    Discussion Board 1
    Find a topic that is in some way related to employment law. It does not have to be a topic covered in the textbook. Write an initial post discussing your topic due by Thursday night. Then, respond to at least two other posts by Saturday night. Your initial post should be a minimum of 200 words and must include a citation to your source in APA format (citing to your textbook does not count). Your response posts must be “substantial” so must convey more than just “I agree” or “You make a very interesting point.”
    For your initial post you can just summarize your findings but remember, the goal is to write something that your classmates find interesting.
    A great place to find topics are employment law blogs like these:

  • Exploring Effective Homework Strategies for High School Algebra: A Comparison of Online Resources and Gaming Apps

    This is part of a research paper on this Topic
    “An examination of the use of alternate forms of homework as a means for enhancing joy and achievement in high school algebra”
    Everything written needs to be about what is best for math OUTSIDE of class.
    I would like 2-3 pages on which Websites, such as Khan Academy, IXL, Desmos etc. are       best and worst for high school algebra with SPECIFIC reasons why
    I would like 2-3 pages on which Gaming Apps, such as Kahoot, Quizzizz, Booket etc. are
    best for struggling students and advanced students in high school math and why
    Please put at least one quote per page from good sources, not blogs. I can’t find anything peer reviewed, so educational websites are fine.
    I will tip generously if it is well done because I am dealing with
    multiple health issues.
    Thanks.

  • Title: Understanding Confidence Intervals in Real Estate Evaluation

    Discussion 6 | Confidence Intervals
    Number of replies: 3
    REVIEW
    Review the assigned reading to prepare for this discussion. 
    For the Real Estate Evaluation Project, you have been working solely with a random sample of a data set of property prices. You found the mean price of homes, townhomes, and units of your sample. How confident can you be that the sample means are actually representative of the true mean of the property prices of all homes, townhomes, and units in the region represented by the data? In this discussion, you will use your data from Part 1 of the Real Estate Evaluation Project to explore the meaning of a confidence interval. In preparation for this discussion, it is imperative that you complete the assigned reading prior to posting, taking good notes and working through the examples in the text (Chapter 8, “Confidence Intervals”).
    For our purposes, assume that the property prices of homes are normally distributed (this is a necessary condition for confidence intervals). The population standard deviation of the price of homes is known and is given by σ=$704,500.
    Use your data set (TAB 2) from Part 1 of the Real Estate Evaluation Project to complete the table [DOWNLOAD]. For the sample size of n = 10, find the mean of the first 10 home prices from your random sample. For the sample size of n = 30, find the mean of the next 30 home prices from your random sample (not including the first ten home prices). For the sample size of n = 50, find the mean of the next 50 home prices from your random sample, which does not include any of the home prices used prior. For the sample size of n = 100, find the mean of the next 100 home prices from your random sample, which does not include any of the home prices used prior, if possible. Depending on how many homes were in your random sample, you may have to include some already-used property prices. Use technology, either Google sheets or another tool of your choice, to find the mean of the different samples.

    Complete the table [DOWNLOAD], and share it with your peers as a part of your initial post. Embed your table directly into your discussion post on the discussion board.
    Instructions for Embedding Pictures Into a Discussion Post [DOWNLOAD]
    Interpret the confidence interval in the context of the problem for the n = 100 case. In Introduction to Statistics by Barbara Illowsky & Susan Dean, see the introduction of Chapter 8, as well as section 8.1, “A Single Population Mean Using the Normal Distribution” for guidance on the interpretation of a confidence interval.
    How does sample size appear to affect the sample mean? How does sample size affect the 95% confidence interval, if at all.
    Compare your 95% confidence interval for n = 100 with that of your peers. Additionally, comment on the role that sample size plays in statistics in general. What effect would the inclusion of sample size in a report that provides statistics have on an audience? Explain.

  • “Communication in My Field of Study: Understanding the Discourse Community and Tips for Effective Communication” Introduction: As a student studying in the field of _____(insert your program/discipline here)_____, it is important to understand the communication practices and expectations Smith Report on Communication

    Instructions
    Item 1 of the Portfolio: Report on the Communication in My Field of Study (due in week 2)
    For this assignment you will complete a form, providing information about 4 things:
    The program (discipline) you are studying (examples: Intelligence Studies or Criminal Justice).
    Some ways you learned about folks in your discipline (looking at your program’s research guide, journals, websites, organizations, books, blogs, podcasts, etc.).
    Tips for communicating with folks in your discipline gathered from Artificial Intelligence (AI).
    YOUR tips for communicating with folks in your discipline (merging AI observations with your own).
    Read the information below for a broad understanding of the purpose of this assignment. Refer to the attached template for more specific details on what to do.
    What is a discourse community?
    You learned earlier that writing does not exist in a vacuum, that it is a conversation between writer and reader. One scholar, Erik Borg, says that “We do not generally use language to communicate with the world at large, but with individuals or groups of individuals…these groups are gathered into communities.”
    Each of us belongs to a number of these groups (called discourse communities). If you stop at a coffee shop routinely, you are a member of that community. Members know what the “rules” are for communicating with each other, what kind of greeting is used, what the standard length of comments is, what kind of comments are acceptable, and what kind are not. Other discourse communities might be related to activities with children, fitness, or church. You can probably think of examples of a conversation topic or a greeting that would be acceptable at the gym but not at church. In this assignment, you are going to look at the communication that occurs in one of your discourse communities, the one formed by an interest in your field of study (major, program, or discipline).
    How do I learn about the discourse community in my field? What will you be looking for? You will be looking at the kinds of reading and writing members of the community do; the expectations and rules (conventions) for the communication; the way they communicate with each other online; and other tips that help you understand this group.
    Here’s an easy way to gather this information.
    Click the link in the classroom to the APUS Library.
    Click the link Subject A-Z.
    Click the alphabet letter that starts the name of your degree program (N for Nursing, F for Fire Science, A for Accounting, etc.).
    Click the name of your degree program (Nursing, Fire Science, Accounting, etc.).
    Look through the many choices listed there, including databases, multi-media, podcasts, websites, career, associations, government agencies, and social media. Click numerous links in these choices and see what you can learn about how these professionals communicate with each other and those outside the field. Look at how these professionals write by reading items in the sites as well as tips offered for persons new to the field.
    Once I’ve learned about my field’s discourse community, what do I do with that information?
    After you have looked at your program in the library’s page, do the following steps.
    Go to a generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) site, such as ChatGPT or Google Bard, and type a question like this into the site’s chat box:
    What style of writing do professionals in the field of ___(type in your program)___ use?
    Example questions to ask AI:
    What style of writing do professionals in the field of nursing use? What style of writing do professionals in the field of sports fitness use?
    Copy and paste the answer from AI into a Word document. Be sure to write in the name of the AI tool you used to get these results. You will be pasting this information in the template to be turned in.
    (NOTE: This site is a comprehensive catalog of AI tools: Futurepedia, The Largest AI Tools Directory. It is updated daily. Do a search for General Writing to get started.)
    Open the template for the assignment and save it as a Word file with the title “(Your last name) Report on Communication.”
    Answer the questions on the template with the information you have gathered and the analysis you have done.

  • Globalization Drivers in the Automobile Industry Market Drivers: 1. Increasing demand for vehicles in emerging markets: The rising middle class in countries like China, India, and Brazil has led to a growing demand for automobiles, creating new markets for global car

    Identify each of the following
    drivers of globalization in the automobile industry and provide specific examples of:
     Market Drivers
     Cost Drivers
     Government Drivers
     Competitive Drivers
