Your task is to take one side of the argument and persuade your audience that you have well-founded knowledge of the topic being presented. It is important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims, as well as to refute the counterclaims to show that you are well informed about both sides.
Focus on the topic
Develop your argument using clearly stated reasons and relevant evidence
Organize your paper in a clear and logical manner that positions your claim in relation to other positions on the issue
Document all sources using APA format. Work hard to synthesize the information in your words and cite information as required.
Write in a style that is clear, not repetitive and uses correct grammar, spelling, sentence structure and punctuation.
You position paper must include the following sections:
Introduction- Introduce the topic and provide background information as to why it is relevant and how it relates to you academically, personally and globally.
Counterargument- Summarize the counterclaims. Provide information for counterclaims. Refute counterclaims and introduce evidence for your argument.
Argument- You must state a minimum of 3 claims. Each claim should give your educated and informed opinion and then provide support or proof for each point.
Conclusion- Restate your argument. Summarize without introducing any new information. The point is to reflect upon the information you presented and state a plan of action.

Explain in your own words what a dependent variable is, along with one that you want to measure, and any concerns about reliability or validity.

you will be asked to define, in your own words, what an independent and a dependent variable are, and how you can differentiate one from the other. Next, you will identify specific independent and dependent variables of interest within your topic of interest and why you selected these specific measures (reliability and validity might come into play here, so briefly define and describe these concepts and how they apply).
After clearly identifying and describing these variables, intentionally create a research question that needs some improvement (based on the five characteristics of good research questions that you read about this week in the PsycLearn module). To recap, these five characteristics include: a clearly defined relationship; variables of interest are described; the research can be conducted in a single study; the research question is falsifiable, and it is a worthwhile question. Once you provide a poor or weak research question, provide a stronger new and improved question, along with a brief analysis as to why this is a better research question to ask. Be sure to detail the five characteristics of a good research question in your response. Finally, conclude with a corresponding null and alternative hypothesis that directly aligns with your new and improved research question. Note that the null hypothesis should state that there is no effect, and the alternative hypothesis should state there is an effect in the direction that you expect.
Here is an example to help you to get a sense of what you want to do this week.
Research question (weak/poor): Is there is a connection between regular exercise and feeling good, as well as thinking clearly and enjoying life, and being happy?
Research question (stronger/improved): Is there is a strong positive correlation between getting regular exercise and self-reported measures of life satisfaction? (here, the relationship is more clearly defined).
Corresponding null hypothesis: There is no relationship between regular daily exercise of 30 minutes or more and self-reported measures of life satisfaction on the Life Satisfaction Ratings Scale (LSRS).
Corresponding alternative hypothesis: There is a significant positive correlation between regular daily exercise of 30 minutes or more and self-reported measures of life satisfaction on the Life Satisfaction Ratings Scale (LSRS).
Assemble these components in a Word file to prepare for your meeting. Here is a list to help you to remember to answer all parts of the questions this week. It is recommended you check off each item as you complete it for a thorough response.
Explain in your own words what an independent variable is, along with one that you want to explore more, and why it is important to do so.
Explain in your own words what a dependent variable is, along with one that you want to measure, and any concerns about reliability or validity.
Provide an intentionally weak research question using the identified independent and dependent variables.
Provide a new and improved version of this research question.
Describe the five characteristics of a good research question and how they are not all present in your original weak question but are present in your stronger new and improved version of your research question.
Provide a corresponding null and alternative hypothesis that aligns directly with your new and improved research question.
Length: 1-2 page summary of your work, along with a reference list
References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources for your written response.
The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards, conduct a Turnitin pre-check.

What types of sources would you examine to compare university life today with that of medieval times?

Examine the goals and reality of medieval education, especially as they apply to the university. Consider the following: the role of logic in education; the role of religion in education (scholasticism in particular); the proper methods and aims of education; and freedom of thought v. authority.
Then compare medieval and modern university life. What types of sources would you examine to compare university life today with that of medieval times?Choose three specific areas of comparison and three of contrast. Conclude with a discussion of each, citing specific evidence to support your assertions.

What is the natural reservoir for your microbe?

Instructions: For your pathogen of choice (list below), complete a minimum of 500 (not including citations) word paper covering the following topic: PORK TAPEWORM.
Name your microbe that causes the disease of your choice and describe the type of microbe (bacteria, virus, etc.). Include a physical description of the microbe and any other key identifying features.
Describe the type of microbe (bacteria, virus, etc.).
What is the natural reservoir for your microbe?
Are there certain lab techniques used to identify it? Explain.
What host/hosts can your microbe survive in?
Where can your microbe be found geographically?
Explain the disease, or diseases, caused by your pathogen. Be sure to describe the signs/symptoms of the infection.
How is an infection caused by your microbe contracted? Is it transmissible between people? Is it vectored? If so, what is the name of the vector and how does it transmit your microbe.
What is the time-line of an infection with your microbe? What is the length of the incubation period? Is it a chronic or acute infection? Do the symptoms change over the course of the infection?
What is the prognosis of an infection caused by your microbe? Are there any long term effect after (sequelae) after the infection has passed?
What are some of the most common treatments for this pathogen? How can it be prevented? Students must have a minimum of 3, credible sources as references for their papers. These sources must be from credible sources that are peer reviewed (validated by multiple people for their accuracy) such as textbooks, journals, and some websites. Websites are the most abundant and accessible source of information, but that also includes INCORRECT information that cannot be validated. Please be careful when using websites as sources because I will be checking your sources for accuracy. Additionally, you may want to use the SSCC Library (link found on the tabs on the left side of your Blackboard class page) which has access to 1000’s of potential textbook and journal resources.
You will need to reference your sources “In-Text” and provide a separate Works Cited page (does not count towards the word count of your paper).
