using nanotechnology for new drug discovery

explore the following technical issue, using nanotechnology for new drug discovery, and create short articles, approximately 750 to 1,000 words each, about them. These short articles will include information about the new technology (you will have to determine which new technology to use), and who the movers and shakers are in the field (companies, research organizations, universities, etc.)

You’ll remember that the general project for this term involves creating an implementation plan for the new TUI learning management system, Desire2learn (D2L). You’ve already had the opportunity to review some project management software; now you’ll have the opportunity to begin to put together an actual plan using it.
•    For this module, you should think about the people involved in your implementation process.  These might include personnel from the vendor, along with University IT staff, administrators, faculty, other staff, and possibly students as well. Who is going to be needed, to do what, when?
•    Use your software to incorporate staffing into your project plan; allocate and distribute your personnel resources as you think they will be needed. If you need to make specific assumptions about people or their availability, don’t hesitate to do so as long as you keep a record of such assumptions and make them explicit in your write-up.  Don’t hesitate to contact your professor if you have questions or want to clarify any particular points.
•    Finally, prepare a brief (2-3 page) report summarizing your activities regarding the previous two steps — personnel definition and plan design. Attach your plan report either as a component of the document (not counted against the page requirement) or submit it separately to CourseNet as an additional document. Be as personal and reflective as you can; remember, your aim is to describe what you learned from this process and how it might affect your behavior and your career

information architecture tutorial at Webmonkey.com

For Module 3, you are to continue to work with the information architecture tutorial at Webmonkey.com.  read through Lesson 3 [2], and follow its steps for creating chapter 3 of your design document:
•    Identify Content and Functional Requirements
•    Group and Label Content
This part of the tutorial concludes:
“Create a new chapter in your design document called Content and Functional Requirements. Include a summary of the content inventory. Add a section about how the content is grouped and named. Add the list of functional requirements with a summary, if you like. The content inventory should be included as an appendix to the design document. Remember to publish these results so that everyone can see them.”
Your “publication” consists of submitting your “results” in report form as your SLP 3 assignment.

SLP Assignment Expectations
LENGTH: 2-3 pages typed and double-spaced
The following items will be assessed in particular:
•    The degree to which you have carried out the assignment completely, or clarified why you could not and investigated alternatives

pros and cons of the current Alcon application management

For this module, we’ll be continuing to use the Alcan case introduced in module 2. This time, you will be focusing on the parts of the analysis dealing with applications and applications management. However, you will need to draw upon both your previous review of hardware issues and on the general background material relating to the company that you used previously. It’s probably an excellent idea to go back over all the case before you start investigating software applications issues in detail. Undoubtedly, there are points raised earlier in the case relevant to your current analysis that you may not have noted earlier, but which will become more evident as you proceed with your analysis.

Case Assignment:
Please read the Alcon case again as it will be important to consider different and addition al information from the case in completing this modules assignment.  The case references are listed below.

cause and effect essay discussing a historical event

Option #1
Write a cause and effect essay discussing a historical event. Be sure to focus on either the cause or the effect of the event. Also, try to focus your paper on a specific event. For example, instead of writing about the Second World War, you should focus on a moment in that war, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor. Remember to be specific and detailed in your writing. Some things you might want to think about:
• What was the causal chain that led to the event?
• What were the ramifications of the event? How is the world different because of it?

Option #2
Write a comparison-contrast essay discussing the differences between two famous historical figures. Focus on specific similarities and differences. Feel free to use specific examples from different spheres of influences, like music, film or literature, but be sure that they are analogous. Some things you might want to think about:
• What are the backgrounds of the individuals?
• Where are they from?
• Discuss their achievements and accolades.
• What is the public perception of these people?
Objectives:
• Students will practice different types of invention strategies.
• Students will appeal to the emotions of their audience in their own essays.

Work Based-Learning

Order Description

Learning Diary (1000 words)
A Learning Diary is a means of tracking your development, with an emphasis on unstructured informal activities. The main idea is that from writing up what we consider to be significant work based learning experiences that occur in the form of everyday incidents, the likelihood of actually doing things better in the future will be increased. In this way learning ceases to be a haphazard and accidental process and becomes more structured, reflective and conscious.
Reflective Essay (2000 words)
On completion of the placement and the journal, a written report (2000 words) should be completed which provides a critical evaluation of the work experience. The report should include a description of the placement and provide evidence of reference to relevant texts, journal and research
The reassessment task is the same as the assessment task for this module. Students who have previously submitted work may resubmit the learning diary and appendices with or without amendments, but the reflective essay must be substantively different to any work previously submitted.
