Professional Work Experience Synthesis Paper

This paper, professionally written, in accordance with acceptable English grammar, spelling, and punctuation, should synthesize what you learned from your 1,000 hour professional work experiences.  You are expected to reference what you learned (i.e., technical skills, soft skills, professional etiquette and work ethos for each position), how these learning outcomes related to your course work, and lastly what these lessons mean to your future career.

The expectation is that to do the above well, thoughtfully, and successfully, you would need about four (4) to five pages of typed, double-spaced, 1 inch margins, New Times Roman font of text.  Your name and page numbers should be on each page (use the Header or Footer tool to do so).

There is a general writing rubric posted here and I expect you will be thoughtful. Try to minimize the first person, meaning, not every sentences should be constructed as “I learned…I was….I did….” Try to vary and be introspective.  Avoid superlatives, such as “very, always, ultimate” .  I know this exercise will be revealing and hope it is deeply instructive to your professional growth.

If you would an extension to turn this in later, please know that I will keep that option open to you (with a penalty for lateness).  I would much rather you give care to this assignment than just haphazardly put something poorly together.

City Council Meeting

For this activity, you will need to attend a city council meeting in the city of your choice (you must attend the meeting in person to understand the entire depth of what takes place and the feeling of a city council meeting). Pay special attention to the topics discussed in the meeting and what topics seem to be pertinent to the city council members as well as the community members. You will then write a reflection paper regarding your experiences which includes the date of the meeting as well as the city. The reflection paper should include information regarding your experiences and how they relate back to the material in this class. The reflection paper should be 3-5 pages double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font. You will need to give the link of the city council meeting you chose.

PS101

3-4 page (double-spaced) paper evaluating an article from a popular media source and comparing it to the original peer-reviewed published research article.
To evaluate the limits of the original research and examine the presentation of the research in the popular media.

Select article from popular media source that describes a research study in the human sciences: article needs to be published/posted AFTER June 2018.
Then find the original scientific article cited in the popular article.
Read both carefully and compare.
Answer the following questions:
What type of study is described (correlational, experimental)?  Provide a rationale for your answer.
Who were the subjects and how were they selected (random sample or not)?  How might the sampling strategy affect generalizability?  If it doesnt say how subjects were selected, how might this effect your interpretation of the findings?
How were the variables operationalized (defined for the purposes of the study)?  Does it seem like a reasonable approach (is it a good way to measure the phenomenon)?  What problems/limits may be associated with this approach?
Do the conclusions seem justified based on the study design?  Have the data been manipulated to make a stronger (and possibly less accurate) statement about the results?  Is cause being inferred when the study design does not allow the authors to draw that conclusion?
Does the brief article accurately reflect what is presented in the longer journal article?  Is the science really well-represented in the more popular media (short article)?  Did you have enough information with just the brief article alone to feel confident in the conclusion?
