What specific low-level and middle-range arguments or theories might the archaeologist use to interpret this evidence?
What you do: You observe some human behavior on Television,Youtube, Facetime a friend, etc., (yes, I actually want you to watch someone do something on TV) selected to give you something interesting to discuss. You notice what material evidence this behavior leaves that future archaeologists might find. To do this, you might consider questions like: What material things are involved? What happens to them as a result? Which (if any) get into the archaeological record, and if they do, how, when, where, in what condition, and associated with what other things? How much of the evidence likely to be preserved after a few days, years, or centuries?
Then you consider how an archaeologist might interpret the evidence, and how well he or she might be able to reconstruct the behavior. For this, you might consider questions like: Could this particular instance of the behavior be reconstructed from the archaeological record? Could the existence of this behavior in general be reconstructed from the combined evidence of many occurrences? What specific low-level and middle-range arguments or theories might the archaeologist use to interpret this evidence? What aspects might he or she be likely to reconstruct correctly, what aspects would probably go unnoticed, and what aspects might be reconstructed incorrectly? Why?
You do this twice: once with behavior that could be at least partially reconstructed from the resulting evidence, and once with behavior that would be difficult or impossible to reconstruct.
Feel free to be creative about the behaviors you select!
What you turn in: You turn in a 2-3 page essay or report describing your observations, conclusions, and the reasoning behind them. Your description does not have to be encyclopedically detailed; insightful is better than exhaustive. It is OK to devote more than half of the paper to the reconstructable behavior, since you will probably have more to discuss about it.
Your paper should follow the same guidelines for written a good paper as your assignments did. Your papers should be 1.5 spaced and in 12 point font. Proof read your paper, there should be no spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. The project will be worth 160 points. Absolutely no late papers will be accepted.
What would you share with a friend/co-worker/fellow community member about these positions of power (i.e. what details associated with at least one office mentioned above catches your attention, and why)?
Say you were involved in conversation regarding the authority and responsibilities associated with central government at the state level. Considering the specialized content that will be tested on our next exam [the Executive, Plural Executive, or the Judicial Branch of TX Government]:
1) What would you share with a friend/co-worker/fellow community member about these positions of power (i.e. what details associated with at least one office mentioned above catches your attention, and why)?
2) What would be the ideal course of action from sharing this information with others (i.e. would you like people receiving this information respect the position more; to approach voting with a different attitude [should be noted – almost all positions mentioned are elected into office]; advocate for changes to identified position of influence; etc.)?
3) Will the exchange of information hurt or help individuals with access to “political power” (i.e. do you think people that learn more about how life works, especially when it comes to positions of political office, would become more politically active? And if yes, in what way(s) – encourage more people in their communities become registered voters; reach out the people in these political positions to advocate for economic/social changes; encourage people to run for office; volunteer for campaigns; etc.)?

The psychological phases of disaster response provide a useful framework for behavioral health providers and other agency professionals and community members to understand the psychological and emotional transitions throughout the disaster recovery process.
Below, identify and explain, with detail, a disaster response phase.
Select a disaster, either historic or modern day, and describe the selected psychological phase of disaster response exemplified in the chosen disaster.
Individuals present with physical complaints more in the case of chemical or biological events, these are often seen secondary to any psychological symptoms that may be present.
Discuss the phenomenon that is described above and how effective disaster behavioral health methods can be used to mitigate the strain on resources in disaster response circumstances when such presentations emerge.
Discuss the roles of risk and protective factors in disaster resilience as they are advanced in resiliency theory. Explain the most notable differences that might be observed in disaster response situations by behavioral health providers applying ideals of resiliency theory. Share your thoughts on whether resiliency theory offers an enhanced approach to disaster recovery for most communities.
Social support is a critical element in the disaster recovery process for each affected individual. Indeed, social support serves as a significant protective factor against PTSD and other psychological effects of disaster.
Discuss the concept of the social support network and its importance to the larger community following a disaster event.
How do benefits of the social support network compare to those of the social support seen at the individual level?

Explain the difference between response and predictor variables in a linear regression to justify the selection of variables.
Competencies
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
Apply statistical techniques to address research problems
Perform regression analysis to address an authentic problem
Overview
The purpose of this project is to have you complete all of the steps of a real-world linear regression research project starting with developing a research question, then completing a comprehensive statistical analysis, and ending with summarizing your research conclusions.
Scenario
You have been hired by the D. M. Pan National Real Estate Company to develop a model to predict median housing prices for homes sold in 2019. The CEO of D. M. Pan wants to use this information to help their real estate agents better determine the use of square footage as a benchmark for listing prices on homes. Your task is to provide a report predicting the median housing prices based square footage. To complete this task, use the provided real estate data set for all U.S. home sales as well as national descriptive statistics and graphs provided.
Directions
Using the Project One Template located in the What to Submit section, generate a report including your tables and graphs to determine if the square footage of a house is a good indicator for what the listing price should be. Reference the National Statistics and Graphs document for national comparisons and the Real Estate County Data spreadsheet (both found in the Supporting Materials section) for your statistical analysis.
Note: Present your data in a clearly labeled table and using clearly labeled graphs.
Specifically, include the following in your report:
Introduction
Describe the report: Give a brief description of the purpose of your report.
Define the question your report is trying to answer.
Explain when using linear regression is most appropriate.
When using linear regression, what would you expect the scatterplot to look like?
Explain the difference between response and predictor variables in a linear regression to justify the selection of variables.
Data Collection
Sampling the data: Select a random sample of 50 counties.
Identify your response and predictor variables.
Scatterplot: Create a scatterplot of your response and predictor variables to ensure they are appropriate for developing a linear model.
Data Analysis
Histogram: For your two variables, create histograms.
Summary statistics: For your two variables, create a table to show the mean, median, and standard deviation.
Interpret the graphs and statistics:
Based on your graphs and sample statistics, interpret the center, spread, shape, and any unusual characteristic (outliers, gaps, etc.) for the two variables.
Compare and contrast the shape, center, spread, and any unusual characteristic for your sample of house sales with the national population. Is your sample representative of national housing market sales?
Develop Your Regression Model
Scatterplot: Provide a graph of the scatterplot of the data with a line of best fit.
Explain if a regression model is appropriate to develop based on your scatterplot.
Discuss associations: Based on the scatterplot, discuss the association (direction, strength, form) in the context of your model.
Identify any possible outliers or influential points and discuss their effect on the correlation.
Discuss keeping or removing outlier data points and what impact your decision would have on your model.
Find r: Find the correlation coefficient (r).
Explain how the r value you calculated supports what you noticed in your scatterplot.
Determine the Line of Best Fit. Clearly define your variables. Find and interpret the regression equation. Assess the strength of the model.
Regression equation: Write the regression equation (i.e., line of best fit) and clearly define your variables.
Interpret regression equation: Interpret the slope and intercept in context.
Strength of the equation: Provide and interpret R-squared.
Determine the strength of the linear regression equation you developed.
Use regression equation to make predictions: Use your regression equation to predict how much you should list your home for based on the square footage of your home.
Conclusions
Summarize findings: In one paragraph, summarize your findings in clear and concise plain language for the CEO to understand. Summarize your results.
Did you see the results you expected, or was anything different from your expectations or experiences?
What changes could support different results, or help to solve a different problem?
Provide at least one question that would be interesting for follow-up research.
