Issues Facing Athletic Academic Advising

 
For the Signature Assignment, you will research issues facing academic advising and the current strategies that are being utilized by advisors in the NCAA institutions. For this final assignment, you are to:
1.Identify an Academic Athletic Advisor at a major university who is involved with an athletic department student services program you would like to interview. Contact this individual to ask specific questions about the person’s background and professional steps he or she took to attain the current position. Have that person describe his or her day-to-day routine. (Make sure you research the advisor’s background before calling to assure an effective interview with time efficiency.)
2.What athlete advisement programs or components are in place to help students with eating disorders, behavioral disorders, and learning disabilities?
3.What additional programs are provided or conducted for student athletes, especially to maintain NCAA eligibility?
4.Evaluate the program comparing this program against the material presented in this course.

Note: If for some reason you cannot make contact with an athletic academic advisor, go to the website of an athletic department, preferably a major university. Look at their academic advising program as well as their policies and procedures concerning athletic advisement. It is recommended that you select a Division I institution as these positions are funded by the NCAA and they are very comprehensive. In place of the first component, critique the website and the ease or lack thereof with which a student athlete could find resources or personnel to assist with counseling-related concerns. Then complete components two through four.

It would be helpful if you could get an electronic or hard copy policies and procedures manual and other documents concerning the structure of the program.

Please make sure that five of the eight required resources are from refereed journals, periodicals, or books concerning advising the student athlete for areas that must be developed within this program such as learning disabilities and eating disorders.

Length: 12-15 pages not including title and reference pages.
References: Minimum of 8 scholarly resources.

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Review APA Form and Style.

Interpretative Essay on Writing and Publishing Industry

 
Item 3: Essay Relates to learning outcomes: 1,2,&3 Weight: 40% DUE: 11:59PM FRI 6 NOVEMBER, 2015 via turnitin

You will write an interpretive essay of 1500 words (plus/minus 10%). In the essay you will respond to a scenario that will be reflective of unit material.

The grading rubric is attached here. The Turnitin link for submission will be open in week 10.

Essay Scenario

Through her unique voice and significant community response to her first book publications, an early-career author attracts the attention of a commissioning editor of a major multinational publisher. So surprised is the author when she gets the unsolicited commissioning phone call she thinks someone is playing a joke on her. The editor convinces the author it is a genuine call and a genuine offer, and a standard publishing contract gets negotiated and signed. This author’s trademark writing is ribald satire, her subject matter drawing on the lives of many, including her own, is complex and layered. This contract is for her memoir.

The author achieves submission of her completed manuscript by the only date that is stipulated in the contract. Sometimes writing 2000 words a day, the author dedicates a large part of a solid six months to writing. At the point of submission she is thrilled at her manuscript achievement and is looking forward to working with the editor with whom she now shares good relationship and common publishing goal.

Author and editor work their way through a first edit, this involves structural editing input from a contract editor; all three are in different locations, the publisher in metropolitan Australia, the author in regional Australia, and the contract editor in New York. All editorial negotiations are facilitated onscreen, sometimes difficult but all resolvable.

One day the commissioning editor calls the author to tell her she will no longer be officially editing her manuscript as she has just lost her job. The publisher had not long merged with another major house and organisational restructures were continuing to change personnel and priorities. Officially no further contact is made between the author and these two editors, and a new editor is assigned to this author. The new editor disagrees with earlier edits, wants to edit out a significant number of scenes from the work, and challenges the humour in some of the memoirist recounts.

This third editorial relationship never achieves lift-off although the author considers all edit suggestions and rejects the majority of them using the Track Changes reject function in Microsoft Word. The publisher assigns a new editor, by which time the author has lost confidence in the process. The author considers the fourth editor’s suggestions, responds, and then prepares to get busier with other new professional developments in her life. The manuscript has now been edited by four different editors, the author has retreated from the frontline of the editorial relationship, and the manuscript about her life continues to sit with the merged corporate entity promoted as the ‘world’s first truly global trade publisher’.

Identify three key variables that first supported this publishing opportunity and three key variables that altered the publishing momentum. Taking into account the merger, design alternatives for how this could have been better managed and anticipate what options are now available to author and publisher.

evaluation. We are trying to help you learn to take, and then report, an
accurate and thorough psychiatric history and evaluation. You will learn
diagnostics more fully in your clinical clerkship.
Rating Scale
Outstanding: Adheres to specified format within correct organization of data; neat with no
grammar or spelling errors; accurate reflection of patient report; thorough, but concise; correct
use of medical/psychiatric terms, AND PUNCTUAL.

write-up is write-up #1.)

ANNOTATED SAMPLE OF A WRITE-UP OF A PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION
(The case is entirely fictional)
This write-up is very detailed for illustration. The level of detail is more than you can extract
from an average patient in less than an hour, but it should give you an idea of what data are
useful, as well as how to organize your own write-up. For example, it also reflects what might
be typically obtained from patients or their charts, given more time. Ideally, you would want to
know many specific details about treatment, but often the patient cannot recall them extensively,
or chart data are missing.
