Any topic (writer’s choice)

Each section has its own criteria, please help me edit to meet the criteria.

Theoretical foundations/ conceptual framework and review of the literature/themes: This is way too long. One paragraph per theory

In the theory section of the prospectus, please develop one paragraph for each theory, and in each paragraph include the following information:
1.    One sentence to provide an overview of this theory. Include who developed.
2.    Three to five sentences to introduce the conceptual components that are embedded in the theory
3.    One to two sentences to clearly describe how the theory and its components connect to your study how they will be used in your study. If there is an existing instrument that was developed based on the selected theory and will be used in your study, this would be a good place to mention the instrument. 

Life-in-a-Day

LIFE IN A DAY

This Life-in-a-Day will comprise autobiographical account of one day in your own life. You must relate (some of) the experience and incidents in which you are involved during the course of the day. You should discuss and analyse these in terms of the concepts and ideas from 3 theoretical perspectives.

The focus of the Life in a Day is thus yourself and how your own actions, words and behaviour can be analysed in terms of the module’s different perspectives.

Advice: You may find it easiest to focus on a small number of key incidents from your day, rather than trying to write an account of everything that happened to you. You could apply one perspective to each incident, or alternatively you might analyse each incident in terms of all four perspectives. You need not to agree with the perspectives you choose, but you must demonstrate how they can be applied to your self.

The theory you need to use are:

Part C: Calculating Costs
Serenity Now Industries manufactures custom fiberglass hulls for luxury yachts and pleasure boats. The current cost accounting system uses machine hours to allocate manufacturing overhead to each job. Serenity estimates that in the coming year it will incur $600,000 in manufacturing overhead costs and use 8,000 machine hours.
Depending on the specifications requested by the customer, the hull may use hazardous chemicals that incur greater disposal costs. Serenity’s traditional accounting system includes the cost of hazardous waste disposal in with total manufacturing overhead. Serenity is planning to implement an activity based costing system to more accurately assign hazardous waste disposal costs to each job.
Expected usage and costs for manufacturing overhead are as follows:

During the year, Yacht #633 was started and completed:
DM cost per lb.    $55
Lbs. of DM used on job    170
DL cost per hr.    $20.00
DLH used    50
Requirements:
a.    Calculate the cost of Yacht #633 using the Serenity’s current method of allocating manufacturing overhead.
b.    Calculate the cost of Yacht #633 using the proposed activity based costing system. How is this information useful to an environmental management accounting (EMA) system?

Critically reflect upon what the English language means to you

Critically reflect upon what the English language means to you as a second language. (first language is FRENCH). Using the theoretical and conceptual lenses considered during the module and your own experiences of learning, using and taking ownership of it as a medium, reflexively evaluate the way it shapes who you are and the self you perform in different contexts. 

Essay length 1000 words.  13 references.

For the essay, you need to concentrate on short paragraphs each developing a main point in your argument. Keep introductions and conclusions brief but substantive.Dont forget you can cluster several references in one citation e.g. (Dows 2019; Jones et al 2016, p.13; Zebedee 2011)

You can use some of the references below but you need to use new ones as well.

Well-structured and presented:Introduction which provides an incisive mini-synopsis of the essay , and a thesis statement that contextualises your argument and topic. Clearly written and presented paragraphs and argument. Referenced correctly.
Comprehensive: Covering the various areas and issues indicated in the title, plus any other issues or area that seem relevant or interesting. All key terms defined in relation to the relevant literature.

Based on sufficient evidence :Supporting all general claims with evidence from a range of academic perspectives or everyday social practices. Using a wide range of background reading to explain and develop argument and points made.

Nuanced, analytical and scholarly: Demonstrating a nuanced awareness of the complex and contested nature of English use in todays globalised world. Revealing an understanding of literature in the field beyond that evidenced in quotes used to build your argument. The final result of multiple drafts and editing.
