    Overview

    In your previous readings about object and process modeling, you learned about the importance of different diagrams in system design. You also learned about the importance of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), which is used to communicate to different types of stakeholders, including clients, businesspeople, and developers. Different types of UML diagrams represent different views of a system.

    In this assignment, you will focus more specifically on two types of UML diagrams: a UML activity diagram and a UML sequence diagram. You will be asked to interpret the diagrams, which will help reinforce an understanding of how these diagrams are used to communicate a systems design. You will also be asked to make improvements to one of the diagrams, which will help support your work in creating your own UML activity and sequence diagrams for Project Two.

    Prompt

    In this assignment, you will analyze one use case of an ATM. You will be asked to interpret the UML activity and sequence diagrams for this use case. Then you will make improvements to one of the UML diagrams using a CASE tool.

    1. Review the following UML activity and sequence diagrams. Remember, both diagrams describe the same use case, just from different viewpoints. A version with alternative text is also available: .
    2. Write a short, paragraph-length response interpreting the diagrams. Be sure to address the following questions:
    • What use case is being described by these diagrams?
    • What interactions are involved in this use case? What information is being passed back and forth?
    1. These diagrams describe one basic design for this use case. Analyze the design by identifying at least two deficiencies in the logic or functionality of the current design. Think about ways that you could address these deficiencies to improve the logic or functionality of the design.
    2. Choose one of the deficiencies that you identified. Then reconstruct a UML activity or sequence diagram to improve functionality. Use the CASE tool Lucidchart to reconstruct the diagram. Be sure to use proper UML notation and diagram flow.

    What to Submit

    Submit your assignment as a Word document. Be sure to include all parts of your assignment in the Word document: diagram interpretation (one paragraph), design analysis (at least two improvements), and your reconstructed UML activity or sequence diagram.

  • db peds

    As an advanced practice nurse, you will encounter patients across the lifespanfrom infants to older adults, including those who are pregnant. A competent and compassionate clinician understands that physical exams must be adapted based on age, developmental stage, and physiological changes. This assignment encourages you to reflect on these adaptations and explore the clinical reasoning behind them.

    Instructions:

    • Initial Post (Due by Wednesday 11:59pm):
    • In your initial post describe one key variation you might find on a pediatric or geriatric or pregnant patient and how this would affect your physical exam from the HEENT module (see your specific group below). Describe the variation and why this occurs (the anatomy/physiology or pathophysiology behind your rationale). Review if there is any adaption to your PE exam due to this if applicable. Be sure to incorporate clinical reasoning and reference relevant anatomy, physiology, or patient-centered considerations in your rationale.
    • Students with last names starting with:
    • A-I: Initial post should be on pediatric patient

  • Vocational Assessment

    For your Vocational Assessment Project, you will have to freedom to pick a stranger, friend, or family member to use as your “client.” The Vocational Assessment (or Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) as it is known in public VR) is an amazing tool used by Rehabilitation Counselors to understand the needs that the client may have. Many times the client is not able to express their needs fully, or they may not understand they have a specific needs that you can assist them with. The CNA will allow you to target key areas to build a case plan for a client which will lead to successful competitive integrated employment. Documents required for use in this project can be found below and in their own page (Vocational Assessment Project Materials) in CANVAS. You are required to complete each document provided based on responses from your “client” and then develop a cohesive Vocational Assessment Report that provides the history, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and best vocational direction for your subject. Your Vocational Assessment Report will follow the format listed in the “Suggested Format for Vocational Assessment Report” document. All areas outlined must be covered. If completed thoroughly, your report should be at least 4 to 6 pages, if not longer as there will be a great deal of material to summarize from your interviews and research. You may reference your text but you are required to utilize at least 4 additional resources such a Professional research journals and professional websites such as the O’Net. Prioritize your searches to current/recent documents (e.g., preferably within the past 10-15 years). Do not rely on web-based sites only you are expected to review the professional literature about your topic (e.g., professional journals and texts). Each paper is expected to be logically organized, grammatically correct, proofread, and neat. Your Narrative paper must be submitted as a WORD document using APA format (Cover page and reference pages are required and not included in total page count). In addition, you will have the PDF documents from the Materials as attachments to include.

  • Designing a research study

    Overview

    This capstone is designed to encourage your synthesis of key developmental issues, stages, theories, concepts, and research methods in early or middle adulthood and to integrate and critical scientific reasoning in designing a new research study.

    Learning Outcomes

    By completing this capstone, you will learn how to:

    • Define key issues, stages, and theories in developmental science from a lifespan perspective.
    • Identify key biological, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes that occur in your selected developmental stage (early adulthood or middle adulthood).
    • Define key issues relevant to your developmental stage from a lifespan perspective.
    • Compare and contrast major developmental theories about key tasks in stages of .
    • Explain major methods of data collection and research design in lifespan developmental psychology
    • Integrate and scientific reasoning to develop novel and relevant research questions.

    Task

    First, you will select and explain a specific stage (early or middle adulthood) in terms of its typical age range and major developmental milestones (biological, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social).

    Then, you will identify a construct that is relevant to your chosen stage. A construct is a behavior, , or experience that can be studied in more detail. For example, key constructs in adulthood could include (but are not limited to) career development, formation, and parenting. You will explain what the construct is and how it is important to your chosen developmental stage.

    Next, you will select a theory that helps to explain your chosen construct in your chosen developmental stage. You may choose from Eriksons theory, information processing theory, theory, behavioral theory, or theory. Do not choose Piaget or Vygotsky for this capstone. Explain the major ideas in your chosen theory, and discuss how this theory helps to explain why your construct is important during your selected developmental stage.

    Finally, you will design a new study of your construct that could be conducted in your selected developmental stage. Use theory to guide the articulation of your research question and . Describe your population and how you would select the sample, the study design and general procedure, as well as what variables you would like to measure. You will also discuss the importance of conducting this new research and what it will add to our understanding of adult development.

    Please use this chart to help you organize your capstone:

    PartDescriptionTop Tips for SuccessPart I. Developmental Stage

    Reflect on which phase of adult development is most interesting to you:

    • Early adulthood
    • Middle adulthood

    Choose ONE stage to focus on for this capstone.

    First, create a header for this section (e.g., Developmental Stage).

    Then, in one paragraph: Articulate your selected developmental stage using a strong topic sentence. Then, in 3-4 sentences that follow, explain the major developmental milestones (i.e., biological, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social milestones) that occur during your selected stage.

    Be specific in this paragraphmake sure to be very clear when articulating and explaining your chosen developmental stage.

    Define and give concrete examples of each type of milestone (biological, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social).

    Part 2. Construct of Interest

    Think about the key characteristics of your chosen developmental stage. What aspect is most interesting to you (biological, physical, cognitive, emotional, social)? Now consider a construct (e.g., a specific behavior, , or experience) that piques your curiosity. Select ONE construct that has relevance to your chosen developmental stage.

    First, create a header for this section (e.g., Construct of Interest).

    Then, in one or two paragraphs: Explain the construct in detail. Define and discuss your chosen construct in 3-4 sentences. Then, in another 3-4 sentences, explain why this construct is important to your chosen developmental stage by exploring how it relates to biological, physical, cognitive, emotional, and/or social growth during this time.

    This part of the capstone asks you to do two things. Be sure to fully explain the construct AND discuss how it impacts development during this time.

    Be sure your construct is not too vague or general. Physical development would be too general, but declining physical strength may be specific and interesting enough to design a study about.

    Part 3. Developmental

    Think about the major theories of development you have learned about so far in this course:

    • Eriksons theory
    • Information processing theory
    • theory
    • Behavioral theory
    • theory

    (Remember: do not choose Piaget or Vygotsky). Which theory seems to have the most relevance for your developmental stage and the construct of interest you have selected? Do any of the theories help you understand why this construct is so important to development during this time?

    First, create a header for this section (e.g., Developmental).

    Then, in one paragraph: Describe the major ideas of your chosen theory in 3-4 sentences. Then, in another 3-4 sentences, discuss how this theory (and its major ideas) relates to your construct of interest. Be specific in your discussion.

    Remember that Part 3 requires you to define AND discuss a theory.

    Your theory definition will be academic and will rely on textbook content. Your discussion of how the theory applies to your experience will require your own creative thinking as an extension of the textbook content you review.

    Feel free to leverage a theory that may point you to new research questions about your construct.

    Part 4. A New Research Study

    Considering your stage, construct, and theory, reflect on what you do NOT yet know about the construct from the textbook. Let your creativity emerge, and allow yourself to wonder. What are you curious about? What does your selected theory tell you (or not tell you) about the construct?

    Create a research question and . Think about the type of participant sample you would need to recruit. What characteristics do you want them to have? How will you recruit them?

    Look at your research question and . What variables do you need to measure in order to answer this question?

    Finally, think about why this study is important to conduct and what it will add to the scientific literature on your topic.

    First, create a header for this section (e.g., A New Research Study).

    Then, in 2-3 paragraphs (of at least 3 sentences each): Articulate your research question as an actual question. Explain your (what is your expectation about the study results?). Discuss the type of research design you will use to address your question. Describe the sample and how it will be recruited. Explain the variables you will measure (and how you will measure them). Discuss why the study is important and what it will add to the literature.

    Read the instructions carefully! Do not skip any aspect of this section.

    If you are unclear about what a research question, , study design, sample, and/or variable is, look up this information in your textbook.

    Be sure to get specific about why the study is important to conduct and what it will add. Just because its interesting or new is not sufficient.
