For this week, I want you to analyse Olaudah Equiano’s narrative using the readings and the class material (the lecture, the youtube video and the podcast) to answer some of these questions. Here are some specific questions to guide you:

1. Who is the author? What is his background? Give me a short summary of the narrative (no more than 6-8 sentences). When was the narrative written?

2. What does the timeline of the publication of this narrative tell us about who it was addressed to? Who is the intended audience? What is the author’s goal in writing this narrative?

3. What can we learn about various forms of slavery from this narrative? How is chattel slavery in the Atlantic different from other forms of slavery that already existed? How does Olaudah Equiano’s experience reflect these differences? Please use specific examples and cite from his narrative.

4. What are some of the justifications that Europeans had for chattel slavery? What were some of the historical circumstances that led to the rise of this form of slavery (e.g., economic, religious)?

5. What are some of the effects of chattel slavery during the 15th-17th century in the Americas and Africa? What are related effects that we can see in the world today?

The above are a few detailed questions to get you started. Feel free to add anything you find in the narrative to interpret how we think about history and the Atlantic slave trade.

Assessment Instructions

In this assessment you will complete a program to demonstrate the learning competency skills for your selected language path.

Using the language C#, please complete the following assessment:

In this hypothetical scenario, you will create a program that will allow a student to register for certification classes in HVAC. The school offers a $150 discount if the student signs up for twenty or more unit-hours. Students may also pay the tuition costs over a twelve-month period.

Assessment Requirements

Your program should declare variables using the appropriate data types to store the following string values.

Name: John Smith

Address: 101 N. Main Street

City: AnyTown

State: TX

Units Taken: 19

For the price per unit, declare a constant numeric variable to contain the decimal value 100.50.

For the twenty unit-hour discount, declare a constant numeric variable to contain the whole number 150.

Convert the string value for Units Taken to an integer data type andplace the converted numeric value into a separate numeric variable.

Hint: Use the same name but add the prefix int such as intUnitsTaken.

Using the increment operator, increment the variable above by 1 so that the value 19 will now be 20.

Multiply the constant variable for price per unit by the units taken and place the answer in a variable named tuition.

Subtract the constant discount value from tuition and store the answer in a variable named afterDiscount.

Divide the discounted tuition by 12 and store the answer in a variable named monthlyPayment.

Finally, your program will display the following data using the respective variables for each item:

Name

Address

City

State

Zip Code

Number of units taken (numeric value that was incremented)

Tuition before discount

Tuition after discount

Monthly Payment

Include labels for each item as shown in expected output. Format the tuition values and monthly payment as currency.

EXPECTED OUTPUT

Name: John Smith

Address: 101 N. Main Street

City: Anytown

State: TX

Zip Code: 11111

The number of units taken is: 20

The tuition before discount is $2,010.00

The tuition after twenty-unit discount is $1,860.00

Your monthly payment is $155.00
Directions for Submitting Your Assessment

The source code file is the file in your project that contains the code you wrote. You will only need to submit the source code file for your program and not the entire project folder or any additional project files. Below are listed the file extensions for the source code file for each language:

.cs file for C#

Naming Your Project and Source Code File

While you can change your file name later, it will be simpler with less chance of confusion if you name your new project and code file with the following naming convention when you create it. The code file(s) should be saved as: IT213M1_YourLastName_Language. The source code file and the project name can be the same.
