  • Midterm Project

    Students will imagine a creative piece (see below) providing an opportunity to study a topic of their choice by exploring their relationship to the life course perspective and by integrating lecture and readings on the sociology of the life course.

    Students are invited to use a medium of their choice to represent their understanding of the sociology of the life course throughout one topic of their choice and to explore their relationship to it as a social being e.g. as a person with their own biography but living within a certain history or sociohistorical context; as a person who has agency, but whose agency is conditioned by larger social structures and systems; as a person with intergenerational influences and/or individual social constraints to their agency that might be better or also understood as public issues.

    Students can select a medium of their choice (e.g. photography, drawing, painting, mapping, videos, etc.) to represent the life course perspective through the topic they studied in the way they like. There is no right or wrong way to do so. The most important part of these projects is how students accurately explain their creative project in relation to the sociology of the life course.

    These projects are designed to give students agency and control over their learning process, while also allowing them to explore sociology in creative and personal ways. The midterm and final projects are assigned to help students improve their creativity, analytical skills, critical thinking, and to become familiar with how their thoughts are shaped by their assumptions and preconceived ideas. Students are expected to take a position, clearly argue their points (drawing on their own research, class readings and discussions).

    Midterm assignment:

    Students will submit one midterm writing presenting the topic they have selected and how they intend to study and develop it to create their final project. The midterm assignment is designed to help students to imagine and conceptualize their final project and to receive feedback.

    • Considering the sociology of the life course, students will define a specific topic to develop their own research and critical analyses. The creative project represents an analysis of one topic of your choice related to the life course perspective.
    • The writing must be organized as follows: 1) present the topic chosen, 2) justify its importance for the life course perspective, 3) evaluate evidence based on scientific literature, 4) discuss this evidence and establish a position on the topic.
    • Paper length is minimum 800 words, maximum 1200 words (word count includes footnote/ endnotes, but excludes bibliography), single-spaced, fully justified, and with 1 margins on all four sides. The font must be Times Roman, and the font size must be 12.
    • Please utilize the AMA Manual of Style when formatting references. Exact formats and citation styles for written assignments are based on What AJPH Authors Should Know from the American Journal of Public Health. I strongly encourage the adoption of an electronic citation system such as Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote or others.
    • A minimum of five scientific articles is required for the literature review to help you to develop and to support your main personal argument. The evidence base for this assignment consists of peer-reviewed articles, official reports by governmental agencies such as the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), etc., and official reports by international organizations such as the WHO and the UNICEF. Statistics and facts that appear in lay publications, even respected ones such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or their international equivalents, should be traced to their original sources and cited accordingly.

  • Week 2: Topic and Questions

    In this class, we will review national income and related issues. These will also serve as the basis of other topics we will cover later. In addition to covering determinants of total output/income and its distribution, we will analyze the market for loanable funds. Please study Lecture Note 2 under Course Material” (link: ).

    Please answer the following questions and pay careful attention to the instructions.

    Question 1: What determines the amount of output an economy produces? Also, describe Cobb-Douglas production functions. Note: In addition to the lecture note, you can also check the following Khan Academy video:

    Question 2: Choose one of the government policy changes described below (option 1 or 2 or 3) and analyze its effect on the loanable funds market. In addition to the lecture note, you can also check the following Khan Academy video:

    • Option 1: As part of fiscal expansionary policy, suppose there is a massive increase in government spending, e.g., infrastructure spending.
    • Option 2: As part of fiscal contractionary policy, suppose there is a massive decrease in government spending.
    • Option 3: Suppose a government decides to subsidize more investment, e.g., an investment tax credit.
    1. Draw the diagram for the loanable funds model (Please draw by hand or use computer paint or similar software). Assume that the supply curve (national saving) is vertical and does not depend on the interest rate.
    2. How does this policy affect the supply and demand for loanable funds? Which curve does it shift? Note: shift only 1 curve (either saving or investment curve).
    3. Compare the old and new equilibria. What happens to the equilibrium interest rate?

    Instructions:

    • Please give a complete answer to each question.
    • You can either attach a file or insert an image of your drawing into the message area of the Discussions. Please draw by hand or use computer paint or similar software.

  • Developments and the Future of Applied Behavior Analysis

    This assignment assesses the following Course Outcomes:

    Examine the historical perspectives and current developments in applied behavior analysis and professional practice.

    Describe the dimensions of applied behavior analysis.

    Apply concepts of cultural competence to become an agent of change.

    Through the second half of this course, you have had the opportunity to trace the development of applied behavior analysis from the latter part of the twentieth century to the present. This assignment will offer you the opportunity to examine those developments and how applied behavior analysis continues to evolve while remaining rooted in its foundations in science and the philosophy of behaviorism.

    For this assignment, you will provide a long-answer essay response to each of the questions below. For each question, you are encouraged to use the peer-reviewed resources provided throughout the units to support your responses. Please do not copy and paste the whole question into the document. Rather, use APA format section headings to organize your paper, with separate sections for each question. Use the rubric and the assignment prompts as guides to be sure you address all topics.

    Please respond to the following:

    • Begin the assignment by reading the (Leaf, et al. 2022) article, which describes some recent critical perspectives and misconceptions on the use of ABA to treat individuals with autism and other disabilities: Then, use the knowledge that you have gained from this course to make two arguments.
    • In your first argument, explain the usefulness, benefits, and social validity of ABA as an approach to treatment and behavioral development. Be sure to consider the importance of an evidence-based and data-driven approach and the right to effective treatment as described in (Van Houten et al., 1988).
    • In your second argument, respond to some of the concerns addressed in this article.
    • What are some possible unwanted effects that may be associated with practice of ABA, particularly in its earliest historical use? What are some ways the authors suggest these concerns can be addressed?
    • Finally, after considering both arguments, present a supported conclusion on the appropriateness of applied behavior analysis as a socially valid treatment approach to improve quality of life, based on your analysis of the article and related issues. Be sure that you are using your readings and integrating citations to support both arguments.
    • Name and briefly describe five recent developments in ABA that were reviewed in the course.
    • Explain how the philosophy and practice of ABA has evolved with each development and include a specific example for each.
    • Briefly recap each of Baer et al.s (1968) seven dimensions of ABA.
    • Choose one recent development that is of most interest to you and be specific about how the development meets the requirement for each of the seven dimensions. Discuss if there are any ways in which the development does not support the dimensions.
    • Consider the future of ABA. Based on your readings and analysis, what are some important areas for growth and change?
    • Consider the current state of multiculturalism and diversity in practice. Provide a thoughtfully supported prediction of how growth in these areas helps to build relationships to effectively support the goals and practices of applied behavior analysis.
    • Analyze ways in which the goals and philosophical assumptions of ABA, as a related set of underpinnings, will allow for continued development and expansion without sacrificing the scientific foundations of ABA.
    • In your supported opinion (i.e., using your readings for support), what are some important areas in which ABA should not change?

    Please review and follow the assignment requirements in the next tab titled Assignment Details.

    Your assignment should be 810 pages, not including the title and reference pages, and should include the following elements:

    • Title Page: Provide the assignment title, your name, course and section number, instructor name, and date.
