2D homework (10%) Scenario The college student radio station is looking for new collaborators. A friend of yours hosts a current affairs program there on Tuesday noon in front of the public. She knows that you enjoy new challenges and that you are currently working to hone your communication skills. So she asks you to collaborate on her show. Each month you will be expected to introduce a hot topic in a short five-minute speech. The task requires rigor and professionalism. Your intervention, which could be compared to an oral presentation, must remain informative. Thus, you will need to make sure you present your topic succinctly and clearly. Five minutes to deal effectively with a hot topic is very short! The show crew has been very clear with you that your intervention should briefly and objectively present a topical issue resulting from rigorous research. With the show crew, you discuss topics that you might cover in your first talk. At the end of the meeting, your mandate is unequivocal: you must prepare a short oral presentation on one of the following three topics: §Technology in the service of competitive sports§The increase in prescription drugs in Western societies§ Science at the service of forensic investigations You are now in the exploratory phase. You leaf through the newspapers, surf the Net. You are on the lookout. What topic could interest the audience more? All of the topics are interesting, but can they be presented effectively in a five-minute radio talk? Do you have sufficiently rich documentation to prepare your intervention? How do you make sure that the chosen topic interests the students present in the agora? Collaborating on a radio show is no easy task! Before you find yourself in front of a microphone, you notice that preparing a communication is a very important step and you decide to submit to it resolutely in order to get off on the right foot. Task to be carried out In order to subsequently present an informative oral presentation of 5 minutes (± 30 seconds), you must first describe the communication situation, carry out preliminary research on the proposed subjects and define the subject of the communication; then you need to research information on your topic, set a communication goal and justify it. Step 1: Description of the communication situation A. Describe the communication situation by completing the Jakobson diagram. Referent Sender Message To be determined in assignment 3 Receiver Channel Code Step 2: Exploration of the subjects proposed by a preliminary research B. Three topics related to your study program have been submitted to you. To arrive at the choice of a subject: 1. Do a preliminary research on each of them in Eureka, in Benchmark or on the Internet. 2. On each topic, select two articles from credible and verifiable sources. 3. Read articles selectively. 4. Concisely write down the ideas announced in their introduction. 5. Note the complete reference of each article by following the model proposed in the Learning Book.

Based on the results of your preliminary research, select the topic on which your presentation will focus. ….. Selected topic: D. Define your topic and justify this choice using the selection criteria of a topic …… Delimited topic: ….. Justification: Step 4: Search d informationE. Using the Eureka and Repère databases or the Internet, carry out a more in-depth information search in order to constitute a research dossier comprising at least eight pages on the subject [1]. To select your articles wisely, use the “Information Qualities Checklist” provided to you in the Learning Workbook. F. Clearly identify the source of the articles by entering, in the table below, the complete reference according to the model proposed in the Learning Book. G. Copy and paste the articles into the annex at the end of the assignment. Step 5: Analyze the information H. Made

During an initial meeting with a service user, an advanced human services professional practitioner often conducts an assessment to determine the service user’s presenting problem or presenting needs. Conducting an assessment while also maintaining the spirit of motivational interviewing requires a delicate balance. Asking too many closed-ended questions in rapid succession may cause the service user to take on a passive role and the practitioner to take on an expert role, which is contradictory to the spirit of motivational interviewing. However, failure to elicit enough information may limit the practitioner’s ability to accurately determine the service user’s presenting problem or service needs. Fortunately, skilled practitioners are able to effectively integrate traditional assessment techniques and motivational interviewing to elicit enough information from the service user while also forging a collaborative partnership with them. You can see an example of how this is done in Chapter 11 of the course text, which is part of the assigned readings for this week.

Note: When conducting an assessment or using motivational interviewing, it is also crucial to consider a person’s cultural background in your presentation of questions and in developing a rapport. You will apply an assessment and the spirit of motivational interviewing to the service user in the case study. You also will identify multicultural considerations you would make while working with the service user. You will use this case study multiple times throughout the course, each time applying a different motivational interviewing skill. 

To Prepare

• Review the Learning Resources on assessment, engaging service users, multicultural considerations, and the spirit of motivational interviewing.
• Go to the Hart City virtual community using the link that is provided in the Learning Resources. Once you are in the community, review the case study you were assigned.
• Consider which type of assessment you would use with the service user in the case study, and why.
• Reflect on the multicultural considerations you would make when assessing the service user.
• Think about how you would apply the spirit of motivational interviewing when meeting the service user for the first time to understand their presenting problem.

Object-oriented programming is a model of programming that is often  used to create programs that are simple, efficient, and easy to  maintain. The way that object-oriented programming achieves this is by  breaking a complex problem down into smaller, simpler problems. It uses a  hierarchical inheritance approach–meaning that the sub classes (or  child classes)  of a class can access all methods from the parent  class. 

A class is utilized as a type of blueprint for objects to be created,  and is basically a collection of similar objects. For example, a  “Computer” might be considered a class, while it’s objects might be 3  different computers: a Lenovo, a Dell, and an Acer. We can declare  variables in the class, and then define what attributes that the objects  in the class “Computer” will share, such as cost, color, and brand.   The “state” of an object is considered to be something that describes  an object, such as the three attributes we listed above.  The “behavior”  of an object is considered to be something that the object “does”, such  as a computer “running”. 

Within the class, a main method as well as other methods are created  which utilize objects, statements, and commands to achieve a desired  result. There must be at least one main method in the program so that  the system knows where to begin executing the program. I have attached  an example of a small program that creates a class of “Computer1” which  declares two variables: cost and brand. I then create an object called  “myComputer” which utilizes those variables to show the cost and brand  of my computer, and to display the result along with a string as the  output.
