Writer's checklist
This document provides a checklist for writers to consider when creating a profile or portrayal of a subject. It prompts writers to reflect on whether they truly understand their subject's inner and outer selves, the long-term significance of the subject's life, and whether their portrayal will maintain reader interest and share the writer's perspective. Writers are also encouraged to determine their emphasis, level of detail, approach, sourcing of information, how their work differs from prior coverage, and whether their representation is fair and supported by evidence.

PS 101 Public Opinion & Polling Fall 2008
Public opinion polls aim to estimate the views of a large population by surveying a random sample. Scientific polling uses probability sampling to select a demographically representative sample, reducing sampling error. Sample size affects margin of error - a sample of 400 yields a margin of error of +/-6%. Random sampling is crucial to ensure polls accurately reflect public opinion, unlike unscientific straw polls or push polls which use misleading questions to manipulate responses.
Focusing the story
The document provides guidance on writing news stories, including how to focus a story, evaluate accuracy and fairness, identify stakeholders, structure stories in an inverted pyramid format, conduct interviews, record information as on- or off-the-record, get both sides of a story, and find facts from official records and statements. Students are assigned to write a story applying these techniques and send it to the instructor for feedback and posting on social media.

Definition and types of research
This document provides an overview of key concepts in research methodology, including:
1. It defines research as an organized and systematic process of finding answers to questions through a defined set of steps and procedures.
2. It discusses different types of research including quantitative, qualitative, basic, applied, longitudinal, descriptive, classification, comparative, exploratory, explanatory, causal, theory testing, and theory building research.

Types of Research
The document discusses various types of research including applied research, basic research, correlational research, descriptive research, ethnographic research, experimental research, and exploratory research. Applied research seeks practical solutions to problems, while basic research expands knowledge without a direct application. Correlational research examines relationships between variables without determining cause and effect. Descriptive research provides accurate portrayals of characteristics, and ethnographic research involves in-depth study of cultures. Experimental research establishes cause-and-effect through controlled manipulation of variables.
Pedagogy for the One-Shot: Extend, Simplify, Connect
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of climate change on global wheat production. Researchers found that rising temperatures will significantly reduce wheat yields across different regions of the world by the end of the century. Under a high emissions scenario, wheat production is projected to decrease between 6-27% globally depending on the region and crop model used. Adaptation efforts like developing heat tolerant wheat varieties could help reduce some of the negative impacts.

tricky words to practice truncation
The document provides guidance on effective search terms for various topics, dividing them into three categories:
More straightforward terms that can be used with a truncation symbol like dent* to represent related words like dentistry.
Trickier terms where truncation may return unexpected results due to other meanings, like polic* matching police but also policy.
Wildcard terms using special symbols to broaden the search, like wom!n to include women and woman without truncation. It also discusses using truncation as a word game to generate multiple related terms from a root.
