Asian/American Theatre and Performance Studies Syllabus   Imagine that you are the professor for a new spring course in Asian/American Theatre and Performance Studies at university. What would be the main theme around which you would design the course? Asian/American women playwrights? Yellowface on stage and screen? Asians in operas, operettas, and musicals? What do you hope that students would take away from this course? How would you accomplish these objectives? How would you organize the series of assigned readings and viewings? Will your class include any field trips to see performances or conduct archival research? Will you invite guest scholars or artists? For your final project, you will create your own Asian/American theatre syllabus. The syllabus must include the following:   • a course description o 100-150 words o summarize the exigency, content, and guiding questions for the course • learning goals o use active verbs to list 4-6 objectives that students will achieve by the end of taking this course • week-by-week reading/viewing assignments and activities for 10 weeks o assign at least 10 plays and/or films o assign at least 5 scholarly articles or book chapters ? you may copy only 1/3 of the plays and 1/3 of the scholarly writings that are in Prof. Galella’s syllabus because you are encouraged to seek out additional texts o include, if you want, specific field trips and guest speakers o organize the assignments so that they build upon one another, they are in conversation with one another, and they are grouped into sub-themes • a syllabus rationale  o 400-500 words o justify your chosen course theme o address how your students will meet your learning goals  o elaborate on your selected readings/viewings (not every single one of them but a representative sample) ? demonstrate knowledge of these texts ? rationalize why you are assigning them o explain how you organized the course   You will be assessed based on your demonstration of research and thought, pedagogical skill, cogent organization, written clarity, and following of assignment guidelines.

Does not have to be 550 words really, just need to answer the questions. Part I. Plate Tectonics 1. Briefly list or sketch and label the layers that make up the Earth from the interior (core) to the surface (crust), and describe the key characteristics of each.    2. What causes the Earth’s crust to move?  3. Briefly explain the main characteristics of continental crust and oceanic crust.  How do they differ?  4. Explain what happens to the crustal plates (oceanic and/or continental), what landforms/tectonic activities result, and give a real-world location as an example for each of the following plate interactions: a. oceanic/oceanic plate divergence b. continental/continental plate divergence c. continental/continental plate convergence d. oceanic/continental convergence 5. Briefly describe the pattern of locations of earthquakes and volcanoes.  How might you explain this pattern to someone who does not yet know about plate tectonics?

Our final assignment for this course is a research essay where you will investigate a pressing issue facing film, culture, or media brought about by the Internet and other digital technologies. You may revisit or expand on a topic you explored in your Media Model or Concept Analysis. Alternatively, you may choose a new topic to explore. In your essay: Describe the current events or situation surrounding your topic. Present an argument. You might choose to explain why this is a problem, and even offer an analysis of done to address it. You might argue that the situation presents an opportunity, which deserves more attention than it has currently. In other words, your essay must answer the following questions about your topic: “What is happening here? Why is it important? What should be done about it?” Include a clear thesis statement which answers these questions. Use facts and research to establish an informed position on the issues at hand. Consult at least 5 supporting sources for your essay. These must include: 2 or more scholarly peer-reviewed sources. 1 example pieces of media (such as a film, YouTube video, artwork, book, meme, blog post) used as evidence, a primary source, or case study. You may use the media example from your first assignment for this purpose. 1 newsworthy article or source Remember, a quote does not indicate research. Analysis of your sources should be integrated into your essay, nor merely quoted or cited. Need help creating a thesis statement?

The uploaded document is an example of how the essay should be. I don’t request to address the reflection questions. The research topic will be the impact of technology on interpersonal communication. I would like to have some insight on social networks as well.  Thank you.

For the final assignment, I will provide each of you with a total synthesis paper to read and evaluate. You will write a short, informal paper (~3-4 pages) containing the following sections (numbered, please):• Brief bio of the researchers• Importance of the work, history, previous work – must contain at least one image taken from a previous synthesis or study of the molecule.• General plan and key step(s) – must contain discussion of the core concept(s) behind the key steps including at least one original ChemDraw composition.• Discussion on the success or failures of the approach, including discussion of the execution of the key step.• One additional reaction you had never seen before and found interesting, including a mechanism for that reaction (can be drawn by you or lifted from a previous paper).• References – must use at least 4 original research papers beyond the assigned one (so at least 5 total). No more than 1 paper can be cited in section 1 alone.https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.orglett.8b02478(Total Synthesis of Repraesentin F and Configuration Reassignment by a Gold(I)-Catalyzed Cyclization Cascade)

I do not have very specific info from the professor.  The only file she has given is how to write a lab report pdf she pulled from the tutoring center.  I am flexible on the subject of the paper. If it needs to be changed to something else, please message me to ensure that we went over it in my class. I dont want to turn in a paper on something we didnt cover.  This week you are designing, carrying out, and writing up your own physics experiment! The December 7-10 pages provide guidance, and I expect to see you at virtual office hours with questions! I’m happy to help you at any stage of the process, even to help you think of an experiment. I will be asking the following questions when I grade: Is this an experiment that relates substantively to PHY 111? (You can make the connection clear in your introduction.) Are the independent, dependent, and control variables clear and appropriate? Does the experiment actually address the hypothesis? Was the experiment carried out with appropriate measurements and precision? Is a thorough and accurate understanding of the relevant physics demonstrated? Is the experiment original (we didn’t already do it in class and I can’t find it in existence already online)? Is the conclusion appropriate and commensurate with the results? Does the lab report follow the guidelines — both the format and the substance of each section?

Option 1) Analysis Project! Choose any song or piece (a comparison of two pieces is also acceptable), and provide an analysis essay (1500-2000 words) using the terms we have learned in class. If a score is available, great! If not, that’s ok, provide an audio file or link. Your analysis should include a few quick details at the beginning about the artist and the circumstances of the composition, but the majority of the essay should be focussed on the musical details of the work itself. Some important details you might include could be: what is the key? Does it have a key? What about rhythm, does it have a regular time signature, how many big beats per measure? etc. Is there a regular rhythmic pattern or is it changing? Are there scales and/or chords present? Can you identify them? How often does the harmony change? Do you recognize parts of the harmonic progression? How many voices are there (i.e. melody? bass? other details about instrumentation)? Are there motives? Gestures? Phrases? Can you remark on anything else about the form? Melody? Harmony? Rhythm? And so on! I also encourage you to explore higher level aesthetic questions, What do you find most significant moments in the work, why? Are there moments of tension? or moments of repose? How do the parts of the piece all fit together to tell a story? How does it make you feel? How does it go about expressing whatever it seems to be expressing? If you can connect these questions back to the musical details above, that would be the ultimate goal of analysis.

There is a 5-page case study about Lytro, no further research is required beyond the case. The assignment is to conduct an entrepreneurial strategy assessment of Lytro and develop recommendations for how it can enhance its chance to establish and sustain a competitive advantage based on three questions:  1) Comparing Alternative Entrepreneurial Strategies – 50% of the paper 2) Choosing an Entrepreneurial Strategy – 25% of the paper 3) Entrepreneurial Strategy Recommendations – 25% of the paper In-depth details are found in the attachments, it quite a simple paper, no research needed beyond the case. It’s 8-pages but you can including any frameworks used, so I’d say the writing can be 7 pages. We can discuss this further and I will be available to submit any further data/frameworks and answer any questions needed.
