Does the writer ignore any information in the text that might call his or her conclusions into question?

Assignment 7: Mini Internet Research Report

Almost all major poetry is posted and analyzed at various Internet websites, as I�m sure you know. However, the quality of these sites varies widely as to their reliability.

Choose one of the 6 poems we have read and discussed for WEEK 5, Sons and Lovers —

“My Papa’s Waltz”
“Those Winter Sundays”
“Dover Beach”
“To His Coy Mistress”
“Bitch”
“The Man Under the Bed”

Using the evaluation criteria below, choose 2 sites — a reliable site and an unreliable site � to report on.

When you choose your �good site� really look at the interpretations closely according to the criteria below. Also look at the “credentials” of the writer. Even a so-called expert in literature may not be very reliable if his/her interpretation is a pronouncement rather than an analysis.

Criteria for Evaluation:

1. First of all, ask yourself: Just who is this writer? What can you find out about him or her? What is the purpose of the website on which you find the information?

To find out about the writer, google him or her. Or work backward on the website: for instance, say you have the address usc.edu/smith/english233/poetry. Eliminate the “english233/poetry” section of the URL: you might find yourself at Professor Smith’s site where you can find out more about her.

2. Does the writer supply enough examples to support his or her conclusions? (In fact, what are his/her conclusions?)

3. Does the writer acknowledge and refute the most obvious arguments against his or her position? (What are these arguments?)

4. Does the writer ignore any information in the text that might call his or her conclusions into question? (What is that information?)

You should present this project to me in the form of a report entitled Research Project: and the name and author of the poem.

Click HERE for more information on site evaluation. HERE for information on quoting poetry.

You should use the following headings in your report:

A. Site #1: a reliable interpretation. Name of site and URL.

�Description of the site, its author, his or her credentials, and how you found out the information about the author.
�Summary of what is said about the poem.
�Evaluation of the interpretation of the poem considering the criteria listed above. You should quote correctly from the site to illustrate your points.
�Note: Be careful to use quotation marks to distinguish your words from the exact words at the site or in the poem.
B. Site #2: an unreliable interpretation: Name of site and URL.

As an investigator of alleged abuse/neglect, what does ICWA require you to do first?

The right of a parent to decide how to raise their children is considered a fundamental right, which means that government interference with that right must be for a compelling reason such as child abuse or neglect. In the case of Native American children

Type: Individual Project 3

Unit: Investigating Abuse Cases

Due Date: Mon, 12/7/15

Deliverable Length: 2-3 pages

The right of a parent to decide how to raise their children is considered a fundamental right, which means that government interference with that right must be for a compelling reason such as child abuse or neglect. In the case of Native American children, children were often removed from their tribal homes and placed in child welfare systems throughout the nation that were not culturally similar. In response to this, the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was passed in 1978.

As the CPS investigator you have learned that Anne may possibly have Native American ancestry. This is your first case regarding a child from a Native American ancestry, so you will need to research the provisions of ICWA to ensure you are well informed. You are asked by your supervisor to write a 2-3 page paper outlining your knowledge of the following:

the history of ICWA
ICWA provisions
ICWA requirements

Answer the following questions:

As an investigator of alleged abuse/neglect, what does ICWA require you to do first?
How would Anne’s lineage be determined?
Can Anne be removed from her home and placed in foster care if she is of Native American descent?

Please submit your assignment.

Activity Instructions

Based on the information you gathered in your process identification assignment in Unit 1, you selected a process to carry forward through the remainder of your Operations Improvement Plan (OIP) project. The process selected should lend itself to an in-depth analysis and should be important to Toyota.

In this assignment, write a report analyzing the organizational problem and the process you have identified for your OIP. Outline your process improvement idea, including the following elements:

Problem statement: What exactly needs to be improved? Use problem framing and cause-and-effect analysis to develop a brief, preliminary problem statement. Note: You will expand your problem statement in the Unit 3 assignment.
Background of the issue: Detail relevant historical data, including how long the problem has been occurring, and what it is costing the organization. Note: You are not expected to provide specific data results at this early stage of your investigation.
Implications: What could happen if the problem continues as it is? What could happen if the process is improved? Outline both tangible and intangible pros and cons for improving the issue or ignoring it. Identify some potential general business results and impacts on business relationships.
Desired outcome: How will your new process be different from the old? What competitive advantages will it yield? How will it impact stakeholders? Consider the cost-benefits of the process improvement, estimating how much will it cost the organization and outlining how costs will be offset by the benefits derived.

The trip could be for pleasure or a business venture and in any era past, present, or future. It’s up to you to decide that part of the scenario – be creative and have fun!

Final Project

For this project, pretend you’re going to go on a trip to visit three places. You should have estimated costs for transportation, hotels, and meals.

Create a spreadsheet to calculate the total costs for each item, total cost, and percent of the total used for each item. Be sure to label columns and rows so it is clear what is in your spreadsheet. Also, type in your formulas and use functions to do your calculations.

Armed with that information, write a letter to a long lost rich uncle to see if he will fund this much needed trip. The letter should be properly formatted with the date, salutation, and signature. There should be a bulleted list in the letter and also a table which summarizes the costs.

You should also create a slideshow presentation to go along with the letter to the uncle explaining the trip plans and the benefits of this trip. The presentation should include images and at least one bullet list. Slide transitions should also be included. Don’t forget about all that you have learned. For instance, you could create a graph or chart and copy and paste it into your presentation if that would benefit your presentation.

The trip could be for pleasure or a business venture and in any era past, present, or future. It’s up to you to decide that part of the scenario – be creative and have fun!

For your submission, zip together the three files, the spreadsheet, the letter, and the presentation, into a file entitled YourLastNameWeek8.zip. Upload this file into the assignment area.

Identify a few of the advantages and disadvantages in employing animals in this area of research.

Assignment 2: Discussion—Animal Testing

Animals have long been used to study learning and behavior. However, over the past couple of decades, the use of animals in research has become quite controversial leading to a debate on whether we should continue to conduct research with animals as test subjects or simply stop research into the different areas where there is no viable alternative.

As part of your research for this discussion, conduct an Internet search to see what you can discover about animals in research. Use the following phrase for your Internet search:

“Ethical guidelines for using animals in research”

By placing quotation marks around the phrase you are searching for, your search engine will be more effective in locating relevant results.

Based on your readings in Module 1, address the following questions:

Identify a few of the advantages and disadvantages in employing animals in this area of research.
Highlight the ethical issues that have been a cause for concern when dealing with the use of animals for research purposes.
Describe what a behavioral psychologist must do in order to ensure proper ethical and physical care of their research animals.
Suggest a few alternatives to using animals in research.

Write your initial response in 3–4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
