The document discusses ethics in research and the importance of receiving IRB approval before beginning any research. It notes that receiving IRB approval is just the beginning of ethical considerations, which must be maintained throughout the entire research process, from planning to publication. It prompts the reader to consider what ethical challenges may arise in their topic area and how guidelines in Walden's IRB documents could impact their choice of research population, setting, or design. Finally, it provides reading assignments on research design, ethics, and the IRB approval process.

Self-Assessment Portfolio
This assignment asks you to reflect upon your own interpersonal communication skills and evaluate your effectiveness as a communicator in interpersonal situations. There are a variety of self-assessments to choose from and the documents containing these assessments are in a folder on the course CelticOnline page. Choose 10 assessments to complete and make sure to complete the assessment first before reading more about what the assessment attempts to measure. Try to choose a variety of assessments to obtain a well-rounded understanding of your interpersonal communication skills.
After completing the assessments, for each assessment you will need to complete a 2-page assignment in which you need to address the following concerns:
· Description —describe the exercise/assignment using the concepts discussed in class and in the textbook.
· Purpose —identify the purpose of the exercise by relating the exercise to the principles or theories discussed in class, in the textbook, in additional readings, and/or additional information provided about the assessment.
· Analysis —analyze the process of the exercise, i.e., what you learned and how you came to realize key concepts related to the purpose; analyze your strengths and limitations related to this competency.
· Self-Assessment —conclude your report by stating how principles learned can be applied to your personal communication skills and/or your success in interpersonal relationships; what have you learned to help you develop this competency?
I suggest you complete assessments as we cover the corresponding material in class. Additional documents contain original research that cover the purposes and definitions of each assessment.
BE SURE TO GIVE PROPER CITATIONS FOR WORK/IDEAS/CONCEPTS THAT ARE NOT YOUR OWN. Each assignment should have a reference sheet where you site your sources that contributed to your understanding of that assessment.
Your Self-Assessment Portfolio is due at the end of week 8. Please compile all the materials into one document. Each assessment should be included with your responses noted, followed by its reflection assignment and then the reference sheet. This order will occur 10 times for all 10 self-assessments. You will be penalized for lack of organization in this manner. This portfolio is worth 100 points.

In a 1-2 page Microsoft Word document, discuss the following case study:
When Alexander and Deborah married, Alexander owned a duplex in a community property state. They lived in one side of the duplex. They saved their money and bought a lake lot as tenants by the entirety. Deborah failed to pay the loans she took out from Savings Bank prior to her marriage to pay for college. The bank claimed the duplex, the lake lot and their savings.
Discuss the likelihood of success on the bank's claims against the properties.

It’s easy to dismiss the works from the Dada movement as silly. Cons.docxlmelaine
It’s easy to dismiss the works from the Dada movement as silly. Consider the art that was popular at the time, however. These “silly” works were a violent protest to the realism and impressionism of the day. Check out “Entr' acte", 1924, directed by Rene Clair” on YouTube, if you can, for an excellent example of Dada.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMaXF-4MMGA
The pointlessness of the action is the point! I still crack up at the end even seen it hundreds of times.
Think: what does Dada do that realism cannot? What’s the value of a movement that breaks all the rules? What did Dada contribute to the progress of art and film?
Remember, post before WEDNESDAY and three times during the week because you must contribute three postings over the week for full credit. Please write more than 50 words for your first response to my question.

What Dada can do that realism cannot is make humorous, chaotic assemblage of events. The value of a movement that breaks all the rules is a non-traditional valued movement. The Dada anti-art movement had a strong negative and destructive element. Dada writers and artists were concerned with shock, protest, and nonsense. Dada contributed to assemblage, collage, photomontage and the use of ready-made objects. The inclusion of sound in art, the incorporation of found objects in a work of art, and the concept of improvising as a performance options were all substantially important to not only the development of music, but more specifically the development of electronic music.

The art of film is very dynamic. Dada was a great way to show how it was used. I know watching the film showed so many scenes and object so, it made it very helpful to understand the meaning of Dada.
Posted by Anya Walker at 06/18/13 05:59
Dada is hilarious to watch. The artist is able to show realism by having creative scenes that was part of the anti-war movement era. The objective of using a technique called collage was used by combining different type of scraps that was part of illustration to be viewed in different scenes. Dada contributes to the art of film by having music being played while watching the film. Also, surrealism was introduced to show a type of chaotic way of using humorous scenes in film.

Very well written. For some reason I read and read the article on Dada in the book and couldn't quite get it. So I read a few articles from the Internet to fully understand what the Dada movement was. Even with breaking all the rules they were able to contribute to the art.

Its meaning is still debated. It could be a symbol of the city of Florence (and by association of the Medici's identification with the city of Florence) or it could be a metaphor for the nature of love. Choose one of these meanings and elaborate on that meaning. Be sure to talk about the story of David, how he is portrayed in the statue, its location, etc.

It is not an online course so i cannot share any login details. No detailed instructions were given to complete this assignment. The professor indicated that he wants a 3-4 page paper with a topic of my choosing. It needs to be about civilization as a whole though. The two topics i showed to the professor that he agreed were good for the paper were the following:
Discuss the death sentence and how it has been changed over the years morally.
Discuss the use of physical torture and how it has changed over the years morally.
These papers are discussing time periods ranging from the spanish inquisition, all the way up to present day. How were these used in the past and how did our civilization change to accept it the way it is today?

Case Study: Wobbly Wheels (WW) Distribution Company
Overview
WW is a regional transportation and distribution company in operation for over 60 years. The company serves major cities in the Mid-Atlantic region. They are headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware and have a staff of 400 employees including truck drivers. There are 6 distribution terminals (Philadelphia PA, Baltimore MD, New York City, Washington DC, Newark NJ and Wilmington DE) for consolidating freight, and 100 delivery vehicles including 20 tractor/semi-trailer units, 40 box trucks and 40 panel vans.
The company operates in a highly competitive business environment. Growth has been stagnant because of a slow economy. John, the president of the company, would like to see growth at 5% per year. He would also like to see expenses cut by 5% to help fund new initiatives. Current revenue is about $39 million a year with profit running at 4%.
Current Business Operations
WW operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sales personnel (12 people, two per terminal) visit prospective customers to outline company capability, services provided and costs. When a customer decides to use WW they call the dispatch office with shipment information. Usually they FAX a copy of the bill (s) of lading to a terminal with information such as origin, destination, product description, weight and number of packages.
A dispatcher at a terminal makes a list of freight pickups and sends a truck to get the freight. To do this they use the routing system to determine the sequence of pickups by zip code. They use local maps within a zip code to map out the specific order of pickups since there may be several in a zip code area. They have a performance goal of 98% of freight picked up within 24 hours of availability.
A driver follows the dispatch order for pickups. Many of the drivers complain that the pickup order is not efficient. When they pick up an order they sign for receipt and either load the freight or guide the customer’s forklift operators to arrange it properly in the truck.
After freight is picked up it is brought to the terminal where it is unloaded and sorted by destination. A dispatcher then prepares a delivery ticket (again using the routing system) that is used to load a truck in the proper sequence for delivery. Some trucks take freight from one terminal to another while others make local deliveries. About half of a terminal’s space is used on any given night. Dispatchers have a goal to turn freight around.

In a 1-2 page Microsoft Word document, discuss the following case study:
When Alexander and Deborah married, Alexander owned a duplex in a community property state. They lived in one side of the duplex. They saved their money and bought a lake lot as tenants by the entirety. Deborah failed to pay the loans she took out from Savings Bank prior to her marriage to pay for college. The bank claimed the duplex, the lake lot and their savings.
Discuss the likelihood of success on the bank's claims against the properties.

It’s easy to dismiss the works from the Dada movement as silly. Cons.docxlmelaine
It’s easy to dismiss the works from the Dada movement as silly. Consider the art that was popular at the time, however. These “silly” works were a violent protest to the realism and impressionism of the day. Check out “Entr' acte", 1924, directed by Rene Clair” on YouTube, if you can, for an excellent example of Dada.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMaXF-4MMGA
The pointlessness of the action is the point! I still crack up at the end even seen it hundreds of times.
Think: what does Dada do that realism cannot? What’s the value of a movement that breaks all the rules? What did Dada contribute to the progress of art and film?
Remember, post before WEDNESDAY and three times during the week because you must contribute three postings over the week for full credit. Please write more than 50 words for your first response to my question.

What Dada can do that realism cannot is make humorous, chaotic assemblage of events. The value of a movement that breaks all the rules is a non-traditional valued movement. The Dada anti-art movement had a strong negative and destructive element. Dada writers and artists were concerned with shock, protest, and nonsense. Dada contributed to assemblage, collage, photomontage and the use of ready-made objects. The inclusion of sound in art, the incorporation of found objects in a work of art, and the concept of improvising as a performance options were all substantially important to not only the development of music, but more specifically the development of electronic music.

The art of film is very dynamic. Dada was a great way to show how it was used. I know watching the film showed so many scenes and object so, it made it very helpful to understand the meaning of Dada.
Posted by Anya Walker at 06/18/13 05:59
Dada is hilarious to watch. The artist is able to show realism by having creative scenes that was part of the anti-war movement era. The objective of using a technique called collage was used by combining different type of scraps that was part of illustration to be viewed in different scenes. Dada contributes to the art of film by having music being played while watching the film. Also, surrealism was introduced to show a type of chaotic way of using humorous scenes in film.

Very well written. For some reason I read and read the article on Dada in the book and couldn't quite get it. So I read a few articles from the Internet to fully understand what the Dada movement was. Even with breaking all the rules they were able to contribute to the art.

Its meaning is still debated. It could be a symbol of the city of Florence (and by association of the Medici's identification with the city of Florence) or it could be a metaphor for the nature of love. Choose one of these meanings and elaborate on that meaning. Be sure to talk about the story of David, how he is portrayed in the statue, its location, etc.

Case Study: Wobbly Wheels (WW) Distribution Company
Overview
WW is a regional transportation and distribution company in operation for over 60 years. The company serves major cities in the Mid-Atlantic region. They are headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware and have a staff of 400 employees including truck drivers. There are 6 distribution terminals (Philadelphia PA, Baltimore MD, New York City, Washington DC, Newark NJ and Wilmington DE) for consolidating freight, and 100 delivery vehicles including 20 tractor/semi-trailer units, 40 box trucks and 40 panel vans.
The company operates in a highly competitive business environment. Growth has been stagnant because of a slow economy. John, the president of the company, would like to see growth at 5% per year. He would also like to see expenses cut by 5% to help fund new initiatives. Current revenue is about $39 million a year with profit running at 4%.
Current Business Operations
WW operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sales personnel (12 people, two per terminal) visit prospective customers to outline company capability, services provided and costs. When a customer decides to use WW they call the dispatch office with shipment information. Usually they FAX a copy of the bill (s) of lading to a terminal with information such as origin, destination, product description, weight and number of packages.
A dispatcher at a terminal makes a list of freight pickups and sends a truck to get the freight. To do this they use the routing system to determine the sequence of pickups by zip code. They use local maps within a zip code to map out the specific order of pickups since there may be several in a zip code area. They have a performance goal of 98% of freight picked up within 24 hours of availability.
A driver follows the dispatch order for pickups. Many of the drivers complain that the pickup order is not efficient. When they pick up an order they sign for receipt and either load the freight or guide the customer’s forklift operators to arrange it properly in the truck.
After freight is picked up it is brought to the terminal where it is unloaded and sorted by destination. A dispatcher then prepares a delivery ticket (again using the routing system) that is used to load a truck in the proper sequence for delivery. Some trucks take freight from one terminal to another while others make local deliveries. About half of a terminal’s space is used on any given night. Dispatchers have a goal to turn freight around.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Good time management is essential to career and academic
success. Assignments should be submitted
by their due date. Late assignments are subject to a 30%
reduction for each day late. After two days
late, the assignment will not be accepted.
Academic Honor Code
Belhaven University subscribes to a third-party plagiarism
detection service. Any assignment the
instructor chooses to have checked for plagiarism will
automatically be submitted to Turnitin once you
have completed it.
Communication
Communicate questions directly to the professor, except in
11. cases where you need to contact technical
support. Your Belhaven University email address will be
utilized for the class, so be sure to check it
frequently.
Originality
Unit writing and portfolio papers will be evaluated for
originality using Turnitin. Belhaven University
encourages a high degree of originality in writing. Quoted
material should seldom be used and must be
limited to phrases that cannot be paraphrased or summarized
without losing their effectiveness. Students
are required to cite and reference all sources of information and
images using APA style. Non-
originality exceeding 20% on papers will be subject to a grade
reduction at the professor’s discretion and
students may be referred to a writing lab for assistance with
originality.
Standards on Plagiarism
Introduction
In a day in which moral relativism has become epidemic, it
seems necessary to address the issue of
plagiarism. Plagiarism is a practice that has become
increasingly easy due to modern technology.
12. Plagiarism is not only widespread on college campuses but has
also been engaged in by leading
historians. Belhaven University, with its emphasis on applying a
biblical worldview to all of life and
biblical ethics in the marketplace, must raise a high standard of
honesty and responsibility with regard to
research and writing.
The Bible teaches that God honors honesty and fair dealing.
God will bless the person who “walks
blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth” from the
heart (English Standard Version, Ps. 15:2;
see also Prov. 20:7). Only responsible, honest research fulfills
this high ethical standard.
Responsible Research
Responsible research is a critical component of a liberal arts
education. Students must learn how to
investigate, read, understand, systematize, interpret, and finally
explain complex ideas and issues in
writing. There is no shortcut to good research and writing.
Students gain immensely from personal
experience with the research process, the broader and deeper
knowledge of areas of academic study, and
the discipline of summarizing their findings in a clear and
13. orderly form.
7
Responsible research includes giving credit to all materials on
which students rely in the research
process. Students must realize that they are not experts; they
rely on experts and must therefore fully
credit these expert sources. Students must acknowledge all
sources of ideas, words, phrases, or sentences
included in the research paper.
One of the best ways to avoid plagiarism is to read thoroughly
to gain an understanding of source
materials, and then, without looking at the source, give one’s
own summary or evaluation.
Good research and writing is hard work. The Bible teaches that
God blesses diligent, righteous labor
(Proverbs 12:24, 27). The Bible stresses that work should be
performed in such a manner as will please
God who always sees not only what pleases people when they
14. are watching (Colossians 3:22-24).
Plagiarism Defined
Plagiarism involves the presentation of some other person’s
work or idea as if it were the work of the
presenter. It is a violation of the Belhaven Honor Code and is
clearly unacceptable.
Plagiarism includes submitting a paper written by someone
other than the student. (Such plagiarism
would also include parts of the paper written by someone other
than the student.)
Plagiarism includes quoting from source materials without using
quotation marks or block indentations
to show that the material was quoted as required in acceptable
documentation.
Plagiarism includes failing to give proper credit (i.e., a
reference citation or other notation) in a paper for
all ideas, phrases, quotes, or concepts used in the paper.
Typically, references must be made for all
sources within each paragraph. Style forms may vary in the
reference content. Students should consult
an English handbook for more detail on plagiarism.
15. Consequences of Plagiarism
Disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against students
accused of scholastic dishonesty. A student
who is found guilty of plagiarism may receive a “0” on the
paper, and penalties that are more serious
may be imposed, including no credit for the course and
dismissal from the University.
The Bible teaches that God knows and will judge unrighteous
acts, even if they are not discovered by
others (see I Timothy 5:24): “Do not be deceived; God is not
mocked, for whatever one sows, that he
will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).
Plagiarism is Wrong
The Ten Commandments declare ethical standards that are
universally true. They apply to all people at
all times. The Second Table of the Ten Commandments declares
standards of human behavior that are
essential to a good society. The commandments include the
following standards:
“You shall not steal” (Exodus 20:15).
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor”
(Exodus 20:16).
16. “You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another
...but you shall love your neighbor as
yourself” (Leviticus 19:11, 18).
Each of these provisions applies to the issue of plagiarism.
Plagiarism, among other things, is theft.
When students present another person’s work as their own, they
have stolen the proper credit from the
other person. They have also stolen the time of the professor,
who must read a document which purports
to be what it is not.
8
Plagiarism involves lying. Students who engage in plagiarism
lie to their professor, as well as to other
classmates.
Plagiarism, even if not discovered, cheats the student out of the
benefit of the proper learning
experience. The student who commits plagiarism will always
bear the sense of guilt of gaining
17. something by deceit. The grade is a lie; the diploma is a lie;
there is a “reward” for work not done!
Specific Practices to Avoid
1. Do not attempt to get a research paper off the Internet (or
anywhere else) and submit this for
your paper. This is dishonest and unethical.
2. Do not merely copy from any book, article, or encyclopedia
and submit this for your paper. This
is not acceptable research.
3. Do not fail to include references (including source and page
numbers) which document every
source upon which you have in any way relied for each
paragraph of your paper. If sources are
not properly referenced, the student has cheated the sources out
of deserved credit and cheated
readers out of valuable information.
4. Do not use material from any other student’s paper or work
unless you give that student full
credit in reference notes.
Note: The above list is not meant to be inclusive of all
plagiaristic practices. Students should consult an
English handbook for more details on plagiarism. Remember: If
in doubt, ask your instructor.

Summary of Assignments
Unit Quizzes
Students will complete unit quizzes on all reading assignments
and lectures. Quizzes are found on the
course page and are available once all unit lectures have been
viewed. Unit quizzes should be completed
by Saturday at 11:59 p.m.
Discussion Questions
Your professor will post discussion questions on the first day of
the week (Sunday). You should respond
to the initial discussion questions no later than 11:59 p.m.
central time each Wednesday. Responses to
classmate’s discussion questions are due no later than Saturday
at 11:59 p.m. each week. Earlier
19. postings are encouraged. An initial discussion question
response is considered to be a 250-300 word
answer to each discussion question. A response to a classmate
should be at least 100 words. Less than
this will automatically result in a significant reduction in one’s
grade. One initial response and one
response to a classmate's posting are required for each question.
You must mention the person’s name whose comment you are
responding to and quote what aspect of
their post you are speaking to. Without a name and what
exactly you are responding to, it is not possible
to see the direction of your comments and the comments will
not receive any points.
Writing Assignments
Papers will be evaluated using the Unit Assignments and
Portfolio Paper rubric (Appendix A). Be
attentive to APA style, grammar and punctuation, adherence to
minimum word requirement (500 words
unless otherwise indicated), integration of required components,
and critical thinking. Papers should
contain a title page, appropriate citations, and references. APA
information in Canvas can be located by
20. clicking on Resources and then Academic Help. The professor
will post Unit Assignments on the first
day of each week (Sunday). Assignments are due no later than
11:59 p.m. (CT) on Saturday (Day 7).
Earlier submissions are accepted.
Portfolio Paper
The portfolio paper covers the array of topics discussed and
presented in the course, and is due Saturday
(Day 7) of Unit 8. The paper will be evaluated using the Unit
Assignments and Portfolio Paper rubric
(Appendix A).
Guidelines for organization:
The topic of the individual portfolio research paper is in the
discretion of the student, subject to the
professor’s approval in Unit Two. Do not begin substantial
work on the research paper until your
professor has approved the topic. Once a topic has been
approved for one student, the same topic will
not be approved for any other student in the same class. A
sample of topics is provided in the Sample
Topics for Portfolio Paper (Appendix B). The list is not
21. exhaustive and other topics related to the
subject matter of the course will be considered.
Prepare the Portfolio Paper using the following guidelines:
– 2,000 words using APA formatting, including title
and reference pages
foundations application (500 – 750 words)

Your professor will post discussion questions on the first day of
the week (Sunday). Post your initial
responses to the discussion forum by Wednesday 11:59 p.m. and
respond to the discussion of others by
Saturday 11:59 p.m. Earlier postings are encouraged. An initial
discussion question response is
considered to be a 250-300 word answer to each discussion
question and at least 100 words to a
classmate’s reply by Saturday 11:59 pm. Less than this will
automatically result in a significant

Example of initial posting
Technology can mean many different things. It can mean the
implements used to make a job
easier or it can mean new ideas that appear to disrupt the way
we operate on a daily basis. No
matter how technology is defined, it is a word that elicits a
reaction in the person that hears it:
fear and trepidation or excitement and curiosity. Those in
whom fear is the reaction feel
threatened by the influx of new technologies. They feel that
they cannot keep pace with the
changes that occur and that they will be replaced by machines
that work faster and more
46. efficiently. Those in whom excitement is the reaction see
technology as a tool to make them
more efficient and they become curious about the impact of the
new technology. This
excitement often creates a desire to learn how to use and
implement the new technology. There
are also social issues related to technology. Issues such as
threat to personal privacy (spyware),
fears of overuse of technology (health issues), fears of misuse
(sexting), social networking (takes
too much time in people’s lives), as well as others that are
named.
These scenarios are true in the field of education as well.
Technology can influence education
for good, but has potential to be negative as well. It is
important to think through not only what
we are saying but the means by which we are doing so because
the means by which we
communicate often carry overtones that were not intended to be
included in the message that is
sent.
Example of Response posting
47. I find it interesting that you focus on the definition of the term
as well as the individual’s
response. Words often carry weight beyond what we initially
intend. I know from my
experience there are words that I have different feelings about
than others. I also tend to be more
open to adopting technology than others. It is important for us
to examine not just the message
but the way it is being perceived in order to be effective
communicators. I was reading in the
newspaper this morning about the importance of communication
and how people tend to
perceive based on their past experience (you can find this
article at www.example.com).
In addition to required discussion question responses, you could
post “substantive comments” and
respond in a thoughtful and constructive way to class members’.
Substantive comments should add to
the class discussion in a way that enhances knowledge.
Responses such as, “I agree,” are not considered
to be substantive.
An example of a “substantive comment” from Teresa is:
48. Professor wrote: Theory Y forms the basis of an interesting
core of research literature about
Type A individuals, support or refute findings about Theory Y
or Type A Individuals as related
to this week’s reading.
Teresa: I was just reading an article in the Journal of
Organizational Behavior about that topic.
According to the authors, there is a new line of thought that
further explains McGregor’s theory
and supports a more comprehensive approach to understanding
the contribution that Type A
individuals make in team dynamics. The authors conducted
primary research using a group of
Belhaven University graduate online students. Here’s the link
