A schedule with the amount of time required for each training element.
Any resources needed for the training.

Your manager has approved the proposal you wrote for Part I. Now you
must develop the training materials. Create a PowerPoint presentation
with detailed notes for each slide that you would use for the department
training.

Format
PowerPoint (or other presentation software)
Length: 20 slides, plus references
Detailed notes for each slide: 100–150 words per notes page (7–10 pages)

Choose THREE of the following to answer. Your responses for each should be at least 5 sentences in length (or at least 15 sentences total), free of grammar, spelling, punctuation and capitalization errors. Please number your responses based on the number below.

Are emotional displays encouraged or discouraged at your workplace?
Have you ever been guilty of catastrophizing? What was the situation in which this happened?
Have you ever been a victim of the “cowboy syndrome?” What was your experience?
Describe a recent experience where you wanted to express your feelings to someone but you didn’t. Why didn’t you express the feeling? What barrier was in the way?
Recall a time where you got very angry at someone let them know right away that you were angry. Would it have been better to have waited? Looking back, do you think you could have used the SCREAM process to better help you address the situation?

With any intimate relationship comes conflict. What matters most in a relationship is how conflict is resolved. Do some research on conflict resolution other than what you have read in our textbook. What additional information can you provide that would help to promote conflict resolution.

Discuss the categories of disabling conditions. Are there misconceptions about disabilities? As a teacher, how can you help a student who is being bullied or challenged because of his/her disability?

The exam is timed (2hours) and consists of short essay questions (4). The exam is open format and you may use any materials you wish while taking the exam. No specific format is required for your answers, and you are not required to cite any sources. However, your answers must be entirely original, and any copy/pasting from outside sources will result in loss of credit.
Before you submit the quiz, you will have the opportunity to return to questions that you may have missed or have not yet answered.
You can submit your quiz responses at any time. However, if you submit your responses after the time limit expires, your attempt will be recorded as a late submission.

In the “music and” assignments, you are asked to re-conceive of the unit in your own unique way. For example, in Unit 1: Music as Ritual we study music associated with religious ceremonies and courtship, however, there are many more rituals in which we all regularly partake and in which music plays a part (e.g. studying, exercising, etc.). You will select three songs and describe them using the musical elements learned in the course, and then write a brief essay (1–2 pages double-spaced) explaining how these three songs can provide a new understanding of the unit. Think broadly about what the unit is about and be creative. A template for these assignments can be found on Canvas. See the Resources tab under Modules.

Short relection compare/ contrast paper (about 2 pages double spaced times new roman) over the two speakers- Alex Auerbach, Toronto Raptors & Nicole Linen, Denver Broncos. Compare and contrast the two Sport Psychologists in their occupation

Assignment 11: Chapter 11
1. Social reality is complex, and therefore, acquiring knowledge of it can also be complex. Throughout the course you have been introduced to a variety of methods with quantitative and qualitative methods being the primary divide presented. In this chapter, triangulation or the idea that more than one method may be needed to develop a better or more complete assessment of the social world is introduced. Using this premise, your task is to identify three separate methods that you could use to study either homicide or racism (you can choose which one you want to “study”), and then explain how you would go about using each method to study the topic of your choice.
To complete this assignment, you will need to do the following:
a) Provide a statement on which topic you are going to address.
b) Define the concept you are addressing (racism or homicide).
c) Identify and define three methods that you might use to observe the social manifestation of your topic. You need to include at least one quantitative and one qualitative method.
d) Write one or more paragraphs per method explaining how you would use the chosen method to study your topic.
e) Write a paragraph or more explaining how and why the combination of methods you chose is a better approach for studying the topic than just using one method by itself.
It would be a good idea to rely on the text and cite (quote) from it to support your statements and choices. You should also keep in mind that you are trying to explain these topics at the social not the individual level. This means that you should focus on shared characteristics, cultures, environments, etc. as the “causes” of racism or homicide, not individual characteristics (like psychological drives).

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of the Christian worldview, including the main topics you have covered up to this point. You will summarize and analyze the essential elements of the gospel (nature of God, nature of humanity, nature of Jesus, and restoration) and reflect on implications for the Christian worldview.
Write a 1,500-2,000-word essay using at least four resources. The four resources need to include at least two course resources (textbook, topic overviews, the Bible) and at least two other sources from the GCU Library to support your points. Remember, the Bible counts as one resource regardless of how many times you use it or how many verses you cite.
Begin your paper with an appropriate introduction, including a thesis statement to introduce the purpose of the paper. Present the gospel essentials (nature of God, nature of humanity, nature of Jesus, and restoration), the Christian foundation, and an analysis of the implications of the Christian worldview.
Nature of God: What is the triune God like? What are God’s characteristics? What is his creation?
Nature of Humanity: What is human nature? What is human purpose? What is the root cause of human problems?
Nature of Jesus: What is Jesus’s true identity? What was Jesus’s kingdom purpose? Why is Jesus’s identity and work significant for the Christian worldview?
Restoration: What is the solution to human problems according to the Christian worldview? What role do grace, faith, and repentance play in Christian salvation? How do Christians think that the transformation of self and society happen?
Christian Foundation: Summarize how the concepts of the gospel essentials (nature of God, nature of humanity, nature of Jesus, and restoration) constitute the foundation of the Christian worldview. In other words, how are these concepts essential to the Christian worldview?
Analysis of the Implications of the Christian Worldview: Based on the previous five prompts, analyze the implications of the Christian worldview by addressing each of the following questions:
What are the benefits or strengths of the Christian worldview as it relates to human value and dignity?
Compare the Christian concept of salvation in contrast to any other worldview perspective.
How the Christian worldview influence a person’s thinking and behavior?
What do people find troublesome or confusing about Christianity and why?
Conclusion: Synthesize the main points, pulling the ideas of the paper together.
