  • “Embodied Spaces: Exploring Movement and Mindfulness through Labanotation in the Design of a Futuristic Library”

    I’m an Architecture student. As part of my project I’m crafting a visionary ‘library of the future’ where the core concept revolves around embodying bodily comfort, fluid movement, and mindfulness. Thus, my tutors suggested utilizing Labanotation as a bridge between my research and the architectural form, so I’ve delved into understanding user movement within the space and how body postures interact with it. They have also advised that the ultimate design of the building should be inspired by the flow of movements derived from Laban’s diagram.
    I have read about Laban’s symbols, but I have a difficulty making the choreography score my self, as I am completely illiterate in the field of dancing and kinesiology. While my evaluation won’t be based on an in-depth knowledge of kinesiology or Laban’s theory, the visual representation of movement sequences within my space through this diagram will be crucial as everything in my projects needs to be presented visually and not verbally.
    This is the text I want to be converted into a Labanotation Digram / Choreography Score – please check the image

  • “Exploring Gender Representations in Film and Television: A Comparative Analysis of Tropes and Impact on Society”

    Your final research 6-8 page paper will require you to pick one of the themes we have discussed throughout the semester and do a critical comparative analysis of at least two (2) different types of media (a film, television show, radio broadcast, piece of journalism, etc). You cannot use two films or two television shows–the selections should each be a different medium.
    Themes to consider (but not be limited by):
    Various Tropes (per Donald Bogle– you can pick one and explore it in your selections)
    Depictions of women/ gender issues
    Impact of capitalism and finances on access and success
    Fiction vs Reality
    Impact of Propaganda
    LGBTQIA Representations
    Impact of Social Media
    …and more

  • Regression and Logistic Regression Analysis in SPSS: Replication and Interpretation

    1st document: You assignment is to replicate all SPSS output found in the file Chapter 7 Regression example (not the screen shots of SPSS instructions – just the output). To receive credit you must turn in one Word file (Word files have the suffix .doc or docx). Cut and paste the output to the word file. Submit the word file to the link found under assignments. Your numbers may not match the numbers in the file exactly – that is okay!
    2nd document: In the text, there is a section in Chapter 7 labeled Interpretation of Results. Toward the end of that section there is an explanation of how to apply the raw score prediction formula to the output coefficients. In the example I provided, the coefficients are found under “unstandardized coefficients” look under the upper case B. You can see my coefficients applied to the raw score prediction formula in the textbook.
    The picture attached in the file is for this document.
    Raw Score Prediction Formula with Coefficients Added (below).
    Y-hat = .201(x) + .237(x) + .082(x) + ((-.073(x)) + 2.444
    Above is background for what you are assigned. Read carefully below to know what you are actually turning in.
    Attached is a data set labeled “secondmidtermdata.” You are to carry out a linear regression with variables B,C, and D as predictors of A. Take the resulting coefficients and apply them to the raw score prediction formula. Always use the last model to get your coefficients – in the example above we used model 3. On a single word file, cut and paste all SPSS output from this exercise. On the same file write out your application of the raw score prediction formula. You really have to read the text carefully to know what is going on here! Make sure to use forward selection for your analysis.
    3rd document: Please keep your overlap at 10% or lower. No direct quotes allowed. Write a 500-word summary of Chapter 7. The textbook is attached.
    4th document: Attached is a document labeled Logistic Regression output. You are to replicate the SPSS output found in that file. Cut and paste the output to a single word document. Please read the chapter carefully prior to doing this assignment.
    5th document: Please keep your overlap at 10% or lower. No direct quotes. Write a 500-word summary of Chapter 11. Textbook attached.
    Everything in a separate document.

  • “The Urgency of Addressing Extinction: Causes, Consequences, and Our Responsibility”

    This assignment is about writing an essay based on the given statement.
    Reflect upon the causes and
    consequences of extinction, responding to the query, with the aid of
    examples, “should we care about the alarming increase in extinctions, what
    can we do about it and what impact do you think it will have on future
    societies”? This is a reflective piece and I want to see an integration of
    the theory and your own thoughts and a well-defended position on the
    topic.

  • “Food, Identity, and Social Justice: The Power of Media in Shaping Perceptions and Promoting Change”

    Throughout the semester, we have discussed and written about a number of topics shaped by our exploration of food in a variety of reading materials. We have considered questions like “How does food reflect and influence our identities?” and “How do certain factors impact our food choices?” We analyzed arguments and synthesized some key debates about food, including food access, food security, and sustainable farming. While our course materials focused on food, they intersected with broader social justice, environmental, technological, ethical, and identity issues related to human consumption. 
    For your final project, you will develop your own argument-driven essay about a topic that is meaningful to you or a community you are a part of. Your goal is to write to an audience of your choosing about how the stories told in media (read in or outside of class) lead audiences to think or feel a particular way about your community or community-related issue. 
    For this project, you should (1) interpret how the work you are analyzing represents or makes people think about the issue and (2) persuasively explain to an audience why they should do or think something different about the issue after reading your analysis.  
    You could choose any form of media to analyze: news articles, video essays, podcasts, blog posts, scholarly studies, etc. You are encouraged to find a media object with a developed argument that you can respond to over several paragraphs in your essay. Here are some examples:
    Examine an op-ed article that advocates for a policy or point of view that you disagree with and impacts you or your field of study.
    Read a professional blog post and make an argument about how it portrays an identity and why your readers should or should not adopt their point of view. 
    Examine a video essay to show how it enforces or challenges certain stereotypes. 
    Read a scholarly article in your major field and examine some of its conclusions to reveal something about the norms or conventions in that field or related to the issue you’re focusing on.  
    Research an issue that has come up in something you read for a class, for example, food access in “The Hidden Resilience of Food Desert Neighborhoods,” and analyze the data to argue about the relevance of the text to a community you are a part of.
    Task
    Consider how your chosen media gets its audience to think or feel a certain way about a particular identity or community. Then, make an argument about something that matters to you, drawing on close analysis of the media and using research to support your ideas. 
    Choose a topic and an audience that matters to you. You might write to the administration at Menlo, a politician, business executives, activists for a cause you support or oppose, newscasters, influencers, etc.
    Your goal is to use writing techniques learned in class to persuade your audience to adopt a new understanding, to take some specific action, to feel differently, or to respond in some other way to the issue as you present it. In other words, you are not just reporting about what “they say.” You are using analysis (and research) to persuade your audience on an issue that matters to you. You will present your projects to the class during the final 2 classes. 
    Format: Your final draft should be about 1250-1500 words (approximately 5-6 pages), double-spaced, with 1-inch margins in MLA style. As with all of our class work, both the draft and final essay should be your own original work.
