What’s Your Risk Type?

Module 2 Assignment – What’s Your Risk Type?
Let’s say that you’re not a broke collage graduate student (sigh…), and that you happen to have $15,000 just hanging around, burning a hole in your pocket. So yes, very hypothetical here!
Are you risk adverse, or risk seeking? What do you think? To answer this question, please download and complete the attached Risk Tolerance quiz, created by a professor from BYU. When finished, grade your results per the attachment’s instructions and then also answer the following questions:
1. Based on the overall results, are you a risk seeker, risk neutral, or risk adverse? Why?
2. Discuss if you agree or disagree with the survey’s results and overall category in which you were placed. Do you agree with this finding? Why, or why not?
3. If you were to respond to this survey again, only this time without the $15,000 having been automatically given to you to invest, would your response be any different, now being required to use your hard-earned money as the initial principle investment?
4. How does this exercise apply to your future role as a healthcare administrator? In what way can you use this exercise to influence (or not influence) your decisions as an organizational leader?
5. Finally, apply this lesson on risk to any healthcare organization’s action in the news. For instance, have any healthcare organizations (noticed in your workplace, on TV, located on the internet) demonstrated risk aversion, risk seeking, or risk neutral behaviors? Was this a good idea (in your opinion) considering the situation?
Animal Protection Law and Climate Change
Paper should include an introduction, literature review including the gaps in the literature, and the scholarly importance of the subject.
Competition and Regulation in EU Healthcare Markets
What I should do is write an essay answering this question in 4500 words (I need to get a distinction):
‘Medical devices fulfil comparable functions and create comparable risks to human health as pharmaceuticals. It is incomprehensible that they should not be subject to a comparable system of marketing authorisation.’ Identify what are, in your view, the most significant differences between the system for placing medical devices on the market and that for medicinal products and discuss whether you agree that a common approach should be adopted for both categories of products.
What I am asking you to do is providing me with:
– Help with the structure of my essay, i.e. titles and contents for each paragraph. This should contain ALL the relevant issues and should be something on which I can elaborate to do a detailed essay;
– Sources through which I can elaborate on each point;
All the above mentioned should amount to 6 pages, which is what I am paying for. I am attaching to the present message:
1. Outline of the TWO lectures and TWO seminars that tackled the topic of my essay. There you can find SOME of the relevant bibliography. If you have no access to those reading materials on any platform, I can see if I can find some of them somewhere, so feel free to contact me;
2. Power point presentation on the lectures, that you might find helpful.
Anyway, the content of the essay should NOT be exclusively based on this. Moreover, the question of the essay could lead one to include medical data on risks and so on, but this is a law essay, so that some medical data are ok, but only to the extent needed for my legal arguments.
My paper will be checked to see if there is plagiarism, so that I need it to be NOT PLAGIARISED.

Do Research
Find at least three (3) credible sources to include in your podcast.
Plan how your will incorporate and use these sources to support your ideas and to provide evidence. You will use quotations, statistics, and other salient information from these sources in your podcast.
*Important: Use the CRAAP Test (The CRAAP Test – Evaluating Sources – Research Guides at Benedictine University Library) to help you choose academic sources that are appropriate for the rhetorical situation.
Draft a Script
Beginning: Begin the script with the title and date of the podcast. Introduce the topic and the speakers in an inviting and engaging way.
Main Points: State, support, and persuade your audience. Use sources you find on the internet to support your opinions. Include a reference to the source within the sentence. Use signal phrases to introduce a reference to the article. (For more tips on incorporating quotes, see UNC’s webpage on Quotations.)
Ending: End creatively.
Format the Script
Format the text of your script like the one you looked at for the podcast “The Haunting Effects of Going Days Without Sleep.”
Sources: Add a Works Cited list at the end of your script. Include citations for all sources, including the sound bytes.
Sound: Find 2-3 sound bytes for your podcast. Choose sounds that are NOT copyrighted. See this Creative Commons web page of Image, Video and Audio Resources that includes a long list of suggested sound websites. Scroll down the page to the Audio Resources section. Indicate where each sound byte will be in the script. Use parentheses to show the sound location and include a description of the sound, for example (Soundbite of Applause).
Proofread: Re-read your script out loud to catch errors. Make corrections as you read. Time yourself to see if it is 3-5 minutes.
Submit your written podcast script as a Word document or Google doc. (In the next assignment, you will record your podcast and submit an audio file.)

Hohokam Writing assignment
This assignment focuses on an article you read climate and migrations: Ingram, Scott E. and
Karen Gust Schollmeyer (2021) Understanding Past Climate-Related Migration for Our Warming
World. Kiva 87(2):220-252. It was written by archaeologists for archaeologists, and thus is from
the professional literature. You can find the a link to the PDF on the page “Week 2 Lectures,
Readings and Other Work.”
The article draws on findings from both the Hohokam and Mimbres regions. For this writeup
assignment, please focus on the Hohokam part (as well as the overall and general arguments).
We will return to Mimbres part of the article later.
Read the article, perhaps twice, following the suggestions in the “concept” section above.
Then prepare a 250-400 word write-up of the article, following the guidelines below. See the
example for further guidance.
(1) The complete bibliographic citation for the article. You can just copy this from the paragraph
above (blue).
(2) A statement summarizing the basic argument made by the authors. Put some time into
thinking about this. It’s not always easy to identify the argument.
(3) A description of the Hohokam data and/or analyses used by the authors along with an
explanation of how they support the argument. Focus on how the evidence presented in the
article – not the background information it summarizes – relates to the argument being made
General Guidelines
These write-ups should be carefully written and logically presented, using complete grammatical
sentences. They should be carefully proofread and spell-checked. They must be typed.
Hints
-Follow the directions and look at the example.
-You can refer to the authors of the article as “Ingram and Schollmeyer.”
-Make sure you understand the argument of the article.
-Separate the argument from the evidence.
-You do not have to use the structure suggested above (parts 2&3). However, if you are worried
about what is expected, it is a good idea to use it.
-Use spellcheck and proofread your paper carefully. Read it out loud and you will probably catch
errors you would not otherwise find.
Bayeux Tapestry Analysis Paper
write an assessment of 1200-1600 words on the primary sources they plan to use for their research paper. The number of sources may vary depending on the topic (i.e. a close review of a single large source or a wide-ranging analysis of many small sources) but you will need to demonstrate you have enough source material to use for your paper. You may begin with sources from the class reader but will need to do additional research for sources to use related to your paper topic.ONLY SOURCE IS HERE https://photos.app.goo.gl/p5xJJjpX6A3A4xQC6
