  • 6.4 Refinement and Reinforcement

    You have spent the past several weeks learning about lesson planning and creative strategies to convey knowledge to students. Throughout your learning you have probably had thoughts about your ability as a teacher. For this assignment, take a few minutes to reflect on what you think your strengths will be as a teacher. Could you be an organized and detailed planner? Maybe you think you will be a good disciplinarian. Next think about the areas you think may prove difficult. Maybe you have trouble coming up with questions that challenge students or perhaps you fear meeting all the diverse needs of your students.

    For this assignment, submit a word document consisting of two paragraphs. The first paragraph should reflect on your area of reinforcement, the area that you believe you will succeed in. The second paragraph should reflect on your area of refinement, the area that you believe you will struggle with. Each paragraph should consist of 5-7 well-constructed sentences.

    Requirements: 2 paragraphs

  • Techincal report

    Following these guidelines and taking into account your classmate discussions as well as my feedback, please submit a document that describes the topic of your technical report work. I will be your audience for this assignment; please use the description, paragraphing, precise & concise, and if appropriate, citing skills you’ve practiced in your exercises this semester so far.

    Generally, this description will take 600-900 words, but every situation is different (some require more detail and explanation than others, so this is just a guideline rather than a requirement).

    Your document should include the following:

    1. Context Name and description — provide additional detail beyond your board posts so I understand this fully; location, size, and what is done here would be information I would find useful, for example; please note I am not looking for your responsibilities & experiences here in this section;

    2. Problem description (you can also include solutions/solution avenues, if appropriate);

    3. Decision-maker audience full name & title, as well as some descriptive text beyond your observations — here, I’m looking for facts (information that would be on a resume or LinkedIn profile, for instance) — education, publications, years in the industry are some examples; please do not include job responsibilities and general or soft traits (i.e., hard working) at this stage;

    4. Potential specific research avenues (name journals, researchers, experts and/or authors you want to investigate; at least one UMD database search should be reflected here); and

    And, very briefly:

    5. Your professional connection to the audience & context, if not already discussed in relation to the other points.

    Please use subheadings and then organize your information so it fits smoothly under the subheading you are using. Please use full sentences and not numbered or bulleted lists for this particular assignment. This is a paper, not a worksheet, so therefore, make sure you are using full paragraphs that flow smoothly together.

    In addition to the content you provide, I will be assessing you on the elements of writing we’ve practiced so far this semester: description; attention to audience; citing; paragraphing; and precise and concise writing.

    ——————

    This semester, the majority of the writing you will do in this class will be related to your Major Writing Assignment, the Technical Report. Below are the general steps you will consider as you approach this assignment.

    II. TECHNICAL REPORT

    Major Writing Assignment

    Summary

    Identify a real problem and provide a researched solution

    Steps:

    1) Identify a professional context preferably one you are familiar with (examples: workplace, internship, team, nonprofit/volunteer organization, local business such as a food truck, independent restaurant or coffee shop). Ideally, this will be a small, accessible-to-you context.

    2) Identify a problem within that context that could use solving.

    3) Identify a decision-maker audience: someone who is accessible to you who can take your advice and enact change the manager of the workplace, the owner of the food truck, the volunteer coordinator at the nonprofit, the team leader.

    4) Learn enough about the three above items context, problem, audience to describe them concisely and precisely in your

    5) Research potential solutions to the problem by using (at least 10) primary, popular, and scholarly sources (specifically, read scholarly articles about the big-picture problems; explore popular articles and websites detailing other organizations who have successfully tackled similar problems; talk to your audience and other people who work in the context to get their experiences with the problem, find out what theyve tried already and what they think is feasible; talk to experts in the solutions you identify beyond your context and ask them questions about your ideas for solving the problem).

    6) Write a cohesive document to the audience focusing on the solutions you recommend. This will involve some problem and research description, but the emphasis here should be on the steps you are suggesting that your audience should take description, logistics, evidence from research showing why these solutions should work.

    In some cases, your final document will resemble a guide — a specific set of instructions that are written directly for a small, identified, accessible audience. This is a rare solution that will need to be discussed with and approved by me specifically. Please see

    Student organizations, including social fraternities, professional fraternities, and campus clubs, play an important role in university communities by providing opportunities for leadership development, networking, community service, and philanthropy. At large universities, these organizations vary in size from small groups of 20 members to larger organizations with over 100 active participants. They are typically led by student executive boards that oversee operations, event planning, budgeting, and member engagement.

    A major component of many student organizations is philanthropy and fundraising. Groups often host charity events such as donation drives, social events, community partnerships, and awareness campaigns to support nonprofit organizations and social causes. These events not only raise funds but also help organizations build a positive reputation on campus and strengthen member involvement.

    Because student organizations operate with leadership that changes frequently, usually on a yearly basis, planning processes and organizational knowledge are often passed down informally. While many groups are successful in hosting events, there is often little standardization in how philanthropy efforts are planned, executed, and evaluated. This creates an opportunity to examine how structured planning systems could improve efficiency and overall impact across different types of student organizations.

    • You should respond to at least two of your peers by extending, refuting/correcting, or adding additional nuance to their posts. Your reply posts are worth 2 points (1 point per response.)

  • Final Project Draft

    This is a continuation of all the weeks assignments all in one. It is a rough draft.

    I have attached the template. You should be able to copy the previous weeks assignments in the designated areas.

    The only change is about Chapter Four. I did not receive a favorable grade, unfortunately. The professor left this comment: “The chapter presents a coherent structure and includes the essential components of an evaluation plan. However, several areas need deeper explanation, clearer justification, and stronger alignment with research standards.”

    I have uploaded the literature review for the paper. Now i need someone to do the continuation for the paper.

    For my thesis, my professor told me the following:

    We should analyze papers on the following topics at a research level:

    1) Distribution prisoner dilemma

    2) Minority games

    3) Alice and Bob in cryptography

    He gave me the specific template that I have attached so that the thesis would be in the correct format.

    The other thing that was emphasized in the discussion was that we should avoid talking about the

    And that the analysis of the articles should be more research-based and not so much based on social criteria.

    Step #1: Read any three (3) of the five articles listed below on the movie CODA (2021). (You can find these articles at the links below. Pdf. copies are also attached at the end of the discussion prompt.)

    • Amanda Morris, New York Times Review:
    • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post Review:
    • Richard Brody, New York Post Review:
    • Owen Glieberman, Variety Review,
    • Tomris Laffly, Ebert Review,

    Step #2: Review the worksheet on using a synthesis matrix featured in this week’s Content.

    Step #3: Complete a synthesis matrix (attached below) for the three articles you’ve read. This includes:

    • Identify at least three (3) main ideas or topics covered by the reviews (e.g., plot, actors, bias, etc.)
    • Take notes on what the critics write about these main ideas (e.g., “Critic 1 praises the plot as interesting” and “Critic 2 finds the plot too contrived”)
    • Jotting down quotes that support your observations (e.g., “Critic 3 writes, ‘The story has movie-goers at the edge of their seats the whole three hours”)

    Step #4: Identify at least two key issues or questions that are particularly problematic or controversial or striking or worthy of exploring. These would be issues/questions that can be supported by at least two of the articles. They may be points on which the critics agree or disagree, issues that weren’t adequately addressed, or ideas that are explored in the reviews (e.g., “What did the critics think about the actors’ performances?” or “Discussion of bias in the movie’s portrayal of deaf culture”). Ask yourself, what ideas/issues that are shared among the articles might be interesting to pursue further? Using specific quotations and transitional phrases, discuss how the reviewers’ opinions are similar or different.

    Step #5: Explain how the reviews play out these issues (1-2 sentences). What are the critics’ positions on these issues? What was stated/not stated? What other questions does this issue introduce? (For example, for “Why didn’t the critics recognize the cinematography?” you might write about how one critic barely mentioned the cinematography, while another stated how it was overrated, focusing more on the acting. Remember to cite the authors using APA in-text citations. ) In a paragraph, discuss how reviewers approached topics and themes in the films. You can use specific quotes and cite the reviews in text using APA guidelines.

    Note that a sample response to this discussion, based on three reviews of Danny Boyle’s _Steve Jobs_, appears in the Content for this week.

    Step #6: Post your matrix, your two issues/questions, and your 1-2 sentence analysis.
