Reflection

You will select six (6) scholarly sources, such as books, articles, interviews, etc. that you collected through your research conducted with the Kent State Library scholarly databases.  Your topic of research must build on the critical scholarship surrounding the topic of Technology and Identity. Depending on your research, you may also be using other primary sources or video interviews available through accredited websites.

Each document should have a title page, each citation should be in alphabetical order like a References page, page numbers should be used. Your work must demonstrate that you have a clear understanding of the sources that you are annotating.  You must read or view each source in its entirety.  If you are only using specific chapters of a book, you should only cite those chapters.

The content of your annotations must include a summary, an assessment, and a reflection, in that order. The first paragraph will be a summary.  What new information is the author discussing?  What method is the author using?  What are the author’s main points? What is the author’s thesis and what information does the author use to support it?  The second paragraph will be an assessment.  How does this source compare with your other sources? Is it a useful and reliable source?  Is it a biased source?  Explore the author’s relationship to the source and the credibility of the source itself, as well as examine its relationship to your other sources.  The third paragraph will be a reflection.  How does this source fit into your argument?  Does this source change your argument?  How does this source support your working thesis?

PLAGIARISM FREE

Most of you may have heard the adage, “If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.” This principle is true in multiple areas of life, particularly within the classroom environment. Think back over your educational experiences.

What was one of the worst lessons that you can remember enduring? How did the teacher fail to convey the material? Was it blatantly obvious that he or she was unprepared for class? Can you recall any overarching themes? What could he or she have done differently?

  1. Which of the following arguments are valid? Which are invalid?
  2.   Donna will get an A in philosophy if an only if she writes a good paper. Donna got an A in philosophy. Therefore, she wrote a good paper. B.  If Donna writes a good paper, she will get an A in philosophy. Donna got an A in philosophy. Therefore, she wrote a good paper. C.

If the rapture has occurred, then either some of the cars on the highway will be unoccupied or all drivers are damned. Some drivers are not damned. None of the cars on the highway are unoccupied. Therefore, the rapture has not occurred. E  Some snarks are bandersnatches. All bandersnatches are igglypoofs. So, some snarks are igglypoofs.
  3. Answer the following questions. Give short explanations that reason from the definitions of the relevant logical concepts
  4. Does an argument provide a good reason for believing its conclusion if it is valid? Explain.
  5. Can a valid argument have a false conclusion? Explain.
  6. Can a sound argument have a false conclusion? Explain.
  7. What is it for a statement to be valid? (trick question)
  8. Which of the following arguments are inductively strong? Which are weak?
  9. It has rained every day in the Darién Gap for the past twenty-five years. Thus it will probably rain in the Darién Gap tomorrow.
  10. People try on shoes before buying them. People drive cars before signing up for a three-year lease. People take a close look at travel information before committing to an expensive vacation. Thus people should have sex with each other before committing to marriage.

  14. Answer the following questions. Give short explanations based on the definitions of the relevant concepts.
  15. Explain how deductive validity and inductive strength differ.
  16. Can the conclusion of an inductively cogent argument be false? Explain.
  17. Must an inductively strong argument have true premises? Explain.

THIS BELOW PART IS THE READING FOR THE ASSIGNMENT (NOT PART OF THE QUESTIONS)

Validity Recap:

It will help to keep these categories separate:

Statements or claims can be true or false, but not valid, sound, strong or cogent.

Arguments are sets of statements. Arguments can’t be true or false. The can be valid, sound strong or cogent.

Properties of Statements (or claims) Properties of Arguments
True or false Valid

Sound

Strong

Cogent

When we way an argument is valid (or strong) we are not claiming that its premises are true. We are only claiming that IF they are true, then the conclusion is true (or likely to be true in the case of strength).

Arguments Deductive Inductive
Premises support conclusion Valid

If the premises are then the conclusion must be true

 Strong

If the premises are true then the conclusion is likely to be true
Support + true premises Sound

Valid an all premises are true

 Cogent

Strong and all premises are true

Valid argument can have false premises and they can have false conclusions. When we say an argument is valid we are only saying that the conclusion must be true IF all the premises are true. Each of the arguments in the chart below is valid:

True Premises Some false premises
True conclusion 1.      If cats are felines then they nurse their young.

2.      Cats are felines

3.      So cats nurse their young.

 1.       If dogs are felines then they nurse their young

2.      Dogs are felines

3.      So dogs nurse their young
False conclusion No such thing. For an argument to be valid is for it to be impossible for it premises to be true and its conclusion false. 1.      If fish are felines then they nurse their young

2.      fish are felines

3.      So fish nurse their young

Instructions

Reflect on a time where you had to rely on fixed and variable costs to predict total cost. What would you have done had you not had that information to use? Consider a time when you had to rely on fixed and variable costs to predict total costs. Reflect on the possible outcome had one of these two variables not been known. Explain what you might have done. Note: If you have not had to rely on fixed and variable costs to predict cost before, identify what you would do if placed in that situation.

Assessment Questions Accounting

QUESTION 11

    Use the high-low method to determine the cost equation and use machine hours as the base for a cost driver in the analysis.

QUESTION 12

  1. The controller for Camden’s Bike Shop has gathered the following cost and activity level information:
    Average total cost per unit$225.00Production level used to calculate average cost1,000Total fixed costs$80,000

    1. What is the total cost of producing 1,000 racing bicycles?
    2. What is the variable cost of producing each racing bicycle?
    3. Suppose the controller uses the average cost to predict total costs. What total cost would the controller calculate for 2,500 racing bicycles?
    4. If the controller uses the cost equation to predict total costs, what total cost would the controller calculate for 2,500 racing bicycles?
    5. Is there a difference between the forecasted total cost using average cost versus the cost equation? If there is a difference, what creates the difference? If there is no difference, when would there be a difference?

Ethics

Option 1. Do you identify more with Kant’s deontology or Bentham’s Utilitarianism from Chapter 5?  Is intention more important than consequences? Give an example of a difficult decision you made that you feel was the morally right decision. Was your decision based on intention, on consequences, or on a combination of both?

Option 2. Refer to Box 6.3 on page 254 in your textbook. Consider the idea that rationality creates good decisions. Identify a decision you made that could have used more reason (logic) to arrive at a good or moral decision or identify a decision that you made rationally that could have used more emotion.

Directions:

Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words and should adequately answer the following asked. You should then respond to two classmates by elaborating on something said, giving clarification, or asking a question. Each response post should be between 25-50 words.  Your initial post is worth 15 points, and each response post is worth 5 points. See the Syllabus for the grading criteria.
