The Assignment
For the writing assignment, read Hammurabi’s Law Code uploaded here Download here. Consider these questions: What does Hammurabi’s Code tell us about Babylonian social organization? Does the law code differ based on who you are? What underlying assumptions about justice do you see reflected in these laws?

You are also expected to provide an original thesis statement (not a restatement of the questions) and a clear argument. You are expected to draw on the texts in formulating your response but you are not expected to do additional research online. You may cite outside sources however you like (footnotes, in-text citations), but be consistent with formatting. Turnitin.com is the plagiarism service the University uses, and all submissions are run through this system. Please do not google the questions and then cut and paste answers. I usually catch that even if Turnitin does not. You will fail the assignment and be reported as a cheater.

This is a two-page writing assignment (about 500 words) in response to the questions above. Use a format of double spaced lines, use a 12 point font, and place your name and the week number at the head of the document.

Submit your paper through the Canvas Assignments tab.

Surgical site infection project

See attached ruberic.

Some reminder points to include.
Population pediatric patients since I work at a pediatric hospital.

Ways to prevent surgical site infections in my plan: proper hand hygiene, keeping surgical field sterile at all times. Setting up and during procedure. Making sure there is minimal traffic throughout room during surgery. Checking instruments for sterility. Making sure child does not get hypothermic. And applying final dressing in a sterile manner.

My plan is to for a committee to discuss these matters and what is found during audits and then disseminate this to surgical team and the quality control committee. My original presentation to disclose this plan is this month and I will be presenting a poster. To do so. I may have more instructions in the morning but the website is currently down.

Project Proposal about a study: The Effect of Social Media on Self-Esteem

The following provides a brief description of the format for the research proposal. If you have any questions, just ask us! Your proposal should be approximately 5 pages. This should be similar in length to your previous two lab reports.

Title
What is the take-home message of your study – in 12 words or less?

Abstract
One of the differences between proposals and reports is that proposals lack abstracts!

Introduction (1-1 1/2 pages)
What research question are you investigating? Why is it an important question? Why should thinking and decision making researchers care? Remember to draw your reader in! What have other researchers found? Unlike the weather lab report, for this report you will need to examine the relevant literature. We will be requiring more sources for the final report than for the proposal. For the proposal, you need to use at least 2 sources. For the final report (group project), we will require 6 or more sources. To summarize, as with any research report, the introduction is where you make a case for why your hypothesis is important (to science), interesting (to the reader) and different (from what has been done). It is also where you develop your hypotheses and explain your reasoning for the hypotheses and the study. Remember to outline AND explain each hypothesis.

Method (1 – 1 1/2 pages)
How do you plan to run the study? Using an appropriate level of detail, explain how you expect the study will proceed.

Participants – How many do you need for your study? What sample population (e.g., approximately equal numbers of female and male college students) do you intend to use?

Materials/Procedure – Are you using any special equipment? Are you developing a survey? Describe the materials you will be using. Because you will be refining your ideas during the group stage of the project, at this point you can describe the types of questions you will ask, rather than reporting the exact wording (e.g., saying that “participants will respond to questions about their current mood” is probably sufficient at this point).

Expected Results and Proposed Data Analysis Plan (1/2 – 1 page)
What results do you expect? Which ones will be important to your hypotheses? What statistical analyses would you need to use? This part is important. You may discover that you don’t know how to analyze the data you propose to collect. If that is the case, you should probably review your methods so that you can carry out the analysis. Be sure to think about what questions do you want your statistical analysis to answer? You should include rough figures of what you hope your results will look like. What alternative results could you find? What would they mean for your hypothesis: Would they disconfirm? Would they be silent (neither confirm nor disconfirm)?

Conclusion (1 page)
What do you hope to be able to conclude? What would be the implications of and applications for your findings?

References
Cite all of your references using the correct APA style!

Appendix (optional)
This is where you would include detailed information about your materials (e.g., sample surveys). For this proposal, we are not requiring that you do this. You will work on this aspect of the research with your group. If you do have materials in mind for use and wish to include them you are welcome to do so. If your project is selected, just remember to be flexible when it comes time to work with your group to decide upon the final set of materials.
The following provides a brief description of the format for the research proposal. If you have any questions, just ask us! Your proposal should be approximately 5 pages. This should be similar in length to your previous two lab reports.
Info for IRB
Because we will not be submitting these proposals to the IRB, you will not have to complete the IRB application process. In lieu of a full IRB, please include a brief statement explaining why your research is not a risk to the participants in the study. The statement should appear on a separate page after your References (and Appendix, if you have one), and only be a few sentences. It should include a sentence or two about the nature of the materials you will be using and their potential impact on subjects. It should also include a statement about how participants will be identified (i.e., anonymity) and the voluntary nature of participation (i.e., participants can leave at any time).

Tables and Graphs
Make sure to include graphs of your expected results. Obviously, you will not have exact numbers, but try to show the expected direction and strength of your results. For a correlation, this would mean showing a scatter plot indicating the approximate correlation coefficient expected. You can use the following guidelines – weak correlation = 0 to .3, moderate correlation = .3 – .5, strong correlation = .5 – .9. The correlation you indicate and graph should fall within the range you expect to find. For a means comparison, you should show a bar graph indicating the approximate direction and magnitude of the expected difference in means. Think about what kind of differences you expect. Do you expect one mean to be 2x higher? 3x lower?. Please include a graph of the expected results for tests of each hypothesis. All graphs should be clearly and correctly labeled. You can use R or Excel to make your graphs (or any other program you are comfortable with).

Chapter Five The Importance of Implementing a Data Strategy

*Read the article and watch the accompanying video.
I have uploaded the video: “Understanding Inquiry as Stance Illustration and Analysis of One Teacher Researcher’s Work”
by: Nancy Fichtman Dana, University of Florida

“Good research is about more than generating good test scores or showing the relation between one’s teaching practice and one’s students’ performance on state tests” state the textbook authors.

*** Directions:
*Answer the following questions, Justify your responses to the following questions using evidence from the article, the video and your textbook.

1. Which data strategy listed in Chapter Five would YOU use to strike a balance between our country’s emphasis on test scores and other sources of data you collect on a consistent basis?

Provide a detailed response of how you would incorporate the data strategy in two ways:

2. By implementing the data strategy you chose, how would it impact instructional planning for your students?

3. By incorporating the data strategy you chose, how would you communicate your findings regarding academic growth to your students so they have the necessary data to improve their ownership of a particular standard?

Based on the definition of transformational leadership in this chapter:
What aspects of the implementation of the Friendship Bench and the effectiveness of the grandmothers do you see as related to the transformational leadership processes? Explain why.
Are there aspects of this process outlined in this case study that you would classify as transactional leadership? Why?
Charisma and its relationship to transformational leadership was discussed at length and outlined in Table 8.1. View Dr. Dixon Chibanda’s 2017 TED Talk at www.ted.com/talks/dixon_chibanda_why_i_train_grandmothers_to_treat_depression and respond to the following:
Do you perceive Dr. Chibanda to be a charismatic leader? Why or why not?
What about the grandmothers? What characteristics of charismatic leadership, if any, would you ascribe to them? Explain your answer.
Bass suggested that “charisma is a necessary but not sufficient condition for transformational leadership.” Based on the elements of this case study, would you agree or disagree? Why?
How do each of the leadership factors of idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration relate to this case
Bennis and Nanus expanded on the transformational perspective by identifying four common strategies for transformational leaders. Discuss how each of these relates to Dr. Chibanda and the grandmothers:
Clear vision
Social architect
Creation of trust
Creative deployment of self
Kouzes and Posner identified five fundamental practices of transformational leaders. Discuss how these apply to this case:
Model the way
Inspire a shared vision
Challenge the process
Enable others to act
Encourage the heart
The chapter lists seven criticisms of the transformational leadership model. Select three of these and address them with respect to this case.
