Define
formative and summative assessments, in your own words. Expand on Webb
and Metha’s (2017) information and discuss when and how formative and
summative assessments were used when you were a student (elementary,
middle, and/or high school). Elaborate how you might use both types of
assessment in your future classroom (e.g., what kinds will you use that
are familiar; what kind of variety will you try to incorporate, etc.)
and why you might use them (think back to your educational philosophy).
What questions do you have about formative and summative assessments?
Use your readings, personal experiences, and what you’ve learned from
class discussions to inform your writing. Length: >450 words

Your best friend has asked your help in securing a job where you
work. You want to help your friend, but you know her social media sites
have photos and other material that violate your company’s social media
policy. You also know that the human resources department of your
company always does a thorough search of social media sites of
prospective hires. You need to write an email to your friend that
explains which content needs to be deleted from her social media
accounts and why. You need to discuss how refusal to delete the
inappropriate photos and material might impact her ability to get the
job. Your memo should clearly and specifically state the relevant rules
from your company’s social media policy.

Create a one to two (1-2) paragraph memo in which you:

1. Review your friend’s inappropriate social media content here.
2. Review your company’s social media policy here.
3. Create a one to two (1-2) paragraph email.
4. Target the appropriate professional audience.
5. Use appropriate language for professional audience.
6. Use correct email formatting.
7. Follow appropriate etiquette rules for electronic communication.
8. Meet the 250-to-500-word minimum requirement.
9. Use correct sentence mechanics, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style.

Your assignment must follow these APA and other formatting requirements:

• Be typed, single-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with
  1-inch margins on all sides. Check with your professor for any
  additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
  student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.
  The cover page is not included in the required length.
• Include a “To” “From” and “Subject Line” to represent an email format.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Demonstrate understanding of the basic fundamentals of communication.
• Develop and practice communication skills, including skills in
  verbal, nonverbal, listening, writing, interpersonal, perception, and
  critical thinking as appropriate for the audience.
• Relate to the interpersonal and organizational dynamics that affect communication in organizations.
• Analyze and assess effective communication.
• Use correct sentence mechanics, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in communications.
• Write clearly and concisely about communications using proper writing mechanics.

You need to prepare a submit a 150 word response to the readings. The process of reflection encourages deeper and longer lasting learning. Reading responses are an opportunity to process what you have read more thoroughly and relate it to your own experiences and ideas. They are, simply, your written thoughts about an academic text. Reflection entails not simply describing the theories, concepts or cases that are presented in the texts (i.e. not summarising the readings), but exploring your reaction to these ideas. Things to keep in mind:

– Reading responses are the opportunity to consider issues or ideas that are important to you, reacting to the text by agreeing or disagreeing, explaining why, and considering alternatives;

– Each reading response is only 150 words.

– I will add five reading attachments below, each reading response is only 150 words. I hope to get high quality homework results and get high scores. Thank you

Western C Unit 1

Question 1

In the emergence of modern Homo sapiens as a species, which
advantages best equipped them to survive the challenges of early humanity?

Your response should be at least 75 words in length.

Question 2

Identify the most important technological advance prior to
3000 BC. Support your conclusion by comparing this impact to the impact of at
least one other innovation on the culture that created it.

Your response should be at least 300 words in length.

Question 3

What were the consequences of the Code of Hammurabi for
ancient society, and how does this system of justice compare to modern American
laws? To explain your point, draw on information about how the Code of
Hammurabi emerged, the overall theme, and what you see as some of the more
striking statutes listed.

Your response should be at least 300 words in length.

Now study this diagram showing how the body responds to stressful stimuli. Notice that short-term stress follows one signaling pathway that begins in the brain, travels out the spinal cord, and directly to the adrenal glands. Many organs of the body will receive direct stress response messages using this pathway as well. When the adrenal glands receive the signal from this pathway, they release a stress hormone that signals many systems in the body to prepare to either run away from the stressor (such as a predator or an oncoming vehicle, for example), or fight. The part of the nervous system that activates this response to acute stress is called the sympathetic nervous system. After the stressful stimulus has passed, the parasympathetic (nicknamed the “rest and digest” response) calms the nervous system and restores the normal function of the body systems, maintaining homeostasis.

The Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic Nervous Systems

These two divisions of the nervous system counteract each other to allow the body to receive the resources it needs to respond to a life-threatening situation (more glucose to the brain to enhance thinking ability, more oxygen and sugars to the muscles to run, etc.), and then return to a relaxed state. As you saw in the diagram, the sympathetic response begins when a stressful situation is detected by your sensory nerves, which make up the peripheral nervous system, or PNS. The sensory nerve endings can deliver this message directly to the brain through cranial nerves, which gather the information we need to give us the senses of smell, sight, hearing, and taste. Stress stimuli can also be detected by peripheral nerve endings throughout the body and delivered to the brain via the spinal cord. The brain and the spinal cord make up the central nervous system, or CNS.

View this diagram to review the anatomy of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

Notice that the “rest and digest” (parasympathetic) message is delivered through cranial nerves that originate in the brain stem, and sacral nerves that originate in the sacrum at the end of the spinal cord. The “fight or flight” (sympathetic) response originates from the spinal cord. These nerve impulses are delivered by the CNS to the effector organs responsible for reacting to the situation by either simulating the organ to take action, or calming (inhibiting) the organ to return homeostasis. In this situation, the nervous system sends a signal to the endocrine system to handle acute, or short-term stress.

When the body is faced with long-term, or chronic stress, the endocrine system predominantly responds by releasing hormones such as cortisol. You will learn more about cortisol in the next module.

Read Understanding the Stress Response in Harvard Health Publications, published by the Harvard Medical School.

From your reading address the following:

1. Define acute and chronic stress. Provide examples.
2. What region of the brain detects stress and interprets the stimulus as dangerous? What is its function, and where does it relay the signal that conveys the danger? What format is the signal in? What is the role of the region of the brain that receives the stress alert?
3. What is a hormone? What hormones are involved in the stress response? When are hormones released in the stress response?
4. What is the HPA and what role does it play in the stress response?
5. What recommendations are given to counter stress?
