please use at least six different references in your research for this paper.  You want to look for journal articles, scholarly websites, information on-line from major professional or scholarly organizations, etc…

– the research paper should be written in either MLA or APA format (either is fine depending on your field of study), and your references should be done according to the academic format that you use.

– again, your thinking should focus on current scholarship on your topic (best practices in treatment, current research findings on causes of a mental disorder, current findings in terms of child or adult development, etc…).  Please give some thought to the topic you select and do a preliminary search to make sure you can find enough references and scholarly information.

2. Critical evaluation of the effect of consumption of various fractions of dietary fibre consumption on human health.
3. Evaluation of the evidence for the increased intake of n-3 fatty acids for improved cardiovascular health.
4. Appraisal of aetiology of alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD).
5. Appraisal of the metabolism of lipoproteins in human body.
Research each topics 1 and 2 and your selected topic, and write each of them into three brief critical essays of 1000 words each. Making your total word count at least 3000.

Research Paper Outline

/in /by

Please maintain academic integrity. If you plagiarize, it will be reported and you will fail the class

Pick a non-US film from the period 1960-present.
You may write a comparative paper if you so wish, but please do not write about more than 3 films.
You must use at least 4-5 sources you have found during research. All 5 sources may be secondary, but if you want to include primary sources, limit these to 2, with the other 3 being scholarly, secondary sources rather than popular sources (check with your TA if you are unsure which is which)
The choice of film is yours, you may use a film from the syllabus, or from off the syllabus, but you must have access to the film (so you can watch it repeatedly in order to write your paper).
Write a research based paper in which you critically analyze and discuss the film through a historical framework. When thinking about which kind of framework or focus you want to take, consider some of these potential avenues:
How concepts of authorship or film style were affected by the political environment in which the film was made e.g. under fascism, post-colonialism
The role the government played in constricting or liberating film production, for example, through legislation or subsidies and other financial support.
Other cultural or social issues that the film/s may address directly, such as youth culture, feminism, immigration, violence, etc. These issues must be historically situated within a specific national context (in other words, think about why are your issue is important, or being debated in the time and place the film is being made?) This information will help you analyze your film, by providing historical context for your analysis.
Tips

Try to identify a question you want to answer through writing the paper. You can make this question the title of your paper. Answering this question will result in your thesis.

Show your research in your writing include information from primary sources you have used, and cite/quote what other film scholars have written about your chosen topic. However, remember to keep the thesis original and your own.

Use your chosen film to support your argument and discuss your topic. There should be a good balance between presenting your research, and analyzing the film/s.

Once youve written your paper, read it out loud. You can improve flow by checking your writing this way.

Research Paper Outline & Annotated Bibliography: Due April 29 at midnight

Write roughly 200-250 words outlining the chosen topic for your research paper.

Gather and organize an annotated bibliography that will help you write your research paper that includes 4-5 sources.

You may include class readings, but they will not count towards your 4-5 sources.

Be aware that the most helpful sources may not be directly about your chosen film, but might instead speak more broadly to your chosen topic. For example, the national film industry you are looking at, or what is going on politically and socially in the nation you are focusing on at the time your chosen film was made. It is advisable to find a mix of sources some of which are broad in scope (to give you historical/political/cultural, or social context) as well as those which are about your specific film/s.

All 4/5 can be secondary scholarly sources (books, book chapters, articles in peer-reviewed journals), or, if you chose, you may include 2 primary sources and 2/3 secondary sources. Please only include one popular source.

Each of your annotations should include roughly the following:

A brief description of the content/authors argument
How helpful or relevant do you believe the source is for your paper? (Will it shape a major part of your paper or only part? What part of your paper will it help most with?)
Who is the author where do they work/teach what is their area of expertise?

game theory

/in /by

The requirements for this project are as follows: Each group will take a situation and create a simple, game
theoretic model which that group will solve. This situation can be a scene from a movie, a game, or a realworld scenario. Original thought should be the center of this idea, so you should not take an example directly
from an example that I discussed in class or from a paper that you find. Groups should push themselves
to either write down a more general model, or to look at different versions of the game they are analyzing.
For example, writing down a prisoners dilemma and solving is not sufficient for a good grade on the project.
The situation that you pick should be inspired by your interests. This paper should be no less than 3 pages,
double-spaced, with 12 pt font. Instead of analyzing a model in this way, students may also choose to run an
experiment in the class to test the predictions of game theory.
In this project, you should clearly outline what you are modeling and why it is interesting. You should
then clearly define the model, meaning that you should write down the players, the strategy space, and the
payoffs. You should also go through a simple example that gives a flavor of what the solution looks like, and
you should conclude by discussing your predicted solution and how it ties in to the situation you are modeling.
Students who choose to run an experiment should still follow the same steps above, but should detail why
they are running an experiment. In addition, students should detail the results of the experiment and why
they match or mismatch the theory.
