Guidelines for Reaction Papers

Reaction Paper Guidelines

The reaction paper is your first intervention for this course. I believe these papers will help you develop more self-awareness. And this is crucial for your well-being and relationships. Your reaction paper should be based on watching/listening to the required pre-recorded lecture, which are below each Module. Reference a minimum of three journal articles (state title) and relate each to a personal experience in your reaction paper, which you write about. I do not want a summary or an explanation of a concept or theory, textbook chapter, or my lecture. Integrate journal articles, concepts, theories explained in my pre-recorded lectures to understand your personal experience.

One page or more is required to earn 10 points. Be open to the experience of developing your narrative identity, your evolving life story, by reacting with describing a personal experience. There is no particular format necessary. Font size should be 12. Acceptable font styles include Times New Roman, Ariel, or Courier. And your margins should be no more than 1. And double spaced. I have provided the youtbe vidoes below along with the articles needed. it only let me add 4 articles as it says i reached my limit on study pool

I did not do well on my previous reaction paper and I will add the feedback she provided:

(You need to reference at least three journal articles from the required pre-recorded lecture for the reaction paper for chapter 2, Addendum. Watch and listen to this pre-recorded lecture. Reference the research evidence (state the titles of at least 3 journal articles from the required pre-recorded lecture), provide your own brief explanation of what you think the journal article is about and then describe a related personal experience.)

Discussion Prompt

Pregnancy Discrimination

Part of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act is the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA). The focus of a PDA claim is whether an employer’s policy treats pregnant workers less favorably than it treats non-pregnant workers who are similar in their ability or inability to work; or whether an employer subjects a pregnant worker to a materially adverse employment action, including a hostile work environment, because of pregnancy. Most state laws are similar.

Read attached Case Study Evidence File:

This week we are discussing the attached Simulation – Case Study, according to current U.S. discrimination laws. This Case Study is a copy of material from the case file of the terminated employee’s attorney, who is preparing to sue the employer. In your initial main post develop the following:

1. The Simulation presents evidence in meeting notes, conversations, and emails. Do you find evidence of pregnancy discrimination in employment? For example, for evidence: what can you anticipate will be testimony in the case? Who would you depose? What will be written evidence?
2. Analyze the employer’s conduct throughout the time period represented in the Simulation. Based on this Simulation recommend one (1) take-away lesson you would advise businesses for managing employment of pregnant workers.
3. Note: Support your ideas with your learning materials and any research you wish to include. Remember, APA citations are not required.

Helpful Study Resource

I need to do this assignment based on the requirements below for the attached study. It required a report and a PowerPoint presentation.

For this assignment, you will be asked to critically examine one of the weekly articles assigned in the class. This assignment will require you to critically assess the article according the theoretical lens, research methods, results, and implications of the study. Your paper should be formatted according to APA, and it should be between 3–4 pages (not including the cover page). The in–class presentation should last between 20 and 25 minutes as you discuss the summary of the article and your critique of the scholars work.

Evaluate the Text

After you have read the article, you should have a good understanding of the research undertaken. You can now begin to evaluate the author’s research. Making judgements about someone else’s work is often the most difficult part of writing the review. Some graduate students feel that, because they are new to a discipline, they do not have enough knowledge to make judgements of other people’s work. However, learning to be a critical reader and reviewer of scholarly work is an important skill to develop. Please consider the following when critiquing the article.

INTRODUCTION

Read the statement of purpose at the end of the introduction. What was the objective of the study?

Consider the title. Does it precisely state the subject of the paper?

Read the statement of purpose in the abstract. Does it match the one in the introduction?

Check the sequence of statements in the introduction. Does all the information lead coherently to the purpose of the study?

THEORY

In terms of theory, did the study employ a theoretical framework? If so, was it the most applicable?

Would other theories have potentially also helped guide the study?

METHODS

Review all methods in relation to the objective(s) of the study. Are the methods valid for studying the problem?

Check the methods for essential information. Could the study be duplicated from the methods and information given?

Check the methods for flaws. Is the sample selection adequate? Is the experimental design sound?Check the sequence of

statements in the methods. Does all the information belong there? Is the sequence of methods clear and pertinent?

RESULTS

Examine carefully the data as presented in the tables and diagrams. Does the title or legend accurately describe the content? Are column headings and labels accurate? Are the data organized for ready comparison and interpretation? (A table should be self–explanatory, with a title that accurately and concisely describes content and column headings that accurately describe information in the cells.)

Review the results as presented in the text while referring to the data in the tables and diagrams. Does the text complement, and not simple repeat, data? Are there discrepancies between the results in the text and those in the tables?

Check all calculations and presentation of data.

Review the results considering the stated objectives. Does the study reveal what the researcher intended?

DISCUSSION

Check the interpretation against the results. Does the discussion merely repeat the results? Does the interpretation arise logically from the data or is it too far–fetched? Have the faults/flaws/shortcomings of the research been addressed?

Is the interpretation supported by other research cited in the study?

Does the study consider key studies in the field?

Are there other research possibilities/directions suggested?

Does this study squarely address how this article is a communication study and how it advances theory and research within our discipline? (adapted from Kuyper, 1991)

Writing your Critique

You have completed your analysis and evaluation of the journal article. How do you then put all this information together? If your instructor has not provided a format for your critique, there are two possible ways you might present it.

Introduction: In the introduction, cite the journal article in full and provide a brief summary of the journal article. Use the answers to the questions in the section Analyze the Text to develop the summary.

Body: Follow the structure of the journal article. Evaluate each section of the article Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each section. Use the answers to the questions above to develop this section.

Conclusion: In this section, sum up the strengths and weaknesses of the research as a whole. Establish its practical and theoretical significance.

Directions modified from –assistance/writing/specific–types–papers/using–scientific–journal–article–write–critical–review

These are corrections my professor sent me and now the methods section of the essay which is supposed to be surveyed from students ( the questions that are asked should be in the student exempt review request link) tbh I think I did it wrong lnk if u need new questions and i need to re do it and he thinks I should change my questions at the end which is in the corrections of the essay which you will see once gone through

He also sent me this email “You submitted your IRB permission form and the informed consent page that would be part of your data collection, but those usually have to be updated to match the Method section. That is what I suggest you work on for now. And I have sent your corrections over aswell”

These are the directions This paper has two requirements: (1) making corrections (based on my feedback) to the Section 1 paper and (2) writing a Method section. The Method section is where you explain in detail how you will collect data to test your hypotheses or answer your research questions. Include at least one appendix that includes your data collection instrument (e.g., a blank version of your survey, codebook, interview questions, etc.). This paper should include Section 1 and add a Method section. This second paper should be 9 to 11 pages long, not including the Title Page, References section, or appendices. Write this in past tense.

Make sure your (A) Literature Review lead to your hypotheses and/or research questions, (B) hypotheses and/or research questions include clear independent and dependent variables, and (C) independent and dependent variables lead to your method design and data collection instruments.

Includes:

1. a title page (corrected)

2. on a new page, a -page introduction (corrected)

3. continuing after the introduction (not on a new page), a 6 to 8 page Literature Review (corrected)

4. continuing after the Literature Review (not on a new page), a -page list of at least 3 research questions and/or hypotheses (corrected)

o including each independent variable (corrected)

o including each dependent variable (corrected)

5. continuing after hypotheses or research questions (not on a new page), a 1- to 3-page Method section, including:

o description of sample, the population the sample represents, and how:

if researching people, how people will be contacted to participate in study (e.g., by email, in-person)

if researching content, how content will be collected (e.g., watching movies, reading lyrics, etc.)

o description of data collection instrument(s), including how they connect to independent and dependent variables

6. on a new page, a 2-page References section (corrected)

7. on a new page, at least one Appendix including blank copy of data collection instrument(s)

Notes: You cannot collect data until after you have completed CITI training, have received Institutional Review Board approval, and your Method section is approved. Sample sizes depend on research objectives and methods, but, generally follow these guidelines. Sample sizes that are too low impact grades for the Final Thesis, as your work is graded based on what is accomplished, not based on what is attempted.

If interviewing, sample at least 3 interviewees

If conducting a focus group, sample at least two groups of at least 5 respondents each

If conducting a content analysis, sample at least 15 pieces of content each from at least two content types

If conducting a survey, sample at least 75 respondents

If conducting an experiment, sample at least two groups of 8 participants each

Discussion 5B: Trends, Norms, and Normcore

In this section of the module, we’ve been thinking about a couple of key things that might not initially seem connected: the role of creativity in advertising and the emerging sector of trend forecasting as a key part of modern consumerism that works hand in hand with advertising to promote continuous consumption. Though it is a relatively small and often unfamiliar field that isn’t necessarily considered part of traditional advertising, trend forecasting and the forecasters/futurists who are part of it have an enormous amount of influence on which consumer goods get produced and how those goods are advertised.

Before this discussion assignment, watch the video by clicking the link below:

In the vidio, a fashion buyer talks about how he believes the trend forecasting industry impacts his field and the fashion industry at large. Talking about the early 2010s fashion trend called “normcore” (formally defined as: “post-authenticity coolness that opts in to sameness”) he argues that the research- and data-driven approaches of forecasters reduce creativity and invite sameness across the consumer fashion world.

(One of the points of his analysis–that “normcore” started as a joke but got picked up by manufacturers and advertisers anyway–is disputed in the trend community, but his larger argument–that a reliance on trend data forecasters reduces individuality and creativity, works without it. is a brief Vox explainer of normcore, while is the original report from trend forecasting group K-HOLE that coined the term “normcore.”)

For this discussion, please write a 225 words discussion in response to the following question:

How is trend forecasting similar to and different from advertising as a force that promotes consumption and shapes sociocultural norms? Do you agree or disagree with the argument in the video that trend forecasting reduces creativity? Or, might it be an alternate way of understanding creativity? Use specific quotes from the video and/or reading about trend forecasting.
