describe the manner in which your own theories of instructional design and development have matured or changed since the beginning of this course.

Now that you have completed your project and are in the last week of the course, reflect on your experience and growth by addressing the following:

  • Reflect on your time in the course and provide two examples that describe the manner in which your own theories of instructional design and development have matured or changed since the beginning of this course.
Explain how one or more of the currently available COVID19 vaccines work to reduce the incidence and/or severity of COVID19 infections.

For this week’s discussion, you will select a topic related to the immunology or pathophysiology of COVID19. Your post must be at least 120 words of your own (please make sure to use your own words- do not just copy and paste from other resources). Make sure to post a link to the resources you use. You should also reply to at least 2 other post with 35 words or more and at least one follow up question.   You may select one of the topics below or a different topic related to COVID19 immunology of your choice.  You do NOT have to answer every question listed for each topic- these are just suggestions for some of the topics to research from an immunological perspective. Initial post is due by Thursday (6 points) and two replies with at least one follow-up question (2 points each) by Sunday.

For one bonus point on this discussion, reply to a classmate’s question with an additional post of at least 35 words or more. Make sure to cite the source for your answer.

1. Briefly discuss treatment of COVID19 with one or more of the following:

  • monoclonal antibodies, e.g.,  Eli Lilly’s bebtelovimab, Astra Zeneca’s Evusheld (tixagevimab and cilgavimab)
  • antiviral medications, e.g.,  Pfizer’s Paxlovid (the drug administered to President Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci when they contracted Covid summer 2022),  Gilead’s remdesivir(administered to former President Trump in October 2020), Merck’s molnupiravir

Some of the questions you might consider are:  For which patient populations are these treatments indicated? How does each treatment work to reduce the incidence and/or severity of COVID19? At what point in the illness is each specific treatment effective and why? What is Paxlovid Covid rebound? Which monoclonal antibody products are currently recommended for treatment and/or prevention of COVID19? Which antigenic epitopes of the SARS-CoV-2 virus do these monoclonal antibodies target?  Why has treatment with some formerly effective monoclonal antibodies been discontinued, e.g., Regeneron’s REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab; administered to former President Trump in October 2020) and Glaxo Smith Kline’s Xevudy (sotrovimab)?

OR

2. Explain how one or more of the currently available COVID19 vaccines work to reduce the incidence and/or severity of COVID19 infections. Some of the questions you might consider are: Which antigenic epitopes do the current vaccines target? Based on current evidence, how long do SARS-CoV-2 antibodies persist after the primary series compared to a booster dose?  Are there differences in immune response depending on how much time elapses between vaccinations?  Are there differences in immune responses of patients with immune suppressing conditions?  Is there any evidence if cell-mediated immunity, i.e., T cells, is also affected by vaccination? How have new variants, e.g., omicron, been able to partially evade the immune response inducted by the vaccines? How do the recently authorized new bivalent boosters by Moderna and Pfizer work to specifically target current omicron strains more effectively? 

OR

3. Healthcare workers will likely be taking care of patients with post acute COVID 19 infection AKA “long COVID” for possibly many years to come. What do we know about the incidence, manifestations, and pathophysiology of post acute coronavirus infection?  What mechanisms are thought to be responsible for the development of long COVID syndrome? Which risk factors increase a patient’s risk for long COVID? Which organ systems may be affected?  What treatment options are being developed for these conditions?

Since the research on COVID19 is always being updated, bear in mind that much of the information you find may change in the next few months, as we continue to learn more about this condition. Make sure to cite high-quality sources based on peer reviewed scientific research. Here is a partial list of suggested sites for info on the vaccines:

Describe four proven data protection strategies a company can use to protect their data stored in the cloud.

Describe four proven data protection strategies a company can use to protect their data stored in the cloud. Use your textbook and quality external resources for your writing assignment. Remember to cite your sources. APA format is preferred. However, MLA or Chicago (Turabian) would be fine as well. The important part to me is that you cite your sources consistently. This assignment should be 3-5 pages in length. You can go longer if you need more space to properly cover the topic. 

Write a dialog in which each woman attempts to persuade the other to change their mind on the issue of suffrage.

write a letter exchange or spoken dialog between two women in 1920 on opposite sides of the women’s suffrage issue. Creatively explain who the women are and how they are related. Perhaps they are a mother and daughter, two friends, pen pals, or sisters. Regardless of their relationship, they are on opposite sides of this issue. Write a dialog in which each woman attempts to persuade the other to change their mind on the issue of suffrage. Write either at least 4 short letters (1 paragraph each) or 300-400 words of dialog.

Create a plan for project oversight that includes identifying the  project’s greatest challenges and mitigation recommendations.

 Assignment – Project Proposal: Execution, Control, and Closure

Overview

Note: This is the third of three  assignments that, as a whole, cover all aspects of the project life  cycle relevant to your selected project. Now, it is time for you to discuss your  project’s challenges (e.g., risks), performance management plan (e.g.,  earned value management), and proposed plan for closing the project when  it is done. 

Instructions

Write a 4–6 page paper in which you  define the execution, control, and closure aspects of your chosen  project. In your paper you must: 

  1. Create a plan for project oversight that includes identifying the  project’s greatest challenges and mitigation recommendations. The plan  should also include rationale for why the selected challenges are the  greatest challenges and why the chosen mitigation recommendations  were made.
  2. Provide specific and detailed information on how you will measure  project performance. Define how the project will be measured and include  at least three key EVM metrics that will be used to determine progress  and performance success. This should also include rationale on why those  specific metrics were chosen.  
  3. Create a plan for closing the project properly that includes  details on how that closure will be coordinated with any necessary  stakeholders.
  4. Create a performance evaluation to measure project effectiveness that includes scope, cost, time, and quality.
  5. Use at least three sources to support your writing. Choose sources  that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed  on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help  with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
