Information Storage and Retrieval Concepts

Consider a dealership that sells both new and used cars. Data requirements are summarized as follow:

  • All cars are identified by a VIN (unique alphanumeric identifier for each car), make, model, year, and color, millage, and state (new or used).
  • A salesperson may sell many cars, but each car is sold by only one salesperson.
  • A salesperson is identified by a unique employee ID, name, and date when started working for the dealership
  • A customer may buy many cars, but each car is bought by only one customer.
  • A customer is identified by a unique email address, name, phone number, and address
  • A salesperson writes an invoice for each car that is sold.
  • A buyer receives an invoice for each car that is bought.
  • An invoice has a unique invoice number, price to which the car was sold, and purchase date.

1. Create an ER diagram to represent the above data requirements.

2. Create a relational data model based on the ER diagram.

3. Write an SQL command to create the INVOICE table. Include all attributes, data types, and constraints for that table. Assume the database and all other tables have already been created.

4. Write an SQL command to set the millage value to 150 for a car with VIN 123VNOP

Classroom-Management Plan to Promote Strong and Positive relationships

Exam Content

As an educator, it will be beneficial to have a well-defined classroom-management plan that consists of rules and expectations that promote an environment of mutual respect and learning and support collaboration with parents/caregivers, colleagues, administrators, and cultural norms. This type of plan promotes strong and positive relationships with students and stakeholders.

Earlier in this course, you devised your classroom-management philosophy. Your classroom-management philosophy will help guide your classroom-management plan for this summative assessment.

 

Assessment Deliverable
Develop a 4- to 6-page comprehensive classroom-management plan that can be implemented in a specific elementary grade-level classroom. Develop it as it could potentially be shared with colleagues, administrators, or students’ parents/caregivers. Apply the principles of classroom management to develop and maintain a sense of community within a diverse (e.g., abilities, skills, cultures, and language learners) classroom. Consider utilizing information from previous assessments.

 

Identify an elementary grade level and include the following in your classroom-management plan:

Classroom-management model
Select and identify a classroom-management model that aligns to your philosophy and discuss the model in relation to student development, learning, and motivation.
Apply the principles of classroom management and knowledge of individual and group motivation and behavior to develop a structure for student discipline used in the classroom. Include a list of classroom rules and procedures for student behavior and their negative and positive consequences.
Describe a process that will be followed when a student behaves outside the scope of the basic classroom rules and consequences.
Explain how your classroom-management model supports cultural norms and promotes strong and positive relationships with students.

Student engagement, motivation, and the learning environment
Explain the relationship between motivation and student learning. Describe the strategies you would use to increase and maintain student motivation, foster active engagement in learning, promote positive social interaction, and build a supportive learning environment.
Describe the skills and attitudes you expect your diverse students to learn and demonstrate that promote positive social interactions and create a supportive learning environment.
Identify at least 3 engagement and management digital tools (e.g., apps, websites, devices) that can be used to provide students with a varied and dynamic learning experience that is familiar to them. Explain how you will integrate these digital tools to help you manage the classroom.

Classroom arrangement and physical layout
Design the arrangement and physical layout of a classroom for your identified grade level. You may also include photos or images of a classroom’s arrangement and physical layout.
Describe effective instructional methods that are supported by the physical layout and classroom arrangement.
Justify how this design or images influence a positive learning environment and promote appropriate student behavior.
Explain how your design or images will help manage your classroom’s diversity and social dynamics (e.g., students with learning disabilities, English learners).

Collaboration with families/caregivers and colleagues
Summarize at least 5 activities that are designed to establish and maintain a positive, collaborative relationship with families/caregivers. Explain how these activities promote the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical well-being of students.
Write a synopsis of a substitute teacher plan that details your classroom-management plan and class routines to effectively teach your students.

What do nomological theories (like Machery’s) of human nature amount to? What are the requirements on each view for some capacity/disposition/property to constitute or determine human nature on each of these views?

/in /by

DISCUSSION ESSAY

Descartes (1641) comes to the conclusion at the end of Meditation 2 that what “I” refers to is a thinking thing. Humans in this view are essentially thinking things. Descartes ultimately came to the conclusion that only humans have minds, other animals being mere automata. Birch et al. (2020) explain that the scientific consensus today is that non-human animals can possess consciousness (ie., that they are thinking things). Additionally, Turing (1950) suggests we should be open to the possibility that machines can convincingly engage in behaviors which are the basis for the attribution of consciousness and cognitive abilities in other animals.

Suppose that Descartes was wrong that all and only humans are thinking things and that, rather, other sorts of entities like non-human animals and machines could be thinking things as well. Would this undermine theories of human nature which aspire to identify essential properties of humans and are unique to them? Would this undermine theories (like that of Machery (2008) as presented in Lewens (2012)) which aspire to identify sets of traits which are widely distributed within the human species and which are so distributed as the result of some evolutionary process?

A full answer to this question should be sure to address the following:

•What do essentialist theories of human nature amount to?
•What do nomological theories (like Machery’s) of human nature amount to?
•What are the requirements on each view for some capacity/disposition/property to constitute or determine human nature on each of these views?
