  • [ANSWERED] You are to locate one source of pop psychology and one source of empirical research and compare…

    You are to locate one source of pop psychology and one source of empirical research and compare and contrast the merit of the information in each as follows:
    Begin by searching in the appropriate place for 2 sources that are fittingly related to each other on any topic in Psychology. Empirical research can only be found in professional journals. The easiest way to find a professional journal article is by accessing PsycINFO through the portal at my.saintleo.edu then locating the online Library. Pop psychology sources are newspapers, news magazines, tabloids, and other self-help articles found either online or on store shelves. Examples include articles by Dr. Phil, Dear Abby, Dr. Laura, Tony Robbins, etc. Articles in
    Psychology Today
    and
    WorldHealth.net
    are pop psychology and, although they may report on or refer to empirical research, they are not professional journal articles.
    To prepare your essay, you should think critically about the
    merit
    of the information in each article by asking the following questions about each: a.) What is the main issue, problem, or intention of the article? b.) In what way(s) does the article investigate various points of view and assumptions? c.) What evidence is provided to support the issue? d.) In what way(s) does the article discuss consequences and implications of the reasoning provided? e.) In what way(s) does the information provided help you make an informed decision about the purpose?
    Now, focus on the answers to the above questions and compare and contrast the 2 sets of information.
    Determine what your thesis is and state it clearly and concisely. It should briefly introduce your topic but more importantly
    should indicate that your purpose is to compare and contrast the merit of the pop psychology article with the merit of the empirical article.
    This will be the first sentence of your essay.
    In the body of your essay, you may do a whole-to-whole comparison of the 2 sets of information or you may do a (less common) point-to-point comparison. For a whole-to-whole comparison, address the information about one of the articles by discussing its merit using the critical thinking concepts above, then, do the same for the second article. For point-by-point, you should address the first important point about one article then that same point about the other, discuss a second point about one then the other, and so on. You will want to be very thorough in the body as this is a very large percentage of your grade on the essay.
    Your conclusion should summarize how the merit of the pop psychology article compares and contrasts with the merit of the empirical article, thus reaffirming your thesis without restating it. This is where you conclude with inferences, clearly address implications or consequences of accepting the given information, and culminate any assertions.

    This unit provides a consideration of selected philosophies and related issues relevant to Christians in the teaching ministry. This subject emphasizes the practical implications of adopting a Christian educational philosophy, particularly in Christian schools, and examines the special character of Christian (including Adventist) schools. In doing this it gives important reinforcement to the key principles and perspectives of teaching and learning which provide the motivation and foundation for excellence in Christian teaching.

    Examine alternative solutions to develop a design for a scalable highly available Web Site and justify your chosen solution with a design rationale. Preferably, you should discuss a couple of solutions and choose the best option. Note: You may find the Extra recordings in the Week 9 page in Canvas helpful in evaluating your architectural design. Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology Swinburne University of Technology COS20019 CCA Assignment 3 2 Scenario The Photo Album application you developed has met with amazing success and needs to be further developed to meet increasing demand. In particular, the following problems/requirements have been identified by the company: 1. Where possible the company would like to use managed cloud services to minimise the need for in-house systems administration. Photo and other media will be stored in AWS S3. 2. The company is not sure how demand for its application will grow in the future but over recently it has been doubling every 6 months. It expects this trend will continue for the next 2 or 3 years at least and it wants the architecture to be able to cope with this growth. 3. The current system EC2 instances are running on t2.micro. The compute capacity is regularly exceeding the 80% performance limit with 6 instances running. The desired load needs to decrease to between 50 and 60%. 4. The relational database is relatively slow and costly to run. Given the simple table structure, the company would like to explore more cost-effective options. 5. The application has had wide uptake around the world but response time in countries other than Australia has been relatively slow. Global response times need to be improved. 6. It is expected the system will be extended to handle video media in the future. 7. The media can be uploaded by users in all sorts of formats. The company would like various versions of media to be automatically produced (e.g. thumbnails, low resolution versions suitable for mobile phones, or video transcoding). The process for reformatting/transcoding/reprocessing media should meet the following criteria:

    Identify which critical approach is represented by the passage; explain your answer. If you think the author is using more than one approach, explain.
    About Tim O’Brien, author of
    Things They Carried
    …
    “Drafted in 1968, Tim O’Brien served in Vietnam in 1969, and in the fall of 1970 he enrolled in Harvard University’s doctoral program in government. During his first year of graduate school O’Brien began writing If I Die in a Combat Zone, a memoir of his Vietnam experiences. Taking a year off from Harvard in 1973-74 to work as a general assignment reporter for the Washington Post, O’Brien also found time to write Northern Lights, his first novel. Realizing that the form of If I Die did not allow him to get at important psychological truths or to fully explore the meaning of his Vietnam experiences, and convinced that the life of the imagination is half of war–indeed, half of any kind of experience–O’Brien gave his fertile imagination free rein in Going After Cacciato, a highly inventive and skillfully crafted novel which won the National Book Award in 1978 over John Irving’s celebrated The World According to Garp. Returning to the apocalyptic themes of Northern Lights, O’Brien’s most recent work, The Nuclear Age, is a warning that our species will not survive if we continue to conceive of the Bomb and nuclear war as mere metaphors. We must, O’Brien’s protagonist continually exhorts us, imagine the real.
    A painstaking and meticulous craftsman in his own writing, O’Brien nonetheless insists that style is not the most important element of good literature.”

  • [ANSWERED] Post daily schedules and reminders of what is expected from students during the day in class…

    I believe consistency is the key to sustaining an effective BIP. The teacher will need to monitor children’s behavior and extend it to the home consistently. Therefore there has to be a collaboration with parents. Parents will have to be kept updated on the child’s progress to reinforce and mon itor the behavior at home and report back to the teacher. As a result, the teacher will have to equip them with the tools to do so effectively. Some strategies I could include in my classroom management to incorporate students who are on a BIP are:
    1. Post daily schedules and reminders of what is
    expected from students during the day in class
    2. Check on students regularly while they conduct
    their activities
    3. Outline to students signals that I will use to indicate
    when they should be quiet, do their work, or stop
    working
    4. Have clear established routines that will likely

    A unit of study cannot provide ALL foundational and extension learning on a particular body of knowledge. As learners, we should seek out our own pathways to knowledge to continue along the trajectory of being an ICT professional. You should consider these prompts when building your response: • How did you seek out extension material, go deeper in pursuit of knowledge? • What methods did you use (for example did you Link-in with industry, did you subscribe to industry e-zines, social media feeds, did you become a member of a professional body, did you attend a networking event or visit the Swinburne Careers Service? • What could you have done better to take ownership of your learning? Claims made as to how you took ownership must be substantiated and overall discussion supported with evidence linking back to key elements of theory discussed in this unit. The Value of Professional education Question: As a student, what is the importance/value of Professional Education (i.e., education about/on issues relating to your chosen ICT future career) to you? You should consider these prompts when building your response: • How can a unit on professional education better prepare you for induction into an ICT career? • What professional values did you take away from this unit? • How can such a unit of study deliver to you, the value which you seek?
