Many students say they have math anxiety. Math anxiety is a feeling of intense frustration or helplessness about one’s ability to do math.
There are many factors that can affect a person’s attitude about math and some of them are erroneous ideas or misconceptions. Many authors have addressed some math myths that are commonly accepted by the general public.

Math Myth #1: Aptitude for math is inborn.
For someone who truly thinks that their situation is hopeless because they didn’t get the “math genes,” ask them how they know. If they have never studied a foreign language, do they assume they don’t have the “foreign language gene?” A person may have a natural inclination to enjoy one subject more than another but that has little to do with an inborn ability in that subject. Mathematics skills are learned skills.
Math Myth #2: To be good at math you have to be good at calculating.
Mathematics today is a science of ideas, not an exercise in calculation. There are some people who are unusually gifted in doing lengthy calculations mentally but that is not a required skill for understanding math concepts. A calculator used properly is a tool that facilitates understanding since your train of thought does not have to be interrupted with calculations.
Math Myth #3: Math requires logic, not creativity
While math does employ logical thinking, so do many other subjects or tasks. How do you prepare a meal that includes both hot items and cold items that require various cooking and preparation times so that they all are ready at the same time? You use logical thinking to develop a plan and then carry out the plan.
Creativity and intuition also have a place in mathematics. Many mathematical theorems that were discovered and proved began with an intuition or speculation by someone.

Math Myth #4: In math, what’s important is getting the right answers.
In learning mathematics, understanding the concepts is what is most important. In situations when partial credit is given, you will earn more points for following a correct procedure than accidentally stumbling onto the correct answer. Technology tools can be used to perform calculations but you will have to provide the instructions (logical process) to the tool.
Math Myth #5: Men are naturally better than women at mathematical thinking.
This is a myth that keeps lingering on from societal misconceptions and pressures. Research has shown this to be false.
This is not an exhaustive list of math myths. There are others. Other resources may have an entirely different list with some overlap and with some new ones. You may also formulate your own. The key is to help students dispel these myths that may be interfering with the progress in learning math.
In a study that examined “The Relationships Among Working Memory, Math Anxiety, and Performance,” Mark Ashcraft and Elizabeth Kirk explain why. Ashcraft says “the most effective interventions for math anxiety are the cognitive-behavioral ones….The anxiety reaction is causing the problem, not some deep-seated deficiency at math. Math anxiety is learned, so it can be unlearned and overcome.”

Write a book review for “Questioning Evangelism.”

Prior to 9/11, intelligence and law enforcement were thought of as separate areas that did not necessarily overlap. Law enforcement is focused on bringing a criminal to justice, while intelligence is focused on national security and potential military action. ,
After 9/11 we changed the way we defined terrorism, and now we consider it both a threat to national security and criminal. Prepare a research paper that analyses the intersection and divergence of the intelligence and law enforcement communities. In your paper, you will:
· Identify the agencies and types of organizations involved in law enforcement and in intelligence.
· Identify the regulations that control law enforcement and those that control the intelligence community with respect to obtaining information and evidence, classic and electronic surveillance, questioning and capture. Compare and contrast. Consider the effects and reasons for these.
· Review the history of cooperation (or lack thereof) between the two fields. Discuss changes, progress, and remaining hurdles.

The chapter material puts the questions into their proper perspective so you do not misunderstand the meaning of the question asked of you.
Completely do a detailed college level chapter outlines on both chapter 7 and 8 with your notes showing that you thought about what you read . This would show me that you did critical thinking of the material as well as an application base for its use.
Chapter 7 questions:
Closely examine the “secret” interrogation of O.J. Simpson and explain what was asked, why, what was said and then what do you think and why.
Explain how interrogation differs from an interview and what this all means as well as the controversy associated with interrogation methods.
Completely explain both the Reid and the Peace Models of interrogations as well as what is similar as well as different between them.
Ho does the use of deception by investigators in interrogations can be problematic and how can it be useful.
Why do suspects confess and why would they falsely confess and how do we prevent this.
Completely examine the general theory underlying the detection of deception and identify the non verbal and verbal behavior that tend to indicate deception.
Examine the complete use of the polygraph examination and tell me what you think of its use.
Chapter 8 questions:
Completely examine crime scene profiling, geographical profiling, and psycho linguistics as a form of behavior analysis.
Explain the importance and usefulness of the distinction between MO and signature, and between trophies and souvenirs.
Explain how characteristics of the victim may reveal information about the offender.
Completely examine staging and its drawback as an investigative clue.

Remember you must think like an investigator with objective thing after thinking it through from all side (critical thinking)

All work in your own words and what you think about all the chapter material presented to you and why. Must show me that you understood the material by applying it to examples and the book in your world.

Reflection Paper #2: Using the text, Crucial Accountability, you will be making
some key discoveries about areas that you both succeed and struggle with in
keeping yourself and others accountable.
Introduction
• Answer, what is a crucial accountability?
After reading the textbook, take the self-assessment test (Appendix A, pp. 247-251) and look at your
results. The survey is divided in the seven chapters of the book that cover the crucial accountability skills
(five questions each).
• Look at your results chapter by chapter. • Choose two of the seven areas where you scored the most “yes” answers.
o Describe a crucial accountability situation that you experienced.
o Observe, analyze, and reflect on those two specific areas.
o Where in the process do the two areas for improvement exist for you?
(Choose What and If, Master My Stories, Describe the Gap, Make it Motivating,
Make it Easy, Stay Focused and Flexible, Agree on a Plan and Follow Up) • Does your MVS give you any additional insights as to patterns you have when it comes to
handling issues of accountability?
Conclusion
• Create your own best practices (examples are found in the text and the PowerPoint slides).
o List of how you can improve your accountability to yourself and others as you
navigate bad behavior and broken promises in your work/home/school/ life
relationships
