“Nothing New Under the Sun: Examining the Validity of King Solomon’s Statement through History and Literature”
Task Description
Essay Title: Nothing New Under the Sun
In the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible, King Solomon states that “There is nothing new under the sun”. Looking back over the history of mankind in all its facets, social, economic, wars and conflicts etc, do you agree or disagree with this statement? Provide examples in support of your argument and cite other authors with similar or differing opinions. You may however, come to your own conclusions at the end of the argument.
6 academic sources are required as a minimum, Harvard referencing throughout the text is mandatory and submissions that do not meet these criteria will be rejected (see notes below). In particular, you should ensure that your references actually support the point you wish to make, since they will be checked.
Students are invited to submit a short outline of their essay for tutor approval and advice by Week 4. This should be in the form of an e-mail and should not exceed one page.
Format
1500 words +/- 10% (not including cover page, table of contents, bibliography and appendix, although these are all required). Submissions that do not reach the minimum wordcount will not be accepted.
Re-take: Individual Assignment
Deadline: Please see the Moodle page of the module.
The assignment will be assessed based on the following criteria (see the grid on Moodle):
• Structural logic (10%)
• Background information (20%)
• Argument & rationale (30%)
• Relevant Conclusions (15%)
• Correct in-text Harvard referencing & bibliography (15%)
• Presentation, format, paragraphing and accuracy (10%)
The resit for the assignment is the same subject as above; you may resubmit the same paper, with corrections, that you submitted for the original deadline. The resubmission deadline will be specified on Moodle after the grades for the original submission are published.
Academic conduct notice
Harvard-style referencing needs to be used consistently throughout. Incomplete referencing shall result in reporting the case to the Academic Conduct Officer, who keeps a record of such violations. First offenders may resubmit their papers and may receive 40% at most. Repeated violations of academic standards shall be sanctioned in line with the plagiarism regulations as detailed in the Student Handbook.
Where the Academic Conduct Officer has reason to suspect that a piece of work submitted by a student was wholly or in part written by someone other than the student who submitted it, and this has not been disclosed by the student, they may call for the student to defend the work in a viva or a written comprehension test. The burden of proof in such a viva or test will be upon the student to demonstrate to the examination panel’s satisfaction his/her full comprehension of the work s/he has submitted. Failure to appear without satisfactory explanation will result in immediate failure of that assessment, with consequences of academic misconduct and application of sanctions. -

Title: Analyzing the Results Sections of Two Professional, Peer-Reviewed Articles on Descriptive and Inferential Statistics
Write a 2250-2500 word essay addressing the following points/questions. Be sure to answer all the questions for each bullet point completely. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Support your ideas with at least three (3) sources in your essay. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover and reference pages do not count toward the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.
Locate two new academic articles from a professional, peer-reviewed journal related to a topic of your interest. These articles should involve descriptive or inferential statistics, should be two NEW articles (i.e., not articles you used previously in this course), and should be at least ten pages long. Be sure to answer all questions entirely in each bullet point. There should be six sections per article response, addressing each numerical bullet below.
Summarize both professional, peer-reviewed articles by addressing the following for each study. Repeat this sequence for each article.
What question/hypothesis was the researcher trying to answer or investigate?
What were the results?
How did the researcher present the results? What are the strengths and weaknesses in how the results were presented?
How was graphical formatting (tables, figures, graphs, etc.) used to present the results?
Explain how the researcher connected the results to an evaluation of the hypotheses. Provide direct examples from the study.
Identify at least one area in the data where the results could have been interpreted differently. Explain your alternative interpretation.
Compare and contrast both studies and explain the similarities and differences concerning the Results sections of the articles. For this assignment, focus more on the structure and components of the Results sections, not the actual results. That is, how crafty were the researchers in presenting their findings in a way that conveys clarity and importance of the results from the study. -

Review
how it has been used in information science research (you should be

Discuss
how using different theories in that research might have led to different
outcomes (this is where you can show me you understand how theory
influences research – design, interpretation, etc.).
