Create an 8-10 slide PPT, or some other presentation, that accomplishes the following:
Chose some ethical issue you feel is important (abortion, gun control, climate change, eating meat, anything that can be considered a moral matter – if you are unsure, be sure to clear with your instructor)
Present research on the situation being sure to clearly discuss both sides, as much as possible. Some conundrums will have much more weight on one side than the other such as climate change.
Reiterate the primary theories contained in your moral compass from week 3 and then explain the position on this issue your compass promotes.
Include a proper references/works cited slide (APA or MLA).
For example, say you want to address gender-neutral bathrooms in public buildings. First, present some research from sources promoting that they should exist and from sources promoting they should not. Then reiterate the components of your moral compass as stated in the week three paper. Note, your compass may have evolved and if so, work in the new components. Finally, state your position clearly (they should or should not exist) and how your compass justifies that position.
Keep in mind these best practices, please: 
Proper PPTs have bullets on the slide that are explained in the notes section (see video on how to do this if you do not know how). 
If you intend to narrate the presentation, be sure to include the transcript in the notes section (see PPT on how to insert audio if you do not know and want to give that a shot). 
If, for any reason you are unable to access the notes section, put the transcript/notes in a MS Word document in a numbered list with the numbers matching the slide.
Keep the viewer in mind (teacher). While you might work hard on a 20-minute presentation, few faculty members have the time to watch or listen to it.
Just like papers, clear citations must appear on the slide or in the notes to justify listing a resource as a reference.

Complete the following problems from the text using Microsoft Excel and ForecastX:
Problem 7 
Problem 11 
Problem 12 
You will be expected to submit a single fully functional, and clearly labeled Excel spreadsheet that uses a separate worksheet within the spreadsheet for each problem.  For each problem, you will be expected to submit a complete copy of your original work, documenting all calculations.  
Your spreadsheet will be expected to include the complete data set used and a complete copy of all calculations or other work you have performed (including a complete copy of your Forecast X output) to derive your answers for each problem.  No credit will be granted for work that is not completed using Excel, for which your Excel worksheet is not fully interactive, or for which your work shown is incomplete.

Quaker Oatmeal Marketing
Campaign Case Description:
This
case asks students to evaluate the impact of a marketing campaign implemented by
Quaker Oats whereby the company paid supermarkets to display a Quaker Instant
Oatmeal promotion at the end of the breakfast cereal aisle during the week
of November 2nd to November 11th.  This
week corresponds to Week 3 in the associated data.  If it costs Quaker $3,000 to run this
promotion at each supermarket, is the marketing campaign profitable for the
company?  To help answer this question (and help Quaker decide if they should run
the promotion across all US supermarkets), Quaker decided to first run this
promotion at 50 randonly chosen supermarkets across the country.  Then, they purchased supermarket scanner data
from Nielsen, a market research firm, from the 50 promo stores and data
at 50
stores where they did not run the promotion. 
The data provided sales
information for the
two weeks before the promotion, the week of the promotion, and three weeks
after the promotion.  Data on total
weekly sales of instant oatmeal for each supermarket are included in the Data worksheet.  Use them to analyze whether the
campaign worked and whether it was profitable.

Use the attached HW Template, which is an excel sheet to help and aid your approach to the solution.

Introduction: Your introductory material should set up your topic for your audience. Briefly summarize your findings (” Effects of COVID-19 on College Students “). Your introduction should not meander around the point of your paper. 
It may be more than one paragraph in length, but at some point, very early in the paper, you then need to start the substance of the paper. State your thesis in the form of a sentence or two. It should not be in the form of a question. Your thesis should be a brief statement, in your own words, that points out the significant issues about this topic that you discovered in your research. 
Body of Paper: Use subheadings (if needed) to separate aspects of your paper that support your thesis. The body of your paper should provide supporting evidence to support your thesis in a logical, fully developed manner. For each new topic that supports your overall thesis, provide a topic sentence or two which is, in effect, the thesis for that sub-topic. If you do not use subheadings, you must provide transition sentences to move your reader from one paragraph to the next. Your supporting sub-topics should address these issues: What is the significant impact of these research findings? How will they affect people? What are the benefits to people? Are there any disadvantages? These are just some questions you can answer in your paper, but feel free to add more questions you believe could be answered. 
As a research paper writer, you should synthesize the information gained from sources and weave it into a well-ordered paper, using the sources as evidence to support key points. These are how your direct quotes (In-text citations) come into your paper. 
Conclusion: Your conclusion should make “wrap up” statements about what you learned about the topic and your findings’ possible impact on people and society. Also, address any issues that may still not be resolved for you. Don’t be reluctant to address the problems that aren’t quickly resolved or have negative or ambiguous outcomes. I am looking for a thoughtful look at the topic and sharing the major significance of this issue.
Your research paper must include three direct quotes (in-text citations)—a quote from each source. Please view the Week 5 folder for in-text citations and the APA folder for more information on in-text citations. 
Page 3 or 4: Reference Page 
The final page of your research paper is your reference page. This page has all the sources you USED to write your research paper. Each source should be placed as an APA citation and in alphabetical order by the first letter of the citation. Please view the APA folder and sample research paper to understand what should be submitted for your reference page. 
Sources
Three sources in total (You may add more if you choose, but each source you use must contain an in-text citation in the body of the paper. You should have a minimum of 3 in-text citations, one from each source you use. You can use multiple in-text citations from one source, but remember each source should have at least one in-text citation.) 
Provide 3 articles ( Two that I have provided and One on your own) from a database or credible internet sources
You may use the sources from your annotated bibliography. 
Required: at least three direct quotes/paraphrases/summarizations, one from each source.
