SCS 285 Project Two Guidelines and Rubric

Competency

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

• Analyze the benefits and drawbacks of collecting various types of data

Scenario

You have recently applied for another position in the company you work for and have been called in for a second interview! For this round, youve been asked by the interview committee to present an analysis of the collected data from the research you initially reviewed, with a specific focus on data-collection types. This will be presented in a formal interview presentation.

Directions

Second Interview Presentation
You are analyzing studies related to a research topic in your field by discussing different types of data collection, their benefits and drawbacks, and how your chosen research studies utilize different collection methods. In your first project, completed in Module Four, you completed your initial analysis of the methodologies used. In your second milestone, also submitted in Module Four, you finalized your research choices by submitting two of each type of research methodology and flexing your skilled consumer of research skills by looking at your gathered research as a whole in order to identify patterns in data-collection types and some high-level credibility threats to the research. For this project, complete the following:

1. Describe the attributes of a skilled consumer of research. Include the following:
   1. The most helpful perspectives a consumer can utilize
   2. A description of how you know when you have enough information
   3. A description of how you scrutinize the credibility of data
2. Identify multiple potential threats to the credibility of your research results for each of your selected research studies. Include the following:
   • A description of potential biases or perspectives that might threaten the credibility of the results
   • An explanation of ethical issues that might threaten the credibility of the resultsconsider the following:
     1. Disclosure
     2. Blind or double-blind studies
     3. Cultural awareness
     4. Humane treatment of subjects
     5. Unethical structuring of studies (methods, selection, etc.)
3. Analyze the relationship of data-collection types to social science research methodologies. Use your analysis from Milestone Two in Module Four. Include the following:
   • The most commonly used quantitative data-collection types in social sciences based on your analysis of your research articles. Consider why this choice of data collection method might be so common.
   • The least commonly used quantitative data-collection types in social sciences based on analysis of your research articles. Consider why this choice of data collection method might be less common.
   • The most commonly used qualitative data-collection types in social sciences based on analysis of your research articles. Consider: why might this choice of data collection method be so common?
   • The least commonly used qualitative data-collection types in social sciences based on analysis of your research articles from Consider: why might this choice of data collection method be less common?
4. Explain the relevance of various data-collection types to research question(s). Include the following:
   • A classification of the data in each studyis it quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methodology? Be sure to include an example of each methodology.
   • An explanation of why this data-collection type fits well with the research question from your chosen studies from Milestone Two in Module Four

Traditionally male professions

Women entering male dominated music professions face added barriers. You see this pattern clearly in orchestral conducting. The symphony orchestra values continuity, its structure has changed little over time, and institutions protect long standing traditions. Programming often favors familiar works, and new approaches face resistance. Women operate inside systems shaped by historical authority. Leaders such as William Schuman influenced Juilliard and Lincoln Center, their models emphasized stability and control, and these values still guide decision making. Leadership roles reflect established norms, and those norms favor people who match past expectations. Economic pressure intensifies these limits. Orchestras struggle to fill seats, financial strain drives caution, and administrators avoid choices viewed as risky. Hiring follows familiar paths, and women face greater scrutiny in this climate. Conducting signals authority, tradition links authority with male experience, and women must prove competence more often and more publicly. Modern traditionalists aim to advance music while preserving structure, and this balance affects leadership access. Institutions promote modest and accessible programming, familiarity reassures audiences, familiar leadership reassures boards, and diversity moves slowly under these conditions. Change develops through visible action. Women work within the system rather than outside it, men in established roles support inclusion through advocacy, and their support reduces resistance. Institutions expand leadership standards over time, women establish authority through consistent performance, public success builds trust, and repeated engagement reshapes expectations. These efforts connect innovation with tradition. Observers see progress through gradual shifts, leadership norms evolve without rejecting the mainstream culture, and access increases through sustained evidence of skill and authority within contemporary concert music institutions shaped by tradition and innovation.

Do You ImaginE

You know if we were to look at the world of orchestral conducting, it would be so obvious that women often face challenges, and obstacles that their male colleagues don’t. Conducting music has definitely been a male dominated profession for a very long time, even today it’s as though people carry old assumptions about who looks like a leader. People often don’t or won’t look at women as Leaders. A male conductor can walk onto the podium, and people automatically trust his authority, but if a woman walks onto the podium the same way the man did and even stood in the same spot, she will have to prove herself before people would even think about her lifting the Baton. One of these major obstacles for a woman I believe is Stereotyping. Ther are quite a few people who still believe That Leadership has to look loud, and feel loud, people still believe it should be forceful or traditionally masculine, and they judge a woman much more harshly for the same behaviors as the man. Women conductors also have to deal with rude comments about certain things they wear, also what they look like, their overall appearance. If that’s not bad enough people talk about their personality, they poke fun at their gestures, the same gestures their male coworkers use. To top all these things off, there’s a lot less women mentors in that field, leads to fewer role models, without role models people will not open their door to women conductors. People that do the hiring are very bias, which to me is the biggest obstacle inn a woman’s way. There are a few orchestras that will try to be fair, but unconscienced bias can affect who will be invited to the auditions, who gets recommended and also who gets chosen for the big opportunities. I’m sure women feel extra pressure on them to balance a very demanding travel schedule, which come with expectations about family responsibilities. I’m thinking, in order to get these issues addressed, we would need both men and women to play a very big role in this plan. Women can continue pushing forward, also supporting one another during this time. Women need to start claiming their space, or place in the field. Men can be a big help to the women, by big help I mean mentoring these women. Men can call out the bias; they can treat a woman’s leadership as a completely normal thing to do while out in the field. When everybody works together, and has respect for one another, the field becomes more open, and fair. People will definitely be more focused on the actual talent, and not on the person’s gender.

As I think thoroughly about the early 20th C periods in the development of modern art, it becomes clear to my knowledge that they are alike our social and creative time period today in technique because of the fact that many North American artists had experimented with diverse modern styles. Whereas these artists had gained patrons and recognition. Additionally, the vibrant and creative environment of music, theater, visual art, fiction, poetry and dance are still significantly relevant to our social and creative time period today regarding the technique that accompanies the creativity and purpose(s) when using these techniques. On the other hand, I think the content is alike our social time period today as well regarding the African past to present day Americas despite enslavement and discrimination faced during those times. Specifically, Jacob Lawrence’s “The Migration Series,” emphasizes the experience of Black Southerners who moved North during the Great Migration which is extremely relevant to our history in art and despite the relevance of this time in our history, the creative technique and content used to emphasize the experience of this migration can also be used to emphasize the experience of other things within art history as it’ll give the viewers and audience an emotional understanding alongside narrative context altogether. Furthermore, North American art of 1920s and 1930s shows a sense of place which depicts local scenery and people which is alike our creative time period today in both technique and content regarding the sculptures, landscapes, and abstract forms that can be used/made which are usually inspired by nature and/or the realistic scenery of one’s (an artist’s) perspective on the world around them. Overall, there are various techniques that are alike our social and creative time period today which can be visually seen and/or represented through the use of painting, sculpting, and using found objects while reinventing the techniques and contents of early modern art that are still being used presently today despite reinventions.

Hi everyone,

I’m a mom of eight kids, babies all the way up to 17 years old. I’d like to see what you classmates might have to say about the art I’ve seen today on video games and online social media. Media has all categories down like movies/story telling, commercials/propaganda, music videos/poetry. But where I see modern art of today is from the social online culture.

Back then, artists had ancient cultural art and renaissance to first inspire them, and when the world changed from war and industrialism, there was a pain and fear and anger driven voice in the new forms of art being introduced. Whether surrealism and abstraction was trying to bring attention to the unconscious mind or dadaism was trying to give a big middle finger to the world’s injustice, it was pretty ground breaking to say the least of those times. Putting shape and color to feelings and music or spiritual contact into a visual, to make objects with no true function but for display and inspiration, to create collages of political faces attached with the war machines they made; it was art with a message. It feels like to me, all I see online is abstraction art from every angle.

First, lets just admit how out of control ‘fan-made’ art is, for those dopamine pleasure seekers. These artist are really trying to create their fantasies and ‘what if’ scenerios of their favorite characters or idols. But it shows how copying is a form of flattery.

Next is I think, the really absurd brain rot, that I feel was first inspired by early online art of creepy pastas, they’re kind of like myth brought to life. But its really disturbing and sad to see these are the nightmares of our young generation. To name a few, Slenderman, sirenhead, skibbidi toilet, and every other brain rot popping up on YouTube, TikTok, and reddit. Its like a inherited nightmare and trauma that just keeps getting more and more twisted as the generations go on. Proof we all need a little therapy or a lot. Here is our form of surrealism and abstract.

And of course we have to love our future young leaders, the ones who force the message to be seen through graffiti or protest art. That art always has some recognizable achievements we can all appreciate. Topics like racism, gender fluidity, right to personal beliefs, unusual lifestyles, and number one: unjustice. The punk rock of art, like dadaism.

And lastly I’d like to mention, is the video game art. Art you can interact with, play within its dimensions, experience a confrontation so terrifying or embarrassing, and grow from it. Situations you would certainly avoid in real life, and hallucinations you can experience without the use of substance and harm on your body. That doesn’t mean its completely safe to put ourselves in these mind altering states. More surrealism and abstraction.

But I feel I’ve made it very clear how modern art from back then, is sort of the same now but the part that makes our modern art different in this period, its not just the technology giving way and easy to use tools to make art, but it might be a little too strong on its impact on our minds today. So much and sometimes all at once, we move from one art onto the next without getting to really process what we’ve just gazed into before we set our eyes on the next imagination high.

I truly feel art is so impressionable and influential, we don’t see the true power it holds and how unsupervised, the damage it can cause as well. Art is a power that needs to be reveranced with wisdom. It is a super power. Its the key to the display of our souls. Let us remember that. Lets try imagining things for the better and then give a blue print or show of that vision. Lets envision the hopes we all want in society and mankind to build towards in the future. I challenge you new artists, it is way too easy to make negative outcomes.

Art can be too revealing and we accidentally put ourselves up for mock and shame. So maybe we should hold art closer to ourselves in a sacred and more intimate way, only those closest to us should have permission to see that hidden side of ourselves. I’m not saying what is hidden is bad, it could be beautiful too, but the world is a cruel place and that is exactly why we should try to make it less cruel. And I have to say be aware of this new changing world, AI can do much harm to our image and reputation. Discretion is advised, hide your face. You as a person is more valuable then the art we put out. Don’t let the world make you feel you have to earn recognition. We can make good profound changes in the world, without ever having to show our faces and names, be humble, let art build each other up, not break each other down. Art is a double edge sword, you may want to cut one way, but it could still cut another unintentionally. Behind every art, there’s an intention. Do not examine naively.
