Write a five to six-page essay on the following topic: Why does a full understanding of our world require the humanities in addition to the sciences? Illustrate your discussion with reference to two specific primary texts assigned in this class, and explain what we can learn from those texts that goes beyond science. Choose two complementary texts that can be read as part of a conversation (i.e., one of the texts can be read as a response to questions raised by the other). You should refer to at least two secondary sources, but note that this is not a research paper. You should be able to complete the paper drawing only from the Required and Recommended Resources included in this course. (See the Week 1 Citing Sources tab for information on how to cite sources in this class.)

Your paper should be outlined as follows:

In your introduction, include a clear definition of the humanities, including how they differ from the sciences, and a concise summary of how a humanistic understanding can sometimes go beyond a scientific one. (No more than one page.)
In your next paragraph, explain the conversation that you will use to illustrate your claim about the humanities’ ability to contribute to our understanding. State which two texts you will use and summarize how one of them can be read as a response to a question raised by the other one. (No more than one page.)
Give a detailed interpretation of your chosen texts, focusing primarily on those texts’ contribution to our understanding of the specific question you selected. You may need to summarize some aspects of your chosen texts before trying to explain their meaning, but your discussion should be primarily analysis rather than mere summary. In other words, explain the contribution of the texts to human understanding, not just what the texts say or what happens in their plots. (No more than three pages.)
In conclusion, summarize how the insights of your chosen texts show that the humanities can go beyond science as you stated in your introduction and reiterate why the insights of the humanities are necessary to have a full understanding of our world. (No more than one page.)

Sample Solution

The post Why a full understanding of our world requires the humanities in addition to the sciences appeared first on homework handlers.

Scenario
Your manager has informed you that there are several clients that require some one-to-one training in some aspects of computers. The users have recently been employed by some of your clients and they are engaging your company to do some digital literacy training. 
Your company has been asked to provide one-to-one training, but are required to also offer the training online.  You have been asked to create a training program for clients to cover off aspects of general digital literacy for these new employees.
You know there are some good resources on the internet that are provided free of cost.  You need to locate some reputable ones that cover digital literacy.
Three of the clients have completed a survey on what they already know, you need to consider this when you create the training plan and recognise which users will need to complete the appropriate sections of the training.
The clients are using Windows 7 and Office 2010 at the desktop and using Outlook for email.
Your tasks are to
1.    Create a training/learning plan, outline, for one to one instruction and online learning
2.    Determine resources required for the training
3.    Create a client e-learning guide, for each of the three clients outlining what they are required to do for their personal learning
4.    Detail an assessment plan on how you will assess these new skills
5.    Create a client feedback form
6.    Create a sign off form for the clients manager to sign off that they are happy with your plan

Please submit these documents.
Note
Your training plan should resemble one that is of industry standard, so do some research on this.
