This document outlines a rubric for assessing learning outcomes in a Bachelor of Psychology program. It evaluates students' competencies in several core areas, including critical thinking, information literacy, research methods, communication skills, ethics, and diversity. For each competency, students are rated on a scale of limited exposure, moderate exposure, significant exposure, or extensive exposure based on descriptions of the knowledge and skills demonstrated.
The extended essay (EE) is a mandatory core component of the IB Diploma Programme. It is a research paper of up to 4,000 words giving students an opportunity to conduct independent research or investigation on a topic that interests them. Like the theory of knowledge (TOK) essay, TOK presentation, and participation in creativity, action, service activities, submitting an extended essay is a prerequisite for award of the Diploma.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

you by Caroline Kepnes
Here are the teachers instructions:
Essay
Your first research essay should be a fully completed work of 5 pages. Your topic may be related to the development of any idea that has already been expressed as part of the course; your thesis should be a synthesis of carefully documented research and critical analysis of this topic. The essay should incorporate the general parts of an academic essay—an introduction and thesis, a body of specific evidence/support/analysis, and a conclusion that emphasizes the answers to questions you may have asked within your research.
Your writing should address the Core Learning Outcomes of the course and the Instructor Specific Learning Outcomes, as specified on the syllabus. I have included them here for your convenience:
Analyze the disciplinary content in its own context and in relationship to the issues, questions, and positions of other disciplines.
Compare and contrast differences and similarities among the disciplines in terms of central concerns, values, methodologies, and relationships to public life.
Synthesize diverse perspectives to achieve an interdisciplinary understanding.
Analyze the relationships among academic knowledge, professional work, and the responsibilities of local and global citizenship.
Interpret and critique the possible “real world” connections or behaviors associated with the viewing or playing of media violence.
Instructor Learning Outcomes
Identify, discuss and critique the representations of serial killers as heroes, celebrities, and icons in modern media forms. Explain the characteristics of the media forms, genres, and methods for each subject.
Describe and analyze the popular culture forms that encourage audience identification or participation through violence or vicarious experience.
Evaluate multiple perspectives, modes of inquiry and expression, and processes for decision-making in the disciplines.
Specifics
Your essay should conform to the MLA format for citations within the text and in your works cited. Therefore, your writing should be double-spaced, with one-inch margins, in a 10-12-pitch font. The grading of this essay will be based upon the objective skills we have focused upon in our course lectures and discussions—incorporating your research sources seamlessly within your own writing, building upon your skills as a “close-reading” expert and analysis of your topic, and answering the larger questions about “why” we are studying serial killers as heroes (as well as, “why” your topic is popular? important? significant? worthy of study? definitive of its audience?)
Resources

English 102 Research WritingResearch Paper AssignmentPurpose .docxkhanpaulita
English 102: Research WritingResearch Paper Assignment
Purpose: This assignment will help you develop the research and writing skills required for organized, clear, and evidence-based argument to convince a skeptical audience within your field. You will use these skills in your future college courses and anytime you are making a case to a skeptical audience. Beyond that, you will also use the research skills whenever you are faced with a life decision when the questions are particularly important: Which medical treatment should I choose? Who should I vote for? Which colleges should I consider transferring to? How should I parent my children? What food should I consume? How much should I exercise? What is the deeper meaning behind the art, music, or TV I consume? etc. You will use the language skills, specifically, any time the situation requires written words: writing that cover letter, proposing a project to your manager, creating accurate, detailed patient notes, texting an old flame, writing your senator, etc.
Description: In English 102, you will examine and refine your own writing process as you create an argument-driven research paper of 8-10 pages, using 6-10 credible, college-level sources that discuss a specific topic within the writer’s chosen Area of Study or other intellectual interest. Those students who have not formally identified an Area of Study will investigate an issue addressed by a field or profession of interest to them.
The writer’s argument will address the writer’s class peers in the chosen Area of Study and future professors in the field. The writer will assume that some members of the essay’s skeptical audience will disagree with the argument presented in the essay.
The essay will use the discipline-specific style guide (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago) commonly used by those writing in the chosen Area of Study or field.
Skills:By completing this assignment, you will practice the following:
1. Read a variety of discipline-specific texts critically
2. Compose texts and arguments appropriate to a discipline-specific purpose and audience
3. Locate and evaluate popular and professional sources
4. Integrate original ideas with sources, using formal citation methods as appropriate to the task
5. Focus, develop, and organize ideas effectively.
6. Edit for sentence clarity, using appropriate conventions of grammar and mechanics
Knowledge: This assignment will also help you to become familiar with the following important content knowledge:
1. Important issues, problems, and discoveries in your discipline
2. Opinions, statistics, expert opinion, and stories surrounding your chosen topic in your field
3. Specific vocabulary and terminology used in your discipline
4. Credible publications discussing issues in your discipline
5. Rules and conventions for the style guide associated with your discipline
6. Grammatical conventions to communicate clearly
7. Definition of intentional and unintentional plagiarism

ESSAY CHOICE 1Develop a communication strategy to resolve confli.docxrusselldayna
ESSAY CHOICE 1
Develop a communication strategy to resolve conflict in the work environment.
One of the key challenges for managers is to find adaptive communication strategies that create an open, enabling work culture. Management have asked you to develop a communication strategy to improve staff morale following a meeting highlighting entrenched conflict in the workplace. Management is supportive of positive resolution and reluctant to lose staff members.
Management perceive that the conflict is the result of:
· discrimination issues due to diverse workplace
· harassment / bullying issues
· power issues.
The critical analysis of the work environment and the resultant communication strategy will demonstrate your understanding of:
· structural issues (mechanistic or organic structure or a hybrid of both)
· cultural ethos of the organisation (receptivity of management, acceptance of diversity, openness to innovation)
· characteristics of prevailing work culture of the organisation (e.g. embracive work culture and adaptivity of management)
· work relationship issues such as interpersonal and group communication
· ethical and legal best practice.
Select an organisation that you thoroughly investigated (minimum of twenty staff). This might be an organisation where you have worked. However, this organisation must be large enough and sufficiently complex to sustain a detailed analysis of these important conflict issues.
However, focus only on those elements that are most appropriate to the development of a communication strategy to improve staff morale.
At least six scholarly sources must be submitted. Referencing should be in either the Harvard or APA referencing system.
There is an excellent guide to referencing styles available through the Griffith University library website. Further guidelines and Criteria Sheet are available through the unit website.
Essays should be double spaced (or at least 1.5 minimum) using 12pt Times or the equivalent (eg. 11pt Arial) and presented as doc or docx files.
Always attach a completed Assignment Cover Sheet, available through the Assessment information on the course website.
