Begin by selecting Start a New Conversation. Research ONE example of a conic section in real life that has not already been used by a classmate.
Make your choice (Bouncing ball) the subject of your post, and then tell us in your own words about your find. Do not just make this up off the top of your head. The St Louis Arch, for example, is NOT a parabola—it is an inverted catenary.
To get credit for this Discussion, you must cite a source confirming that your example is, indeed, a conic and not some other more exotic curve.
Using a personal example (My eyebrow) will not count unless you can cite a source verifying that eyebrows are parabolic.
You must also respond to 2 classmates’ posts. You may ask questions to elicit a more in-depth explanation, add additional information to your own posting in response to questions, share additional knowledge on another post or share an example from your own life related to the topic.
Please pay attention to spelling and grammar. These skills are most important in about 80% of college courses that require written papers. Good writing skills will also reflect more positively on your status as a college student and graduate. Please sign ALL your discussion posts with the name that you like to be called – it makes it so much easier for the rest of us to address you by your preferred name when we respond.

FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO THE LETTER! Use urls research in depth!
PART 1: DEVELOPING JOURNALISM ARTICLES
STORY 1: VOICE OF THE CARIBBEAN CUSTOMER: HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING AND VALUING CUSTOMER FEEDBACK, WITH TIPS ON HOW TO EFFECTIVELY GATHER AND ANALYZE FEEDBACK.
FOR EACH ARTICLE YOU CREATE, CREATE A SURVEY OF QUESTIONS TO COLLECT DATA.Research and Background: Begin by researching the distinctions between customer service and customer experience (CX). Customer service typically refers to the direct support or assistance provided to customers, while CX encompasses the overall journey and perception a customer has with a brand, including all touchpoints and interactions.
Define customer service and CX with clear examples.Example: Customer service involves immediate assistance during a transaction (e.g., resolving a complaint). CX is the holistic impression a customer forms over time, influenced by every interaction with the brand.
Explore industries where customer experience is critical (e.g., hospitality, retail, restaurants).For Examples: Investigate local entities in the US Virgin Islands (USVI) such as:WAPA
VIYA
Tempo
HOT ONES USVI
Liberty USVI
T-Mobile
The Market Stx

i have my professor comments on an essay that I wrote, and I need u to work on his comments my proffessor notes (This is a solid paper overall. It describes the relationship between social media & political echo chambers using scholarly studies. Quotes are on-topic and well-chosen, and sources are explained with some thoroughness. The reasoning is convincing and the prose is clear throughout. This represents an effective start on the project.
Things to work on: – Why is polarization a problem? The evidence in the paper suggests that social media does contribute to echo chambers / separation and potentially polarization. However, the paper needs evidence to support the assertion that this separation / polarization in online political discourse is harmful.
– In general, the paper would benefit from a stronger, clearer organization: it’s not clear why the paragraphs appear in the order that they do, and there are some other structural issues, such as the lack of a clear thesis statement and some repetition of content (see below). One thing that will help with organization is to avoid starting paragraphs with a sentence that refers to a source. Instead, start each body paragraph with a clear transition / topic sentence that makes an assertion entirely in your own voice and then develops that assertion using the source or sources. This helps you clarify the main point of each paragraph and the role it plays in the larger paper. – The paper needs a stronger, united focused thesis statement summing up the nature of the problem and its negative effects. The last two sentences of the very first para. come close; however, thesis statements generally do not use sources.
– In the definition paragraph (3rd para in the paper), Use a source or sources to help define your two key concepts (echo chambers & polarization).
– In paragraph 4, provide further analysis of the source to more effectively link the quote to the surrounding prose: explain more – why do Jiang et al believe that echo chambers have amplified conflict over covid 19?
– You use the exact same quote from Kitchens et al. in two different places in the paper. The explanation following the quote is also the same.
– It seems you are using APA citation style; if so, use it consistently: label the works cited References and use past tense signal verbs when introducing sources.
– Need to analyze the images as evidence in the body paragraphs; don’t just describe them in the captions.)

there are pictures of ctiteria and a audio from professor that you should follow carefully to edit the essay.

Why It Matters: The Writing Process

Developing a Working Thesis Statement

Please complete an concept essay in three hours by strictly following the assignment requirements and examples and documents I have uploaded.

Step 1: Initial Submission (earn up to 85% of the possible points for the assignment)
Your initial submission should include all of the following components:
Content
In this essay you will identify and explain 3-5 of your core values.
You will also discuss the origins of these core values.
Organization
Include an introductory paragraph, where you grab the reader’s attention, provide a transitional statement, give a clear thesis statement, and map out the 3-5 key points that will support your thesis. (review elements of an introduction)
Include 3-5 body paragraphs where you include details and examples to help you develop and support your key points. (review body paragraph structure)
End your essay with a concluding paragraph where you restate your thesis, summarize your key points, and leave the reader with the “so what?” (review successful concluding paragraphs)
Language Choices
As a writer, you are free to decide how you use language, keeping the following in mind:
style: your language choices should result in a consistent writing style that is purposeful and aligned with your goals
readability: your language choices should ensure that your ideas are clear and easy to follow
When composing your paper, think about the conventions for academic writing, including:
punctuation: this includes things such as recommended use of commas, colons, and apostrophes.
word-level accuracy: this includes things such as capitalization, spelling, word-tense, and usage.
sentence-level accuracy: this includes things such as sentence boundaries, subject-verb agreement, and pronoun-antecedent agreement.
Take time to review your language choices after you’ve written your essay. Think about your goals for the style of this essay and your own writing habits (like using “text-speak,” omitting capitalization, or writing sentence fragments). Revise as necessary to accomplish your style and readability goals.
Reading your paper aloud is a helpful technique when reviewing your language choices for style and readability.

Your final product should be a minimum of five paragraphs (about 700-1000 words) in length. However, the quality of the content of this essay is most important. Be sure to fully answer the prompt.
