You are hired to teach a struggling student more effective study skills. Drawing from research findings regarding effective study strategies, identify five strategies that you think would be beneficial for the student to develop. Then, in five short paragraphs, describe the approaches that you might use to help the student acquire each of the strategies you’ve identified. Refer to Chapter 12 in your Ormrod text to help you in crafting your response.

Choose your own invention

A bunch of lawmakers, scientists, academics, and people impacted by a medical condition of your choosing need your help. You’ll create a presentation (PowerPoint, poster, etc.) to help solve a problem for a specific group of your choosing that will convince them your solution can help.

Presentation Requirements summary:

• Choose a medical intervention (device, treatment, service, etc.)
• Show what’s already been done to innovate/address the problem
• Innovate a new solution by applying the design thinking process
• Present your process & prototype to the class in a 7-10 minute presentation
  • Answer the questions below in slides, a poster/description paper to hand out in class, or in your spoken presentation.
• You’ll be graded on:
  • Creativity of the presentation – you’ll do particularly well if you use visuals, models, multi-media, class involvement, etc.
  • Depth of content
  • Quality of demonstrated analysis of the problem & customer
  • Ability to communicate your application of the design thinking process
  • Creative confidence

PRESENTATION SPECIFICS:

Set the context for your audience by talking about the history of the problem/intervention:

1. Show an evolution of innovations that have been made to the medical intervention. What problem was each innovation trying to solve? Be sure to include the following information:
   • When did the condition begin to be addressed with medical interventions?
   • What is the treatment used for? Include key features including how it helps to diagnose, treat or manage disease/condition.
   • What innovations have been made over time in its design or function?
   • Write out pros and cons of the invention.
   • Include a list of CREDIBLE sources (in the last slide of your presentation).

Innovate – Sketch, model or build a prototype of your new invention using craft supplies.

• Indicate: is your prototype functional or aesthetic? Why did you choose that type of prototype?
• If you sketch the prototype, how would you create a high-fidelity prototype? What materials, processes, etc. would you need?

Tell us the whole story – It may be easiest to present some of this information on poster board. Draw explanatory boxes or bubbles around your sketch, or if you build a model or prototype, create a one-page document.

• Develop a profile of your target customer. Provide the context of the problem you’re solving in a problem statement format like the ones we used in class in September.
• Draw a customer journey map that shows how your innovation fits into the life of your target customer.
  • What is the problem your invention is addressing? How does your invention help? What are the moments that matter most to your customer?
• How is your device better than the existing product?
• List at least 10 ideas you came up with to solve this problem. What process did you use to help you pick the idea you chose to prototype?
• List at least THREE problems you came across with your innovations and how you solved or might solve them.
• What are some additional comparisons you can make between your invention and what is already on the market?
• How does this activity demonstrate how the innovation process works? What would the impact be if you skipped a step?
• How does your invention interact with or affect the environment? How about with a person’s physical well-being? If a product may be helpful but may harm other parts of the body or the ecosystem, you may have to think about whether or not the product is actually innovative.
  • Finally, what are the potential economic implications of your innovation? For example, think of the invention of the car or the computer and the innovations since then. How might your innovation impact jobs?

POST 1:

By
participating in the religious rituals of their society, people express a sense
of togetherness, unity, and belonging. This group aspect of religious practice
fosters deeper loyalty to one’s society. To be sure, all reli­gions include
rituals that individuals may perform for their own benefit: private prayer to
petition the spirits and gods for aid; magic to achieve the same ends more
coercively; taboos that are followed to avoid misfortune; and positive acts
that foster luck, skill, and safety (Crapo, 2013).

I consider myself a fairly religious
person. To answer the question of whether or not Native Americans should be
able to perform their ceremonies while incarcerated or in prison, I don’t
believe there is a direct yes or no that can be associated with that question.
There are several underlying factors that must be justified prior to granting
some of these privileges. First and foremost, the safety of prisoners in
addition to that of the guards must be thoroughly considered. For example, “Prison officials are
concerned that sweat lodges and medicine pouches, normally off-limits to
non-Indians, could be used to conceal contraband weapons or drugs. They fear
that long hair might help inmates escape by making it easy for them to change
the way they look, (Dellios, 1993).” I am all for human rights as discussed
during week 1 of the course as I have a sister that is currently imprisoned. On
the same token, I believe that committing crimes and being incarcerated there
are certain liberties that are forfeited, because safety and funding have to be
considered. I do however believe that the same liberties should be granted for
all religions on an even and just playing field. If you do for one, you must do
for the other.

POST 2:

Currently I am a part of the Episode Community. To summarize what the
episode community is, we are writers on this very popular app called Episode
Choose Your Story. The community gives writers an opportunity to get to know
each other, ask for help, share ideas, and socialize. I have been a part of
this community for about four years now and I really enjoy being a part of it.

The social control mechanisms that are applied in our group are
socialization, rewards, and gossip and social pressure.

Socialization

When socializing in the episode community I’ve realized that we all have our
own set of morals and principles “Moral values are the attitudes or rules that
govern our relationships with our fellow human beings” (Crapo, 2013).

Rewards

In the episode community we all like to stay positive and give credit when
credit is due “The praise and esteem of other members of the community is one
such reward” (Crapo, 2013).

Gossip and Social Pressure

Although most of the time in the episode community we are positive, things
can take a huge turn and sometimes we can get a little negative. In the episode
community, sometimes we tend to gossip and gossiping leads to arguments within
our community. Which makes more and more people in the community dislike each
other “Most people value the esteem of others, so gossip and community pressure
can be a powerful force in keeping people in line. The key to the effectiveness
of gossip is that word eventually gets back to the person being criticized”
(Crapo, 2013)

SHORT RESPONSES ONLY!

1. When making a decision it is human nature to make assumptions. Understanding the assumptions along with the consequences should those assumptions be incorrect is important. A best practice when making a decision is to make a list of any assumptions that exist. Discuss a decision you have made in the past in your professional life that was based on assumptions that proved to be incorrect. What were the consequences and how did you handle the resulting situation?
2. There are many different decision making models available such as: the rational model; the seven step model; and the Carnegie model to name a few. What are the pros and cons of managers using decision making models?
3. What factors should be taken into consideration when collecting data for a strategic decision?
