Length: 1200-1500 words
Submission method options: EASTS (online)
Task
Write a report (context and impact) which investigates a human services organisation in your
local area. Describe some social, policy and economic factors that may create advantage or
disadvantage for the target populations of this human service organisation. You may use the
organisation from your first assessment or choose a different one. You will make connections
between features of the organisation and the people it provides services for. Identify key
debates, ideas, theories and concepts from your subject readings
Use the set headings in the template for a Report format below:
Title: Organisational contexts and
impacts [Name of organisation]
Student name:
Student I.D number:
1. Executive Summary (approx. 200 words)
In this section, state the title of the organisation and provide an overview of what you have
covered in the sections below. Include main ideas from the readings and/ or conclusions you
have come to in regards to the problem/s and solutions identified in your summary.
2. Organisation profile (approx. 500 words)
In this section describe the organisation and outline the main profile information and
features. Include:
• Type of organisation
• Location (metropolitan, regional, rural, remote);
• Service user population (for example Indigenous services or services for older people;
migrants and refugees; children)
• Services offered
• Any social factors (e.g. distance to services; economic disadvantage; disability) that
are relevant to the organisation’s activities.
(You can improve and use your profile from Assessment 1 if you are investigating the same
organisation)

3. Impact of social policy and economic frameworks (approx. 500 words)
In this section, discuss impacts that social and wider economic policy might have on your
chosen organisation and the services it can deliver. How might aspects such as New Public
Management (NPM), metro-centric service delivery and planning, or globalisation either
advantage or disadvantage the organisation and/or its service users?
4. Conclusion: Problems and possible solutions (approx. 200 words)
In this section, summarise what you have found and discussed above and make at least one
recommendation to help solve a problem identified in section 3. Give reasons why your
solution(s) is sound by making connections to information and ideas from your subject
readings.
References
NOTE on referencing: Your report will include references to at least three (4) academic
readings from WEL118; you may include wider reading if you wish. Websites and
organisational reports also need referencing, and a reference list should be included at the
end of your report.
Rationale
This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:
• be able to describe various service delivery models in the human services field.
• be able to describe the influence of economic and social policy on human services
organisations and their activities.
• be able to articulate the differences between providing human services to
metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, rural and remote areas, Indigenous
communities.
There are many different types of report, but the general purpose of this form of text is to
provide information and research to investigate a situation or problem and provide solutions
or recommendations. It can also be to report on organisational activities, such as an annual
report. As it is a type of text commonly used in the human services profession, Assessment 2
focuses on a foundational understanding and application of the report genre.

Assignment of Final Research Project
LENGTH: At least 10 pages (length of your paper may vary)
GUIDELINES: Please compose a paper that demonstrates your ability to pose a specific research question relating to your area of interest, and to provide the answer to that question that you arrived at through your research. Think of your audience as a relatively specialized audience, in contrast with the more general college-educated audience to whom you may have directed your writing for English 101. After all, what all of you have in common – different as your particular majors are – is a specialized discourse community of which you are becoming a member, and with which you will be communicating throughout the rest of your educational and working life.
Throughout the semester, you have been conducting research regarding your field – both the relatively general research needed for the discipline awareness report, and the more specific research necessary for the research proposal and the literature review exercise. Now, you will build upon that work by discussing what you found through your research. Was the answer that you found to your research question what you expected it to be? How? And why, or why not?
To put together this final research project, you will be combining the three major papers that you have already written, with some new research and conclusions of your own. Recall that in the past, you have written the following:
· A
Discipline Awareness Essay,
in which you looked at peer-reviewed scholarly articles, trade journal articles, and general-interest articles to get a sense of contemporary developments and general areas of concern in your field overall;
· A
Research Proposal,
in which you selected from among those general areas of interest to choose a specific topic that you would research and study this semester;
and
· A
Literature Review,
in which you reviewed, analyzed, and commented upon relevant scholarly literature pertaining to the topic that you chose to study.
Now, for the Final Research Project, you will combine these three course elements with a fourth course element:
· A
Findings Report,
in which you utilize first-hand primary-source research of your own to arrive at your answer to your research question.
Remember: the Discipline Awareness Essay + the Research Proposal + the Literature Review + the Findings Report = the Final Research Project.
By this point in the semester, you have already shown your ability to read the research of others. I am hoping that, for this final project, you will show your ability to conduct some primary research of your own. Options for conducting your own research include the following:
·
Interview.
Whether in person, by telephone, or via e-mail, you could ask questions of, and gain answers from, someone who has knowledge of and/or experience with your topic. For example, a person studying American policy in Afghanistan or Iraq could interview a George Mason University professor whose area of expertise is modern U.S. foreign policy, or could interview a fellow student, relative, or friend who served with U.S. forces in Afghanistan and/or Iraq.
·
Survey.
You could use a survey form to seek out opinions, beliefs, and perspectives from fellow members of the George Mason community. For instance, a student researching the attitudes of contemporary students with regard to changes in dating norms could send out a survey asking students to share their experiences and perspectives with regard to contemporary dating.
·
Ethnographic observation.
You could visit a site frequented by people whose life experiences and/or interests relate to your topic. For example, a student researching issues relating to religious belief could attend a meeting of a Mason student group for whom such issues are of particular interest. By observing the group, listening to what the members of the group say, and taking careful notes regarding details of what the members of the group wear, what insider terms or key language they share, what signage or documents can be seen at their meetings, etc., you can gain a strong sense of what the members of the group find interesting and important, and can connect those perspectives with what you have already learned through your prior studies.
As the fields in which you work are diverse, you may use either APA or MLA documentation, according to your preference. Please be aware that it might be a good idea to try to utilize the form of documentation that is and will be customary for upper-level courses in your major field, and/or for written work in your future professional career. Additionally, remember the reasons for the norms of documentation in both of these documentation styles; choose one and be consistent. Do not devise your own documentation style that contains different elements of APA and MLA; a paper in “AMPLAA” will not be acceptable.
In the past, we have discussed how it is often a norm in social-science research for papers to follow a structure of IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results, And Discussion) – something that is standard practice in many papers written in APA, though not in MLA. Following the IMRAD structure is not required for this assignment, though you may do so as you wish. You also have the option of titling the sections “Discipline Awareness,” “Research Proposal,” “Literature Review,” and “Findings Report,” if you like, or of giving the sections creative titles of your own.
You may draw upon your prior work for the class as you see fit; the key distinction is that, where prior work set forth the questions that you were asking, the emphasis in this final paper should be upon the answers that you found and the reasons why they matter. Whatever specific choices you make regarding how to organize and present your paper, remember that, like any other piece of writing, it will need to have a clear thesis or main idea: what answer you found to your research question, and why it should matter to your readers. And your claim should be supported by reasons for that claim; and your claim and reason should be supported by the evidence that you found in the process of your research.watch ????????????subject-verb agreement, word choice, and ???sentence combining, and look out for shifts in person.Please remember that your intended line of research should be something that an individual undergraduate student can accomplish in a single semester or summer session

1.A carpenter makes tables and chairs from wood and fiber. The store has 50 units of wood and
40 units of fiber. Each table requires 10 units of wood and 4 units of fiber, whereas each chair
requires 6 units of fiber and 4 units of wood. The store has to use a minimum of 20 units of fiber. The demand for tables is no more than 2. Each table is sold along with at least two chairs. A table and a chair earn $300 and $200 in profit, respectively. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem with an appropriate objective function. -

Assignment 2 needs to be posted online for discussion:
There are four requirements for posting your assignment online:
1. Please post the assignment that you have already submitted
electronically to the discussion board on moodle. Please consider
assignment 2 as “really” an online assessment. The reason that
the assignment is required to be submitted electronically is to
enable a submission to have been recorded formally (and to
enable turnitin for plagiarism checks).
Note for GEPL535 students: Please post Assignment 2 online.
Assignment 3 does not need to be posted online.
2. Please wait until the day after the official esubmission deadline
before posting online (it is fine to esubmit early … but best to wait
until after the esubmission deadline to post the assignment to the
discussion board – just in case people find they are distracted by
your answer while still writing their own).
3. Before posting to moodle, please remove any identifying details
such as your student number that you do not wish to make public
to the class. With online assessments, as you may be familiar
from other units, all students enrolled in the unit have the
opportunity to read it.
4. Please post to the appropriate jurisdictional area in the online
discussion forum (for e.g. if your answer focuses on NSW law
then post to the NSW area). Online posting provides an
opportunity for peer-to-peer learning – and also jurisdiction-tojurisdiction
learning. For example, those working in one
jurisdiction can read about what is happening in other
jurisdictions.

How do members of the public implicitly theorise* youth offending?…
While it has been well-documented that the public is concerned about youth offending (Maruna & King 2008; Pickett & Chiricos 2012; Piquero & Steinberg 2010), much research shows that the public favour preventative and rehabilitative measures for young people, and that they are more likely to support such measures for young offenders than for adults (see eg Piquero & Steinberg 2010; Piquero et al. 2010; Miller & Applegate 2015; see Gelb 2011a, 2011b on the Australian context). Such beliefs about what should be done about youth offending stem from beliefs about the causes of youth offending. As Vold (cited in Maruna and King 2009: 7) argues, ‘there is an obvious and logical interdependence between what is done about crime and what is assumed to be the reason for or explanation of criminality’.
With this as context, answer the following:
1. In the comments, how do members of the public implicitly theorise* youth offending? (In other words, what are the main theories of youth offending that are reflected in comments made by members of the public?)
2. How do these implicit theorisations accord with the literature on public opinion about youth offending? (In other words, how do the ways in which the public explain youth offending reflect or challenge what the academic literature shows about public opinion about youth crime generally)?
