Literature Review


Due date: Nov 21 Each student will write a literature review on a tourism planning/policy topic of his or her choosing. The review will be developed incrementally throughout the semester through collaborative classroom discussions. The purpose of this paper is to help students relate to the tourism ways of thinking introduced in the course to topics of personal interest and in doing so, develop research, writing and critical analytical skills.
Select five industry peer-reviewed journal articles (within the last ten years) addressing the chosen topic. Write a summary of each article and develop a comprehensive summary of all the articles relating how the information from the individual articles describes the current issue.
See example of sample literature review posted on Blackboard. Length – The final paper length is expected to be 1,500-2,500 words, not including a title page or bibliography. Content and Structure – The paper should briefly introduce your chosen topic and clearly state a thesis/abstract that describes the purpose or argument contained in your paper. You should very briefly (no more than 1 page) describe the topic as though it was being presented to peers who are mostly ignorant about the topic. The body of the paper should use tourism policy and planning analysis to critically think about one or more aspects of the topic. For example, you might discuss how place-specific physical landscape, political, economic, cultural, and social variables are influencing factors; or elaborate on the lack of preparedness for crisis in tourism destinations. This might entail the use of maps/spatial analysis, quantitative data, analysis of current affairs, policy analysis, media critique, or anything else that would enable others to better understand the chosen topic. Finally, the paper should include a discussion of how the topic is relevant within contemporary society and pose questions or topics for further research.
Additional topical areas: ? Climate change and shifting coastlines ? Human trafficking ? Public transportation ? Post-Katrina NOLA ? The Gulf of Mexico oil spill ? Climate change and glacial melt ? Saharan desertification
2
? Invasive biological species ? Public spaces and parks ? Food, agriculture, livestock, aquaculture ? Waste/garbage

Compare or Contrast Essay


a paragraph with thesis statement on last sentence of the paragraph.
thesis statement must be comparing/contrast two cities that you ever visited.
body:
4 paragraph.
Example:
paragraph 1 (city A) about the people and culture/tradition in city A
paragraph 2 (city B) about the people and culture/tradition in city B
- In paragraph 1 & 2 each should comparing/contrast same subjects about the two cities. at least use two subject to be compare (ex. people and culture in each cities)
Example:
paragraph 3 (city A again) about neighborhood and Food in city A
paragraph 4 (city B again) about neighborhood and Food in city B
- In paragraph 3 & 4 is repeat like paragraph 1 & 2 each paragraph should comparing/contrast same subjects about the two cities but different subjects than paragraph 1 & 2. (ex. neighborhood and food in each cities)
- can use the subjects like the example or your own subject.
conclusion:
evaluation of two cities
choice or preferred ? from the two cities

Charles (2005) or Siemon et al. (2012)


choose their own ‘big idea’ based on one contained in articles by Charles (2005) or Siemon et al. (2012).
The task is designed to allow students to demonstrate their mathematical content knowledge and how that knowledge is based on rich understanding ofkey concepts and how those concepts are linked to a range of other ideas. The task is NOT based on any particular content strand ofthe AC: M (Number & Algebra,Measurement & Geometry or Statistics & Probability) but rather allows students to show how a ‘big idea’ of mathematics incorporates
component parts from more than one content strand.
Similarly, the task DOES NOT focus on a particular year level. Students should identify key aspects or component parts ofthe ‘big idea’ (i.e., parts that help develop the ‘big idea’ in combination with other parts). In
doing so, students will necessarily show aspects of previous knowledge that children would be expected to have at various levels.
The task should be linked to, and should reflect ideas expressed in the philosophy statement. Similarly, it should be reflected in the other
portfolio elements that follow, as far as is possible. The portfolio should be a ‘seamless’ document that has clarity and coherence and which clearly identifies the writer’s thoughts and beliefs about effective mathematics teaching. This particular part ofthe portfolio enables each student to demonstrate his/her content knowledge and to show that s/he understands how ‘big ideas’ help to make explicit the many connections that exist between mathematical ideas.
What to present.
1. Brief descriptive overview/rationale about the ‘big idea’ what it broadly encompasses, how it links to other ideas, why it is important etc.
2. Concept map, mind map, or some otherform of graphic organizer- show key component parts ofthe big idea and expand to show other elements and examples of each component part.
3.
Table or some other method of presentation showing how the component parts ofthe ‘big idea’ are identified in the Australian Curriculum:
Mathematics. Show specific year level content descriptors. In this section, select six ofthe content descriptors and give a brief overview of a task that could develop that descriptor in relation to the ‘big idea’.
4. Lesson Plan – develop ONE ofthe six activities/tasks described above into a concise lesson plan showing the mathematical focus, a specific learning objective, focus questions, basic description
of what children will do, clear and specific assessment pointers, and plan for review/reflection related to the focus/objective.

Film Analysis Research Proposal


Describe your research, film you have chosen for analysis, why and your method- how you will analyze the film. State your Research Question based on the thesis you will develop with evidence from other scholars and your film analysis. Film analysis should include analyses of the narrative, characters and relationships, direction, lighting and cinematography, music, sound and visual effects and other relevant elements of cinematic art, style and technique used to create your selected film.
Write detailed analysis of each scholars’ work and findings that inform your film analysis Journalism and web resources properly cited may be used in the final presentation but not in the literature review. Use the University Libraries Databases A-Z e-resource Communications and Mass Media articles index or other indices and select only academic (peer reviewed) journal, articles, full text only, and you can select years you wish to search. Books or book chapters relevant to your research area are also good for the literature review. Include APA bibliography information for your sources.

Assess Capital Budgeting Problems


Develop an assessment in which you address the following problems/questions:
1. Assess the relevant cash flows used in forming a capital budgeting decision model. For this assignment, focus upon a replacement problem.
2. Develop a capital budgeting decision model showing cash flows, cost of capital and decision metrics (i.e., npv, irr and payback). Form a conclusion based upon the analysis. Begin with the example problem on age 409 and 410 of the textbook, Table 12.2. Modify the problem in the following fashion and develop the analysis within an Excel spreadsheet.
- Assume the costs except depreciation are uncertain for the new machine. Develop the analysis in a spreadsheet and evaluate the sensitivity of the results for costs of 300, 400 and 500.
- Assume straight-line depreciation on both machines.
- The cost of capital is calculated based upon funding from retained earnings and from debt. The company is assumed to fund itself with 40% debt and 60% retained earnings. The cost of debt capital, rD, is 8%. The cost of capital from retained earnings, rS, is based upon the capital asset pricing model. The risk free rate in the market is 5% and the difference between the expected return on the market and the risk free rate is 5%. The beta for the company is 1.5. The tax rate is assumed to be 40%.
- Assume all other assumptions as given.
Support your paper with at least three (3) resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 pages not including title and reference pages
You should submit the Excel spreadsheet that you developed as well as a Word document in which you copy and paste the analysis that you developed in the Excel file. You should form a discussion that addresses each of the 2 questions above within the Word document and you should clearly address the issue of whether the project is acceptable over the different cost assumptions.
