...skills, so that as students do their research, they are more open to various problems and perspectives and more able to connect what they learn to their personal experiences and knowledge; invention also helps writers or speakers narrow a topic, clarify a thesis, develop ideas, or find arguments. In addition, once some preliminary reading or drafting is done, invention techniques can help he writer or speaker to refocus. Finally, these techniques are helpful for students who are blocked. Not all invention techniques are suited to all communication tasks. Encourage students to experiment with these strategies to find out which work for them. Clustering For those who need a visual picture of their ideas, clustering (also called visualizing) is a helpful method of invention. Clustering can be done as a part of brainstorming groups (see below) or by students working alone. What follows is a procedure for clustering to provide to students: 1. Write a word related to the topic in the middle of a page and circle it. 2. Think of other words that come to mind when you think of the word. Let your mind be playful. Don’t judge or evaluate; just let the words flow. 3. As you write other words, circle them. 4. If you draw a blank thinking of more words, draw lines between the words you have written that are similar and draw arrows when one word leads to another. 5. Don’t think or analyze too long about any word or connection. 6. Continue this activity from two to five...

...Project For this project you need to make groups of 3-6 people and choose one of the following topics. Most of these topics require you to write a short paper and present it in class (20 points). For those you have the option to just submit a paper and not present for only 10 points. A list of topics: 1. Linear Programming 2. Approximation Algorithms 3. Max-Flow Min-Cut 4. Cryptography: Asymmetric Encryption 5. Complexity Theory 6. Programming Project: Implementing Algorithms, Comparing Running times (10 points, no presentation) For some topics you can find information in the course textbooks (and other textbooks). For the rest, you must research on your own - but I am willing to give suggestions if I have any. You may suggest another topic as well, but I need to approve it. Requirements Each paper is expected to be 3-5 pages long (single-spaced and at 11pt) and it should include references to your sources (which should be more than just Wikipedia). As long as the paper is complete and well-written, the length requirements should not be too important. However, more than 5 pages would be an overkill and less than 3 might not let you give the necessary information and explanations. As for the actual contents of the paper, you should address your classmates, who will receive a copy of the paper in class and before your presentation. You should explain the topic you have selected and give an appropriate 1 2 example. The specifics may differ depending on the actual topic. For example...

...Introduction: Throughout the course and the topics we have learned and discussed, we realize that the importance of being an inspiration to nonbelievers. There are many factors that can help influence one’s mind and bring the non-believers to know Christ. In this paper, I am going to share the importance of three topics that I feel are most important in bringing others to know our lord and savior. The three topics I will be alliterating today are: why personal testimonies are so important in sharing the gospel. Another topic I will discuss is as a Christian, The importance of how he or she lives her life. Also I will be discussing the importance of local churches sharing god’s love to the community and how they can improve on this issue. Topic One: Why are personal testimonies important in sharing the gospel? Personal testimonies are important in sharing the gospel because every individual is a unique person in god’s eyes. Everyone has a different story to tell and in your story, Jesus’s name is lifted and exalted. While giving your personal testimony, it is important to speak to the individual as a person and not talk down to them as if you are better than the person or judging them because your beliefs. The bible says in Romans 2:1 “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself: for thou that judgest doest the same things” (King James Version). We as Christians do not have the right to judge others...

...Women are not equal to Men in our Society Religions Opening statement. I would like to welcome everyone to our topic of discussion today which is: Women are not equal to men in our society. As a captain and leader for this group, I understood that this does not only affect women but men as well. We live in a society today where women are underestimated; socially, physically or intellectually. There is a constant war against discrimination and sexism but it has seemed to fail many times. When it comes to women in our society, they are underpaid, left to pay more for something men pay less for and simply told to follow what a man does. My group and I strongly believe that women are not equal to men in our society. Concerning this topic, we will be covering many aspects in which we believe women are discriminated against or that sexist stereotypes are present. I, Diosa, the captain for this team will be covering the religion aspect, Beatrice will be covering careers and jobs, Bryce will be covering politics and Tyrus will be covering extra judicial cases. Within this debate you will see that we are prone to accepting things blindly from the areas that we will speak out about. As we continue to debate the topic of discussion with the opposite group, it will be certain that we have and will provide enough evidence to prove that women are not equal to men in society. As a civilized and well organized country, we believe it is every individual’s duty to maintain equality and...

This polynomial is of nth degree. Far-Left and Far-Right Behavior The behavior of the graph of a polynomial function as x becomes very large or very small is referred to as the end behavior of the graph. The leading term of a polynomial function determines its end behavior. x becomes very large x → ∞ x becomes very large x → ∞ x becomes very small -∞ ← x x becomes very small -∞ ← x We can summarize the end behavior as follows: The Leading-Term Test If is the leading term of a polynomial, then the behavior of the graph as x → ∞ or as x → −∞ can be described in one of the four following ways.

...Topic #1 Think back to a recent communication in your organization that did NOT go over well. Based on the reading, explain whether it was the message or the medium that was the issue. Use examples from the book to support your argument. I had a situation with my supervisor that relayed a message through email and the message was not the best way to communicate a job that needed to be done. “Learning to write effectively involves, reading, writing, critical thinking, and hard work. (Business Communication for Success, 2012). The message didn’t rely when the job was due. The paperwork was not attached, instead he never gave me the paperwork so I was lost. When I confronted him with this problem he assumed that I already knew what to do. I went into his office to let him know that instead of sending me an email, he should have spoken to me face to face and I can clearly know what I am doing. If I has any questions to ask him I would have been able to have asked him right there and then. I do not mind sending messages through emails, but sometimes you do not look at your emails every second of the day. I did explain why I thought for future jobs that need critical attention it should be a face-to-face discussion. References Business Communication for Success (2012).
