You must (1) identify, comprehend, and resolve ethical issues/problems and their ramifications in a thorough and responsible manner, (2) describe the historical and cultural contexts of the issue, (3) determine the legal issues associated with the case study. A guide to potential ethical issues that could be addressed in a term paper: #1: Under laws in Germany that protect the privacy of criminals who have served their sentences, a murderer took legal action to force Wikipedia to remove its article about his case. Discuss the conflict between privacy and freedom of speech raised by the case. Which side would you take? #2: Is the control that large companies such as Google have over Internet search results represent a threat to Freedom of Speech? #3: It was recently discovered that Facebook employees sat in the offices of one of the Presidential candidates to guide them in crafting political ads to take advantage of Facebook’s software that targets audiences. Discuss whether this is ethical, legal, or morally acceptable. Should the service have been supplied to all candidates? #4: Should hacking attacks sanctioned by other governments be considered an act of war? How should the Federal Government respond to hacking attacks that affect our military capability? #5. Someone hacks into your computer and steals a great deal of personal information from you BUT you do not have anti-virus software, the network you have in your home is not password protected and your computer is not locked with a password? Is the person that stole the information breaking law if you do not take steps to preserve your information? #6. While you are in a classroom at the University, new technology has given the Faculty teaching the class in the classroom the ability to see the content on the screen of your computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. This was done because faculty have started seeing students distracted during class by electronic devices. Discuss whether this is an invasion of privacy or if a student does not have an expectation of privacy in a classroom.

It proposes the idea that “denialism” has a formulaic method, and researches this in the context of the global warming controversy, tobacco smoking, and DDT among others.Oreskes, Naomi & Conway, Erik (2010). Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues From Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming. New York: Bloomsbury Press, 2010. Write a report of this book. Be sure to include: What are the main topics of this book? Write a summary of the points it discusses. Using examples from the book, discuss some strategies of sowing doubt. Can doubt be a commercial product, and if so how? Can an idea be bought and sold like a commodity? Use some examples from the book to justify your answer.How would you critique both the roles of scientists and journalists as public communicators? How would you compare and contrast their missions? Imagine you are teaching science to high schoolers. What do you think is one of the most important lessons they should learn, so that they can be prepared to think critically when interpreting recent news and articles about science? Do you think it’s important to have a basic knowledge of science, and if so, what types of science are most important?

Create a digital presentation, to be used for professional development, which creatively and accurately explains the dimensions of descriptive statistics.

Understanding measurement principles and the characteristics of assessments helps to minimize bias in individual teacher assessment practices. The ability to explain descriptive statistics encourages deeper understanding of how data is derived to aid decision-making within the classroom setting. These skills will support collaboration with colleagues and families in making decisions about students with disabilities to help inform future instructional practices. Create a digital presentation, to be used for professional development, which creatively and accurately explains the dimensions of descriptive statistics. Within your presentation, explain each of the following: Reliability Validity Bell curve Mean Standard deviation Standard scores Scaled scores T-Scores Percentiles Conclude your presentation by describing how this knowledge relates to data literacy and why it is important for teachers to understand it when making educational decisions and differentiated instruction for individual students, including those with disabilities. Your presentation should include visual depictions of sample statistics through graphs, tables, scatter plots, advanced organizers, etc. when it is helpful for explaining the required element.

Write a critical film review to address and assess how the various scientific topics portrayed in the film Interstellar relate to the topics covered by our Life in the Universe course. What topics have we discussed in the course that are portrayed in the film and how are these scientific principles used in the story? How well did the movie adhere to science? Which aspects of its portrayal of these scientific concepts are realistic or unrealistic and how and why? Suggested astrobiology topics to address in your critical film review (you are encouraged to address as many as you wish): wormholes, spacetime, time dilation, spaceship design, properties of extrasolar planets, tidal forces, gravitational slingshots, and others. Suggested reading: The Science of Interstellar by Kip Thorne ISBN-13: 978-0393351378 In The Science of Interstellar, Kip Thorne, the Nobel prize-winning physicist who assisted acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan on the scientific aspects of Interstellar, shows us that the movie’s jaw-dropping events and stunning, never-before-attempted visuals are grounded in real science. Thorne shares his experiences working as the science adviser on the film and then moves on to the science itself. Thorne’s scientific insights―many of them triggered during the actual scripting and shooting of Interstellar―describe the physical laws that govern our universe and the truly astounding phenomena that those laws make possible.
