FOCUS ON MOOD IN FILM
Assignment: Choose one of the films listed below for critical analysis. All of them explore the topic of love, each form corresponding to an age-appropriate stage. Introduce the main character(s). What is the starting situation? Describe the problem(s). Summarize the plot. How serious or light-hearted is the handling of the material? What supports your interpretation? Do close readings of one or two scenes–no more than three-to-five minutes long–that you consider pivotal to the outcome of the movie and/or your response to it. What effect or impact on the audience is intended? Why do you think so? What techniques are deployed towards that end? (For a recap on narrative arcs, consisting of three parts, namely, (1) problem, (2) complication, and (3) resolution, revisit the chapter excerpt from Andrew Glassner’s Interactive Storytelling: Techniques for 21st Century Fiction on the course “Home” page.)
Also, familiarize yourself with the more complex Path-Goal model and Fiedler’s Contingency model. You don’t need to know these two models in as much detail as the Situational model to complete this assignment, but make sure you understand the main idea of these models as well as some of their main advantages and disadvantages.
Assignment questions
Focus on Case Studies in Neurology
For this assignment you will respond to all three case studies.
What is a Case Study?
“A case study is a narrative used to help you practice real-life analysis and communication skills. It is a learning tool that provides readers with “enough detail…to understand the nature and scope of the problem, and…serve as a springboard for discussion and learning” (O’Rourke, 2007, p. 391).
Your completed case studies should be between 750–1000 words, and all sources must be properly cited using APA format.
CASE STUDY #1
1.Amy is cooking dinner for her family. She moves to pull a pot off the stove and accidently touches the burner. She reflexively pulls her finger away from the stove and immediately feels the pain.
a.Which receptor neuron is responsible for sending information from her finger to her peripheral nervous system?
b.Is this receptor neuron, an afferent or efferent neuron?
c.Explain where the information from the receptor neuron is sent and how does it result in Amy moving her finger away from the stove.
d.Describe the three classes of neurons involved in this response.
e.Evolutionarily, why do you think the human body has this system in place?
f.What might happen if we did not have this response?
CASE STUDY #2
2.Glen, who is 45 years old, begins to notice that his hands shake (tremors) when he is performing everyday tasks such as signing his signature. His family members have noticed that he also has muffled speech and tends to shuffle when he walks. He is diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson’s disease.
a.What is Early Onset Parkinson’s disease?
b.What specific cell type is affected in Parkinson’s disease?
c.What is dopamine? What effects does dopamine have on the body?
d.Explain the structure of a synapse and why Glen’s neurologist would prescribe him a dopamine agonist?
e.Glen has genetic testing performed and it is determined that he does carry an autosomal dominant mutation in the SNCA gene associated with Early Onset Parkinson’s disease. Glen has three children. Would you advise his children to have genetic testing performed to determine if they also carry the disease mutation? Why or why not?
CASE STUDY #3
3. Patricia, who is 37 years old, discusses with her physician recent symptoms that she has experienced including blurred vision, numbness in her fingers and face, dizziness, fatigue and weakness. The physician performs multiple neurological tests and she is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).
a.What is MS?
b.Is MS a disease of the central or peripheral nervous system?
c.What is the main cell structure affected in MS?
d.How is the action potential of a neuron affected in MS?
e.The origins of MS are not clear. What do scientists hypothesize to be the causes of MS?
Your assignment should be written in an essay format. The assignment requires you to include details from research including the course materials and sources you locate on your own. Remember to use APA format to cite your sources of information, both within parenthetical citations and also within a reference page at the end of the project.
Basic Writing Requirements:
•Between 750–1000 words not counting the title or reference pages.
•Include a title page, double space, font size 10 or 12.

Focus of the Final ProjectRead the Mini Case from the end of Chapter 11 about Caledonia Products and thoroughly respond to Parts a to n at the end of the case. Your paper should answer all of the questions of the Mini Case (without repeating the questions), as a concise management statement in six to eight pages. Where appropriate, properly cite the text or any other source. For questions requiring calculations, use formulas in Excel to calculate the ratios and format the cells to insert a comma if there are more than three numbers. Submit your work as a separate Excel document, in addition to your analysis. Round dollar amounts to the nearest whole number and percentages to two decimal places as a percentage. Clearly label your analysis and the sum of your conclusions for all parts of the case.MINI CASE:We are considering the introduction of a new product. Currently we are in the 34% marginal tax bracket with a 15% required rate of return or cost of capital. This project is expected to last 5 years and then, because this is somewhat of a fad project, be terminated. The following information describes the new projectCost of a new plant and equipment $7,900,000Shipping and installation cost $100,000Year Units Sold1 70,0002 120,0003 140,0004 80,0005 60,000Sales price per unit $300/unit in years 1 through 4, $260/unit in year 5Variable cost per unit $180/unitAnnual fixed costs $200,000Working-capital requirements:There will be an initial working-capital requirement of $100,000 just to get production stared. For each year, the total investment in net working capital will be equal to 10% of the dollar value of sales for that year. Thus, the investment in working capital will increase during years 1 through 3, the decrease in year 4. Finally, all working capital is liquidated at the termination of the project at the end of year 5.The depreciation method.Use the simplified straight-line method over 5 years. Assume that the plant and equipment will have no salvage after 5 years.A. Should the company focus on cash flows or accounting profits in making its capital-budgeting decisions? Should the company be interested in incremental cash flows, incremental profits, total free cash flows, or total profits?B. How does depreciation affect free cash flows?C. How do sunk costs affect the determination of cash flows?D. What is the projects initial outlay?E. What are the differential cash flows over the projects life?F. What is the terminal cash flow?G. Draw a cash flow diagram for this project?H. What is its net present value?I. What is its internal rate of return?J. Should the project be accepted? Why or why not?K. In capital budgeting, risk can be measured from three perspectives. What are those three measures of a projects risk?L. According to CAPM, which measurements of a projects risk is relevant? What complications does reality introduce into the CAPM view of risk, and what does that mean for our view of the relevant measure of a projects risk?M. Explain how simulation works. What is the value in using a simulation approach?N. What is sensitivity analysis and what is its purpose
Fogel Co. has $2,500,000 of 8% convertible bonds outstanding. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of $30 par value common stock. The bonds pay interest on January 31 and July 31. On July 31, 2010, the holders of $800,000 bonds exercised the conversion privilege. On that date the market price of the bonds was 105 and the market price of the common stock was $36. The total unamortized bond premium at the date of conversion was $175,000. Fogel should record, as a result of this conversion, a (Points: 4)credit of $136,000 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par. credit of $120,000 to Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par. credit of $56,000 to Premium on Bonds Payable. loss of $8,000.
