Active Engagement Using Classroom Response Systems - CSU Pueblo - Jeff Loats
This document discusses the use of classroom response systems, also known as clickers, to promote active engagement in university courses. It provides an overview of techniques like peer instruction and thought questions that can be used with clickers. The evidence suggests that clickers help students learn and perform better on assessments by encouraging participation and concentration. While clickers are effective, the presenter emphasizes that pedagogical techniques are more important than the technology itself, and instructors should start small and focus on conceptual understanding over factual recall.

Formulation of a Research Problem
This document discusses the important steps in formulating a research problem and developing a research question. It emphasizes that a research problem should address a specific question, rather than be an open-ended exploration. Key points covered include defining a clear and focused research question, identifying relevant variables, prioritizing problems based on criteria like relevance and feasibility, developing testable working hypotheses to guide the research, and justifying the chosen problem and research approach. Conducting a preliminary pilot study is also recommended to assess feasibility before finalizing the research plan.

Instructions
A telecom company is considering upgrading their infrastructure in your city and they have hired G&B Consulting. The telecom company would be willing to invest in upgraded lines that offer higher speeds and bandwidth, but it is costly to do so and they are afraid they might make the investment but not have customers willing to upgrade their services which would be needed to recoup their profits. The alternative would be to keep the old infrastructure, but there are already a high amount of service complaints from the customer base. The telecom company needs to determine if investing in the improved service will pay off for them by having a sufficient amount of customers buy the upgraded service. You have been tasked with helping them determine their optimum strategy.

Instructions
For this week's assignment respond to one of the following options, and include Option 1, 2, or 3 as part of your heading.
Option 1:
The first option is to name and describe in detail a key specific and recent healthcare technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your approach to what a utilitarian and ethical egoist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.
Option 2:
In the second option, name and describe in detail a key specific and recent social technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your moral approach to what a utilitarian and social contract ethicist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.
Option 3:
John Doe, Patient One, is in late stage of kidney disease. If he does not receive a new kidney, then he is predicted to die within a week. Doe is 45, single, and has no children. Doctors theorize that Doe damaged his kidney by not following a low-salt diet. Doe inherited one million dollars and is known for giving money to charity. Without a transplant, he will probably be forced to spend all his money searching for a kidney outside of the usual legal channels. Patient Two is Jane Doe (no relation to John). Patient Two is a mother of two children (ages 21 and 24). She is divorced and 55 years old. She developed kidney problems due to eating a high-fat and high-sugar diet. If she does not receive a kidney within one month, doctors believe she will die. Patient Three is an orphan. This orphan lives in a state facility. She was born with a genetic condition that constantly damages her kidney. The only known approach to her condition is to provide her with a kidney transplant every so often. She is 11 and has already undergone two kidney transplants. She will perish in two months if she does not receive another transplant.
All three patients are at the same hospital. The hospital only has one kidney to give out. The orphan's birth parents were known to be of a religion that is opposed to organ donation. The other patients come from religions that do not oppose organ donation. Who should get the kidney? Why should that candidate receive it over the others? Devise a course of social action and a solution for this case by using the ethics of egoism and then utilitarianism to a key moral conflict involving health care in this case. Appraise the interests of diverse populations (in terms of ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) and how they ...
Master's Project Presentation
This study examined the effects of using response cards with at-risk students. The researchers found that:
1) Using response cards increased group opportunities to respond and decreased individual opportunities to respond, compared to only using hand-raising.
2) Response card use also increased the number of correct academic responses from students during lessons.

Bioethics Case Study
1.
1.Bioethics Case Study: This assignment asks you to examine a current ethical controversy case study. The paper is informal, but should be in APA style, and does not need an abstract or cover page. With a minimum of two pages and a maximum of four pages A reference page is needed. In-text citations should be in APA format. Papers will be graded on a 0 to 25-point scale.
Case Study in Primary care:
One hypothetical case study involves Jim a 54, year old patient who has recently diagnose with hypertension and his Creatinine and BUN laboratory results are elevated, if left untreated, will result in kidney failure. The patient refuses to take the medication because he said it will affect his sex life The NP must work with the patient to respect the fact that he doesn’t want the medication (autonomy), and needs to find a solution that would prevent him from going into kidney failure and other complications, which is in his best interest (beneficence). Although medications are the best choice, forcing the patient to accept the medication will result in probably patient leaving the care (non-maleficence). Finally, the NP needs to consider the impact that the patient’s choices might have on others if he starts to go into preventable kidney failure, he’ll need dialysis, which affects other people who need the same treatment (justice). So before making the final decision the NP must consider all four principles of health care ethics, which will help the NP make the choice that will have the best possible benefits for both the patient and society.
Questions?
1. What are the skills necessary for the provider to identify, address, and assess this clinical ethical issue?
2. What are the provider’s obligations when a patient discloses does he not intent to follow the treatment?
3. What are the ethical considerations in evaluating a patient’s failure to adhere to a prescribed therapy?
4. Will you terminate care for this patient? What are the implications?

Using patient reported outcome measure in a cross-cultural context: conceptua...Office of Health Economics
This document discusses key conceptual and linguistic issues that must be considered when using patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures in cross-cultural contexts. It notes that while PRO instruments are increasingly used internationally, little is known about how culture impacts measurement. The document outlines factors to consider across the development, validation, adaptation and interpretation of cross-cultural PRO measures, including evaluating the relevance of concepts and response formats across cultures and accounting for potential response biases between populations. It emphasizes the need for more research on optimizing cross-cultural PRO methodologies.1.Use the following guidelines to critique the research article

The document summarizes a study that examined how a science curriculum called PRACCIS affected students' scientific reasoning skills. PRACCIS focuses on having students develop and justify scientific models based on evidence. The study analyzed student essays about whether genetic resistance to HIV exists. It found that after experiencing the PRACCIS module, more students acknowledged alternative models and used multiple pieces of evidence to strengthen their arguments. However, further research is still needed to determine if these improvements were specifically due to PRACCIS or just exposure to more evidence. The study also showed room for improving students' understanding of statistical concepts like sample size.

Students often lack advanced search skills for academic research. Surveys have found that graduate students rarely use search strategies like Boolean operators, truncation, or proximity searches. Most college students start research with Google rather than academic databases, and they show overreliance on simple keyword searches. Large studies also found students have difficulty framing topics or questions and primarily use Google/Wikipedia for everyday research. A survey of undergraduates found most found research information from non-academic sources rather than the library, indicating library instruction could play a larger role in students' research process.Assignment 2 RA Annotated BibliographyThe foundation of a rese.docx
Assignment 2: RA: Annotated Bibliography
The foundation of a research study comes from an understanding of the theory and from knowledge that is set forth by the literature in the field. Before a researcher can develop a sound and needed research design, he or she must first determine what is already known, how the topic has previously been studied, and where there are gaps in the knowledge and/or techniques that have been used to study the research problem.
In this module, you will further explore the research topic that you chose in M1 Assignment 2. Additionally, this will be the time to make any needed changes to your research question before you submit your proposal in M5 Assignment 2 RA 2. For this assignment, you will create a 3- to 4-page document following the directions given below.
Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, locate 6 peer-reviewed articles that could be used for the literature review portion of the research proposal in M5 Assignment 2 RA 2. The articles should fall into the following categories:
· 2 quantitative studies
· 2 qualitative studies
· 1 mixed-methods study
· 1 theoretical or research design of your choice
For each article, cover the following points in 250–350 words:
· The problem to be studied
· The rationale for the study
· The type of research that was conducted (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods)
· The data collection strategy
· The data analysis tools that were used
· A summary of the findings
· A statement of how this article will support your proposed study
Present your work in a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document that follows the following format:
· Reference the source in APA format.
· Follow the reference with a single block paragraph of 250–350 words comprising your annotation (summary, evaluation, and reflection).
· The whole block should be double-spaced and indented.
· Repeat for the next article—don’t forget that your articles should be listed in alphabetical order just as you would on a standard APA reference page.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
Submission Details:
· By Wednesday, September 20, 2017, save your document as M3_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc and submit it to the M3 Assignment 2 RA Dropbox.

For this week's assignment respond to one of the following options, and include Option 1, 2, or 3 as part of your heading.
Option 1:
The first option is to name and describe in detail a key specific and recent healthcare technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your approach to what a utilitarian and ethical egoist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.
Option 2:
In the second option, name and describe in detail a key specific and recent social technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your moral approach to what a utilitarian and social contract ethicist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.
Option 3:
John Doe, Patient One, is in late stage of kidney disease. If he does not receive a new kidney, then he is predicted to die within a week. Doe is 45, single, and has no children. Doctors theorize that Doe damaged his kidney by not following a low-salt diet. Doe inherited one million dollars and is known for giving money to charity. Without a transplant, he will probably be forced to spend all his money searching for a kidney outside of the usual legal channels. Patient Two is Jane Doe (no relation to John). Patient Two is a mother of two children (ages 21 and 24). She is divorced and 55 years old. She developed kidney problems due to eating a high-fat and high-sugar diet. If she does not receive a kidney within one month, doctors believe she will die. Patient Three is an orphan. This orphan lives in a state facility. She was born with a genetic condition that constantly damages her kidney. The only known approach to her condition is to provide her with a kidney transplant every so often. She is 11 and has already undergone two kidney transplants. She will perish in two months if she does not receive another transplant.
All three patients are at the same hospital. The hospital only has one kidney to give out. The orphan's birth parents were known to be of a religion that is opposed to organ donation. The other patients come from religions that do not oppose organ donation. Who should get the kidney? Why should that candidate receive it over the others? Devise a course of social action and a solution for this case by using the ethics of egoism and then utilitarianism to a key moral conflict involving health care in this case. Appraise the interests of diverse populations (in terms of ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) and how they ...
Master's Project Presentation
This study examined the effects of using response cards with at-risk students. The researchers found that:
1) Using response cards increased group opportunities to respond and decreased individual opportunities to respond, compared to only using hand-raising.
2) Response card use also increased the number of correct academic responses from students during lessons.
3) Students performed better on mastery tests after lessons using response cards versus lessons using only hand-raising.
The researchers concluded that response cards are an effective strategy for increasing participation and performance among at-risk students.

Bioethics Case Study
1.
1.Bioethics Case Study: This assignment asks you to examine a current ethical controversy case study. The paper is informal, but should be in APA style, and does not need an abstract or cover page. With a minimum of two pages and a maximum of four pages A reference page is needed. In-text citations should be in APA format. Papers will be graded on a 0 to 25-point scale.
Case Study in Primary care:
One hypothetical case study involves Jim a 54, year old patient who has recently diagnose with hypertension and his Creatinine and BUN laboratory results are elevated, if left untreated, will result in kidney failure. The patient refuses to take the medication because he said it will affect his sex life The NP must work with the patient to respect the fact that he doesn’t want the medication (autonomy), and needs to find a solution that would prevent him from going into kidney failure and other complications, which is in his best interest (beneficence). Although medications are the best choice, forcing the patient to accept the medication will result in probably patient leaving the care (non-maleficence). Finally, the NP needs to consider the impact that the patient’s choices might have on others if he starts to go into preventable kidney failure, he’ll need dialysis, which affects other people who need the same treatment (justice). So before making the final decision the NP must consider all four principles of health care ethics, which will help the NP make the choice that will have the best possible benefits for both the patient and society.
Questions?
1. What are the skills necessary for the provider to identify, address, and assess this clinical ethical issue?
2. What are the provider’s obligations when a patient discloses does he not intent to follow the treatment?
3. What are the ethical considerations in evaluating a patient’s failure to adhere to a prescribed therapy?
4. Will you terminate care for this patient? What are the implications?

Using patient reported outcome measure in a cross-cultural context: conceptua...Office of Health Economics
This document discusses key conceptual and linguistic issues that must be considered when using patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures in cross-cultural contexts. It notes that while PRO instruments are increasingly used internationally, little is known about how culture impacts measurement. The document outlines factors to consider across the development, validation, adaptation and interpretation of cross-cultural PRO measures, including evaluating the relevance of concepts and response formats across cultures and accounting for potential response biases between populations. It emphasizes the need for more research on optimizing cross-cultural PRO methodologies.1.Use the following guidelines to critique the research article

The document summarizes a study that examined how a science curriculum called PRACCIS affected students' scientific reasoning skills. PRACCIS focuses on having students develop and justify scientific models based on evidence. The study analyzed student essays about whether genetic resistance to HIV exists. It found that after experiencing the PRACCIS module, more students acknowledged alternative models and used multiple pieces of evidence to strengthen their arguments. However, further research is still needed to determine if these improvements were specifically due to PRACCIS or just exposure to more evidence. The study also showed room for improving students' understanding of statistical concepts like sample size.

Students often lack advanced search skills for academic research. Surveys have found that graduate students rarely use search strategies like Boolean operators, truncation, or proximity searches. Most college students start research with Google rather than academic databases, and they show overreliance on simple keyword searches. Large studies also found students have difficulty framing topics or questions and primarily use Google/Wikipedia for everyday research. A survey of undergraduates found most found research information from non-academic sources rather than the library, indicating library instruction could play a larger role in students' research process.Assignment 2 RA Annotated BibliographyThe foundation of a rese.docx
Assignment 2: RA: Annotated Bibliography
The foundation of a research study comes from an understanding of the theory and from knowledge that is set forth by the literature in the field. Before a researcher can develop a sound and needed research design, he or she must first determine what is already known, how the topic has previously been studied, and where there are gaps in the knowledge and/or techniques that have been used to study the research problem.
In this module, you will further explore the research topic that you chose in M1 Assignment 2. Additionally, this will be the time to make any needed changes to your research question before you submit your proposal in M5 Assignment 2 RA 2. For this assignment, you will create a 3- to 4-page document following the directions given below.
Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, locate 6 peer-reviewed articles that could be used for the literature review portion of the research proposal in M5 Assignment 2 RA 2. The articles should fall into the following categories:
· 2 quantitative studies
· 2 qualitative studies
· 1 mixed-methods study
· 1 theoretical or research design of your choice
For each article, cover the following points in 250–350 words:
· The problem to be studied
· The rationale for the study
· The type of research that was conducted (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods)
· The data collection strategy
· The data analysis tools that were used
· A summary of the findings
· A statement of how this article will support your proposed study
Present your work in a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document that follows the following format:
· Reference the source in APA format.
· Follow the reference with a single block paragraph of 250–350 words comprising your annotation (summary, evaluation, and reflection).
· The whole block should be double-spaced and indented.
· Repeat for the next article—don’t forget that your articles should be listed in alphabetical order just as you would on a standard APA reference page.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
Submission Details:
· By Wednesday, September 20, 2017, save your document as M3_A2_Lastname_Firstname.doc and submit it to the M3 Assignment 2 RA Dropbox.
RA is worth 200 points and will be graded according to the following rubric.

During the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, more than 13,000 French Protestants (Huguenots) were killed because of their religious beliefs. Based on the information in our textbook and any other research you might do, who do you think was most responsible for the religious tensions getting out of control and erupting into widespread bloodshed? Why?
Based on the information in our text books, I believe that both the Catholics and the Calvinists brought the religious tensions on themselves. With the birth of new religions on the rise there then became a power struggle among the religions. The Protestant Reformation that began set the way for religious extremism. " The agreement helped maintain a relative calm in the lands of the Holy Roman Empire by granting each ruler the right to determine the religion of his territory" (Hunt, p483) This opened the doors for many religious disputes to follow as the years went on. Each war started as a religious dispute but went on to reveal other motives, like political gains, power and greed. As time went on and religion began to spread and more and more people began to covert, there became major power struggles. When the bloodshed began with the Protestants and the Catholics not too much was solved after that, during the bloodshed, Catholic mobs killed over 3000 Huguenots in Paris. These wars about religion have simply paved the way through the years for more conflict regarding religion. I can t just blame one party and pick it to be responsible , i think all parties played a role in the tension caused by religion, each person wanted to believe in what they believed in and didn’t feel like it should have to be mandated.

A researcher plans a study in which a crucial step is offering participants a food reward. It is important that the three food rewards be equal in appeal. Thus, a prestudy was designed in which participants were asked which of the rewards they preferred. Of the 60 participants, 16 preferred cupcakes, 26 preferred candy bars, and 18 favored dried apricots. Do these scores suggest that the different foods are differentially preferred by people in general? (Use the .05 significance level.)

The governing board of Religious hired a consulting company to evaluate its strategic performance. As part of the consultant’s evaluation, several leaders of Religious’ units were asked their perspective of the organization’s performance.
You are working for the consultant. Your job is to identify the issues from the response that should be considered further by the consultant team and possibly discussed with the governing board and the CEO. The firm has a rule, “Never offer a criticism or negative finding without suggesting how the client organization can correct it,” so you must indicate what sort of correction would be recommended as part of your list. Because you know there were about two dozen other interviews, you decide you should rank your issues in importance, to make sure the most critical are discussed.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Describe the five (5) important elements of the governing board’ s agenda for areas of improvement in core functions.
Many organizations now use a balanced scorecard or multiple dimensions of performance measurement, such as productivity, profit, market trends, quality, patient satisfaction, and worker satisfaction. Describe three (3) key performance dimensions (other than those mentioned here) and include specific measures that Religious Health Care could use to improve overall institutional performance.
Determine the performance measures Religious Health Care could use to evaluate nursing staff performance in its Emergency Room. Explain the rationale for each performance measure.
Suggest the steps that should be taken next by Religious Health Care to get better at managing specific patient groups. Explain the rationale for each step.
Decide what strategies Religious Health Care could implement to enhance its public image and increase market share. Explain the rationale for each strategy.
Describe two (2) technology-based data-collection strategie.

Week 8 -- Provide an example of some form of misrepresentation in media over the years (includes: staging news, re-creations, selective editing and fictional methods). Give some background for context and answer; why, in your opinion is this an example of misrepresentation and why is it egregious? Provide the link to the example.
Additionally for the Week 8 discussion, consider media bias. Both conservative and liberal sides claim that there is media bias (to the other side of their beliefs) yet, it is evident that there is bias on both sides. It is no secret that the traditional views of the following 3 media outlets are as follows: Fox News--Conservative/Right, MSNBC--Liberal/Left, CNN--Moderate. A) Track a relatively current news story and report to the class the way the 3 media outlets presented the story. Were there surprises to you in your findings? B) Also pick one additional media outlet of your choice (perhaps NPR, AL JAZEERA , or BBC) and look at their perspective of the same story. Please comment on at least 3 of your classmates' postings with questions or thoughtful, respectful, thorough responses.

Week 7 Exercise Prosocial BehaviorMuch of what we tend to focus.docx
Week 7 Exercise: Prosocial Behavior
Much of what we tend to focus on when we study social psychology are topics that often have a negative connotation such as conformity, prejudice, aggression or obedience. A huge component of the study of social psychology; however, focuses on prosocial behavior – behaviors that focus on compassion and helping others. For this activity, you will focus on this more uplifting aspect of social psychology. Topics that fall under the area of prosocial behavior include altruism, helping, bystander intervention, empathy, and compassion, among others.
For this exercise, pick one day and seek to structure your thoughts and behaviors entirely around helping others. With each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask yourself "is there a way I might help another here?" Hold a door for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social settings that involve interactions with others (rather than something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions throughout the day as possible.
At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood, feelings, attitude, etc.
Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to engage in prosocial behaviors.
At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to engage in prosocial behavior outside of your home due to COVID-19 restrictions/precautions, you are encouraged to engage in such behaviors with your family/people with whom you are sheltering.
You may also engage in prosocial behavior with others virtually or through other means (e.g., through video calls, emails, etc...). This assignment will be more meaningful if you are able to engage in-person with acquaintances or strangers, but you can still find ways to make a significant difference to others even if quarantined or sheltering in place.
In a 5-7 slide PowerPoint presentation, not counting title or reference slides:
Summarize your experience. Describe the prosocial behaviors you engaged in, others' reactions to these behaviors, and your assessment of any changes in mood, attitude, good fortune, or anything else of note you experienced.
Review what you have learned about human behavior in social settings this week in your readings. Connect what you learned or experienced through your day of conscious, prosocial behavior with the terms, concepts, and theories from your research. Integrate at least two academic sources (your assigned readings/resources can comprise one of these sources), citing any references used in APA format.
Describe any new insights you gained through this exper.

Week Lecture - Evaluating the Quality of Financial ReportsThe coll.docx
Week Lecture - Evaluating the Quality of Financial Reports
The collapse of Enron in the early 2000s, which was a result of massive financial manipulation, gave rise to a new era of financial reporting supervision with the establishment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002. The Act required all executives to give certified and accurate financial information. Various mechanisms were put in place to reduce financial accounting irregularities (Cunningham, 2005). Managers are therefore required to have a clear understanding of the regulations put in place and the bodies which enforce them in order to conform with them accordingly.
Issuance of financial reports and sale of securities to the public is monitored by such organizations as:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRA)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has developed the financial accounting standards to be used in the U.S. since 1973. Its function is to oversee the preparation of financial reports by non-governmental entities. FASB ensures that financial statements contain information relevant for sound decision making. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been charged with the statutory authority of establishing reporting standards for U.S. public companies. Although it does not develop the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), it has power to monitor financial reporting. The SEC seeks its authority from three security laws: The Securities Act of 1933 (SEC, 2012b), The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (SEC, 2012c), The Investment Company Act of 1940 (SEC, 2012a), The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SEC, 2005), and The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (SEC, 2014).
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRA) regulates securities firms conducting business with the public in the U.S. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) develops and Publishes International Financial Reporting Standards through the help of its 15-full time members from different countries working with stakeholders all over the world.
The usefulness of financial reports to readers depends on report quality. The conceptual framework for financial reporting categorizes qualitative characteristics of financial reports into two broad categories: fundamental qualitative characteristics, which include relevance and faithful representation, and enhancing qualitative characteristics, which make financial reports more useful and include comparability, timeliness, verifiability, and understandability. Presentation of financial reporting is limited by materiality and cost constraints. There exist differences in U.S. reporting requirements and the international requirements, although efforts have been undertaken to congregate the U.S. GAAP rules with the international financial reporting rules (Oxford Analytica, 2009). Differences in U.S. reporting req.
