Their experiment is to inoculate soy milk with dairy yogurt and incubate it overnight to see if it creates yogurt. Which of the following would be a good positive control treatment?

WRITING PROMPT: Students will write a four-paragraph essay that reacts either to Stephen King’s essay, “Reading to Write” or to Frederick Douglass’s essay, “Learning to Read and Write.” The thesis should state an overall one-word or one-phrase reaction plus two reasons for it Example: King’s argument is insightful because he [something King does] and [something else King does]. Remember that the quotes I’ve provided in the stimulus are all that you can use to support the thesis, so your thesis must make a claim and reasons for it that relate clearly to the material in the quotations at the bottom of these instructions.  The body paragraphs (there are only two in this essay) will use PIETIE (Point, Illustrate, Explain, Transition, Illustrate, Explain) to support one of the reasons from the thesis for the one-word or one-phrase reaction INTRODUCTION: [Word Count: 150-200 words total, including the summary that you write outside of Honorlock] NOTE: Students are permitted to pre-write or post-write their summary. You do not need to include it in the introduction paragraph here in Honorlock. However, you MUST add it to the introduction paragraph once you copy/paste from Honorlock to your document for final submission!  NOTE: Do not quote in the introduction paragraph. The summary should use your own words. This paragraph differs from a traditional introduction in a few ways, so follow the requirements here carefully:   The first sentence should introduce the author and title of the essay you’re writing about. Provide more context as needed: When was the essay originally published? What is the author’s purpose? Who is the author’s intended audience?   [SUMMARY: WRITTEN OUTSIDE OF HONORLOCK]: The next three to five sentences should contain your summary of the work you’re analyzing. You are writing this summary outside of Honorlock, not here. The summary should include the main idea, its key supporting points, and an overview of the kinds of details, examples, or evidence given to support his points. The summary should touch on all major aspects of the text, but not the specific details. The last sentence of the summary should include an MLA in-text citation with the page range of the work in parentheses. Remember that the period goes directly after the in-text citation, not directly after the last word of the summary.  The last sentence of the intro should clearly state the essay’s thesis, which is a supportable reaction to (overall objective impression of) the work. Possible choices include, but are not limited to, “humorous, thoughtful, engaging, persuasive, captivating, inspiring, motivational, useful, helpful, direct, etc…”. Example: Douglass’s narrative about his fight to achieve literacy is inspiring because it shows [something inspiring the narrative shows] and [something else inspiring the narrative shows.] NOTE: The reasons in the thesis should not point directly to examples from the text. They should articulate a broad move the essay makes. In the body paragraphs, you will support your big-picture reasons using specific examples from the text. Example: One compelling [“compelling” = a one-word reaction] aspect of Smith’s article is her analysis of artistic creativity as a function of problem solving.  The above sentence is general. In the body paragraph, the reader will expect an analysis of examples Smith compellingly analyzing specific artistic works that represent a solution to an artistic problem. [NOTE: It is entirely possible that because you are not writing the summary in Honorlock, your Honorlock introduction contains only that first sentence as described above, a connecting sentence from your summary to your thesis, and the thesis sentence. This is normal. When you copy/paste your introduction into the document you format, proofread, and submit to Turnitin; you must add the summary that you’ve written outside of Honorlock to the introduction paragraph (after the first sentence of your introduction). Make sure that when you add the material, you fix the line spacing for MLA so that everything is double-spaced and there are no line spacing or other formatting errors.]

Scenario:  Your company processes and delivers orders for supplies for its business customers. Your company’s policy and promise to customers is to ship out orders the next business day, and the company is set up to do this reliably. However, one day you receive a phone call from a regular business customer that is asking for special handling of a new order being placed — asking that the order be shipped out same-day today instead of next-day. 1) First, list and briefly explain the two basic approaches suggested by the Gap Model of Quality. 2) Is it advisable to simply say “yes, will do” and ship out the order same-day as requested? Explain and discuss the options and implications from the perspective of the Gap Model and its two basic approaches.
