.For this project, you will use the class data posted in the “Shared Data” Discussion containing the Week 5 Water Footprint Data Tables.This data project will address Course Outcomes 1 and 3:interpret quantitative information to determine effects of human activity on the environment and to evaluate environmentally sustainable decisionseffectively communicate and use scientific evidence regarding human impact on the environment with emphasize on sustainability and global citizenshipDescriptionThis data project will be composed of two parts.In Part I of your report, you will compile class data from the Week 5 Eco Moment on your water usage (found in the “Shared Data” Discussion, under Water Calculator Data) and summarize/analyze it with Excel (or similar spreadsheet program). Discuss what trend(s) you see in the class data that relate to course concepts. Think about the best way to present your findings–tabular or graphical form? There is no “right answer” here, as long as you pick a format that highlights your main findings and support your table(s) and/or graph(s) with clear text that interpret the results. Do any of the findings surprise you? Why or why not?In Part II, you will research and discuss possible solutions to the environmental problems reflected in the class data. Here, you will want to support your argument with reliable, scientific resources (e.g., peer-reviewed scientific papers, white papers, and government websites). Be sure to end with a strong concluding paragraph that summarizes the main data trend(s), along with the merits and relevance of your chosen solution(s).FormatThe page limit for your written report for both Part I and Part II is 2 pages, plus 1 page for the data table/graph(s) you use to present your findings in Part I. The page limit does not include an optional title page, the reference list, and the appendix with the raw class data. The report should be double-spaced with one-inch margins all around and use a 12-pt font.Here is the order in which to present the various project components:Part I = describe the class data we collected, include the methodology, relevant web tool (if applicable), the mean and sample size for each result, table/graph(s) that depict the main findings and/or trends; interpret the table/graph(s) for the readerPart II = summarize research on possible solutions; be sure to incorporate reliable in-text citations and focus on relevant, attainable solutionsReference ListAppendix of Raw Data = screenshot or copy in the Excel table showing all the class data (no analysis or mean)

Read my classmate post. Think and write your thoughts and feelings about his post. (1 page)Classmate’s PostDeeper learning is more than just remembering, recall, and recitation of what we understand, though. It is learning that enables us to “transfer knowledge to new contexts, apply concepts to novel situations, look at problems from varied perspectives, and explain in ways that make sense to others” (Hoffer, 2017). Deeper learning does not end with the accumulation of a set of knowledge; it is a continual process of connecting that knowledge to life. It is heart learning, not head just learning. In biblical studies, it is a process of understanding the text that leads to spiritual growth.The 4Mat approach to teaching can bring about heart learning. Begin by answering the question in quadrant one, Why do I need to learn this? My son always had to have a reason to learn something and usually, “Because I (his homeschool teacher) said so” did not work. But when I could formulate a specific reason in a way that fit his thinking, he could learn just about anything. Interestingly, once he knew why, he needed to be left alone to figure out what he could do with the information; that’s quadrant 4 on the model. One of my daughters fit quadrant two; lecture/explain What does it mean, and the lesson was hers. My other daughter was a quadrant three doer. As a homeschool teacher, I was challenged to present the material in a way that each of my students could make it their own, but when I was successful, they were able to hide Gold’s Word in their hearts.While the explanation of the model was clear, the example the textbook offered was unfortunate. The theme of Matthew 25 is preparing yourself for the judgment. The chapter contains 2 parables of preparation, the ten virgins and the talents. They were the illustrations for the lesson found in verses 31-46. This passage, though, is neither a parable; it is a depiction of Judgment Day. The King of verses 34 and 40 is identified in verse 31 as the Son of Man. The rest of verse 31 offers the setting.Also, using the passage as instruction to pursue prison ministry is inaccurate. Consider Coffman’s comments on Matthew 25:36, “Those who think they find in these words of Jesus an excuse for making Christianity a mere matter of social charity, should look again. It is not the treatment of all the wretched and unfortunate of earth that shall make up the burden of the Christian’s duty (though that must be allowed as desirable), but the treatment of ‘these my brethren,’ as Christ expressed it, that determines destiny (see Matthew 25:40 (Links to an external site.))” (1974). Teaching the lost in prison is included in the Great Commission, but it is not part of this passage.Yount would have created more understanding in my mind had he properly used a biblical passage when explicating the 4MAT process. This misuse reminds me that the basic knowledge must be valid for deeper learning to be of benefit.

argeting and PositioningThis course has major project assignments due in Week 3 and Week 5. It will take more than a week’s effort to adequately complete them. Plan time to start the research and work on those assignments earlier than the week in which they are due.Consider a product which you have recently purchased and answer the following questions:Assess how advertising influenced your recent purchase. How did it make you aware of the product? (include the advertisement or link to the brand’s web site)Based on your knowledge of the brand, who is the target market? In your analysis, consider the four sets of consumer characteristics which influence what people consume and how they respond to marketing communications.Evaluate how the brand is positioned in the marketplace. What benefits and attributes are associated with the brand?How can three different brands be positioned relative to each other in a target market? For example, as a part of the fast-food industry, compare McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King. What variables do you feel are the most important for positioning and differentiating these fast-food restaurants in the market? Why do you feel these variables are so important?Submission Details:Submit your plan in a 3 PAGES
