The Respond requirement this week does not follow the usual guidelines. You will still respond to two colleagues, but one of those colleagues must have read Article A and one must have read Article B. As a result, you will need to familiarize yourself with the article you were not assigned to in order to respond effectively.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review your assigned article—either Article A or Article B, as described above. Also, review the article to which you were not assigned. You will be required to respond to one colleague who read the other article, so you should have a working knowledge of that article in order to respond effectively.

Review Chapter 6 in the course text, A Primer in Theory Construction and Chapter 3 in the course text, Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches.

Review the annotated journal article “Examining Contextual Factors in the Career Decision Status of African American Adolescents,” which is annotated to reveal how the theory is used.

Consider characteristics of quantitative and qualitative studies as presented in Creswell.

Determine if your assigned article is quantitative or qualitative. Remember the distinction for future work with the two articles. Analyze the characteristics of the article that make it quantitative or qualitative.

Look to the Use of Theory Checklist that you downloaded as a guide for critiquing the theoretical framework of your assigned article.

Identify and analyze the assumptions found in your assigned article.
With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a 3-paragraph critique in which you:

Identify your assigned article as quantitative or qualitative and support your assertion with an analysis of three defining characteristics.

Describe, and critique the theoretical framework using the “Use of Theory Checklist” as a guide.

Analyze at least one assumption in your assigned article.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the reading(s) and/or media segment(s) and use APA format.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

Student will review Course Materials area for weekly reading.
? Student will assemble all assignments completed in this course to compile an E-Portfolio for submission to the weekly assignment folder.
? Student will participate in weekly discussion board questions.

Lesson
We are now going to create the e-portfolio we have been working on throughout the course.

As, Electronic Portfolios are becoming more accepted within the academic and professional fields, we need to learn how to develop and create an effective e-portfolio. E-portfolio consists of three different categories: student e-portfolios, teacher e-portfolios and institutional e-portfolios. (Lorenzo and Ittelson, 2005) Each of these accomplishes the task of collecting and presenting data and accomplishments of the individual.

E-portfolios have many different functions which include the following:

Plan educational programs

Document knowledge, skills, abilities and learning

Track development within a program

Find a Job

Evaluate a course

Monitor and evaluate performance. (Greenberg, 2004)

Any combination of there different functions can be used to create an effective e-portfolio.

Speech Two is designed to be a more formal Persuasive Speech. You should pick a side of the issue and work to persuade your audience, through outside research, why they should support that side of the issue.

Students are to research the topic of the death penalty and are to choose a side to argue. If a student decides to argue for the continued application of the death penalty they should argue their points and their reasoning for the death penalty, pointing out the positive aspects and the benefits of such a sentence. If, however, students decide to argue against the death penalty they should argue their reasoning for abolishing the sentence and the negative aspects of the punishment.

(The war in Syria) Have a look at the report “Stolen Futures”, put out by Oxford
Research Group in 2013. Go to page 15 to see a list of organizations collecting data on
the conflict. Google around to get a sense of what is out there. Pick an organization
that has a database you like. Do a Dirty War analysis based on this database. I’ve left
this question deliberately open-ended so that you come up with your own ideas on how
you want to go about this. Of course, try to get guidance from some of the papers
you’ve read and the lectures I’ve given.

(Dodgy Iraq Survey) I have posted the dataset that was released for the Roberts et al.
survey on mortality in Iraq right next to the present document. There are various things
you might want to do with this survey but I would suggest focusing on the sheet that
gives information (incomplete) about where the different clusters are. Try placing these
locations on a map of Iraq and then write up what you find. One very good way to do
this is using Google Earth. It is pretty easy to figure out how to use it. Once you build up
a picture of where the clusters are think about how random the sample was.
