Dealing With Data

Dealing With Data
Data-based decision making is a pillar in the field of ABA. As a BCaBA you will collect data and use that data (under the supervision of a BCBA) to determine if your current course of action is appropriate or needs any changes.
For this discussion, choose and respond to two of the following questions:
What do you think is the most important reason to use data to make decisions and why?
How do you use data to determine if changes (minimal or extreme) should be made?
What are some ways that you can talk with caregivers or teachers when discussing the importance of collecting data?
What should you do if you suspect that the data being collected are inaccurate?
What are some ways that you can overcome push back from caregivers or teachers when it comes to data collection or altering an intervention based on that data collection?
How could you approach your BCBA supervisor in a professional manner, if you believe the data are not being collected on the right aspect of a particular behavior?

Dual Relationships and Ethics

Dual Relationships and Ethics
A dual relationship is one of the most common ethical concerns within the field of ABA. As a BCaBA who is implementing services in home-, center-, school-, or community-based environments, you will need to be able to form a trusting relationship with the family while maintaining a professional feel. This requires walking the very thin line between professional and personal relationship. Use this space to discuss times or situations in your career that you have been put in a situation where a dual relationship was likely. How did you handle that situation? Did you find that you were engaging in a dual relationship? If so, how did you handle that situation? If you have never found yourself in this situation, please discuss a potential situation you may encounter in the future.

What kinds of barriers each group faced which prevented them from exercising their rights or gaining true equality/freedom in the USA,

Final Essay – Due December 17th by 11:59pm
Requirements:
· Your essay should be at least four pages double-spaced, in reasonably-sized font such as Times New Roman 12-point font
· Your arguments should be supported by specific, detailed evidence and information from the course
o By “specific, detailed evidence/information” I mean that you should include names, dates, or other specific information so that your reader will know exactly what you’re talking about.
o Instead of writing something vague like “the time when Black people were getting attacked by white people”, be specific—say “the Tulsa Race Massacre” or “the Red Summer”. Use the terms/names that we discussed in class, and use dates (or at least specific years) to make it clear which events you’re talking about.
· No outside research is required, so I will not be requiring citations or a bibliography; you should use the information and materials from the course to supply your evidence. However, if you choose to include information from other internet resources, I will expect you to use in-text citations and include a bibliography/works cited.
Writing Prompt:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” –Ronald Reagan
“I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free… so other people would be also free.” –Rosa Parks
The concepts of freedom, equality, and rights are very much intertwined. Rosa Parks, for example, fought for her rights as a citizen, as a way to gain greater freedom and equality in American society. Near the beginning of your essay, you should define what you mean by the terms “freedom”, “equality”, and “rights”. You may use definitions you agree with that you find on the internet, but if you do, you will need to cite your sources.
In your essay, explore how these three concepts are connected, and how different groups throughout 20th century American history have struggled for greater freedom and equality as well as recognition of their rights. You could examine these concepts along the lines of race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or even socioeconomic class (e.g. workers’ rights). Make sure to explore:
1) What kinds of barriers each group faced which prevented them from exercising their rights or gaining true equality/freedom in the USA,
2) What methods each group used to overcome these barriers and gain their rights and freedoms,
3) How (by what laws, court decisions, or other mechanisms) those rights and freedoms are protected and guaranteed today
4) What barriers, if any, still remain today preventing these groups from being truly “equal” in US society
Choose at least three groups to examine in depth. You may choose groups/examples from any period of 20thcentury American history. Each argument you make should be supported with plenty of specific details, case studies, and historical evidence from our class materials. Additional research is not required, although if you decide to do some extra research (particularly to answer question #4), you will need to cite your sources in-text as well as include a bibliography or works cited at the end of your paper.

Inside the mind of a cybercriminal

In previous lectures we discussed what a global cyber threat is as well as who is a cyber criminal. However, these a simply definitions and explanations of WHAT they are, not WHO they are. For this assignment, the goal is for you to dive into the mind of a cybercriminal, exploring their potential motivations and backgrounds.

For this assignment, prepare a short paper that is 2-3 pages double spaced with a professional cover page and bibliography (cover page and bibliography do not count towards the page limit). In this paper, treat it as a short report or briefing to senior leadership within your organization. Outline who these potential threat actors are and why it is important for us to understand them. Provide a brief detail of what constitutes a cybercriminal (the what), but be sure to focus more on the “who” aspect.

Utilize at least 3 professional references (wikipedia does not count) such as academic journal articles, news reports, government websites, consulting firm white papers etc. to help you build this profile and support your work.
