H‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ow is the Texas Constitution changed? As you’ve read in your text, changes to the Texas Constitution are proposed by the state legislature, but can only be approved by a majority vote in a statewide election. In 2019, the legislature was able to reach a 2/3 majority in the House and Senate for ten proposed changes. Voters decided whether not to make each change in the November, 2019, election – approving nine out of ten. What other sorts of changes did legislators consider? The Texas Constitution, in accordance with the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (Links to an external site.), allows 18-year-olds to vote. What about people who turn 18 during an election year – before the November General Election, but after the party primary elections – generally held in March. They get to choose between Republican and Democratic nominees, but can’t take part in choosing who those nominees will be. To change this would require an amendment to the Texas Constitution, which starts with a joint resolution in either the Texas House of Representatives or the Senate. Last session, . 37 (Links to an external site.) would have amended our state constitution to allow 17-year-olds to vote in party primary elections as long as they turned 18 by the date of the November General Election. Earlier this year, . 12 (Links to an external site.), by Senator Judith Zaffirini, proposed the same change. Is that a good idea? What do you th‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ink? (Links to an external site.) Write an essay (2 – 5 pages, double-spaced, cited sources). Make sure your essay tells your reader: 1. The number and author of the joint resolution proposing this amendment this year. 2. What the proposed amendment would do. 3. Arguments for and against. 4. Who you think might be for it and against it. 5. How would you vote if you were a member of the legislature? 6. Had it passed the House and Senate, do you think Texas voters would have approved it? Cite your sources. Additional Resources Here’s the link to this session’s . 12: (Links to an external site.)

You can see how it did: If you look at the witness list from the hearing on . 50, you can see who testified for and against it: The National Youth Rights Association supports this: A group called FairVote supports this idea as well:

What is a dissenting opinion, and what did Justice Alito say in his? 5. If you were on the Supreme Court, how would you rule in this case, and why?

This is important! https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/First_amendment -The First Amendment to our Constitution guarantees the freedom of speech, but – as with other civil liberties – that freedom is not absolute. You can’t incite specific acts of violence. You can’t reveal military secrets during wartime. You can’t slander people without consequence. You can, however, express just about any opinion you wish, even when that opinion causes great distress to other citizens. An example is the Westboro Baptist Church, a small church near Topeka, Kansas, whose members protest against homosexuality at the funerals of American soldiers. -In March, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari (look it up) in a case entitled Snyder v. Phelps, concerning whether the First Amendment protects the pastor (Phelps) and members of Westboro from an “intentional infliction of emotional distress” lawsuit filed by the father (Snyder) of a fallen soldier whose funeral was the subject of a pro‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌test rally. The Court listened to oral arguments in October, and issued an 8-1 opinion on March 2, :// -Please read the majority opinion and the dissenting opinion all the way through. *Submit a three to five-page essay about the case.* Some issues to make sure you cover: 1. What is the case about? 2. What were the key issues? 3. What did Supreme Court majority decide and why? 4. What is a dissenting opinion, and what did Justice Alito say in his? 5. If you were on the Supreme Court, how would you rule in this case, and why? 6. In your opinion, should there be any limits on the freedom of speech? If so, what should they be, and why?

Explain the strengths and limitations of the data sources in your operationalization matrix including a rationale.

A‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ssignment: Assessment and Evaluation: Programs and Institutional, Part 3 An operationalization matrix can be considered the roadmap of an evaluation. It is completed by evaluators and stakeholders before data collection begins in order to clarify decisions about the evaluation questions, data needs, variables, and data analysis. With the metaphor of a roadmap in mind, the operationalization matrix gives a program evaluation a distinct plan and direction. Also, it assists evaluators in clarifying the scope of a program evaluation. For this Assignment, you complete the next phase of planning for your program evaluation by completing an operationalization matrix. To prepare for this Assignment, read the instructions included in the Operationalization Matrix Planning Tables Template‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ document and consider the information required to complete the matrix. Then, review the insights gained regarding your data sources analyzed in this module’s Discussion. Assignment length: 4–5 pages Complete the Operationalization Matrix Planning Tables Template document. Provide a summary to explain your completed operationalization matrix. Explain the strengths and limitations of the data sources in your operationalization matrix including a rationale. Explain insights gained through the process of analyzing and evaluating data sources. Be sure to consider the implications for organizations and systems as they relate to the program being evaluated. Include citations to Learning Resources and/or other peer-reviewed journal articles to support your decisions and conclus‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ions.

Identify key features of your dataset to help determine which parts have predictive power.

conduct a typical machine learning research project, evaluatethe results, and write an academic research paper. You will need to decide on two things1) A topic in which you would like to conduct research and predict a result2) Where you can obtain this dataOnce you have identified your problem area and gathered your data, you will be required to apply at least 1 machine learning algorithm to the dataset. You may choose multiple if it helps for your analysis. These may be any from the course textbook whether regression, classification, or clustering. During the evaluation, identify key features of your dataset to help determine which parts have predictive power.
