RESEARCH ABOUT WOMEN’S STATUS IN THE EARLY REPUBLIC WHEN THE REPUBLICANS COME TO POWER IN 1800-1824. TALK ABOUT WOMEN’S TYPE OF EDUCATION, HOW LAWS WERE GIVEN TO THEM, AND WOMEN AND CHURCH GOVERNANCE

Instructions are below on the document I uploaded and just make sure the paper has a thesis – that is, something you’re trying to prove ABOUT women’s status.

 

FORMAT: Research papers must include:

 

  • A COVER PAGEwith your name, paper title, and semester.

 

  • An OUTLINE PAGE with yourTHESIS STATEMENT
  • 1 page or less, with a thesis statement (saying what your paper will show or what it will prove about your topic).
  • An outlineshowing how you plan to develop your topic is required and should be placed at the beginning of your paper.
  • The outline shows, in abbreviated form, how your paper will be organized.
  • It should be a page or less. SAMPLE OUTLINE.

 

  • 7 to 10 PAGES OF TEXT(typed, double-spaced).
  • Do not submit less than 7 pages.
  • You must have at least 7 full pages of TEXT. SAMPLE PAPERwith endnotes.
  • If you type footnotes at the end of the paper, this page DOES count as part of your 7 pages.
  • Your Bibliography does NOT count as part of the 7 pages.
  • Any quotes in your paper that are over 3 linesmust be INDENTED AND SINGLE-SPACED.

 

  • FOOTNOTES or ENDNOTES(no “parenthetical” citations).
  • The paper must include at least three PRIMARY and four SECONDARY sources (see explanation below).
  • You MUST cite the source for any material that is not your own.
  • This is done using a footnote (“endnotes” are also acceptable).
  • Use the footnote form in either the Chicago Manual of Style or Kate Turabian’s A Guide for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations.
  • Do notuse parenthetical citations (that is, an author’s name and a page number in parentheses at the end of a sentence).
  • Ask Dr. Thomas or a reference librarian for assistance.
  • Do not use encyclopedias.
  • Do not use online encyclopedias, such as Encarta or Wikipedia.
  • SAMPLE FOOTNOTESformat.

 

  • A BIBLIOGRAPHY PAGE with Primary and Secondary sources separately.
  • A Bibliography is different from Endnotes or Footnotes.
  • A Bibliography goes at the very end of your paper, on a separate page – AFTER the Endnotes.
  • Follow the bibliographic form found in either the Chicago Manual of Style or Kate Turabian’s A Guide for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations.
  • A bibliography is alphabetized by author’s last name.
  • For THIS paper, you must separate the bibliography into Primary and Secondary sources.  But for most research papers, you do not do that.
  • Ask Dr. Thomas or a reference librarian if you need assistance.
  • SAMPLE BIBLIOGRAPHY(scroll down ½  page).

 

  • Writing assignments must be typedand double-spaced.
  • ACC Learning Resource Centers(libraries) have computers available to students.

 

THESIS:

Your paper must argue a thesis -that is, something you are trying to prove about your topic.

    • It is not enough to say what happened and when – you must argue the historical significance of your topic.
    • For example, if you are writing about Women on the Home front during the Civil War, you could argue that women played roles critical to success, such as working in government offices, growing crops, running businesses, and providing critical nursing care for soldiers.
    • Your paper would then discuss and support this argument by giving evidence (examples) from historical sources. State your thesis on the OUTLINE page.
    • Example of a thesis statement:

Describe how a smaller company could benefit from utilizing the 100% rule.

/in /by

PART A: 400-500 WORDS

 

The 100% rule is used in decision modeling to determine whether or not a change in project constraints or variables will affect the outcome of a decision. Under the 100% rule, any combination changes can occur without a change in the solution, as long as the total percentage deviation from the coordinate extremes does not exceed 100%.

 

Large companies are constantly making changes to projects and frequently use the 100% rule to compare simultaneous changes and how they will impact the bottom line. Now, take into account a small company with less than 50 employees, and describe how a smaller organization could benefit from utilizing the 100% rule.

 

  • Describe how a smaller company could benefit from utilizing the 100% rule.
  • In your opinion, would it be effective for smaller organizations to utilize this rule?
  • Can the coefficient of a decision making variable change while the optimal point remains the same?
  • Does the feasible region change?
  • Can RHS value of a constraint be changed?
  • Does the feasible region change?
  • Can OFC values be changed?

GUNDERSON LUTHERAN HEALTH SYSTEM IN LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN, IS A HEALTH CARE DELIVERY COMPANY

Gunderson Lutheran Health System in La Crosse, Wisconsin, is a health care delivery company that includes a 325-bed hospital, several specialty medical practices, and 41 clinics. In a recent year, they saw 1.4 million outpatient visits. The network has 6,834 employees including physicians, medical staff, managers and supervisors, and senior leaders. The age of their health care managers was a concern when asked whether they had a ready supply of leaders to step in. Upper management felt that growing leaders internally made sense from the standpoint of continuity and cultural fit. The HR staff researched best practices in talent management and development. The result was the establishment of a Talent Development Review Group including the top leaders. This group became accountable for developing leaders, making necessary development happen, and overseeing the growth of high-potential (high-po) talent. The Review Group followed five steps in their process.
1. They spent two years building a tiered leadership competency model that included criteria for executives, directors, and managers to ensure the right mix of KSAs. The tiered model defined behaviors and competencies necessary to demonstrate excellence in each role. The competencies were used for behavioral interview questions and for position descriptions, and they formed the basis for 360-degree feedback.
2. The next step was to identify high-potential talent. The Review Group picked candidates for consideration in each of four pools. Pool members had to demonstrate willingness to:
• Advance
• Participate in leadership assessment
• Receive feedback and coaching
• Take on development opportunities
• Invest the necessary time
In the five years after the program began, 60 high-po employees at all levels of leadership were identified, assessed, and had their career paths discussed.
3. Once high-pos had been identified and invited into a pool, it was time to assess the talent.
The high-pos took assessment tools to identify strengths and development needs. Each candidate and the Review Group determined an initial strategy for closing gaps in the candidate’s readiness.
4. A variety of tools were used to develop plans for individual high-pos, including stretch assignments, role expansion, job rotations, coaching, on boarding, continuing education, mentoring, project assignments, and committee assignments.
5. Tracking progress included setting milestones and success metrics to make sure candidates would build the necessary skills. The effect of the development activities on performance was measured as well, with feedback from peers, colleagues, and superiors. The Review Group continues to look at progress annually. While numbers tell a positive story, another big change has been in the culture among the top leaders, who now see talent development as a strategic necessity.
Would you let the names of the high-pos out to the rest of the organization? Why or why not?
