In developmental psychology, the focus of research is often to examine change over time. Developmental psychologists have some special research designs that allow them to accomplish this. Two such research designs are the cross-sectional design and the longitudinal design. A cross-sectional design measures different groups of people of different ages at the same time. A longitudinal design measures the same group of people at different ages and also, therefore, at different times.

Context
A key to self-directed learning is reflection. Reflection enables the ability to examine
situations in order to better understand the surrounding context and identify potential
improvements for the future. This assessment aims to develop your awareness and
reflective learning ability while also assessing your understanding of the topics covered in
modules 1 and 2.
Reflective writing ordinarily occurs in the first person (and you can do so here) and works
best when you think deeply about a topic and look at both the positives as well as
opportunities to improve in a situation. Examples within the context of this assessment
might be:
• I found taking the Emotional Intelligence self-assessment

Introduction and Course Description
I've designed this course to give you a basic understanding of each of the different fields that collectively make up the science of psychology. One field is concerned with how the brain is organized; another with how children mature; still another with why people become anxious or depressed and how to help them. Psychology is concerned with each of these areas, and much more. In psychology we are interested in why people think and feel and act the way that they do. By the end of this course, you should have a good understanding of what psychologists study, and some of their most important research findings.
Because so many different fields are involved, I will divide the course into sections: neuroscience, development, psychological disorders, and so forth. In lecture, I will survey what psychologists know about each field. This information is reinforced and expanded upon in the textbook and in weekly discussion sessions. To evaluate how well you understand the textbook material, in each section I will ask several questions on the lectures and readings. You will have an opportunity to apply the issues to your own lives during weekly recitation sessions. I also have assigned four papers to develop your written expression of psychology. Finally, there will be a cumulative in class final exam given during finals week.
Course Objectives
After taking PSY 102, you should be better able to:
1. Apply critical thinking skills to research designs and practical problems in psychology.
2. Understand basic psychological theories, principles, and concepts in the areas of human development, social interaction, psychopathology, cognitive processes, and the biological bases of behavior.
3. Evaluate hypotheses, research designs, research findings, and theories.
4. Understand how statistical significance is used in research
5. Understand the difference between pseudo-science and science and apply such understanding to media reports about psychology.
6. Apply psychological concepts and principles to understanding social and cultural phenomena.
7. Communicate your ideas orally and in writing.
8. Apply psychological concepts to you own life and experiences.
PSY 102 satisfies the Individual and Society general education requirement of the CUNY Pathways Common Core. The course also enhances proficiency in writing, information literacy, and quantitative reasoning. In exercising writing proficiency, you will have multiple experiences to communicate your ideas in writing and speaking, including at least 3500 words of writing in specific assignments. For information literacy, you will have multiple opportunities to critically and con ...
The document discusses healthcare models and medical social work from the person-in-environment perspective. It compares the traditional medical model, which focuses on disease diagnosis and treatment, to the biopsychosocial model. The biopsychosocial model considers biological, psychological, and social factors and their interactions in understanding health and illness. Medical social workers must use the person-in-environment perspective and consider all systems in a patient's life when assessing needs and interventions. The document instructs students to discuss these models and perspectives in a weekly discussion forum.
Text Two is written in a more academic style. It uses in-text citations, avoids first person pronouns like "I", uses objective language to analyze both sides of the argument, and presents the information in clear, structured paragraphs. Text One uses informal language and structure that is not appropriate for academic writing.
Report #1 Checks and Balances After reading Chapter 2 of your t.docxaudeleypearl
Report #1: Checks and Balances
After reading Chapter 2 of your text, “The Constitution,” and watching the C-Span video “Checks and Balances: Intentions of the Founders” (link to the video below, it is about an hour and a half long), write a brief report. The report should contain three separate sections that address all the points in each question. Notice the expected word count for each section (exceeding the word count will not negatively affect your grade, but please try to stay within the range).
1. Based on your reading of Chapter 2 of the text, describe the major checks and balances in the Constitution that are intended to limit the power of each of the three branches of government. Be specific in indicating how each branch checks the others. (approximately 200-250 words)
2. According to the discussion in the video, what makes some people worry that these checks and balances are not as effective as they once were in limiting power (particularly the power of the president)? What possible reforms or changes might be needed to restore the balance of power among the branches? (approximately 200-250 words)
3. List and describe two points made during the discussion on the video concerning checks and balances that you found particularly interesting, novel, or insightful. (approximately 100-150 words)
Be careful not to plagiarize. If you want to quote directly from your book or from the video, do so by using quotation marks and by indicating the page number (if available). But try to do this sparingly and simply use your own words in addressing the questions.
In your writing, use an analytical tone that is free of your personal opinions. In other words, try to answer the questions in a straightforward and objective manner.

Article Critique Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Articles are written to inform, misinform, influence, or misdirect, among other reasons. Sometimes they serve as nothing more than a vehicle for an author to
achieve fame, notoriety, and wealth. You should never take at face value the elements of any article you read, but you should be able to:
• Differentiate between fact and opinion
• Recognize and evaluate author bias and rhetoric
• Determine cause-and-effect relationships
• Determine accuracy and completeness of information presented
• Recognize logical fallacies and faulty reasoning
• Compare and contrast information and points of view
• Develop inferential skills
• Make judgments and draw logical conclusions
When writing an article critique, you will need to summarize, evaluate, and offer critical comment on the ideas and information that the author(s) presents in
the article.
Starting in Module Two, you are assigned two articles to read, which are located in Module Resources for that specific module. You have to select one of the two
articles and write a critique of it. In your paper, cite any and all information taken f ...

Week 5 PlagiarismThere are very few educational and academic o.docxmelbruce90096
Week 5
Plagiarism
There are very few educational and academic offenses that are more serious and embarrassing than plagiarism. As a graduate student, you will be asked to write numerous papers, presentations and projects that require the inclusion of outside sources. Three of the main rules that you need to follow that will ensure that you write according to university and APA standards listed below.
1. Always write in your own words. I know that sometimes it seems like the original source said it best, and maybe they did – you still need to write in your own words and credit your source.
2. Always cite your sources in APA formatting when you take ideas and concepts from another writer. Always.
3. Never ever try to pass someone else’s work off as your own – under any circumstances.
4. Anytime you include a reference, you need to support it with a citation and any time you include a citation, you must also support that citation with a reference.
You are encouraged to use our extensive databases when completing your work. You just always need to credit the author. A good rule of thumb is, if the information did not originate with you, you need to cite it. It is always better to air on the side of caution. I have created a short audio PowerPoint to go along with this Guidance. If you have any questions about proper citations, APA formatting or how to avoid plagiarism, please let me know.
Please also review our Plagiarism Policy and Academic Research Policy. I have included them below as well.
Plagiarism Policy
Students agree to produce all the work assigned in every course as their individual work, unless collaboration is required or expressly permitted by the instructor. Plagiarism includes the use of the student’s own previously published work (in whole or in part) or work previously submitted (in whole or in part) in any course, including within the same course, without proper citation in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Sixth Edition Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
Students must obtain specific, written permission from their instructor, prior to the inclusion in course assignments, to submit work the student previously submitted (in the same course or any other course) or work the student previously published, in whole or in part.
Students will avoid all forms of plagiarism and will not submit as their own work material obtained from persons (with or without that person’s knowledge), or from other sources such as term paper companies or the Internet. Students will give credit (proper APA citations) for all the sources of their ideas, whether written or oral, formal or informal, published or unpublished. Plagiarism may be grounds for dismissal from the University.
Avoiding Plagiarism
Address any questions regarding plagiarism to the course instructor. Students should be aware that University of the Rockies’ instructors utilize anti-plagiarism resources to determine the originality of submitted.

Introduction and Course Description
I've designed this course to give you a basic understanding of each of the different fields that collectively make up the science of psychology. One field is concerned with how the brain is organized; another with how children mature; still another with why people become anxious or depressed and how to help them. Psychology is concerned with each of these areas, and much more. In psychology we are interested in why people think and feel and act the way that they do. By the end of this course, you should have a good understanding of what psychologists study, and some of their most important research findings.
Because so many different fields are involved, I will divide the course into sections: neuroscience, development, psychological disorders, and so forth. In lecture, I will survey what psychologists know about each field. This information is reinforced and expanded upon in the textbook and in weekly discussion sessions. To evaluate how well you understand the textbook material, in each section I will ask several questions on the lectures and readings. You will have an opportunity to apply the issues to your own lives during weekly recitation sessions. I also have assigned four papers to develop your written expression of psychology. Finally, there will be a cumulative in class final exam given during finals week.
Course Objectives
After taking PSY 102, you should be better able to:
1. Apply critical thinking skills to research designs and practical problems in psychology.
2. Understand basic psychological theories, principles, and concepts in the areas of human development, social interaction, psychopathology, cognitive processes, and the biological bases of behavior.
3. Evaluate hypotheses, research designs, research findings, and theories.
4. Understand how statistical significance is used in research
5. Understand the difference between pseudo-science and science and apply such understanding to media reports about psychology.
6. Apply psychological concepts and principles to understanding social and cultural phenomena.
7. Communicate your ideas orally and in writing.
8. Apply psychological concepts to you own life and experiences.
PSY 102 satisfies the Individual and Society general education requirement of the CUNY Pathways Common Core. The course also enhances proficiency in writing, information literacy, and quantitative reasoning. In exercising writing proficiency, you will have multiple experiences to communicate your ideas in writing and speaking, including at least 3500 words of writing in specific assignments. For information literacy, you will have multiple opportunities to critically and con ...
The document discusses healthcare models and medical social work from the person-in-environment perspective. It compares the traditional medical model, which focuses on disease diagnosis and treatment, to the biopsychosocial model. The biopsychosocial model considers biological, psychological, and social factors and their interactions in understanding health and illness. Medical social workers must use the person-in-environment perspective and consider all systems in a patient's life when assessing needs and interventions. The document instructs students to discuss these models and perspectives in a weekly discussion forum.
Text Two is written in a more academic style. It uses in-text citations, avoids first person pronouns like "I", uses objective language to analyze both sides of the argument, and presents the information in clear, structured paragraphs. Text One uses informal language and structure that is not appropriate for academic writing.
Report #1 Checks and Balances After reading Chapter 2 of your t.docxaudeleypearl
Report #1: Checks and Balances
After reading Chapter 2 of your text, “The Constitution,” and watching the C-Span video “Checks and Balances: Intentions of the Founders” (link to the video below, it is about an hour and a half long), write a brief report. The report should contain three separate sections that address all the points in each question. Notice the expected word count for each section (exceeding the word count will not negatively affect your grade, but please try to stay within the range).
1. Based on your reading of Chapter 2 of the text, describe the major checks and balances in the Constitution that are intended to limit the power of each of the three branches of government. Be specific in indicating how each branch checks the others. (approximately 200-250 words)
2. According to the discussion in the video, what makes some people worry that these checks and balances are not as effective as they once were in limiting power (particularly the power of the president)? What possible reforms or changes might be needed to restore the balance of power among the branches? (approximately 200-250 words)
3. List and describe two points made during the discussion on the video concerning checks and balances that you found particularly interesting, novel, or insightful. (approximately 100-150 words)
Be careful not to plagiarize. If you want to quote directly from your book or from the video, do so by using quotation marks and by indicating the page number (if available). But try to do this sparingly and simply use your own words in addressing the questions.
In your writing, use an analytical tone that is free of your personal opinions. In other words, try to answer the questions in a straightforward and objective manner.

Article Critique Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Articles are written to inform, misinform, influence, or misdirect, among other reasons. Sometimes they serve as nothing more than a vehicle for an author to
achieve fame, notoriety, and wealth. You should never take at face value the elements of any article you read, but you should be able to:
• Differentiate between fact and opinion
• Recognize and evaluate author bias and rhetoric
• Determine cause-and-effect relationships
• Determine accuracy and completeness of information presented
• Recognize logical fallacies and faulty reasoning
• Compare and contrast information and points of view
• Develop inferential skills
• Make judgments and draw logical conclusions
When writing an article critique, you will need to summarize, evaluate, and offer critical comment on the ideas and information that the author(s) presents in
the article.
Starting in Module Two, you are assigned two articles to read, which are located in Module Resources for that specific module. You have to select one of the two
articles and write a critique of it. In your paper, cite any and all information taken f ...

Week 5 PlagiarismThere are very few educational and academic o.docxmelbruce90096
Week 5
Plagiarism
There are very few educational and academic offenses that are more serious and embarrassing than plagiarism. As a graduate student, you will be asked to write numerous papers, presentations and projects that require the inclusion of outside sources. Three of the main rules that you need to follow that will ensure that you write according to university and APA standards listed below.
1. Always write in your own words. I know that sometimes it seems like the original source said it best, and maybe they did – you still need to write in your own words and credit your source.
2. Always cite your sources in APA formatting when you take ideas and concepts from another writer. Always.
3. Never ever try to pass someone else’s work off as your own – under any circumstances.
4. Anytime you include a reference, you need to support it with a citation and any time you include a citation, you must also support that citation with a reference.
You are encouraged to use our extensive databases when completing your work. You just always need to credit the author. A good rule of thumb is, if the information did not originate with you, you need to cite it. It is always better to air on the side of caution. I have created a short audio PowerPoint to go along with this Guidance. If you have any questions about proper citations, APA formatting or how to avoid plagiarism, please let me know.
Please also review our Plagiarism Policy and Academic Research Policy. I have included them below as well.
Plagiarism Policy
Students agree to produce all the work assigned in every course as their individual work, unless collaboration is required or expressly permitted by the instructor. Plagiarism includes the use of the student’s own previously published work (in whole or in part) or work previously submitted (in whole or in part) in any course, including within the same course, without proper citation in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Sixth Edition Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
Students must obtain specific, written permission from their instructor, prior to the inclusion in course assignments, to submit work the student previously submitted (in the same course or any other course) or work the student previously published, in whole or in part.
Students will avoid all forms of plagiarism and will not submit as their own work material obtained from persons (with or without that person’s knowledge), or from other sources such as term paper companies or the Internet. Students will give credit (proper APA citations) for all the sources of their ideas, whether written or oral, formal or informal, published or unpublished. Plagiarism may be grounds for dismissal from the University.
Avoiding Plagiarism
Address any questions regarding plagiarism to the course instructor. Students should be aware that University of the Rockies’ instructors utilize anti-plagiarism resources to determine the originality of submitted.

Read Chapter 2 first. Then come to this assignment.
The first theme of next week's class (Week 2) will be Chapter 2, Concepts of Infectious Disease. I will briefly go through the chapter to make sure that you understand it, and then we will have a discussion.
Since the chapter in the textbook is so full of important concepts, it would be difficult to narrow it down to a single topic for discussion. So I have posted this introduction and 3 separate subtopics. You can choose which one you want to write about. Each student should choose one of these subtopics for your major post. You should write well thought out primary comments on at least one of the points below (150-200 words).
BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND SUBTOPIC IN THE HEADER FOR YOUR PAPER.
We will discuss each of the subtopics that were chosen by the students. Each of you should take an active role in presenting your topic to the other students. Explain the concept in your own words, or develop it further using a relevant example. As other students present their perspective on the same topic, hopefully an active discussion will take hold. I will jump in only as needed. This format will allow you to develop one subtopic in an active sense, but learn about the others by being drawn into them through other people's discussions.
Choose your subtopic:
Subtopic 1: Factors that affect the spread of epidemics
Question: Explain how the interaction between these factors are relevant to the transmission of AIDS. For example, which of these factors are most critical to the transmission of HIV. Which aren't.
1. Total number of hosts
2. Host’s birth rate
3. Rate at which new susceptible hosts migrate into population
4. Number of susceptible uninfected hosts
5. Rate at which disease can be transmitted from infected to uninfected hosts
6. Death rate of infected hosts
7. The number of infected hosts who survive and become immune or resistant to further infection
Subtopic 2: Acute versus Chronic Infections
Question: Compare the definitions of Acute Infections and Chronic Infections below. Based on what you know about HIV/AIDS at this point, which description most closely matches AIDS? Explain your answer, using evidence from the book to support your position.
What is an acute infection?
1. Produces symptoms and makes a person infectious soon after infection.
2. The infected person may: transmit the disease
die from the infection
recover and develop immunity
3. the acute microorganism
STRIKES QUICKLY
infects entire group (small group)
dies out
What is a chronic infection?
Person may never show symptoms
Person continues to carry infectious agent at a low level
Does NOT mount an effective immune response
Subtopic 3: Controlling infectious disease
Question: Explain what herd immunity is and how it works. Use an example from either the bo.

Teaching Grammar and Editing in Public
Administration: Lessons Learned from
Early Offerings of an Undergraduate
Administrative Writing Course
Claire Connolly Knox
University of Central Florida School of Public Administration
ABSTRACT
College graduates need to possess strong writing skills before entering the work-
force. Although many public administration undergraduate programs primarily
focus on policy, finance, and management, we fall short of a larger goal if students
cannot communicate results to a variety of audiences. This article discusses the
results of a national survey, which concludes that few undergraduate public affairs
programs require an administrative/technical writing course. Based on pedagogical
theories, this article describes the design of a newly implemented, undergraduate,
administrative writing course. The article concludes with lessons learned, provides
recommendations for programs considering requiring an administrative writing
course, and discusses future research.
Keywords: administrative writing, Plain Language Movement, discourse community,
undergraduate course design
“Administrators not only need to know about communications, they need to
be able to communicate” (Denhardt, 2001, p. 529). Public administration under-
graduate students learn the importance of communication within organizations
in leadership, human resources, or organizational management courses; however,
practical instruction in communication skills, such as effective, audience-centered
writing, are lacking. Scholars (e.g., Cleary, 1990, 1997; Lee, 2000; Raphael &
Nesbary, 2005; Waugh & Manns, 1991) have noted this lack of required commun-
ication and writing courses in public administration curriculum. The majority of
administrative writing literature is from the late 1980s and early 1990s when
universities began implementing Writing Across the Curriculum programs (i.e.,
JPAE 19 (3), 515–536
516 Journal of Public Affairs Education
Londow, 1993; Stanford, 1992). The limited discussions and conclusions coincide
with private and public sector trends—newly hired students’ writing skills are
lacking (Hines & Basso, 2008; National Commission, 2005).
A survey by the National Commission on Writing for America’s Families,
Schools, and Colleges (2005) reported that approximately 80% of public sector
human resource directors seriously considered writing skills when hiring professional
employees and assumed new employees obtained these skills in college. Increasingly,
public managers require employees to attend writing and communication trainings,
which cost governments approximately $221 million annually (National Commis-
sion, 2005). In fact, the public sector (66%) is more likely to send professional/
salaried employees for writing training than the private sector (40%; National
Commission, 2005). Public, private, and nonprofit sector organizations certainly
should cont ...

The document provides an overview of key concepts and processes related to project scope management and time management. It defines scope management as the processes used to define, control, and validate the work required to successfully deliver a project. It outlines six processes for scope management including planning scope management, collecting requirements, defining scope, creating a work breakdown structure, validating scope, and controlling scope. It also defines seven processes for time management including planning schedule management, defining activities, sequencing activities, estimating activity resources and durations, developing the schedule, and controlling the schedule. The critical path is described as the longest path through a project network diagram that determines the shortest project duration.

The Tauber Manufacturing Institute (TMI) is a partnership between the engineering and business schools at
the University of Michigan. In the summer of 1999, a TMI team spent 14 weeks at Dell Inc. in Austin, Texas,
and developed an inventory model to identify inventory drivers and quantify target levels for inventory in the
final stage of Dell's supply chain, the revolvers or supplier logistics centers (SLC). With the information and
analysis provided by this model, Dell's regional materials organizations could tactically manage revolver inven
tory while Dell's worldwide commodity management could partner with suppliers in improvement projects to
identify inventory drivers and to reduce inventory. Dell also initiated a pilot program for procurement of XDX
(a disguised name for one of the major components of personal computers (PCs)) in the United States to insti
tutionalize the model and promote partnership with suppliers. Based on the model predictions, Dell launched
e-commerce and manufacturing initiatives with its suppliers to lower supply-chain-inventory costs by reducing
revolver inventory by 40 percent. This reduction would raise the corresponding inventory turns by 67 percent.
Net Present Value (NPV) calculations for XDX alone suggest $43 million in potential savings. To ensure project
longevity, Dell formed ...
It’s Your Choice 10 – Clear Values: 2nd Chain Link- Trade-offs - Best Chance of Getting the Most of What You Want.
Narrator: In today's episode, what do I really want? Roger and Nicole discussed the importance of being clear about your values when making a decision in order to give you the best chance of making the most of what you really want. When you understand what you care most about, you can determine which outcomes you prefer as a result of the decision. And, while we frequently can't get everything we want, making tradeoffs is easier when we are clear about our values. Roger: Nicole is something wrong? Nicole: Oh no, not really. I'm just kind of distracted today. See, I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a car, but I'm having a lot of trouble deciding what to buy. I've been saving for years and I want to make sure I do this right. The problem is that I don't even know where to start. There are so many good cars out there. Roger: I know how tough it can be to try and figure out what you really want it, but you're in luck. On today's show, we're going to be talking about why being clear on your values is so important when making a decision. Nicole: A value is something you want as a result of the decision. Roger: Like when I was trying to decide which college to go to, some of my preferences were to go to a place with a good music program and a D-three basketball team. Nicole: It's funny because when I was looking for a school, I didn't care at all about the basketball team. I was much more interested in theater groups. Roger: and that's fine because values are completely up to the person making the decision. What I want will probably be different from what you want, but I use my values for my decisions and you will use yours for yours. Nicole: I was thinking about asking my friends for their opinions too. Roger: It can be very useful to get input from other people, especially when they're knowledgeable. Just be careful they don't try and talk you into what they want instead of what you wanted. Anyway, have you thought about the things you want the most from the car of your choice? Nicole: Oh sure. There are lots of things like I really want a car I can afford, that gets good gas mileage and is cute safe, a good size and comfortable for my friends. Roger: That's a good start. How about the things you don't want?
Nicole: Well, it has to be reliable. I'll be in a mess if it breaks down. I can't afford a lot of repair bills and I don't want a car that's too big. Roger: That's good. Identifying the things you don't want is just as important as the things you do want. Okay Nicole, now that we have your list, the next step is to ask yourself how important are these things?
Nicole: Well, they're all important.
Roger: Sure, but aren't some more important than others? Nicole: Of course, but I'm not really sure which or which? Roger: A good first step is to identify why something is important to you. For example, is getting good gas ...

Unit Lesson
When founders form companies, they usually focus on the product and the customers they hope to generate.
The founders are usually of the same mindset and intention about what they want their company to do and
how they would like it to grow. What many companies fail to plan for is the inevitable death of one of the
founding members and what that might mean for the vision and purpose of the company. In other words, what
would the management structure resemble if one of the founding partners had to deal with the heir of the
deceased partner?
For example, once, two middle-aged founders focused on the same mission, creating and living by their
cultural values and vision, diligently reaching out to their target market, and productively engaging their
customers. One partner unexpectedly died. After the funeral, the surviving founder finds himself now working
side-by-side with the recently deceased founder’s 17-year-old son or daughter. Very quickly, the surviving

Core Value:
Personal Development: Saint Leo University stresses the
development of every person's mind,
spirit, and body for a balanced life. All members of the Saint
Leo University community must
demonstrate their commitment to personal development to help
strengthen the character of our
community.
In order to improve ourselves and the world around us, we need
to learn to adjust and cope with
life’s difficulties and make effective decisions within these
difficulties. PSY110 HA directly
confronts these challenges with opportunities for students to
learn about scientifically-sound
methods of assessing their own personality and behavioral
patterns. By fostering self-reflection,
4. this course encourages students to more deeply examine their
own thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. Likewise, students are asked to participate in stress
management. Engaging in the
application of relaxation and stress reduction, PSY110 HA
provides a direct method for
improving well-being. By engaging students in self-exploration
and the management of stress,
PSY110 HA’s core course content is an essential starting point
for cultivating personal insight
and character.
Evaluation:
Quizzes 20%
Written Assignments 70%
Discussion Questions 10%
Quizzes (5% each of final grade)
Students’ performance will be assessed with 4 objective, non-

outside of class. Some instructors
may choose to include short answer and/or essay questions.
Writing Assignments In this course, there are 5 unique course
requirements that you will need
to complete as writing assignments / essays by the designated
deadline. For each, you will be
assigned to explore a topic, assess a situation, or complete a
task then write about your
experience and/or answer questions while addressing concepts
and theories covered in this
course. For each assignment, the specific information
concerning what you are to address and
5. how you are to do it can be found below in this syllabus.
Additional tips: Be certain to carefully review the information
for specific directions and refer to
the Scoring Rubrics provided for each activity for information
on how your writing assignments
will be graded. For each written assignment, write 500 words /
2 pages. A 50 word leeway will
be accepted; otherwise points may be deducted. Use basic APA
style guidelines such as 1”
margins, 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, and
when citing your sources and
listing your References.
Compare and Contrast Critique (15% of final grade)
You are to locate one source of pop psychology and one source
of empirical research and
compare and contrast the merit of the information in each as
follows:
• Begin by searching in the appropriate place for 2 sources that
are fittingly related to each
other on any topic in Psychology. Empirical research can only
be found in professional
journals. The easiest way to find a professional journal article
is by accessing PsycINFO
through the portal at my.saintleo.edu then locating the online
Library. Pop psychology
3
sources are newspapers, news magazines, tabloids, and other
self-help articles found either
6. online or on store shelves that offer advice. Examples include
articles by Dr. Phil, Dear
Abby, Dr. Laura, Tony Robbins, etc. Articles in Psychology
Today and WorldHealth.net are
pop psychology and, although they may report on or refer to
empirical research, they are not
professional journal articles.
4
• To prepare your essay, you should think critically about the
merit of the information in each
article by asking the following questions about each: a.) What
is the main issue, problem, or
intention of the article? b.) In what way(s) does the article
investigate various points of view
and assumptions? c.) What evidence is provided to support the
issue? d.) In what way(s)
does the article discuss consequences and implications of the
reasoning provided? e.) In
what way(s) does the information provided help you make an
informed decision about the
purpose?
• Now, focus on the answers to the above questions and
compare and contrast the 2 sets of
information.
• Determine what your thesis is and state it clearly and
concisely. It should briefly introduce
your topic but more importantly should indicate that your
purpose is to compare and contrast
the merit of the pop psychology article with the merit of the
empirical article. This will be the
7. first sentence of your essay.
• In the body of your essay, you may do a whole-to-whole
comparison of the 2 sets of
information or you may do a (less common) point-to-point
comparison. For a whole-to-
whole comparison, address the information about one of the
articles by discussing its merit
using the critical thinking concepts above, then, do the same for
the second article. For
point-by-point, you should address the first important point
about one article then that same
point about the other, discuss a second point about one then the
other, and so on. You will
want to be very thorough in the body as this is a very large
percentage of your grade on the
essay.
• Your conclusion should summarize how the merit of the pop
psychology article compares
and contrasts with the merit of the empirical article, thus
reaffirming your thesis without
restating it. This is where you conclude with inferences, clearly
address implications or
consequences of accepting the given information, and culminate
any assertions.

with each trait. Choose the most positive information in the
report and reflect upon how that
trait is a personal strength that you possess.
9. • To begin your essay, state and highlight or indicate in italics
or bold your positive Trait. It is
not necessary to define the trait or reiterate the description of it
from your results.
• Now, describe your reaction in the following ways: How does
this trait represent who you
are as a person? Were you surprised by the results? How does
this trait act as a personal
strength, and in what ways do you find having it important and
helpful to your quality of life?
Aside from the test results, what other character strength(s) do
you feel you have, and how
are they important or helpful in reference to your psychological
well-being? Some examples
include leadership, gratitude, spirituality, bravery, honesty,
justice, perseverance,
appreciation of beauty, wisdom, etc. You will want to address
the answers to these
questions clearly and completely as this is 25% of your grade on
the essay.
• Next, explain how you can apply this personality trait /
strength or your other strengths to the
important areas of your life such as work, school, relationships,
play, and/or parenting. You
may even wish to use your strengths in a way that you have not
done before and report on
that. Again, please provide a thorough discussion, as this part
is also worth another 25% of
your grade on the essay.
Refer to the assignment guidelines and scoring rubric for further
information.
10. (UE Key Assignment) Virtual Communication Project (15% of
final grade)
Submit the Virtual Communication Project to Chalk and Wire
no later than Sunday 11:59
EST/EDT of Module 5. The Virtual Communication Project
Chalk & Wire link is located in the
Module 5 folder. Students who do not submit the assignment to
Chalk & Wire will receive a
zero. This is a key assignment assessment; the results are used
to ensure students are
meeting University Exploration program goals. Video and PDF
instructions can be found on the
course home page. PDF instructions are also located in the
Start Here folder.
You are to gather and analyze conversations comparing virtual
to face-to-face interactions.
• Begin by creating a brief 5 question opinion survey/interview
on a topic of interest. This
should include open-ended questions so that the people
surveyed can elaborate on their
answers.
• Complete the survey/interview with 3 people face-to-face then
complete the same
survey/interview with 3 people using virtual communication
such as email, text messaging,
chat room, discussion board, or any other virtual means that you
wish to use.
11. • To prepare your essay, think critically about your results.
• Determine what your thesis is and state it clearly and
concisely. It should briefly introduce
your topic but more importantly should indicate how virtual
interaction compares and
contrasts with face-to-face interaction. This will be the first
sentence of your essay.
6
• In the body of your essay, you should include your survey-
interview questions but it is not
necessary to include your participants’ answers. Focus on the
answers to these questions
and compare and contrast the 2 sets of information. Were your
results what you expected?
How were they similar; how were they different? Was it easier
to interact virtually or face-to-
face? What were the challenges? What were the advantages of
meeting face-to-face
verses meeting virtually? What were the disadvantages of each
way? How did the
differences in the following seem to influence the nature of the
responses: physical distance,
anonymity, richness of communication, visual cues, time? You
will want to be very
thorough in the body as this is a very large percentage of your
grade on the essay.
• Your conclusion should summarize how virtual interaction
with people compares and
contrasts with face-to-face interaction reaffirming your thesis
12. without restating it. This is
where you conclude with an overall summary describing your
insight into what the findings
mean to you and what you learned about yourself in reference to
your psychological well-
being and the method of communication that proves more
effective.
• Please be mindful of using open questions in your survey.
These are questions that require
an explanation / more than a few words. Here are some
examples: What are some of the
things you like about this class? What are the challenges of
going to school while working
full time? How is an online class different from a face-to-face
class? What types of activities
do you enjoy in your class? Describe the consequences of
getting behind. Avoid closed
questions. These are questions that can be answered with a
couple words and offer no
explanation. Here are examples: How many classes are you
taking this semester? What
classes are you taking this semester? When do you have class?
Do you think you are going
to pass? Did you turn in all your assignments? Are the tests
hard? When is the semester
over?
Refer to the assignment guidelines and scoring rubric for further
information.
Stress and Coping Project (15% of final grade)
13. For 2 weeks straight, you are to engage in some stress
management / relaxation technique for
10-15 minutes per day then report on your experience as
explained below.
• Begin by choosing an activity you wish to take on and engage
in for 14 days. Here are some
ideas: walking, jogging, stretching, bicycling, swimming,
weight training, jumping rope, yoga,
Tai Chi, meditation, progressive relaxation, body scanning,
visualization, repetitive prayer,
listening to soothing music, painting or coloring, journaling
about 3 things for which you are
thankful, something you wish for or dream about, or a positive
experience you had during
the day. The idea is to try something that you do not currently
practice each day and stick
with it every day for 2 full weeks. If you are interested in body
scanning meditation or
visualization, here are sample audio/video guides: Body Scan
Meditation or Visualization -
Forest.
• Each day before you engage in your activity, track your
overall mood using a scale of 1 to
10 with 1 being very negative, 5 being neutral, and 10 being
very positive. You should also
track how you feel, using a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being very
agitated, 5 being neutral, and
10 being very calm. When you finish your activity, once again,
track your overall mood and
how you feel. Write down this information every day and even
though you need not submit
it, you will need to summarize your overall results in your
report.
14. 7
• At the end of the 14 days, review the tracking of your moods
and feelings throughout that
time period, and to prepare to write your essay, evaluate the
findings of how your mood and
feelings changed or did not change.
• Begin your essay by clearly describing the stress management
/ relaxation technique you
chose to use. Then discuss the findings that you tracked each
day before and after
engaging in your activity. Be sure to thoroughly address what
you originally expected to find
and then anything that may have surprised you, as this is 25% of
your grade on the essay.
• Next, write an overview of your technique in reference to the
benefits to your psychological
well-being. You should also address any challenges you
encountered and what you learned
from the overall experience. Lastly, be certain to disclose
whether or not you intend to
continue to use the technique in the future. Again, please
provide a thorough discussion, as
this part is also worth another 25% of your grade on the essay.

or bold the titles of each of the
self-assessments you took and briefly describe your results in
terms of your reaction and
how you see your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors coinciding
with your scores. You may
also address what surprised you about the findings. Be certain

Human Ecology
Course Description:
We individual humans, as well as all of human civilization, are
totally interdependent with the global
ecological system – dependent upon clean air, pure water, a
stable climate, healthy forests, healthy
grasslands, healthy ocean ecosystems, and fertile soil with its
teaming microscopic life. Individual humans
and human civilizations are subject to the laws of physics, the
rules of chemistry, and ecological
principles – there are no exceptions! In what ways do we
humans depend upon the ecosystems of Earth?
In what ways does human society affect the ecosystems of
Earth? What can we learn from nature’s laws
about how to live on Earth sustainably? What is a healthy
human ecology? What is the future of human
civilization and its relationship to the ecosphere?
