consider and assess the reasons why the subject is considered to be an important part of the national curriculum, and what purpose its content serves in relation to the opposition between Knowledge and Ideology!

Topic: Critically examine the following subject area in the curriculum: History. Your discussion should cover the history of this subject and original purpose of the subject, as well as its contemporary content and purpose. You should consider and assess the reasons why the subject is considered to be an important part of the national curriculum, and what purpose its content serves in relation to the opposition between Knowledge and Ideology!

Description
The bibliography is in the end of the slides that are uploaded as “HISTORY”. A main source is missing which is a major source of information and its the GOV.UK site for the National Curriculumn for subject History from where important part of the information has to be taken. With the GOV.UK site and the bibliography in the end of the slides the total number of sources is 7. Here are questions to be inserted in the essay: 1. Origins (as a subject of study in the curriculum, as a discipline, or as an area of human endeavor). What was the original purpose of the subject History? Important milestones in the development of the subject and in changes to its purpose. Purpose of the subject in the present national curriculum. Why is the subject considered important? Arguments for the subject being “Knowledge” (i.e. giving children true and adequate knowledge). Argumets for the subject being “Ideology” (i.e. it serves an ideology). My own position in the debate as to whether is knowledge or ideology, in that case for the subject History I think it is both.

Yes Question 2: Would you consider shopping at AMAZON Fresh? 0. No 1. Yes Part two 25% of total marks This part is made out of TWO separate and unconnected case studies. Case study 1: Amazon Fresh The new Amazon Till-Less shop (Amazon Fresh) has just opened in London. It offers a shopping experience without the use of a till for payment. A study with an objective to examine the level of take-up for shopping Till-Less was conducted and has set the following research questions: • RQ1: Is the proportion of people who consider shopping at Amazon Fresh greater than 50%? • RQ2: Is the proportion of people who consider shopping at Amazon Fresh different between those who are comfortable with mobile technology and those who are not? A simple random survey, conducted among shoppers at a traditional food supermarket, used an instrument in which the following two questions are of interest for this study. The dataset for this survey is collated in the SPSS and Jamovi files “Amazon”. Required: For this case study, we are required to produce the following tasks 1. Produce a frequency table for the dependent variable “Take up” and report your findings. [Max: 50 words] 2. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test fully to inform on the RQ1 above. [Max: 50 words] 3. Conduct an appropriate hypothesis test fully to inform on the RQ2 above. [Max: 50 words] 4. General question: Explain clearly and in your own words the reason for conducting a hypothesis test instead of simply comparing sample statistics of RQ2 above. [Max: 100 words] The output for the two tests above is included in the appendix at the end of this brief. You may decide to produce your own output by using the data available to you. You should insert the appropriate output to evidence your reports. The reports should follow the classic research style adopted during the online classes. For full marks, you should clearly state the null and alternative hypotheses for each test. Page | 4 Case study 2: Entrepreneurship intention E. R. Thompson (2009) development an internationally reliable measurement scale for entrepreneurship intention based on the following instrument: Item Statement 1. Very untrue 2. 3. 4. 5. Very true 1 I intend to set up a company in the future 2 I always search for business start-up opportunities 3 I read books on how to set up a firm 4 I have plans to launch my own business 5 I save money to start a business 6 I spend time learning about starting a firm There are two objectives for this study. Objective 1: To test if the average entrepreneurship intention score is different between the two types of students, those who studied for an entrepreneurship module and those who didn’t. Objective 2 To test if the university department they studied at has an effect on the average score for entrepreneurship intention. The instrument above was a given to a random sample of students from London Met. Some of the students have done modules related to entrepreneurship and other did not. These students are indicated by (1=Yes, if they did receive an emtrepreneurship module) and (0=No, if they didn’t). These students were further split by departments (1=GSBL, 2=CDM, and 3=CASS) where they studied. We have only considered these 3 schools. The data is collated in an SPSS and Jamovi file named “Entrepreneurship”. The variable “Intention” is the total score of the six items in the instrument above. Required: For this case study, you are asked to produce the following tasks: 1. Produce the descriptive statistics for the entrepreneurship intention scores split by the two groups of students, those who studied for an entrepreneurship module and those who didn’t and test the normality and the homogeneity of variance assumptions. Report yourfindings. [Max: 50 words] 2. Test if the average scores for entrepreneurship intention are significantly different and report your findings. [Max: 50 words] 3. Test if the university department has an effect on the average score for entrepreneurship intention and report your findings. [Max: 50 words] 4. General question: Explain in your words the concept of the p-value in hypothesis testing, how it is used and what isits limitation. [Max: 100 words] All hypotheses and SPSS or Jamovi output are made available in the appendix. Your reports need to be clearly evidenced by the appropriate output for your work. The reports should follow the classic research style adopted during our online classes and word count does not include the output. For full marks, you should clearly state the hypotheses for each test.

What do you advise these owners to do? Give a special focus on production and costs in this scenario.

Case Study 2: Shark Tank Advice

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to help you practice skills that are essential to success in this course and your professional life after graduation. You will demonstrate how to use the information you have learned in this course to make a business decision.

A manager needs to accurately assess cost structure along with production and demand to determine how to operate. Many times managers do not have complete information when they make decisions.

You will build skills in seeking out relevant choices given the information then formulate a coherent analysis based on researched evidence. This assignment also requires you to clearly communicate in a written format (general education skills: critical thinking, communication, information literacy).

Task

Shark Tank Advice

Pretend you are a Shark Tank advisor. Two business partners have come to you for advice for a business they own and operate. This assignment requires you to create a one-page executive summary (not including backup tables of your analysis) of your advice for this business.

Topic/Question – Read the following scenario then address the recommendation/advice section of this assignment. (This scenario is a real-life situation where a neighborhood industry requested advice from a College Economics professor.)

A Boutique Fitness Facility aka affectionately self-referred to as ‘Two Idiots with Bikes’

Tired of hiring themselves out and abiding by corporate rules and various personality issues with management of fitness facilities, two fully certified personal trainers opened a fitness facility. Each trainer was certified in indoor cycle (aka Spinning), personal training, strength, high-intensity training, and TRX. The facility was housed in the finished basement of one owner’s personal residence. They invested $3000 that covers startup equipment costs. Startup equipment included spin bikes, fans, weights, step benches, and mats. Over time they upgraded the spin bikes and added more features such as resistance bands, ropes, TRX equipment, kettlebells and other items for approximately $1000. Based on periodic feedback from clientele, they added some yoga classes and another instructor to teach additional spin classes. The owners taught 90% of the classes themselves and did not take a salary from the business. The yoga classes fully funded the yoga instructor. The additional spin instructor cost approximately $150/month. Costs included $500 monthly for insurance, $200 monthly for utilities, $80 for music licensing. Clientele paid $10 per class unless they purchased a package of 20 classes for $85 or 10 classes for $65. They ran approximately 26 classes a week. Unless there were 2 clients in a class, the class was cancelled. The business averaged 4 clients per class and averaged cancelling 3 classes per week. They also had personal training clients who paid 20 per session. The business averaged 8 personal training sessions per week. Tax rate is 20%. Depreciation on the equipment is 20% a year. Efficiency of the business is compromised from time to time based on clientele – since this is a boutique business that runs classes of 5-6 individuals, personalities and drama sometimes require the business owner’s significant management time in the form of communications with clientele.

Between the two of them, they could earn $800/month by contracting themselves out to other facilities. Additionally, without the business, the trainers could conduct personal training sessions in the basement facility using the equipment they already have and would incur insurance costs of $60/month, no music licensing fees and $100 utilities.

Recommendation/Advice – What do you advise these owners to do? Give a special focus on production and costs in this scenario. You are also encouraged to include academic and business research as well as data to reinforce your advice.

As a result of this specific experience, what can you conclude more generally about yourself and your career planning journey?

Description
Details of the event: In the UK, 16% of all academic staff with a known ethnicity are Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME), only 10% are Professors and fewer than 1% of Professors are Black. BAME students represent just 17% of UK based postgrad research students*. If you’re considering a career as an academic, or thinking about applying for a research PG qualification come along to this session and hear from our panel of academics, across different disciplines, talk about how they’ve broken the glass ceiling and learn their top tips for success. Please note: consider the following things when you write the reflection: Tips for writing the reflective statements: The reflective statements should not simply describe what you did/heard when you attended the event/workshop/session, they should focus mainly on the outcomes of these and demonstrate your reflective critical thinking afterwards. The most effective way of doing this is by using the experiential learning cycle, which should include: • Description: very brief and concise description of the activity being reflected on (the title of the session will likely suffice) • Reflection: e.g. How well did it go? What were your thoughts and feelings at the time? What have you achieved? Did you experience any problems in relation to the activity? Did you discuss them with anyone? What was good about the experience, what was bad? What was difficult, what was easy? Why (for all of the above)? • Generalisation: e.g. What have you learnt from the activity/experience? As a result of this specific experience, what can you conclude more generally about yourself and your career planning journey? Why does it matter? • Future: If you repeat the activity/experience (or a similar one) tomorrow/next week/next year…what would you do? Is there anything you would do differently? Would you change your future behaviours as a result of this experience? Why and how (for all of the above)? n.b. it is not necessary to include the above subheadings in your text. The above are prompts only. Within the word count allowed you cannot explore all these questions so choose the most significant aspects for you to explore.
