Education Discussion

In order to receive full credit on your original post, you have to provide a brief summary of some aspect of at least one of the assigned readings AND some type of thoughtful interpretation about the reading. For example, you can connect the reading to your own life experience or work with children, or think about examples youve read about in other classes or the media. Posts that are just summarizing the readings will not receive full credit. Neither will posts about external sources/personal experiences that do not clearly connect back to the reading(s).

To receive full credit on your two replies, you must respond thoughtfully to another classmates post. You may choose to answer a question theyve posed, ask a follow-up question, share an example, or make some other connection that demonstrates that youve carefully read and thought about their post.

Your post will be graded on a scale of 0 to 2 points. You can view the rubric (see uploaded file named criteria). Your post must include an analysis of the reading (e.g., thoughtful question you have, connections with previous class content, other courses, personal experience, etc.). Summaries of the readings, without additional analysis, will not receive full credit.
You must also thoughtfully reply to two classmates’ posts. These will each be graded on a scale of 0-0.5 posts.

300 words for original post, 125 words for each reply.

The reading for this assignment is “Christian et al. (2015) – Influence of the neighborhood physical environment on early child health and development.pdf”
I also uploaded lecture slides, just want to give you a look about what’s going on in this class, they are not sources though
I’ll upload two classmates’ posts later

Social Science and Modern Business Coursework Essay

The assessment for this module is made up of two components a coursework essay and an end of module examination. The coursework essay and the examination each make up 50% of the overall module mark.

The word limit for the coursework essay is 1800 words.

The coursework essay must address one of the following questions:

1. If a causalist, rather than a predictionist, view of science is adopted it is possible to recognise that social reality is open, dynamic and highly internally related and still maintain that an explanatorily powerful social science is entirely feasible. Discuss.

2. Even the achievements of laboratory experimentation ultimately constitute evidence supporting the view that what is essential to the scientific process is the movement from a surface phenomenon to its underlying cause rather than the search for regularities between events. Discuss.

3. Progress in many social science disciplines, perhaps most especially economics, has been constrained by mistaken notions about what is fundamental to scientific practice. Discuss.

4. Keyness account of the volatility of stock market prices developed in Chapter 12 of his General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money is a compelling example of a social science explanation that conforms to a causalist account of the nature of science. Explore how this statement can be defended taking care to consider the key elements of Keyness analysis of the stock market.
