Agile development practice has gained popularity in the last few years. India has so far been riding on CMMI bandwagon, with companies vying with each other to get CMMI certification. Recently, we are seeing more and more projects being executed using agile methodologies. This has also brought with it, some challenges. Not all of them are unique to agile, but they tend to manifest earlier and has higher impact in agile.
While there are different types of challenges, here, we are focusing on the Indian cultural ones. Also, we are looking at the challenges in a joint product development – where work is done both by offshore team (which is typically the outsourced organization) and the onsite team (the client team).
After we elaborate on the challenges, we present how we have tried to solve them in our current client engagement.

CJ 316 – Research Methods in Criminal Justice
Component #3 – Research Design/Conclusion
Due by midnight on Saturday, February 24, 2018
Here you will explain the design for your proposed research. There are 3 elements to this section.
1. Hypothesis- after your literature review and problem statement you should have a clear thesis question
that you are intending to answer. This should be your first sentence under this section backed up by a
few supporting details that illustrates this claim.
a. Example: Community orientated polices has been a major contributor for decreasing crime in
inner cities. This fact has been cited throughout the literature over the years and has been seen as
an effective strategy (Please add more details, this is just an example).
b. Side note: You should have around 5 sentences, one stating your hypothesis/ thesis question, and
the other sentences should involve supporting details about your hypothesis.
2. Operationalization- Please discuss the variables that you will be using in your study. Each study should
contain a dependent and independent variable. In addition if you chose to use a theory to explain your
thesis question then please explain why your chose that theory.
a. Example: crime rate depends on community policing practices. The crime rate is the dependent
variable and community policing is the independent variable.
b. In addition, please include any issues of Validity, Reliability, or Ethics that pertain to your
operationalizing. Each of these elements should be broken off into separate paragraphs.
3. Research design/ Data and Methods- please describe your proposed research design. This should
include:
• The units of analysis
• Sampling frame
• Sampling procedure
• Sample size
• Methods of collection
Example:
With the evolution of the criminal justice system and its continued reliance on technology, the electronic
monitoring system is a safer and more effective way to keep track of criminals and reduce the recidivism of
the probationers. With probation officers under increasing caseloads and having to keep track of more and
more probationers, the people on probation are followed less and have less supervision while on probation.
This gives the probationers the opportunity to break their rules with a less likely chance that the overworked
officer will catch them. The ankle electronic monitoring system helps the officer keep track of more cases
easier and track the probationers more closely.
There are a few variables that are part of the electronic monitoring research. The independent variable of
the research is the electronic monitoring devices and the dependent variable is the reduction of recidivism.
The reduction of recidivism directly relates to the use of the ankle monitoring device. With the ankle
monitor, it convinces the probationer to stick to his clean ways because the probation officer will be notified
of the user’s actio ...

Research methods1. Survey research The city of Warren has o.docxdebishakespeare
Research methods
1. Survey research:
The city of Warren has over 1,000 full-time police officers and 300 support staff employees. In the past year, there has been an excess number of department employees (police and staff) taking sick leave. The city wants a study done to determine why there has been so much sick time taken. Rumors suggest it has something to do with morale and declining support of the chief. Assume research approval has been given. The city is specifically interested on how you address the following:
1. Will this be an inductive or deductive approach? What is the difference and which will you choose and why?
2. What type of comparative or prior research would you look at in preparing your study ( examples)?
3. What type of research design or questionnaire will you use? In other words, how will you design the study and how will you develop, validate, and administer the questionnaire (consider Likert scaling measures)?
4. Due to costs, you can only do a sampling study. How will you get a random sampling of 500 police subjects and 100 staff for study ( explain your method for doing a random sampling of each)?
5. How will you assure the validity and reliability of the study? Explain the difference between the two and explain the importance of each ( suggest an example of each as well).
6. How will you examine or analyze your findings (how will you present the data), and how will you determine if the results are statistical significant or not?
2. Experimental research:
A researcher wants to determine which method is most effective in reducing weight gain in middle age persons. There are three methods used. One method is to exercise at a gym three evenings a week with a trainer. The second method is a daily drug (pill) administered without exercise and the third is a personal exercise routine without a drug or the use of a trainer. Some argue that trainers are the best, others the pill and others the personal routine, which is referred to as the normal or usual practice of weight loss. Assume you have a pool of 600 volunteers of various weights, age ranges and health issues, etc. to choose for the study. Due to cost you can only select 220 total participants. Develop a study using a classical research design to evaluate the three methods. Include the following in your response.
1. Is this a qualitative or quantitative study ( explain the difference)?
2. How will you address randomization of the participants? In other words, while perfect randomization of subjects may be difficult to achieve, how will you select the participants for the three groups to reduce bias ( e,g, consider health issues, etc.).The participants in the study do not have to be equal numbers in groups.
3. Will you use a classical research design, a non-classical, or pre-experimental design ( explain the difference between them)?
4. Identify the control and experimental groups and pre and post test procedures used in your study (time period of ...

Hello Elton,
I appreciate your note. YES. Keep trying. I know that making the transition to doctoral-level reasoning can be hard! It was very hard for me in some areas because it seemed … unnatural. Does that make sense? Some aspects of this type of thinking seemed “clunky” and hard to explain in plain language. I wanted research problems, research purpose statements, etc. to simply flow. In the beginning of my journey there was very little flow (more like trickles) and lots of missteps!
For this assignment, you were asked to build on your assignment last week to further explore how you might examine your research problem using a quantitative methodology. You were required to respond to these questions:
· Please restate the research problem, purpose, and research questions you developed previously and incorporate any faculty feedback as appropriate. This week be sure to also include hypotheses for each of your research questions.
· How might surveys be used to answer your research questions? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using surveys to collect data?
· How might you use an experiment or quasi-experiment to answer your research questions? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using (quasi)experiments to collect your data?
· It is also important to consider how you might analyze the potential data you collect and factors that could affect those analyses. Specifically, what are Type I and Type II errors? How might these impact your study? What is statistical power? How might this impact your study? What steps can you take ahead of time to help avoid issues related to Type I & II errors as well as power?
As part of our standard, you were also required to use scholarly sources to support all assertions and research decisions.
Length: 5 to 7 pages, not including title and reference pages
I used the rubric below to assess your submission. As I moved through each section of your paper, I looked for information that demonstrated you understood important research terms such as hypothesis, null hypothesis, Type I and Type II Errors and statistical power. In most instances you demonstrated some understanding of these concepts or terms. In several instances your understanding hindered your ability to create rigorous hypotheses because there were aspects of these terms that remained unclear. I added several prompts and questions to help you in these areas.

,
I appreciate the online submission of the assignment. I want to remind you of the importance of submitting assignments on-time to avoid late penalties. This is particularly true with the signature assignment that is worth a significant portion of your overall course grade.
In a 6-9-page paper using a minimum of 5 scholarly sources, you are to complete a three- part assignment. In the first, you are to select a method of survey administration and the provide the rationale for that selection for each of 4 different research objectives. In part 2, you are to provide a list of questions that would be used on a questionnaire to meet the objectives. Finally, assuming that you may be using a survey in your research, you are to decide on and explain the method of administration you would use.
You met the assignment requirements with respect to the use of scholarly sources and meeting page expectations. I was surprised to not see the textbook on the reference page given that this should be your primary source for basic information. The text was selected by the faculty due to both content and level. That is why this is required, not optional, reading.
There is an issue with respect to APA formatting that is somewhat surprising given this is the fifth week in the course. First, you are not adhering to the required line spacing. Second, you need to be applying feedback on past assignments. For instance, how the assignment should be spaced is shown below as an example. Finally, while you want to use headings to organize your paper, this can be overdone. In the first part 1 of the assignment, you are asked to decide on the method of survey administration for a number of scenarios. In part 2, you are being asked to provide a list of questions that would meet the objective. Together, these are not mini-papers for each scenario. Therefore, it is not necessary or appropriate to have an introduction and conclusion for each one with is often redundant and repetitive. It is important to remember that scholarly writing is to be both precise and concise. That is, you want to provide the necessary information without excess verbiage and repetition. A brief introduction to the paper overall or even each part might be appropriate but is not necessary. You were advised of this previously.
Overall, in part one, you are not providing a sufficient rationale for the selection of your survey method. As advised in the feedback on the last assignment, this involves examining the specifics of the information needs, who are the target respondents and availability of sampling frames and the criteria to be used in the selection of a method. This is discussed at length in the required reading. As noted in the assignment instructions, “The researcher needs to carefully consider the objectives of the study, the questions that need to be asked and the target respondents in addition to the pros/cons of the alternatives.”

I. Describe the community need in your local community or a community of your choice, and explain why you chose this issue.
The need or issue that we are going to address in this assignment is the foster care system in the United States. We say that the future of a great nation lies in the hands of our children because they are the individuals who will lead our future generations. The welfare of children in a country is therefore very important. There are so many children in the United States that need to be adopted, and there are about 800,000 children every year that go through the foster care system in the country. The main intention of the foster care system in the United States is to ensure that children are provided with a safe and comfortable environment to grow up. However, over the years this system has failed repeatedly in delivering this objective. This is because there are so many children put in foster care who undergo harsh living conditions due to abuse, neglect, and lack of stability as they are switched from one home to another. Statistics show that more than 60,000 children in foster care go through neglect and abuse every year (Mitchell, 2016). For children welfare to be improved, we need to address this issue, and this is the reason why I picked this issue.
II. Assess the primary and secondary sources for their credibility, justifying how the sources are or are not credible. How do you know the sources are credible? How do you know the sources are not credible?
The research on this issue will be based both on primary and secondary sources. The primary sources to be used in this research are foster parents, children, and the institutions that place children into foster homes. The secondary sources to be used will include the National Institute of Health research on the topic and Children Bureau research.
One can know if a source is credible or not depending on whether or .

EVIDENCE BASED POLICING APPROACH 4

Liberty University
Evidence Based Policing Approach
Professor Richards
28 Jan 20
Problem Statement
In the previous years, investigations regarding criminal justice have been faced by a lot of irregularities. There has been a lot of corruption and violation of procedures. This has made people who were not guilty of crime to be taken as guilty due to being fixed (Laycock, 2012). Thus, this necessitated the need to come up with an evidence based approach to help in law enforcement.
Research Statement
This research is about evidenced based approach which is the use of scientific processes when making decisions regarding criminal justice cases. The research will look at the components that help to come up strategies of ensuring criminal justice. They include increasing the amount of research and transforming research findings into a format that a police officer can understand easily (Laycock, 2012). Some of the activities that police engage in that improve evidence based approach will be focused on. The research will also look at the activities that undermine evidence based approach. Violation of procedures and corruption hinder evidence based approach.
On the other hand, following the right procedures in investigations and avoiding corruption helps to improve evidence based approach. The challenges faced in the process of achieving evidence based approval are also addressed. They include inadequacy of documents required for crime analysis and peer pressure since some junior officers may do something that seniors do not approve (Sherman, 2013). Also, evidence based approach limits police officers from getting out of the car to conduct patrols. Additionally in police academies, there is overemphasis on following of procedures instead of dealing with the evidence at hand

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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.
