Discussion Topic:
What are some of the key attributes of effective groups? Ineffective groups? When are ambidextrous organizations designs necessary? What are some of the their key attributes? (Chapter Ten/Eleven)

Part 1:
Web assignment: Students will investigate two websites, one that deals with job placements and another that offers career testing and/or counseling. Using the Blackboard Forum discuss whether or not you feel that this site is an appropriate resource, discuss the benefits/drawbacks of each site, and address any ethical concerns that might be applicable to these sites. It would be appropriate to cite ACA standards regarding ethical concerns.

Part 2:
Career Information Search: Using Internet sources find 3 sites that could provide information to an individual interested in the following career.
1. Nurses in North Carolina

MUST BE IN APA FORMAT 7TH EDITION. MUST HAVE CORRECT PUNCTUATION, DOI, CAPS ETC.

please see the attached guidelines. please choose a health or public health policy and locate 2 viewpoints supporting the policy and 2 points against it. use factcheck.org and other reputable sources to verify facts. create a 500 word response summarizing the 4 viewpoints including a description of factual descrepencies noted. write your opinion in support or against the policy with reasonable arguments. avoid emotionally charged rhetoric and be sure to check the facts.

Your goal is to describe, with the help of scholarly sources, the history, context and meaning of a cultural practice from a culture outside of your own. Try to understand and carefully describe the cultural practice, what it is, what it does, what the relevance is, how it fits into the culture and how it developed.

No need for comparisons or moving outside of your chosen culture. Stay rooted. There is going to be a second part of this assignment, based on a prompt that I will give you after the first part is submitted.

The requirement is five pages. Grammar, spelling and formatting all matter. Follow basic MLA or APA guidelines for all of this. This is a major assignment in a college class; treat it as such. Plagiarism will lead to an automatic “F” in the class.

Use double-spacing, 1-inch margins and a regular 12-point font. No need for a “cover page” and the bibliography is not part of the page count.

Include a bibliography of all cited and used sources. No need for the annotations and you can change the list of sources as needed (because you found something important or because of my feedback to the Annotated Bibliography). Again, use MLA or APA standards. No long URL for proxys.

Essay length: 1,000–1,200 words (Only including the essay text itself, not references)

1. Find at least four reputable secondary sources and review them carefully. At least three of these sources should be a peer-reviewed journal article.
2. Based on the information you found in your research, as well as your own brainstorming, develop a straightforward thesis that is sufficiently limited in scope (meaning that you can do justice to it in a short essay of 1200 words max).
3. As you write, integrate information from your research. Of the six sources you located and reviewed in Step 2, choose exactly four secondary sources to use within your essay, and then add quotations and paraphrases from them. Every time you paraphrase or quote, follow these four steps to cite and integrate the source properly:
a. Introduce the source.
b. Present the research.
c. Credit the source parenthetically.
d. Discuss.
In other words, include “quotation sandwiches” and “paraphrase sandwiches” in your essay. Don’t just drop in quotations or paraphrases from sources into your essay. (Some experts call these “hit-and-run quotations,” “dropped quotations,” or “floating quotations.”)
4. Create a bibliography that lists every source you cited in your essay. (In MLA style, this page is titled “Works Cited”.)

Classification-Division Essay Topic
Reminder: In a classification essay, focus on identifying and describing types or categories for a specific purpose—and providing examples of each category or type.
Question: Identify a specific movie genre, i.e., horror. Classify and describe three well-recognized sub-genres of horror genre movies. Specifically, focus on the following three sub-genres: supernatural horror, slasher horror, and psychological horror.

Checklist for Expository Research Essay
After you have drafted your essay, use the checklist below to evaluate how well your essay meets the requirements:
• Did you use MLA guidelines to format your essay?
• Is your thesis stated in the last sentence of the first paragraph?
• Is your thesis statement a direct-list thesis statement (i.e., does it contain an essay map or preview statement, a parallel-structured short list of the main points that will support your claim)?
• Did you check that your thesis statement does not contain phrases such as “I think,” “I believe,” “This essay will be about…,” or “My essay will explain…”?
• Does each body paragraph have a topic sentence, at least two supporting points, and a non-repetitive closing sentence?
• Did you use a transitional word, phrase, or sentence at the beginning of each body paragraph? Did you use transitional words and phrases as necessary to connect sentences within your paragraphs?
• Did you integrate research from 4 reputable sources into your essay?
• Did you introduce your sources properly? Did you present your sources according to MLA formatting requirements? Did you credit your sources parenthetically? Did you discuss the quotation or paraphrase? (If you don’t understand these questions, please contact your tutor for help.)
• Does each in-text citation properly match the corresponding entry on the Works Cited or References page? Check this very carefully—remember that the first word of the citation must match the first word of the corresponding entry.
• Did you format the in-text and Works Cited or References entries correctly? Did you check each citation against an example from the Purdue OWL or another reputable up-to-date source?

Evaluation of a Research Study

I. Initial submission:

This is the most crucial assignment for this course- the “boss level,” if you will. Use all the skills and knowledge you have gained throughout the semester to write this paper.

For this assignment you will choose one of the articles in Chapter 7 (NOT the appendix!) of the Jones & Kottler text

Using the template provided in Ch. 7 of Jones & Kottler and what you have learned from the course content, evaluate the study.
You will include specifics, details, examples, etc. from the chosen article, text, or other sources to support your evaluation. Pretend that your reader hasn’t read the article you have chosen; it’s your responsibility to ensure your reader understands why you have evaluated the article as you have. Don’t talk about the template itself in your paper. Do as the template suggests without referencing its existence. It’s important to treat templates as guidelines instead of rules. Just because the template looks a certain way doesn’t mean you have to stick to exactly what’s on the page. Your skills as a writer will help you produce great content far more than sticking to a defined format every single time will.
For example, rather than say, ‘The discussion section was clear’, you should explain HOW it was clear, and include details and specific information to support your claim that the section was clear. Ask yourself, “How would the person reading my paper know this if I don’t tell him/her?”
Your paper should:

Be organized
Be written in prose/essay format (not just the list of questions with an answer)
Follow APA format (see your style manual)
Include correctly cited sources*
Include a cover page and reference page
Be well written and include proper use of grammar and spelling.
*For the purposes of this paper, you should cite the article using the authors of the article, NOT the text book! Cite the article as if you found it in the journal in which it was published. Jones and Kottler did NOT write the articles. Cite them for info from the text, but cite the research study authors for anything from the article you chose. You should also use correct APA format (the text was published before the latest edition of the APA manual, so the citation in the text is not correct by current APA standards).

Ex:

Lemieux, P., McKelvie, S.J., & Stout, D. (2002). Self-reported hostile aggression in contact athletes, no contact athletes, and non-athletes. Athletic Insight – The Online Journal of Sport Psychology 4(3). Retrieved from http://www.athleticinsight.com/Vol4Iss3/SelfReportedAggression.htm

Also, since you are using the version in the book rather than the article from the journal, when citing direct quotes, just use the page number in the book. However, if you want to be more precise, you may use the pdf version from the journal which would include the page numbers appropriate from the journal. NOTE: The D’Cruz article online doesn’t have pagination so just use the page numbers in the book.

If you need assistance with writing, I encourage you to use the writing tutors in the CFAA

II. Revision

You will revise your paper based on the feedback I provide on your initial version.

The better job you do on your initial version, the less work you’ll have to do on your revision.

Considering there is not much time to get the revision done, it’s in your best interest to do a great job on the initial version!

Initial Revision Notes:
This is a very well-written, expertly organized essay. It really is beautifully written, Annie. The problem is, you didn’t submit this article to me for approval in advance. This is not an article I would have approved, frankly. It’s primarily based on education, as opposed to the allied health sciences. I’ll allow it this time, though.

You’ve done a wonderful job with your discussions. No declarative statement or argument posed is left unsupported- kudos to you. One major problem here is you haven’t discussed the study participants. This is hugely important when evaluating a research study.
You hone in on several very important points for analysis and include a lot of valuable discussions. However, there are several points I would like for you to include in your evaluation: bias, power and external validity. It’s imperative to expose possible sources of bias. It is human nature to be biased in some way, so it’s almost impossible to have absolutely no bias. The best you can do in an analysis is discuss the measures the author(s) took to mitigate sources of bias. Power has to do with a study’s sample size. Are there enough participants to be able to determine a statistical difference if a difference exists? Further, would you be able to draw solid, accurate conclusions from the data collected from this sample size? Basically, ask yourself whether or not the study is “underpowered.”
External validity forces you to look at the characteristics of the study’s participants. Is the participant pool diverse enough to be generalizable, or are there too many groups left out? Look at things like gender, race, socio-economic status, location, etc. Location is particularly important to evaluate because it can help you answer the following question: is this study uni-centered or multi-centered? (Are all the participants from the same place or multiple locations across the globe?). These things are what help determine the validity of a research study.

Please explain the following questions, providing clear responses to the questions and avoiding excessive economics jargon, with each question being approximately five to ten sentences in lengthPlease explain the following questions, providing clear responses to the questions and avoiding excessive economics jargon, with each question being approximately five to ten sentences in length

One aspect of professional development that educators can participate in is that of educational conferences. While you may at some point have participated in an educational conference as an attendee, you have the opportunity in this assignment to think as a presenter! This assignment will also provide you the opportunity to create or revise your Curriculum Vitae (CV) and cover letter.

In this assignment, you will take your discussion presentation you prepared for the staff meeting and convert it into a poster that you could use at an academic conference. As well, often when submitting a poster proposal you include a CV and cover letter that highlight your experience and research interests. If you created a CV and cover letter for a course in your program sequence, you may take this opportunity to revise and update those artifacts.

Historically, a conference poster session involves use of a large poster-board style document as a reference when speaking with conference attendees about your research or practical experiences with a topic. Increasingly, the poster session involves handouts in digital format transferred through QR codes or another medium and may involve a television or other screen display to communicate your research at an academic conference. Always, your poster presentation contains a title, introduction of the research question/s, overview of the research approach, results from the study or experience, and planned next steps in applying or expanding the study or experience. Additionally, the poster provides information about literature related to the poster topic, usually a selected listing of previously published articles that are important to the research, and a brief acknowledgement to those who helped with the study.

Your poster, in whatever format it is presented at the conference, is effective if it can be scanned and comprehended at a high level in around five minutes. Usually you will be present with your poster to explain points and answer questions in an authentic conference experience.

Using the Poster Presentation Template, create your assignment to meet the content and written communication expectations below. Upload your assignment to the course for evaluation and to your Folio.

NOTE: Including your CV or Cover Letter in your Folio is optional. Review the Folio Quick Start Guide for more details on how to access and use the UAGC ePortfolio tool.
