A number of people have complained of the need to “subscribe” or “pay” for copies of online articles. In some cases that may be so, although I have found that:
Downloadable articles can often be acquired at no charge.
Some online subscriptions are free, especially to students.
Most of these newspapers and magazines are available for free through the USF Library system, or any public library.
Some of these newspapers and magazines are available for purchase at local newsstands, Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc.

/in /by adminThis assignment will have you consider a variety of issues social scientists face when creating a new research design. DirectionsIn a word processing program (e.g. Word, Google Docs, etc.), thoroughly respond to the questions below, and save your document as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file. Identify and give an example of the four levels of measurement (examples should be different from those in the text and lesson).Racial bias (independent variable) is often discussed as a cause of the disproportionate arrests of people of color (dependent variable). Make a list of at least three other potential causes for the dependent variable. This does not necessarily mean that the independent variable chosen has no utility, it just means most social phenomenon sociologists study are complex. Is there any concern of spuriousness (that the independent variable is also caused by these other factors)?Is it possible to establish a causal relationship between the variables of interest using cross-sectional research, or is a longitudinal research design strategy needed? Why?How different would the research proposal be if the objective were to explore or describe, rather than explain, a particular social phenomenon of interest? Professor Root was studying the arrest rates for driving under the influence in urban and rural areas of Ohio. Data showed that the arrest rate was higher in rural areas. Professor Root concluded that people who live in rural areas are more likely to drive while intoxicated than are people who live in urban areas. What fallacy did Professor Root commit? How would you modify his conclusion to avoid this trap? Remember, part of being a good sociologist is communicating your ideas clearly, so please write in complete sentences, use appropriate vocabulary, explain your thoughts thoroughly, use proper punctuation and grammar, etc.

/in /by adminI’m stuck on a Communications question and need an explanation.To complete this APA practice assignment, first choose a current news story. Then, locate at least three (3) different versions of the news story from different (credible) sources. Be sure to avoid any sources that are likely to be conspiracy theory sites, bought-and-paid-for research, or any other type of “incredible” source.Second, you will be comparing the coverage of the general news story as it is laid out in the three different news sources. In one paragraph, briefly describe how each source discusses the basic story differently. Be sure to internally cite each of the three sources as they are discussed, and if you use any direct quotations be very clear in both quoting and citing those sources.Third, find two (2) scholarly sources that help illustrate the claim you are making about how the story is told differently in different sources. Scholarly sources to back your analysis will help reinforce the value of your claim. In a second paragraph, use these sources to explain what you see happening in the ways the news story is told, citing the two scholarly sources, and any of the news sources that are directly referenced again.Finally, write your reference page including all of the sources you cited in the two paragraph mini-essay. Be sure the reference page is correctly formatted in APA.If you choose to use the built-in Microsoft Word citation builder and/or the APA paper template, be sure you enter the information into the correct data sections. Journal titles, magazine titles, and other similar title entries are a common error people make using that technology. If you are using one of the library databases, it’s not always easy to find that information. If you have questions or are unsure, check with the professor or a librarian. They will be happy to help.

School District (2017): Implications of the US Supreme Courts Decision for Special Education Administration & Teachers†(1.5 hours)Respond to the 6 recommendations Dr. Yell presents at the end of the video. This activity is worth 20 points. Recommendation #1:Continue to train IEP teams to avoid procedural violations in the development of the IEP that could, in and of themselves, constitute a denial of FAPE.Recommendation #2: Ensure meaningful Parent involvement in the IEP meetings and that their opinions are considered in establishing their child’s educational/behavioral goals.Recommendation #3: When developing the content of a student’s IEP and subsequently reviewing and revising it, be sure that the present level of performance and annual goals are based upon evaluations and other relevant data that are current.Recommendation #4: Ensure that IEP goals are Challenging, appropriately ambiguous, and measurable.Recommendation #5: Continuously monitor and measure a child’s progress on annual goals (and objectives, bencharks, if applicable) and maintain specific data to demonstrate. Recommendation #6: When progress reports and other data do not reflect that an annual goal will be met, reconvene the IEP team to determine why, make needed changes, and continue to collect data. Consider the following questions in your response.How does this recommendation impact your daily practice as an educator, administrator, assessment staff, etc.?What questions or concerns do you have regarding this recommendation when working with students with Severe Disabilities?How did Endrew F clarify the standard for determining FAPE and educational benefit?What does “progress in light of the child’s circumstances” mean?

/in /by adminChapter 6. Products: Goods and Services.
Initial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter.Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.
Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:
Some companies have traditionally been known for their excellence in tangibles, e.g., Xerox in copiers, IBM in computers, who now describe themselves as primarily service companies. Do you agree? What does it take for a company to declare itself as a service organization (e.g., a percentage of business, a certain strategy or mission)? What would it take for you to believe such a claim?
[Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. Postings must be in the student’s own words – do not provide quotes!]
[Your initial post should be at least 750+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced). Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review]
Evaluation of posts and responses: Your initial posts and peer responses will be evaluated on the basis of the kind of critical thinking and engagement displayed. The grading rubric evaluates the content based on seven areas:
Content Knowledge & Structure, Critical Thinking, Clarity & Effective Communication, Integration of Knowledge & Articles, Presentation, Writing Mechanics, and Response to Other Students.

/in /by adminEach essay MUST be properly documented with parenthetical citations, which include the name of the author and the page number – there is no need for a works cited page, as the texts are all common. For the Textbook, (Hunt, page number) is sufficient. For the Sources book (Lualdi, page number).  If you want to cite the lectures, simply reference the name of the lecture (first slide of each lecture).Â
Only in the case you use outside sources do you need to have a works cited page but I strongly discourage you from using general webpages like Wikipedia. If you do use online sources you need to offer a link to them in your works cited page. As this is an exam, any instance of plagiarism or use of outside sources that are not cited will be reported to an Academic Integrity Officer. Any exam that has no citations will receive 0 points.
Please keep in mind that the strongest historical essays pay close attention to the chronology of events. An essay that moves back and forth in time period is generally a disorganized essay, so I would suggest you try your best to keep your events and examples in chronological order.
* After the Viking, Magyar, and Muslim invasions, many parts of Europe saw the creation of new systems of hierarchy and dependency, both in rural areas (often referred to as the feudal system) as well as in towns/cities. What were some of the reasons for the emergence of both the feudal system and the commercial system of guilds in medieval towns and villages? How did those systems contribute to general stability in the early medieval period, at least compared to the volatility of the preceding centuries?
For this topic, you don’t need to strictly compare/contrast the two systems. I am simply looking to see that you can discuss the general organization of medieval society both on the village and the city/town level.
solved There is overall scientific consensus on climate change. This consensus
/in /by adminThere is overall scientific consensus on climate change. This consensus is in two main areas. One is that the climate has been very stable for centuries but it is starting to change in a big way. The other is that human activity has caused these changes (mostly through the release of greenhouse gases, especially CO2 into the atmosphere.) Â Â Land use changes also play an important role. Â Why do you think that the populace is unwilling to accept the results? Be specific.
Before humans evolved, the average amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was between 180-280 ppm. Recent reports have stated that by 2050 we should expect that CO2 levels will be >550 ppm along with current readings that put it over 400 ppm for the first time in over a million years. Discuss the effects of this amount of CO2 on the food chain. (There is information in the U of A podcasts that will help with this.)
One of the big problems we’ve learned about in climate science is the idea of “feedback”. Some effects of larger CO2 concentrations actually make it more likely that CO2 will increase (through “positive feedback”). Write about one of the positive feedback mechanisms that are discussed in the climate change podcasts. Be specific.
In his book “The Madhouse Effect”, Michael Mann discusses the stages of climate change denial. Find a recent news article that illustrates one of these phases. Discuss the details of the news item and how it illustrates denial. Be specific.
Look at the Carbon Dioxide data from the EPA. Â Would these numbers have affected the choices that you would have made in the Energy I module? Â Do they makes some sources much worse than others?
In some ways the COVID-19 crisis is is similar to and different from the global crisis over climate change. Â What are some of the similarities and some of the differences between the two situations?
