PART1 The sound revolution in cinema in interwar era A. Introduction (avantgarde time, the sound revolution, social and economic context B. Literature review C. Methodology D. Filmmakers and script writers: the development of a new art using sound 1.

Benjamin Fondane and Mario Peixto (similarities: They were both poets Fondane as well as Peixto wrote the cinepoems), writers, scriptwriters, film directors. Both directed the first film with lots of passion, although their movie was not so well received back to 1930s (Fondane directed ‘Tararira’ in 1936) and both were very well criticized postum as one of the best filmmakers of their era. E. Conclusion PART 2 Avantgarde film theories and the experimental cinematic practices between the war (in the view of Benjamin Fondane) A. Introduction B. Literature review C. Conclusion Benjamin Fondane’s cinematic career (to be included inside the chapters): 1. Cinepoems and Un Chien Andalou of Dali (the film was inspired from cinepoems) 2. The similarities between Fondane and Mario Peixto 3. Fondane and Tararira – the lost film 4. Fondane and Rapt (his implication as a scriptwriter, the fact that his name was mentioned more than Kirsanof’s (the director), Fondane’s view about Rapt (sound, music, theme, actors, miseenscene). 5. Fondane and other films at Paramount Pictures 6. ‘The Discreet Charm of The Bourgeoisie’ – film inspired from Tararira, or an improved version of Tararira (reasons: 1. Bunuel directed the movie in French – why French, and why France when he could use actoes from SUA? 2. Both films are satires of the burgeoise. 3. The film is produced in 1972, long time after Fondane’s death and long after the Jewish persecution, like he waited his career to grow, to get enough experience and direct a mature film in Fondane’s memory). 7. Fondane: the Nostradamus of cinema (he talked about color cinema, 3D cinema, the fact that visuals can be a mediocrity tool, etc.)

Currently under the Common Rule (will upload), research using existing biospecimens (clinical or from prior research) can be done WITHOUT consent by stripping the specimens of identifiers. A potential change to this is currently under consideration. Proposed reforms would require WRITTEN CONSENT for research use of biospecimens, even those that have been stripped of identifiers. Here is the essay questions: DO YOU AGREE THAT WRITTEN CONSENT FOR RESEARCH USE OF BIOSPECIMENS SHOULD BE REQUIRED,EVEN WHEN SPECIMENS HAVE BEEN STRIPPED OF IDENTIFYING INFORMATION? WHY OR WHY NOT?

Solution #1 (50 words) Solution #2 (50 words) Solution# 3 (50 words) 5 Evaluate identified solutions. One way to determine which solution is best is to list advantages and disadvantages of each potential solution.

Imagine you feel it is important to meet with your legislator to obtain his/her support on your recommendations to revise the Affordable Care Act so it can be presented for approval. Your legislator has little time and needs a brief, concise overview of what the policy entails and why he/she should support its passage. Create an informational tool that you will hand to a legislator about the pros of your recommendations to convey a recommended course of legislative action to change the Affordable Care Act. Some examples of such tools might include: Brochure Be creative! Add pictures or other graphics Be sure to keep the following in mind: >You are convincing your legislator of the validity and necessity of your policy proposal. >When you are providing your legislator with your information tool, be aware of the impact that special interest groups and other politics will have on the legislator’s decision. These factors will have an impact on the way your proposal is received by the legislator. > Consider the relationship of government to the creation of policy and describe how your legislator’s support will help the creation of the policy for which you are lobbying in your resource. >Use appropriate references so your legislator may understand why he/she should support the potential policy. Cite your sources. Format your assignment according to APA guidelines
Word limit: 2000 words. The abstract and reference list are NOT included in the word limit. Intext referencing, subheadings, and table/figure information and captions ARE included in the word limit. Sections to be included in the assignment. Abstract < 200 words Introduction ~800 words Results ~400 words Discussion ~800 words *Note that students are NOT to include a method section in their assignment submission. The method section has been provided on blackboard within ‘Assignment’ section in a file called ‘assignment method section’. *Also note that the numberofwords guidelines shown above are guidelines only. Assignment background, and expectations The lab report constitutes a replication and extension of Rogers and Fay (2016). A brief description of the method and main findings of this research was provided during lecture 1, part 1. The purpose of the PSY3304 study is to replicate the main findings, and to extend by investigating how/if two different factors (age, and need for cognition) associate with the propensity to stick with one’s own description when choosing a description to send to the audience. The introduction of the assignment is therefore expected to be focused upon justifying the precise hypotheses regarding the direction of the expected relationship between description choice with both age, and need for cognition. There should be 5 hypotheses in total as discussed during lecture 1, week 1. Specifically, there are three hypotheses regarding the replication attempt of Rogers and Fay (2016), and there are two hypotheses regarding the extension upon the Rogers and Fay (2016) study. I have provided lecture 1 slides. The results section should provide statistics that can be used to answer all the hypotheses. Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) for all variables of interest should be reported (preferably in a table). A pairedsamples ttest should be used to compare appraisal of personal descriptions versus appraisal of the audience descriptions. Finally, correlations between variables should be reported (preferably in a table) as this will answer the extension hypotheses. Remember that a results section should contain text to complement what gets provided in tables. The results should be described in a way that makes the findings clear to the reader. See statistics document posted in the assignment folder for some resources on statistics relevant to this assignment. The discussion section should restate what was expected and explain to the reader if the findings support or do not support what was predicted. As much as possible, the findings should be explained in the context of the research literature. In this assignment students are encouraged to also consider limitations and future research ideas to include as this will help to show evidence of critical thinking that the markers will be looking for. The data The data file is available within blackboard assignment section as both an excel file and an spss file.I have provided excel file The variables in those files are as follows: Gender (0 = Female, 1 = Male) Age Prop_Self Proportion (%) of trials where the choice was made to send personal description to Person X. This variable could theoretically range from 0% to 100%. Appr_Self Appraisal of clarity for personal descriptions. This is a composite variable created from averaging across all appraisals for all 20 personal descriptions. Descriptions were appraised as (1) Extremely unlikely (2) Very unlikely (3) Somewhat unlikely (4) Somewhat likely (5) Very likely (6) Extremely likely. Therefore, this variable could theoretically range from 1 to 6. Appr_PersonX Appraisal of clarity for person X descriptions. This is a composite variable created from averaging across all appraisals for all 20 person X descriptions. Descriptions were appraised as (1) Extremely unlikely (2) Very unlikely (3) Somewhat unlikely (4) Somewhat likely (5) Very likely (6) Extremely likely. Therefore, this variable could theoretically range from 1 to 6. Appr_Self_min_PersonX Appraisal of person X descriptions subtracted from appraisal of personal descriptions. This variable could theoretically range from +5 to 5. A positive score indicates that…
