Based on the reading material, pretend you are a social studies teacher, create a checklist of indicators that you will use to determine that your students are ready to learn. Your checklist should have at least five indicators, at least one of which should relate to the student’s motivation to or interest in the topic.
Do not simply write, “They have prior knowledge.” Instead, if you are teaching learners how to ride a two-wheeled bike, you might list, “They have prior knowledge of what a two-wheeled bike is. They understand the vocabulary of seat, handlebars, pedals, and wheels.” For each indicator on your checklist, list one thing you could do to help a learner who was not ready become more ready to learn.
Additional Instructions/Reminders:
1. Try to do a paragraph response for each of the five indicators, along with listing the one thing you could do to help a learner who was not ready become more ready to learn.
2. All of your responses should total at least one full page.
3. Make sure your responses are based on the attached reading material.
4. Make sure you refer to the reading material in writing your responses.

For each of the three primary theories of learning, describe in 2-4 sentences how a behaviorist educator, a cognitive learning theorist, and a constructivist might each approach teaching that topic. How do they differ? Are there any similarities between approaches?

You will be responding to a series of questions regarding educational philosophy and learning theories based on the attached reading material.
Step 1: Read the attached reading material.
Step 2: Pretend you are a social studies teacher. For each of the three primary theories of learning, describe in 2-4 sentences how a behaviorist educator, a cognitive learning theorist, and a constructivist might each approach teaching that topic. How do they differ? Are there any similarities between approaches? What theoretical approach do you think would work best for the topic, and why?
1. Your answer needs to be based on the attached reading material. So please make sure you read the attached reading material first. Please make sure you refer to the reading material on your responses.
2. You can respond to the questions using 3 to 5 paragraphs, but please make sure it is at least 1 page long all together.
3. Make sure you are answering EVERY part of the question as stated on “step 2.”

A Case Study in Equality of Opportunity
Learning Objective: The theme of equality of opportunity is examined through the specific lens of a case study.
For your assignment this week, research two groups in American society. Use research to provide support for your persuasive argument. For your research, you can use data from peer-reviewed sources, PEW, Gallup, Brookings, or a Federal Agency such as the U.S. Census Bureau. Devote at least 250 words to each group.

Identify a group in American society that has been, at any time since 1633, treated with less than an equal right to equality of opportunity. This group might identify by race, religion, gender, ethnicity, cultural or historical background, handicap, sexual preference, geographic location, education, job, immigration status, and so on. However, over time, this group has failed to overcome obstacles that have restricted their rights. Use research to find an example of this group’s lack of success.

Conclude your research with a 100-word discussion of why one group has been successful while the other group continues to struggle. What did you learn by comparing and contrasting these two groups? What is our role as individuals to help obtain equal rights for others?

For additional assistance on conducting research, review the following.

Demonstrate that you understand basic concept of Normal Distribution. In two small paragraphs describe a couple of properties/rules of Normal distribution. Give one example of some practical case where we can use Normal distribution

Demonstrate that you understand basic concept of Normal Distribution.
In two small paragraphs describe a couple of properties/rules of Normal distribution.

Hint: look for KEY FACTS and DEFINITIONS in sections 6.1 and 6.2 of eText.

Give one example of some practical case where we can use Normal distribution (for instance, IQ scores follow a normal distribution of probabilities with the mean IQ of 100 and a standard deviation around the mean of about 15 IQ points.)

Part 2. Assign your numbers for mean μ and standard deviation σ.
Make sure μ is about four times bigger than σ.

Then select any number “a” below or above mean μ,
but not too far from μ , difference (a – μ) should be less than 3σ.
For example, μ = 80, σ = 20, a = 90 (or a = 75).

Find following two probabilities:

1) P(x < a)
2) P(x > a)

First, use formula: z = (a – μ)/σ to calculate z-value
and then use Appendix Table for Standard Normal Distribution.
You can find tables in Appendix to our eText or attached below.

You are an accounting student at Berkeley College and will not graduate for another year. But because of your excellent grades so far, you have been able to land a job in the purchasing department of a retailer. One of the purchasing agents in your company is negotiating for the receipt of a very large order of uninsured goods from a supplier. The purchasing agent is able to get a better deal on the goods if they are shipped FOB shipping point rather than FOB destination. The agent doesn’t know the difference between these two concepts. He also doesn’t understand why choosing one over the other should make any difference to the company. As a student of accounting at Berkeley College, you know well the difference between these 2 concepts and you know why one would be a better choice over the other in the case of uninsured goods. Explain these two concepts in this discussion and tell the purchasing agent which shipping method is preferable and why. In addition to your response, please comment to at least one classmate’s post including information from Chapter 6 in your eText.

Explain the difference between the Perpetual and Periodic inventory systems and let us know why anyone would use Periodic inventory in this computerized age.

Draft a 2–3-page double-spaced memorandum to the CEO, Casandra (Cassie) Cardigan and discuss the following: The elements one must establish to bring a cause of action based on negligence. Potential defenses that CARDWARE and Candie may use against Myra’s claim.

/in /by

Candie Cardigan has been asked to model CARDWARE’s newest sweater line that is made of thin and yet warm material, called Naturally There, as it can withstand temperatures of 30 below 0. Because this will provide CARDWARE with good publicity of its newest clothing line, she agrees to walk the runway in Fashion City. The modeling event is being held at the Easton Hotel. Celebrities and those involved in the fashion industry will be in attendance. Several models precede Candie and her debut of Naturally There. Clad in a tasteful skirt, 4-inch high heels and a green Naturally There sweater, Candie proceeds to the end of the runway. A small wrinkle in the carpet causes Candie’s left shoe to get caught and she falls over the end of the runway onto the row of judges. Unfortunately, Myra, a judge and world renowned model, suffers a broken nose and cut to her face from one of Candie’s shoes.

Myra wants to bring a lawsuit based on negligence against CARDWARE and Candie.

You are the paralegal working for CARDWARE’s corporate counsel and have been asked to draft a 2–3-page double-spaced memorandum to the CEO, Casandra (Cassie) Cardigan and discuss the following:

  1. The elements one must establish to bring a cause of action based on negligence.
  2. Potential defenses that CARDWARE and Candie may use against Myra’s claim.
