived.”

Research Project: “Information Literacy Research Project”

You will work on a theme and format of your choice to investigate a topic in the history of technology between 1500-1980. With the assistance of the Hagerty Library Research Librarians, I will provide the tools and guidance needed to develop the projects and to enhance your Information Literacy.

Topics might be: the technical innovations created or research conducted in a particular geographic region, institutions of science and technology, the individuals or communities working in technology, etc.

These are individual projects. You will determine the type of your final product (essay, report, annotated bibliography etc).

To complete this research you will likely need to locate 1) one or more primary historical sources (documents written during the time you are focusing on and by scientists, or science administrators working in the city), 2) at least two secondary historical sources that place the primary sources in their historical context (works written by contemporary historians), and/or 3) a map of the region during the time period (or close to it).

Research Question: What is the impact of women entrepreneurs in local economic development?

It has to be in Canadian contest. Methodology use has to be regional data possibly from Statistics Canada. A regional case study can be used if is going to help the research.
Outline and up to 10 references required.
Major research paper format for the outline can be as below.

How did you go aneed a PEST analysis on internet cafes in the UAE that are specially opened for video games , like a gaming club.in the powerpoint attached there are variables available on slide 2. for each category, i need 3 variables that affect internet cafes in the UAE. please only use variables from slide number 2. and also state if it is a threat or opportunity for each variable. A sample is attached for both PEST and Swot analysis. Refer to the slides for the steps of the SWOT Analysis.
All data must be related to the UAE.
the 12 sources asked for are for the total 12 variables for the PEST Analysis.

whStep One: Choose the Creative Path OR the Research Path
Step Two: Follow the Directions. Remember that you will be doing both a project and a supplement no matter which path you choose.
Step Three: Submit the Assignments Correctly.

The project:

This option is meant to hone your creative skills as well as your interpretive powers. You may choose from the following ideas or propose another option. Whatever you choose, your project must deal with one of the texts from our syllabus. You may choose any assigned text from Units 1 through to our current unit.
Your project should reflect your understanding/interpretation of the text and should work to help us better understand it. There is no page requirement. Obviously, a haiku wouldn’t be long, but it is challenging.

Ideas:

•  A recreation—This is a response to a text that requires you to essentially make it new by writing something like a prequel, a sequel, telling it from another point of view, change the time period (think Jane Austen’s Emma and Clueless), and so on. There are a lot of possibilities. What it must be is true to the original by being consistent with it.

•  An adaptation—You may change the form of your text. For example, you may change fiction into a poem, a song, play, or film treatment.

•  Film concept—You may translate your choice into a film treatment. You could write a description of what your film would be like (who you would cast, what mood you want, who might direct it, what themes you would pull out, what music you would use, what the set design might be like, etc.). You could focus on a scene or two or the work as a whole. You could even present this on powerpoint if you prefer to add visual elements. If you like visual art you could create the movie poster.

•  An imitation or parody— First analyze the original by breaking it down into its main characteristics. Decide what you want to save. You can imitate style or play with concept.

•  A visual arts response—You could create an art project that reflects themes, or illustrates a text. People have done paintings, sculpture, collage, garments, sketches, etc. In this case, it would need to be digital or be able to be presented that way. Powerpoints may work, digital photos, etc. This option is dependent a bit upon your technological expertise. I am not responsible for getting this to me in a usable form: you are.

•  Other options? Let your creativity go. Just be sure that it interacts with the text and helps us to appreciate it.

Supplement:
You must include a supplement that discusses how you put together your project. Take us “behind the scenes.” Why did you choose the piece? What inspired you to create your project? How did you go about it? What were your goals? What did you hope to accomplish, illustrate, demonstrate? If you think it may be unclear, be sure to demonstrate how the piece is connected to the original.
This is your chance to clarify and showcase your work. This supplement should be a separate short essay of about 1 to 2 pages. Please understand that the supplement must have substance. It is an important component of your grade.

Presentation:
You turn in the assignment and supplement to me as an attachment to Assignments.

A. B. The Research Path

The project:
This option requires you to write a traditional 3-4 page (plus Work(s) Cited) short paper. You must include a Works Cited even if you do not cite outside sources because you will need to properly cite the primary text. This option is meant to be an opportunity to hone your skills as a scholar, academic writer, and literary critic.
Choose one of the texts from the syllabus, preferably one that we have already read. You will need to develop a thesis (a claim about the meaning or significance of the text or a claim about the relationship between the text and a historical, cultural, or philosophical element. Remember that the main focus needs to be the text in question. What do you want to say about the text?
The topic is open. The only restrictions are:
•  Your primary text must be selected from our syllabus. It must be on the reading list (Units 1-to the present unit).
•  You may do some biographical, cultural, or contextual research but you must clearly tie this information to the story in question. You need to incorporate it into your interpretation and/or work through what makes that information important to our understanding of the story.
•  You may not write a paper that is essentially an “encyclopedia-style” report of information. This needs to be an interpretation paper.
•  Do not write a plot summary. I want analysis. Do not write an evaluation. I am not looking for a review of the text. There are sections in your anthology devoted to writing about literature. Consult them.

You must support your claims with evidence from the primary text. If necessary, you may also bring in secondary sources found through research. All texts must be properly quoted and cited using current MLA style.

About sources:
If you bring in outside sources, you need to be sure that they are solid: reputable and accurate. In light of this, Wikipedia is not an acceptable source. Nor are various “free essay” sites. If you cannot tell where the material came from or what credentials are behind it, find a different source.

Supplement:
This is relatively short document that should explain your interests and process. Take us ‘behind the scenes” of your research paper. What drew you to the work? Why did you choose it? What led you to your thesis? Did you find anything particularly interesting during research? What would you like to clarify for us? This is basically your chance to clarify any points and to showcase your critical analysis.
Because your paper should be pretty clear, I don’t expect this to be as detailed as a supplement for the creative project. It should still demonstrate thought and care. Aim for a half page to a full page.
Remember that the supplement is still an important part of your assignment.

Presentation:
You turn in the assignment and supplement to me as an attachment to Assignments. at would you ask, or tell, the author of the piece if you could?
