Analyze the components, challenges, and benefits of each data collection method.
Assignment – Evaluation
Instructions
In this assignment, you will create a presentation in which you propose strategies for assessing a training program’s effectiveness. This includes information about both the assessment methods and the data collection methods. As a reminder, assessment methods are used to determine how well learners retain knowledge and are able to master objectives based on content. Data collection methods are used to collect feedback on the effectiveness of training.
You are to create a 10–15 slide presentation in which you:
· STEP 1: Identify two assessment methods you can use to gauge learner mastery of content.
. List the components, challenges, and benefits of each assessment method.
. Align each assessment method to one of your objectives to show how the results demonstrate learner mastery.
· STEP 2: Compare data collection methods you can use to evaluate your training program.
. Analyze the components, challenges, and benefits of each data collection method.
. Identify at least five key questions when assessing the effectiveness of the training program.
. Analyze two data collection methods (tools) you could use to evaluate your training program. Some examples of data collection methods include interviews, surveys, observations, and focus groups.
· STEP 3: Write a two-slide summary in which you choose one of the two assessment methods above, one data collection method, and explain how trainees will be evaluated.
. Summarize your rationale for choosing your assessment method including the challenges and benefits.
. Summarize your rationale for the data collection tool you selected including the ease of implementation of the tool.
. Summarize how you will evaluate training for trainees.
Discuss one or more milestones, rituals, or experiences in your life that you felt signified your passage into adulthood.
Instructions
In Chapter 4, your textbook reviews the importance of rites of passage and milestones in the transition into adulthood. This question is comprised of two parts. Part I: In your opinion, when do you think a person should be considered an adult in American society? Why? Are there certain milestones or rituals that determine adulthood, or is it a certain age? Explain. Part II: Briefly discuss your own journey to adulthood. Discuss one or more milestones, rituals, or experiences in your life that you felt signified your passage into adulthood. How do you think this helped you in the transition? Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary.
Which of the following factors of production will be most important to your business?
DiscussionFactors of Production
The F actors of Production are often referred to as the the building blocks of the economy. You might be asking why. It’s because the Factors of Production are what people use to produce goods and services. Your book states on page 11, “Factors of Production are the resources used to create wealth: land, labor, capital, entrepreneurship, and knowledge.”
Discussion Topic
Starbucks is a worldwide brand that is known for creating a community coffee house feel with ethically sourced coffee. Let’s look at the Factors of Production for Starbucks. The coffee chain needs land for the coffee shops, capital to purchase the coffee and the machinery to produce specialty coffee drinks, the labor of the baristas who have the knowledge of how to make the specialty drinks, and finally the entrepreneur Howard Schultz. Howard Schultz provided the last factor of production by being the first person to capitalize on a market for coffee houses and connecting among the other four factors of production.
In your original post, answer the following:
Now it’s your turn. You own a donut shop right next door to Starbucks. Answer the following questions about your donut shop and the factors of production:
· Explain (like the Starbucks example) how your donut shop would use the Factors of Production.
· Which of the following factors of production will be most important to your business? Explain why you choose this factor.
· Land
· Labor
· Capital
· Entrepreneurship
· Knowledge
· According to your book, technology is part of the ‘Knowledge’ factor of production. Technology helps to increase the efficiency of the factors of production. How would you use technology in your donut shop?

ASSIGNMENT # 3
Unit 5 Project: Ecology and Biodiversity
We’ve spent the last units discussing ecology and biodiversity. Now, let’s apply these concepts to unique real world scenarios – how the actions of humans are influencing the planet.
Major Threats to Biodiversity
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. Biodiversity refers to the number of genes, species, individual organisms within a given species, and biological communities within a geographic area. Biodiversity loss can occur as a result of natural ecological disturbances, such as volcanic eruptions; however, exponential growth of the human population has led to a rate of biodiversity loss that is 100-1,000 times natural baseline rates. Human activities are the main drivers behind the drastic loss of biodiversity that the planet is currently experiencing. As the human population grows, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are transformed by human efforts to find and produce food, adapt the landscape to human settlement, and create opportunities for trading with other communities. Biodiversity losses typically accompany these actions.
Your task
You are to evaluate threats and assess solutions to the loss of biodiversity. You will create a research brief that will evaluate one of the major threats to biodiversity and possible solutions to avoid biodiversity loss.
What needs to be included
You can present your brief as a multimedia project of your choice. Use your strengths and creativity to create a professional and informative presentation that would be helpful to policy makers. This could be a video, a digital pamphlet, a PowerPoint, a blog post – whatever! This assignment is intended to help me gauge your knowledge of ecology, conservation and biodiversity.
To be considered for credit, all of the following items must be addressed in your research briefing:
1. In your own words, discuss what biodiversity is and why it is important. Explain how biodiversity influences ecosystems.
2. Select ONE of the following major threats to biodiversity:
·
o Habitat loss
o Invasive species
o Pollution
o Overharvesting
o Climate change
3. Why is your chosen threat a serious problem?
4. How has exponential human population growth contributed to your chosen threat?
5. How are non-human organisms directly affected by your chosen threat?
6. How are humans impacted, either directly or indirectly, by your chosen threat?
7. What is currently being done to solve the problems caused by your chosen threat to biodiversity? Are there regulations or laws in place? If so, name and describe one.
8. What can people do in their daily lives to help combat your chosen threat to biodiversity?
9. What innovative solutions either currently exist and should be implemented more, or are on the horizon? How do these solutions work? (This answer should not be the same as number 7 or 8) Please note: innovative means creative or advanced. Riding a bicycle and recycling, while great, are not innovative solutions
9. Display at least two images in your project that provide the audience with understanding of why your chosen threat to biodiversity is a problem and of an innovative solution to the problem. One image should be of the problem and one image should be of an innovative solution. A graph or chart that illustrates why your chosen threat to biodiversity is a problem or an infographic of a how a solution works are great ideas. You must include a brief 1-2 sentence caption for each image. Caption should be immediately beneath the image. Caption should be a short, simple explanation of the image. While you are welcome to display images that are just of animals, plants, or factories, these images will not count as one of your two images. I.e., A picture of a polar bear, a picture of a factory with smoke rising out of it, or an illustration of the earth on fire do not provide the audience with understanding of why your chosen threat to biodiversity is a problem.
10. Display your sources: at least three sources must be cited. You do not need to use MLA/APA style. Just supply the full URL on a works cited slide, page, etc. (If you choose to make a video, you still need to visually display your sources. You can display the sources in your video or upload a second file to Canvas with the sources listed.)
·
o References from government websites, academic institutions, or organizations that are recognized authorities on the subject are recommended
o Do not use websites, such as Wikipedia, forums, or personal blogs

Do you think there is a qualitative difference between believing some races are inferior and the belief that marriage should only be between one man and one woman?
Introduction
Facione & Gittens (2016) state, “Strong critical thinking about complex and difficult social policies demands that we respect those with whom we disagree” (p. 344). The authors of your text ask us to take seriously the points of view of those with whom we disagree.
- Should I respect the point of view of a misogynist – a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women?
- Should I respect the point of view of a racist?
- How about someone who believes marriage is only between one man and one woman?
- How about someone who does not believe that humans are contributing to the conditions that cause climate change?
- How about someone who denies that the Holocaust occurred?
Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, pick one point of view from the five questions above that you find particularly repugnant – one that you think is completely unjustifiable. If you were in conversation with such a person, how could you ethically respond to the statement of such a point of view? Keep in mind that you are expressing a value opinion, which requires ideological reasoning, so you may want to review Chapter 13.
As you form your response, keep in mind the following; these are things you need to think about but not necessarily to write about in your initial post:
- Reflect if you are using System-1 or System-2 thinking? Are your responses tinged with cognitive bias?
- Do you think there is a qualitative difference between believing some races are inferior and the belief that marriage should only be between one man and one woman?
- Do you think there is a qualitative difference between not believing in human contribution to climate change and not believing in the Holocaust?
Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least one peer. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.
Writing Requirements
- Minimum of 2 posts (1 initial & 1 follow-up)
- Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source)
- APA format for in-text citations and list of references
