explain what the paper was about.  What was the research question?  What hypotheses did the authors test?  How did they test their hypothesis (that is, what did they do?) and what were the results? 

/in /by

Write a 750- to 1,100-word paper that contrasts ethically responsible and irresponsible news reporting.

Answer the following questions:

  • What is journalism’s ethical responsibility to society?
  • When, if ever, is deception permissible in journalism?
  • What ethical obligations do reporters have to their sources?
  • Under what conditions is a journalist ethically obligated to maintain privacy?

Illustrate your response to each question with at least two examples: one example of ethically responsible reporting and another example of ethically irresponsible reporting.

Consider the following:

  • Consider using contrasting examples of coverage of the same issue to highlight differences between journalistic practices that are ethically responsible and irresponsible. You may use case studies from any of the assigned chapters of Media Ethics, or you may conduct external research using popular news sources, issues, and coverage.
  • Remember that this assignment asks you to compare different approaches to news reporting; sources that simply provide opinion or commentary should not be used as examples.

Reference at least two peer-reviewed articles.

explain what the paper was about.  What was the research question?  What hypotheses did the authors test?  How did they test their hypothesis (that is, what did they do?) and what were the results?  What do they think their results mean?  Be sure to focus only on the essential information—you can assume that I have read the paper and know the details.

Did the authors convince you that their research question is important and that their hypotheses are meaningfully related to their research question? Why or why not?

What do you think about the interpretations of the data and the associated conclusions the authors draw? Are there additional experiments that you think would be relevant and interesting for future investigations?

Article evaluations should be no longer than 1 page, single-spaced

CLASS PROJECT:TEACHING DEMONSTRATION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

OVERVIEW

Your class project is to design a 40-60 minute teaching lesson incorporating the main elements of this class:

Emphasis on critical thinking

Use of active learning strategies

Incorporating andragogy (adult learning theory)

You will not actually present this lesson but will simply design your teaching demonstration.

By now you should have mastered the content for each of these elements. It might help to review class content before you complete this project.

Critical Thinking: as we have emphasized all term, the essence of graduate school should be critical thinking, rather than just adding more knowledge to your understanding. You have read invaluable content on stimulating thought and implementing the highest levels of thought from Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Anderson and Krathwohl revision of Bloom. In your class project, you will primarily challenge your students with the highest level of thought –application, analysis, evaluation, creation, etc. Your teaching demonstration is not primarily a lecture, in which you simply impart knowledge, but exercises designed to challenge and stimulate thinking. If you just present a lecture, you will not pass this final project.

Active Learning: the class content had excellent discussion on the concept of active learning. While lecture has a place in higher education, your students are best served in an environment in which they learning actively. You were introduced to numerous active learning strategies through the class content and you will demonstrate several active learning techniques in this final project. For sure, you may need to present some basic information (lecture, video, etc.) but most of your time should be taken up with your active learning strategies. Doing so should make your proposed teaching demonstration exciting, challenging, and even fun.

Adult Learning Theory: you also read a lot about andragogy and you are tasked with incorporating adult learning principles into your proposed teaching demonstration.

INSTRUCTIONS

Elements of the Final Project

Literature Review

The teaching topic you chose in week one was a narrowed focus in a larger body of research. You may have an interest in a particular therapy technique applied to a specific diagnosis. In your first section, provide a brief overview of the body of research, and then how you narrowed down your focus in order to emphasize higher-order thinking. You will have your students attempt to solve a particular problem in the research on a topic, apply concepts to a new application, come up with a unique treatment plan, etc. In this first section, you will lay out the foundation for what you propose to do, by drawing from the research literature on the topic. In essence, you will present a brief literature review and justification for narrowing your focus to your specific teaching topic. Make sure to cite your research correctly per APA. Length: the length of your literature review will vary according to the topic and the depth of the research. Make the literature review of sufficient length to explain the foundation for your active learning activities and HOTS emphasis. Most likely several pages will be necessary.

Learning Objectives (LOs)A strong teaching demonstration begins with strong learning objectives. Based on the class content on LOs, write at least three learning objectives that primarily include higher order thinking. Follow the suggestions provided in class for writing clear, strong, and valid LOs.

Description of Active Learning Strategies Thoroughly review the class content on active learning strategies, and in this section, indicate 2-3 different active learning strategies that you will include in your proposed teaching demonstration. Draw from the class sources (cited correctly) and explain why your chosen teaching strategies best fit your LOs. That is, in implementing your learning objectives, explain why the chosen teaching strategies best complete your LOs. Recall that one of the class documents suggested learning activities that fit with each level of thought (Bloom’s Taxonomy and Anderson and Krathwohl’s revision of Bloom).

HOTS to be Implemented

A focus on this class entitled “Teaching and Learning” has been on stimulating thought and integrating higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in active learning strategies. In this section, briefly review the highest levels of thought that you want to implement in your teaching demonstration. Review what each means as applied in your teaching demonstration, drawing broadly from the class discussion on HOTS. Why does your topic lend itself to the highest levels of thought that you want to demonstrate—that is, what about your teaching topic suggests a need to evaluate, or critique, or create a new way, or apply in a different way, etc.? Again, cite your class sources per APA.

Elements of Andragogy that you will Incorporate

Review the class content on adult learning theory. In this section, determine which elements of andragogy need to be incorporated into your proposed teaching demonstration. Provide solid justification for your conclusion. Draw from the class content on adult learning theory, and cite correctly.

Putting it All Together –Template

In your final section, propose a 45-60 minute teaching demonstration using the following table.

Your table should be complete and detailed so that the reader knows exactly what you propose to do in each active learning segment to completely fulfill the LOs.

Formatting Your final project should be presented as a formal APA paper, with headings to correspond with topics mentioned above. For sure, you will need a correctly formatted title page and reference page. As noted, you need to draw broadly from the class sources and cite correctly.

Have fun with this project! This will give you an opportunity to propose a teaching demonstration incorporating core concepts you learned this term.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Read the entire “Vargas Family Case Study” (all eight sections). Consider the progress (or lack thereof) over the past eight sessions. Using the “Discharge Summary Outline” template; include the following in your outline:

  1. A brief summary of what was going on with the family
  2. A review of the initial treatment goals
  3. Theories and interventions used
  4. A brief discharge summary for the family treatment
  5. Clinical recommendations for sustained improvement or referrals for additional services

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a scoring guide. Please review the scoring guide prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Having conducted a job analysis for commercial pilots and examined their training and development needs, you now need to examine other factors that may affect their ability to perform optimally. This week, you look at employee performance as it relate to the CRM case study. You will examine factors such as counterproductive behavior and other job stressors that may affect employee performance.

Imagine you are an I/O psychologist consultant.

Create a 10- to 15-slide presentation with speaker notes on your recommendations for enhancing employee performance for the pilots. Include the following:

  • At least 2 motivational theories, explaining how they could be applied to optimize the pilots’ performance
  • The role of occupational stress and job satisfaction as it relates to the pilots’ performance
  • Specific examples of counterproductive behavior and the effects these may have on the work environment
  • Why employee wellbeing would be a crucial factor in ensuring a productive work environment

Format any citations in your presentation according to APA guidelines.

This week we are discussing the topic of ethics and morality when it comes to human sexuality.  With that in mind, please choose one of these three topics: Prostitution, Sex Trafficking, or Pornography which many consider a moral issue.

Read the required reading: Ethical Decision Making and then apply the Ethical Problem Solving Model to your topic answering the 5 questions. Please see the model outlined below.

Ethical Problem Solving Model
Answer the five questions when trying to resolve a moral issue:

  • What benefits and what harms will each course of action produce, and which alternative will lead to the best overall consequences?
  • What moral rights do the affected parties have, and which course of action best respects those rights?
  • Which course of action treats everyone the same, except where there is a morally justifiable reason not to, and does not show favoritism or discrimination?
  • Which course of action advances the common good?
  • Which course of action develops moral virtues?

Remember that all situations are unique and not one set of rules applies in all cases. (Velasquez, Andre, Shanks, & Meyer, 2015)
