This is a 4 assignment process. I need all 4 items completed. the 1st part I need by Sunday 12 May, 2019, the 2nd part I need by Sunday 19 May, 2019, the 3rd part I need by Sunday 26 May, 2019, and the final part I need completed by Sunday 2 June, 2019.Research in the Workplace For the final project of this course, you will apply what you have learned about research methods in a presentation. Imagine that you have been asked by your future boss to prepare a presentation for your colleagues at work. The topic and purpose of this presentation is entirely up to you, but it must include a data set and analysis to frame the data within your workplace environment. Data can be numerical in nature (quantitative), or it can be content driven (qualitative). We will discuss both types of data in this class, and you can brainstorm ideas with your peers and instructor as needed. Here is a sample PowerPoint on podcasts that you may use as an example. You are not allowed to use podcasts as the subject of your project. Topic Examples: Use polling data to summarize how the public feels about a specific subject that might affect your future job, from criminal justice to nursing to sales. Compile financial data to suggest a trend in purchasing that might allow your future company to host a sale or appeal to a specific demographic. Summarize psychology studies that help your colleagues understand clients, students, patients, or criminals more clearly and explain how this information can improve the execution of everyone’s jobs. Learn about a moment in history and propose lessons learned that could improve company morale, team tactics, or a marketing message. Collect data on technology in order to propose a way to save time at work by adopting automation or a company-wide communications app like Slack. Read about time management theories and summarize how your future co-workers could improve their productivity at work. Learn about investigation styles and apply them to a criminal justice team. The possibilities are endless. Feel free to use the above examples as inspiration or choose something from your major, career goals, or real life. Just remember to use specific qualitative or quantitative data plus analysis in your final product. Ultimately, your presentation will include a topic, your data, your analysis, and how it applies to your workplace. This should take approximately ten or more slides for your final presentation.Milestone One – Topic ProposalSpend some time searching for ideas that will form the core of your project. Once you find a good topic, write a proposal of 250-400 words. In this proposal, explain your future job, the organization, and your presentation audience. Then describe your topic and what type of data you might include in your presentation. Your instructor will provide you with some feedback to help set you up for success as you begin the data collection portion of this project.Milestone Two – Submitting Your Data SetPrepare the data that will inform your project. Information will vary according to project: it could be a chart of polling numbers, a description of main events for a historical moment, financial data about trends in purchasing, or information about good work habits or psychology. Because of this variation, it is critical that you introduce your data clearly before presenting it. After providing this information in a Word document, write a 200-word explanation of the data type, incorporating concepts and key terms from the course. Use APA citations when appropriate.Milestone Three – Presentation AnalysisUsing feedback from your instructor, briefly describe your topic and data set. Then write a 300-400 word analysis of this data and how it might help your hypothetical workplace. Try to incorporate concepts from the course in your analysis. Use citations in APA style where appropriate.Research in the WorkplaceReflecting on your instructor’s feedback in Weeks One, Three, and Five, put all your information together into a presentation. You may use any presentation program you chose, such as PowerPoint or Prezi. Imagine that you are going to give this presentation at a board meeting, faculty meeting, or company conference. Your presentation should be at least ten slides long, with a clear topic, presentation of data, description of analysis, and application to your hypothetical employment environment.

This is 8 Discussion. I need one answered every 3 days. Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length. Discussion 1 Research in Daily Life The book discusses research as systemic investigation that is designed to produce public knowledge. This involves collecting data, analyzing results, and discovering or proving knowledge. With this in mind, how does research affect your life?  In this first forum, introduce yourself and describe what brings you to Grantham and how this course might affect your program and future career. Then identify two ways that research affects your daily life.  After your initial post, respond to at least two classmates by discussing how their chosen examples of research compare to your own and whether they also affect your life. How is research all around us? View your discussion rubric.  Discussion 2 Ethical Research Our Week Two material explores the rules for ethical research. After completing the assigned chapters and lectures, identify an event from the past when research did not follow ethical guidelines. For your opening thread, share a link to the event you found and explain what happened. Then discuss why ethical research is so important. Why do scientists need to be extra careful with research that uses human subjects? Do ethical guidelines restrict the boundaries of research? Feel free to explain by using the textbook or by doing additional research online. Remember to cite your sources. When responding to your classmates, consider their reasoning for ethical research. Is there or has there ever been any situation when morality can be abandoned for a really good research project? Why or why not? View your discussion rubric.  Discussion 3 Science Reporting This week’s assigned reading went over the value of specific types of data. For this week’s discussion forum, look through your favorite news sources and identify an article on science reporting. Your example should summarize a scientific article by explaining the goal of the project, its findings, and the reporter’s take on the project. Remember to cite your source. After providing this summary, analyze the project itself. Are there any weaknesses in this experiment? Use the textbook to discuss potential problems in sample size, variables, collection errors, assumptions, or bias. While responding to classmates, compare their findings to your own. Why should we be extra wary of science reporting in the news? View your discussion rubric.  Discussion 4 Validity and Reliability  Every project must ensure the data and conclusions are both valid and reliable. Validity refers to the accuracy of the measurement in a test; reliability refers to the stability or consistency of scores. In other words, a test must measure what it says it does (validity), and it must be consistent in its reports (reliability). For this week’s initial thread, share an example of a test or experiment and discuss the validity and reliability of that test. Your example can come from your daily life, from reading the textbook or looking for online examples, or even from a hypothetical situation. When responding to your classmates, suggest at least one way to improve either the validity or reliability in their proposed example. Remember to demonstrate the difference between validity and reliability in your posts this week. View your discussion rubric.  Discussion 5 Survey Data Surveys try to measure opinions about populations relating to political beliefs, religious views, diet and exercise, and all manner of lifestyle choices. For this week’s discussion, search for an online poll. If you don’t have a polling source in mind, you can explore the Pew Research Center, any news source, or fivethirtyeight.com. Share the data revealed by your chosen poll, and draw three conclusions to explain the poll’s results. When drawing conclusions, consider what the poll measures, what big the sample size was, or how trustworthy the results are. Try to use the textbook to look for ways to assess the results. When responding to your classmates, compare their findings to your own and provide them with feedback on the accuracy of their conclusions. For example, do you find the explanations to be credible? Is there another way to interpret the data? Were the questions poorly written? This discussion forum will help you practice analysis for the final project, so ask yourself questions about each other's findings. View your discussion rubric.  Discussion 6 Interpreting History Historical interpretation can be particularly difficult, because history never exists in a vacuum. Each event is part of a larger historical arc. In addition, historical events are interpreted differently by individual people. As a result, each event can be interpreted differently depending on context.   For this week’s forum, choose a moment in history that interests you. Using a reliable source, summarize the event in 3-5 sentences. Then propose how that event could be interpreted truthfully as a positive development in human history, or a negative event in human history. If we can honestly interpret it both ways, what does that mean about truth in historical research? When responding to classmates, identify different groups of people who might benefit from one or the other interpretation. Groups could be organized by politics, religion, gender, urban versus rural, American versus international, or any other category. Keep in mind the question of how this tells us more about “truth” in historical research. View your discussion rubric.  Discussion 7 Academic Literature When we speak of research, we often think about laboratory conditions. However, research affects all careers and all walks of life, including business, administration, politics, education, customer service, and criminal justice. For this week’s forum, search online for the name of a research journal that might be important to your program at Grantham or your future career. Share the name of that journal and describe what kinds of articles, research, and data it publishes. When responding to classmates, compare their example to your own and try to suggest specific ways you or your peers could use the information that journal to become better at our future jobs. How is research important to our specific careers? It might be useful to mention your major or career goals during this week’s forum. View your discussion rubric.  Discussion 8 Peer Review and Reflection Share your Final Project presentation here. Write a 3-5 sentence summary of your project and attach the submission into the discussion forum thread. When responding to your classmates, draw from concepts throughout this course to analyze their presentation. Feel free to ask each other questions, and try to monitor your own thread in order to answer the questions anyone poses to your own presentation. View your discussion rubric. 

Consider a time when you, someone you know, or someone with whom you have worked has felt discriminated against as a result of gender bias or sexual orientation. Were there other diverse issues present, such as religion or racial background that made the situation even more difficult, due to family traditions and culture or other related concerns? Describe a scenario, using appropriate citations, that demonstrates how a culturally sensitive human service worker would manage such a situation towards achieving a positive outcome in 250-300 words. Remember that discrimination and prejudice can have many looks and perspectives not just the obvious or publicized. Watch the media segment on The Midriff (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and read the article about Melanie Benn, Social Worker Earns more than Medals at Athens Paralympics (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. In a 250-300 word post, consider the following questions: How does the focus on beauty and youth affect us as we age or if we are disabled? How does it affect our ability to work with someone who does not share our perspective or condition relative to these terms?
