Prepare a frequency distribution for a variable relevant to your organization or field of study.

/in /by

For this assignment you will construct a frequency distribution and histogram for an example dataset and describe some general inferences that might be made from the analysis. You may select one of the data files from chapter 2 (datasets), or create your own. You may even modify one of the chapter 2 datasets to represent variables that are relevant to your organization or field of study. Once you have selected or created your dataset, complete the following assignment.
Prepare a frequency distribution for a variable relevant to your organization or field of study. Include a histogram as a visual representation of the frequency distribution. Using the “empirical rule”, what are some basic assumptions that might be made about the data you’ve chosen to analyze? How might this basic analysis lead to improved decision-making in practice? Present your findings in a 400-word (minimum) executive summary that includes the histogram.

Assignment 4 Major Research Paper

Weighting: 45% of final grade

Length: 2,000-2500 words (approximately 8-10 pages. Do NOT include the title page or reference list as part of the word count.) Due: After Unit 5

This assignment provides you with an opportunity to explore a specific topic in detail and to integrate your knowledge about violence against women with your understanding of the factors that contribute to women’s vulnerability to violence and the violence perpetrated against them. It also allows you to go beyond the course materials in formulating an in-depth analysis and discussion of your selected topic.

Prepare a major research paper on one (1) of the following topics:

  • Develop a comparative analysis that explores Canada’s and a non-Western country’s attitudes toward intimate partner abuse and/or sexual abuse. Your analysis should include prevalence rates in each country, the socio-cultural factors affecting women’s vulnerabilities in each country, and the similarities and differences in cultural contexts affecting women’s vulnerability to violence in each country. Conclude with an analysis of interventions that would be effective both in Canada and in the non-Western country you selected.
  • Select a form of violence against women that was not carefully examined in this course.

Introduce your topic with a brief discussion of the nature and extent of this form of abuse. Your gendered analysis should include a description of the issue; a discussion of prevalence rates; the broad consequences of the situation; and the possible socio-cultural, political, and economic factors that affect women’s vulnerability to this form of violence. Conclude with an analysis of interventions that might be effective in addressing this problem.

  • Develop a comparative analysis that looks at issues surrounding intimate partner abuse and/or sexual abuse in Canada’s Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women’s populations. Your gendered analysis should include prevalence rates and a discussion of the similarities and differences in the socio-cultural, political, and economic factors that affect both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women’s vulnerabilities to violence. Conclude with an analysis of strategies that would be effective in eliminating violence against not only Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women in Canada, but women everywhere.
  • Identify a specific group of Canadian women based on their age, race, class, sexuality, or ability (e.g. immigrant women, elderly women, lesbians, women with disabilities, women living in poverty). Describe and discuss their specific experiences with abuse using Canadian women generally as the referent group. Your gendered analysis should include prevalence rates and a discussion of the similarities and differences in the socio-cultural, political, and economic factors that affect this group’s vulnerabilities to violence. Conclude with an analysis of strategies that would be effective in eliminating violence against not only the women in the group you have isolated, but women everywhere.
  • A relevant topic of your choosing. Requires the consent of the course tutor.

Describe how students could utilize one of the intervention strategies at home.

/in /by

Upon identifying an appropriate intervention tier and aligning intervention strategies, teachers can begin the implementation process. Implementing identified intervention strategies during instruction will help to not only meet the needs of students but help teachers to identify where to monitor and adjust instruction as needed. Implementation and evaluation of intervention is an ongoing process when working with all students.
Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.
Working with your mentor teacher, identify a math lesson or time during which interventions from the Clinical Field Experience C intervention plan can be implemented to benefit the previously identified students.
After implementing the intervention strategies, seek feedback from your mentor teacher about how it went. Continue discussion regarding the strengths and potential improvements of the students.
Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
After the math lesson or activity, summarize and reflect upon your experiences in 250-500 words, being sure to:
Briefly describe the students identified needs and explain how interventions were selected. Rationalize choices in relation to the needs of the students.
Describe how the students performed on the math activities and reflect upon your experience implementing the intervention strategies. Include possible changes you would make in the future when implementing these strategies.
Describe how students could utilize one of the intervention strategies at home.
Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

Vulnerability and Risk Management
This unit provided a series of interesting and intriguing concepts on vulnerability and risk management in the assigned readings and media. After you have completed the text and article readings and viewed the videos, it is time for application to your selection Fortune 1000 company.

In this discussion, assess the vulnerability and risk to the supply chain of your selected company. Your first step is deciding the scope of the evaluation. Which global supply chain will be evaluated? Then, based on the unit readings, assess risk and vulnerability, using the using the concepts of supply chain as an interactive system model from Figure 13.1 on page 266 in your Global logistics and Supply Chain Management text, and/or the risk framework from Figure 1 in Liu and Daniels’s 2017 article, “Towards a Value-Based Method for Risk Assessment in Supply Chain Operations.” The risk profile applied for parts of the assignments in Units 3 and 6 become your starting point. Think of this discussion as a starting point on vulnerability and risk analysis which you build for your Unit 9 assignment.

Your initial post must include all the assigned readings and must be a minimum of 250 words in length, with no maximum. Remember to list your references in current APA format at the end of your post
