So as the assignments asks us to use the Framingham Heart Study dataset Framingham Heart Study Dataset.xlsx and we will be doing a linear regression analysis using eh BMI variable. It is always important to “clean” the data by removing any participants who have missing data. You will also report the number of participants that were removed. The characteristics you are looking at as variables that will be analyzed are age, gender/sex, systolic blood pressure, total serum cholesterol, smoking status (current smoker), and diabetes. So check that the data is present in each category for the inclusion of these participants. So the linear regression is a tool in the Data Analysis Toolpack. Remember that SEX is coded as 1=male and 2=female.
You will be presenting your findings in a Word document by copying and pasting the ANOVA table into the document. Your paper must include a title page, an introduction, a discussion where you interpret the meaning of the findings of your ANOVA test, and a conclusion discussing the process of preparing the data for analysis.
The requirements for in-text citations is something that always must be used to support statements that you make. There is a minimum of 4 scholarly articles where 2 of these can be from the course readings or text.

Gen S420 F2019Assignment #2:
Disability Culture Plunge (DCP) Code of Conduct & Planning Form
You are required to engage with individuals who identify as being a part of the Disability Community. As part of this assignment, you are expected to be respectful and thoughtful with the different organizations and people you come across.
This is not an opportunity for you to be inspired by an individual's ability to do “day-to-day” tasks. It is an opportunity for you to discover how people with disabilities must adapt their lives in order to integrate into their communities. You will be expected to discover what actually “disables” them and what provides them with access. You will discover or enhance your understanding of human connectedness.
As this is a college level course, the expectation is for you to take the ideas we present in class and see how those concepts apply to people who live this experience daily.
Important criteria for culture plunges as described in the course syllabus are:
· The majority or a large proportion of people there identify as someone who is disabled
· This must be a type of experience you’ve never done before
· The plunge takes place after this course begins (credit cannot be given for past experiences)
· You must be focused on qualitative interactions and not on taking notes
· Although the event may be a charity-based event, you are not there out of charity, but out of intrigue and interest in getting to know people with disabilities as equals
· The plunge lasts at least one hour

Ideas for Valuable Culture Plunge Opportunities
You can reference Blackboard for some DCP examples. You are
also encouraged to find local organizations in the community
that are not listed on Blackboard.
· Disability and LGBTQIA + organizations
3. · Disability and the farming community
· Homeless population and the variety of disabilities
represented
· Adults with developmental disabilities
· Mental Illness and different ethnic groups
· Deaf and hard-of-hearing community
· Adaptive sports opportunities
I have read the assignment description and the code of conduct
for the DCP opportunity.
Your Name:
Date:Planning Form
The purpose of this planning form is to ensure that you plan
ahead and prepare in advance for what you will be doing for
your Disability Culture Plunge. You are expected to contact the
organization in advance, introduce yourself and the purpose of
attending, participating, and/or volunteering. As a student of
SDSU and of Gen S420, we expect you to interact with the
organization(s) in a professional manner, dress appropriately,
and follow the cultural norms of that community.

Disability-Related Language in Written Assignments
GS 420 SDSU
Students are expected to submit well-thought-out and well-
written assignments. Failure to
proofread and edit assignments, and failure to use appropriate
language (relevant and
respectful terminology related to disability) will result in points
loss. (Please seek help at the
SDSU Writing Center if your English writing abilities are not
yet proficient.)
In determining appropriate disability-related language, you will
need to educate yourself about
diverse perspectives when it comes to language use. At this
point in time, it is standard
5. disability etiquette to use person-first/people-first language.
However, it is important to
understand and respect identity-first language as well.
Person-First Language
For the purposes of this course, you will be expected to use
person-first language and
dignifying language as a way to demonstrate consciousness
about respecting people with
disabilities. In general, person-first language is appropriate to
use if you are not immersed in
the field of disability (which is most GS 420 students) or if your
audience consists of children,
youth, and/or general lay people who do not know about the
social model of disability.
Person-first language is an educational tool that is widely
embraced by a diverse array of people
with disabilities, and allies and organizations that support them.
It is encouraged in written
publications. GS 420 students need to become intimately
familiar with person-first language
and language that promotes dignity and use it for all
assignments.
Identity-First Language
Identity-first language is appropriate if you are a person who
experiences disability and prefers
identity-first language. It is also appropriate if you are a person
immersed in disability culture
who understands the social model of disability. And out of
respect, if you are referring to or
speaking with someone who identifies with their disability first,
you should feel comfortable in
using identity-first language. If you can argue your case and
satisfactorily justify your use of
identity-first language in your assignments from a disability
6. studies perspective, then we will
excuse your use of non-person-first language. But, within each
assignment, you must clearly
identify yourself as a person who qualifies to use identify-first
language, as described above.
(You should do this in parentheses immediately following any
sentence using identity-first
language). Note: Many people in the Deaf and autistic
communities prefer identity-first
language.
See some examples of person-first language and dignifying
language choices on the next page.
Inspiration Porn
Students are also expected to not use any “inspiration porn” in
their written assignments. Using
inspiration porn may result in a point deduction. Learn about
inspiration porn at the bottom of
this document.
