    TOPIC: TECHNOLOGY IN FORENSIC SCIENCE
    Due date: end of Week 4 by 11:59 PM EST in the Assignments area Create a reference list of at least 5 scholarly sources that you will use in your presentation. References should use APA format (6th edition). For assistance with APA format, visit the UMGC library site at the following link: http://www.umgc.edu/library/libhow/apa_examples.cfm
    Finding scholarly sources Being an informed consumer of social research is an important skill. At UMGC, we are fortunate to have access to an extensive collection of journals, periodicals and books, but what do you do when you don’t have an academic library? Google it, of course! Google Scholar is readily available to anyone with access to the Internet. Simply open www.google.com and click the “More” tab at the top of the page, then click on “Google Scholar” and type in your search words. For this part of the applied final project, you will use the UMGC library databases or Google Scholar to: Locate 5 scholarly or credible sources on your chosen topic (Within the past 2 years)
    Locate at least 1 article that addresses your topic from the perspective of a different country or culture
    Locate at least 1 article related to policy (i.e. what policies exist, are being considered, or are needed to address your issue)
    What is a scholarly or credible source? For your project, you should be relying on sources that have credibility. Appropriate sources would be articles written by experts in the field, articles found in peer-reviewed journals, published documents from well-known research groups (e.g. Pew Research), and reports published by government agencies (e.g. NIH, CDC). Inappropriate sources would include popular websites (e.g. about.com, ehow.com, Wikipedia) or media outlets (e.g. Fox, MSNBC, WSJ, NY Times, Forbes, etc.). These sources do not always accurately report their findings and are sometimes prone to bias. If a website or article fails to report the credentials of the author and does not provide citations for the information contained in the article, chances are it is not a scholarly source and therefore should not be used. For more information, the UMGC Library has more information on how to evaluate your sources available at: http://www.umgc.edu/library/libhow/how_evaluate.cfm Submit a summary of each article using the worksheet that follows. In your own words, identify the key findings of the article. Do not simply state what the article was about (e.g. “This article talks about cyberbullying.”). What specific information did you learn from your source? (e.g. “Cyberbullying has become a popular means of abuse among teenagers, affecting about half of all young people.”) The purpose of this summary is to prove that you have actually read and understood each of your sources. Your summaries should be 2-3 paragraphs in length. Do NOT simply copy and paste the abstract or any other part of your source! This is plagiarism and is a violation of university policy that can result in being reported to the Dean’s office. The purpose of this assignment is to 1) ensure that you are using appropriate, scholarly sources, and 2) to make sure you are on track for your final presentation to the class. Complete and save the worksheet as a document or .pdf and submit as an attachment in the Assignments area. Annotated Bibliography Worksheet

  • create a proposal for how you might study the topic of first-generation college students, either qualitatively or quantitatively.

    This assignment requires that you use your accumulated knowledge about the elements of research. In this final project, you will create a proposal for how you might study the topic of first-generation college students, either qualitatively or quantitatively.
    Please leave all subheadings in the PowerPoint slides and build your content under those subheadings. Use a sentence-style outline and be sure to explain your points clearly. Also, be sure to use cited support throughout the outline. Once completed, this template can serve as a guide for your own research proposal project in the future.
    A PowerPoint template has been provided for you to outline your ideas. Each slide has a major heading that focuses on the given research component. The major headings are accompanied by subheadings that signal the main points to be addressed. As this is a PowerPoint presentation, you are not asked to provide a full narrative, but rather clear and concise bullet points in brief sentence style demonstrating your understanding of each aspect of the plan.
    It is important to use the articles provided for the Week 3 and Week 6 assignments, the course text, and any additional scholarly sources you choose to support your proposal.

  • Can personal dispositions be taught or are they inherent in an individual?

    Can personal dispositions be taught or are they inherent in an individual? Should we be recruiting people with those dispositions to be school psychologists or can we teach people that don’t have those natural dispositions to have those skills? If so, how does a university graduate training program in school psychology (like ours at UHV) teach and measure these types of skills to produce successful school psychologists?
    ANSWER
    Personal dispositions, such as empathy, patience, and resilience, can be both inherent and learned. Some people may naturally possess these qualities, while others may need to cultivate them through experience and training. However, even those who are not naturally predisposed to these qualities can develop them over time.
    Schools psychology programs should focus on recruiting individuals with the personal dispositions that are essential for success in the field. These qualities include:
    Empathy: School psychologists must be able to understand and share the feelings of others, especially children. This is necessary for building rapport, providing effective counseling, and designing interventions that address students’ emotional needs.
    Patience: School psychologists work with a diverse range of students, many of whom have learning disabilities, behavioral challenges, or emotional problems. They must be able to remain patient and compassionate even in difficult situations.
    Resilience: School psychologists face many challenges in their work, such as dealing with difficult parents, managing difficult students, and navigating complex bureaucracies. They must be able to bounce back from setbacks and maintain their composure under pressure.
    In addition to recruiting individuals with the right personal dispositions, schools psychology programs can also teach and measure these qualities in their students. This can be done through a variety of methods, such as:
    Self-report measures: Students can complete surveys or questionnaires that assess their own levels of empathy, patience, and resilience.
    Observational measures: Professors and instructors can observe students’ interactions with others to assess their interpersonal skills and ability to manage challenging situations.
    Simulations: Students can participate in simulations that require them to apply their empathy, patience, and resilience to real-world scenarios.
    By combining these methods, schools psychology programs can identify students who possess the necessary personal dispositions and provide them with the training they need to develop these qualities further. This will help to ensure that aspiring school psychologists have the skills they need to be successful in their careers.
    Here are some specific examples of how a university graduate training program in school psychology (like ours at UHV) can teach and measure these types of skills:
    Empathy: The program can incorporate courses on child development, psychology, and counseling that focus on understanding the emotional needs of children. Students can also participate in role-playing exercises and simulations that require them to empathize with different characters.
    Patience: The program can incorporate courses on classroom management, behavior modification, and crisis intervention that teach students strategies for managing difficult situations. Students can also participate in group projects and practicum experiences that require them to work with students who have challenging behaviors.
    Resilience: The program can incorporate courses on stress management, self-care, and problem-solving that teach students how to cope with challenges. Students can also participate in reflective journaling exercises that encourage them to process their experiences and develop coping mechanisms.
    By incorporating these strategies into their programs, schools psychology programs can help to ensure that their students develop the personal dispositions they need to be successful in their careers. This will make a positive impact on the lives of children and families in their communities.

    This week you are going to create an informational and instructive PowerPoint (PPT) presentation outlining the steps that a communicator should take when preparing their message. In doing this, you should pull from your readings and research the different types of memory that can be used, as well as the value in meaning making. As you create this presentation, you should work to present the information in a way that practices what you are communicating through your presentation. Additionally, you should use the speaker’s notes areas of the PPT to expand on your points beyond the information shared in the slides.
