Data Collection forming hypotheses

What is data collection and how do students demonstrate this with fairy tales?

Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes.

After you have actively read the whole chapter of your choice including the introduction of the chapter from our TEXTBOOK and ALL tales within that chapter, you must decide on your variables of interest or VALUE. Show me your collection of this data.

1. You can submit graphs, Cornell notes, charts, spread sheets, column notes, etc., what ever format you wish, as long as it is generated on a computer and can be sent easily and opened by me easily.

Identify the Chapter number and title
Identify specific titles and authors’ names as well as page numbers of your data (minimum of 5 tales)
Track your data by noting variables/value (mark the text where you find evidence of this value whether its character description, behavior, dialogue or plot/conflict/action description and development)
Use direct quotations and citation end notes with page numbers like this (Gozenbach 148) (12-15 quotes is average)
Identify how the marked text reflects the VALUE(s) of your focus
Identify the lens(es) you have applied
Note constants and changes among all tales you’ve collected data from (5 minimum) to your valued area throughout 100 years of this trope
How, in what ways, has what you valued (data collected) survived (stayed the same) in this trope over 100 years?
How has what you valued in this trope changed over 100 years?
Why do you think this has changed in that way?
What in modern day do you see reflected, or what do you connect in modern times, presented from YOUR data? When you read your data, what does it make you think of that is relevant, important, interesting, or controversial today with our current knowledge? Align your quoted data (each quote) with HOW you see it as modern day connections. Try out various lenses here!

2. Suggest three possible arguments you make about this chapter based on the value(s), lenses, and evidence you have tracked.

MBA580

You work as a middle manager for one of the top U.S. producers of luxury and mass-market automobiles and trucks. The chief technology officer (CTO) of the company from the course scenario has been researching new technology developments that the company could integrate into its vehicles to enhance their usefulness and access to sensor data. Such data is acquired by the many digital sensors that have been integrated into vehicle subsystems over the past 20–30 years. The technology trend of particular interest to the CTO is the internet of things (IoT), the interconnection of embedded devices such as sensors and computers over the internet to share data. For automobiles, the trend points to creating connected cars.

Prompt

Senior management has decided to explore IoT for the company’s trucks and cars. Your task is to create an internal memo explaining that the company should integrate IoT into its product line using the RWW (real, win, worth it) screening tool from the Module One resources and the information from the CTO Brief, Comparative Growth Data, Comparative Operating Statistics, and Comparative Product Plans documents. Consider the following:

Discuss the feasibility of the product line (refer to RWW screening tool question number one: Is it real?).

Is there a need or desire for the product?

Is the size of the potential market adequate?

Can the product actually be made?

Will the final product satisfy the market?

Discuss the ability of the company to win market share (refer to RWW screening tool question number two: Can we win?).

Will your company’s products have a competitive advantage?

How will your competitors respond?

Can your company understand the market properly?

Discuss the potential benefits to the company of producing this product (refer to RWW screening tool question number three: Is it worth doing?).

Will the product be profitable at an acceptable risk?

Does launching the product make strategic sense?

Does the product fit your company’s overall growth strategy?

Will your company’s senior management support this project?

Based on the answers to the questions above, explain the reasons why IoT and connected cars are strategically important to the company.

Consider the evolving customer needs and desires; how would they impact the company’s product plan?

What do you think competitors will do (if anything) in response to changes in your company’s development plan?

Do you think that accelerating development of connected cars will help grow the company?

Burgermeister’s Daughter Narrative

After reading Ozment’s The Burgermeister’s Daughter, write an essay assuming the role of either: Lady Schenkin (Erasmus’s mother), Hermann Büschler (Anna’s father), Anna Büschler, or Daniel Treutwein. You may choose to show a correspondence between these people rather than just focusing on one individual. Discuss Anna’s behavior from the selected perspective, address the early rumors which circulated through the town, and also include your observations on Anna’s exile from Hall and the subsequent court battle between Anna and her family. Remember to make the format of your narrative clear (journal entry, letter, etc.) and to consider the audience of the narrator in order to make clear the motivation for the telling of the story.

Construct your essay using standard paragraphs. Essays should be between three and five pages, in standard format to receive credit. Remember to cite information from the book as you construct your narrative. While citation may seem to violate the authenticity of the narrative, for the purposes of historical thinking it helps me to see what from the book informed your narrative.

Describe various diagnoses of psychological disorders

Explain the contributions and limitations of various methods of assessment of psychological conditions

Compare various treatment approaches

Scenario

With graduation on the near horizon, Jamal is excited about completing his psychology degree. He is anticipating a highlight of his academic journey; the Psychology Department has asked Jamal and a few of his peers to engage in a panel presentation that will spotlight their knowledge on a topic relevant to abnormal psychology. Jamal is honored to have been asked to participate in the presentation and hopes to use this opportunity to add some valuable artifacts to his career ePortfolio.

As Jamal prepares the content of his presentation, he considers the role of research and practice in mental health. Likewise, Jamal considers the various biomedical and psychological approaches to treating psychological disorders, including the ethical factors that impact treatment. In addition, he considers the ways in which social support can promote education and awareness about psychological disorders. Lastly, Jamal considers the many ways in which we can enhance compassion and empathy for people who struggle with psychological disorders and perhaps help to humanize (and normalize) aspects of abnormal behavior.

For this project, Jamal and you will present your essay. Your Module Five Milestone, along with your reading assignments, will support your essay.

The One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House by Cherie Jones

The novel, How The One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House by Cherie Jones, provides us with insights into Adan’s life which helps us to understand why he did what he did. Adan’s mom died at childbirth, leaving him to be raised by his poor aunt who had no children. He was a bad kid in the neighborhood as a child growing, and his Aunt Preta hardly ever disciplined him for his bad behavior. She also had a boyfriend named John who became his role model since he was 10 years old. John taught Adan that the way to make a living was breaking into people’s property and stealing. John ends up going to jail for his criminal activities, and Adam became a professional thief.
BF Skinner explains how behavior could be taught through learning and reinforcing. We saw this played out very clearly in Adan’s life at a very young age, it became worst as he enters into adulthood. He began hurting his wife and killing people to get what he wants. So we should all learn a lesson from this novel as to how much an adult can impact a child’s behavior.

CASE ASSIGNMENT:

For this assignment, review the basic concepts of persuasion discussed in Cialdini (2001) and McLean (2012). Make sure you are clear on the distinction between argument, persuasion, and propaganda.

Once you have finished reviewing the background materials, think about communication that you receive in your daily life that is intended to sway your attitudes, opinion, or behavior. This could be communication from your employer, YouTube videos, TV advertisements, spam email, and a host of other communication that you are exposed to in your daily life. After reviewing some communication examples, write a 3-page paper with a minimum of two scholarly sources (citing and referencing) addressing the following questions:

1.)Describe a communication example that you have seen that is best described as propaganda. In addition to describing the communication, explain why you think this was propaganda rather than argumentation or persuasion.

2.)Now find a communication example that you think is a good example of argumentation.

3.)Last, but definitely not least, find a communication example that is best defined as persuasion and best fits the concepts of persuasion discussed in Cialdini (2001) or McLean (2012). Explain why you think this communication best fits the definition of persuasion rather than propaganda or argumentation.
