Reflection Letter and Self-Evaluation Points 50 (Reflecti.docx
Reflection Letter and Self-Evaluation
Points: 50 (Reflection Letter--graded on completion) 50 (self-evaluation graded on substance)
100 total
Due: End of Final Exam period (5/22) to Blackboard
Format: (Reflection Letter) Printed letter, properly formatted, 1.5 single-paced pages
Self-Evaluation: 1-2 single-spaced pages
This assignment has two separate but related tasks. You should write them up and present them
separately, but you can upload them in one file if you wish.
Reflection Letter:
This reflection letter is a reflection that you will address to me on how you have changed as a
communicator and what you’ve taken away from the course. It is also a space for you to share
other things you think I should know or other things you feel.
WHY:
I assign this for three reasons. First, we know that self-reflection and evaluation is a useful
element of learning. Taking the time to look at what you’ve gained or learned helps you…learn.
Second, it allows me to see what is “sticking” from the course. If I see that almost everyone is
taking away or finding particular topics really useful, that’s really helpful for me. Finally, it gives
me a chance to get some feedback on the course itself and how I teach it. We will do teaching
and course evaluation forms, but those are often returned after the next semester has begun and
do not always provide useful feedback. Please be candid/frank in these reflections. These letters
are graded almost entirely on completion/depth. I will read the detailed feedback, including
critical feedback, after final grades are entered. That’s because I want you to feel comfortable
telling me if you did not like an assignment or the way I taught or something else. You giving me
that feedback will not negatively affect your final grade. Simultaneously, if you write me a three-
page sonnet about my teaching brilliance, it’ll be a big self-esteem boost over the break, but also
won’t affect your final grade. Finally, I know that this semester was not what any of us signed up
for. So, I want to give you a space to (if you wish) vent about life, talk about how things were
different, or just think on paper).
HOW:
In no more than two single-spaced pages, I’d like you to reflect on how you have experienced
the class and what you make of the ideas that we have worked with thus far. These letters are
another opportunity for you to reflect and provide me feedback on the experiences in this class,
ultimately contributing to the improvement/adaptation of this course for future students. Make it
interesting and engaging, and please, be candid. Here are some guiding questions. Don’t feel like
you have to answer them all, but feel free to address them if you so desire. You can format this
letter/these answers however you wish, but I highly addressing these issues.

create your Rough Draft in a new Word document. To do this, you will use the ques-
tions in each section below to fill in any missing information. You’ll also incorporate
the feedback you received from your instructor.
Your Word document should include two sections: 1.) Rough Draft and 2.) Feedback
Reflection. It’s exciting to see how far your essay has come in just a few short
weeks!
ASSIGNMENT 3
Section 1
Rough Draft
Introduction Paragraph(s)
Did you grab the reader’s attention? (For example, by using statistics, a
personal story, a compelling statement, a question, etc.)
Is your thesis statement well-constructed?
Does it tell the reader what your essay is about?
Does it communicate your position?
Is it one or two sentences long?
Did you provide enough background information to help your audience under
stand the subject matter and your position?
Did you define key terms for your audience?
Body Paragraphs
Does each paragraph include a topic sentence?
What are your main supporting points?
What questions might the reader have that you should address?
What transitions do you use to move from one idea to the next, and from one
paragraph to the next?
How do you use the three audience appeals?
Logic: Do you persuade your audience that your position is logical and
reasonable? Do you include facts and sources to back up your claims?
Credibility: Do you persuade your audience that you are credible and
trustworthy by using the appropriate point of view, voice, tone,
examples, and credible sources? Are your points ethical and honest?
Emotion: Do you appeal to the emotions of your audience by framing
your position as a problem they can relate to or with which they
can sympathize?
Counter Perspective(s)
It is important to address counter perspective(s) in your essay. Use the
following criteria and select one to three counter perspectives to help
strengthen your position:
Is there evidence to support the counter perspective? Does the
evidence include fallacies (flaws in reasoning)? If so, identify
and explain.
Does the counter perspective leave out an important point? If so,
you should point this out.
Is there more recent or credible evidence to support your perspective?
Conclusion Paragraph(s)
Do you paraphrase or restate your thesis in a new way?
Do you summarize your main points?
Do you state any future research possibilities, if applicable?
Do you leave a lasting impression? How will you get your audience to continue
thinking about your topic and/or take action?
Editing and References
Did you run your Word document through Grammarly and fix the errors?
Did you follow AP.
Beasts of No Nation EssayTimelineWeek of April 10-13 Watch .docx
Beasts of No Nation Essay
Timeline:
Week of April 10-13: Watch Beasts of No Nation during class periods.
Mon. April 17: First Draft of Film Paper Due
Week of April 17-20 : One-on-One conferences about the
paper.
Tues. April 25: Final Draft of Film Essay due in D2L dropbox.
Directions:
Choose ONE of the following questions and write a well-planned out, coherent essay that argues a point that you want to make about the movie.
1. How does the film address the question of what “family” means?
2. How does the film address the idea of putting one’s trust in God?
3. How does the film show how a young child can be recruited into the military?
4. How does the film treat the subject of resistance against an unjust military government?
Just a reminder of what a good essay consists of, the essay should contain:
1. A nice introductory paragraph that “leads in” to your thesis statement. Your thesis statement should not be the first sentence of the essay.
2. A clear and precise thesis statement that will alert the reader what the essay is going to be about.
3. A good, strong topic sentence in each paragraph, usually the first sentence of the paragraph.
4. Enough development in each paragraph to fully support the main point (aka topic sentence).
5. A conclusion that either summarizes the main points of the essay or emphasizes the very important point(s).
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VISITING A WEBSITE LIKE WIKIPEDIA OR SPARKNOTES. I ESPECIALLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT STUDENTS VISIT ANY WEBSITE WHERE THEY CAN PURCHASE PAPER WITH A CREDIT CARD. Students who visit these websites looking for ideas tend to accidentally plagiarize the sites in their papers. Accidental plagiarism is still plagiarism and will receive the same zero that plagiarizing on purpose gets.
WHAT I EXPECT FROM THIS ESSAY
1. I want this essay to be an analysis of The Hunger Games. I DO NOT WANT A PLOT SUMMARY. Notice that every sample question that I provided for you above required some sort of deep thinking and analysis. Your essay should show such analytical ability.
2. Your paper should be foregrounded in LOGOS, not ethos or pathos. You may use some ethos or pathos if it helps you to make your point, but the dominant mode of persuasion that you should be using in this paper is logos.
3. DO NOT USE PURE SPECULATION! Always back your assertions up with evidence from the movie.
4. Use specific details. Do not be vague.
RUBRIC
I will be scoring your essay based upon the following criteria:
Formatting (6 points)
Your essay should formatted in MLA format. Use the Formatting a Paper in MLA Format link in the MLA Formatting folder under Course Content to learn how to format a paper properly. One point will be counted off for each of these that are not done properly:
· 12 point font
· Times New Roman font
· Paper margins 1” around (this one should be easy since it’s the default on Word, therefore not requiring any changes
· Double Spacing
· No extra space bet ...

I know that several of you are concerned about the format and length of this paper since they are not defined. Here are some tips that I have learned about Operations Management that might help.
Two ways that business professionals display information is in a Decision Paper or Information Paper. These are both very similar with the only difference being that the information paper is designed to inform a decision maker and a decision paper is providing the information necessary to make a decision. At this point in your short Operations Manager career I would recommend an Information Paper approach. This way you can specifically inform your boss (the CEO) what you have done to the factory and what the results were.
Here is a typical Information Paper format.
Title Page: With your name, the title of your paper (use something real, not MGT 307), and a date
Body:
Start with an introductory paragraph that informs the boss of what you are trying to tell them.
Bottom Line paragraph that says where you are and what is next. This should be short.
Assumptions paragraph that states any assumptions that you made or will have to make in the future.
Facts and Analysis paragraphs are the meat and potatoes. What did you do? What did you expect to happen? What really did happen? Support these facts with graphics. The graphics can be visual displays of data or tables of data. You choose how best to sell your results. You can do this either as a week by week discussion or by a topic (forecasting, scheduling, etc.).
Summary and conclusion: This set of paragraphs brings all of the highlights to a close.
References – if you need them. I don’t require them unless you specifically call out something that the boss may need to take a deeper look at.
Hopefully this format now allows you to tell your story about the three things that you are being graded on:
1. How did your team’s factory improve over time? Use real metrics to show that your team became more effective and more efficient. 15 points
2. What did your team do and how did it affect your team’s results? Use real metrics to show what happened. 50 points
3. What would you do differently and why? Use information from the book/slides/videos/class to support your comments. 35 points
Good luck!

Journal Entries: Format and Grading Criteria
Points: /100 points
Following specific in-class exercises (see Syllabus for Learning Journal Activities) you will choose one of the LJ activities and write a 3-6 page journal entry. This assignment is your way of reflecting and commenting on the experience. The format is designed to mirror the learning process, making you conscious of each element as you work to actively learn from the class or group exercises. The following questions should be used as a guide for structuring your journal entries; however the content of each entry is up to you. That is, which elements of an exercise you choose to address depend upon what you feel was most important, interesting, and/or surprising about the experience.
I. CONCRETE EXPERIENCE Exercise Description: What happened during the experience?
Does this section contain a clear, objective description of the exercise? (e.g., as if describing to others)
Does it contain a subjective description of feelings and perceptions that occurred during the experience?
Does it provide too much irrelevant detail? This section should not be longer than 1-2 paragraphs
II. REFLECTIVE OBSERVATION Themes: Upon further review, what seemed to be happening?
Does this section look at the experience from the different points of view of the major actors involved?
Did you attempt to figure out why the people involved, and you in particular, behaved as they did?
Did you make use of verbal and non-v.
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS .docx
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS 2
Maintaining a strong security system in the networking environment to prevent any form of attack and compromise information has been a formidable problem in recent times. There is fairly a small number of operating systems compared to the vast number of computer systems that are in operation. This situation has created a leeway for cyber attackers to target the systems easily (Palmer, 2010). Cyber attackers have formulated diverse techniques to exploit the homogeneity of the network environment. This article will explore the benefits related to diversity and commonality in the event of a malicious attack.
The purpose of any security strategy is to completely eliminate or at least limit the impact of damage to a successful attack on a particular system. At some point, any computer can be vulnerable to malware attacks, and the most important aspect in a case like this is to achieve an optimum level of preparedness. Diversity of the operating systems is beneficial in several ways, though an organization could incur an extra operational cost. Moving some groups of users to various different operating systems helps avert the overall damage caused by the SQL Slammer and MSBlast worms. Malicious-code attacks directed towards the commonly used operating system, windows, have been so rampant, thereby necessitating the need for improved security procedures of the computers (Anderson & Anderson, 2010).
Significant operational damages have been incurred before by businesses and enterprise to extensive downtime, brought about by malware attacks. Adopting diversity in operating systems comes along with several security benefits;
· Helps contain malicious-code attacks- Virus and worm attacks target and exploit the flaws in windows operating systems. In a case like this, availing an alternative operating system would be critical in helping to contain the spread to other PCs owned by the business. The impact of the attack is leveled down since some core business can be carried out in the event of an attack.
· Directing some pressure towards Microsoft- Health competition among service and commodity provider is beneficial for the consumers. Being diversified in terms of operating systems pushes dominant companies like Microsoft to try so hard to meet the security needs of their customers.
· It helps speed up innovations in the sense that other operating system developers will work towards improving their operating systems to match that of the windows. Such innovations include stable security systems that prevent malware from instilling too much damage to the computer system.
Exercising commonality in the usage of operating systems comes with its own benefits, too, especially when dealing with a malicious attack. The business would not incur too much cost, in the event of a .
Common Mistakes I see on this paper are1. Using summaries and .docx
Common Mistakes I see on this paper are
1. Using summaries and reviews written by other authors rather than using the actual IOM report and viewing each section, or viewing the IOM's summaries of it's report.
2. Forgetting to include information on how the IOM report will or has impacted one's practice. This is worth a high percentage of points
3. Not formatting the paper in APA, citing sources or using current sources like those supplied in our course resources for the week (since I am supplying a template APA should be flawless)
4. Going over the allowed length (papers that are over the criteria for length will be returned for revision)
5. Including background information, losing focus - remember the goal is to discuss the recommendations for education, practice, leadership and discuss how they can be achieved.
6. Ineffective introduction, too long, does not introduce the topic briefly, does not include a summary of what the paper will cover
LINKS TO THE IOM REPORT AND IOM SUMMARIES OF THE REPORT (These should be your main references for the report, don’t use a summary written about the report, use the IOMs summaries)
Download whole report as guest

Summary of Report on Practice
Summary of recommendations
Great infograph that highlights IOM recommendations. Here is the link. This link gives an outline of the IOM's recommendations. Both offer an option that provides quick access to needed information in a brief and easy to follow format. Hope these are helpful.
How to Reference and Cite the IOM Report
IOM will each have the same author (the Institute of Medicine is the author) and year you will differentiate them by adding a small case letter after the year of publication in both your reference and citation. The reference would be listed in alphabetical order using the title. I have posted examples below.

The Cross-Category Effect
Mere Social Categorization Is Sufficient to Elicit an
Own-Group Bias in Face Recognition
Michael J. Bernstein, Steven G. Young, and Kurt Hugenberg
Miami University
ABSTRACT—Although the cross-race effect (CRE) is a well-
established phenomenon, both perceptual-expertise and
social-categorization models have been proposed to ex-
plain the effect. The two studies reported here investigated
the extent to which categorizing other people as in-group
versus out-group members is sufficient to elicit a pattern of
face recognition analogous to that of the CRE, even when
perceptual expertise with the stimuli is held constant. In
Study 1, targets were categorized as members of real-life
in-groups and out-groups (based on university affiliation),
whereas in Study 2, targets were categorized into experi-
mentally created .

Reflection Letter and Self-Evaluation
Points: 50 (Reflection Letter--graded on completion) 50 (self-evaluation graded on substance)
100 total
Due: End of Final Exam period (5/22) to Blackboard
Format: (Reflection Letter) Printed letter, properly formatted, 1.5 single-paced pages
Self-Evaluation: 1-2 single-spaced pages
This assignment has two separate but related tasks. You should write them up and present them
separately, but you can upload them in one file if you wish.
Reflection Letter:
This reflection letter is a reflection that you will address to me on how you have changed as a
communicator and what you’ve taken away from the course. It is also a space for you to share
other things you think I should know or other things you feel.
WHY:
I assign this for three reasons. First, we know that self-reflection and evaluation is a useful
element of learning. Taking the time to look at what you’ve gained or learned helps you…learn.
Second, it allows me to see what is “sticking” from the course. If I see that almost everyone is
taking away or finding particular topics really useful, that’s really helpful for me. Finally, it gives
me a chance to get some feedback on the course itself and how I teach it. We will do teaching
and course evaluation forms, but those are often returned after the next semester has begun and
do not always provide useful feedback. Please be candid/frank in these reflections. These letters
are graded almost entirely on completion/depth. I will read the detailed feedback, including
critical feedback, after final grades are entered. That’s because I want you to feel comfortable
telling me if you did not like an assignment or the way I taught or something else. You giving me
that feedback will not negatively affect your final grade. Simultaneously, if you write me a three-
page sonnet about my teaching brilliance, it’ll be a big self-esteem boost over the break, but also
won’t affect your final grade. Finally, I know that this semester was not what any of us signed up
for. So, I want to give you a space to (if you wish) vent about life, talk about how things were
different, or just think on paper).
HOW:
In no more than two single-spaced pages, I’d like you to reflect on how you have experienced
the class and what you make of the ideas that we have worked with thus far. These letters are
another opportunity for you to reflect and provide me feedback on the experiences in this class,
ultimately contributing to the improvement/adaptation of this course for future students. Make it
interesting and engaging, and please, be candid. Here are some guiding questions. Don’t feel like
you have to answer them all, but feel free to address them if you so desire. You can format this
letter/these answers however you wish, but I highly addressing these issues.

ASSIGNMENT 3
Section 1
Rough Draft
Introduction Paragraph(s)
Did you grab the reader’s attention? (For example, by using statistics, a
personal story, a compelling statement, a question, etc.)
Is your thesis statement well-constructed?
Does it tell the reader what your essay is about?
Does it communicate your position?
Is it one or two sentences long?
Did you provide enough background information to help your audience under
stand the subject matter and your position?
Did you define key terms for your audience?
Body Paragraphs
Does each paragraph include a topic sentence?
What are your main supporting points?
What questions might the reader have that you should address?
What transitions do you use to move from one idea to the next, and from one
paragraph to the next?
How do you use the three audience appeals?
Logic: Do you persuade your audience that your position is logical and
reasonable? Do you include facts and sources to back up your claims?
Credibility: Do you persuade your audience that you are credible and
trustworthy by using the appropriate point of view, voice, tone,
examples, and credible sources? Are your points ethical and honest?
Emotion: Do you appeal to the emotions of your audience by framing
your position as a problem they can relate to or with which they
can sympathize?
Counter Perspective(s)
It is important to address counter perspective(s) in your essay. Use the
following criteria and select one to three counter perspectives to help
strengthen your position:
Is there evidence to support the counter perspective? Does the
evidence include fallacies (flaws in reasoning)? If so, identify
and explain.
Does the counter perspective leave out an important point? If so,
you should point this out.
Is there more recent or credible evidence to support your perspective?
Conclusion Paragraph(s)
Do you paraphrase or restate your thesis in a new way?
Do you summarize your main points?
Do you state any future research possibilities, if applicable?

Mon. April 17: First Draft of Film Paper Due
Week of April 17-20 : One-on-One conferences about the
paper.
Tues. April 25: Final Draft of Film Essay due in D2L dropbox.
Directions:
Choose ONE of the following questions and write a well-planned out, coherent essay that argues a point that you want to make about the movie.
1. How does the film address the question of what “family” means?
2. How does the film address the idea of putting one’s trust in God?
3. How does the film show how a young child can be recruited into the military?
4. How does the film treat the subject of resistance against an unjust military government?
Just a reminder of what a good essay consists of, the essay should contain:
1. A nice introductory paragraph that “leads in” to your thesis statement. Your thesis statement should not be the first sentence of the essay.
2. A clear and precise thesis statement that will alert the reader what the essay is going to be about.
3. A good, strong topic sentence in each paragraph, usually the first sentence of the paragraph.
4. Enough development in each paragraph to fully support the main point (aka topic sentence).
5. A conclusion that either summarizes the main points of the essay or emphasizes the very important point(s).
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VISITING A WEBSITE LIKE WIKIPEDIA OR SPARKNOTES. I ESPECIALLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT STUDENTS VISIT ANY WEBSITE WHERE THEY CAN PURCHASE PAPER WITH A CREDIT CARD. Students who visit these websites looking for ideas tend to accidentally plagiarize the sites in their papers. Accidental plagiarism is still plagiarism and will receive the same zero that plagiarizing on purpose gets.
WHAT I EXPECT FROM THIS ESSAY
1. I want this essay to be an analysis of The Hunger Games. I DO NOT WANT A PLOT SUMMARY. Notice that every sample question that I provided for you above required some sort of deep thinking and analysis. Your essay should show such analytical ability.
2. Your paper should be foregrounded in LOGOS, not ethos or pathos. You may use some ethos or pathos if it helps you to make your point, but the dominant mode of persuasion that you should be using in this paper is logos.
3. DO NOT USE PURE SPECULATION! Always back your assertions up with evidence from the movie.
4. Use specific details. Do not be vague.
RUBRIC
I will be scoring your essay based upon the following criteria:

COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS .docx
COMMONALITY AND DIVERSITY OF OPERATING SYSTEMS 2
Maintaining a strong security system in the networking environment to prevent any form of attack and compromise information has been a formidable problem in recent times. There is fairly a small number of operating systems compared to the vast number of computer systems that are in operation. This situation has created a leeway for cyber attackers to target the systems easily (Palmer, 2010). Cyber attackers have formulated diverse techniques to exploit the homogeneity of the network environment. This article will explore the benefits related to diversity and commonality in the event of a malicious attack.
The purpose of any security strategy is to completely eliminate or at least limit the impact of damage to a successful attack on a particular system. At some point, any computer can be vulnerable to malware attacks, and the most important aspect in a case like this is to achieve an optimum level of preparedness. Diversity of the operating systems is beneficial in several ways, though an organization could incur an extra operational cost. Moving some groups of users to various different operating systems helps avert the overall damage caused by the SQL Slammer and MSBlast worms. Malicious-code attacks directed towards the commonly used operating system, windows, have been so rampant, thereby necessitating the need for improved security procedures of the computers (Anderson & Anderson, 2010).
Significant operational damages have been incurred before by businesses and enterprise to extensive downtime, brought about by malware attacks. Adopting diversity in operating systems comes along with several security benefits;
· Helps contain malicious-code attacks- Virus and worm attacks target and exploit the flaws in windows operating systems. In a case like this, availing an alternative operating system would be critical in helping to contain the spread to other PCs owned by the business. The impact of the attack is leveled down since some core business can be carried out in the event of an attack.
· Directing some pressure towards Microsoft- Health competition among service and commodity provider is beneficial for the consumers. Being diversified in terms of operating systems pushes dominant companies like Microsoft to try so hard to meet the security needs of their customers.
· It helps speed up innovations in the sense that other operating system developers will work towards improving their operating systems to match that of the windows. Such innovations include stable security systems that prevent malware from instilling too much damage to the computer system.
Exercising commonality in the usage of operating systems comes with its own benefits, too, especially when dealing with a malicious attack. The business would not incur too much cost, in the event of a .
Common Mistakes I see on this paper are1. Using summaries and .docx
Common Mistakes I see on this paper are
1. Using summaries and reviews written by other authors rather than using the actual IOM report and viewing each section, or viewing the IOM's summaries of it's report.
2. Forgetting to include information on how the IOM report will or has impacted one's practice. This is worth a high percentage of points
3. Not formatting the paper in APA, citing sources or using current sources like those supplied in our course resources for the week (since I am supplying a template APA should be flawless)
4. Going over the allowed length (papers that are over the criteria for length will be returned for revision)
5. Including background information, losing focus - remember the goal is to discuss the recommendations for education, practice, leadership and discuss how they can be achieved.
6. Ineffective introduction, too long, does not introduce the topic briefly, does not include a summary of what the paper will cover
LINKS TO THE IOM REPORT AND IOM SUMMARIES OF THE REPORT (These should be your main references for the report, don’t use a summary written about the report, use the IOMs summaries)

The Cross-Category Effect
Mere Social Categorization Is Sufficient to Elicit an
Own-Group Bias in Face Recognition
Michael J. Bernstein, Steven G. Young, and Kurt Hugenberg
Miami University
ABSTRACT—Although the cross-race effect (CRE) is a well-
established phenomenon, both perceptual-expertise and
social-categorization models have been proposed to ex-
plain the effect. The two studies reported here investigated
the extent to which categorizing other people as in-group
versus out-group members is sufficient to elicit a pattern of
face recognition analogous to that of the CRE, even when
perceptual expertise with the stimuli is held constant. In
Study 1, targets were categorized as members of real-life
in-groups and out-groups (based on university affiliation),
whereas in Study 2, targets were categorized into experi-
mentally created .
Common symptoms of memory changes during the lifetime in healthy.docx
Common symptoms of memory changes during the lifetime in healthy people generally start gradually beginning with those associated with episodic memory i.e. forgetting names of people or details of personally experienced events. While semantic memory does not decline in the same way and can in fact be equal to those of younger people, aging adults typically access general knowledge and information more slowly (Dixon et al., 2006).This is a sign of declining working memory which encompasses processing speed, attentional capability/distractibility and problem solving (Dixon et al., 2006; Richmond et al., 2011). Another type of memory change may stem from a decline in sensory acuity. For example, loss of vision, hearing, taste and smell would all impact how stimuli are encoded and will contribute to additional attentional interference (Wolfe & Horowitz, 2004)
Compared with expected changes in memory functioning over the lifespan, pathological conditions such as anterograde amnesia and loss of semantic memory are much more debilitating. Since typically developing memory decline is gradual and centers around past experiences rather than general knowledge, people are often able to adapt to their “forgetfulness” with the assistance of formal and informal compensatory strategies such as more effortful attention, associative learning of new information, making to-do lists, keeping a journal and/or relying on another close individual to fill in missing pieces of stories and events (Dixon et al., 2006)
While typically aging adults may make a to-do list but have to spend time trying to find where they left it, in the case of anterograde amnesia, this sort of strategy would be ineffective. This is because these individuals would have no memory of even making a list since they have lost the ability to form new memories (Squire & Wixted, 2011). People with this condition are likely to become easily confused in social situations involving unfamiliar people since they will not retain any introductory information provided.
Loss of semantic memory would also be more negatively impactful than loss of episodic memory because an individual would lose the ability to make sense of objects in their everyday environment. For example, they make not be able to identify what a television or a toilet is or what each item is used for. As is the case with anterograde amnesia, compensatory strategies that are effective for typical aging memory decline could not be used for semantic memory loss since the individuals would not be able to engage in metamemory cognitions that would enable them to identify their areas of deficit and the most appropriate strategies to address these (Squire & Wixted, 2011). In addition, in both conditions, the individual would require a high level of external support to live safely.

Common Surface-Level Issues for the Informative Essay(Note Thes.docx
Common Surface-Level Issues for the Informative Essay
(Note: These Surface-Level Issues will be the only grammar/mechanics issues that I will look for in this paper. I will add more in subsequent papers.)
· Have a title! Every written work has a title; yours should be no exception. (The title should be something interesting, and NOT Assignment 1 or Informative Essay!)
· Neither authors nor articles SAY anything (same thing with TALKS ABOUT) – it’s a text. “Anderson argues…” or “Jones believes…” or “Brown states…”
· Always write about the article (or any source you are use) in the present tense. It is a text, which means it always exists in the present. Even if the author is dead, the text is not. This means “Smith notes…” not “Smith noted…”
· The titles of articles belong in quotations marks. Italics are for books and movies.
· Make sure your writing is more formal than your speech – there should be no “I was so freaked out” or “I was totally bummed.” This is a formal essay, so even though it is personal, your writing should reflect formality. Don’t use slang.
· Do not use the word “you” (the second person) in a formal essay. People use it a lot to try to generalize. “You think the Internet is safe, but it’s not.” Instead, you can write, “Many people think the Internet is safe, but it’s not.”
· Avoid using too many rhetorical questions in your essay. A few are fine for effect, but be careful how and why you use them. It is generally not considered a good idea to begin paragraphs with a rhetorical question either.
· Notice how I changed it to, “MANY people think…” rather than, “EVERYONE thinks…” Be careful that you don’t assume too much about what people in general think.
· Introduce all quotes. They should not be their own sentences. (Also a reminder that the first time you introduce a source you need to give that source credibility so it is clear that the source has expert knowledge.)
Grammar/Mechanics Issues:
· Make sure all of the punctuation is correct. One thing to remember is that the quotation marks go right after the quote, not after the in-text citations parentheses.
· Make sure everything is spelled correctly. One thing to look for: there/their/they’re issues as well as to/too/two. Those are the most common, but there are others, of course.
· Subject/verb agreement. This is pretty-straightforward, and means looking for things like, “There is some more of those in the other room.” And, “My brother receive the prize for the best haircut.”
· Sentence fragments/run-on sentences. Make sure that all your sentences. Have a complete thought! Also, make sure they do not have too many thoughts in them because that means that it is a run-on sentence and that means that it can be too confusing for your readers if you include too much in one sentence, so you will want to be sure to break it up. (
Formatting/Documentation Issues
· Make sure the paper is written in 12 point Times New Roman font with 1 inch margins on all sides. .

Common sports-relatedshoulder injuriesShoulder pain is.docx
Common sports-related
shoulder injuries
S
houlder pain is commonly treated in general practice; its causes are often
multi-factorial. The focus of this article is on sports-related shoulder injuries
likely to be seen in the community. This article aims to overview the presen-
tation, assessment and management of these conditions in general practice.
The GP curriculum and common sports-related shoulder injuries
Clinical module 3.20: Care of people with musculoskeletal problems lists the learning objectives required
for a GP to manage common sports-related shoulder injuries in the community or refer for specialist management. In
particular, GPs are expected to be able to:
. Communicate health information effectively to promote better outcomes
. Explore the perceptions, ideas or beliefs the patient has about the condition and whether these may be acting as
barriers to recovery
. Use simple techniques and consistent advice to promote activity in the presence of pain and stiffness
. Agree treatment goals and facilitate supported self-management, particularly around pain, function and physical
activity
. Assess the importance and meaning of the following presenting features:
. pain: nature, location, severity, history of trauma
. variation of symptoms over time
. loss of function – weakness, restricted movement, deformity and disability, ability to perform usual work or
occupation
. Understand that reducing pain and disability rather than achieving a complete cure could be the goal of
treatment
. Understand indications and limitations of plain radiography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance scans
. Diagnose common, regional soft-tissue problems that can be managed in primary care
. Understand the challenge that many musculoskeletal conditions might be better and more confidently managed
by other healthcare personnel rather than GPs, because most GPs do not gain the necessary treatment skills
during their training
. Refer those conditions which may benefit from early referral to an orthopaedic surgeon
The four most common categories of shoulder pain
seen in primary care are (Mitchell, Adebajo, Hay, &
Carr, 2005):
. Rotator cuff disorders (85% tendinopathy)
. Glenohumeral disorders
. Acromioclavicular joint disease, and
. Referred neck pain.
There are many different types of sports that can cause
acute or chronic shoulder injuries. In professional English
Rugby Union, for example, the most common match
injury is of the acromioclavicular joint (32% overall) and
the most severe injury requiring the longest time off
(mean of 81 days) is shoulder dislocation (Headey,
Brooks, & Kemp, 2007).
Shoulder injuries can also occur in non-contact sports,
such as golf, tennis, swimming and weightlifting.
Although shoulder injuries may be more common in con-
tact sports, the injury may have a larger impact on the
performance of individuals playing non-contact sports.
For example, golfers require very precise manoeuvres
of their dominant.

Common Law Strict Liability Introduction Strict liabilit.docx
Common Law Strict Liability
Introduction: Strict liability, or liability without fault, is a category of unintentional torts
in which the wrongdoer may be held liable for harm to others even when exercising
utmost care and being as careful as possible. Strict liability applies to (1) abnormally
dangerous activities. Abnormally dangerous activities are those that involve a high risk
of serious harm to persons or property that cannot be completely eliminated even with
reasonable care, such as using and storing explosives, stunt flying, keeping wild
animals, and trespassing livestock.
Product Liability**
Introduction: Product liability, sometimes called strict product liability refers to cases in
which a person is injured by a product, or use of a product because the product is
defective in some way. When a product is defective it may become abnormally
dangerous although the product, when not defective, may be safe.
Please also see Instructor Notes link in week 2 for further details and explanation of
product liability.
**Strict product liability is often confused with the separate common law tort of strict
liability, sometimes referred to as “liability without fault”. Strict liability applies only to a
small category of abnormally dangerous activities, such as use of explosives, fireworks,
and stunt flying. Please see section above.
Warranties and Product Liability
Introduction: A warranty is a promise, or guarantee, by a seller or lessor that certain
facts are true of the goods being sold or leased. Types of warranties include (1)
warranties of title guaranteeing that the goods have clear and valid title, (2) express
warranties promising specific facts about the goods, and (3) implied warranties of
merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. A warranty creates a legal duty for
the seller or lessor; a non-breaching party can recover damages for breach of
warranty(ies). Because warranties are associated with the sale or lease of products,
breach of warranty claims are a part of product liability claims and manufacturers and
sellers of goods can be held liable for breach of warranty for defective products.
Warranties are subject to regulation under the UCC, product liability tort law, contract
law, and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
Product Liability**
Product liability, sometimes called strict product liability refers to cases in which a
person is injured by a product, or use of a product because the product is
defective in some way. When a product is defective it may become abnormally
dangerous although the product, when not defective, may be safe.
Definitions of a Defective Product in Product Liability
Products may become defective because of:
1) defective manufacture (so the product is "broken", not perfectly made, i.e., a product
is manufactured so that the electric wiring is improperly made/attached, etc. and may
cause a fire or cause elect.

Introduction Comment by Author: this needs to be centered and not in bold; it needs to be the title of your paper Comment by Author:
Common core is a standardized education tool that is being used in almost 43 states of America. It is like an outline that has various benchmarks which need to be completed at the end of each grade so that students can successfully learn. It is like having a check and balance on what the students should learn. The primary aim is to prepare learners of America for college and make sure that they are acquiring various skills. Although some people believe that Common Core has been a great model and useful for education, it is an unnecessary program to have in schools and needs to be eliminated for several reasons. Comment by Author: plural needed
However, this practice is disadvantageous for students as well as teachers because no other material knows better than the teachers about the needs, wants, and goals of the students. Teachers can easily teach their students after analyzing their needs and previous knowledge. Moreover, this tool is unconstitutional as it has been created by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State Officers with help from the Bill and Melissa Gates Foundation not the Department of Education.

Common core unconstitutional Comment by Author: needs to be centered; titles should not be complete sentences—think of newspaper titles…they’re fragments
The step to create a tool of education has not been taken by the Department of Education. Instead, it has been established by the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers with no input from the Department of Education. It means that they have taken the responsibility of making crucial decisions regarding policies of education and the standardized testing system from the authorities of states (Robins, 2013).

exemplars of reading text complexity, Quality, and range
& sample Performance tasks related to core standards
Selecting Text Exemplars
The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require
all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that stu-
dents should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in
helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do
not represent a partial or complete reading list.
The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria:
• Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on quali-
tative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in
matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group
began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience
working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to
recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The
work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated
that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band. For those types of texts—par-
ticularly poetry and multimedia sources—for which these measures are not as well suited, professional judg-
ment necessarily played a greater role in selection.
• Quality. While it is possible to have high-complexity texts of low inherent quality, the work group solicited only
texts of recognized value. From the pool of submissions gathered from outside contributors, the work group
selected classic or historically significant texts as well as contemporary works of comparable literary merit,
cultural significance, and rich content.
• Range. After identifying texts of appropriate complexity and quality, the work group applied other criteria to
ensure that the samples presented in each band represented as broad a range of sufficiently complex, high-
quality texts as possible. Among the factors considered were initial publication date, authorship, and subject
matter.
Copyright and Permissions
For those exemplar texts not in the public domain, we secured permissions and in some cases employed a conser-
vative interp.

Common Core
I) Introduction
A. Common Core is an educational tool that should not be used in our public schools.
B. Common Core is unconstitutional and is a disadvantage for teachers as well as students and their parents.
C. Although some people believe that Common Core has been a great model and useful for education, it is an unnecessary program to have in schools and needs to be eliminated for several reasons.
II) Body
A. Common core is unconstitutional.
· Common Core was not a concept done by the Department of Education (DOE).
· It was created by a company named Achieve, Inc. and released under two private associations, the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).
· Educational responsibility has been taken away from the states and local districts.
B. Common Core has not been embraced by teachers very well.
· Many teachers have had to adapt their style of teaching to accommodate the Common Core curriculum.
· It only focuses on three specific subjects such as Mathematics.
· Focuses more on “critical thinking” rather than knowledge.
C. It is not beneficial for students and their parents.
· Parents have a difficult time helping their children with homework because they do not understand the methods used to solve the problems.
· Prepares students more for the workforce, rather than college.
III) Refuting Opponents Arguments Comment by Author: You list opposing arguments, but you did not provide refutations.
D. States win more money
· States that implement Common Core have the chance to compete for Race to the Top money and a better chance at a No Child Left Behind Waiver.
E. Prepares students more efficiently
· Students who are taught Common Core are more prepared for college than others.
F. Statewide standards benefit students from other states
· Statewide based school standards allow teachers to assist better students who move frequently and are constantly changing schools.
IV) Conclusion
G. While for some Common Core is a success, it is still a nuisance that needs to be eliminated. It takes rights away from teachers, parents and schools.
H. A Disaster For Libraries, a disaster for Language Arts, a Disaster for American Education. Comment by Author: Not sure how this will play out, but just be sure that this does not present itself as new information. Comment by Author: Comment by Author:
I. Finally, there is no evidence that having national standards and increasing testing have improved student learning in the past.

Key Features of Common Pool Resources
Goods that are difficult or costly to exclude users from
Subtractability-use of a resource by one person means it is not available to another
Core resource-a measure of the stock which must be retained to provide non-declining future stock
Fringe units-extractable units where availability is a function of the relative productivity of the core resource and rate of harvest
Marine Fisheries CPR Example
Used by multiple individuals through time and at the same time.
Subtractable—over-fishing reduces availability of stock for other users.
Core—total number of fish in a specific population required to sustain the population through time.
Fringe—number of fish that can be harvested without reducing the ability of the population to sustain itself through time.
Water
Subtractability-use of a resource by one person means it is not available to another
Core?
Fringe?
We must consider both quantity and quality of water in a system
Why is water quantity/quality important?
The Tragedy of the Commons

Narrative created by Garrett Harden, a renowned ecologist, in a 1968 Nature paper
Is this model too simplistic? Which assumptions can be questioned?
Elinor Ostrom: Sustainable Development
and the Tragedy of the Commons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByXM47Ri1Kc
Elinor "Lin" Ostrom (born Elinor Claire Awan;[2] August 7, 1933 – June 12, 2012) was an American political economist[3][4][5] whose work was associated with the New Institutional Economics and the resurgence of political economy.[6] In 2009, she shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with Oliver E. Williamson for "her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons".[7] To date, she remains the only woman to win The Prize in Economics.

Elinor Ostrom’s Cooperative Management Conditions
Dr. Ostrom studied thousands of locally self-governed CPR systems all around the world
to determine what the sustainable systems had in common, and what the failures had in common.
Ostrom developed a set of design principles associated with sustainable local community governance of small-scale CPRs.
Ostrom’s Cooperative Management Conditions (1/2)
Clearly defined boundaries
Who gets access, who doesn’t
Resource boundaries
Congruence
Costs ≈ Benefits of cooperating
Appropriation rules are fair and sensible, locale-specific
Argues against “one rule system fits all” approach.
Collective-choice arrangements
Most individuals affected have a voice in changing the rules
Monitoring
Monitors are the cooperative members
Ostrom’s Cooperative Management Conditions (2/2)
Graduated sanctions
Punishment scaled to the offence
Sanctions administered by the cooperative
Conflict-resolution mechanisms
Access to low-cost, rapid, local way to resolve conflicts
Recognition of Rights to Organize
Community’s right t.

Common Assignment Essay Objective of this Assignment.docx
Common Assignment Essay
Objective of this Assignment: This assignment will be used to evaluate student progress on the
course learning objectives. The assignment will be uploaded as a file on Blackboard.
Instructions: Students will follow the process outlined below to guide them in the development of a
comparative essay. The essay should be approximately 700-1000 words, and should include
footnotes.
➢ Step One: Essay Purpose / Relevance / The Task of a Historian
o Purpose: Students should consider why the topic of memorializing the Mexican
American War is a contemporary problem facing historians.
o Task of a Historian: Your work should clearly communicate the purpose of public history
sites (museums / battlegrounds / memorials), the current struggle between art and truth,
the reasons why this event has been ignored by previous generations / administrations,
and the societal impact of neglecting a major historic event.
o Relevance: Your work should consider the current facilities and public history sites
dedicated to honoring this event and its participants, as well as the funding and
supporters associated with those sites. (At a minimum you should examine the facilities
in Texas, however, there are links provided to steer you to other state /federal facilities).
Furthermore, you should consider the message provided at those sites / exhibits and
whether this message is satisfactory given the mission of public historians.
o You may copy and paste sections of your source analysis from the previous essay, just
pay attention to flow and be sure to utilize footnotes.
➢ Step Two: You must use these two sources. Read these first so you can understand the war,
and how it has or has not been remembered.
o REQUIRED SOURCE--"1848/1898: Memorial Day, Places of Memory, and Imperial
Amnesia" by Amy Greenberg in JSTOR
o REQUIRED SOURCE--"The Annexation of Texas and the Mexican War" by Z.T.
Fulmore in JSTOR
➢ Step Three: Study the information on current Mexican American War exhibits, battlegrounds,
monuments, dedications, etc. I have organized the suggested resources, emphasizing Texas
sites in the highly suggested category.
o Highly Suggested Sources:
▪ Palo Alto Battlegrounds: https://www.nps.gov/paal/learn/historyculture/places.htm
▪ Brazos Veteran’s Park: http://www.bvvm.org/photos/
▪ Mexican American War Exhibit for BVVM: https://www.theeagle.com/news/local/new-

Commitment to Professionalism
Commitment to Professionalism.
Due by Day 7
. As leaders in early childhood education we are in the unique position of creating partnerships with the community, organizations, and local government in an effort to promote the needs of the children we are serving. Through a program’s daily operation, we are witnesses to the specific issues that are facing the children, families, and community in which we work. When we highlight and broadcast these issues and advocate for a community’s needs, we are also advocating for increased awareness of the value and professionalism of the field of early childhood education. When we participate in advocating in our field we are further demonstrating that we are professionals that deserve to be valued and respected.
After reading the week’s text, write a reflection in two parts:
Part I
Identify the focus of your advocacy efforts and give an example of an issue you would like to address as an advocate.
Identify one individual or group (local policy maker, state-level legislator, corporate leader, etc.) that you can contact for support of your issue and provide a rationale for choosing this individual/group.
Describe the strategies you would use to gain the support needed for this issue through individual advocacy.
Describe the strategies you would use to attract the support needed for this issue through collective advocacy.
Create two talking points (as discussed in Chapter 13) using one
concrete example
(refer to key term in chapter reading for precise definition) for each point to demonstrate the importance of the issue.
These talking points should be appropriate to use when talking to legislators or the media about the issue for which you are advocating.
Part II
Create a Commitment to the Profession Statement. Remember, this is a draft that will continually be revised and modified as new information is acquired. Address the following:
Describe how you will advocate on behalf of young children, their families, and the profession.
Describe how you will support the development of future practitioners and leaders in the field.
Refer to Figure 13.1 “A Professional Continuum” and describe how your efforts will support the field away from
unskilled workers
and toward
paradigm professionals
.
The Commitment to Professionalism paper
Must be at least two double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the
Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)
.
Must include a separate title page with the following:
Title of paper
Student’s name
Course name and number
Instructor’s name
Date submitted
Use the text and two outside sources to support your responses.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

COMM 1001 Week 4 Assignment Worksheet(Part 1 of your Week 5 Perce.docx
- 1. COMM 1001: Week 4 Assignment Worksheet (Part 1 of your Week 5 Perception Paper) Directions: Please save the document to your own computer using the naming convention "COMMWK4Assgn+last name+first initial" as the Submission Title. The file name identifies you and indicates to your instructor that your worksheet is available to grade. Please fill in the answers in the boxes provided by TYPING in your answers. If you need more space than is provided, the box will expand as you write. So, no need to worry about space. Do not write your answers in a separate document because your instructor uses the rubric after each question to grade that section of this worksheet. You may use the rubric as a guide to make sure you completed that question correctly. Then, please submit this worksheet to the regular Week 4 Assignment submission link in the classroom. Section 1. Introduction Using the directions in the blue part of each box, write an introduction for your week 5 full paper in the boxes below. Be sure to follow the directions in each box. First write a sentence (or more if needed) to gradually introduce your reader to the topic of perception. Try to be creative and original. For instance, you could tell a brief story about how perception played a role in a situation from your own life.
- 2. The second part of a proper introduction is a thesis or purpose statement. In this worksheet, we will give you the thesis. In your paper next week, you may choose to use this thesis or write your own. A possible thesis for this paper would be: This paper will help me to understand how perception works through doing an analysis of what three observers declared were their perceptions of a photograph. Finally, write a sentence or two that previews what your three main points for this paper will be. You have already been given the three main points. They are: 1) Explanation of the steps of the perception process. 2) Description of your observers and how their background might affect their perception of the world. 3) Analysis of the observers’ descriptions of the photo. Here is an example of a good preview of these three main points: In this paper, first I will explain the three step process of perception; second, I will provide a description of my three observers complete with an explanation as to how their backgrounds might affect their perceptions of the world. Finally, I will delve deeper into what these observers had to say about the photograph I showed them by analyzing their perceptions. In space below, write a preview of main points in your own words.

Section 2. Outline There are a number of ways to outline a paper, and the Walden Writing Center has a page dedicated to this if you want to learn more:
- 4. http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/318.htm . Below you will be taken through a step by step process to “fill in” sections of an outline in the boxes below. Of course most outlines won’t look like this (no boxes and no instructions on exactly what should go where), but hopefully this will give you an idea of how an outline should look so that you can use the idea of outlining in your future papers. Please be sure to write in complete sentences in the designated boxes below. Outlines will normally use Roman Numerals (I, II, III and so forth). After the numbers, letters are used (A, B, C and so forth). Basic rules say that if you have a “I”, then you need to have a “II,” and if you have an “A,” then you must have a “B.” We will follow this format: I. Introduction II. Body III. Conclusion So, you already have the first section, the introduction, of this outline done. Below you will “fill-in” some parts about the “body” of the outline. The “body” refers to the majority of the paper. Be sure to follow the directions within each box. II. Body A. Main Point#1: Explanation of the steps of the perception process. As described in Figure 3-1 in your textbook, explain the 3 steps

In the spaces below, please give an abbreviated version of what you might write in the full paper for this section. For instance, you can just list the steps and give a one sentence description of your own example of each step. Remember, the boxes will expand as you write, so you do not need to worry about using only the space provided. Step #1 : Step #2 : Step #3 : For instructor use only.

In the spaces below, please list your observers and describe the following: Their relationship to you (for example: mom, dad, friend, co- worker, etc.), their sex, their age, their occupation or work situation, a brief description of their overall attitude in life, and any other things you think are important to know about the person. Then, please give a 1-2 sentence description for each person on how you think the background information you listed would make them perceive the world in a certain way. In the full paper, you can provide more detail. Observer #1 : Observer #2 : Observer #3 :

Main Point #3: Analysis of the observers’ descriptions of the photo. At the end of this worksheet is a grid called the “Perception Analysis Grid.” You can use this to help you organize your observers’ descriptive words and use it to complete this section. It is there just as a tool to help you, you are not required to use it. Select one term from each category (Selecting, Organizing and Interpreting—3 terms total) listed below that you plan to talk about in your analysis about your observers’ descriptions of the photo. 1. Please list the term you chose in each category. 2.
- 8. Provide the word or phrase from at least one observer that fits with that term. Be sure to choose a different word from a different observer in each category. 3. Then provide a full sentence explanation of how you plan to apply the term to the word or phrase from your observer. In other words, provide a specific example. For example (you may NOT use this example): Salience, “big veins” My observer #1 used the phrase “big veins” to describe the man in the photo. Observer #1 works in the field of nursing and is required to insert IV’s regularly. Thus, I chose to use the term “salience” to describe why she used the phrase “big veins” because her regular work with veins means the man’s big veins were “salient” to her. In the full paper, then, you will also include the definition of the term AND give credit to the textbook for that definition. Selecting : Choose from these terms: • salience • vividness • social learning • Organizing : Choose from these terms: • stereotype • prototype • scripts • personal construct • perception shifts • Interpreting : Choose from these terms: • assigning attributions • biases in attributions • closure • context •

III. Conclusion First write a sentence (or more if needed) to “ease” your reader out of the overall idea of this paper on your experiment with the photograph. In other words, let your reader know you are “closing” the paper.
- 10. A review of the thesis for the paper would go here. In your paper next week, you may choose to use this thesis or write your own. A possible thesis for this paper would be: Through writing this paper, I have come to a better understanding of how each one of us will have different perceptions of just about anything. It really all depends on things such as our background and even our present state of mind. Second, write one sentence for each main point that summarizes the most important idea of that main point. This is not the place to introduce new information. In the full paper next week, you will want to end with something memorable. Just like the opening, you want to try to be creative and original. So, be thinking about what you will put in the final paper next week to give it a good ending. For instructor use only. Section 1 Comments 5 Points Total

See below the Perception Analysis Grid for your total points earned. Section 3. Perception Analysis Grid This grid is not required for you to do. But you may find it helpful to fill out as you collect your observers’ descriptive words. It will help you keep the analysis organized as you fill out main point 3 above and for when you write the full paper next week. DIRECTIONS: Place the descriptive terms you received from your observers in the first column. Then check off the columns (based on the different types of perception) that you think influenced your observer to notice that aspect of the picture. Be sure to watch the Perception Analysis Worksheet Demonstration in the Week 4 Learning Resources to help you understand how to fill out the worksheet. The basics are that each “descriptive
- 12. word” should have one item checked off in each category (selecting, organizing and interpreting). While more than one of the terms in each category might fit the descriptive word from your observers, choose the one term in each category that BEST fits. So, you should end up with three terms checked off for each “descriptive word” from your observers.
