Describe the deliverables of this project: how will you present the relevant information?

1. Problem statement (thesis statement): What is happening?
Include a brief summary of the environmental/natural resource issue and why it is important.

Be sure to clearly identify the attributes of the resource that make efficient allocation problematic.

Identify who has standing (the population impacted by this issue and those who are expected to contribute).

2. Preliminary analysis: Is there a solution?
If there is a policy, discuss the background and the current state of the policy including how this policy addresses or fails to address the problem at hand (hint: look at the incentive/disincentive structure imposed by the policy).

If there is no current regulation, discuss why that may be the case and potential for future governmental intervention or the need to avoid government intervention.

3. Describe the deliverables of this project: how will you present the relevant information?
Discuss how you will inform the audience about the topic either via a news article, art project or poster. Be sure to include justification for the project choice.

Discuss how your project will communicate economic principles/theories and/or market failure at work.

Describe the relationship between the cognitive principles and their application to interfaces and products.

Computer applications that run on desktop and laptop computers have, for a long time, been designed to be driven by dragging and clicking a mouse. With the introduction of tablet personal computers, the trend has shifted toward using touch-based screens. We now have access to touch-based TVs, touch-based monitors, touch-based laptops and touch-based tablets. Touch and multi-touch devices provide end users with the ability to interact physically with an application much more naturally.

Imagine that you are the Information Technology Director of a major chain restaurant, and you have been assigned to design a menu ordering application that can run on all devices. Examine whether using a touch-screen monitor, a tablet, or using a mouse to select menu items to place an order would be most efficient. Speculate how employees would interact with these devices and the type of emotional reaction that customers and employees will experience while placing a beverage, appetizer or entrée order.

Write a paper in which you:

Differentiate between the interaction types and styles that apply to multi-touch screens and applications running on them.
Determine the conceptual model that you would use when designing a product for your restaurant.
Describe the key analogies and concepts these monitors expose to users, including the task-domain objects users manipulate on the screen.
Determine one (1) utility / tool in an application for touch-based and mouse-drive screens that should be designed with memory retention / recall. Provide a rationale for your response.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. You may use the resources above or others of your choosing.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Describe the relationship between the cognitive principles and their application to interfaces and products.
Explain the conceptual terms for analyzing human interaction with affordance, conceptual models, and feedback.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in human-computer interaction.
Write clearly and concisely about human-computer interaction topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

What type of diets have you noticed trending currently for average individuals and/or athletes in regards to carbohydrate? What is your take on these?

1. Do you think sports nutrition is applicable only to competitive athletes? Why or Why not? Defend your answer.

2. Josh has soccer practice each day from 6-8 am and weight training from 8-9 am. He struggles with what to consume before early morning practice and post work out prior to heading to class. Occasionally Josh skips breakfast or lunch due to lack of ideas for fuel and is short on time.

3. Sarah is a track and field long distance runner who typically runs 12-16 miles per week during practice. She states she has reduced the amount of carbohydrate in her diet because she is concerned carbs may cause weight gain. Sarah also complains of feeling tired most days and needing to take a nap. As her nutrition coach what are your recommendations for Sarah?

4. What type of diets have you noticed trending currently for average individuals and/or athletes in regards to carbohydrate? What is your take on these?

Using the appropriate t-test, compare the mean scores between men and women for the Sport Fandom Total Score.

1) Provide demographic statistics to describe your sample. How many men and women? What is the mean age and standard deviation for each?
2) Using the appropriate t-test, compare the mean scores between men and women for the Sport Fandom Total Score. Is there a gender difference in these means?
3) For men and women separately, correlate the Sport Fandom scores with Pro Events Attended. You should have a total of 2 correlations (1 for the men and 1 for the women). Is the correlations larger or smaller for one gender compared to the other?
4) Last, using the appropriate chi-square test, compare the proportion (frequency) of men and women and their reasons for attending a professional sport event. Do men and women differ in their reasons for attending/not attending a game?

What is “white privilege” and do you believe it still exists in the criminal justice system?

Just answer the following questions in paragraph form

1.What is “white privilege” and do you believe it still exists in the criminal justice system?

2.If so, how do whites and non-whites experience being labeled a criminal differently?

3. Why do you believe white privilege persists? Whom does it benefit most, and why?

4. African Americans and Latinos tend to have a more negative perception of police. In your opinion, is this warranted? Why or why not?

Identify a special education research question, preferably one that has emerged from your work setting or research area of interest, which might be addressed through a mixed-methods design.

Mixed-methods consist of a combination of quantitative and qualitative research designs. You have explored the differences between these designs in prior modules, but in this module, you consider how these methods may complement one another. The studies in the Learning Resources are examples of mixed-methods research designs; they present the potential benefit of combining both qualitative and quantitative methods to produce a more valid study.

For this Discussion, you analyze a special education research question and apply a mixed-methods approach to answer that question.

To prepare:

Review the module Learning Resources, paying particular attention to the research questions addressed by the studies.
Identify a special education research question, preferably one that has emerged from your work setting or research area of interest, which might be addressed through a mixed-methods design.

By Day 7 of Week 8:

Post an explanation of the special education research question you selected. Then, explain how your question might be addressed appropriately by a mixed-methods design.

Support your response with specific reference to the Learning Resources, outside resources, as well as personal experience.

Identify the time on the show or video as best you can (in minutes and seconds from the start of the show) and compare/contrast what was portrayed with what has been otherwise documented.

TV Series or Movie review: See drop box for due dates; In order to ensure you are improving your writing ability in this introductory course, a mini-paper is assigned.Textbooks should not be considered references, though they can be good sources for references. The topic of the mini-paper will be the treatment of the many corrections functions in a TV Series (or a collection of at least 3 shows) or Movie of your choosing. You will need to watch the series/movie and identify at least 5 events in which the corrections system was portrayed, referenced, or alluded to. Identify the time on the show or video as best you can (in minutes and seconds from the start of the show) and compare/contrast what was portrayed with what has been otherwise documented.
