For your second article critique, find a scholarly research article using the same criteria as your first critique. However, your second article must use a different experimental design than your first critique. For example, if your first study used a classical experimental design (pre-test/post-test with a control group), your second study must be something other than a classical experimental design, such as a time-series or cohort design.

All other requirements remain the same. Again, this must be a scholarly, empirical research article related to your topic and/or research question.

Locate one research article using an experimental design related to your project topic and research question. Read the entire article, not just the abstract. Be sure to write the critique in your own words and cite appropriately. Use APA style (abstract not required). Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length, excluding the cover and references pages. Further guidelines for writing an article critique can be found herePreview the document.

The hate you give

November 1, 2020 Leave a comment English and Literature, MLA

Directions: Write a five paragraph essay (an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion) that addresses how the concepts we have been discussing with the text create a theme. Unlike an expository essay, an analytical essay cannot just state that something obvious is true and provide an example. You must use your supporting evidence (quotes) to show how something implied is true and how it affects a larger point. For the purpose of this first essay, you will choose one of the following three options as your thesis statement:

In The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, the reader learns that identity constantly develops as one grows.

In The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, the reader learns that the feeling of being included influences one’s identity.

In The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, the reader learns that feeling empowered is difficult, but becomes easier with a support system.

Format and Structure:
Introduction = A hook that focuses on the idea of the first concept of focus mentioned in your chosen thesis statement. You then address the purpose of that concept. Then end with the given thesis statement.

Body Paragraph 1 = You address one reason the thesis statement is true and seen in the text how identity is developed, or how feeling included influences identity, or how feeling empowered is difficult but easier with a support system. This response to the thesis is known as your topic sentence. This focuses on the how. You need to include a quote with a proper MLA citation, and your analysis focuses on how the quote you provided proves the reasoning and ideas addressed in the topic sentence. The analysis in the paragraph will focus on how the concept is seen and the impact of it in the text. Basically, you are proving how the thesis statement is true in the quote you provided.

Body Paragraph 2 = Same as paragraph one, except it focuses on a different reasoning and different quote to show why the thesis statement is true.

Body Paragraph 3 = Same as paragraph one, except it focuses on a different reasoning and different quote to show why the thesis statement is true.

Conclusion = Start with a rephrased version of the thesis statement, which can be broken into two sentences. Then, summarize the main ideas from your body paragraphs in 2-3 sentences. Lastly, end with addressing the importance of know this — how it can be applied to society or why the reader should care about the concepts in the thesis statement.

Ideally, you will use these reflections throughout the course and the program to document your development as a scholar, practitioner, and leader, and to reflect critically on the changes that occur during this process.

Discussion 1:
The diversity of both students and faculty poses important considerations for teaching and learning. Reflect on the characteristic differences in gender, race, and culture, as well as the differences among the diverse generations in todays nursing education classroom. When considering your personal philosophy of teaching, discuss how you might use these characteristic differences and diverse backgrounds and experiences of todays nursing students as a teaching tool to connect students to nursing content and increase their understanding. In other words, how might you incorporate the background and experiences of your students into your teaching methods to enhance the ability of all students in your classroom to think critically and problem solve patient-care issues?

Discussion 2:
Nursing faculty is responsible for creating an environment that is conducive to learning and accommodates the multiple learning styles and abilities of students. As a nurse educator, how might you design learning experiences for class and clinical environments to promote positive and effective learning for all students? Do you think students should use their preferred learning styles and perhaps risk becoming rigid and unable to learn in different ways (should a situation demand a different learning style)? Or should educators encourage students to be open to different methods of learning, moving them away from their comfort zones?

Same as previous discussions. 1 page with reference per each discussion.

Conduct Socio-Emotional Observation of a 4 y.o. girl

November 1, 2020 Leave a comment Not applicable, Psychology and Education

Observe the student in a social situation that is non-academic (e.g. recess, lunch, play). This observation should help you gather data on how the student interacts with others. Observe how a child interacts with other children.

Does the student play with different or only the same children?
Does the student share?
Does the student initiate activities or waits to be invited? What kinds of activities does she enjoy with others?
How does a student interact with teachers and other adults?
Is the student able to ask for help?
Does the student require a lot of attention or direction? Does the student ask for constant praise?
Does the student enjoy talking with the teacher?
Does the student spend time with adult visitors in the classroom?

The Observation must include detailed information in all of the following: description of the context, description of students activities, comments, and inferences.
-Description of students activity is related to the area of development and reported in detail.
-Description of students activity is written as an objective account of behavior.
-Inferences are connected to the behavior observed, and their connection is explained in clear and elaborate fashion.
-Inferences are substantiated with references to at least 2 relevant theories of development and supported by 3 course readings.
-Inferences include a clear and elaborate description of the students developmental abilities and needs in the specific developmental domain and suggestions are provided for supporting the students development. 

Team Estimation Exercise

November 1, 2020 Leave a comment Business and Management, discussion

Choose a numerical estimation problem, for example : What’s the highest number of points ever scored by a professional football team during a game? or How long would it take a soccer ball to fall from the top of the Empire State Building? Make sure you look up the correct answer.

Set up two separate groups (3 or more people each). The group members can be friends, family members, coworkers, etc. They should not be other students in this class. The two groups do not have to be in the same room or even work on this at the same time. You will use the same question for each group.

Group One will be the control group. Ask them your estimation question. Tell them they may not ask you questions, receive outside information, or look up the answer or any related information. Ask them to estimate the answer to your question and come to a consensus on the answer. Observe the process they use to reach an answer.

Group 2 will be the test group. Ask them your estimation question. Tell them they may not ask questions, receive outside information, or look up the answer or any related information. Instruct the test group to start by having each group member share with the group two pieces of information they know that they think might be helpful to estimating the answer. After each person has shared their two pieces of information with the group, they should estimate the answer to the question and come to a consensus on the answer. Observe the process they use to reach an answer.

See which group, the control group, or the test group, comes closest to the correct answer.

In this thread, tell us:

1. What estimation problem did you use?

2. How did they work? Did leaders emerge, and if so, who were they?

3. What kind of information did people in the test group share, and how did it help them?

4. Which group (control or test) came closest to the correct answer?
