Message from the Director
Relevance of Ethics Regarding the Purpose of Sport
Academic Standards (if applicable)
Substance Use and Monitoring Policies
On-Field and Off-Field Conduct

Length: 12-15 pages; not including the title and reference pages
Your handbook should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards.
Week 7 – Assignment: Analyze Paying College Athletes Beyond Scholarships
Previous Next
Instructions
With the millions of dollars generated by college athletes, the questions arise: How should they be compensated? Is a full ride scholarship enough when schools are making millions in television revenue and other revenue streams such as video games?
There has been discussion in recent years on the subject of student-athletes being paid beyond their scholarships at the intercollegiate level. This week’s assignment is to use the perspectives of a school administrator, athletic director, and coach to evaluate the developments in intercollegiate athletics on a national level and assess the possible transformations regarding student-athletes being paid beyond their scholarships. Utilize a multimedia platform of your choice and create a presentation for school administrators, athletic directors and coaches, or student-athletes about the pros and cons of paying student-athletes beyond a scholarship.
Please address the following in your presentation:
Is paying student-athletes an ethical and/or moral situation?
Will beliefs be changed about college sport if athletes are paid beyond scholarships?
What type of framework should be included when making decisions such as this?
Be sure to review this week’s resources carefully. You are expected to apply the information from these resources when you prepare your assignment.
Length: 8-10 slides, not including title and reference slides
Resources: minimum of 3 scholarly sources
Describe your rationale for selecting each performance measure and also how it can accurately measure the goals success, and if the elected officials would agree with your definition of success when using these measures. If they would agree, why would they do so? If not, how would you justify your definition of success to them?
Instructions Imagine that you have been asked to present your argument at a conference on your papers chosen topic. Then, imagine a few scholars in the field who disagree with your claim are present in the audience. Additionally, during a question and answer session during the conference, consider two scholars countering your papers position. Let your readers know what their arguments are and work to convince the audience that your position is the stronger one or that your solution is the better one. Both sides will have merit, but help your audience understand why your claim is the more logical and reasonable one. 1 Create a PowerPoint presentation with voiceover containing at least 6 slides that uses words, images, and narration. 2 Develop two of the strongest scholarly counterarguments against your papers claim (2 slides for each argument). 3 Convince the audience that their claims are weak, based on the research you conducted (2 slides). Do not demean the opposition, call them names, or directly attack their positions. If your argument is truly the stronger one, it should stand up against fairly presented academic research. Sources should be applicable for the English Lerners/ English writing

E) SCENE ANALYSIS After each life experience assignment and class discussion, these chapter concepts and terms will be further reinforced through a series of scene interpretations from a chosen movie. Each chapter assigned to this work will have a list of several terms or concepts to choose from (number to be determined in class) in movie handout listed on in course documents section of BB. There will be four chapters that will have a scene analysis assignment. Each chapter analysis is worth 10 points. Students will choose number of determined terms or concepts and define them from the chapter in textbook. Only definitions from the textbook can be used. Definitions must be written verbatim as it appears in chapter. Step by step instruction on how to do this assignment is in BB section called course documents. More on this step approach to the assignment in class. A rubric will also be handed out (or posted on blackboard) for additional instructions on how to this scene analysis, as well as past student scene analysis papers for reference. Aim: To gauge each students ability to apply terms or concepts from the reading to better understand the cultural, social, and communication actions of others. UTILIZE Scene Analysis # 1 Chapter 12: Intercultural Communication AND/WITH The movie we will be using for analysis is Boyz N the Hood. https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Survey_of_Communication_Study/Chapter_12_-_Intercultural_Communication I think the movie can be found on YouTube Survey of Communication Scene Analysis Handout Instructions: There are three scene analysis papers due during the semester. The goal of each analysis is to gauge your knowledge, understanding and ability to apply certain terms or concepts from chapter readings. The chapters the class will analyzing are 12 (Intercultural Communication), 2 (Verbal Communication) or 3 (Non Verbal Communication) and 9 (Inter Personal Communication). Please look over the information below. Under each Chapter Heading you will see the movie to watch and a list of key terms or concepts. Please view the following steps to do the assignment. (3) STEPS TO A SCENE ANALYSIS: 1) Choose _______terms or concepts from chapter list. Once this is done, DEFINE verbatim each term or concept FROM THE TEXTBOOK. Definitions from any other source will NOT be accepted. This first step must be written out on the paper you are handing in. Definitions should be at least 3-5 sentences in length. The more detailed definition you have the more words to work with for a better chance of an accurate and meaningful analysis (more on this in Step # 3). 2) Once you have the definitions in place, choose a SCENE that you think best connects with the definition. For example, if you choose to define the word STEREOTYPE, you need to pick a scene from the movie that best illustrates or demonstrates the definition of STEREOTYPE. 3) Once you have the definition and associated scene in place, your analysis begins. Analysis should explain or interpret the chosen scene USING THE WORDS FROM THE DEFINITION OF THE TERM OR CONCEPT you picked. Example. The scene for the term STEREOTYPE needs to analyzed or broken down using the words from its definition. No personal opinions, inferences, or responses are asked for or accepted. In class we can discuss any personal thoughts about your analysis. All answers are based on applying the words from a term or concepts definition. There will be a rubric physically given out and or on blackboard as a reference guide to the assignment. Chapter 12 Intercultural Communication Movie is Boyz in da hood 1) *Racial prejudice Racial discrimination Racism *These three terms are a package deal. They will count for ONE question. So please choose one scene or scenes that best illustrate them. 2) Intersectionality 3) Privilege 4) Ethnocentrism 5) *Minority Identity Development (In analysis of a character, connect stages 1-4) Majority Identity Development( In analysis of a character, connect stages 1-4) *everyone has to choose, apply, and analyze either Minority or Majority Identity Development to one of the characters in the movie. 6) Collectivistic versus Individualistic Culture 7) *Representation Symbolic Annihilation *These two terms are a package deal. The count as ONE question. If choosing these terms to analyze you will need to profile a character who you feel is being portrayed in the movie in a way that illustrates the two terms definitions. You may wind up comparing your analysis with other examples from another movie or medium outlet. Perhaps though, you may also feel that this movie breaks through certain racial stereotyping defined by the two terms. If so, provide reasons and scene support that contradicts the terms definitions

Example Goals and Objectives
Goal 1: Expand and enhance public and staff access to library and electronic information resources through our website.
Objectives:
Replace the librarys web server and software by August of 2010.
Form a web committee comprised of representatives from each department by January 2009 to evaluate resources that should be included in the site and to make a schedule to routinely update these resources.
The outreach coordinator will develop marketing materials to promote the site and aim to increase traffic to the site by 20% after six months.
The library manager will establish a list of website competencies for staff and will offer two training sessions to familiarize staff with the resources on the librarys site by March 2009.
Goals and Objectives should be SMART
The acronym stands for:
Specific Be clear about what needs to be done. Someone other than the person who wrote the plan should be able to clearly see the intended technology path and what will need to be done to successful.
Measurable Refer to specific measurements to gauge success. Use details like how many, an expected percentage increase in usage or rate of participation to establish a measurable success rate.
Attainable Are there sufficient resources, staff time, and budget to achieve goal/objective? When referencing staff resources, state the position in the library that will be responsible for completing the task so that a clear picture can develop about the amount of work that will be delegated.
Relevant Does the objective support the goal and does the goal support the librarys mission? The projects and activities that the library undertakes should be in direct support of the mission.
Time-bound When should the objective be completed or measured?
Writing in the SMART style helps to ensure that expectations are clear from the beginning and to keep the plan on track. However, it is important to remember that things can change! If you can no longer achieve the goals set out in your plan, document those challenges or barriers and explain why things were changed.
