  • Participation Activity 2

    Impact of Substance Exposures on the Developing Fetus (Lecture 7): As marijuana is being decriminalized and legalized in more places, use has increased. Additionally, some women report using it to treat morning sickness. Based on the readings, what do you think about its use? Write a paragraph clearly stating your opinion and cite class readings.

    Instructions for Participation Activities:

    The instructions for participation activities are detailed in full in your syllabus – important points are as follows:

    • Write a paragraph response between 350-500 words in length
    • Indicate which reading or what course content you are using for your answer (does not need to be a formal citation)
    • Each participation activity is graded on a scale of 0-10 points (2 points for readability/spelling/grammar, 4 points for fully answering the question, and 4 points for including info from your reading)
    • Your 2 lowest participation activity grades will be dropped so your top 6 out of 8 activities will count toward your final grade
    • The due date will be clearly marked on the syllabus and in brightspace.
    • Make sure that you are answering the prompt question and not simply summarizing the readings or lecture content
    • Clearly indicate when you are using a course reading to support an idea so that you receive credit for the third section of the rubric (e.g., “As discussed in the Zeanah chapter…”)
    • For Activity 2 (and all activities going forward), use the readings from the due date for the activity. So for Participation Activity 2, due on 2/10, use the required and/or optional readings from the “Impact of Substance Exposures on the Developing Fetus” lecture.

  • Week 4 Assignment: Developing a Qualitative Research Topic a…

    Overview

    In this assignment, you will develop a research topic appropriate for a qualitative study and formulate a corresponding research question. This activity is crucial in laying the foundation for your qualitative research by ensuring that your topic is well-defined and that your research question is aligned with qualitative methodology.

    Instructions

    • Identify and clearly define a research topic suitable for qualitative inquiry. Provide a brief background, with examples, that explains why this topic is significant–including your objectives (or purpose) in conducting the study–and how it fits within the scope of qualitative research.
    • Build on your research activity by stating a specific, open-ended research question that aligns with the chosen topic. Explain how this question is suitable for qualitative research and why it cannot be answered by quantitative methods.
    • Justify why the selected qualitative approach is the most appropriate for answering your research question compared with other potential qualitative methodologies. Discuss the characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of three potential qualitative methodologies (e.g., generic qualitative inquiry, case study, phenomenology) that could be used to explore this topic.
    • Discuss how your research question aligns with the overall research topic and objectives. Ensure that your question is focused, clear, and researchable within the scope of qualitative methods.
    • Include at least three scholarly references to support your topic choice and methodological justification.
    • Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the expectations for members in the identified field of study.

    Deliverable: Submit a 3-5 page paper (excluding references) that includes your research topic, research question, methodological justification, and alignment discussion.

    Requirements

    Your assignment should also meet the following requirements:

    • Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
    • Length of paper: 3-5 page paper (excluding references).
    • Resources: At least three scholarly resources. Include a reference page at the end of the paper.
    • APA guidelines: Double-spaced paragraph formatting in the body of the paper. When appropriate, use APA-formatted headings. References and citations are formatted according to current APA style and format. Use the
    • as the primary reference for formatting and writing. See the
    • for helpful APA resources.
    • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

    By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and rubric criteria:

    • Competency 1: Evaluate the characteristics, purposes, benefits, strengths, and weaknesses of qualitative research methods.
    • Define a research topic suitable for qualitative inquiry, and explain its significance.
    • Justify why a selected qualitative approach is the most appropriate for answering a research question compared with other potential qualitative methodologies.
    • Competency 4: Describe methods for data collection and analysis.
    • Discuss how a research question aligns with an overall research topic and objectives.
    • Competency 5: Apply qualitative research methodology.
    • State a specific, open-ended research question that aligns with a chosen topic.
    • Competency 6: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the expectations for members in the identified field of study.
