I need someone that can write a readmission letter for a university saying that I started to take classes in the university in FALL 2017 but I wasnt able to started the right way due to personal situations (including death and personal illness). Also that I took the FALL 2018 semester off because I felt I needed to so everything in my life can be in order but now I feel ready to look forward and continue my classes this upcoming summer in a very enthusiastic way but if there an possibility in which I can start before since I am not a new student it would be great. 

Does anyone know the proper usage for the semicolon and the colon?

/in /by

A comma is one musical beat, a semicolon is two, a colon is three, and a full stop is four.

I borrow this comparison from Lynn Truss’s brilliant Eats, Shoots and Leaves. Sometimes a main sentence needs a brief buffer between itself and a dependent clause, and that’s what the comma is for. When it needs a buffer between the main sentence and an independent clause, that is the function of a colon. And when you need a nuanced pause somewhere in between, that’s when we draft the semicolon.

It’s helpful to think of the semicolon as a really strong comma, and the colon as almost a period. Also, when a sentence segues into something akin to a list, the colon demarcates the sentence from the list and the semicolon separates the elements on the list from one another.

I sometimes use the em-dash (double hyphen) and semicolon interchangeably, but if I need two pauses of that magnitude in one sentence, I use the em-dash.

Historical Thinking Skills: Continuity and Change, Summary, Analysis, and Synthesis

Historical Thinking Skills: Continuity and Change, Summary, Analysis, and Synthesis

  • Continuity and change: How has this issue remained the same? How has it changed?
    • Ex labor: continuity- POC, immigrants, poor (slaves → sharecroppers and immigrants → prisoners and immigrants)
    • Ex labor: changes- no more slavery, but taken on different forms; Irish and Chinese to Central Americans
  • Synthesis: putting those 3-5 sources into one cohesive paper (putting 3-5 instruments into the song)

Objective: The 1920s marked the modern American Era. However, with changes in traditional American society also came backlash. You will be researching one of the areas of conflict in the 1920s and how that issue has remained a continuity in America. You will be practicing the research cycle with this assignment.

Research Cycle:

  • Step 1: Start with an inquiry question. This is a burning area of interest that cannot simply be answered with a level 1 question and answer. “ Which immigrant groups were being targeted?” vs. “How has America continued to target Mexican and Mexican-Americans?”
  • Due today:
    • Topic: Labor
    • Inquiry Question: Why has labor not changed and still mostly poor, POCs, and immigrants?
    • I want to know how/why…hate groups are still active today.
    • How has the KKK remained active and how (something about their style of activism has changed?)
  • Step 2: Research and edit inquiry question as needed. Start skimming and reading articles (academic, journals, newspaper articles) about your topic. Not every article is going to be useful. You will read 10, and maybe find 1 that you will use. That is part of the process. A good article is one that answers your question and can lead to other topics to widen your research. For this assignment, you will need anywhere for 3-5 sources.
  • Use google
    • Search term site:edu
  • Pbs.org
  • Time magazine
  • Digital history
  • Ny times
  • LA Times
  • Step 3: Organize your research. You will be using a synthesis matrix to gather and organize information from your articles.
  • Step 4: Write up your findings. Using your synthesis matrix and research, write up what you found to answer your inquiry question. This is a mini research paper. The word count is around 600-750 words or 2 ⅔ – 3 pages, typed, 12 point font. Your paper must include an intro paragraph that contextualized your topic, body paragraphs that support your thesis, and a conclusion that addresses the significance of your research.

Provide a 1 page analysis while answering the following question: World Atlas of Great Apes and their Conservation. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. They have arms, which are longer than their legs and is an avid tree climber. They usually walk on all fours with the use of their knuckles supporting on the ground. This type of locomotion is called “knuckle-walking”. The chimpanzees have no tail and have a dark hairy coat. The brain of the chimpanzee only comes to half the size of that of human.

It is also an interesting fact, that chimpanzee use tools for food hunting purpose. “Chimpanzee tools are used both for feeding and for other purposes, such as body care and signaling, but the subsistence tools used for obtaining food show with special clarity the problem of explaining behavioral variant as ecological adaptation”(Wrangham 21).

They are omnivores and eats fruits. seeds, flowers, and plant shoots. They also eat termites, ants, and small animals. They communicate with the help of facial expression, gestures, and hands. Chimpanzees are social animals and live in small, stable groups of about forty to sixty individuals. They are very intelligent and it is our duty to protect their life.

Case Assignment

For this first Case Assignment, your task is to apply some of the leadership development tools that you read about in the background materials to your own personal development. As a warning, this assignment as well as several other assignments will involve taking a lot of surveys. Of course surveys are not the only tools used in leadership development, but they are one of the most popular tools and many leadership coaching companies charge a lot of money for the surveys that they’ve developed. Fortunately some of the surveys discussed in the background readings are available for free. The purpose of taking the quizzes are both for use in your leadership development, and also to get a taste of what various leadership coaches out there are doing and charging their clients for.

Make sure to thoroughly review the background readings before writing your paper. The main tasks in this assignment are A) read the background materials, B) take some self-assessment quizzes, and C) write up a self-development plan based on what you’ve read about in this module and your score on the quizzes. More specifically, write a four to five page paper addressing the following questions:

1.       Take the Values in Action (VIA) Inventory of Strengths that was discussed in the background materials. This instrument is available for free but you need to register:  : https://www.viacharacter.org/survey/account/register If you can find a free variation of the Strengthsfinder survey online you take this one instead, but the “official” Strengthsfinder survey from Gallup is not free. Report and discuss your results. Were your results surprising or what you expected to find? [One half to one page in length]

2.       Now take the Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment in Chapter 3 of Sterret (2006) as well as the Leadership Assessment in this chapter. Discuss how you scored on each of the different elements of Emotional Intelligence as well as your Leadership Assessment. Report and discuss your results. Were your results surprising or what you expected to find? [One half to one page in length]

3.       Now we get to the main heart of the assignment. Based on what you have learned in this module and the quizzes you took above, give some specific examples of how you will improve your leadership skills. Your examples should be based on both your results on the two quizzes, and from the required readings. Make sure to cite at least two of the required readings in your answers, and support your answers with specific results from the quizzes that you took. [One and a half to two pages]

4.       Finally, discuss the main limitations of the quizzes you took and the concepts you read about for this module. What information is missing from the quizzes you took? What additional important aspects of leadership development are not covered in this material or quizzes? What else do you think you need to know about yourself in order to improve your leadership skills? [One page]

Initial Post

After you have read these four (4) articles, make your initial post, ensuring that it has these items:

  1. A very brief outline of your speech (maybe one sentence per slide);
  2. Observations of what kind of design and visual impacts you might use (see first 3 articles for ideas); and
  3. Strategies you might take to make your presentation especially effective (see 4th article for ideas).

You may include your draft Power Point (you don’t have to). Remember that the speech itself will either be in the Notes section of Power Point OR in an audio recording attached with your Power Point. You don’t have to submit those in this forum either. Keep in mind your speech has to meet length requirements: either 1,000 words (if it is in the Notes section of power point) More info can be found in the assignment description.

You will also have to cite your sources, using the appropriate citation style for your topic. The APUS Library has a guide to help you determine what style to use. The library also has citation guides for the major citation styles, including APA, Chicago, and MLA.
