Learning Goal: I’m working on a literature project and need support to help me learn.
Task: Now that you’ve read about the Enlightenment and Sor Juana Enlightenment piece, consider the following questions:
How is critical thinking related to the Enlightenment?
How does Sor Juana represent the Enlightenment?
What parts of the text stood out to you as significant or interesting? Why?
What do you make of the style of the Sor Juana’s work. Our textbook refers to her as rhetorically savvy. Do you agree? Why?
Feel free to diverge from these questions. My goal for this
discussion is that you think about the Enlightenment and how Sor Juana

Assignment Instructions and Requirements
Scenario: Mystic Brewery is a local start-up company formed by two brothers and partners, Jake and Pete. Each has their own brewing equipment and they have recently purchased a small building that was once a car sales/body shop to combine their previous disparate businesses into one microbrewery. They have converted part of the back-mechanic area into a brewing station and the front sales and reception desk into a small taproom. There is no food service. There is ample space inside that can be used for expanded capacity or growth. The space includes access to a fenced back car lot accessible by garage doors that they hope to convert into an outdoor entertainment area.
Each brother has previously worked inventory, sales, and costs on his own. They have different styles and personalities. Jake likes experimental and higher ABV beers and has invested in a small capacity canning line hoping to expand their capacity to distribute to local restaurants.
Pete is more practical and down to earth, preferring a classic American lager; he’s recently invested in a meat smoker and hopes to expand the back-car lot to include family friendly entertainment…potentially with food service. Pete thinks that the company would benefit from growlers and refills of their beers.
They currently have no Internet connection. There are two computers with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office. Emails have been accessed via cell phone. Inventory and sales receipts are hand-written on old-fashioned paper forms with carbon copy, and the data is entered later into an Excel file on one of the computers in each store every night. At the end of every night, the Excel file is copied onto a flash drive and transferred to the second store computer as backup.
They need a real database, updated operating systems, inventory and supply tracking, and potentially a Point of Sale/credit card processing system. There is currently no web or social media presence. All business has been generated through word of mouth and previous clients.
What they do have is a high-quality beer and a passion for growth.
Keep in mind that your clients are not particularly technically minded; avoid highly technical jargon and be direct with all statements and questions.

You will not be penalized as long as you have your initial post and two replies on the discussion board by Sunday at 11:59 PM. Topic
As of the last semester or two, Artificial Intelligence Tools have been readily available to students and instructors. The use of such tools is controversial, to say the least. As instructors, we have noticed some limitations of the AI tools that are currently available. For example, in another instructor’s course, a student apparently asked AI to write her self concept essay. When the instructor was grading the essay, she found the following sentence in the paper, “In terms of inaccurate perceptions people may have of me, as an AI language model, I don’t possess personal characteristics or physical appearance, so the usual perceptual mistakes associated with human interactions don’t apply.” In other words, not only was it really silly to ask a computer to write a paper that was supposed to be about the student, apparently, that student didn’t even read through the paper before turning it in. Pro Tip: you should ALWAYS proofread the paper before you turn it in. This is your chance to open up and give the rest of us an idea how you really feel about Artificial Intelligence and why. Please feel free to be honest, but keep your language civil and classroom appropriate. I will not hold anything you say in this discussion against you when I grade your assignments, I promise. Please be sure to answer all questions in your post. Note: there are not just 4 questions here. There are 9. 1. Have you used ChatBot or another tool? In what way have you used it?
2. What problems have you encountered with using AI? Have you had an assignment rejected or points taken off when using an AI tool? 3. How do you feel about Artificial Intelligence tools? Do you think using these tools is a form of cheating? Should they be banned from college classrooms?
3. Is there an ethical way to use AI tools? Please share your ideas for how these tools can be used in a classroom in a way that is educational and helpful to both students and instructors.

As a human in the modern era one can be sure we’ve all seen a family that just allows their kids to just do whatever they want with their ipad or phone. Most of these families don’t even monitor the screens of these kids’ electronic devices or who is on those devices. They could be watching YouTube, Tik Tok, or Twitter where there are influencers taking over the pages. Seeing how most of these kids are stuck in their iPads or phones their minds are still somewhat fresh which allows them to be controlled by these influencers. A person called Andrew Tate or the “top G” on social media used to be a big name during 2021-2022 trying to convince little boys(8-12) that they are men. And parents barely paid any attention to this and just walked past like nothing was happening. This inturn made it so that these kids think that they are on top, that they are the best of all time. Which leads to them having fights with their parents about bedtimes, what and what they don’t eat, not wanting to go to school, and the list goes on.
There is a place that many come to have so of the most funny, serious, sad, anger inducing, random things one will ever see anywhere else. Guess what the best part of this place is, it is technically not a physical place. It is a digital place called the internet. A place that has no limit or age requirements and this could be a problem. This means that kids of all ages can just stumble upon the wrong website that is controlled by an influencer who wants to expose their opinion on younger audiences. According to Nihal Toros Ntapiapis (professor of Communication)she concluded “The distribution and access of information have become more comfortable with the development of the technological infrastructure, and people have connected them to research from more intensive or different perspectives according to their interests’ ‘ based on his research. An influencer would pull in these kids by using the interest of the kids to lure them to listen to their opinion whether it is right or wrong. Then by stating these opinions they can alter the mindset of these youth making them think like the influencer. Cecilie Schou who led a team on the article The Link Between Social Media and Narcissism in Young Adults “One of the emergent places for young people having a say, especially among peers, is the Internet, and in particular, social networking sites and youth oriented discussion forums”. This shows that the youth feel as if they deserve to have a say in what happens in the world.
Speaking of these influencers and them altering the kids of today minds to

After reviewing this week’s learning resources, respond to the following items in several well-written paragraphs, integrating some of your learning resources from this week. You may include other sources if you wish but remember to provide in-text citations and a reference list. If you need help with APA-7 format, please refer to the APA module in the LEO classroom. 
What are some of the functions of education in society?
In what way is public education democratizing (i.e., how does it level the playing field?) and in what way(s) does it fall short?
Summarize the main points you took away from the three videos in the Week 2 Learning Resources.
Given what you have learned this week about education and the transformative effect of technology on learning and development, propose an educational model for the future. In your response, consider the following questions: What are some qualities of an excellent educational system? What of the existing educational model do you think should stay the same and what should change? What role, if any, does technology play in helping to implement your model? 

So far in this course, you have been developing a breadth of knowledge in the field of I/O psychology. You have learned about the origins of this specialization and the fundamental tools of scientific research and observation in the field. You have considered how the performance of individuals and groups can impact an organization and how identifying individual performance differences can contribute to organizational performance improvement. You have examined job satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and types of organizational commitment.
This week, you will address some fundamentals of motivation. You will explore how employees are motivated to do their work and how their attitudes and emotions influence their job satisfaction. The concept of motivation is a major field of study and application in I/O psychology. What motivates people to work? Why do you work? Money, status, power, and personal meaning are often cited as responses; yet, each person has a unique response to this question. With greater diversity within the workforce, it presents a challenge to motivate workers with different values.
An organizational leader who hopes to be successful must understand the motivations of his or her employees. How can we understand why people do what they do: what drives them? How might we influence these motives in a manner productive for the individual as well as the organization? Consider the importance not only of knowing how to understand human motivation, but of knowing how to utilize what we learn effectively.
This week, you will also examine the practice of evidence-based coaching. Coaching has become one of the fastest growing occupations in the field of psychology. This week will introduce the best practices of the evidence-based approach to coaching, including coaching a diverse workforce and coaching in the virtual environment.

_____________
This discussion topic is designed to give you the opportunity to peruse the assignment instructions for all the research related writing assignments in WRTG 394. This task will allow you to begin thinking about and planning for your WRTG 394 research writing assignments, the Synthesis Literature Review, the Research Proposal Memo, and the Research-Based Report. NOTE: This is a discussion topic designed to help you begin thinking about the three research-related writing assignments in WRTG 394. Completing this discussion topic does not complete any of the assignments discussed in this topic. This simply helps you become familiar with your assignments so that you can plan for the rest of your WRTG 394 course.
In the Assignments area of the 394 classroom, open each of the following sets of writing assignment instructions that are located in your individual assignment folders for each assignment:
Assignment: research proposal memo
Assignment: synthesis literature review
Assignment: research-based report
Please use these assignment instructions to help you answer the following questions:
Examine the Research Proposal Memo (WA#1) instructions. What permission must you request? To whom should your memo be addressed? What information about your research must you provide? Examine the Synthesis Lit Review (WA#2) instructions. This assignment calls for the student writer to use scholarly (academic) and professional (trade) sources. Explain what you understand a scholarly source and a professional/trade source to be. You should consider offering an example of each type of source.
Tke a look at the Research Report (WA#3) instructions. What additional research demands are placed upon the writer for this assignment compared to WA #2? How can you as writer best present your report so that it is most readily accessible for your primary audience?
Writing on the same topic for WA#2 and WA#3 make the writing of the research report an easier task than it would have been if different topics had been chosen. Comment on how the writing on the same topic for both these assignments can help you as you write your research report.
