Peers forum 1

Pose two questions in response to at least two different posts.  Your questions should be very specific as to what you are asking or critiquing in regard to anothers post and also as to what further points of elucidation or clarification you are situating in your questions.
Respond to at least two other posts in the form of a critical commentary.  Your critical commentaries do not need to ask any questions, but rather they are vehicle for you: to further develop a point or argument about a text that someone else began, to reiterate in your own use of language what someone else is trying to articulate, and this is also a space to make a case against someone’s argument or position with supporting evidence from the text.

Nature of Science

Based on your understanding of the scientific method and how experiments work, as well as our discussion of research articles this week, please write a 1-2 page opinion paper that answers the following questions:

Which aspects or steps in the scientific method do you think are most important, and why?
Which aspects of steps in the scientific method do you think are least important, and why?

Please use at least two references and citations

Common Core: Solve Math Problems

I have attached the file that you have to go by for this paper!

Following the description in the reading assignment “Common Core: Solve Math Problems, select one end-of-lesson assessment problem that is rich and representative of the bulk of the concepts in the standard you are targeting.  Develop three different stations in three different waysconcretely, representationally, and abstractly.  Include a description of what will be happening in each station. 

Psychology Research Design and Methods

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 1 in the Frost e-book, Qualitative Research Methods in Psychology, and the required journal articles for this week. Also review last weeks PSY635 Week Two Discussion Scenario (Links to an external site.). In that scenario, the three instructors realized there are limits to the insights they can gain through anonymous counting of discussion posts. The instructors would like to answer two additional research questions: (a) How do their students actually feel about the intervention? and (b) How do students view the influence of the intervention on their learning inside and outside of the classroom (if applicable)?

Key File and File System Attributes

Week 1: Discussion – Key File and File System Attributes

During this first discussion, I would like you to think like a forensic examiner. What key attributes would you like to know about a file you need to examine?

When examining files and file systems key attributes are collected.  For example:

File Location
File Size
File Timestamps

For this , please define and discuss one filesystem or file attribute that you find critically important during an investigation.  Define the attribute, explain why you believe it is critical, and what inculpatory or exculpatory evidence it can provide.

Conceptual Model Analysis Assignment

Focus: The purpose of this assignment is to analyze and evaluate a nursing conceptual model.

Activity:  Write a scholarly paper analyzing a nursing conceptual model reflecting the criteria below. Support your analysis with scholarly references in addition to textbooks. The framework for model analysis and evaluation will be reviewed in lecture. Suggested length: 8-10 pages

Introduction (4 Points)
Choose a nursing theorist that you most identify with and who has the most similarity to your beliefs about nursing. Explain your rationale for selecting the theorist. Describe the theorists background and how it may have impacted the model development.

Analysis (6 points)
Origins of the Model
What is the historical evolution of the model? What was the authors motivation and philosophical claims? Which scholars influenced the author? What world view is reflected in the model?

Unique Focus
What is the unique focus of the model? What category of nursing knowledge is reflected in the model?

Content
Describe the concepts and propositions of the model.

Evaluation (6 Points)
Explication of Origins – Are the models philosophical claims explicit? Is the influence of scholars acknowledged? Comprehensiveness of Content. Are the metaparadigm concepts clearly described?  Do the relational propositions link the concepts? Is the model sufficiently broad to guide nursing research, education, administration and practice?

Logical Congruence
Is one congruent frame of reference evident?
Generation of Theory
What theories have been generated from the model?

Legitimacy
Is application of the model feasible? Is the model compatible with expectations of recipients of nursing? Does the model make a difference in health conditions?

Contributions
What is the overall contribution of the model to nursing?

Application (6 Points)
Has the model or derived theory been applied to real world nursing (practice, education, administration)? Cite examples.
How might you apply this model or derived theory in a nursing setting? Give examples of a specific situation and comment on the applicability of the theory to the situation. Include how the views of your chosen theorist are congruent with your views of nursing.

Writing (3 points)
Graduate level writing is required. The paper should be well organized using correct grammar, spelling and APA format (7th edition). An abstract is required

References must be current and include scholarly journals

Webliography

Identify and navigate one of the websites included at the end of Chapter I (p. 32) and submit a 2-3 page paper (maximum) double-spaced summary in response to the following: Attached is the Webliography.

1) Why you chose to explore this specific website; and

2) How this may serve to generate ideas for future curriculum planning.

Curriculum Concepts

Watch the videos and think about the content in relation to the concepts you read about in the course text Chapter 1: The Nature of Curriculum. Below are the links to the videos, and attached are a few pages from the chapter to help write the discussion. Provide your thoughts on each of the videos in the Discussion Post assignment. Please cite from the pages that are provided and the videos. I also attached the rubric.

Stop and Frisk policy pros and con

For a number of years, the New York City Police Department engaged in a “stop, question and frisk” policy that drew widespread criticism.  Research and evaluate this policy and discuss the pros and cons of the practice.  Your submission should address your evaluation of the intended purpose of the policy and identify and assess any unintended consequences that resulted.

Your paper must be four (4) pages in length with at least five (5) references.

how health care financing directly impacts nursing practice, treatment options, and patient outcomes.

Post a response to the following:

How do the rapid and dynamic changes in financing impact health outcomes within your practice?
How do evidence-based practice (EBP) and interprofessional partnerships in nursing help to manage the constant changes in health care financing?
In what ways can an understanding of health care financing better equip nurses to be more effective advocates?

Note Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually less than or equal to 5 years old).
