Human and social services professionals are both consumers and producers of research.

Surveys can be one form of research used for all areas of your practice, but they are especially useful in needs assessment. You can use surveys to determine unmet client needs or the degree to which clients are satisfied with your current services. They may also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular program offered by a school, hospital, organization, or agency.For this Application, you develop a survey instrument and describe your procedures for analyzing the data. These experiences will help you to develop a foundational knowledge of survey methodology.To Prepare

The Great Gatsby is often viewed as social commentary on the 1920s. Based on your research of the time period and analysis of the novel, write an essay in which you identify how Fitzgerald uses literary devices such as imagery, diction, symbolism, and/or archetypes to communicate a message about 1920s society. Note: Our teacher wants us to relate what happened in the book to what happened in the 1920’s such as the stock crash and the fixed world series that happened during that time period. Directions for the body paragraph from the teacher: End every paragraph with a theme statement explaining how the author uses the above quotes to connect with his ideas about his life and/or the 1920’s. Theme: money doesn’t buy happiness (Beginning = chs 1-3; Middle = chs 4-6; End = chs 7-9) Imagery (3 examples: Beginning/Mid/End) include page numbers! Diction (3 examples: Beginning/Mid/End) include page numbers! Symbolism (3 examples: Beginning/Mid/End) include page numbers! Archetype (3 examples: Beginning/Mid/End) include page numbers! Introduction paragraph I wrote: When Fitzgerald wrote his semi-autobiographical novel The Great Gatsby, he used multiple literary devices to comment on the shallow practices of both his life and the 1920s in general, both of which ended in a crash. Using imagery, diction, symbolism, and archetypes, he crafted a story which serves as a warning against living a life which focuses on the outward appearances, which serves as the main theme of the novel.
