Imagine you are a political writer with your own blog. You write about current events and what they mean for the U.S. government and its citizens. For this blog post you will choose an event from the last three months involving U.S. political issues or policies related to one of the following:
The U.S. President.
Congress.
Administrative departments.
Political activists.

To see ratings of news sources, visit Media Bias Ratings.
For the first part of your blog post, provide a brief summary of your chosen current event. You should be conscious of your own bias and make every effort to avoid biased, opinionated, emotional, or judgmental language in this summary. That means avoiding words such as always, obviously, clearly, etc.
This PDF contains helpful tips for avoiding judgment statements: Objective Language [PDF].
In addition to providing a brief summary of your chosen current event, your blog post should answer each of the following questions:
What specific branch of the U.S. government is involved in this current event?
Who or which groups are affected by this event?
What biases or leanings exist in the media source you chose? Give examples. Were these counterbalanced in any way?
What are your opinions on the issue?
Your blog post should be typed in a Word document and meet the following requirements:
A one- to two-paragraph summary of your chosen current event.
One to two paragraphs for each of the four questions provided (see above), for a total of at least four paragraphs.
Content of the blog is based on information from your selected news source or other reputable sources.
Two pages in length.
At least one quality reference (your selected news article) cited using the Strayer Writing Standard
Activity: A Policy You Would Change
This brief activity will serve as preparation for your last assignment, which is due next week.
If you could change any U.S. domestic policy today, what would it be? For this activity, choose a policy you would like to change, submit a brief explanation of the policy you would like to change, and identify three references to support this policy change. This is the same policy you will use to write your Final Reflection assignment (due next week).
Your policy choice will need to be approved by your instructor before you begin your Final Reflection assignment. Approval will be provided through your rubric score for this activity, after it has been submitted. If your policy and/or references are not approved you will need to read the instructor feedback and provide an updated policy and/or references to be approved before submitting your final assignment.
Here are just a few examples of domestic public policies to choose from:
Energy.
The environment.
Health care.
Social welfare.
Civil rights.
Death penalty.
Gun control.
Taxation.
Assisted suicide.
Affirmative action.
Minimum wage.
Drug legalization.
Immigration.
Hate crimes.
Capital punishment.
After selecting a policy you would change, identify references to support the policy change. Using skills you have learned previously in the course, search for articles from reputable sources that support your views, illustrate the severity or urgency of the need for change, discuss current events that make you think about the seriousness of the issue, etc. Remember to review the news sources provided earlier in the course and ensure any references selected outside of that list are reliable.
For your submission, create a Word document with your chosen policy and provide one short paragraph explaining why that is a policy you would like to change. Also include three references to support your policy change. This does not need to be formatted in SWS but will need to be formatted that way for the final assignment.
Create a five-paragraph self-reflection research essay of 500-750-words that includes: an introduction with a mapped thesis statement, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
The following sub-topics should be the basis of your thesis statement and three body paragraphs:
Explain how you can apply the knowledge learned in this course towards effective communication within your field of study.
Explain areas of strengths in communication you feel you will bring to your field of study.
Explain areas of opportunity that you can work on in regards to communication within your field of study and why developing these communication skills will be important to you personally.
You may use First Person point of view in the writing, as it is a personal reflection.

Assignment #1
The purpose of this assignment is to give you a brief introduction to the job analysis process. You will derive your job analytic information from one employee in a job of your choice using the interview method. The main purpose of your interview will be to get information about what KSAs are needed for a person to be a successful performer on the job.
After interviewing (and observing, if possible) the job, you will create a job analysis report on that job.
Your job analysis report should include the following FIVE sections. Label sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 with a section heading. For example, you should have a section heading for the second part, labeled “Interviewee/Organization Information.”
1. Cover sheet: Include a title (e.g., Job Analysis), your name, the date, and the course number.
2. Interviewee/Organization information: Include your subject’s name (can make up or use real name), level of education, tenure, and rating of job satisfaction (1 = I hate my job to 7 = I love my job). Also include the individual’s job title and what the organization does that the individual works for. Include information about how big or small the organization is, and how the individual’s job fits in with other jobs in the organization.
3. O*NET Job Description: Go to the O*NET web site (http://online.onetcenter.org) and look up the person’s job title, and job description. You may have to experiment with different job titles to find a close match. Please attach your findings to the report.
4. Knowledge, skill, and ability statements: Develop a list of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed to perform on the job (include 15-20 KSA statements). Do not just copy the information from the O*NET. Select the ones you believe are most relevant for the job. Write your KSAs clearly, be to the point, and do not be redundant. Sample KSA statements for the job of “medical technologist” have been included at the end of this assignment. After you have written your KSAs, you will need to meet with your subject one more time. First, have your subject review your KSA list for accuracy (have you stated anything that is not correct?) and comprehensiveness (are all KSAs represented?). Then have your subject rate each KSA on “How often is this KSA used on the job?” (1 = rarely used, 2 = sometimes used, 3 = often used, 4 = very frequently used). This section of your report, when finished, should include your final list of KSAs and the rating your subject gave each KSA.
5. What I learned from this project: Write at least three paragraphs about what you learned from this project. Include information about what you learned from meeting with your subject a second time (e.g., were some of your KSAs stated incorrectly?). Include overall information about whether you found this project to be useful or difficult. Then include at least one paragraph explaining why job analysis is important to Industrial Psychology and how the information you collected could be used.
Example KSA Statements for the Job of Medical Technologist
Following is a partial list of the KSAs used in the job of medical technologist to give you an idea of how KSAs are written. Note that each KSA statement starts with the word “Knowledge,” “Skill,” or “Ability.” To the left of each of your KSA statements you can include your subject’s rating (1 = rarely used, 2 = sometimes used, 3 = often used, 4 = very frequently used) of how often the KSA is used on the job. Be sure to provide the rating scale in your report to tell the reader what the ratings are referring to.
1. Knowledge of immunohematology, transfusion therapy, and phlebotomy.
2. Ability to conduct blood supply inventory and make judgments of present and predicted blood supply demands.
3. Ability to evaluate donor acceptability through an assessment of current health status and an interview concerning disease history.
4. Skill in blood collection process, including arm preparation, phlebotomy, and preparation of collection bags.
5. Skill to use standard laboratory instruments (microscope, centrifuge, platelet machine, and cell washer).
Consider the organization you work for today – or one that you worked for in the past. What kind of leadership development program or plan exists or existed within this organization? Is the organization positioned to grow its leaders? Is there a clear effort being made to prepare its existing staff for future leadership responsibilities? In two or three paragraphs, and using the material in Chapter 12 of our text, and the information you have gained to date from this course, what would you do differently to make sure the organization had the right individuals in place to lead it 5 – 15 years from now?
