CLA2 Comprehensive Learning Assessment (CLA 2) Presentation

In addition to your CLA2 report, please prepare a professional PowerPoint presentation

summarizing your findings for CLA2. The presentation will consist of your major findings,

analysis, and recommendations in a concise presentation of 18 slides (minimum). You should

use content from your CLA2 report as material for your PowerPoint presentation. In addition,

you should include learning outcomes from all your major assignments. This would include

PA1, CLA1, PA2, and of course, CLA2 (unless otherwise specified by your Professor). An

agenda, executive summary, and references slides should also be included. Please keep in

mind that the university is moving towards a more digital footprint for our students. This means

that your final CLA2 presentation may be recorded, so that you may include it in your “e-

portfolio” (graduating students should have all of their CLA2 presentations on a flash-drive, in

addition to student biography, resume, interests, and so forth) Students will present their

PowerPoint during the last week of class in either the On-Campus Class Session or the online

Virtual Class Session, as determined by the professor. Presentations should not exceed 18

minutes.

3 pages paper(topic is symmetry)

/in /by

 

Your paper should be approximately 3 pages double spaced (~750-1000 words).

Papers can talk directly about a mathematical topic related to symmetry, they can be a personal reflection, and an expository talk relating symmetry to something in history, design, culture…you name it! Above all, make sure your writing is focused and specific. However symmetry appears in your paper, write about it with as much precision as you can.

A good paper includes pictures and examples to support your writing, as well as outside references. Good papers are readable (avoid typos and grammatical mistakes).

Avoid a paper that is a simple laundry list of symmetric objects in your life. Write about something you find interesting or that you care about.

I will grade you paper on a 0-5 point scale. Papers that receive a 5 are exceptional. Note that the grade on your short papers represents a pretty hefty chunk of your overall grade (40%). In the gradebook these assignments are not weighted as they will be when I compute your grade. Blowing off your papers is a really bad idea! Treat this assignment with the same seriousness that you would a test.

Hints: Symmetry is that one shape is exactly like the other shape when it is moved, rotated, or flipped.

In the real life, we always use symmetry to solve different kinds of problems.

Also, symmetry brings us a lot of convenience to solve mathematical problems, especially in geometry.

ASSIGNMENT 1 and 2: LAB REPORTS

You are a scientist in your life and in the real world. Part of the fun of learning about the world and how it works is going beyond the text and seeing it for yourself in action.
This quarter you are studying 4 major fields of science Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science and Astronomy. For two (2) of those fields, you will perform an experiment and create a lab report.
At the end of each chapter you are assigned to read this quarter, there are “ACTIVITIES (HANDS-ON APPLICATION)” where you can find your “experiment.”
Don’t let this be the only place you look! Venture to YouTube or the Science channel’s show “Outrageous Acts of Science.” If you have wanted to put a Mentos in a bottle of Diet Coke – this is the time! If you want an excuse to go camping or hiking, star gazing or doing a geological study might just be the way to go. You could even make up one of your own! Include your family, your friends, your pets! Have fun!
CAUTION: Please make sure that you have the proper safety equipment when conducting any experiment. This generally includes but is not limited to, eye protection in the form of goggles or safety glasses and clothing that is not loose fitting.
For each lab report you must:
 

  1. Describe the purpose and hypothesis of the experiment. (What are you trying to prove or see?)
  2. List/show the materials used.
  3. Describe the procedure. (Describe the steps of the experiment and what you did so that a classmate could replicate if they wanted.)
  4. Describe and display the results. (What happened? Hint: Some of the data may be easier to show in charts or with graphics.)
  5. Answer the following explanatory and interpretative questions:         
    • Why do you think you achieved the results that you did?
    • Did anything unexpected happen?
    • Do the data/results support the hypothesis? Why? (Show using specific references to the data.)
    • This Lab Report may be submitted in any format: Video, PowerPoint (with notes pages as needed or screen capture as wanted), Word Document, etc., or any combination that would allow you to show not only the details of the experiment and data but what you have learned from doing it. Use your own words throughout.
      All assignments, regardless of format, must give citations, references and/or credit and use 2-3 academic quality sources. For example if it’s not an original experiment and you were inspired by someone else’s video, or copied it exactly, let us know which one etc. The important thing is that your sources be documented clearly in a way that your sources can be checked by the reader (and verified by the instructor). APA style is recommended, but not required.

User Frustration

/in /by

 

  1. User Frustration
    The quality of the user experience is very important to the success of an application. In the early days of computing, users often experienced long delays since computing power was poor and networks had comparatively slow throughput. Modern systems have largely eliminated these delays due to increased network and computing power, yet users still report a high level of frustration.
    Write a four- to five-page paper in which you:

    1. Describe three reasons users are still frustrated with modern applications.
    2. Suggest one method for reducing the frustrations for each of the reasons you supplied in Question 1.
    3. Describe methods for determining if user frustration is caused by poor system design or from the natural frustration associated with learning a new software product.
    4. Suggest at least three methods to reduce the frustrations among the disabled population and how this population can be better served.
    5. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. 
    6. This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
      The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
    • Determine reasons for user frustration with modern applications, and methods to reduce that frustration.
  2. By submitting this paper, you agree: (1) that you are submitting your paper to be used and stored as part of the SafeAssign™ services in accordance with the Blackboard Privacy Policy; (2) that your institution may use your paper in accordance with your institution’s policies; and (3) that your use of SafeAssign will be without recourse against Blackboard Inc. and its affiliates.

Discussion: Treating Childhood Abuse

/in /by

 

In 2012, statistics in the United States indicated that state CPS agencies received 3.4 million referrals for child abuse and neglect. Of these, nearly 700,000 children were found to be victims of maltreatment: 18% were victims of physical abuse and 78% were victims of neglect (CDC, 2014). Child sexual abuse makes up roughly 10% of child maltreatment cases in the United States (CDC, 2014). The CDC considers sexual abuse at any age a form of violence. Child abuse of any kind can lead to an increased state of inflammatory markers in adulthood, as well as multiple physical illnesses and high-risk behavior such as alcoholism and drug abuse. If a PMHNP identifies child abuse, there may be a need to report the abuse to authorities. Once able to provide treatment, the PMHNP can be instrumental in reducing the long-term effects of child abuse.

, you recommend strategies for assessing for abuse and analyze influences of media and social media on mental health. You also evaluate the need for mandatory reporting of abuse.

Question:

 

  • What strategies would you employ to assess the patient for abuse? Explain why you selected these strategies.
  • How might exposure to the media and/or social media affect the patient?
  • What type of mandatory reporting (if any) is required in this case? Why?

The concept of personality has evolved through many theorists. Some state that traits are what make you who you are, others rely on the unconscious, while others consider genetics and your thought process. A variety of theorists have contemplated how personalities are shaped and what aspects of growth are most important. The five key theories of personality are reviewed below.

Psychoanalytic Basis: The psychoanalytic school of personality offers a logical perspective of stages, motivational forces, egos, understanding identity, and beyond. Freud is a major forefather from which many other theorists have developed their theories. The compelling theme amongst theorists in this school is that the lack of stable, consistent environments can impact our future. Erik Erikson is another theorist in this school.

Biological Basis: A variety of theorists have contemplated how personalities comes about, whether through nature or nurture. Reviewing biological bases of behavior, in addition to learned and generational patterns, provides insight into personalities. Genetic theorists subscribe to the theory that nature and nurture work together to create an individual. Child rearing is impacted by the behavior of the caregiver. Hans Eysenck is an important theorist in the biological perspective of personality development.

Trait Approach: This approach examines specific characteristics that can make up your personality. Are you introverted? Extroverted? What are your main traits in most situations? These were some of the questions explored by trait theorists like Gordon Allport and Raymond Cattell. The five factor model is generally the most common concept in trait theory, spelling out OCEAN: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Critics of trait theory argue that it cannot predict behavior accurately.

Behaviorist Basis: Behaviorist felt personality was a result of the interaction of the environment and the person. They measure behaviors that are observable. Theorists in this field include John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner.

Humanist Basis: Humanists felt we were all striving to be our best, towards what they often refer to as Self Actualization. Our personalities are developed by how we see ourselves. Many of our decisions involve free will. Theorists in this field include Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers.

The past is an essential component of understanding the self; however, the impact of genetics versus personal choice is an ongoing debate. Consider which approach you feel best describes personality development.

Annotated Bibliography

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapters 3, 4, and 5 from Introduction to Juvenile Justice. It is also recommended that you review the upcoming Week 3 Final Paper Outline assignment along with your Week 5 Treatment Versus Punishment: That Is the Question! Final Paper instructions. An Annotated Bibliography (Links to an external site.) is a great way to organize your research and prepare you for completing the Final Paper Outline in Week 3 and your Final Paper in Week 5. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to find, summarize, and critique scholarly and/or credible sources that you will use to complete your Final Paper. You will also use the information gained from the required readings this week to complete this assignment.

The Final Paper requires you to identify resources that will support your argument of whether treatment, punishment, or a combination of both treatment and punishment are most effective in reducing juvenile crime rates and recidivism. Like the Final Paper due in Week 5, this assignment will focus on analyzing some of the research in targeted areas of juvenile criminal behavior.

In your Annotated Bibliography, identify at least five scholarly and/or credible sources, which includes the source you are reviewing, two sources that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis in the Week 5 paper, which calls for you to:

  • Explain the differences between treatment and punishment concepts.
  • Evaluate types of treatment and types of punishment options for violent and non-violent juvenile crimes.
  • Examine the research as to whether treatment, punishment, or a combination of both (treatment and punishment) is most effective for reducing recidivism in juvenile offenders.
  • Identify the prevailing perspective (treatment, punishment, or combination of both) in your jurisdiction and one other jurisdiction [Note: this may come from a government or other equally credible source].
  • Analyze the research on recidivism rates for each jurisdiction (yours and the other you chose) to determine which has lower recidivism rates.

For each of your critical analyses of your sources for the points listed above,

  • Summarize each source’s thesis and/or main points in one paragraph.
  • Evaluate the relevance of the data used to support the thesis of the source.
  • Briefly critique the accuracy, acceptability, strengths and weaknesses, and overall soundness of the article.
  • Explain, in one to two sentences, how each source supports your thesis and/or resolution.
  • Provide the formal APA reference entry for each source.

The annotated bibliography must be 750 to 1250 words in length, excluding title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least five scholarly and/or credible sources, which includes the source you are reviewing, two sources that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis. Visit the University of Arizona Global Campus Library to review the Criminal Justice Research Guide which may help in your research. You may also find The University of Arizona Global Campus Library Quick ‘n’ Dirty (Links to an external site.) tutorial, The Research Process (Links to an external site.) tutorial, and the Advanced Search Techniques (Links to an external site.) tip sheet helpful as you conduct your research. As you conduct your research, the University of Arizona Global Campus Library also provides the RefWorks tool that will help you organize your research, create APA reference entries and citations, and more. Creating a RefWorks Account (Links to an external site.) will assist you in creating an account in order to start using the tool.

Is the cinema theater dead? It seems as if new methods of delivering and viewing media are popping up all the time. Today, we can watch films from our streaming accounts virtually anywhere, including from our phones. We can stream movies directly to our devices and view them from the comfort of our own homes.

Moreover, the prevalence of streaming services has changed the way we view TV episodes and movies. The phenomenon of “binge-watching” has transformed stories that may have once been reserved for the big screen into shorter 6-10 episode “seasons” and made available all at once. However, movie theaters still exist in every city and town, and people can still be seen lining up to buy tickets or popcorn for a showing.

Initial Post: Write one to two paragraphs, answering the following:

  1. Is the cinema or movie theater “dead?”
  2. What do you think is the purpose and function of movie theaters today?
  3. Do you still go to movie theaters? Why or why not? Are there certain films you prefer to see on “the big screen?”
  4. Share suggestions for ways that the concept of the movie theater may evolve in the future.

(PLEASE ANSWER ALL 4 QUESTIONS IN POST)

Case Study: Networked Communications at Special Salmon

Read the following case study and complete the assignment described at the end by answering the questions. Submit your finished case study to the Module 4: Case Study: Networked Communications at Special Salmon Assignment.

You are the ClO of Special Salmon, one of the largest providers of fish to restaurant chains in North America. The headquarters and the information systems division are located in Miami. Special Salmon has a fleet of more than 200 fishing boats that constantly fish the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and Canada. Competition is keen, and it goes without saying that you have to know where the fish are located at any given time. But you also have to know which type of fish the restaurant chains are demanding and the quantity of each type of fish the chain is willing to buy. There are 52 major ports on the Atlantic seaboard and 29 on the Pacific seaboard where your boats come to unload their fish. Special Salmon has a small branch office at each of these ports. This is a true supply-and-demand business where the demand and supply levels change daily as fish are caught and sold. The product is perishable; it must be sold quickly.

Your headquarters computer center consists of a large IBM mainframe computer with more storage and processing power than you need for current operations. There are microcomputers on the desks of most of the 115 managers and staff at headquarters. Your systems track the current market prices for each type of fish being bought by each restaurant chain that your company supplies. Pounds of fish sold, from which port the fish are delivered, price per pound for the fish, and much other data is stored. Managers at headquarters use this information as they talk with the small branch offices during frequent phone calls each day.

Each small branch office in your organization has a microcomputer that is no more than 3 years old; your company policy is to upgrade at least every 3 years. The office manager and several staff at each branch office use the computers to monitor operations. The computers in each branch office track the inventory of fish arriving and fish being sold. Type of fish, poundage, customer, time the fish were sold, and much more data is stored in the branch’s computer.

As headquarters managers and branch office managers talk, they decide if the branch should immediately sell its fish or if market conditions dictate that the fish should be held for a short time in case the market price rises. Should the branch sell part of its inventory to one restaurant chain and the rest at another chain? All of these decisions are made with incomplete data because the computer systems at headquarters and the computer systems at the branches do not directly communicate; only the information relayed between a headquarters manager and a branch manager in their phone call is used in the decision.

You’ve also been approached by several restaurant chains about establishing communications links between your headquarters and their headquarters.

Assignment: Compose a case study paper that addresses the questions below. The paper should follow APA style with a title page and a reference page. Your case study paper should be two to three pages in length, not including the title page or reference page.

Questions to address:

  1. What benefits can you see from networking your branch offices and headquarters together?
  2. What benefits can you see from data communications linkages between headquarters and Special Salmon fishing boats?
  3. Would cloud computing be of benefit to Special Salmon? If so how? Otherwise, why not?
  4. How would you secure the system?
