I need one primary writer to help with the Exam! For the Final Exam you will write two comparative visual analyses and complete two short answer questions. You have a total of 1 hour 45 minutes for the exam. Therefore, organize and read over your notes and Reading Assessments beforehand, print out the PowerPoint PDFs and re-familiarize yourself with all of the visuals, beginning with German Expressionism/Cubism through Postmodernism, so that you may be best prepared to take the exam. You may need to reference your textbook, which is fine. However, everything needs to be in your own words. Plagiarism of any sort will result in a zero score. Outside research beyond your text and lecture notes will result in a zero score. I would recommend that you provide yourself with 35 minutes for each comparative analysis, and 10-15 minutes for each short answer so that you have at least 5 minutes to review your answers prior to submission. The time is structured for prepared students; you should not have to look up all of this information but only make quick references to material that you are already familiar with.

In your initial discussion post this week present an argument that proposes one change to our electoral system. (Please note, it will not be acceptable to say you do not think any change should be made.)

Several possible changes to could be:

• Eliminating the Electoral College
• Instituting required Voter ID
• Allowing felons to vote.
• Mandatory voting.
• Instituting an Election Day Holiday in which all Americans do not have to vote.
• You may also get creative and come up with your own original change!

Just be sure to go beyond just stating what change you want to make, but present an argument for why we should make that change and how that change would improve our electoral system.

In your argument, do not use words like âfairâ or âgoodâ or âbetterâ or âequalâ â how do you measure what is or is not âfairâ? What if you and I have different definitions of what is or is not fair (these are not universal terms)?

3. Tell me about your most fulfilling day on the job (and your worst)

People that I have interacted with say I am patient and nice to adults. I need to hold teachers more accountable. You know if I see them running late for work I must get thim , but that is not my stile. On the other side many people said that I keep calm down, especially in emergencies.

Reflection on the response

Mr. Mark Eisenhour professional and personal life has been fulfilling. He has been blessed with two teenagers who have graduated from high school. His teaching career is one with humble beginnings. He began as a special educator and pushed himself outside the comfort zone and dared to dream bigger. Over time he succeeds and becomes the principal of William High school where he demonstrates exemplary leadership skills that make him gain respect in the school community where is celebrated for being patient and nice to adults.

Interestingly, he enjoys his profession and other leadership roles (Ingersoll, Sirinides & Dougherty, 2018). He has fun interacting directly with students and is elated when even the underachievers finally graduate. Important to note, he advises educational leaders to focus more on classroom work and more importantly remember support to teachers and students at all times. Finally, he has a legacy of showing respect and fairness to everyone.

In brief, teaching is a vast profession that equips one with paramount experience in various fields of life. For instance, the teaching profession plays a critical role in nurturing and fostering one’s leadership skills. This is because positions like the Principal allows one to know to deal with all the members of society irrespective of the age. Just to mention, the principal is in charge of students, teachers, and the subordinate staff. As such, he or she is able to learn how to lead this big with minimal challenges. This ends up creating or morphing a good leader who can lead different people in the society irrespective of the inherent challenges.
