Repurposing Abandoned Buildings to Serve Medical Missions and Advancing Indigent Healthcare Services Through Adaptive Reuse: Repurposing Abandoned Buildings as Medical Clinics for Disadvantaged Populations), a practice which has vast implications for healthcare strategy.

It also represents a very good opportunity for you to leave your “desks” and get out into the field to explore possibilities. Here’s the scenario: A dentist desires to establish a clinic in or around your given marketplace and he has reached out to you for assistance. He will serve as the sole dentist within the given clinic and he will offer the customary array of services available at most any general dentistry practice. The dentist desires operational efficiency and also takes opportunities where possible to make environmentally-responsible decisions. Having learned of adaptive reuse, he enlists you to search the local marketplace seeking abandoned and available commercial buildings which might be able to be converted into a dental practice through adaptive reuse. Your mission is to identify three potential adaptive reuse candidates in your area, identifying their physical address, describing them in detail, and ranking their potential to be converted successfully. The candidates must be actual commercial properties which currently are for sale, so best to consult commercial real estate websites and conduct good old-fashioned, boots-on-the-ground investigations to identify prospects. Feel free to supply links in your text to real estate listings, if available, or other resources to identify your selected candidates. Note that in the real world, a project such as this would represent quite the undertaking, requiring possession of an extensive array of information (e.g., spatial needs, financial resources available, location preferences, etc.). Such rich detail (and the time needed to make use of it) isn’t available due to obvious course parameters, but you certainly have sufficient time to perform a cursory examination within your local marketplace for purposes of identifying a few potential candidates. That’s exactly what you must do and, through this, you’ll have a better understanding of adaptive reuse. The Submission Requirement Your submission in its entirety must be between 1500-1800 words. It is to be typed (or pasted) directly into the Moodle posting window, after which you will submit your work. Attachments of any kind are prohibited and will carry no points value. Given the length of the submission, it is advised that students prepare it in a word processing program, and when finalized, copy and paste the text into the Moodle posting window. Moodle can be very finicky and often will distort formatting, so care must be taken in preparing your submission. If problems persist, consider using Windows Notepad, as it is very effective for transferring distortion-free text into the Moodle posting window, after which you can add formatting directly in Moodle. Your submission must be supported by 4 (minimum) to 10 (maximum) references, with at least 3 being from scholarly academic journals. (If you cannot ascertain whether a journal does or does not qualify as scholarly academic, contact the Noel Library and request assistance.) References may be prepared using the style guide of your choice (e.g., APA, MLA); just be sure to consistently use the selected style. In presenting your work, identify the title, your name and student ID number, and submission date at the top of your submission and supply the following sections, exactly as they appear below, placing each heading in bold text: Introduction Adaptive Reuse Candidates Candidate 1 Candidate 2 Candidate 3 Conclusions (one paragraph; summarize your candidate rankings here) References Assessment Criteria Your submission will be assessed based on the following: Compliance quality: The degree to which your submission complies with noted guidelines, including word count and reference specifications, Communication quality: The degree to which your work meets standards expected in business communications, including matters concerning the use of proper grammar and punctuation, and Content quality: The quality of the content presented in your work.

How could an increased awareness of information processing, your learning style, and your attention and self-regulation strategies potentially affect your performance in your academic journey?

Prior to engaging in this discussion, please read Chapter 8: Owning Our Learning Experiences in your e-book and review the Instructor Guidance. Metacognition is the ability to be aware of and regulate ones thought processes. It is suggested to be a process that improves our ability to effectively process information. Consider the benefits of being more aware of your own learning needs and how it might affect both your personal and professional goals. Discuss the following: Your career development/professional life? Based on your career goals, how can a better understanding of how we learn be applied? (e.g. in your organization? your community? your volunteer efforts?) Did you learn anything important about yourself through the process of learning about learning? What did you learn about your peers in the class through the process of learning about learning? How will you apply what you have learned about yourself in your future learning activities (whether you are the learner or the instructor in these activities)? Do you agree or disagree that by applying the elements of metacognition into your studies, you will improve your ability to learn more effectively?

Review your results. Do you agree with the assessment? How can what you have learned about yourself help support your learning performance? List at least two behaviors you could change or traits you could develop in your own behaviors, and explain how they support your assessment results.

Prior to engaging in this discussion please read Chapter 7: Evolving Frameworks, in your e-book, watch the Theory of Multiple Intelligences (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. video, read the article Multiple Intelligences (2011), and review the Instructor Guidance. Traditionally, someone who is intelligent is defined as an individual who can solve problems, use logic to answer questions, and think critically. However, psychologist Howard Gardner has created a much broader definition of intelligence called multiple intelligences, which is more focused on our areas of learning preferences. For this discussion, please complete the following: Demonstrate an understanding of intelligence (IQ) and multiple intelligences (MIs) by comparing and contrasting the differing variables associated with each. Thinking critically about these foundational differences, comment on how Gardners ideas about learning preferences might change the way we assess a persons strengths and weaknesses. Click the following link and take the MI assessment (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

What does logical positivism suggest to us about constructivist-based theories? Do you agree or disagree?

Prior to engaging in this discussion, please read chapters five and six in your e-book and review the Instructor Guidance. If your last name begins with A-M you will discuss the theory of constructivism and its relationship to learning. If your last name begins with N-Z, you will discuss humanism and its relationship to learning psychology. Constructivists suggest that a persons reality is unique from others and thus, effects what, how, and how effective knowledge is acquired. This is suggested to be affected by numerous variables such as culture, past experiences, and past knowledge. Humanism posits a purposefully person-centered approach to learning, that includes personal growth, focus on self-development, and personal needs. Consider the following as you discuss: A-M: How do exogenous constructivism, endogenous constructivism, and dialectical constructivism differ and why does it matter? How does situated cognition (discussed in Week 3) support the suggestions made by constructivism? Discuss a personal experience where you feel constructivism ideologies explained either the effectiveness of, or the non-effectiveness of, the learning experience. Would you consider this learning experience exploratory learning, inquiry learning, or problem-based learning? Why? What implications in learning effectiveness might exist if construction of individualized knowledge is negated?

Research Essay on American Dream based on one of four books

This semester we have been thinking about the difficulties of achieving the American Dream, the different components of American work culture, and the pursuit of happiness. For your research essay, you will write a paper, performing a cultural or historical analysis, based on one of these ideas. You should select either (or two works) from “The Truman Show” movie, “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” book, “The Glass Castle”, or “Office Space” movie. You should consider how these works are situated historically and/or socially, and how that historical or social moment informs the argument of the work(s) you are analyzing. Part of the challenge of this assignment is that you have to figure out a focus for your argument and really refine the idea. You will have to do some research before you finalize your thesis. Your essay will be 7-9 FULL pages long (the Works Cited page does not count toward this total). In addition to the 1-2 works from class that you choose to write about, you will use at least 4 (and no more than 5) outside sources. Remember, you dont want to just use the sources to express an idea more eloquently than you can. Use them to argue with, build upon, or establish a foundation for your own ideas. As we talked about, you should be joining a scholarly discussion! Make sure that your paragraphs are structured around a topic sentence.
