    require actions that would make you uncomfortable, and whether you feel you could
    navigate between strong and weak images based on the situational context.
    • What is your assessment of the image(s) of Eddie Lampert in this scenario?
    • Using your dominant image or images, how would you have approached the change

  • Exploring My Gender Journey: A Critical Analysis of Identity and Intersectionality

    Assignment #1: Self-Reflection (10% of final grade)
    In the first Module of the term, I will encourage you to consider our own relationship with Women’s Studies. You will write a critical analysis of your interactions with gender throughout your life and how you think they are connected to what we will learn in class. You can use the available Guiding Questions as a starting point for your essay – you are not expected to answer all of the questions, this is simply a resource for you to start reflecting on gender. In this assignment, we will use our lived experiences to theorize gender. 
    Guiding Questions:
    What are some of your own experiences with gender and identity? How do you understand gender? Have you ever systematically considered how you developed your gender identity? Do you think your own identity influenced how you understand gender? 
    What are some of the meanings you and the people around you have assigned to your gender? What kind of external messages or gender cues have you received throughout your life? 
    What messages do you send to others regarding what it means to be a man or a woman?
    Have you ever considered how gender intersects with religion, class, age, and race?  
    Growing up, what kind of “roles” were you expected to perform because of your gender? Did you know that gender had something to do with that? Did you ever notice a difference between what was expected of you and other people around you from a different gender? 
    When did you start understanding inequality? What about oppression? Why do you think that is the case? 
    Did you have a big “eureka” moment that shifted the way you think about gender and identity? When was that? Why at that moment? 
    Did you have people around you that pushed you to think differently about gender and identity? Do you think they did that intentionally? How influential were they in your uprising? 
    Have binary gender or sex-based terms (man/woman, male/female) limited your identity and/or discussions with others? How? 
    How has your schooling played into your understanding of what it means to be a man, woman, transgender person, or otherwise non-binary individual?
    Have you ever been ridiculed or denied an opportunity for doing or saying something that others didn’t consider “masculine” or “feminine” enough? How did that make you feel? How did you react? How did it affect your life beyond that single incident?
    Have you ever ridiculed someone else for doing something you didn’t consider “masculine” or “feminine” enough? 
    Has your understanding of gender identity limited your ability to listen to others?

  • Final Project: Manufacturing and Financial Analysis of [Product Name] Final Project: Manufacturing and Financial Analysis of [Product Name]

    For this assignment, students will compile the information they’ve gathered in Project Parts 1-3 and provide a final draft. 
    Part 1: 
    Select a product to manufacture. The product should be a simple one, requiring only one or two raw materials and two or three manufacturing steps. For example, a craft item may be created from a single piece of wood; a cut or two, some paint and then assembly creates a final product.
    Next, estimate the three basic cost elements involved in manufacturing the product. Direct material and direct labor should be relatively straightforward. Assume you have a small manufacturing company producing only this product. Keeping overhead simple, estimate the overhead costs of this small company. Then determine which of the company’s costs are fixed and which of the costs are variable. Consider how you will include diversity, equity and inclusion in your company and write a paragraph or two explaining how you will utilize these concepts in your business.
    Part 2: 
    Determine your company’s sales price per unit and the number of units sold during the period. Determine the total sales.
    Create a contribution margin income statement for your company. Use the variable and fixed costs that you determined in Project Assignment One.
    What is your company’s contribution margin per unit?
    What is your company’s contribution margin ratio?
    What is your company’s breakeven point in unit sales?
    What is your company’s breakeven point in dollar sales?
    Determine the target profit you would like your company to achieve in the upcoming period. Estimate the number of units you will need to sell to achieve that target profit. 
    Part 3:
    Create a sales budget and production budget for your company based on the target profit you determined in Project Assignment Two. An example of a sales and production budget can be found in Chapter Eight on page 379.
    Part 4:
    Please review the corrections that have been made by your instructor Parts 1-3 of the project. Please update the Parts 1-3 of the project to include these corrections and submit the entire project

  • Acquisition Proposal for Nvidia Corporation by Apple Inc. I. Executive Summary: Apple Inc. should acquire Nvidia Corporation, a leading graphics processing unit (GPU) manufacturer, due to its strong market position, high-quality products, and potential for growth.

    Acquisition proposal for Nvidia Corporation. (please research the companies earnings etc to show the calculations)
    The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with an opportunity to think of how and when to apply the knowledge and skillset from this class.
    – Imagine you are an executive of Apple Inc. and you are currently seeking a target company to acquire.
    – The target company MUST be a publicly traded US company that is currently in business.
    – The proposal must contain the following sections:
    I. Executive Summary: Summary of the acquisition deal. You must include WHY Apple Inc. should acquire this company (provide market conditions and key figures here such as NPV, IRR, etc), HOW Apple Inc. may acquire the company (provide financing plans here), and a summary of the quality of the target company.
    II. Valuation of the Target Company: Rationalize the amount of the expenditure to acquire the target. Use information before the M&A event. The aim is to calculate the fair market value.
    III. Financial Details of the Acquisition: Pro forma financial statements of the acquisition project (refer to Chapters 9-11) and capital budgeting metrics (NPV, IRR, and MIRR). Use projected estimates after the M&A event. Feel free to make various assumptions but you must state them clearly. You may include the NPV scenario and/or sensitivity analysis in this section.
    IV. Financing: Explain how you are going to raise capital for the amount explained in Section II. It cannot be cash only. The financing cost must be affordable by Apple Inc.

  • “Unearthing the Truth: A Critical Analysis of Archaeology and Popular Culture”

    Instructions: You are required to write a paper (@6 pages, double spaced, 12-font) on archaeology and popular culture. The paper must be in proper essay format and all source material must be referenced (in-text citations as well as a references cited page). We will be using the SAA Style Guide (information posted on D2L). Sub-headings are encouraged. The title page and the references cited page do not count towards overall paper length for this assignment. Please number your pages!
    The focus of your paper should be on the portrayal of archaeology (and archaeologists) in popular culture. After an introduction to your paper, begin with a general discussion of archaeology and popular culture, using at least 2 of the assigned readings/articles from the course (Week 3 Documents on D2L), in addition to 2 academic sources from your own research into archaeology and popular culture. Next, using your own words, profile and discuss 2 specific examples of the portrayal of archaeology/archaeologists in popular culture. This can include movies/movie franchises (hi Indy), television shows (hi Relic Hunter), video games (hi Lara Croft), or fiction (hi Agatha Christie), or something I haven’t thought of…there is a lot out there, and you can tailor your paper to your own personal favourites. Pretty well anything goes, but cross-overs such as Tomb Raider would count as one example, and Bones wouldn’t qualify (apologies to my biological anthropologists). You are not required to include reference information for your examples in the references cited section, but do provide some context in your discussion for the uninitiated (especially if discussing a video game). After profiling your 2 examples comment on the following in a separate discussion section: How do stereotypes derived from popular culture influence public perceptions of archaeology? What are the positives and negatives of such portrayals? Do you believe that the positives outweigh the negatives or vice versa? Cap off your paper with an awesome conclusion. Don’t forget to have fun with the topic!
