Coomunity Based Core Assignment Final Paper

August 24, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Psychology and Education

Write the final paper based on the outline (attached) and the feedback I provided below. Please write about the topics of this class mentioned in the syllabus and previous readings and cite if needed. You can feel free to modify or delete some content in the outline if you feel it should be. Please read the original instruction, feedback and the criteria before beginning writing.

Instruction:

You will write a 10 page final paper (You may write more but no longer than 15 pages) for the class that asks you to synthesize course readings and activities in relation to your core assignment. The final paper will be focused on what your stances are about community based research and practice, what kinds of issues and practices you think are critical and why, and what you are going to work on for your own practice. You should make connections to readings from class in your final paper. You are required to connect to at least 7 sources. Please make sure to include a references list with your final paper.

Your paper should have the following sections at minimum:

1-3 Pages of overview and context. This should include an overview of the issue and organization that you focused on as well as some account of power and systemic issues shaping the context. You are welcome to pull from your group presentations!

3-5 Pages focused on your activity plan and its purposes. In this section it is less about sharing the specifics but in reflecting on it and how it raised issues of community based practice and learning. You should spend less time explaining the activity plan (we have it already) and more time on the reasoning and why this activity matters. You should take up the principles, practices, and outcomes that you think are important about it. You might also focus on what’s missing and how you might change it.

2-3 Pages that describes your own key strengths and some key areas of growth for you. You should explain why both of these areas matter.

YOUR PAPER MUST HAVE ALL THREE SECTIONS BEFORE WE WILL GRADE IT.

Previous feedbacks:
– About the issue and topic: The one area that I would encourage you to work on is narrowing the issue that you mean to address. What within the adjustment to life at UW are you hoping to address? Is it social isolation? xenophobia? mental health? Think about being a bit more precise in this area for your final paper.
– About the activity plan: This should relate to an issue a group faces — as I understand it is mental health and well-being of Chinese students at UW. This is an issue in the world that you want to return to as you talk about building a network and creating emergent strategies. Emergent strategies are connected to the things you cite, but they are also about creating a more just world. Try to connect cooking to student wellbeing and your politic of design. The cooking should be connected to supporting the health and wellbeing of students as they confront stress and struggle, right? Make this more apparent in your paper.

Criteria:
– Context & Overview: Power and historicity
Included account of how power and systemic issues impact the issues and organization in your CBCA. This is reflective of both contemporary issues and also how these issues came to be. Uses at least 4 sources to show strong grasp of ideas and theories and their implications for interpreting your observations and research. Makes the links between claims and data/observations clear and specific–research and inquiry are evident.

-Activity plan, purpose and process: Principles, practices, and outcomes
You identify key principles, practices, and outcomes and articulate why they are important. You also include some thoughts about how your original plans or thinking has evolved. Includes at least 3 sources that connect to course theories and stances to justify, explain, and develop practices.

-Personal reflection
You identify both strengths and areas for growth in your practice and why they are important.

-Editing, Revisions, References, & Formatting
The paper is in APA format, and it has been edited for clarity and grammar/conventions. There is a reference page.
The paper is formatted and written as “academic” in the context of the educational environment we are in.

Economic Trade in Pacific Ocean Nations

August 24, 2020 Leave a comment History, MLA

Drawing on 2-3 examples of the production or exchange of goods and commodities,
what are some of the different ways we might characterise or periodise the emergence
of a “Pacific Economy” and its place in a world economy?

But the primary focus of the essay should be “to pick 2-3 commodities an explore how each of them tell a separate or different story about the nature of economic, social and environmental history in the Pacific?”

This assignment is an exercise in developing an original argument about the topic outline
in the Essay Plan. This will be based on critical analysis of existing scholarship collected
through the students’ independent research.

I’ve attached a number of sources that could be useful.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

August 24, 2020 Leave a comment Harvard, Other

This is a video assignment. What you need do is writing part.

You need go through carefully with the instruction. There are 110 topic at the end of instruction file. You need choose one from them.
Don’t choose complicate topic, choose a simple and interesting one.

The writing outline is in the instruction file also, you need totally follow that. (The video presentation should include the following)

An ethical analysis related to the selected topic This component must feature
no more than THREE ethical concepts and/or theories that were covered in
weeks 2 and 3 of this course.

I upload all the martial from week 2 and week 3 also. Go through that and find out the ethical concepts and/or theories that covered. You cannot write other ethical concepts and/or theories except in week 2 and 3.

These ethical frameworks should be briefly
defined and applied to some aspect of the selected topic. For example, this
could be a hypothetical scenario or news story either past or present that is
related to the selected topic which is then subject to ethical analysis.
An understanding of the meaning and application of the ethical concepts used
in context should be made clear. Your aim is to discuss right versus wrong
about something concerning your selected topic and this analysis must be
supported using ethical frameworks.

However, you MUST NOT use this component of the video to only provide a tutorial overview of ethical concepts. These ethical concepts must primarily be applied to your selected topic. For example, DO NOT just explain Kantian ethics in detail, briefly define the essence of this framework in your own words and use it to evaluate right from wrong within the context of your selected topic in some manner
