Running head: DRAFT OF DATA PRESENTATION 1 DATA PRESENTATION 3 HEA 530 Milestone 2: Draft of Data Presentation Sharon Riley-Ordu Southern New Hampshire University June 30, 2019 Data Presentation, Analysis and Discussion Interviews with Office of Alumni Affairs Staff In order to prepare for the presentation of data and decide on data sources to be used for evaluation, interviews were conducted with The Director, Associate Director, and Supervisor of Student Interns. Key information was gleaned from each interview which will be briefly discussion. The first interview was with Tom Fitzgerald, Director. According to Tom, the overall goal is to improve the pledge rate at Binchley College by 6%. He shared there is an overall decline in contributions. Because these contributions are used to fund special programs, especially related to the college marine ecology and Native American studies degrees, it is critical that they increase. In this interview we discussed the biggest decline in contributions was from the alumni donors aged 55 and over. I asked the Director what he thought this decline could be attributed to. He provided several different possible explanations such as death, fixed income retirement, illness and that people in this age group may be helping children and grandchildren. My next interview was with the Associate Director. We discussed a slight increase in last two years in the donations from middle-aged and younger alumni, especially graduates of the Native American program. The percentages of graduates from the program have increased, but that can’t be the only explanation for the improvement. She shared information about a small pilot program designed especially for graduates of the Native American program, and promising results. They were invited back for a long weekend to participate in current excavation projects and research associated with it. It has been a great social event and resulted in generating income from the tuition along with the participants donating to the college while at the event and again when the Office of Alumni Affairs solicits donations for specific needs of the research projects throughout the year. The third and final interview was with the Student Intern Supervisor. Each of the individuals interviewed are graduates of Binchley College, so they clearly have a stake in making sure the college remains successful. The Student Intern Supervisor, Shelley, is a graduate with a major in Native American Studies. She worked on the pilot program with the Associate Director, Jesse which was mentioned earlier. In this interview, we talked further about the increases in donations from Native American Alumni. A key question was asked: Do you know if a survey of the alumni of the Native American program has been conducted to measure the effect of the blog and other forms of communication you’ve used has had on their willingness to donate? Shelley replied that they have not conducted a survey. Data .

A One-Stop Approach to Supporting the Nonacademic Needs of Community College ...
1) Community college students, especially low-income students, face high dropout rates due to both academic and non-academic challenges. Non-academic challenges include financial difficulties, food insecurity, homelessness, and lack of access to social services.
2) Single Stop aims to address this issue through a "one-stop shop" model that connects students to existing social services and benefits through screenings, applications assistance, and referrals. This helps students meet basic needs so they can focus on their studies.
3) By helping students access financial resources, handle other life challenges, and feel supported by their college, Single Stop hopes to increase persistence and completion rates. However, the impact may vary between colleges
Project Individual Reflection Paper And Project Group
This document discusses challenges with completing a project group for an assessment course. It describes gaining knowledge and assessment practice through the project. Several challenges were identified, including applying rigorous assessment to encourage student involvement. The document discusses collaborating to assess programs and ensuring assessments are documented with evidence. It indicates the project was aligned with the university's strategic plan initiatives.
Research (danya)
This document discusses several factors that can affect students' academic achievement and experiences in university, including:
1) Teacher-student relationships, with research showing this relationship significantly impacts student success. Effective teaching methods, understanding student perspectives, and providing encouragement and feedback are important.
2) Sleep, as insufficient sleep decreases concentration, attention, and memory retention, hindering academic performance. Many students do not prioritize sleep.
3) Commuting, as long or difficult commutes reduce time available for studying and focus.
4) Working jobs during studies, which mostly impacts non-academic aspects like socializing, according to some research, though it can also strain academic performance.
Adult Learners Who Are They And What Do They Want
This document provides an overview of a study examining the characteristics and career goals of adult learners. It analyzes survey responses from nearly 12,000 adult learners at 11 colleges and universities. Key findings include:
1) Adult learners surveyed were on average 38 years old, mostly white women. Many were married or financially independent.
2) Personal satisfaction and attaining life goals were the primary reasons for attending college, rather than job advancement.
3) Adult learners reported lower feelings of superiority than traditional college students. They received strong family support for their education.
4) Most adult learners felt they had clear career objectives and plans, though those with only high school degrees were less clear.

This document discusses funding and compliance changes in California schools resulting from the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). It notes that funding will be based on the number of English learners, low-income students, and foster youth. Schools will be required to improve services for these student groups. Compliance changes include meeting standards in subject areas, testing, graduation rates, and access to courses. The timeline for the new Local Control Accountability Plans is provided. School counselors can help identify student needs and direct resources to support at-risk groups. Their involvement in professional development and using data to target these populations can help ensure funding goes toward improving student outcomes.
Social Factors Influencing Academic Success
This document summarizes research on various social factors that influence student academic success. It reports on a survey of 106 college students that found cultural stereotypes may negatively impact minority student performance, with Caucasian students more likely to have a GPA over 3.5. It also found that students with loans reported their financial status as more influential on grades and had slightly lower GPAs. Further, students with more involved parents or alloparents in their education tended to have higher GPAs. The document concludes that social factors likely influence academic success but the study results were inconclusive due to limitations.

Module OverviewLiberal and Market Models of Higher Education .docx
Module Overview:
Liberal and Market Models of Higher Education Policy
Module Five focuses on two states, California and Minnesota, as the complexities of higher education policy are examined and the variety of political, social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to the ways in which policies are developed are discussed. These policies, in turn, deeply impact the higher education systems within both states, with a particularly strong influence on funding models for colleges and universities.
Higher Education Policy in California
The California Master Plan for Higher Education guided the development of three campus systems in California: the University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), and California Community Colleges systems (St. John, Daun-Barnett, & Moronski-Chapman, 2013). Nearly four out of five college students in California attend one of the three public education systems and three out of every four bachelor degrees awarded annually are from either the UC or CSU systems (Johnson, 2014). Yet, the state is facing somewhat of an education crisis and Johnson projects a shortfall of one million college graduates by 2025.
In recent years, the historic California model has broken down as the systems have been negatively impacted by the state’s fiscal woes. While colleges and universities have responded to funding cuts by reducing expenses, including cutting administrative costs and hiring more non-tenure track faculty, declines in state support have forced the UC system to increase tuition fees by 50% in three years while CSU fees have increase by 47% in the same period (Johnson, Cook, Murphy, and Weston, 2014). Students are increasingly becoming indebted in order to accomplish their educational goals in California; the average loan amounts among students have risen 36% between 2005 and 2010 (a figure adjusted for inflation) (Johnson, 2014). Hoping to save expenses, many students begin their college educations at California community colleges, which have become so overcrowded that in 2012, 137,000 students could not enroll into at least one class that they needed and community colleges resorted to “rationing” courses (Dellner, 2012). This evidence suggests new changes are needed in the California state system to support students at all levels of enrollment.
In part, California’s steady decreases in higher education funding are a consequence of a need to fund other state services; for example, Johnson (2012) notes that from 2002 to 2012, state expenditures for higher education fell by close to 10% whereas expenditures for corrections and rehabilitation increased by 26%. Historical trends suggest that the state’s priorities began shifting from higher education toward corrections since the 1970s, even though the majority of Californians (68%) opposed spending cuts in higher education to reduce state budget deficits and 62% supported spending cuts in corrections to balance state budgets (Baldassare, Bonner, Pet.

Introduction to the DePaul University Office
The Office of _____ is a division of Student affairs that focuses in on the adult
population of students. They work with various resources to help adult students
transition from their lives into the academic space. They are there to provide a
helping hand to students above the age of 24 pursuing any degree at the University.
The three primary methods this office utilizes are Programs, Advocacy, and Services.
By offering these three essential methods of support, this office hopes to ensure
success to all and any Adult Students who seek it.
DePaul University has built a name on diversity and a personable experience to
learning. To help assure that all populations of students are serviced, the University
has allocated many departments. The DePaul Office not only services adult students,
but leads a joint effort to provide for Veteran Students as well as Commuter Students.
Thus this Department is known as the Office of Adult, Veteran, and Commuter
Student Affairs. Each wing uses their own coordinators and resources to provide the
best experience for their populations.

government programs. They also compete with households because many may
choose to be stay at home parents. The Higher Education Industry has many
subsets of programs and offices that help enhance the education experience for
Students. Advocacy programs compete with athletics and other inner school
departments. They also compete with hobbies such the gym or outside clubs with
no affiliation with the school. The amount of students seeking higher education is
a market of about 21.6 Million projected to be about 24 Million by the year 2020.
31% of Undergraduate enrollments are of Adult students (Aslanian 4). These are
adults seeking higher.

The situation analysis discusses research showing a direct relationship between alcohol use and sexual assault on college campuses. Several studies found that alcohol consumption contributes to sexual assault by impairing judgment and lowering inhibitions. The research also indicates that individuals with a history of childhood abuse or in abusive relationships are more likely to experience negative consequences, like sexual assault, when consuming alcohol.

The document summarizes a review of North Carolina's NC REACH post-secondary education program for foster youth. It finds that while the program has increased college enrollment for foster youth, there is insufficient data to determine whether program support services like mentoring and tutoring are effective. It recommends a formal program evaluation be conducted to evaluate the program's structure, outcomes, and efficiency in meeting its goals.
HFABRecommendation2014_15
The Health Fee Advisory Board recommends a 5% increase in the fall/spring health care fee from $59.50 to $62.50 and a 7% increase in the summer fee from $44.50 to $47.00. This is expected to still result in a $202,964 budget deficit for University Health Services. The minority perspective expressed concerns that the fee increases continue to place the burden on students rather than the university finding alternative funding sources. The board discussed advocating for long-term changes such as developing a student vision for health and wellness, improving communication between student health committees, and involving relevant academic departments to help address mental health and other issues.

Academic Performance Of Students Who Receive Need-Based Financial Aid
This document summarizes a research paper that studied the academic performance of students who receive need-based financial aid compared to those who do not. The paper used data from Yavapai Community College to compare the GPAs of full-time students who received need-based financial aid to those who did not over two academic years. The results showed that there was no significant difference in GPA between the groups. This suggests that students who receive need-based financial aid perform academically similarly to students who do not receive such aid.

The article highlights how Dr. Robinson's youthful exuberance helps children lead healthier lives.
ISU COB Student Satisfaction Report
The goal of this project was to ascertain students' opinions of the ISU College of Business in the areas of class offerings, advising, clubs, faculty, campus and community involvement, professional development, value of a business degree, and the overall COB facility. This was accomplished by the creation and distribution of a survey in fall 2014, and analysis of the survey in spring 2015. Based on the analysis, recommendations for future research and improving student experiences at the College of Business are discussed.
Eanes Senior Thesis
This paper examines factors that affect four-year graduation rates at public colleges and universities in the United States. The author uses econometric modeling and regression analysis on data from 199 randomly selected public institutions. Key findings from the study suggest higher freshman retention rates, average financial aid amounts, smaller class sizes, in-state tuition costs, and average incoming GPA positively impact graduation rates, while higher male percentages, urban locations, and Hispanic percentages have negative effects. Percentages of Greek life members did not significantly impact rates.
Mentorship Program at Southern Miss
This presentation was designed for a project 3.3 in my English 333 class (technical writing). The project was given to the class with the goal of addressing an issue in the community. The issue I addressed was the lack of a proper mentor-ship program at University of Southern Mississippi.
MENTOR Academic Achievement
This document discusses how mentoring can help improve academic achievement among American youth. It notes that 1 in 5 youth do not graduate high school, and many require remedial college courses. Mentoring relationships have been shown to increase the likelihood that youth stay in school and complete homework. Studies show mentored youth are 52% more likely to stay in school. Mentors can help youth develop skills to overcome barriers to academic success by providing academic support, developing non-cognitive skills, and connecting youth to community resources. Investing in high-quality mentoring programs can help address the critical need to improve educational outcomes in the U.S.

Should Everyone Go to College – Rhetorical Analysis
Education is believed to be the key to success. It is considered a smart investment associated with a number of benefits including earning more money and job satisfaction among others. Higher education is beneficial but may not be a smart investment for those attending it. Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill argue that a college degree should not be a must to everyone. The enormous variation existing in the return to education based on several factors such as the field of study and institution attended among others are some factors to consider when thinking of higher education as a must investment. Despite the positive return on education, higher education may not be a smart investment to everyone. Student should be allowed to choose wisely their postsecondary education to ensure that they fully benefit from their choice. （In thesis, clarify the strength of ethos, pathos, logos in the article.）
Target Audience（no subtitle）
Going for higher education is valuable though it may not be the best investment for all young people who intend to college. Benefits of attending college include improved overall wellbeing and reduced crime among others. As much higher education is valuable, it may not benefit all those who attend it equally. Policymakers who are the target audience should acknowledge the fact that higher education does not equally benefit all those who attend it. They should consider the rate of return as well as variations in rate of return on education before considering it the best investment. Owen and Sawhill illustrate why higher education is not necessarily a smart investment for everyone by focusing on rate of return. They illustrate how variation in the school attended, career chosen, and graduation affect the rate of return on education. The use rhetorical appeals to convince the policymakers that attending college may be a disservice to some students.
Rhetorical Appeals
Logos
The authors use logos to convince policymakers that attending college is beneficial but does not equally benefit all students. They illustrate the benefits of attending higher education by stating the gap that exists in annual earnings between college graduates and high school graduates that is quite appealing. A college graduates working full time should earn $15,000 more than a high school graduate. However, this is not the case because from previous studies, the rate of return for attending an additional year of school is approximately 10%. This means that an individual aged 23-25 years old attending college for four years should earn $12,000 more than a high school graduate on a median earning of $30,000 though it less than what is expected (p.209). Additionally, a research by Hamilton Project indicates that the gap in the earnings grows to $46,500 by age 50. This is a clear indication that investing in college is valuable.

This document discusses a thesis submitted to Yale University School of Medicine on the career interests and mentorship experiences of international and minority medical students in US medical schools. The introduction provides background on health disparities faced by minority populations in the US and the lack of diversity in the US physician workforce. It notes that increasing diversity in the physician workforce is important to providing quality care to diverse populations. However, despite population changes, diversity has not increased proportionally in the physician workforce. The study aims to understand differences in career interests, influences on career choice, and mentorship experiences between international and underrepresented minority (URM) medical students.Campus Compact 2012 Annual Member Survey
Campus Compact has conducted an annual membership survey since 1987 with the goal to help the organization and its member campuses track the extent of civic engagement activity in order to implement ongoing improvements. Campus Compact members should be proud of their role in educating students for responsible citizenship, strengthening communities, and fulfilling the public purpose of higher education. This year's results tell a story of continued growth in support structures for campus engagement, leading to notable levels of engagement with students, faculty, and community partners.

412 CounCil for ExCEptional ChildrEn
One of Ms. Barry’s students, Paul, a
16-year-old with autism spectrum
disorder and intellectual disability (ID),
came to school talking about his older
brother who had just started college.
Paul wants to go to college, too, but his
parents do not think that this is a
realistic goal and are asking for her
advice. Ms. Barry has never heard this
question from a student’s parents before
and is unsure about what to tell them.
Students with intellectual and
developmental disabilities (IDD), such
as autism spectrum disorder and Down
syndrome, have more opportunities to
go to college than ever before (Hart,
Grigal, & Weir, 2010). Over the last
decade, the issue of increasing access
to college for students with IDD has
gained much national attention, in part
due to federal funding through the
Higher Education Opportunity Act
(2008). According to Think College—
a national organization dedicated to
expanding and improving opportunities
for inclusive higher education for
students with IDD—more than 240
inclusive college programs for students
with ID exist across the United States
(see Figure 1; Think College, 2017).
This number represents an exponential
increase in programs—nearly 10 times
greater than the number of programs
available in 2004 (National
Coordinating Center Accreditation
Workgroup, 2016). Not only are there
more programs to choose from, with
recent revisions to the Higher
Education Opportunity Act, students

Several sources of data provide a

from the Rehabilitation Services
Administration suggests that up to 20%
of youth with ID in each state are in
postsecondary education while
receiving vocational rehabilitation
services (Grigal, Migliore, & Hart,

Transition Study 2 indicated that 28.7%
of youth with ID enrolled in some type
of postsecondary education within 8
years after exiting high school
(Newman et al., 2011). Through recent
federal funding for Transition and

This study aimed at analysing the factors that contribute to low student success and retention in open
and distance learning (ODL) institutions. The Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU), Mashonaland East Regional
Centre was purposively selected for the study which adopted the case study design in order to provide a detailed
empirical investigation of the problem of retention rates in ZOU. The study employed the qualitative research
methodology. Data were gathered through focus group discussions, questionnaires and in-depth interviews to
enable data triangulation. The target population was 650 students who all took part in the survey. These were
drawn from all the four faculties of the University at the Mashonaland East Regional Centre. The study revealed
that student enrolment statistics at the ZOU - Mashonaland East Regional Centre experienced the worst decline
(40%) in 2009 between the first and second semester due to socio-economic and political challenges prevailing
in the country. The rate of decline in enrolment varied according to programmes. Also the participation of
women (44%) in distance education as compared to men (56%) at Mashonaland East Regional Centre was a
cause for concern. Financial challenges caused by low salaries and unfriendly fees policy was cited by almost
92% of the respondents as the major cause of student dropout. Institutional – related factors such as tutoring,
communication, library services and fees policy were said to be significantly contributing to student dropout.
The study made a number of recommendations among which were that ZOU needs to improve the quality and
effectiveness of student support services in the following areas: management of assignments, delivery of
tutorials, distribution of study materials, and publication of examinations. Tutorial time per module should be
increased (12 tutorial hours per module). ZOU should consider the advantages of the Block release method of
delivery as opposed to tutorials. Student queries, of whatever nature, must be addressed promptly and
effectively. It is also important for ZOU to create a billing system that will allow for some flexibility in fees
payment. An example would be allowing students to set up a payment plan. ZOU must adopt policies and
procedures that address the special needs of distance education students since distance education encompasses
a broad range of age groups.

Criminological Theories
MCJ 5135 Theory of Crime and Criminology
The Relevance of Psychological Theories in Criminology
The engagement of an individual in criminal activities is often influenced by various underlying factors. As such various theories have been developed to explain the behavioral patterns of criminals and enable the criminal justice departments to operate effectively. Among the developed theories, the psychological theories are perhaps the most accurate in the field of criminology. Psychological theories are based on an interaction between biological and social-cultural factors that either promote or deter criminal behavior, (Walters, 2016). Classical theories of criminology did not account for the state of mind of criminals. As such, many criminals in the past were convicted of crimes they committed unknowingly. This has changed since the adoption of psychological theories. Both individuals as well as criminal justice officials now understand that psychological factors influence criminal behavior. Appropriate measures have been implemented to ensure that the criminal justice department treats all persons fairly by assessing underlying psychological factors. As such, psychological theories have not only promoted the work of the criminal justice department but also promoted individual awareness about underlying mental conditions that affect an individual’s behavior, (Byrne & Hummer, 2016).
Review of the Literature
1. Byrne, J., & Hummer, D. (2016). An examination of the impact of criminological theory on community corrections practice. Fed. Probation, 80, 15.
According toByrne & Hummer (2016), psychological theories have the most direct influence on probation and parole compared to other theories of criminology. The authors have comprehensively analyzed the impact of various theories used to evaluate criminal behavior. They suggest that behavior is intertwined with unconscious motives. Therefore, understanding the reasons behind a crime requires a psychological evaluation to understand the interaction of the two factors. This article is suitable for this research because it captures the relevance of psychological theories in criminology.
2. Dippong, J., & Fitch, C. (2017). Emotions in criminological theory: Insights from social psychology. Sociology Compass, 11(4), e12473.
Few formal theories have been developed to capture the role of emotional processes as facilitators or inhibitors of crime, (Dippong & Fitch, 2017). According to the authors, gaps in criminology can be filled by focusing on the underlying psychological factors of the offenders. The article highlights the effect that practices such as interrogation have on the mental state of an individual thus resulting in inaccurate findings during criminal investigations. As such, this article is a reliable source of information about the relevance of applying psychological theories in criminology. .

A comparative analysis between Korean melodrama and other local melodrama
Student name
Institution
Most studies in recent times have discovered that Korean dramas have come with a “Korean wave” in media in the global stage. Audiences have been reconceptualised due to the availability of internet and computer that have facilitated the digital revolution. Korean melodrama has earned more views than local melodrama, a result of its marketing its content without owning a means of distribution.
Korean melodrama is a representation of a product that is a hybrid of Hollywood, since Korean melodrama makes use of practices, tools, and conventions in the narrative that comes with the preoccupation of the Korean socio-political and historical aspects. The aspect of familiarity that lacks in local melodrama exists in Korean melodrama. Studies in have shown that audiences tend to respond positively to things they are familiar to and that is exactly what Korean melodrama is.
The use of genre by Korean melodrama is a huge success to its big audiences from the west, as a study by the Korean Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) back in 2015 estimated that around 19 million Americans enjoy Korean melodrama compared to five million who preferred local melodrama as they are a definition of what the world is in reality. The aspect of what is good and what is bad entangled with emotional narratives that give the audience an opportunity to select a hero or a heroine (Martin, 2019).
Korean melodrama are structured in a way that the audience can critique structures of institutional powers and explore a world with aspects of complex social issues. Korean melodrama has a vital element of their characters not being complex and this does not place a huge burden of danger or any sort of conflict in their existing world (Smith, 2017). The study also found out that Korean dramas have integrated aspects of adventures, romance and included professional fields like doctors and police, and lawyer, which are familiar genres to the audience. The structure of the Korean melodrama comes along with themes and selective iconography that make Korean melodrama suitable for global audiences.
Korean drama has earned viewers more than local dramas in the local stage given the Korean dramas depict the actual Korean culture. Most people are attracted to Korean melodrama since they are interested with the reality. A study by a Korean television found out that their supervisor had received more than five hundred emails from people who were not Korean to include English subtitles in their videos. This proves to be a massive support comparing people have less interest in their local drama. Korean drama have earned a huge fan base due to the license agreement of online streaming that was agreed by Korea (Moon, 2019). Studies have recorded that the market of Korean melodrama has around 12% of them wh.

Module Overview:
Liberal and Market Models of Higher Education Policy
Module Five focuses on two states, California and Minnesota, as the complexities of higher education policy are examined and the variety of political, social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to the ways in which policies are developed are discussed. These policies, in turn, deeply impact the higher education systems within both states, with a particularly strong influence on funding models for colleges and universities.
Higher Education Policy in California
The California Master Plan for Higher Education guided the development of three campus systems in California: the University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), and California Community Colleges systems (St. John, Daun-Barnett, & Moronski-Chapman, 2013). Nearly four out of five college students in California attend one of the three public education systems and three out of every four bachelor degrees awarded annually are from either the UC or CSU systems (Johnson, 2014). Yet, the state is facing somewhat of an education crisis and Johnson projects a shortfall of one million college graduates by 2025.
In recent years, the historic California model has broken down as the systems have been negatively impacted by the state’s fiscal woes. While colleges and universities have responded to funding cuts by reducing expenses, including cutting administrative costs and hiring more non-tenure track faculty, declines in state support have forced the UC system to increase tuition fees by 50% in three years while CSU fees have increase by 47% in the same period (Johnson, Cook, Murphy, and Weston, 2014). Students are increasingly becoming indebted in order to accomplish their educational goals in California; the average loan amounts among students have risen 36% between 2005 and 2010 (a figure adjusted for inflation) (Johnson, 2014). Hoping to save expenses, many students begin their college educations at California community colleges, which have become so overcrowded that in 2012, 137,000 students could not enroll into at least one class that they needed and community colleges resorted to “rationing” courses (Dellner, 2012). This evidence suggests new changes are needed in the California state system to support students at all levels of enrollment.
In part, California’s steady decreases in higher education funding are a consequence of a need to fund other state services; for example, Johnson (2012) notes that from 2002 to 2012, state expenditures for higher education fell by close to 10% whereas expenditures for corrections and rehabilitation increased by 26%. Historical trends suggest that the state’s priorities began shifting from higher education toward corrections since the 1970s, even though the majority of Californians (68%) opposed spending cuts in higher education to reduce state budget deficits and 62% supported spending cuts in corrections to balance state budgets (Baldassare, Bonner, Pet.

The situation analysis discusses research showing a direct relationship between alcohol use and sexual assault on college campuses. Several studies found that alcohol consumption contributes to sexual assault by impairing judgment and lowering inhibitions. The research also indicates that individuals with a history of childhood abuse or in abusive relationships are more likely to experience negative consequences, like sexual assault, when consuming alcohol.

The Health Fee Advisory Board recommends a 5% increase in the fall/spring health care fee from $59.50 to $62.50 and a 7% increase in the summer fee from $44.50 to $47.00. This is expected to still result in a $202,964 budget deficit for University Health Services. The minority perspective expressed concerns that the fee increases continue to place the burden on students rather than the university finding alternative funding sources. The board discussed advocating for long-term changes such as developing a student vision for health and wellness, improving communication between student health committees, and involving relevant academic departments to help address mental health and other issues.

Academic Performance Of Students Who Receive Need-Based Financial Aid
This document summarizes a research paper that studied the academic performance of students who receive need-based financial aid compared to those who do not. The paper used data from Yavapai Community College to compare the GPAs of full-time students who received need-based financial aid to those who did not over two academic years. The results showed that there was no significant difference in GPA between the groups. This suggests that students who receive need-based financial aid perform academically similarly to students who do not receive such aid.

This paper examines factors that affect four-year graduation rates at public colleges and universities in the United States. The author uses econometric modeling and regression analysis on data from 199 randomly selected public institutions. Key findings from the study suggest higher freshman retention rates, average financial aid amounts, smaller class sizes, in-state tuition costs, and average incoming GPA positively impact graduation rates, while higher male percentages, urban locations, and Hispanic percentages have negative effects. Percentages of Greek life members did not significantly impact rates.

MENTOR Academic Achievement
This document discusses how mentoring can help improve academic achievement among American youth. It notes that 1 in 5 youth do not graduate high school, and many require remedial college courses. Mentoring relationships have been shown to increase the likelihood that youth stay in school and complete homework. Studies show mentored youth are 52% more likely to stay in school. Mentors can help youth develop skills to overcome barriers to academic success by providing academic support, developing non-cognitive skills, and connecting youth to community resources. Investing in high-quality mentoring programs can help address the critical need to improve educational outcomes in the U.S.

Should Everyone Go to College – Rhetorical Analysis
Education is believed to be the key to success. It is considered a smart investment associated with a number of benefits including earning more money and job satisfaction among others. Higher education is beneficial but may not be a smart investment for those attending it. Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill argue that a college degree should not be a must to everyone. The enormous variation existing in the return to education based on several factors such as the field of study and institution attended among others are some factors to consider when thinking of higher education as a must investment. Despite the positive return on education, higher education may not be a smart investment to everyone. Student should be allowed to choose wisely their postsecondary education to ensure that they fully benefit from their choice. （In thesis, clarify the strength of ethos, pathos, logos in the article.）
Target Audience（no subtitle）
Going for higher education is valuable though it may not be the best investment for all young people who intend to college. Benefits of attending college include improved overall wellbeing and reduced crime among others. As much higher education is valuable, it may not benefit all those who attend it equally. Policymakers who are the target audience should acknowledge the fact that higher education does not equally benefit all those who attend it. They should consider the rate of return as well as variations in rate of return on education before considering it the best investment. Owen and Sawhill illustrate why higher education is not necessarily a smart investment for everyone by focusing on rate of return. They illustrate how variation in the school attended, career chosen, and graduation affect the rate of return on education. The use rhetorical appeals to convince the policymakers that attending college may be a disservice to some students.
Rhetorical Appeals
Logos
The authors use logos to convince policymakers that attending college is beneficial but does not equally benefit all students. They illustrate the benefits of attending higher education by stating the gap that exists in annual earnings between college graduates and high school graduates that is quite appealing. A college graduates working full time should earn $15,000 more than a high school graduate. However, this is not the case because from previous studies, the rate of return for attending an additional year of school is approximately 10%. This means that an individual aged 23-25 years old attending college for four years should earn $12,000 more than a high school graduate on a median earning of $30,000 though it less than what is expected (p.209). Additionally, a research by Hamilton Project indicates that the gap in the earnings grows to $46,500 by age 50. This is a clear indication that investing in college is valuable.

This document discusses a thesis submitted to Yale University School of Medicine on the career interests and mentorship experiences of international and minority medical students in US medical schools. The introduction provides background on health disparities faced by minority populations in the US and the lack of diversity in the US physician workforce. It notes that increasing diversity in the physician workforce is important to providing quality care to diverse populations. However, despite population changes, diversity has not increased proportionally in the physician workforce. The study aims to understand differences in career interests, influences on career choice, and mentorship experiences between international and underrepresented minority (URM) medical students.Campus Compact 2012 Annual Member Survey

412 CounCil for ExCEptional ChildrEn
One of Ms. Barry’s students, Paul, a
16-year-old with autism spectrum
disorder and intellectual disability (ID),
came to school talking about his older
brother who had just started college.
Paul wants to go to college, too, but his
parents do not think that this is a
realistic goal and are asking for her
advice. Ms. Barry has never heard this
question from a student’s parents before
and is unsure about what to tell them.
Students with intellectual and
developmental disabilities (IDD), such
as autism spectrum disorder and Down
syndrome, have more opportunities to
go to college than ever before (Hart,
Grigal, & Weir, 2010). Over the last
decade, the issue of increasing access
to college for students with IDD has
gained much national attention, in part
due to federal funding through the
Higher Education Opportunity Act
(2008). According to Think College—
a national organization dedicated to
expanding and improving opportunities
for inclusive higher education for
students with IDD—more than 240
inclusive college programs for students
with ID exist across the United States
(see Figure 1; Think College, 2017).
This number represents an exponential
increase in programs—nearly 10 times
greater than the number of programs
available in 2004 (National
Coordinating Center Accreditation
Workgroup, 2016). Not only are there
more programs to choose from, with
recent revisions to the Higher
Education Opportunity Act, students
with ID also can access federal
financial aid for attending
postsecondary education programs that
meet federal requirements (Hart et al.,
2010).
Several sources of data provide a
snapshot of college attendance by
students with IDD. An analysis of data
from the Rehabilitation Services
Administration suggests that up to 20%
of youth with ID in each state are in
postsecondary education while
receiving vocational rehabilitation
services (Grigal, Migliore, & Hart,
2014). The National Longitudinal
Transition Study 2 indicated that 28.7%
of youth with ID enrolled in some type
of postsecondary education within 8
years after exiting high school
(Newman et al., 2011). Through recent
federal funding for Transition and
Postsecondary Programs for Students
With Intellectual Disabilities, 2,245
students accessed postsecondary
education at 57 college and university
campuses between 2010 and 2015
(Grigal, Hart, Smith, Domin, & Weir,

An Analysis of Factors That Contribute To Low Student Success and Retention i...
This study aimed at analysing the factors that contribute to low student success and retention in open
and distance learning (ODL) institutions. The Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU), Mashonaland East Regional
Centre was purposively selected for the study which adopted the case study design in order to provide a detailed
empirical investigation of the problem of retention rates in ZOU. The study employed the qualitative research
methodology. Data were gathered through focus group discussions, questionnaires and in-depth interviews to
enable data triangulation. The target population was 650 students who all took part in the survey. These were
drawn from all the four faculties of the University at the Mashonaland East Regional Centre. The study revealed
that student enrolment statistics at the ZOU - Mashonaland East Regional Centre experienced the worst decline
(40%) in 2009 between the first and second semester due to socio-economic and political challenges prevailing
in the country. The rate of decline in enrolment varied according to programmes. Also the participation of
women (44%) in distance education as compared to men (56%) at Mashonaland East Regional Centre was a
cause for concern. Financial challenges caused by low salaries and unfriendly fees policy was cited by almost
92% of the respondents as the major cause of student dropout. Institutional – related factors such as tutoring,
communication, library services and fees policy were said to be significantly contributing to student dropout.
The study made a number of recommendations among which were that ZOU needs to improve the quality and
effectiveness of student support services in the following areas: management of assignments, delivery of
tutorials, distribution of study materials, and publication of examinations. Tutorial time per module should be
increased (12 tutorial hours per module). ZOU should consider the advantages of the Block release method of
delivery as opposed to tutorials. Student queries, of whatever nature, must be addressed promptly and
effectively. It is also important for ZOU to create a billing system that will allow for some flexibility in fees
payment. An example would be allowing students to set up a payment plan. ZOU must adopt policies and
procedures that address the special needs of distance education students since distance education encompasses
a broad range of age groups.

The Relevance of Psychological Theories in Criminology
The engagement of an individual in criminal activities is often influenced by various underlying factors. As such various theories have been developed to explain the behavioral patterns of criminals and enable the criminal justice departments to operate effectively. Among the developed theories, the psychological theories are perhaps the most accurate in the field of criminology. Psychological theories are based on an interaction between biological and social-cultural factors that either promote or deter criminal behavior, (Walters, 2016). Classical theories of criminology did not account for the state of mind of criminals. As such, many criminals in the past were convicted of crimes they committed unknowingly. This has changed since the adoption of psychological theories. Both individuals as well as criminal justice officials now understand that psychological factors influence criminal behavior. Appropriate measures have been implemented to ensure that the criminal justice department treats all persons fairly by assessing underlying psychological factors. As such, psychological theories have not only promoted the work of the criminal justice department but also promoted individual awareness about underlying mental conditions that affect an individual’s behavior, (Byrne & Hummer, 2016).
Review of the Literature
1. Byrne, J., & Hummer, D. (2016). An examination of the impact of criminological theory on community corrections practice. Fed. Probation, 80, 15.
According toByrne & Hummer (2016), psychological theories have the most direct influence on probation and parole compared to other theories of criminology. The authors have comprehensively analyzed the impact of various theories used to evaluate criminal behavior. They suggest that behavior is intertwined with unconscious motives. Therefore, understanding the reasons behind a crime requires a psychological evaluation to understand the interaction of the two factors. This article is suitable for this research because it captures the relevance of psychological theories in criminology.
2. Dippong, J., & Fitch, C. (2017). Emotions in criminological theory: Insights from social psychology. Sociology Compass, 11(4), e12473.
Few formal theories have been developed to capture the role of emotional processes as facilitators or inhibitors of crime, (Dippong & Fitch, 2017). According to the authors, gaps in criminology can be filled by focusing on the underlying psychological factors of the offenders. The article highlights the effect that practices such as interrogation have on the mental state of an individual thus resulting in inaccurate findings during criminal investigations. As such, this article is a reliable source of information about the relevance of applying psychological theories in criminology. .

A comparative analysis between Korean melodrama and other local melodrama
Student name
Institution
Most studies in recent times have discovered that Korean dramas have come with a “Korean wave” in media in the global stage. Audiences have been reconceptualised due to the availability of internet and computer that have facilitated the digital revolution. Korean melodrama has earned more views than local melodrama, a result of its marketing its content without owning a means of distribution.
Korean melodrama is a representation of a product that is a hybrid of Hollywood, since Korean melodrama makes use of practices, tools, and conventions in the narrative that comes with the preoccupation of the Korean socio-political and historical aspects. The aspect of familiarity that lacks in local melodrama exists in Korean melodrama. Studies in have shown that audiences tend to respond positively to things they are familiar to and that is exactly what Korean melodrama is.
The use of genre by Korean melodrama is a huge success to its big audiences from the west, as a study by the Korean Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) back in 2015 estimated that around 19 million Americans enjoy Korean melodrama compared to five million who preferred local melodrama as they are a definition of what the world is in reality. The aspect of what is good and what is bad entangled with emotional narratives that give the audience an opportunity to select a hero or a heroine (Martin, 2019).
Korean melodrama are structured in a way that the audience can critique structures of institutional powers and explore a world with aspects of complex social issues. Korean melodrama has a vital element of their characters not being complex and this does not place a huge burden of danger or any sort of conflict in their existing world (Smith, 2017). The study also found out that Korean dramas have integrated aspects of adventures, romance and included professional fields like doctors and police, and lawyer, which are familiar genres to the audience. The structure of the Korean melodrama comes along with themes and selective iconography that make Korean melodrama suitable for global audiences.
Korean drama has earned viewers more than local dramas in the local stage given the Korean dramas depict the actual Korean culture. Most people are attracted to Korean melodrama since they are interested with the reality. A study by a Korean television found out that their supervisor had received more than five hundred emails from people who were not Korean to include English subtitles in their videos. This proves to be a massive support comparing people have less interest in their local drama. Korean drama have earned a huge fan base due to the license agreement of online streaming that was agreed by Korea (Moon, 2019). Studies have recorded that the market of Korean melodrama has around 12% of them wh.

Critical Evaluation of Four Articles On Note Taking
Critical Evaluation of Four Articles On Note Taking
Note taking is the process of recording information from another source and is an integral part of university studies. Comprehensive studies have been conducted to underline the cognitive process of note taking. This essay aims to critique four research articles pertaining to the study of note taking namely by highlighting several pros and cons of certain methodologies used, to improve future researches done on the topic of note taking.
The first article aims to examine whether the use of laptops in note taking impairs learning compared to people who were using the longhand method (Mueller & Oppenheimer, 2014). They conducted three experiments to investigate whether taking notes on a laptop versus writing longhand would affect academic performance, and to explore the potential mechanism of verbatim overlap as a proxy for the depth of processing. They used an experimental design in order to achieve a quantitative result. Using five 15 minutes TED talks lectures, the use of either laptop or longhand method for note taking as a categorical variable, and 67 participant samples from different university research subject pools, they concluded that participants using laptops were more inclined to take verbatim notes than participants using the longhand method. An overlooked procedure of this methodology is that in their first study, either one or two students were placed in an enclosed room.Mueller & Oppenheimer (2014) unknowingly made this a variable in their experiment. Additionally, typical university lectures are done in an occupied lecture hall. Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) should have had his experiments in a lecture hall with students while testing his participants, emulating an environment similar to the real world. Doing so would increase external validity without sacrificing internal validity. Participants were taken randomly from a pool of voluntary university students, which is a good representation of the larger population for their hypothesis of the experiment. Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014) did not account for how the participants usually took notes in their classes. Instructing the participants to take down notes in a medium they are not used to could have affected their implicit processing of information, affecting results. The experimenters should have divided the participants into two separate groups based on which medium they were more comfortable in using. A third control group whereby participants did not take notes would have been beneficial to this experiment, eliminating compromising factors such as selection threats (Trochim, 2006).
The next article alleviates most of the previously stated concerns. This experiment was conducted to determine whether students’ note-taking and online chatting can influence their recalls of lecture content and note quality (Wei , Wang .

Critique of Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Method Design
Both quantitative and qualitative methods play a pivotal role in nursing research. Qualitative research helps nurses and other healthcare workers to understand the experiences of the patients on health and illness. Quantitative data allows researchers to use an accurate approach in data collection and analysis. When using quantitative techniques, data can be analyzed using either descriptive statistics or inferential statistics which allows the researchers to derive important facts like demographics, preference trends, and differences between the groups. The paper comprehensively critiques quantitative and quantitative techniques of research. Furthermore, the author will also give reasons as to why qualitative methods should be regarded as scientific.
The overall value of quantitative and Qualitative Research
Quantitative studies allow the researchers to present data in terms of numbers. Since data is in numeric form, researchers can apply statistical techniques in analyzing it. These include descriptive statistics like mean, mode, median, standard deviation and inferential statistics such as ANOVA, t-tests, correlation and regression analysis. Statistical analysis allows us to derive important facts from data such as preference trends, demographics, and differences between groups. For instance, by conducting a mixed methods study to determine the feeding experiences of infants among teen mothers in North Carolina, Tucker and colleagues were able to compare breastfeeding trends among various population groups. The multiple groups compared were likely to initiate breastfeeding as follows: Hispanic teens 89%, Black American teens 41%, and White teens 52% (Tucker et al., 2011).
The high strength of quantitative analysis lies in providing data that is descriptive. The descriptive statistics helps us to capture a snapshot of the population. When analyzed appropriate, the descriptive data enables us to make general conclusions concerning the population. For instance, through detailed data analysis, Tucker and co-researchers were able to observe that there were a large number of adolescents who ceased breastfeeding within the first month drawing the need for nurses to conduct individualized follow-ups the early days after hospital discharge. These follow-ups would significantly assist in addressing the conventional technical problems and offer support in managing back to school transition (Tucker et al., 2011).
Qualitative research allows researchers to determine the client’s perspective on healthcare. It enables researchers to observe certain behaviors and experiences amo.

Peer-Reviewed Article Analysis
Technology has evolved over the years in various sectors, with new technological innovations being developed. One of the areas that has witnessed great applications of technological evolution is in the detection and prevention of crime. This article will analyze the various technologies that are used to prevent and detect crime.
Byrne and Marx (2011) in their article reviews the topic in detail and gives insight in the role of technology in combating crime.
The key data that will be used in this research is secondary data from various peer-reviewed sources that review the topic of Crime Analysis Technology from various perspectives. Byrne and Marx (2011) presents various data on crime and the use of Information Technology in crime detection and prevention. For instance, it highlights that the percentage of schools in the United States that deploy metal detectors is approximately 2%. The article also approximates that as of 2006, one million CCTV cameras had been deployed in the United States, although the article does not provide current estimates on the same.
The article plays a great role in my final research. It gives a highlight of the various technological applications for crime prevention and detection. This can provide a background for further research, especially the technological innovations that are currently being developed. The article also presents figures about various elements of technology in crime prevention and detection such as the number of CCTV cameras, the crime rates such as the registered sex offenders, among others. Projections can therefore be made to the future.
The article mentions several significant facts. First, it classifies technological innovations in criminal justice as hard technology versus soft technology. Hard technology innovations include hardware and materials while soft technology innovations include information systems and computer software. Examples of hard technology is the CCTV cameras, metal detectors, and security systems at homes and schools. Examples of soft technology include predictive policing technology, crime analysis techniques, software, and data sharing techniques, among others. Both of the two categories of technological innovations are important in criminal justice. Another fact is the new technology of policing. The article identifies hard policing technological tools such as non-lethal weaponry and technologies for officer safety. It highlights soft policing technologies such as data-driven policies in policing and information sharing. Another important fact that the article mentions is the issues that should be con.

Introduction
The purpose of a flowchart is to graphically present information in a logical pattern according to whatis.com (2018), usually showing the progression within a process from beginning to end. This flowchart will illustrate the pattern of progression in the criminal justice systems of Canada and India. In most countries policing, the courts, and the correctional systems are interdependent in this relationship, the police are the first step and the other steps follow in a logical progression. The purpose of mapping the steps of these countries criminal justice systems is to give visual context to this progression.
Criminal Justice of Canada
Police
Canada’s criminal justice system is not that different from other systems from around the world. The Canadian system comprised of the police who investigate crimes, collects evidence, and apprehend suspects for trial in the court system. Canada’s policing uses a decentralized multiple coordination model. In Canada, the federal government is constitutionally responsible for legislating in all areas that relate to criminal matters Braiden (2006), but legislating police activity is the responsibility of the provinces.
Each province has passed a Police Act to meet their responsibilities. Police forces in Canada deal with all types of crimes, from Crimes against Persons to Crimes Against Property according to the Canadian Department of Justice (2017). The crime being investigated will dictate the course of the investigation that will follow. To satisfy their role in the criminal justice flowchart the police must collect evidence and this evidence will be used at trial.
The gathering and preserving of evidence according to rules established within the Police Act and federal legislation spelled out in the Canadian Constitution Canadian Department of Justice (2017). Once an investigation occurs with the collection of evidence, and this evidence obtained through interviews and legally issued search warrants the police will develop a most likely and viable suspect and the police will request an arrest warrant for the suspect spelling out who they are looking to arrest and for what crime they wish to arrest them for.
Courts
The arrest is one of the final steps for the police in this matter and the beginning of the court process. The first step in this process is to put the person in custody into a holding cell usually at a detention center, the person is typically seen by a judge or a justice of the peace as soon as possible, this is usually done in twenty-four hours according to the Canadian Department of Justice (2017). At this point, the judge determines a pre-trial date in some cases will release the party on bail.
A bail hearing allows the prosecution to present evidence in hopes to keep the accused in custody. In the Canadian system, the state has all the expense of investigatio.

Founded in 2001, Global Inc. is one of the leading manufacturers of consumer electronics such as personal computers, smartphones, and household appliances among other products. As a limited liability company members are not liable for the organization’s liabilities or debts (Deering & Murphy, 2003). It has experienced growth currently with approximately 13, 500 workers and an annual revenue of $14 billion as of December 2017. Smartphones and personal computers form its major source of revenue which currently comprises 45% of all the revenues. Starting 2009, the company expanded to the international market and has since experienced a growing revenue due to the expanding market share. More so, due to benefits such as cheap and readily available labor, the organization moved some of its manufacturing processes to Indonesia, Bhutan and Hong Kong which has greatly impacted the operational cost enabling it to provide goods at competitive prices.
In 2016, the company faced issues related to labor management as it was established that some of its suppliers employ underage workers and also utilizes bonded labor. It has been an ethical issue faced by the organization whether it should cut ties with the suppliers and find other suppliers. The company did not have any policies that controlled labor management practices by the suppliers hence it was not likely for the organization to act with speed. On the other hand, in the established manufacturing plants in Asian countries, it emerged that some workers received wages lower than the minimum wages in the said countries. These have been the two major issues that have recently tarnished the organization’s public image. However, it has put efforts to turn around the situation and regain its previous public image.

Thesis Statement:
Criminal background checks help in determining a new employee’s behavior on the job, aids in identifying illegal immigration or harbored a fugitives, and acts as a societal norm.
Determining the behaviors of a new employee
One-way Criminal background checks helps employers is through acting as a guide in determining employee behavior before joining their task force. The character of an employee is a factor that should be considered before the employee is offered an opportunity to work for any organisation (Harris & Keller, 2005).
Hiring a criminal puts the security of the customers and employees at risk. Without past information about an employee, an organization is likely to employ a criminal. In this respect, a background check comes in place to make sure that the potential employee has no tarnished background.
Aids in illegal immigration or harboring a fugitive
Criminal background checks can also aid identifying illegal immigrants or harbored fugitives in workplaces. In the modern day, illegal immigration has become a norm in the society. Considering that the illegal immigrants are not citizens of the country, it is evident that any person cannot access their records. A criminal background check does not only help to know the previous criminal engagement activities of a person, but it also helps to know if a person is in the country's system or not.
Acts as a societal norm
Criminal background checks act as a social norm which can help in a nation’s economic growth. The productivity of its citizens dictates the economy of any nation. Ethics and productivity go hand in hand. When one is involved in criminal activities, it is evident that the level of his or her productivity can be questioned (Blumstein & Nakamura, 2009). It has become a norm for the society to try and look if one is associated with shady dealings in the past. The norm has been essential in two different ways. The first way is associated with the aspect of making sure that the people who are engaged in business activities are people with a good reputation and trustworthy (Harris & Keller, 2005). The second way is associated with the influence that the background check has on the members of the society. Most members of the society try as much as they can to avoid engaging in criminal activities because such can affect their future and that promotes a norm of avoiding and staying away from crime.

CRIME ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGY 2
Crime analysis is a function that usually involves the systemic analysis in identifying as well as analyzing the crime patterns and trends. Crime analysis is very important for law enforcement agencies as it helps law enforcers effectively deploy the available resources in a better and effective manner, which enables them to identify and apprehend suspects. Crime analysis is also very significant when it comes to arriving at solutions devised to come up with the right solution to solve the current crime problem and issues as well as coming up with the right prevention strategies. Since the year 2014, crime rates in the USA have increased steadily as per a study done by USAFacts, which is a non-partisan initiative (Osborne & Wernicke, 2013). With this increase in crime rates, which has majorly resulted in massive growth in technology, it is essential to come up with better means and ways of dealing with the increased crime rates. With the current advancement in technology, better law enforcement tools developed, which has enabled better crime deterrence in better and efficient ways. All this has been facilitated by the efforts of crime analysts who have come up with better tools and thus enabling the law enforcers to better deal with the crimes (Osborne & Wernicke, 2013). In this paper, I will consider the application of crime analysis technology and techniques in fighting crimes. Application of crime analysis technology and techniques used to make crime analysis more accurate and efficient.
Currently, the two technological tools that are used in predictive policing software have enabled security agencies to effectively use predictive policing ("Crime Analysis: Fighting Crime with Data," 2017). Application of this software has enabled better crime prevention as with data obtained in the previous crimes have been used to predict possible future severe crimes in a specific area.
Through the adoption and use of crime analysis, law enforcement agencies have been able to fight against crimes as when compared with the past effectively. The use of crime analysis comes at the right time, where there has been an increase in crime rates in the current digital error. In a survey done by Wynyard group in 2015, the study revealed that for every 10 law enforcement officials 9 of them believe that the use of current technology in crime analysis has had positive effects in helping the agencies in solving crimes as they can identify essential links and trends in crimes ("Crime Analysis: Fighting Crime with Data," 2017). In the same way, other sectors have benefited from data analysis with spreadsheets, databases, and mapping, law enforcers have been able to use data analysis to come up with a better decision.

CRIMINOLOGY USE OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS 2
In the wake of technological advances, the use of computers has played a major role especially in criminal justice (Moriarty, (2017). This paper has focused on the use of computer application technologies in criminology and the potential it has in legal systems. From enabling easy access for witnesses to search for accused peoples’ photographs on the screen and go through the whole court procedural activities. Moreover, criminals’ records can be monitored using databases and it is easy to make a follow-up on crimes they have committed in the past and the charges against them. Forensics can also be conducted and investigations can now be carried out easily and very fast. Also, when one is linked to cases, they can be easily identified using forensics and fingerprints. Portable laptops have also helped police officers in getting information and any important details related to a crime at any place without having to go back to their working stations. James (2017), argues that unlike in the past, investigations are done faster due to internet connections and ease of communication between community members and investigative officers through the use of phone gadgets.
Computers have broad variance in usage which has been enhanced by computer applications. For instance, massive record keeping systems have relied for reference on criminal accounts, case records and unresolved warranties. Incorporation of technology in criminology has just made the career easy and also improved livelihoods. Many police units now use computerized applications to keep up with the ever-rising crimes. There are different applications being used nowadays, from mobile technology, to use in-car computers, CCTV camera installations and also software such as the Computer Aided Dispatch. Investigators often use programmed record management systems to monitor information they obtain and guard it properly. With the current technology, it is possible to detect impending crimes, track stolen goods and the culprits, tell which time a crime occurred and also who committed it and where.
Computer applications:
1. In-Car Computer installations in police cars.
Blumstein (2018), contends that this application that allows traffic patrol police to effectively carry out their activities especially when vehicles violate traffic rules. In the current world, things are drifting toward being more computerized than handwritten (Maxfield & Babbie, 2014). Thus event arrest reports are being typed. It also means that after traffic references are written down, they are generated by the computers installed duplicating a copy to the person who breaks the rules. This is seen to reduce paperwork and improve the efficiency of police officers' work.
2. Computer Aided Dispatch

Critical Analysis of the Whistleblower incentives and protection: Are a way of applying investment banking incentives to control management unethical and illegal practices
Introduction
Whistleblower incentives and protection refers to the monetary reward as well as protection which the United States Government offers to the individuals who exposes certain wrongdoings in the community more especially in government institutions. The Federal law requires the government to reward the whistleblowers a certain percentage of money that is recovered following their tips of exposing the wrongdoing acts. This percentage may go up to 30 percent of the total recovered money. In this paper, I will critically analyze whether Whistleblower Incentives and Protection are ways of applying investment banking incentives to control management unethical and illegal practices. And maybe are the whistleblowers rewarded accordingly in terms of security and money.
Problem Statement
What happened?? This is not anything like what was approved or what was in the white paper. Follow the instructions and make a paragraph out of the bullet outline problem
The Problem statement, which will be addressed in this paper, is that, whistle blowers are not given adequate incentives and protection resulting in the difficulty of reporting wrongdoing, misconduct and unethical behaviors. According to Andon, et al., (2018), Lack of whistle blower incentives and protection makes it difficult for whistle blowers to report wrongdoing, as they feel insecure. “The current whistle blowing system is not effective and therefore does not provide the basis for investigation of corruption cases and any misconduct within a company (Ballan, 2017). In support of Ballan’s views on the whistle blowing system, Keith, Todd & Oliver, (2016) indicated that the managers aren’t empowered to sanction employees involved in unethical behaviors because of lack of whistle blower incentives which are reinforced by the Federal laws.
Specifically, failure of finance department to offer adequate whistleblowers incentives as well as protection within the investment – banking sector in the United States. As per Keith, Todd & Oliver, (2016), in their recent research, they recommended that the finance department in any organization is a very critical area that can determine the overall performance of an organization. Failure to provide whistleblower incentives and protection to finance staff makes it difficult for them to report unethical behaviors.

Conceptual Framework
The theoretical basis that led to the research was an increased number of injuries resulting from pressure ulcers, and this led to the need for having a study to find the ways that were effective for preventing such occurrences.
The theoretical framework that led to this study was that pressure ulcers have become a major challenge and a challenging goal when it came to providing healthcare for pressure ulcer patients. Therefore, it led to the need to have a study that could deal with the challenge.
The theoretical framework that necessitated this research was the incidence of pressure ulcers that were increasing because of the poor and aging population as well as the elderly that were living with incidences of disability.
Pressure ulcers were highly associated with significant mortality and morbidity and high costs of healthcare services, and this led to the need for a study to review the situation.

Introduction
Plato’s allegory of the cave is a notion about human perception. Plato argued that knowledge acquired through the senses is just an opinion but for one to acquire knowledge then it must be through philosophical cognitive. Plato gives an analogy of the prisoners tied to some rocks in a cave since they were born. They cannot see anything except shadows of objects carried by people walking in the walkway. Since the prisoners had not seen the real objects ever since they were born, they believe that these shadows are real. Fortunately, one prison escapes from the cave and meets the real world and recognizes that his perception of reality was mistaken. He goes back to the cave and informs the other prisoners what he found. Unfortunately, they don’t believe him (Alam 5).
Overview of Gogol’s Overcoat and Lahiri’s Namesake
The overcoat is a story written by Nikolai Gogol about Akaky Akakievich, an underprivileged government clerk in Russia. Though he is devoted to his work, his hard work goes unrecognized by his colleagues who joke about his overcoat. When his overcoat is worn out he decides to get it fixed but his tailor advises him to get a new one because the old one was beyond repair. His tailor finally makes a new coat for Akaky which makes his colleagues celebrate him by throwing a party for him. His coat does not last long because it is stolen and Akaky’s efforts to get it back do not bear fruit. He dies of fever (Yilmaz 195).
Namesake is a story about Indian immigrants who settle in the US. Soon after, they get a baby boy who is given a temporal pet name by his father: Gogol. When he starts kindergarten Gogol is given his good name, Nikhil, which he rejects and clings to his pet name. But when he grows up Gogol knows the meaning of his name and starts to despise it. At the age of eighteen, he changes his legal name to Nikhil. He becomes acculturated and adopts the American way of life. That way he feels comfortable around his friends and especially the girlfriend. It was after his father’s death that he knew the true meaning of his name and changed it again to Gogol (Jaya 158).
The relevance of Plato’s Allegory of the cave on Gogol’s ‘Overcoat’ and Lahiri’s ‘Namesake’
The most significant insinuation of these stories is how the two main characters change their identity. Both of them were not named after they were born. Coincidentally, their fathers picked their names for them. As the writers of these two stories put it, these two characters could not be given any other names. These two characters are comfortable with their identities just like the prisoners in the cave (Ledbetter 130).
Akaky is afraid of changing his old ways of doing things. He was seen in the same position and place with the same uniform, his overcoat, and this made his supervisors believe that he was born as a r.

As far as the definition to my words is concerned, metacommunication can be defined as all nonverbal cues experienced by different people. Some of the metacommunications experienced by people include; tone of voice, gestures, facial expression and body language. On matters related to the facial expression, it can be used to show the feelings of the people involved in an incident. However, different people should be encouraged to understand the use of the metacommunication in ensuring that the society is able to operate in an effective manner. Again, gestures can be used in ensuring that communication is enhanced amongst different people. The use of gestures plays important roles in ensuring that different ideas are shared in the best way possible (Hazari, 2019).
On the other hand, evaluative communication can be used for the purposes of causing defensiveness by ensuring that judgment is passed. It is through that whereby majority of the people are enabled to focus on the problem experienced hence making it easy for the right solution to be found. The ability of people to focus on the problem can be used in ensuring that the required solution is identified therefore reducing the issues experienced by the people. However, majority of people should be encouraged to engage in evaluative communication for the purposes of ensuring that the solution to the issues experienced is found (Ma, 2020).

My first term I chose is matrilocal family. However, matrilocal family is a family whereby the husband goes to live with the family of the wife. This is a culture which allows the man to move to live with the mother and the father in law. As a result, the man is required to change his social life their living according to the cultures of the parents in law (Brown, 2020).
As far as the episode is concerned, the man had to go and hence live with the female’s family. It is through that whereby the man was required to change his lifestyle and hence adapt the live from the female’s family. Moreover, when not controlled, matrilocal family might end up bringing about conflicts amongst the people and their care has to be taken so as to ensure that the cases of misunderstanding are not experienced.

Introduction
In this paper, I will argue that “Intimate Partner” is used to represent any inclusive romantic or sexual relationship between two non-biologically-related people. Ideally, these kinds of relationships show lots of love and support for each other. Unfortunately, some people do not act like the ideal condition and abuse their partners cause considerable emotional or physical pain and injury (Belknap, Chu, & Deprince, 2012). Sometimes abusing behavior brings violence and makes the worse situation ever. Different type of abuses such as emotional abuse, economic abuse, social isolation, physical abuses takes place in case of creating intimate partner violence. Sometimes some people start to stalk their partners with generating a different motive such as anger, hostility, paranoia, and delusion towards their partners (Belknap, Chu, & Deprince, 2012). One partner verbally threats his/her partner through using emails, text messaging, and social network Internet sites. In 2012, 4th February, a 21-year-old California boyfriend had bound legs of his girlfriend with tape and threatened her with pointing a gun towards her and beaten her, and kept her for nine days. This situation occurred as the girl received a text message from another man on her cellphone (Belknap, Chu, & Deprince, 2012). It is clear that technology can lead to intimate partner abuse. In this paper, I will argue that technology in terms of electronic devices can be used as the trigger for more intimate partner violent abuse. Comment by Sarah McMahon: I would suggest having someone review your writing to help improve your ability to convey your ideas. Comment by Sarah McMahon: I am wondering what this means- different from what? From IPV? It seems to me that it is a similar motive so I am unclear. Comment by Sarah McMahon: The purpose of this assignment is: “Develop an argument that compares these types of violence in a specific way(s), such as the root causes, the impact on victims, society's perception of the crime, or our response to the crime. How are they similar or different?” I am not sure your thesis answers that question?
Causes and Impact of Intimate Partner Violence and Stalking and Electronic Abuse
These days, out of ten women, one lady murdered or badly injured by her intimate partner. Life threatening matters are the most common factor which can create physical violence among intimate partners. Comment by Sarah McMahon: This is not a full sentence. I would suggest having someone proofread your paper as I suggested last time. Comment by Sarah McMahon: I am unclear on what this means. What are the life-threatening matters and what is the most common factor that causes physical violence? If you are talking about the causes of IPV .

Counselor Ethics and Responsibilities
To be a successful counselor and abide within the ethical and legal guidelines, counselors must take into consideration what is involved in providing sound and ethical judgements. Being a counselor should not be taken lightly, someone is trusting us to provide them with the best care possible and assist in finding solutions that will possibly work for the betterment of their livelihood. Counselors must ensure that their clients confidentiality will not be misused and counselor’s guarantee that appropriate measures are in place to provide a professional, safe, nonjudgmental environment.
Client Rights
Principles of Ethical Practice
There are five key principles of ethical practices, and Davis and Miller (2014), references Kitchener (2000) models on the following five principles:
a.) Autonomy addresses the concept of independence. Counselors should make sure they are not pushing their own values and beliefs onto clients, but rather encourage them to make their own decisions and act within their values. He/She would ensure clients fully understand how their differences may affect others whether positive or negative. He/She would also ensure they are competent to understand the choices they are making are theirs without any other influences. Clients who are children or persons with mental limitations, he/she need to make sure they have a well-informed, competent adult making decisions in their best interest.
b.) Nonmaleficence is the concept of not causing harm to others. Professionals should ensure clients are positively engaged during sessions and are not misconstruing information given to them.
c.) Beneficence shows the responsibility of the counselor contributing to the safety of the client. Incorporate positive outlooks and thinking in sessions. Periodically asking clients about their feelings, depending on the circumstances to make sure they have no intentions on harming themselves and be proactive when necessary.
d.) Justice in counseling means “treating equals equally and unequals unequally” (Davis & Walker, 2016). If I am providing services to two clients who are depressed. One is depressed and suicidal and the other client is not, more attention would be devoted to the client who is suicidal, and the proper steps would be taken to ensure the client does no harm to himself.
e.) Fidelity includes being, loyal, faithful and committed. Maintaining and having trust within the client-counselor relationship is crucial to successful progress, once that trust is broken, the client may leave and seek treatment elsewhere, or worse harm themselves or others. Clients need to be able to talk to about their feelings no matter how bad they think their situation is.

Company Culture and Communication Obstacle
Northwest Valley Community College has a culture of providing the best learning environment to its students and ensuring that school staff communicate effectively without experiencing unauthorized access to their data and information. Also, its culture is ingrained in ensuring its students are working in an environment that is healthy and safe. The management of Northwest Community understands the importance of having a healthy learning environment and effective communication network inside and outside the school premises. As such, Kelsey Elementary school is setting up measures to implement a detailed communication training plan for staff and students to gain information safety skills.
This plan will be developed by a strategic communication team selected by the school. This plan will be designed in a way that it provides a framework to manage and coordinate communication among the students, instructors and parents. The plan will identify efficient communication channels, standards, appropriate audience, and frequency. This plan will require a shared responsibility among management, students, communication team and students. After the implementation of this communication plan, the team will measure its effectiveness to ensure it meets the expected objectives and goals.
Needs and Tasks Analysis
Northwest Valley Community Collwgw communication team will conduct a needs and analysis task to determine the training needs. The management will be able to know who needs the training and the kind of training required. The following are the steps the company will use to conduct training needs analysis.
· Organizational Analysis: The school management should work with the teachers to identify the priorities of student training. In this case, the management will conduct an evaluation to ensure the training goes hand-in-hand with the school’s goals and objectives.
· Secondly, the management will list specific types of communication channels to be utilized within the school environment. Also, they will specify the skills and competencies needed by employees to ensure they clearly understand how to utilize these communication channels. By doing this, they will have a solid foundation on who should conduct the training and how it should be conducted. (Liaw, 2014)
· The last step will involve the identification of staff members who need to undergo communication training. However, since it is a learning institution, every staff member and students will be subject to training.
Research Technique
Northwest Valley management has decided to implement an external training program to address the training plan. Therefore, they need to identify and understand the organization’s communication training needs. As such, they should start by hiring an e.

Abstract
The homeless population in communities across the United States is vulnerable to physical and mental illnesses, largely due to a lack of medical treatment resources and harsh environmental conditions. Rehabilitation centers and programs aimed at closing the gap between this population’s lack of resources and medical needs can help address many of the problems this population faces. Social programs aimed at reducing homelessness or intervening in the lives of homeless populations do not necessarily extend beyond providing food, shelter, and a means to economically transition from being homeless to being a non-homeless member of society. Mental illness is one of the barriers to economic sustainability and sustenance that have been recorded in this population. The aim of the proposed program is to offer a means of treatment for this population, using a sample size of 20. Another vital aim of the program is to examine the correlation between the homeless population, their environmental circumstances, and mental illness. It is the program leaders’ hope that the program’s analyzation of the data will lead to new intervention, treatment methods, and deep understanding of how mental illness plays a role in homelessness.
Keywords: homelessness, mental illness, intervention treatments

To Whom It May Concern,
An estimated 500,000 individuals are homeless in our community and are at risk of developing serious, uncontrollable health issues (Rogers, 2018). Our grant proposal’s main objective is to improve the well-being of the homeless population within our community. Besides physical ailments and diseases that may impact the homeless population, mental health issues and challenges will need to be addressed as part of this proposal. Specifically, our project seeks to reduce the prevalence of drug addiction and substance abuse amongst the homeless.
Utilizing a case study research design, our project will aim to analyze data pertaining to the relationship(s) between our community’s homeless population and drug addiction/substance abuse. A sample size of 20 will be selected from the Homeless Health Education Group. The projected timeline for the project is three years. It will focus on providing psychiatric intervention, reduce health problems, and provide mental health care. A rehabilitation center will be established to meet these objectives. Technology assets will be necessary to enhance efficiency and collect data reports from the 20 members of the sample population (Gitilin & Lyons, 2014; Marchewka, 2014).
Management and oversight will need to be incorporated into the proposal to ensure the project achieves its mission (Burke, 2013). The project’s projected budget expenditures total $1.638 million and its projected revenues total approx.

- 1. Running head: DRAFT OF DATA PRESENTATION 1 DATA PRESENTATION 3 HEA 530 Milestone 2: Draft of Data Presentation Sharon Riley-Ordu Southern New Hampshire University June 30, 2019 Data Presentation, Analysis and Discussion Interviews with Office of Alumni Affairs Staff In order to prepare for the presentation of data and decide on data sources to be used for evaluation, interviews were conducted with The Director, Associate Director, and Supervisor of Student Interns. Key information was gleaned from each interview which will be briefly discussion. The first interview was with Tom Fitzgerald, Director. According to Tom, the overall goal is to improve the pledge rate at Binchley College by 6%. He shared there is an overall decline in contributions. Because these contributions are used to fund special programs, especially related to the college marine ecology and Native American studies degrees, it is critical that they increase. In this interview we discussed the biggest decline in contributions was from the alumni donors aged 55 and over. I asked the Director what he thought this decline could be attributed to. He provided several different possible explanations such as death, fixed income retirement, illness and
- 2. that people in this age group may be helping children and grandchildren. My next interview was with the Associate Director. We discussed a slight increase in last two years in the donations from middle-aged and younger alumni, especially graduates of the Native American program. The percentages of graduates from the program have increased, but that can’t be the only explanation for the improvement. She shared information about a small pilot program designed especially for graduates of the Native American program, and promising results. They were invited back for a long weekend to participate in current excavation projects and research associated with it. It has been a great social event and resulted in generating income from the tuition along with the participants donating to the college while at the event and again when the Office of Alumni Affairs solicits donations for specific needs of the research projects throughout the year. The third and final interview was with the Student Intern Supervisor. Each of the individuals interviewed are graduates of Binchley College, so they clearly have a stake in making sure the college remains successful. The Student Intern Supervisor, Shelley, is a graduate with a major in Native American Studies. She worked on the pilot program with the Associate Director, Jesse which was mentioned earlier. In this interview, we talked further about the increases in donations from Native American Alumni. A key question was asked: Do you know if a survey of the alumni of the Native American program has been conducted to measure the effect of the blog and other forms of communication you’ve used has had on their willingness to donate? Shelley replied that they have not conducted a survey. Data Collection and Possible Sources These interviews provided important information related to possible sources for data collection for this program evaluation. Looking at the current state of affairs, the pledge fulfillment rate is 4%. Some key data sources I would look at to increase the pledge rate for Binchley College: 1) Review current and
- 3. past donor data, 2) Look at the methods of giving such as via the website, social media, at on-site fundraising events, etc. 3) Review results of donor surveys, 4) Review alumni giving at other institutions of similar size and demographic as Binchley College to determine effective strategies being used, 5) Determine shifts and trends in foundation giving, corporate giving, alumni giving, employee giving, and other sources of donations, and 5) look at data related to outreach, marketing, and current methods used to secure donors. Loveday (2012) conducted a study and found that more than a quarter of the faculty and nearly a quarter of administrators donated back to the university, as there were significant relationships shown among positions of staff, faculty, and administrators and donor or nondonor status of employees. Faculty had the highest percentage of giving at 27.5%, followed by 22.8% of administrators giving back to the university. Only 4% of staff gave back to the university. In addition, male employees, like male alumni, gave back to the university at a higher percentage than female employees or alumnae. Further, colleges and universities should encourage students to join organizations and participate in activities because students who were engaged during their college/university years were more likely to give back after graduation. Data Presentation Data is being presented by year for years 2011, 2012 and 2013. The pledges made and pledges fulfill for each year based on stakeholder group are provided in each table. 2011 Pledge & Fulfillment at Binchley College Table 1 Stakeholder Pledges Fulfilled Faculty 18% 82% Staff

- 9. Data Presentation for Binchley College’s Office of Alumni Affairs Binchley College’s Office of Alumni Affairs has set several program goals for the current budget year—one of them being to increase overall pledge fulfillment rates by 4 percent. However, in an interview with the Director of the Office of Alumni Affairs, Tom Fitzgerald, contribution rates of pledges have been declining among alumni who are over 55 years old. This demographic has been the target population for the office to request contributions from until recently. Data Collection Process Tom Fitzgerald stated that the declining pledge rates among alumni who are over the age of 55 may be a result of alumni who have passed away, been living on fixed incomes, have been struggling with illnesses, or have been helping their own

Jesse “White Feather” Williams, associate director of the office of alumni affairs, stated that there is a new pilot program designed specifically for graduates of the Native American studies program. Since the program began two years, donations from middle-aged and younger alumni have slightly increased. The program consists of a weekend retreat for alumni and current students to work on excavation projects, along with alumni participating in research projects throughout the year. The alumni are then able to interact with the students and alumni office via a blog where they can view pictures of current projects, ask questions, and find other ways to be involved with the office. This is important to note as Williams stated that alumni have donated during the weekend retreat and throughout the year as requests are made from the alumni office when funds are needed for additional research projects. Summary and Display Appendix A, Table 1 highlights the declining pledge and fulfillment rates compared to other age groups of alumni and personnel on campus who made contributions to the office of alumni affairs between 2011 and 2013. In 2011, leadership had the highest pledge rate of 96.7 percent with 100 percent of those pledges being fulfilled. Alumni over the age of 55 had the second highest pledge rate at 29.1 percent and 88.8 percent of those pledges were fulfilled. Staff had a 23.4 percent pledge rate and an 86.1 percent fulfillment rate; alumni between 30 and 55 years old had a 22.8 percent pledge rate and a 63.5 percent fulfillment rate; faculty had a 18.3 percent pledge rate with an 82.2 percent fulfillment rate; and alumni under 30 years old had the lowest pledge rate with 12.2 percent and 52.8 percent were fulfilled. This shows that leadership at Binchley College and alumni over the age of 55 contributed the most to the college during this year.
- 11. By 2012, pledges and fulfillment rates for faculty, staff, and alumni over the age of 55 decreased (see appendix A). Pledges and fulfillment rates for leadership, alumni under 30 years old, and alumni between the ages of 30 and 55 increased. This year would indicate the start of the pilot program, thus showing increased interest among recent graduates and alumni who took part in this collaboration with the alumni office. By 2013, pledge and fulfillment rates decreased for faculty, staff, leadership, and alumni over the age of 55 (see appendix A). The rates for alumni under the age of 30 and between the ages of 30 and 55 continued to increase this budget year concurrently with the pilot program entering its second year. Shelley Braxton, student intern supervisor, stated that there has not been a survey to measure the effectiveness of the blog and pilot program in relation to alumni donations. However, Figure 1 highlights the gradual increase in pledges among alumni under 30 years old and between the ages of 30 and 55. Even though pledges for these two demographic sets only increased 2 to 3 percent each year, fulfillment rates increased drastically by more than 10 percent in 2012 and another 2 percent in 2013. For alumni over the age of 55 there was a steady decline in pledges and fulfillment rates for all three years. Despite not having a survey to measure feedback and contribution rates among alumni, the new pilot program that the office of alumni affairs created has helped to target a new population that was overlooked before. The pilot program has the advantage of working with recently graduated alumni, for example, by being able to market and increase interest in the program to current students as a new way to be involved on campus post-graduation. It may be a few more years before the office can gain the same amount of contributions as they had received from alumni over the age of 55. However, these results show that there is a growing interest among alumni under 30 and between the ages of 30 and 55 to be a part of the alumni network and make contributions toward research or future pilot

However, lately, there has been a fall in contribution causing a major concern how these programs will fund with donors aged over 55 pledges have decreasing at a higher margin over the last two years. This evaluation was aimed to make a recommendation on how to improve the overall pledge fulfillment by 6%. At a formal meeting, the following stakeholders are identified to help in the process; the director of the Office of Alumni affairs, associate director and a student intern supervisor. This evaluation mainly used existing data from previous years to determine how the trends in donations from all the groups involved. There were a decrease in the percentage of alumni (0ver 55) pledges in 2011 from 29.1% to 16.3 % in 2013. There has been a slight increase in the donation of middle-aged and younger alumni. These records were readily available with in- depth information on the pledges, goals, and fulfillment rate of the pledges made. The chosen stakeholders were interviewed to provide clarification on the data. Interviews were preferred to obtain detailed information about personal perception. It was a preferred method to justify the trends on the pledges. The ease of a donor’s access was the information needed for this evaluation. Quantitative analysis method will be used to analyze the data. There have been changes in all the involved categories. Alumni under 30 fulfillment rate change from 52. 8% in 2011 to 67.4% in 2013, showing an increase in their contributions while those in the range of 30-35 increase their fulfillment rate from 63.5% in 2011 to 77.8% in 2013. Leadership category reduced its fulfillment rate from 100% to 89.6% in 2013. The staff changes are slight, with the faculty fulfillment rate varying from time to time. The first chart shows changes in pledges rate from 2011 to 2013. The second chart the change in fulfillment rate from the year 2011 to 2013. The third chart shows the current results vs. the planned results.
