Guiding questions:
What is the organization/community group? What kind of group are they & who funds them (grassroots/NGO/Govt etc.)? How does this funding affect what they do/don’t do? What are the problems that they are organizing around/addressing? What are the specific issues that they tackle? What are the tactics (the actual actions) that they use to make change? Give us a few examples of the actual strategies they have used to make change in the world. Why does their work matter to disabled people? Does the group align with disability studies frameworks? How? Has the organization addressed the impact of Coviod-19? How?
We grade the presentation and report for: cohesive organization, comprehension, engagement, content, clarity, accessibility, Disability Studies theoretical approach, and integration of course content.

EBSCO Guided Search

What you need to do is my search for parts 1 and 2 and then do your search for 3 and 4. Part 3 you do in Academic Search Ultimate and then for Part 4 you add other EBSCO databases and do your search again. For Part 5 you assembly a bibliography of 10 articles. You need to evaluate 4 of the articles using the 3 R method.

THERE ARE 5 Parts to this assignment.

My research concerns library anxiety in college students. Below is my listing of keywords. Notice they fall into categories—Major issue, population, effect
Major issue Population Effect
Library anxiety College students grades
Library use Freshman prevention/prevent*
undergraduates reduce, reduction, reduc*
graduate students training, instruction

Note: not every topic will fall into these categories, but notice the how the keywords are specific. The population cannot be the human race—it is too broad. My keywords allow me to tighten my focus once I begin searching.

How many results did you get for this search?

Enter your population in the second search box—College students or Undergraduates

How many results did you get when you added this term?

Quantum Computing

From all that you have learned about Quantum Computing in the 21st century, write about two pages of a summary of ″what quantum computing means to us today and what it might mean in the future.″ You should make sure you discuss each of the following:

1) What degree of performance has Quantum Computing Achieved today?

2) How do we measure the size of a QC?

3) How big a QC has been built and published?

4) What might be reasonable expected in the next few years?

5) IF QC lives up to the promise, what might we expect at some future date?

This should be about 1000 words.
