Explore and assess a range of social, economic and educational alternatives
Topic: Globalisation, Social Justice and Education (course) Outline and evaluate some of the key features of MOOCs.

Paper details:

Course Description In recent decades, changes in technology, political arrangements, and economic systems have occurred across the globe, and have been much commented on and felt by people everywhere. Many of these changes have been so rapid, radical and far-reaching that they are said to have ushered in a new era of ‘globalisation’. Often presented as inevitable, the transformation of societies under globalisation has been undermined by global financial crises and resisted by a range of political movements. There is considerable debate in this area of study, even over the meaning of globalisation itself. This course seeks to help students gain an understanding of the origins and nature of what has become known as globalisation, and to explore some of its implications for education. We hope you will find it thought provoking, enlightening and enjoyable. Learning Outcomes 1. 2. 3. 4. Class Times Learning Outcomes Consider reforms in New Zealand education in the light of broader international trends. Explore and assess a range of social, economic and educational alternatives

How can you determine what makes a restaurant good/bad?

Paper details:

Either analyze an all-inclusive resort or a social event. The paper must include Introduction: – Employs an interesting method of grabbing the reader’s attention. Think of a concrete example that clearly conveys how the place/event succeeds or fails at meeting your criteria. A quotation, or a brief description of this example, should begin your introductory paragraph. – Share a brief summary of your chosen topic. (What kind of resort are you evaluating? or What happened at the event?) This summary should be no longer than 3-5 sentences. – Transitions to thesis (final 2 sentences of the introduction), which indicates the focus of the essay. The thesis must be a two-part thesis. o Developing a two-part thesis: First, determine the intended purpose of your topic. (What is the purpose of a museum? What makes a good date? How can you determine what makes a restaurant good/bad?) Your statement of these standards (the criteria) is the first part of your thesis. The second part of your thesis is your analysis/evaluation of how well your particular subject achieves the intended purpose. (For example “A restaurant should have impeccable service, offer a variety of good dishes, and cultivate an engaging atmosphere. In spite of its lackluster service, Kitok Restaurant is a great place to eat because of its large array of American and Korean dishes and its eclectic, humble atmosphere.”) Body Paragraphs  These paragraphs should point back to the criteria outlined in your thesis and should be detailed and developed.  Be specific. (Include vivid examples, sensory details, and other specific details drawn from your personal knowledge and experience.)  Make sure each paragraph has a strong, clear topic sentence that is directly related to the content of each paragraph. Each paragraph should have unity, coherence, and completeness. Conclusion Your conclusion should explore the larger significance (answer the “so what?” question).  Why does this matter? Why is this a good/bad resort? Why was this a successful (or unsuccessful) social event or resort? Note: If you decide that your subject is a failure, be sure to list solutions. (What would be a better option?What would make the restaurant or social event work better?) You must satisfy all these requirementhkzs. Must be at least three full pages.
