1- The researchers analyzed the data they collected as though it were at what level of measurement? (Your choices are: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval/ratio, or Experimental)

2- What was the mean posttest empowerment score for the control group?

3- Compare the mean baseline and posttest depression scores of the experimental group. Was this an expected finding? Provide a rationale for your answer.

4- Compare the mean baseline and posttest depression scores of the control group. Do these scores strengthen or weaken the validity of their search results? Provide a rationale for your answer.

5- Which group’s test scores had the least amount of variability or dispersion? Provide a rationale for your answer.

6 – Did the empowerment variable or self-care self-efficacy variable demonstrate the greatest amount of dispersion? Provide a rationale for your answer.

7 – The mean (X ̅) is a measure of _____ a distribution while the SD is a measure of ____ its scores. Both X ̅ and SD are ____ statistics.

8 – What was the mean severity for renal disease for the research subjects? What was the dispersion or variability of the renal disease severity scores? Did the severity scores vary significantly between the control and the experimental groups? Is this important? Provide a rationale for your answer.

9 – Which variable was least affected by the empowerment program? Provide a rationale for your answer.

10 – Was it important for the researchers to include the total means and SDs for the study variables in Table 2 to promote the readers’ understanding of the study results? Provide a rationale for your answer.

LessonPlan_Template.docx  (I made some changes to the template – the red font provides guidance on what to include in each section. You do not need to change anything in the grey box)  

You have been reading, watching, and talking a lot about teaching and learning. Now is your opportunity to apply some of what you have been doing in class by creating a learning experience for others! I can’t wait to see what you come up with 🙂 

There are 3 parts to the assignment – the lesson plan (IPW), the reflection (about 2 pages), and the demonstration.

This assignment

1. Instruction Plan Worksheet (IPW) for a specific age/grade group covering a specific topic/learning outcome from (choose one) chapter 3, 4, or 5
2. Reflective Paper written in formal APA style describing your process for creating the IPW. 
3. Demonstration: You have creative choice for how you wish to complete part 2. You are to create a short demonstration of you teaching an activity for this unit. 

1. Instruction Plan Worksheet:  At the end of chapters 3, 4, & 5 you will find an Instruction Plan Worksheet. The purpose of this form is to aid the novice teacher in planning for, organizing, and assessing learning outcomes. You will be completing a shortened version of an IPW for this Learning Activity. To help you get started, a copy of this form is attached (LessonPlan_Page), as well as, and example of the IPW filled out. You are to complete this plan for 1 learning outcome, with an associated activity and an assessment. 

You may wish to review chapter 2 for specific information on what you need to consider and how to fill out the IPW. 

2. Reflective Paper: This is the “meta-cognitive” portion of your learning activity. In this paper, I want you to talk about your creative process for coming up with the activities, objectives and assessments for your IPW. In this paper you will also talk about how you used resources from the class, your text, your interview — anything you have done to date. You may also talk about what you found through your own research and how you used this information to build your IPW. Here are some areas to include in your paper: 

• Describe your creative thought process for completing the IPW. How do you visualize what was going to happen in the classroom? What will you be doing as a teacher? Why did you choose the materials, activities, and assessments you chose?etc.
• What questions did you need to ask in order to complete the IPW?
• What do you need to do to prepare for this lesson?
• What information did you need to gather? How did you use the information and resources you found? 
• Talk about the assessment you chose — how will this assessment tell you if your students actually achieved the learning objective you set for them?
• What are some challenges you encountered creating this IPW? How did you meet these challenges?

3. Demonstration: Use your creativity for this section! You have the option to either create a demonstration of how you would teach your IPW or what a product/learning outcome, assessment, product etc would look like from your IPW. Here are some examples of what I mean: 

• Create a short (1-2 minute) video of you teaching some portion of your IPW (this can be any portion of the lesson). 
• Create a PowerPoint with pictures of you teaching or with you talking through the lesson. 
• Do the activity in your IPW yourself and upload an image of what is produced — for example, if you had children build a food pyramid out of images of food cut out from ads in a newspaper, you would actually do this yourself, take a picture of your food clips pyramid and upload the image along with your IPW and your paper. Provide instructions for how to both do and teach the activity.
• You may also come up with something on your own that covers either you demonstrating what you would do, showing something you would create, or creating something you would have students do.

Remember — this last section is for you to try things out and experiment — This section is deliberately designed to be very open — I want you to play and experiment with what you might actually do in a classroom someday! 

1. Define the following terms:  poster session, conference proceedings, manuscript, paper, and journal article.

2. State what can be gained by presenting at a conference or by participating in a poster   session.

3. List some qualities of good presentations at conferences

4. When would a researcher use IMRAD?  What does IMRAD stand for?

5. Who reviews the rigor of the submissions to research journals?

6. Explain the parts of a manuscript.

7. What is publication bias?

8. Differentiate explicit and implicit rules for journals.

Module 4 Reflective Discussion

Final Reflections

Locked before Tuesday, January 2, 2018 12:00 AM PST.

Has this class changed how you view investments and financial management? Are there any concepts from the class that you will use for your career? Are there any concepts that you will use for your own personal investment or money management strategies

MY CLASS IS – 

FIN501 Strategic Corporate Finance

For this assignment I would like you to answer these questions

1.  Explain what a black hole is, describe its characteristics (size, mass), and give a detailed explanation on how they form.  Make sure to explain what the Schwarzschild radius and event horizon are.  Describe the two types of black holes.  

2.  Describe the observational evidence for black holes that are discussed in Chapter 15.

Bonues:   Do a little research on the Internet (read a few articles) and summarize how astronomers were able to make this image of a black hole.  This came out in April 2019.
