For our first reading response, I’d like you to choose one of the chapters we’ve read in our Climate Change text by Henson or the interview of Elizabeth Yeampierre, “Unequal Impact: The Deep Links Between Racism and Climate Change.”

For the response, please summarize the main points of the chapter or the interview and provide a more detailed analysis of one of the subsections of the chapter or one of the questions asked of Yeampierre. A more detailed analysis would go beyond the summary and ask questions such as: Is there consensus about the topic presented? Who is involved–scientists, community members, governments? Do you find the claims or evidence to be compelling? What further questions do you have that aren’t answered in the subsection of the chapter or interview?

Explain the resource and how you see Operant Conditioning principles applied.

Examples of Operant Conditioning on the web

ASSIGNMENT:

We have been reviewing some technical information so far and comparing the differences and similarities between Classical (Respondent) Conditioning and Operant (Consequences and Reinforcement) Conditioning.

Now it is time for you to do some research to see what resources are out there.

Please go to the internet and find a resource (agency, organization or program, book, website, video, etc.) where Operant Conditioning principles are used (reinforcement/consequences). Please do not use the same Big Bang video clip I have already supplied you with in a prior lesson.

Please copy and paste the source/link into your post.

Explain the resource and how you see Operant Conditioning principles applied. (200 word minimum)

After responding to the initial post above, please also respond to the following two students regarding the same topic (100 word minimum EACH)

Student one:

i chose to use a clip from youtube .In the movie Cinderella her stepmothers tells Cinderella she can have a chance to go to the prince ball if she does all of her chores. This is an example of positive reinforcement . The stimulus is the chance to go to the ball if she completes all of her work around the house.

Student two:

The instructor is using positive reinforcement to get the students to do a desired behavior. The instructor just kept rewarding the students until he got them to do what he wanted. The students were unaware of the behavior the instructor wanted them to perform but eventually figured it out.

• Introduction
• Problem statement and Research questions
• General and specific objectives
• Method

Apply Hall’s encoding/decoding model to a media text widely argued to be controversial. What is the media producers’ preferred meaning?

CHOOSE AN ESSAY PROMPT

Decoding Controversial Media: Apply Hall’s encoding/decoding model to a media text widely argued to be controversial. What is the media producers’ preferred meaning? What is one popular negotiated or oppositional reading? Use mainstream reviews and criticism, news pieces, fan pages, and/or other sources to illustrate the decoding position. Ultimately, what does your research reveal about the balance of power between producers and audiences in determining meaning?

Genre Mutation: Choose a medium-specific genre or subgenre and trace how it has changed. Start off by defining your genre and its traditional codes and conventions before describing how these have mutated over time. What specific changes have influenced these transformations? Focus on two particular case studies from the same genre. How do they represent your argument? Ultimately, what do your examples illustrate about how genre must be understood?

The Adaptation: Analyze a text adapted from one medium to another. What were the economic motivations behind its adaptation, and what challenges did producers face? How specifically did the mediamakers “squeeze” or “stretch” the adaptation, and why? How did fans of the adapted text respond to the adaptation, especially regarding its squeezing or stretching? Ultimately, what does your case study show about the benefits and challenges behind adaptations?

Requirement: Write a five page essay (12-point font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins) responding to one of the prompts below. It will be evaluated on the basis of your argumentation, use of supporting materials, and clarity and organization. Write as if for a general audience. You will be expected to perform research by consulting appropriate sources (trade, popular, academic publications, and/or other applicable material). In addition to these, you should also draw upon readings and lecture. Rely on lecture, however, only for ideas not discussed in the readings. Wikipedia and other general reference sources may be useful as you initially look into the background of your topic, but they are not sufficient resources from which to cite and build your argument.

Think of the essay—complete with an introduction, thesis, and conclusion—as a research project. Include in-text citations and an alphabetized bibliography of all sources you cite (including those from class). Use MLA format.

What does your professor do about smartphones in the “live” classroom? Is there a policy for their use?

Introduction

Smartphones. We can’t live without them. Many college students are taking online courses and the debate of whether or not to text in the classroom is not an issue in that environment. However, most students that take online classes are taking “live” classes at the same time. What does your professor do about smartphones in the “live” classroom? Is there a policy for their use?

The purpose of this assignment is to think about how texting during class lecture might be affecting our listening comprehension and ultimately our grade in that class.

4. What do the authors recommend that instructors do when the semester begins in terms of talking to the students about texting in class?
