Thread: First, visit the website for National Review Online. This is a leading conservative magazine and articles are written from various points on the conservative spectrum. Occasionally, it may disagree with a point on the lecture outline of liberal and conservative views. Select an article to review. If there are no suitable articles at the National Review Magazine website, you may select an article from Real Clear Politics. Alternatively, you may look at copies of the magazine at a bookstore or college library and choose an article that way. Select an article that is at least 800 words.

Second, review the concepts in the lecture on conservatism and liberalism. You must refer to the presentations to receive full credit.

Third, identify the key themes of the article. Compare these with what you have learned about conservatism and liberalism. What conservative ideas do you find expressed in the article? Why do you call them conservative? Are any liberal points present in the article? If so, what are they? Why do you call them liberal?

Your thread must consist of 2 paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you must summarize the content of the article and identify the thesis of the author. In the second paragraph, you must give the analysis, explaining why the article should be considered conservative or liberal based on the presentations.

Remember: Do not simply summarize the article. Instead, analyze its main ideas. Demonstrate that you can apply the conceptual material provided in the presentation outline and your textbook to actual writings you might encounter outside of this course.

Your thread must offer several points of analysis and demonstrate that you have reviewed the presentation by making references to the points from the presentation. Select an article that is long enough to give you sufficient points upon which to write. Include the author and title of the article you choose and cite the source.

A civil engineer is designing a bridge which is 101 metres long, 30 metres high and is to have four identical parabolic arches along its length. Each arch is 20 metres high and there is one metre between the base of each arch as shown in the diagram. (a) How wide is each arch at its base? (b) A set of Cartesian axes is placed as shown in the diagram with the origin at the left hand end of the base of the first arch. Find the equation of the first arch. Use the general equation y = a(x  h)2 + k. (Hint − Substitute the x and y coordinates of known points on Arch 1 to determine the values of a, h and k.) (c) Find the equation of the second arch. (d) A river will flow through the third arch. Barges on the river are a standard size: 3 metres across and with the top of the barge 0.5 metres above the water. How far below the top of the arch can the water level rise and still allow a barge to pass through?

U100 Artistic Cultural Event

 

As part of the U100 course, you are required to attend one artistic cultural event at CSUN during the semester. You can choose from the CSUN Art Gallery current exhibit, an event at the VPAC or the Theatre department’s Spring program line-up. After this experience, please submit a write-up according to the guidelines provided below.

 

 

General instructions:

 

Be sure to read any background or explanatory text/material associated with the event. Items such as program notes, lobby displays, exhibit captions and other documentary material can enhance your experience and broaden your understanding of the artists’ conception, vision, or intent.

 

It’s probably a good idea for you to read through the questions below before you actually attend the event or performance.

 

Your write-up should include the following:

 

• The title of the event/exhibit/performance/concert/etc. along with basic information including date, time, and location.
• Include an introductory paragraph that provides a description and enough detail about the nature and structure of the event to convey a vivid sense of it to the reader.
• Reflect on your experience by responding to these questions (please number your answers and write well developed paragraphs):

 

1. What was the point of this event and how was it communicated? Do you think the production/concert/exhibit effectively achieves its goals?

 

2. What, if anything, did you notice or observe about other members of the “audience?” For example, was the theatre full, did people seem involved or interested, were the attendees diverse in age, gender, dress, etc., or were they a homogeneous group?

 

3. Have you experienced a similar event in the past? If so, how are these events similar? If not, how does this event compare to types of experiences you have had? Was this event what you “expected”?

 

4. What impressed or affected you the most, in what way, and why?

 

5. How did any written texts support the production or deepen your experience? (i.e., program notes, web site, etc.)  How did these texts help your understanding? Be specific.

 

7. What connections can you make between the ways the performers work together and your college experience? Are there any connections to Garbology in terms of messages, themes (use of material, use of efforts, community, etc)?

 

8. How did attending the event change your understanding of yourself, of someone else, or of the world around you?

 

9. Are there other issues that the questions above do not address? What are they?

 

In responding to the questions, be sure to avoid general statements that are not supported. Statements such as “I liked the performance,” or “I didn’t like the music” are useless opinions unless you explain why.

 

Logistics:

 

Papers should be at least 2 pages, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font with 1” margins on all sides.

 

See class schedule for due dates. You will upload your assignment to turnitin on Moodle.
