the opportunity, two writers in The Blair Reader will square off for a battle to the death.

Why can’t we all just get along?

You’re going to write a 1,500 word essay striking middle ground between two Blair Reader essays that just don’t get along.

Divide your essay into roughly five parts.

1. which two essays are you getting in the middle of? What’s the issue at stake, and what’s each author’s position?
2. Tell your audience all about the first essay. What’s the Thesis? where’s the evidence?
3. Do the same thing for the second essay.
4. Now, reflecting an appreciation of both sides of the argument, play nice. Strike middle ground with a thesis statement of your own. Finally, use research from two research articles from Academic search complete to bolster your argument.
5. The MLA works Cited page.

summarize the paper:
Identify the rational of the study
Summarize the conclusions
Do you beleive the conclusions are reasonable
What important questions does the study raise

 
In a 2-page informal reflection essay, explain how you can use presentation skills and knowledge of yourself and your goals, intentions, and current actions and activities to better address your coursework and your current job or career. Why is it important to actively think about presenting yourself, your goals, and your current situation to employers, friends, and others? How do you build on where you are now to strengthen your argument for yourself?

As you reflect in preparation for writing your essay, the following are some things to ask yourself:
�How did you use situational awareness (rapport, self-confidence, and awareness) during your presentation?
�From observing others present themselves, how did that impact your thoughts about self-awareness, reflective practice, and the need to synthesize and present both your discipline knowledge as well as your own professional capabilities?
�How did you follow up with the audience during or after the presentation?
�Why is follow-up important in any presentation situation?
�What else will you do in future situations?

Part B

Social media is an important networking resource and continues to evolve as a tool for self-presentation. Based on concepts covered in this unit, identify the kinds of information that you would want to put on a social media site for presentation of your professional capabilities. Be sure to explain why you have chosen this set of information.

Knowledge
A critical appreciation of the nature of research including ethical approaches and the goals of academic reading, information searching and communication
Skills

objective is to provide quality content for a monthly newsletter called “Wild Bird”. Absolutely feel free to change the Paper Topic title.

The topic can be on ANYTHING that has to do with wild North American birds. Last two articles written were titled Magnificent Nomad” about Snowy Owls, and “Nature’s Warning” about decreasing bird population.
Submit your topic ideas and I’ll pick one. Include relevant sub-topic headings in article as these will help search engines find the article. Another words put word phrases that appear in sub topic headings also in the associated paragraph.
It’s easy to think of a topic about wild birds, What’s the smallest N. American bird, the largest, fastest, most endangered, fascinating habits, bird habitats, advice on sheltering wild birds, feeding, photographing birds, role in the eco system, what happened to Passenger Pigeon, Labrador Duck, Carolina Parakeet, Eskimo Curlew ..?
These are just suggestions, love to hear your ideas. I can use a stock photo library to illustrate your article..just concentrate on flow, accuracy, and interest.

This assignment involves considering an issue/problem/experience related to communication in your own life . It might be a recurring issue/problem or a ‘one-off’ experience. How do you think this issue/problem/experience might be addressed, illuminated or dealt with by one (or more) of the pragmatics concepts which have been considered so far in this unit?( http://www.doc88.com/p-8498776082418.html) to chapter 6. The assignment will be assessed in relation to the following criteria.
You should:
• identify and describe a relevant issue or topic in a specific context that you are familiar with;
• demonstrate an understanding of the concepts introduced in the readings and study notes that are relevant to your chosen issue;
• apply these concepts to a consideration of your chosen issue and context;
• write clearly and concisely in academic style;
• refer specifically to the relevant readings and study notes to introduce, illustrate and support your own personal reflections;
• provide a reference list citing all and only those references cited in the body of your essay;
• use APA referencing style;
• observe the word limits.
Your grade will be mostly determined by:
• how well the relevant issue is identified and described;
• how well your discussion of the issue is related to the theory.

question 1 is designed to help you demonstrate your ability to present specialization knowledge through integration and synthesis of relevant theory and conceptual principles. You are expected to demonstrate comprehension and critical thinking using the body of knowledge attained in the fundamental and specialization coursework you have taken.

Using a minimum of five peer-reviewed articles from your specialization (for instance Education Leadership, Organizational Leadership, eLearning, Curriculum and Teaching, etc.), compare and contrast at least three theories applicable to your specialization.

Using one of the theories discussed above, select five additional peer-reviewed sources and explain how the theory adds or may add to the understanding of your specialization. You should also include a discussion of any controversy or unanswered questions related to the theory.

Learning Outcomes:
1. Compose a theoretically sound and conceptually rich essay demonstrating your knowledge of fundamental subject areas in your academic discipline and specialization.

?
Question 2: Practical Application

For question 2, you are required to discuss the application of relevant theory and research to real life situations, considering social, cultural, and ethical issues as appropriate. You are expected to compose responses solving specific problems and discuss implications of your ideas for application with a broad range of issues in the field.

Referencing at least five peer-reviewed journal articles, respond to the following questions:

How can a theory guide or inform practice?

What are the issues involved in translating theory into practice?

Identify at least an additional five peer-reviewed articles (published in the last 5 years) and address how one of the theories you discussed in question 1 has actually been applied. Consider, for example:

Are the applications premised upon an accurate understanding of the theory and its scope?

Do the applications “go beyond” what the theory claims?

Is the reasoning linking application and theory sound?

Learning Outcomes:
3. Apply relevant theory and research from the specialization coursework to real life situations to solve specific problems and discusses implications.

?
Question 3: Research

For question 3, you will need to demonstrate the ability to employ research methods used within your specialization. You are expected to critique research methodologies used by scholar-practitioners and compose responses identifying best practices in educational research.

Select five empirical articles from peer-reviewed journals you consider critical to your understanding of your specialization and:

1. Describe each study, including:

� The research problem, questions, or hypotheses
� The research purpose
� The type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, data analysis, operationalization of constructs)
� Threats to validity and if and how addressed
� The findings and implications
� Note if the article makes a compelling case for the meaning and significance of the findings

2. Select one of the five articles above. Using the article, assess how you might conduct the research study differently. Address:

� The research questions
� The research purpose
� Type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, the type of data you need to collect and how you will collect it, data analysis)
� The strengths and weaknesses of your envisioned design and methods
� Quantitative: threats to validity and how your design will address them
� Quantitative: the constructs you will measure and what you will do in order to determine how to operationalize them (you do not need to identify specific measures)
� Qualitative: your means of ensuring the quality of your findings
� Justification for why your chosen design and methods are more appropriate for your research question than alternatives you have considered
� Your methods of data analysis
� How the data you collect will enable you to answer your research question and contribute to theory

Learning Outcomes
2. Critique existing research and design a methodologically sound approach to research in the academic specialization(s).
?
Question 4: Ethics

In this question, you are asked to focus on the integration of ethical principles with professional practice in your specialization. You are expected to defend a personal philosophy of ethical practice using discipline-specific core values and/or essential principles and practices in your field.

Write a paper discussing how doctoral research, from literature review to conducting research, to writing a dissertation manuscript should be done with care and integrity to meet the ethical standards of scientific research. Reference at least five peer-reviewed articles.

Explain specifically how scholars apply published ethical guidelines and concepts to research.

Be sure to address the following:
� Plagiarism
� Risk assessment
� Informed consent
� Privacy and confidentiality
� Mistakes and negligence
� Data handling and reporting
� Working with a Mentor
4. Integrate knowledge of ethical practices with principles of professional practice as it applies to specific scenarios within the academic discipline and specialization
