Discussion Boards (DB) are a key component of online learning. They foster active participation of learners and dialog with fellow learners and instructors. Graduate-level courses require learners to create original posts to course DBs and to engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the course.

Minimum Weekly DB Expectations

• Post an original and thoughtful Main Post to the DB prompt.
• Respond to at least 2 other posts from learners and/or the instructor (Response Posts).
• The first contribution (Main Post or Response Post) must be posted before midnight (Central time) on Friday of each week.
• Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week.
• For DB assignment prompts with a Part One and Part Two, Part One should be addressed in the first week of the unit with a Main Post and minimum of 2 Response Posts, and Part Two should be addressed in the second week of the unit with a Main Post and a minimum of 2 Response Posts.

More on DBs

At the end of each unit, DB participation is assessed based on level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. DBs allow learners to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB are accepted after the end of the unit. Learners must demonstrate an appropriate depth of understanding of course content to receive credit for having submitted substantive posts. Typically, this is achieved with 3–4 strong paragraphs for Main Posts and 2–3 strong paragraphs for Response Posts.

Assignment Specifics

Part One

Discuss the following:

• How did behaviorism become such a dominant theoretical basis for education and training in the United States?
• How do behaviorists make the logical transition in their thinking from experiments on pigeons, rats, dogs, and apes to conclusions about human learning?
• Why might an educator choose a specific behavioral approach? Consider learning audiences, types of learning events, learner management, and learning activities.

Illustrate your discussions with examples.

Part Two

The scientific or positivist philosophy of education argues that knowledge can be discovered and constructed scientifically. Positivists assume that people can discover the truth about the world and that everyone needs to work toward knowledge of the same, ultimate truth, regardless of the topic or field of study. Discuss the following:

• In what ways does behaviorist theory support this philosophy?

For a mature hurricane, the amount of kinetic energy generated by its winds is tremendous. For a typical hurricane averaging 90 mph winds over a 40 mile radius, the kinetic energy generated is approximately 1.5 x 1012 Watts! That is equivalent to about half the world-wide electrical generating capacity. Using the same guidelines as for the prior Discussions (including replying to at least 3 other postings), address the following:

1.Do you think we should pursue harnessing the energy of hurricanes? Why or why not? If so, how and in what ways?
2.What sort of problems do you think we might encounter in trying to do so?
3.How does our ability to forecast the path of hurricanes figure in to all this? Do an internet search and describe at least one problem with predicting a hurricane’s path.
4.briefly summarize the Coriolis effect in your own words.
5.What influence would the Coriolis effect have on the trajectory of your weapon of choice in Discussion 2? (the weapon was hand cannons).
6.How does this compare to the Coriolis effect on the flight of an airplane or intercontinental ballistic missle?

Using Power Point, Prezi, or an alternative file format include the following in a 10–12 slide presentation. Each slide will need to include explanatory notes.
* Describe adolescent psychosocial tasks using a theoretical framework.
* Develop a presentation on the psychosocial issues faced by adolescents, using at least one developmental theory as a basis.
* Identify factors (including physical and cognitive) that influence psychosocial development.
* Include an overview of adolescent psychosocial development tasks and milestones that are shaped by biological, cognitive, and environmental factors.
* Incorporate the roles of culture, family dynamics, peer influences, and media into your presentation.
* Describe an adolescent mental health issue and treatment approaches.
* Focus on at least one mental health issue (as an example) that can emerge during adolescence, as well as effective treatment approaches for this issue.

At the start of the course, we argued for the strong possibility that language represents a discontinuity between humans and nonhumans. In the second part of the course, we are looking at theory of mind, self awareness, tool use, and moral reasoning. ***Is there evidence for evolutionary roots of humankind’s abilities in these domains in nonhumans? Bring experimental evidence discussed in the class and/or readings to support your claim.

The information you provided in your PowerPoint presentation on Threats to the Global Environment has led to productive debates at the United Nations General Assembly! Hence, they are now asking you to create an additional analysis report to respond to the issues raised in these debates.

Your fourth project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop a report that addresses the issues raised by some of the member states of the United Nations.

 

In Assignment 3a, you were asked to create a PowerPoint identifying the four most critical threats out of eight threats provided in the table below.

Energy sources

Civil war

Globalization

Poor health of entire populations

Lack of educational opportunities

Cultural taboos

Inappropriate uses of technology

Climate change

There are four remaining threats that you did not discuss in your PowerPoint. This assignment will focus on those four. Here are the specific tasks you will complete:

• Review the remaining four threats that you did not use in Assignment 3a.

 

• Pick two of the four to focus on in Assignment 3b.
• Identify the reasons why you think these two threats are less critical than the four threats you chose for your PowerPoint presentation.

Step II. Prepare Your Report

The UN has given you the following guidelines.

Introduction

Briefly introduce the topic of the analysis (about 100-150 words).

1. State the topic and intent of the paper.
2. Identify the four threats you will discuss in the paper in the order in which they appear in the paper.

Section I. Threat 1

1. Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.
2. Write one page giving three reasons that explain why you saw this threat as less critical than the four you chose for your presentation in Assignment 3a.

How can one distinguish between an organizational weakness and a threat to the organization?
