The equipment company’s executive salesperson, Jim, discussed options at length with her and invited her and her significant other to an upcoming all-expenses-paid lavish retreat at a five-star hotel in Hawaii to see demonstrations of the beds and to hear a comprehensive sales pitch. Betty thought to herself, “We badly need some relaxation and stress relief. Hawaii would be so much fun. Would it be wrong for us to go?”

Assignment 1: Retrospective Analysis of Personality
Due Week 9 and worth 220 points
In this assignment, begin by taking a retrospective look at your life history, to discuss which aspects of your personality have remained consistent and which aspects of your personality have changed over time. Then, analyze the roles of nature and nurture in shaping your personality. Subsequently, discuss possible sources of inaccuracy and bias in any retrospective analysis. Finally, discuss the reasons why systematic scientific studies are considered more valuable than individual accounts.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Section 1 (1-2 paragraphs):

Choose one of the following areas of your brain and explain what it does:

Thalamus
Reticular formation
Brain stem (pons and medulla)
Cerebellum
Limbic system
One of the four lobes of the cerebral cortex

Explain how the area you described contributes to a specific activity from your everyday life.  (Example: During horseback riding, the cerebellum integrates information from the motor systems and balance system.)

Section 2 (1-2 paragraphs):
All of us have been shaped by both nature (biology) and nurture (environment), making us the persons we are today.  In most cases, it is difficult to completely disentangle the separate effects of nature vs. nurture with much certainty.  However, we can make some educated guesses based on our knowledge of familial tendencies that we may have inherited, as well as knowledge of our environment and experiences.  In this section, we ask for you to make some educated guesses about the roles of nature and nurture in your life.

Describe the role of nature (biology) in shaping what kind of person you are today. Provide a specific example of the role of nature.
Describe the role of nurture (environment) in shaping what kind of person you are today.  Provide a specific example of the role of nurture.

Identify specific memory biases that could affect how you remember your past.  Include factors related to cognition.
Use specific examples from your own life.

Section 5 (1 paragraph):

Describe why the science of psychology places more emphasis on results based on scientific studies than it does on personal experiences and anecdotes.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format.  Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
To keep this essay short and manageable, your only sources for your paper should be your own experience and the Webtext. For this reason, APA citations and references are not required for this assignment.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.  The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Relate psychological concepts to real-world situations.
Describe the major theories of personality development, learning, memory, cognition, consciousness, development and social psychology.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in psychology.
Write clearly and concisely about psychology using proper writing mechanics.

The impact of mobile devices on cybersecurity

THE IMPACT OF THE NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND (NCLB) ACT ON PRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATION

Writing Assignment #2 will be a critical annotated bibliography of 12 sources.

In this assignment you will write a list of at least 12 references in alphabetical order in APA format.  In addition, each reference will be followed by a short analytical summary of 150-200 words.

 

At the end of the short summary, you will include a sentence or two that critically analyzes the source and that mentions distinctive features about the article and why it may or may not be useful for you in writing a literature review.

You may select a topic of your choice.  However, when selecting a topic, keep in mind that it should be a topic on which a number of studies or scholarly articles have been published.  

Examples of topics students have chosen in the past or that would be workable for this assignment are the following:

  • The impact of the Internet on research methods of students and plagiarism in student papers
  • The impact of The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act on primary school education
  • The impact of mobile devices on cybersecurity

 

Overall, in considering a topic, you might consider your major, topics that will be covered in future classes you plan to take at UMUC, and your interests.

For example, please examine the following ideas:

  • If your major is criminal justice, you might consider researching criminal behavior among homeless individuals, criminal behavior among youth, society’s perception of law enforcement, etc.
  • If your major is psychology, you might consider researching counseling strategies, consumer behavior in online shopping, decision-making in upper-management positions, etc.
  • If your major is history, you might consider researching theories on the Civil War, studies on labor patterns in the United States, an aspect of military history, etc.
  • If your major is social science, you might consider researching community responses to health care threats, co-parenting patterns after divorce, etc.
  • If your major is graphic communication, you might consider researching different categories of graphic communication technology, trends in graphic communication through the years, etc.

 

Whatever topic you consider, keep in mind that it should be a topic on which a number of studies or scholarly articles have been published.  You will conduct all or most of your research using UMUC’s OneSearch function in finding scholarly articles.

This assignment will be an analytical/critical/ annotated bibliography.  The difference between the descriptive/informative annotated bibliography and the analytical/critical annotated bibliography is explained in the following video:

http://www.umuc.edu/library/tutorials/bibliography/bibliography.shtml

The transcript is at http://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/bibliography_tutorial.cfm#transcript.

 

The following are some links to sample Annotated Bibliographies.  Some of them give examples in APA format. You may want to observe these examples and perhaps model your work after them.

  • A variety of samples from The University of North Carolina Writing Center, including these specific examples of APA-style annotations.
  • Some instruction from Cornell University.  The website also provides more information on the process of writing an annotated bibliography.
  • Some samples from Memorial University in Newfoundland.
  • Some instruction from East Carolina University.

The following is a suggested rubric for this assignment.  Your instructor may modify this rubric.

Describe the different forms of competition that take place among various types of health care organizations.

Competition in Health Care
One of the trends marking the continuing transformation of the U.S. health care industry is the dramatic increase in the pace of competition. The heightened competition is taking place among hospitals, health plans, physician groups, and drug companies, and between physicians and hospitals, and hospitals and health plans. Listen to the Looking Ahead: The Future of Health Care Policy podcast from National Public Radio (NPR). Then, prepare a three- to five-page paper in which you:

Describe the different forms of competition that take place among various types of health care organizations.
Evaluate the benefits and pitfalls of competition in health care and suggest alternatives if competition was not the primary driver of operations in the U.S. health care system.
Explain the elements of successful competition and the use of competitive intelligence.
Describe the influence competition has on the services offered by health care organizations and the choices patients have.

Describe the model you are supporting to best control costs without compromising the quality and access to health care, and explain how the model works.

/in /by

Describe the model you are supporting to best control costs without compromising the quality and access to health care, and explain how the model works.

The focus in health care reform is cost control in light of annual double-digit inflation since the late 1990s and the consumption of nearly 17% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009 (more than any other country in the world). The debate is over how to reduce the rate of spending for health care while preserving quality and access to care for patients. Research at least 2 methods of reducing the percentage of the GDP spent on health care. You will need to be able to describe how you would do this in specific terms. This can be a number of approaches, such as the following:

Completely dismantle the current system and start over—A monumental task
Revise the current payment system to reflect current economic constraints
Cut Medicare and Medicaid
Insurance reform
National health insurance based on the Massachusetts Model
Malpractice reform
Legislation such as the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, the Affordable Care Act (2010), and others
Provide the following elements in your paper:

Describe the model you are supporting to best control costs without compromising the quality and access to health care, and explain how the model works.
Analyze the method that you are supporting, detailing the strengths and weaknesses from all stakeholder group (e.g., patient, provider, and third-party payer) perspectives.
Provide an example of the model in real time or as a scenario.
Summarize the anticipated results in terms of costs and benefits.
