Anthropology of Language and Communication

 

  • Select one of your family’s language(s) or dialect(s) to research for your Language Autobiography Project. For example, if your family speaks mostly English but you have Irish, German, Persian or Chinese ancestors, and you have relatives who are speakers of any of those national languages, you can select one of these languages for your project. If your relatives speak only English, you could focus on the regional or ethnic variant or dialect of American English spoken in your family, for example: Southern, Northwestern, Tex-Mex, Californian, African-American English (AAE or Ebonics), Cajun English etc. If your family speaks any language(s) other than English, you can choose the language that interests you the most.
  • In addition to the linguistic topics required for the Linguistic Autobiography Project (i.e., language history, evolution, syntax, grammar, tones, morphemes, etc.) think about and choose any specific sociocultural issue or issues that you would like to explore (for example, how the language has changed due to migration dynamics, power relations, social and political perceptions, etc.). Choose whatever topic is of interest to you. Remember that the main goal of this assignment is to do some fieldwork research through interviews with relatives who speak the language and can tell you about their experience with the language.
  • Send me (your instructor) an email describing briefly your choice of language, why you chose it, and the topics you would like to focus on. This step is required since you need to receive my feedback and approval in order to proceed. Please don’t wait until the last minute to write me.
  • Once you have received approval, you can write your formal proposal, which should be at least one page long, stating the reason for choosing your language or dialect, what do you wish to explore and learn from it, and how do you envision conducting your research.

Introduction To Artificial Intelligence (,Python)

This should be worked using Python.  The code will be given and you edit some section and write the report.

There are .zip file and the word files what I attached below. 

.zip file is coded file. You should edit some section following instruction. 

The word file include the instruction for the work and  the form of report. 

Though the word file is 6 pages, the most of content is attached picture and the form of report and well- explained to do easily

You should give me code file as .zip and the report following the form.

After watching the videos below and reading about the Balanced Scorecard in Chapter 12, compare and contrast the Balanced Scorecard to one of the IT frameworks below (COBIT, ITIL, TOGAF, CMMI-Dev). Describe the context in which the Balanced Scorecard and the IT framework would be used. The paper should 3-4 pages in APA format, not counting the title and reference pages. Make sure you include in-text citations. Your paper should cite at least 3 peer-reviewed articles on IT governance frameworks. The rubric for this assignment can be viewed when clicking on the assignment link.

Use the resources below to help you with this week’s assignment.

Read the following chapters in the textbook:

Additional resources:

The following are examples of frameworks related to IT governance. You do not need to read the entire the framework–Use the PDFs below for background material for your research. The PDFs below can be referenced in your paper, but do not count as one of the peer-reviewed articles.

  • COBIT 5 Framework – This PDF describes the COBIT 5 (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies) framework for management of enterprise IT.
  • ITIL V3 – This PDF describes version 3 of the ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) framework for IT service management.
  • TOGAF 9.1 – This PDF introduces The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAP) for systems architecture.
  • CMMI-Dev v1.3 – This PDF describes the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) for systems development.

Access Project

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
 

Using Access, you will create a NEW database, including creating tables, queries, forms, reports, and advanced formatting tools.

Some sample Access ideas include (1) inventory of technology at work,  (2) inventory of your home/possessions for insurance purposes, (3) a  list of all contact information you have on others.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:
 

Our project MUST include the following:

1. Three tables that are linked (a minimum of 10 records per table).
2. Two types of queries.
3. Two types of forms.
4. Two types of reports.
5. Advanced formatting tools.
6. Organized, formatted, and professionally presented Access file, including grammar items (correct spelling, etc.).

Database Course Discussion 2

 

Please see below the discussion in response to the original question asked and respond as a peer using 150 or more words.

Original Question:   As your study in this course draws to a close, it is important to reflect on new levels of understanding, skills, and knowledge that you developed as a result of your efforts throughout this course. It is particularly important to reflect on the course outcomes (what you were intended to learn in this course). 

Peer Response:  

 

When I enrolled in this course I expected to learn about the different components to a database and how I might need to structure it. We covered the database concepts, design, modeling, normalization, and statements. Each module we were able to build on what we learned. This class taught me that a database is a collection of structured information that is accessed, managed, updated, and controlled with a query language(SQL).

I learned that an Entity Relationship Diagram is to show the relationship of entities stored in a database. There are three concepts to an ER Diagram: entities, attributes, and relationships. This step is before creating your ER model which is a must before implementing your database. We do this to eliminate redundant information and make sure that all needed information is supported. I must admit that this concept seems simple but for me I had a hard breaking everything down to eliminate the repeated information. This is still a slight struggle but with a little more practice I can get it. 

Normalization is a technique used to reduce redundancy and reduce the need for insertion, updates, and deletion. There are 3 forms that we covered in this course. 1NF, 2NF, 3NF and each one will build on top of one another. 1NF should have one value and it needs to be unique. 2NF must be in 1NF and the primary key is not functionally dependent on any other key relations. 3NF must be in 2NF and no transitive functional dependencies. This was the biggest struggle I had in the entire course. I had to find visual examples to really get my understanding around this course material. 

SQL Statements was my favorite part of the whole course. The statements we used were basic and straight forward. Statements had keywords like SELECT, FROM, CREATE TABLE, INSERT INTO. The commands told you exactly what you were doing. I think I enjoyed this section so much because I was able to get the visual satisfaction of my data inputs populating in the tables. I have had experience with SQL before but to only pull information that I was looking for, so to actually write it was fun.

Thank you Dr. Kats, your classes challenge me and your feedback is very helpful. I hope to have you in another course!
