UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
Communication as both an information transfer effort and social
bonding measure is practiced across a number of animal
species. Of course, communication among humans is
unmatched and remains an underpinning of our civilization from
ancient times until now. The communication process is always
the same: The sender has a message and encodes it a certain
way to transmit it clearly to an intended receiver or multiple
receivers. The receiver, with knowledge of messages,
succeeds in receiving and then understanding the message
(Nistorescu, 2012).
What can go wrong? Almost everything, as we learn from our
social or procedural communication blunders starting from
childhood. It stands to reason that the ability to communicate
effectively is a key component in the mosaic of skills leaders
must master to be successful managers. Scholars and other
experienced authors routinely address issues of professional
communication in their writings.
Communication is a huge subject and is more than can be
covered in this course. The following points are but a brief
overview of how to achieve effective communication in the
professional environment:
Be brief and clear. Lengthy descriptions and explanations
add detail and can help us look impressive, but stop. For
understanding, there is no better way to serve the organization than to communicate brief and clear
messages. Managers do well to speak and write clearly and not too much.
Be professional. A self-controlled and businesslike demeanor is the hallmark of professionalism and
is reflected in efficient, purposeful, and unemotional communication. As managers, we can violate this
by including anger, frustration, smugness, glee, distaste, or panic in our communications.
Be correctly understood. The sender will always understand more about the transmitted message
than the receiver. Communications are better when reviewed and refined so they fit the purpose and
intended effect as closely as possible. We often practice this skill on the spot by choosing our words
or refraining from speaking at all! Written communication, though, such as email or social media, is
more enduring and requires more deliberate effort to avoid confusion or adverse reactions.
Communicate for a purpose. Managers generally have too much to do in the time available. For that
reason, a manager should ask before sending communications of any kind (spoken, written): Do we
need this communication? What purpose will it serve? These questions may also help prioritize
communications.
There are many good reasons for communicating. One may be to help motivate others as part of an ongoing
leadership effort. As with communication and leadership, the practice of motivating others with the purpose of
fostering a willing performance toward an established goal has been unchanged since antiquity. The practice
of good communication is integral to the art of motivation.

My line graph is a bit wonky. I am not Excel proficient. I need it to be ABA formatted.

The subject is workplace contingencies. I am looking to show reinforcers used, reveal gaps, and show behavior change during intervention and following (generalization)
I am going to forward about 20 sources, however, I am struggling with sources. I think at least 10 that support my position and 2-3 to argue the null.

Throughout this course, you will be utilizing and applying tactics, strategies, concepts of project management, and strategic planning in conjunction with a research project. All criminal justice agencies experience programs, planning, and research that deal with current or future issues. Most organizations ask their leaders to develop initiatives for the current and future timeframe, which will help the organization achieve its objectives and goals. In your final assignment, you will conduct a research and analysis project about an initiative you would implement based on a topic of your choice.

Your project will entail:
Identifying a criminal justice/law enforcement initiative to be planned for this project
Conducting the research, including gathering quantitative data from a suggested website, which you will evaluate, collate, analyze and synthesize.
Outlining the process you will follow utilizing research, your education, and life experiences you have obtained up to this point, resulting in a plan of action to implement your project
Determining an evaluation of the project based on your expectations and those of the stakeholders.

The final product will be a paper that is 10-15 double-spaced (no less, no more!), APA formatted pages, including an abstract page.

Yes, it is a big project, but you will build this project a little at a time throughout the 8 weeks we are together. The interim assignments will be the foundation for successful completion and submission. Adjustments may be necessary along the way depending upon the topic and expected outcome. You will likely have to rearrange and integrate your mini-assignments to create a cohesive final product. The requirements for your Criminal Justice Capstone are:
Propose a non-experimental research topic rooted in a criminal justice/ law enforcement issue. (See the suggested topics provided below for inspiration)
Identify an agency or organization, where you would like to implement a criminal justice/law enforcement initiative with an organization in the private or public sector organization such as a police department, an educational/civic police partnership, state or federal agency, etc. (it may also be a generic organization such as a local police department).
Provide a description of this organization (size, demographics, jurisdiction, purpose)
The need for this initiative.
Define the stakeholders of the initiative, including the target audience.
Literature Review and Data Presentation
Identify the data you will need to collect.
Conduct and write a literature review highlighting the pertinent trends, thresholds (tolerances) and research appropriate for your initiative.
Collect data and provide a descriptive analysis of that data, which supports the need for the initiative.

Summary of the meaning of your literature review and data analysis
Plan for implementing your initiative
Evaluation plan
Be sure to read the criteria, by which your Criminal Justice Capstone paper will be evaluated, before you write the paper, and again after you write your paper.

Your answer should have proper introduction, main body and conclusion. Cite sources of your data properly and have a list references that you have used at the end of the essay. Writing without citation of sources will be severely punished.

Maximum length: 10 pages exluding references; font size; 12 ; spacing: double; Font face: Tmes New Roman

Only 150 words required. No sources required.

“Go out into the real world and be a passive observer. This could be at a playground, at a dog training center, at a daycare, out in nature, anywhere you can observe one of the learning theories we’ve discussed so far in this course out in the real world. Accurately describe the learning theory in action, label the components, and tie it back in with research from cited journal articles. You’ll be writing this in APA format, and using an introduction and conclusion. If you observe multiple learning theories in one scenario, you are welcome to mention the others as well, as it pertains to the situation. Be sure to be thorough and accurate with your descriptions and observations and be able to tie them into the topics we have covered thus far. 12 pt. Times New Roman font, double spaced, APA style.”

Topics discussed:
From the earliest research of Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov, in 1890 with his salivating dog studies, to the most recent studies on adult learning; science has gathered so much data about how information is absorbed and applied, as well as how our behaviors and thoughts are shaped along the way. Over the years, several theories have been formed concerning:
How we learn new information
How our behaviors and thought patterns develop
How information is stored, retrieved, and applied
The Behaviorism Theory of Learning was the first learning theory developed by doctors and psychologists between the late 1800s and the early 1900s when Pavlov first discovered that he could manipulate the triggers that caused his dog to salivate.
aversive control. and the Cognitivism Theory of Learning, based on ideas from the Information Processing Theory developed by psychologist, George Miller, in 1956 as well as from Jean Piagets Theory of Cognitive Development formed in 1936.
basics of the Constructivism Theory of Learning which was largely influenced by the ideas of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky.

Do you think operant conditioning is effective while being influenced by consequences? Distinguish between positive and negative reinforcement. While growing up, do you think your parents used a continuous reinforcement schedule or a partial reinforcement schedule? Do you think that the partial reinforcement schedules are always effective in learning? Why or why not? Share a time you learned something by shaping or modeling. Did it result in long term learning?
