Theatrical Performance Assignment Instructions
Shakespeare’s works have been around for a long time. His writing is open to interpretation, especially when it is performed live. One of the most famous scenes from Shakespeare’s work comes from the tragedy, Hamlet. The most famous scene is a soliloquy, a scene that displays a character’s inner thoughts to the audience. At this moment Hamlet is considering if suicide would be a better choice than continuing to live through his difficult life. Hamlet is deeply religious and concerned about the consequences of taking his own life. This scene displays Hamlet’s consideration of his inner turmoil.
Watch the following three interpretations from different productions of Hamlet. While each actor and director use the same original text as a starting point, they all present a unique version of the scene.
In a minimum of 300 words total (100 words minimum for each prompt), address the following for each performance:
Why do you believe the director made the choices they did regarding the set, costume, and lighting?
What made each actor’s portrayal unique (mood, delivery, attitude)?
Thinking about all three of the provided clips select the one portrayal you think seemed the most authentic to the emotions of the text and discuss why. Be specific.
Note: This assignment requires a minimum of 300 words total, with a minimum of 100 words per prompt. However, be sure to write enough to cover each prompt while utilizing the terms covered in the unit.
This may be checked for academic dishonesty, including plagiarism and/or AI-generated content. See the course syllabus for more information on Academic dishonesty.

Title: The Balance and Dispersal of Public R&D Investment: A Literature Review
I would like a literature review that consists of two parts: 1.
the balance between basic research and applied research, and 2. a discussion about the dispersal or concentration of public R&D investment. This review is crucial for my research, and I expect that both parts will be written in more than 1,200 words.
In my dissertation, I will quantitatively analyse the academic performance of publicly funded R&D projects and compare the results between basic research (blue-skies research) and applied research (mission-oriented research). I need your help to write a literature review of around 11 pages.
To be easier to understand, the methodology part is mainly based on Fortin 2013 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0065263). I will apply the analysis to two types of funding programmes focusing on basic research and applied research, respectively. The lack of comparison between the two types is the research gap I found.
Here, I list resources that will probably be useful.
1. the balance between basic research and applied research

This is a systematic review so its references might be useful as well.

“Living Up to Values: Evaluating Bath and Body Works’ Supplier Responsibility and Code of Conduct”
The company is Bath and Body works
Overview
Changing, or even stating, a company’s values can be a long and arduous process, but it often pales in comparison to the effort it takes to make sure they are honored, implemented, and projected. In this assignment, you evaluate how well your chosen company from the first assignment has done in “walking the talk” and responding to a social issue.
Preparation
Review your chosen company’s mission and values statements as well as other sources that provide insight into the company’s values with regard to social responsibility. Pick two of their primary values and research how the company manifests those values. Simple examples might be the commitment to workplace diversity or ecological sustainability.
Instructions
Create a 3-5-minute (approximately 6-8 slides) PowerPoint presentation that evaluates how well the company embodies its issue-related values. Your presentation should contain detailed speaker’s notes that flesh out and support main points, ideas, or conclusions and have supporting citations.
Summarize your chosen company’s Supplier Responsibility information.
In your own words, explain how each aspect of your Supplier Code of Conduct is committed to ethical business practices and social responsibility.
Discuss your company’s stance on each of the following areas:
Empowering Workers.
Labor and Human Rights.
Health and Safety.
The Environment.
Accountability.
Identify the key ways that your company’s Code of Conduct has changed since last year.
Examine the manner in which your company’s Supplier Code of Conduct helps the organization operate as a socially responsible organization.
In this week’s discussion, you consider assembling a team to write a supplier code of conduct. Recommend the stakeholders roles (4-5) needed on the team and how each supports the project.
Integrate at least three supporting resources, one from the textbook and the others from the Strayer University Library, or other reputable sources.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Create a presentation about the key areas, changes, and progress in a company’s supplier responsibilities and code of conduct.
Use reputable and accessible sources in APA style. The chosen company is Bath and Body Works. The attached template must be used. -
