The product of ad hoc analysis is typically a statistical model and a analytic report (Ad Hoc Analysis, n.d.). They are also used to create a report that drill deeper into the static report to get details about the accounts or records. The main goal of ad hoc reporting is to empower end users to ask their own questions of the company data. Ad hoc reporting stands in contrast with managed reporting, in which the technical user and the report developer create and distribute the report (Ad Hoc Reporting

Here is where I first disagree with Locke and his theory of motivation of the will according to pain and pleasure. I think this is a difficult notion to be comfortable with.

In “Faux Friendship,” associate professor William Deresiewics discusses the affect that social media has on our society. Deresiewics originally published this piece in The Chronicles of Higher Education in December 2009, but this piece has been published in The Nation, The American Scholar, The London Review of Books, and The New York Times. Deresiewics’ attempts to convince readers that social media take away our ability to build relationships in person. Despite Deresiewics’ appeal to ethos and

The article, “A Senior’s Photo is Too Sexy for the School Yearbook” is poorly supported with little to no credibility; the article contains logical fallacies such as Ad Hominem, appeal to emotion and appeal to the people.
