The Course of Empire
Starting in 1833 Thomas Cole spent 3 years creating The Course of Empire, a series of five paintings describing the arc of human culture from ‘savage wilderness’ through high civilization and its inevitable destruction. The 1830s were an optimistic time in America. The Erie canal had been completed, and the first US locomotive was making its first trips. Industrialization, baby. Thomas Cole’s Course of Empire was a warning against the pride of empire building, and showcased the dreamy idealization of the pastoral life. In newspaper advertisements for his series, Cole quoted Canto IV of Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage:
There is the moral of all human tales;
‘Tis but the same rehearsal of the past.
First freedom and then Glory – when that fails,
Wealth, vice, corruption – barbarism at last.
And History, with all her volumes vast,
Hath but one page…

This week you have read works of literature from three very important authors. Now that you have read the literature, you will answer the following questions about them. Please make sure to do so in paragraph form.
1. Which of themes author were you the most familiar with before reading the literature this week? Had you read any of the ones assignment this week before that? If so which ones? If not what was your first impression of them just by reading the authors name and title of the work.
2. Which author did you enjoy reading the most? Why? Which one did you enjoy the least? Why?
3. What themes did you find to the important within the authors works? Why did you find them to be important? Did you find anything similar between two or more of the authors style of writing or the subject matter? Why or why not?

The begining of the semester we wrote a research proposal. I will upload the research proposal. For this new assignment, I have to choose one question from the mention in paragraph 4 of the research proposal and write some assignments that you can see all instructions from the powerpoint. I need to find 6 article sources(not newspaper or anything) for these assignments. I already found three you can access them from the reference page in the research proposal, but please look for other 3 for me. As you will see in the powerpoint for the second assignment which is research question outline detailed, you mention with each point a source from different article. the other assignments you can see from the powerpoint. For all assignments just simple bullet points.

Week 14: Course Wrap-up and Self-Assessment
YOU’RE ALMOST THERE! You’ve made it through the last 13 weeks. Maybe you exceeded your own expectations, or maybe it was a rougher road than you thought. Either way, now is the time to reflect on what went well and what could have gone better. Remember that reflection encourages you to take charge of your own learning and helps you to develop critical thinking skills by analyzing your experience. That will help you improve your future performance. After all, college is what YOU make of it.
And taking 45 minutes to write this reflection might also help to ground you and give you the motivation to get through your final exams next week.
Set a timer for 45 minutes and open a new Word document. Write, without stopping, for 45 minutes on what went well this semester and what didn’t. You should focus mostly on this class, but you can include other courses if you want. In what ways did your writing change this semester? Do you feel that the regular practice each week helped you? What writing challenges do you still need to overcome, and what tools can you use to help you? What are you most proud of accomplishing this semester in this class, and what weakness do you still need to work on?
After you’ve written for 45 minutes, take at least a 15 minute break (or better yet, take a day or two!) and then come back to the assessment essay. Proofread for correctness and clarity.
Details and some materials.
I started my online class slowly, missing Week 1: Diagnostic Essay, Week 2: Prewriting, and Week 3: Evaluating Good Writing due to a family business emergency, and I needed to travel for a few weeks, so I wasn’t focused. But once I got back home to Atlanta, I was able to focus and start my assignments. One of my favorite essays was Week 7: Write your Own Scholarship Essay! I’m thankful for my professor because she knew I could complete the assignments, so she pushed me to become the best version of myself. I’m in the green, which is consider passing.
Getting Past a Tough Math Class ESSAY
In my time at school, I found the Quantitative Reasoning (QR) math class challenging. At first, QR felt like a locked door I couldn’t open; with complex problems, I couldn’t get it. This issue was a big deal, shaking my confidence and affecting my grades.
The challenge was more than just understanding and using math in real life. I wasn’t alone in this struggle, but I had to find a way to get through it. I realized the usual way of studying needed to be fixed for me. So, I looked for new ways to learn. I pinpointed what I found hard and looked up resources like online lessons, study groups, and practice activities.
An essential move was making QR part of my everyday life. I started using math to figure out things like chances and amounts in daily situations. This helped make the tough stuff more straightforward to understand. I also asked for tips from teachers and classmates, which helped me improve at solving problems.
Getting over this hurdle did more than help me with QR. It taught me to keep trying, change how I learn to suit myself better, and face complex problems bravely. These lessons are precious in school and in facing new challenges.

The file “final project-combines” includes the project I did so far on a Scottish Gaelic Language. I need to continue working on this project, which means provide two more sections, section 4 and 5. Instructions are attached in the file “instructions” as well as other useful resources. Please note that not all attached readings/resources needs to be listed as references. A lot of them are just examples to give a better idea. The sources/refernces should be also specific to the language, project.

W-2 FORM blank year-1.jpg
1. PREPARE A W-4
Go to irs.gov and download a Form W-4: irs.gov/Forms/W-4 for 2024
Fill out the W-4 form using the scenario above and the information on the W-2 posted above.
Submit the completed W-4
WARNING This is extremely simple! In 2020, the W-4 Form was redesigned by the IRS. It has been simplified and “allowances” are no longer used. Breathe and DO NOT OVER THINK IT. I have included the “How to Fill out a W-4” below for reference for students who may have more complicated taxes.
Resources:
How to Fill out a W-4 (https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/taxes/how-to-fill-out-form-w4-guide)
IRS FAQ on the redesigned W-4 2022 (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/faqs-on-the-2020-form-w-4)
2. PREPARE A 1040
Though you likely file your taxes online, going through the form will show you how the calculations are done. Software prompts you with questions to gather for information, then plugs the numbers into the 1040 form.
Use two decimal places or math won’t work out.
Understand that total income is reduced by adjustments and deductions; taxes are based on this lower taxable income number.
The amount of tax due is found by looking up the taxable income number in the tax tables, under the “filing status” column, to get the tax due.
The tax tables summarize all the calculations of the tax brackets. Line-by-line instructions are found in the 1040 instructions booklet. You will not use any supplemental forms for this assignment.
Go to irs.gov and download a 1040 Individual Income Tax Return Form: irs.gov Forms & Instructions Form 1040 Form 1040
Fill out the 1040 (Note: Use two decimal places for all numbers.) This year you can use the IRS fillable Tax Form to do the assignment–fill out, down load completed form, post!
The instructions for the 1040: irs.gov Forms & Instructions Form 1040 Instructions for Form 1040 (Note: I have NOT given you the links.)
Submit the completed 1040 on Canvas
1040 Line by Line
Line 12: Enter the Standard Deduction They put a little wonky box to the left on the form. Do not go to Schedule A
Line 16: Tax : Look up tax due on Taxable Income (line 15) in the Tax Tables from Instructions for Form 1040 (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040tt.pdf). in the IRS 1040 Instructions 2023. Find Taxable Income in the table, along the rows, then look at the “Single” column to find the tax due.
For example, if taxable income was 35,000 for a single person, taxes owed are $3,983
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf
Investopedia: How to read a tax table (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/taxtable.asp)
Line 38: does not owe a penalty because tax due is less than $1,000 (See 2023 Instructions 1040 pg. 62.) Enter 0 HINT: Tax Due is $766.92 [Line 37: amount you owe]
Sign the form!! or mention that it needs to be signed in your submission.
TIPS
With tax forms, the key is to take them line by line and NOT OVERTHINK THEM. Answer the questions directly and do not add any additional information, or “what ifs”. Follow the math calculations closely–what line is subtracted from what line.
Carefully refer to the information listed on the scenario. It will give you all the answers you need. You are welcome to work in groups on the assignment.
Do not reveal, publish online or turn in any actual personal financial information such as your Social Security number, bank or investment account numbers. Financial information is highly confidential. This class is to teach you how to manage your financial life but does not require you to reveal personal information. Illustrative purposes only!!
