Please choose at least 8 out of 20 terms from the list, and integrate 2 additional terms into your map (can be drawn from provided list, but do not have to be drawn from list). This will result in 10 parent nodes. Those parent nodes should have a total of 20 child nodes (distributed however you would like, with at least one child node for each parent node).
Include 3 key people and 4 key experiments.
Include at least 5 cross links.
Label each and every link descriptively.
Define vocabulary (at the least, vocab related to parent terms)

You have 24 hours to submit once you begin. Please reach out if you have any questions at any time.
Creating a Concept Map

Start with the provided initial node/term. This initial node is an overarching, major term or idea from which the following terms or ideas extend in a hierarchical or radiating format.
Brainstorm the key ideas. Write them down. Use the list of required terms to help.
Sort and classify the ideas, looking for relationships. It sometimes helps to put all the ideas onto post-it notes or cards to help you physically group the different concepts. These will become your parent nodes.
Shift from a more complex (parent node/required term) to less complex idea (child or lower-level node that further explains the parent node/required term), or major idea to a minor idea. The vertical hierarchy established here often ends with an example or experiment.
Transfer the ideas into your software of choice.
Draw lines to connect concepts in the vertical hierarchy. Using a few words or a short phrase, label the line/link between concepts in the vertical hierarchy. The purpose of the line and label is to explain or illustrate the relationship between concepts.
Look for cross links between different concepts. Cross links are connections drawn between one segment of the concept hierarchy or classification and another. These links are different from the links that connect the nodes in a vertical hierarchy these are horizontal connections between terms at the same levels to show how ideas connect across topics.
Write a brief, 2-3 sentence reflection on why you organized the information in the way that you did. Graded on thoughtfulness and completion.
Essential Components of Concept Maps

Initial nodes are overarching topics and do not count toward your number of terms (e.g., Child Development or Biology).
Be sure to include the required number of terms from the provided list. The required number will be noted on the list, but likely, 10 out of 20 terms. These are called parent nodes.
Include an additional 5 terms (from the list or not) and label them as My Term. You can select any terms related to the three weeks of material.
At least one child node from each parent node/term on the list is required (e.g., major experiments, key people, vocabulary, considerations, details, ).These lower-level nodes are more detailed points, becoming progressively more detailed as you move deeper into a topic. They further explain the parent node/required term.
If there are 15 terms required, include at least 30 child links (1-3 for each required term).
Within your nodes, you must include details on at least 5 key experiments (researcher, subjects (who), research question (what), research method/design (how), hypothesis (expected outcome), results, and interpretation (why it matters)).
You must also include at least 3 people. Key people should be explained with at least the concept/theory/experiment that they are most well-known for (e.g., Freud psychoanalysis)..

You are a public health worker who has developed a program to address our nations number one cause of mortality (cardiovascular disease [CVD]). The program focuses on three main risk factors: nutrition, physical activity, and tobacco use. The community you are working with is low-income, low-education, multicultural, and the aforementioned risk factors are prevalent throughout.

This discussion has two parts:

-Pick one CVD risk factor and describe your first step to engage the community in your program.
-Identify and discuss at least 2 different methods to reach an intended audience. Provide examples of the method in use.

Please write an essay in which you first clearly identify a single major achievement in Epidemiology (e.g., Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, Tobacco Use, Cholera). Then briefly describe one important tool that is used to measure its occurrence in a population. Briefly identify one source of public health data on that issue. Finally, incorporating the concepts of risk and rates, briefly discuss at least one major factor that influenced its occurrence.

Instructions

You can submit your paper in Question and Answer format. In other words, list the questions and provide a short answer to each.

1. Which single achievement in Epidemiology is of particular interest to you? (Some examples include Smallpox, HIV/AIDS, Tobacco Use, and Cholera). Please write 23 sentences maximum.

2. Briefly describe that achievement in Epidemiology (12 paragraphs). In what era did this achievement occur? Be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.

3. Briefly describe one important tool that can be used to measure its occurrence in a population. Examples of Tools include surveys, surveillance, and biological monitoring. Please write 23 paragraphs about this, and be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.

4. Please identify one specific source of public health data on that issue and write one paragraph about it. Provide a description of the source and a link (i.e., hyperlink or URL) directly to the data source.

5. Incorporating what you learned in this module about risk and rates, what would you say was one major factor that influenced the achievement of this occurrence? Please write 23 paragraphs and be sure to cite sources rather than simply stating your opinion.

Follow Attached rubric. Assess the impact of news on stocks and bonds. News can affect stock and bond prices in significant ways. This is because news disseminates into the market at different speeds and with different levels of importance. As investors, you need to think about how information flows through market participants and into securities. Surprise news can jolt the market up or down, whereas gradual dissemination can result in a slow buildup or deterioration in prices/yields. Additionally, market participants sometimes build expectations beforehand, and prices react differently than people expected because the news did not meet or exceed expectations. All of these dynamics can supply important information to apply to an investors portfolio decisions.

conduct the research brief, use the following format.

I. Research Objective:

State here what your objectives are for the research you are conducting. Advice: do not make this harder than it is.  All you want to do is find something that interests you and ask questions about it.

II. Data Gathering

State here what type of data you will need to arrive at a conclusion. Be specific, for example, you would want to cite a source like NYSE stock market equity price at the close of trading on a specific date.  Make sure you state why this data is important why it is the type of data that you need.

III. Hypothesis

State here the specific hypothesis or hypotheses that you are examining.  For example, you might want to compare a group of individuals tasting a specific product against the same individuals tasting the same product. A different type of question might be looking at the relationship between the age of an individual and how much they like a product or how much they might save in one year.

You will want to include two hypotheses as part of your research question.

IV. Analytic Strategy

State here how you will get answers to your specific hypotheses based on the statistical tools we have covered.

V. Results Assessment

State here how you will be assessing your results.

Instructions for the week 1 portion of assignment:
This small assignment/activity will be revisited and used in an ongoing way in this class as you work on and complete your Family Partnership Policy (don’t worry about those details yet though!).  Make sure to save your FSC Profile document on your computer (in your folder for this class) so that you can find it again!

You have explored the benefits of and the barriers to authentic family engagement in this weeks readings.  Now I want you to think about what you have learned within the context of a very specific community.  For this assignment I want you to identify a REAL community that is either located in the state of Michigan or within the state/region where you currently live and work.  Consider this an opportunity to learn more about a place where you might like to work in the future or at least a place that shares characteristics with a place where you might like to (or already do) work.  What are the strengths of that community/district?  What resources are available?  What needs exist?

As you name and describe this community/district in your Profile, include current data and demographics including socioeconomic and cultural make-up of the community.  You should use online resources in order to gather the most current data and information.  Also, as you identify strengths, resources and needs, please address these three categories as they apply to young children, their families, teachers, the early childhood program/school, and the community.

Being thorough and detail oriented here, will help you later.
