This document provides instructions and requirements for a persuasive speech assignment. Students are asked to partner up and deliver a 2-3 minute persuasive speech on a self-selected topic while sitting down. They must develop a survey to collect data from classmates, write a draft and final outline, and create a one-page handout. The speech must include a clear standpoint, citations, and allow time for debate. Guidelines are provided for the speech format, survey questions, outline structure, and evaluation criteria.
How to Field Test Forms, Instructions & Web Content Good field-testing requires a different way of thinking. Instead of explaining, you listen. Instead of helping, the group helps you understand what they see and don't see. Once you grasp this, your writing will never be the same. Join this seminar to learn how to do your own field tests. Requirements: Submit a 1 or 2 page document/content you would like to have tested. Highlight on that document the 3 most important things you want your reader to know. Then come to our workshop, and learn how to:
Draft an instrument designed to give voice to your readers,
Recruit FT participants,
Train your testing team, and
Conduct the test and report your data.

Professor observations in the research findings that need to be fixed in the next deliverable:
1) Introduction is insufficient and totally off - need brand or company history with information about target audience
2) Streamline your research objectives - place in bullets and some are not research objectives or things you will ask target participants. Example, "learn what business objectives...." is not a research objective - "to identify the extent..." I am not sure what you are focusing on finding out here unless you are showing creative work and getting their reaction. Rephrase these objectives!
3) Do not personalize - take out the "we" or "our", need to keep impersonal
4) If you say you interviewed a total of 14 participants, I need proof of research and it needs to be submitted as photos/recordings/transcripts notes. This is mandatory! Also, you say your target parcipant are children 15 and under, but you said you included parents. Fix!

Format to clearly understand what is the key finding presented: Key finding/description of finding/focus or individual group question asked/specific participant verbatims.

Your job is to find the insight or "pearl" that will be the key insight to support your creative recommendations and executions. I will be looking for this connection. Proof of research needs to be presented in order to get full points (pictures, recording or transcripts).
Document #1: RESEARCH BRIEF EXAMPLE - DEVELOP BEFORE MODERATOR OR DISCUSSION GUIDE
Research Brief Outline
What is a research brief?
Why is a brief so important? A solid research brief is like the foundation of a building – if you understand and are clear in what you are researching or need to know, your research is more likely to start on the right foot. Skimp on this critical early step, and your project is more likely to struggle.
So how do you write a brief that gets you off to a great start?
Background: Begin with a short summary of your current situation, and define clearly what you already know about the company/brand.
Research Objectives: Next, set out your research objectives. For research objectives, what issues and topics do you want to explore or discover? What problems do you need to solve? Defining clear research objectives will help your research team design a well-focused study. Clear objectives will also help you to assess the quality and focus of your research agency’s report.
Methodology/methodologies: Offer your suggestions about how the data might be collected. For example, which research methodology (or methodologies) you think will best suit your project, and why.
Markets: which cities, geographies are you studying and will be recruiting participants from.

Data Analysis 4: Interview
Directions:
Choose one participant that will agree to an administration of the interview schedule.
Find a quiet and comfortable place that sets your participant as ease. Remember not to deviate from the set interview schedule (although you can give minimal responses to requests for clarification or use neutral prompts or probes to get them going or keep them on track). Give your participant a pseudonym and record no information that could lead to their unique identification. Take detailed and exhaustive notes! Record everything because you may not realize that something is important until after the fact. Remember that the purpose of these content analyses is to gather data about how members of different groups think about, talk about, behave toward, or otherwise respond to another. You don’t have to record information that does not pertain to our purpose, but do record everything that may shed light on our research topic!
Take detailed notes during the interview. Include what they said and how they said it [important body language, pauses, and other non-verbal expressions should be noted in square brackets]. Find a quite place as soon after the interview is concluded to record your notes into this form. Clean your notes by removing your shorthand and explaining every detail. Remember that these notes need to be understandable on their own. Include everything and add additional details as you recall them. When you add detail after the fact in this first pass, use “Bright Green” text to distinguish it from your first observations.
Then set your notes aside for about 24 hours so that you can think about them some more. Make a third pass through your notes and use “Blue” text to distinguish these subsequent reflections from your first observations and your initial additions. It is important to make these distinctions clear because your understanding of the interview may change with time. Do not worry if your first, second, and third passes through your data agree with one another. Again, your perspective may change. It is important that you do not delete previous notes, but merely add to them each time through.
Finally, in all three passes, be careful to distinguish between what was said and your interpretation of what was said. Actual descriptions should be recorded in regular text (in the appropriate color), but your interpretations, opinions, and inferences from the data should be italicized. Try to maintain this “fact-value” distinction as carefully as you can (although it is impossible to be perfect in this regard). You can use as many pages for your notes as you need. This document will expand to make room. But please be conscientious about recording everything, including your reactions as the interviewer! Good luck and have fun!

ORAL DATA COLLECTION PROTOCAL
Instructions:
(1) Informing your Participant:
When an individual is approached to be interviewed, either with or without electronic recording, it is important that you explain to them very clearly who you are, what the project is about, why you are doing it, what risks it poses to them, who will benefit, and what will become of the materials. This makes for “informed consent,” meaning they truly understand what they are getting involved in. You can read the materials to them, and you may also give them the option of reading the description themselves.
(2) The Agreement to Interview Form
The Agreement to Interview form is a very good and appropriate way to insure that your participants know what they are getting into. After you have read the project description to them, and explained clearly what the project is about, why you are doing it, and what will become of the interviews and other materials.
You may then, if you feel it’s appropriate, ask them to sign the Agreement to Interview form, and give them a copy. Keep the other copy in a safe place.
Alternatively, you can obtain their consent “on tape,” in the actual interview.
(3) Final Consent Form
(a) Draft Review: Before obtaining final consent, it is absolutely essential that the participants be given the opportunity to look over any final product(s) that you produce from the interviews, and they should have the opportunity to request changes (which you should then make). Remember, this is their words you are using, and those words are their intellectual property. It is important that you respect their requests to have their words read as they want them to.
The final consent form is designed so that you can get their signature in advance, providing that you will make the changes that they request. They may also want a family member or other third party to edit their materials, and the form also allows for this.
(b) Final Consent: this form allows you to go ahead and publish their words in whatever form is appropriate to your project. Note that there are also places where they can choose to be identified. If they do not sign these, but request to remain anonymous, you must respect that and protect their identities from being released.
Informed Consent:
[Name of the Project]
[Your Contact Information]
Project Description: [insert]
Procedure and Risks:
We would like to record the interview, if you are willing, and use the tapes to write our materials. We will record the interview only with your written consent, and will ask that no personal identifiers be used during the interview, to ensure your anonymity. Please feel free to say as much or as little as you want. You can decide not to answer any question, or to stop the interview any time you want. The tapes and transcripts will become the property of project.
If you so choose, the recordings and recording-transcripts (or copy of notes taken) will be kept anonymous, without .

FROM: <insert student name>
TO: Professor Poladian, Instructor SELP 694, LMU
DATE: <insert date>
SUBJECT: Memo on <insert speaker name>, <insert title of speaker’s presentation in quotes>
On February XX, 2015 in the SELP 694 Seminar Class, Mr. XYZ presented a lecture entitled “Systems Engineering LMU SE Seminar Class.” Mr. XYZ is currently the Vice President of ABC Corp. Mr. XYZ graduated from XYZ University and joined the US Navy to work in various intelligence positions and travelled throughout the world.
Mr. XYZ described the typical career path for a systems engineer including the expectations and responsibilities of the various positions. Furthermore, Mr. XYZ shared the different aspects of business sizes and how to develop new business in both the commercial and government arenas.
Mr. XYZ started off the seminar with a concept called “MATTESS,” which stands for “Money, Advancement, Travel, Training, Experience, Satisfaction, and Security.” The concept states that an employee is motivated to do their best work by at least one of the aforementioned items. System engineers usually promote themselves out of a job, which includes the transition to engineering management, then managing engineering, then program management, and finally business development. Transitioning to engineering management requires good communication and motivational skills. In addition, transitioning to managing engineering requires the understanding of corporate goals as well as management of budgets, schedules, requirements, and business strategy development. Furthermore, transitioning to program management requires successful budget, schedule, requirements, and new business development as well as providing key interactions with the customer. Lastly, transitioning to business development requires a good understanding of how business is generated, engaging customers and competitors, helping the customer sell the solution, find funding, and finally keeping the program sold. Mr. XYZ described the different business sizes including the large-sized businesses such as Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, medium-sized businesses such as Honeywell and Rockwell Collins, and finally small-sized businesses, which are the largest growing market segments relied upon by the government and large-sized businesses.
Mr. XYZ’s presentation made me realize that satisfaction is what motivates me to do my best work as a subcontracts manager at my company. Furthermore, my position allows me to transition into my company’s business development area and I found Mr. XYZ’s presentation useful in helping me achieve my promotion goal into this new area.
I found the speaker very engaging and I appreciated his openness with his personal life which allowed the audience to connect more with him on a personal level. I also appreciated the information he ...

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.

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.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

SAMPLE OUTLINE FOR SPEECH
I. Introduction
A. Greeting: Good afternoon, my name is Dana Radford and my name is Jessica
Wilder
B. Attention Getter: We hope the sounds of Bob Marley’s One Love song has put
you in calm and relaxing mood. Because today we want to talk about legalizing
marijuana. Did you know according to the survey taken in this class 100% of the
class agree with us. However, 6% of the class feels it should only be legalized for
medicinal purposes (Radford/Wilder). Today we hope to show the 6% of you the
benefits of legalizing marijuana across the board.

Unites States for economic and medicinal purposes.
II. Body

B. Wordpress.com Information
III. Conclusion
Closing Argument & Standpoint: there are so many different ways marijuana can be
used to help. From boosting our economy to helping individuals with chronic pain
there seems to be many benefits of legalizing marijuana. We hope that the 6% of you
in the class who only think it should be legalized for medicinal purposes will consider
our point of view. Like we stated before we strongly feel marijuana should be
legalized in the United States for medicinal and recreational purposes. Thank you.

SAMPLE OF SPEECH/DRAFT TIME: 1:46
D: Good Afternoon My name is Dana Radford
J: And my name is Jessica Wilder
D: We hope the sounds of Bob Marley’s One Love song has put you in a calm and relaxing
mood because today we want to talk about legalizing marijuana.
J: That’s right, my partner and I strongly feel marijuana should be legalized in the United
States for economic and medicinal purposes.
D: Hey Jessica, did you know according to the survey taken in this class 100% of the class
agree with us. However, 6% of the class feels it should only be legalized for medicinal
purposes. Today we hope to show the 6% of you the benefits of legalizing marijuana
across the board.
J: We feel by legalizing marijuana, we would free up our law enforcement to work on
tracking hard crimes and criminals, while helping the economy by taxing the drug. The
Huffington Post states that by legalizing marijuana the United States would generate
about $20 billion per year; from the year 2000-2010 the United States spent $211 million
on enforcing marijuana laws (Miron).
D: Wow Jessica that’s really good information to know but, imagine your family member
with cancer and in constant pain. According to Wordpress.com the major benefits of this
herb are that it can kill pain of any intensity in a few minutes or sometimes hours.
Usually marijuana therapy is given to the patients suffering from AIDS, cancer, glaucoma
and many other chronic diseases (Wordpress.com).
