St. Peter's Basilica as Late Renaissance architecture and Catholic power
St. Peter's Basilica is a big part of the art and architecture of the Catholic religion. It also affected the culture of the time in which it was built and widely used. Political power, late Renaissance architecture, and the strength of the Catholic religion are all part of the value that surrounds the Basilica. This paper addresses all three of those issues, in an effort to show that they are all affected by the Basilica itself.

This paper is about hypothesis testing . The assignment is a bit muddled, basically asking for a whole thesis' worth of statistical testing on a three page assignment. Plus there's an email, related to a data set that wasn't provided, and some sort of explanation about hypothesis testing in general.
Ethnographic observation of NHL hockey game attendance and fan behavior
Conduct a 1-hour observation on 2 different dates. The observations will be conducted at the same place, and at the same time of day, in a diverse setting such as a place of worship, a public high school, a college campus, a political gathering, or a sporting event. Before you conduct your observations, you will write an explanation of your predispositions of how you think people will behave in this setting.
For example, if you were to choose a church for your observations, do you have any foregone conclusions about how the people there will participate in the service, treat each other, treat their children, and treat you? Come up with your own theories, and then test your theory through actively observing (interacting when appropriate) within the context of the setting.
