 Assessment Description

Students with ASD may experience delays in developing age-appropriate social and emotional skills. Teachers need to identify their areas of need and develop specific plans and goals to support social-emotional development in the classroom.

Review the case study for Brian from the IRIS Center, then in 500-750 words complete the following:

• Summarize Brian’s past developmental and educational history.
• Summarize how ASD has affected him, including a discussion of strategies that have been successful.
• Create a plan to support Brian’s social-emotional needs at his current life stage. Focusing on his new job, provide two specific goals that can be used to help Brian be successful.
• Provide a rationale for the goals and specific strategies his family can use to support him.
• Describe three specific strategies and/or activities that can be used to support social-emotional skills for students with ASD in the inclusive classroom.

Support your explanations with 3-5 scholarly resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric.

 

From this week’s material, select one of the 10 pseudoscientific indicators presented by the authors. In your own words, post a discussion in which you analyze the indicator and give an example. The example can be a summary of the ones presented by the author, or even better, use an example you have come across in your own experiences. Conduct external research in the NCU library if need be. Next, explore one of the strategies from this week’s readings you may use to combat the pseudoscientific practice/indicator you explained above. Finally, discuss why understanding pseudoscience is important to your knowledge of the principles of scientific inquiry.

Length: Content post 150-200 words. 

Your content post should reflect a collegial attitude, be free of grammar and spelling errors, and include the criteria mentioned above. 

Post your discussion by clicking on Start a New Thread and then click the Post button when you have completed your response. 

Note- It is likely that you have heard reference to this particular study in the news and in other courses. Understanding the gross ethical violations against the Black men in this historical study is important because provides context for current approaches to ethics in research.

For this assignment, you will select three current options for creating multimedia presentations that you have available to you. For example, you might wish to compare a narrated PowerPoint, a Screencast-O-Matic recording, and a Prezi presentation. Feel free to use these three options or to select the options that best fit your current personal and professional presentation needs.

In preparation for your Signature Assignment for this class where you will use one of these multimedia presentation tools, evaluate the pros and cons of each presentation tool. After spending time researching and playing with each tool, respond to the following questions:

• What is the best way for you to become familiar with a new presentation tool that you have not previously used? (For example, do you like to watch YouTube videos, talk to people who have previously used the tool, conduct web searches for instructional documents, etc.?) Describe your process.
• Which three presentation tools did you choose to compare for this assignment and why?
• Which tool seems most user-friendly and why?
• Which tools would allow you to create the most engaging multimedia presentations and why?
• Which of these tools will you be using for your Signature Assignment and why?
• What additional training do you need to complete to be ready to use this tool and incorporate multimedia in the form of audio and visuals in Week 7 to record your tutorial for your Signature Assignment?

Length: 3-4 pages

References: At least 3 references in APA format, supporting the information you share about the capabilities of your selected presentation tools

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. 

 

Below are the instructions for the ePortfolio project.

Answer the first 3 questions along with what the apps estimate is your initial carbon footprint.

Then I want you to come up with an idea for what you will do for #4.  

As this is going to be a short paper put everything in paragraph form, written in complete sentences and cited correctly.

1. Select at least 2 of the apps to use.

2. Define and describe what a carbon footprint is.

3. Compare/contrast how each app. tracks your carbon footprint (differences in the questions they ask, and how they collect data).  Which do you think was better – and why.

4. What is your carbon footprint.  Did it change over the semester . . . did you edit any of the information in the app. like keeping track of exactly how many miles a week you drive.

5. What can you do with this information?  Can you change something that would decrease your carbon footprint – and if so is it something that the app. tracks, did you change it, and how much did it affect your footprint – be sure to take screen shots to use in the project before and after so you have a visual reference to refer to in the paper.
