Overview
As we finish up the module on human error, let’s combine the 60-80% human error statement and what we learned from Dr. Dekker on the two views and countermeasures of human error.
Compare and contrast the 60-80% human error statement with new views on human error. Choose and support a position on whether the 60-80% human error statement is accurate and if it aligns with either of the two views on human error. Also discuss whether the accident trend will continue to decrease to zero. You will be issued credit for the assignment if you:

Interview – A Day in the Life
Introduction
This assignment is meant to help you discover some of the aspects of your chosen career that may not be all that evident to people looking in. Any career has things about it that are only seen by people in that industry. By interviewing someone who actually does what you want to do in the near future, you will be able to prepare for the unexpected and may not be surprised, or worse, blindsided, by the unexpected aspects of the job.
The first task is to find someone to interview. This isn’t as scary as you may think. In fact, you likely have family, friends or acquaintances who have the job you would like. It is really amazing what you can discover when you ask the right questions. Even from someone you live with.
Once you have contacted your subject (see interview guidelines), set up a time to meet. Make sure to make it as easy as possible for your interviewee. Remember they are doing you a favor. Below is a list of question ideas for interview. Feel free to add or change the questions to meet your needs. Don’t forget the purpose is to learn things you don’t already know. To get an idea of an acceptable day in the life interview, revisit the video interviews presented by the course.
Once you’ve completed the interview you’ll need to prepare it for submission. If you recorded it you can look into uploading the video and submitting a link, but you will need permission from your interviewee to do so. Otherwise you can prepare a written summary or slide presentation that will summarize your interview. Whichever method you choose, your submission needs to include the following:
The questions you asked and the corresponding responses.
Your impressions of the interviewee.
What you learned from the interview.
If you are uploading a video, you’ll need to record your responses and add it to your submission.
Submission
Upload your completed interview by the due date. You can use any of the following to submit your assignment:
Powerpoint with adequate slides
Written summary
However, there is a limit to the file size you can upload to the course. If your presentation or video are more than 50 megabytes in size than you should upload them to an external site like YouTube and upload a file with a link for your instructor to view. Make sure you make your files public if uploading to another site so your instructor can access them.
Early or middle adulthood
Locate a peer-reviewed article from the GCU library that discusses a topic relevant in early or middle adulthood. Explore your textbook for some relevant topics if you are having trouble determining a topic to explore.
In 500-750 words, do the following:
Summarize the major tenets of the article.
Apply a psychological theory to the topic you selected.
Discuss a personal reaction statement related to the article. The length of the personal reaction should match that of the major tenets (no short “I enjoyed this article” responses). Describe specifically what you liked or did not like about the article and explain why you believe that way.
Use two to three scholarly resources to support your explanations.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

In your experience, what aspects of writing do you excel at? Struggle with?
Writing is often the bane of a student’s existence, so I’m sure many of you have looked upon your upper-division writing requirement with trepidation.
The majority of this course is focused on the practice of writing formally and your writing reflections are no different. Where they do differ, though, is that they specifically push you to reflect upon yourself as a writer, offering you an ability to utilize personal experience and viewpoints as the explicit basis to think of the practice of writing.
For your first writing reflection, I want you to address the following:
From your vantage point, what is the purpose of writing?
In your experience, what aspects of writing do you excel at? Struggle with?
How have you overcome those struggles? (Or, if you haven’t, why haven’t you?)
Make sure to incorporate examples. Note that this is personal reflection. This means that there aren’t wrong answers so we are focused on your attention to detail, explication, and general argumentation.
Please write this in Times New Roman size 12, double-spaced, one-inch margins in approximately three pages.
