Before you begin this essay you will need to read “Evaluating Internet Research Sources” by Robert Harris (Links to an external site.)

For this essay, you will select a website that discusses a current controversial issue that you are interested in. You cannot use Wikipedia. You will need to clearly identify the title of the website and URL in your essay.

You will then evaluate the website that you have selected. Use the following questions as a guide. Remember, simple Yes or No answers will not be enough. You will need to take time to explain your evaluations of the website and include specific examples/details to support your evaluations. Both in-text documentation and a works cited page in MLA format are required.

Here are some questions to consider as you evaluate the website. Please DO NOT try to respond to all of the questions. Select questions that you can answer, develop and support in your evaluation of the website.

Look for signs indicating the website is regularly updated. When was the website last updated? Does the lack of an update date help you to determine whether or not the website is credible/reliable?

Is the website posted anonymously? If it is anonymous, ask yourself why do you think you (or the reader) should trust the information even though it comes from an unknown source.

Does the website list contact information for the author or organization (e-mail address, mailing address, phone number) so you can verify the person or organization really exists by trying to contact them?

Is the author someone particularly likely to be a trustworthy source? Does the website list his/her credentials, experience, title, occupation or other relevant information?

Is the author associated with a respected or well-known organization? Does that organization have an interest or investment in being impartial, accurate, and trustworthy? Does that organization have a financial or political stake in persuading you to trust its judgment that might make it biased or untrustworthy?

Has the website organized its information into numbered sections or provided a means of citation for scholars and researchers?

Does the website have a clear agenda, such as a commercial, political bias/motivation for its publication? Examine the address endings for the website (For instance, .com, .biz, .gov, .edu, .org, .mil, or .mus.) What does this tell you about the nature of the organization? Does that bias alter the degree to which you trust the website? Should it?

Ask yourself if the web author has taken the time to proofread her webpage. Has the author spent the time to create a neat, visually engaging but easily accessible webpage? If not, does that sloppiness detract from the reader’s trust? Why or why not? An occasional typo or grammatical error might mean nothing, but two or three within a few paragraphs might indicate this individual didn’t spend much time on the project or might not be very professional.

Is there any evidence of quality control? For instance, has the publication been “refereed” (peer-reviewed by other writers or editors)? Was it written by or for an organization that evaluates information before publication? If not, does it use quotations from such a source? Are there signs that the writer or author is incompetent, poorly educated, or apathetic about his project?

The paper will be graded based on

Organization and development of ideas

Use of specific examples/details

Grammar and mechanics

Documentation of sources

Paper must have a work cited page

Exploring the ethical dilemma of confidentiality

A final paper will be submitted at the end of the course. The objective of this assignment is to enable students to demonstrate the ability to analyze complex moral issues and structure ethical decisions for social work practice. The proposed topic can either focus on

1) a case that has ethical implications

2) an analysis of ethical problems emerging from organizational functioning and operations or organizational policy.

This assignment gives students the opportunity to reflect on an ethical dilemma from their field experience and apply course learning to a real situation experienced in your field setting (New York Presbyterian Brooklyn methodist hospital).

Resolution of the ethical dilemma (which is confidentiality) will require you to draw upon literature, theory, models for resolving ethical dilemmas and the Code of Ethics.

Students are required to use recent scholarly resources. Furthermore, you are expected to refer to the course readings. The paper should follow the Include the following sections in your paper:

1.Introduction –

Identify and discuss an ethical dilemma from practice -present a description of the issue, explaining relevant facts and clearly stating the central ethical dilemma(s); describe the dilemma including a brief discussion of the background and history of the problem.

Why this is an ethical problem as opposed to an everyday operations or “business” problem?

2.Following the outline developed by Barsky, pp. 504-5in the textbook ,analyze your case.

Presentation Planning

This week the focus is on presentations and presenting. These are the most widely used tools in organizational communication allowing for messaging up and down then up again within an organization. These presentations run from small and informal to large and formal as well as presented by teams. The use of AIM that Cardon discusses  is extremely effective with presentations.

You are a regional sales director for a national company located in Dallas, TX. It is time for you to present your quarterly report to the national vice president of sales. This presentation will be held at your regional office. This is important as it is an opportunity to share your results, which are positive in terms of sales, but it is also a chance to impress the vice president so as to ask her for additional budget money for next year, some of which can be used for raises and bonuses for your regional team

You want this presentation to be informative, effective and powerful. You decide to put together a presentation team that will project manage the presentation. Aside from the content of the presentation, Identify all of the associated requirements and details for the presentation such as the agenda, formal or informal, use of handouts and visual aids as well as rehearsing and utilizing AIM.
