What makes the human service field distinct from other fields, such as social work and counseling psychology.
The student will post one thread of at least 300 words or each thread, students must demonstrate course-related knowledge and support assertionswith at least 2 scholarly citations in APA format. Acceptable sources include the class textbookand/or peer-reviewed articles from within the last five years.
Part 1: Chapter one of the course textbook discusses what makes the human service field distinct from other fields, such as social work and counseling psychology. For the first part of your thread, discuss why the human service field is a much-needed profession and share one or two possible careers that you might be interested in pursuing. Remember that the Human Service degree is designed to prepare individuals with the necessary skills to participate in agency-related activities (community care, court, agency, etc.) and does not fulfill licensure requirements. Students planning to apply for state licensure should contact their academic advisor for information on degree programs designed to fulfill state licensure requirements.
Part 2: Based on your study of the Learn materials for this Module: Week, what do you consider the most important historical event in the history of the human services profession? Why? While you are sharing your opinion here, you must demonstrate informed opinion by supporting your points with references to the course textbook.

Reflect on the achievement gap between students from low-income and high-income households, explain one cause of this gap, and evaluate one potential action step linked to that cause.
This week, you will reflect on the achievement gap between students from low-income and high-income households, explain one cause of this gap, and evaluate one potential action step linked to that cause.
Read this article that outlines basic facts about the current income-based achievement gap: https://www.childtrends.org/blog/the-other-achievement-gap-poverty-and-academic-success
You may also want to review the textbook and/or follow some of the links in the article to explore certain topics in greater depth.
1. Drawing on social reproduction theory, explain why there is such a large achievement gap between students from low-income and high-income households.
2. Choose one social condition that researchers feel contributes greatly to this gap (from the textbook or article above). Explain the relationship between that condition and the gap in achievement.
3. Then describe an action that researchers hope will make a difference to that specific condition. Provide an evidence-based evaluation of this claim: will this action alleviate the achievement gap? What are some advantages or limitations of this proposed action?
SHORT EXAMPLE for how to answer #2/#3: Research shows low-income students have fewer books read to them in the early years, and they come to Kindergarten with lower reading-readiness. The proposed solution is to give free books to families along with lessons for parents to encourage reading. This is a great idea because of X, Y, and Z. However, it has limitations A and B.
Choose a popular product or service and create a fan club for it. Your fan club should include a name, logo, tagline, and a mission statement that conveys your passion and loyalty for the product or service. Develop a marketing initiative that showcases your fan club and its dedication to the brand.
Choose a popular product or service and create a ‘fan club’ for it. Your fan club should include a name, logo, tagline, and a mission statement that conveys your passion and loyalty for the product or service. Develop a marketing initiative that showcases your fan club and its dedication to the brand. The initiative can be a social media campaigns, influencer marketing, experiential marketing, and any other creative strategies that will engage other consumers and build brand loyalty. Develop an engaging, visual advertisement for your fan club (develop a visual/advertisement of infographic) and present it as a discussion board post with a narrative by Thursday 8 pm.

Create a responsibility matrix for the WAG expansion project that you have just been hired as an Assistant Project Manager. You will be using the RACI matrix design that you learned about in this module to assign responsibilities.
For this assignment, create a responsibility matrix for the WAG expansion project that you have just been hired as an Assistant Project Manager. You will be using the RACI matrix design that you learned about in this module to assign responsibilities.
As you might remember, the project is for an expansion of the shoe line that WAG has in the United Kingdom, which includes a new factory and artisan workshop. Some of the key stakeholders are:
Clive Edwards CEO of WAG, who oversees all of the operations in both the US and the UK and is the project sponsor
Cecil Moneypenny – Factory Manager in the UK, who will oversee the plant operations in the UK
Kingston Bryce – Factory Manager in the US, who will oversee the plant operations in the US
Include yourself as the Assistant Project Manager
Greg Hasselbach CFO for WAG
Kaplan Thunderbird Commercial Real Estate Agent in the UK
Some of the key tasks of the project include:
Location selection in the UK
Equipment selection for the new factory
Hiring employees in the UK
Mapping processes from the US factory to the new UK factory
Mapping all of the tasks for the project
There may be some additional tasks that need to be added. Use your imagination and include them in your matrix.
Be sure to review the lecture on Understanding a Responsibility Matrix.
Media Convergence can be defined as The interlinking of computing and ICTs, communication networks, and media content that has occurred with the development and popularization of the Internet, and the convergent products, services and activities that have emerged in the digital media space. Discuss the value of media convergence as well as the pitfalls.
Media Convergence:
Media Convergence can be defined as The interlinking of computing and ICTs, communication networks, and media content that has occurred with the development and popularization of the Internet, and the convergent products, services and activities that have emerged in the digital media space. Convergence can also mean the merger of people, resources, media technologies ,content, and industries. And as you are learning in the classroom, convergence is considered by many to be a potentially positive trend in the media today. It is a trend that now allows us to find news on Web sites… In general, media convergence has many advantages, including the ease at which we get information. On the other hand, media convergence has led to information overload and restricted our activities given that we now spend more time with the media, especially social media.
Discuss the value of media convergence as well as the pitfalls
Explain how your academic and professional goals align with Waldens vision, mission, social change message, social determinants of health, and university outcomes as well asand the AACN DNP Essentials.
Review the AACN DNP Essentials document and reflect on the competencies presented. Think of your personal and academic goals and consider how those goals align with both Walden Universitys mission and vision and with the AACN DNP Essentials.

This assignment is due on Sunday, no late work is accepted.
if you would like to download a sample of a very good After the Fact answer from an actual student in U.S. History 2.

Data MiningCluster Analysis: Advanced Concepts and Algorithms Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of treating clustering as an optimization problem.
Chapter 9 : Data MiningCluster Analysis: Advanced Concepts and Algorithms – Check Point
Answer the following questions. Please ensure to use the Author, YYYY APA citations with any content brought into the assignment.
For sparse data, discuss why considering only the presence of non-zero values might give a more accurate view of the objects than considering the actual magnitudes of values. When would such an approach not be desirable?
Describe the change in the time complexity of K-means as the number of clusters to be found increases.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of treating clustering as an optimization problem. Among other factors, consider efficiency, non-determinism, and whether an optimization-based approach captures all types of clusterings that are of interest.
What is the time and space complexity of fuzzy c-means? Of SOM? How do these complexities compare to those of K-means?
Explain the difference between likelihood and probability.
Give an example of a set of clusters in which merging based on the closeness of clusters leads to a more natural set of clusters than merging based on the strength of the connection (interconnectedness) of clusters.
