...* 1. What are two or three of the most important concepts you have learned about academic writing for graduate students? The concepts I learned in writing are practicing better writing habits, by skill. I was able to improve upon my use of commas, drafting complete sentences, avoiding sentence fragments and ensuring drafted essays are in compliance with APA guidelines. I was also able to draft better writing essays by using critique methods. Synthesis essays seem to relate to multiple articles on the same topic. Relating multiple topics have the ability to relate information in a argumentative or informational manner. Difference approaches can be taken in order relay important information and build facts upon discussion topics. 2. What advice for success would you give to a student who was considering taking this class? The advice I would give for success to students is to prepare and familiarize yourself with the information being presented. This could be taking a week or two before the course starts to read over the materials and review the topics and understand the depth of the information. This will give students a successful head start into the program and help them understand the information better, more smoother and faster. 3. Please share any other thoughts that come to mind. This has been a really great and informative course. A lot of my writing was drafted in hopes that it was, or might be corrector great writing. With this class, I was about to put everything...

...Step 1 Create a list of important employee policies for your business. Get help when actually writing your employee handbook. Write drafts of policies or ideas for policies that are important to the way you want to run your business. For example, you may have a certain code of conduct that you want employees to follow or you may wish to draft a policy to ensure that a particular person or department is not overstepped. The U.S. Small Business Administration advises that you should have basic employee policies regarding wages, discrimination and other important issues. Consult the administration and an attorney when drafting policy to ensure it is legal and serves your purpose. Step 2 Write policies in clear, easy-to-understand language. Include definitions where words may have multiple meanings and avoid using words that may be easily misconstrued. For example, the Nonprofit Risk Management Center advises against ever using the term "permanent employee," as it suggests that an employee cannot be fired. Consult your attorney about any other easily misinterpreted words. Related Reading: Employee Drug Policy Step 3 Clearly communicate your policy to your employees and their supervisors. Hold training session during which you explain policies and solicit questions. Address "what-if" questions. For example, if your office has a policy for anonymously reporting sexual harassment, answer the question, "What if I am feeling harassed, but I don't want anyone to know...

...technology. CAD Technology stands for Computer Aided Deign It uses technology that allows the user to draft and design a 2D or 3D object, and enables him to get a glimpse of how that object will relatively look like once it is produced in reality CAD is very economical and environment friendly since its output comes in electronic form Since CAD is an innovative technique, it brings a lot of engineering saving to the company, especially if we compare it against the traditional drafting techniques. First, in terms of quality. Under accuracy, traditional drafting may lead to errors because of human fault. The designer might miscalculate the specifications of the design. For instatance, drawing a convex instead of a concave or drawing a 5 cm straight line instead of a 4 cm one. With CAD, there is a feature that allows an “error check” which ensures that all the specifications in the design are correct before completing it or printing it for approval. Under workforce, since drafting by hand is a long and tedious process, you need many men to complete a design. Training these men may be expensive. Also, you need specialists who have steady hands and are good artists for special projects. With CAD, the technology is easy to learn, hence the employees can be quickly deployed in the work area. Because the design time is much easier and shorter, the teams will be lean. Lastly, because the employees are trained and flexible, the services of a specialist will only be...

It is understood that all group members have different schedules, however attendance is mandatory to assigned meetings during the date and times announced by the Coordinator. (Kenneth).

...Johnathan Smith Seth Maggio Negotiation Exercise – Player’s Representative As agents of LSU’s football star running back Chris Thomas, we began the negotiation process with the attorneys representing the Indianapolis Colts which is a key component of being an agent along with advocating and marketing as stated in chapter 1. The Colts drafted Thomas in the 2nd pick of the 2nd round; (5th overall running back.) Thomas urged us to close a deal by Friday before he leaves on a hunting trip, but could possibly wait until the following Tuesday. His grandmother who raised him has just been diagnosed with dementia and is looking to put her in a highly exclusive C’est La Vie Assisted Living Facility to care for her while he is away. With that being said, our leverage has weakened a bit due to the importance of coming to an agreement, and he is willing to take anything above $1,200,000 and a two year deal. Which averages out to $600,000 a year. However, as being Chris Thomas fiduciary we had a duty of good faith, loyalty, accounting, and care for him. With this being said we were determined to get Thomas and his grandmother the best situation we possibly could. Prior to the negotiation we researched a lot of past second round picked running backs. Some of these running backs were Stevan Ridley, Willis Mcgahee, Montee Ball, Eddie Lacy, Giovani Bernard, Isiah Peas, and Leveon Bell. All of these second round picks had similar contracts in the ball park of 4 million which was our starting...

...requirement is essential to becoming an effective advocate. As in many law schools' writing courses, students learn the basics for formulating, writing, and defending a legal argument — research, jurisdiction, use of authority, standards of review, and effective methods for completing written legal analysis. II. Distinguishing Features. Legal writing places heavy reliance on authority. In most legal writing, the writer must back up assertions and statements with citations to authority. This is accomplished by a unique and complicated citation system, unlike that used in any other genre of writing. Legal writing values precedent, as distinct from authority. Precedent means the way things have been done before. For example, a lawyer who must prepare a contract and who has prepared a similar contract before will often re-use, with limited changes, the old contract for the new occasion. Or a lawyer who has filed a successful motion to dismiss a lawsuit may use the same or a very similar form of motion again in another case, and so on. Many lawyers use and re-use written documents in this way and call these re-usable documents templates or, less commonly, forms. Legal writing extensively uses technical terminology that can be categorized in four categories: a. Specialized words and phrases unique to law, e.g., tort, fee simple, and novation. b. Quotidian words having different meanings in law, e.g., action (lawsuit), consideration (support for a promise), execute...

...LOOKING FOR THE LAW IN 21ST CENTURY IS MORE EASIER THAN IN THE PAST Looking for the Law has certainly become easier in the 21st Century due to availability of numerous and accessible tools now. Drafting Law in the past was cumbersome as it took long for the Law on civil procedure and criminal procedure or the broad basis on which the principal lines of it’s construction would be settled before it was to be finally elaborated and enacted. During colonial period the principal judge, R W Hamilton undertook the drafting work both on civil and criminal procedure, but he purposely restrained from talking or asking the government to take steps with Iterance to an enactment of civil procedure so that it might not interfere with the production of the enactment on criminal procedure which he considered to be the most important of the two. In august 1908 the drafting of he criminal procedure ordinance began. The draft of the first local criminal procedure ordinance was completed in December 1908 and in January 1909 it was sent to the Crown Advocates office for consideration by the government. Thereafter every effort by the principal Judge to get the work pushed forward was made without much success. The draft led to wait until 1913 when the ordinance was enacted, taking into account the fact that the preparation of a code on criminal procedure had been directed in 1985, the completion of ordinance in 1913 was already long-over-due; Judge Hamilton had intended to have the state of the...

...Training of Barristers: Training for Barristers is laid down and governed by the Bar’s professional body, the Bar Council. Students with a Law degree have to pass the Bar Vocational Course (‘BVC’) and Complete a 1 year Pupillage with a set of barristers. Students without a Law degree can do a 1-year Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) and then go onto the BVC followed by Pupillage. There is a non-graduate route for mature students, under which a small number of students qualify by passing a 2-year GDL followed by Pupillage. All student barristers must join one of the four Inns of Court before taking the BVC. Students used to have to dine there 12 times before being called to the Bar, but now they can ‘attend’ by e.g. completing a weekend residential course. The Inns provide law libraries and advocacy training, award scholarships and organise lectures and ‘moots’. The BVC emphasises the practical skills of drafting pleadings for use in court, negotiation and advocacy. Students study core subjects e.g. litigation, evidence etc. as well as skills such as drafting pleadings and negotiation. When they have passed the BVC, students are ‘called to the Bar’ i.e. officially qualified, but cannot practice as independent barristers until they have done a pupillage. Pupillage is ‘on the job’ training where the trainee barrister becomes a pupil to a qualified barrister while being paid a small salary. It is usually carried out at the independent Bar at a set of barristers’ chambers. This...
