A 5 page research paper/essay that discusses the opening chapter of his landmark 1903 text, The Souls of Black Folk, by African American leader W.E.B. Du Bois outlines the emotional dichotomy inherent in the lives of black Americans, a dichotomy that he termed “double-consciousness.” This term concisely and eloquently refers to the perception of African Americans that they have two identities—that of being an “American,” but also that of being “black.” Examination of Du Bois’ concept, first of all, summarizes his position and discusses the accuracy of this position, but then also looks at how this concept applies to the lived experience of African Americans during the post-World War II era.

A 4 page paper discussing top-down cost estimation of large projects to assess the method's overall reliability. Though it may not be possible to devise totally accurate cost estimates of projects filled with unknowns, certainly it is necessary to gain a better understanding of final cost than has been possible with traditional bottom-up methods. The bottom-up approach is preferable in some instances, top-down in others. As yet there is no cost estimating process that can return a guaranteed cost that will not be exceeded, but the top-down method offers advantages and can help to improve common failure and cost overrun rates. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

A 6 page essay/research paper that reports on how African American writers commemorate each other. African American culture has a long tradition of applauding and praising the accomplishments of distinguished black Americans, as their achievements have given both solace and hope to generations who still endured the sting of overt racism in the U.S. A prime example of this is Robert Hayden's poem "Frederick Douglass." Published in 1946, Hayden's poetic interpretation of the life of Douglass expressed both the frustration and hope of black Americans at that time concerning the attainment of civil rights ("Robert Hayden"). However, while African American scholars pay homage where homage is due, they do not do so with an uncritical eye. This aspect of black scholarship is exemplified by W.E.B. Du Bois' critique of the work of Booker T. Washington. This examination of both of these works examines how Hayden honors the memory of Frederick Douglass and then discusses Du Bois' objections to the philosophy of Washington.
