Prepare a case study in which you analyse four key aspects of the social experience of members of a selected minority ethnic group or category of migrant in the UK.
1. Choose a particular minority ethnic group or category of migrant in the UK to focus on. This could be a relatively narrowly defined ethnic group (e.g. British-Bangladeshi people) or one that is more expansive (e.g. Black or Asian people), or a migrant category (e.g. refugees, low-skilled migrant workers).
2. Critically analyse four key aspects of the social experience of this group. These are:
i. Causes and patterns of migration to the UK. This should be informed by relevant theories of international migration and, if appropriate, analyses of patterns of settlement, and supported by empirical evidence. (Depending on the particular group selected, you may have to narrow the focus of your analysis to a particular subcategory for this section, e.g. refugees from the conflict in Somalia, or post-War labour migration from the West Indies.)
ii. Ethnic identity construction. Use relevant concepts, theories and empirical evidence to critically analyse the construction of this group’s social identity. This may involve considering some or all of the following issues, or different issues, depending on which are most relevant:
• categorisation in terms of attributes such as ‘race’, ethnicity and nationality (e.g. Black, Muslim, British), and the social meanings and statuses attached to these;
• the intersection of such identities with other social structures and identities (e.g. class, gender, religion, region);
• institutional contexts relevant to the process of ethnic identity construction (e.g. the labour market, the criminal justice system, the media);
• agents (e.g. media outlets, community organisations) and ideas (e.g. Islamophobia, multiculturalism, Black Power) that have played a significant role in ethnic identity construction.
iii. Social problems relevant to the experience this group. Focus on ONE institutional context (e.g. education, employment, welfare, criminal justice, housing, health, immigration, media) in which problems relevant to the experience of this particular group have occurred. Use relevant concepts, theories and empirical evidence to inform your analysis.
iv. Tackling the social problems identified. Use relevant concepts, theories and empirical evidence to inform analysis of ways in which problems you have identified could be, or have been, tackled to a greater or lesser extent. This could include references to examples of government policy and/or policy proposals, historical accounts of past struggles, biographical narratives of activists, analyses of media campaigns and/or the work of community associations, and such like.
For each of the four aspects, use empirical evidence to support claims you make and to illustrate lived experiences you describe. Evidence may include official statistics, historical accounts, news reports, film or documentary clips, extracts from biographies or literature, poetry, musical compositions, works of art, public exhibitions, or other relevant sources – as appropriate to the point(s) it supports or illustrates.
The main body of your assignment should therefore consist of four sections, with each section analysing one of the four aspects listed. You should also include a brief introduction identifying the group you have chosen to focus on and providing some context for the analysis that will follow, and a conclusion reflecting on the significance of key points you have made.
1. Explain measurements of central tendency (mode, median, and mean) and dispersion (range, variance, and standard deviation) in detail, using your own examples in each measurement (including how to calculate each measure).
2. Discuss the concept and key characteristics of normal distribution

The Protestant Reformation was a mixture of five different reforming movements occurring roughly at the same time throughout much of Europe: Lutheran, Zwinglian, Anabaptist, Calvinist, and the English Reformation. The different reform movements did have much in common. One example of this shared heritage among all the movements is the five Solas. The different reform movements also had similarities with one or more of the other reforming movements as well as unique qualities. An example of shared qualities among a few of the reform movements was the magisterial movements of Luther, Zwingli, and Calvin, whereas a unique feature of a single reform movement would be believer’s baptism of the Anabaptists. Understanding more deeply one or more of the branches of the Protestant Reformation will produce a heightened awareness of Christianity today.
INSTRUCTIONS
Your task in this assignment is to focus on the Protestant Reformation by either examining one reform movement in detail or examining all five reform movements broadly.
1. Write a research paper.
2. Use at least 6 scholarly sources. Your textbook can count. You may use scholarly websites, but also use at least 2 scholarly articles and/or books. Be careful to choose scholarly sources; do not use Wikipedia, blogs, or opinioned websites. If you are uncertain whether a source is scholarly, please ask your instructor.
4.1. Write an overview of all five different Protestant reform movements: Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, Anabaptists (You will focus on the Anabaptist movement that began in Zurich.), John Calvin, and English (Henry VIII and his 3 children). In this overview, include the following for each reform:
4.1.1. Identify the main person or people involved, and briefly describe major events/situations that occurred in the reform movement.
4.1.2. Describe the main theological points unique to that reform movement.
For this assignment, you will need to include the following:
4.2.1. A biography of the main person/people involved (including education and their deaths) and explain any major events/situations in detail.
4.2.2. Describe the main theological points unique to that reform movement.
Describe significant writings that occurred within that reform movement.

While working on a consulting engagement, a supervisor in your team has given you an assignment. The client is a regional trucking company. A new customer has approached the client with an opportunity that would require 120 trailers—20 more than the trucking company currently owns. The client is uncertain how long the relationship with the customer may last, but the deal has the potential for significant growth.
Your supervisor has asked you to research leases and lease structure issues on the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) website, in particular the current practice and thought related to direct financing, sales type, and operating leases.
Write a memo addressed to your supervisor that summarizes your FASB research results. Keep the memo brief while exploring the issues. Remember that both the client and the supervisor have limited time, and you want to make a good impression. Recommend an approach that the client can
use to evaluate and capitalize on this opportunity.
