Assessment of the learning needs of the population?
This website (http://help4teachers.com/hottopics.htm) gives a list of possible topics.
-Explain your issue in a manner that demonstrates understanding of the key components. In doing this, you should explore the opposing view.
-Articulate your view on the issue
-Provide a justification of your view through appropriate evidence (theory and opinion)
-It is expected that you reference these sources both in the text and in a Reference section.
-Roughly 5-7 pages, though the length will be contingent on the scope of your chosen topic.
Potential Topics:
1. Some have suggested schools concern for childrens moral development and their self-esteem is misplaced, and the business of the school is to teach knowledge and cognitive skills. What is your position regarding this issue? Explain.2. There has been a long-time and on-going debate about the relative value of teaching students content (e.g., concepts) versus processes (e.g., self-regulation, critical thinking, problem solving, meta cognitive skills, etc). Which should schools emphasize more? Why? What do you think will be most important for your particular developmental group and content area?
Example Assessments You may use the assessment examples, linked in the Assessment Examples section of the Resources, to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like.Suppose you are working as an intern for a mental health care organization. Your supervisor has asked you to find peer-reviewed journal articles that she can use in a presentation she needs to develop on a controversial topic in psychology. She has provided you with a list of controversial topics and said that you can choose any topic you wish. As part of your training, and to verify that you have found appropriate articles, your supervisor asks you to write an annotated bibliography for her so she can more readily select the best articles for her presentation. Your topic choices are: Cosmetic surgery and self-esteem. (Does it harm or enhance self-esteem?) Use of electronic technology and well-being. (Think about Internet addiction or social media and bullying versus the benefits of technology for learning and self-improvement.) Development and use of cognitive-enhancing drugs. (Cognitive enhancing drugs were initially developed to help treat Alzheimer’s, but have been found to help healthy individuals with cognitive functioning. Should they be used this way? Is it ethical to use them this way?) Medication versus behavioral interventions to treat ADHD. In the Capella library, locate five or more very recent research articles on the topic you have selected to use in your annotated bibliography. Your articles should represent a balanced picture of the topic. You may follow the format of the Sample Bibliography located in the Suggested Resources section, or look in the Writing Center (Writing Resources located in the left navigation of the courseroom) to review the different types of annotated bibliographies and choose a different format to follow. Requirements For each of the five very recent articles you have selected, complete the following: Provide the APA citation for the article. Explain the main points of the article. Explain how the article could be used in a presentation. How does the article relate to your topic in either supporting or refuting a method? Does the research in the article support one method of treatment over the other? What assumptions and/or biases are made by the author(s)? Additional Requirements Include a title page and reference page. Number of pages: 24, not including the title page or reference page. At least 5 current scholarly or professional resources. APA format for citations and references. Times New Roman font, 12 pt. Double-spaced.

To what extent are they monotheistic, monist or henotheistic? How do they envisage the source of morality? How open are they to cultures outside themselves (i.e. are they local or universal)? When were they written? To whom are they addressed? what axial age features can you detect in before/after texts? (remember: mythos/logos; being/non-being etc… ——————- (3) ESSAY STRUCTURE The essay has 5 parts: Introduction, Body, Conclusion.

Your report can focus on the industry at large or a specific sector or issue within the industry.
Source: Asian Social Science 6.6 (2010): p3.) Your task is simple: research and design a concrete response (a solution) to a real world environmental sustainability problem in Canada. We encourage creativity but note that your solution must seem feasible and reasonable, and be explained in a detailed fashion.Your assignment is to produce a 10-12 written page (double-spaced, 12 pt font references and mind map not included in page count) essay that includes five key components:1. Your personal definition of environmental sustainability, with a brief explanation of why you believe this definition is useful and how it is related to your chosen problem;2. Defining the problem: Identification of a significant environmental sustainability problem in Canada that you would like to solve. Once you have chosen an environmental problem to work on, the real work begins. You are to research your chosen problem with the goal of : i) providing a context for understanding the problem, ii) identifying key causes of the problem, and iii) drawing out the barriers or hurdles that might be hindering our ability to come up with solutions. In so doing you should provide:A clear statement of the problem.
A brief descriptive/contextual overview of the problem that identifies key causes of this problem.
A brief analysis of significant challenges or hurdles to finding solutions to this problem. Are these causes or hurdles technical, political, cultural, social or perhaps psychological?
3. Mind Map: Based on this research and analysis, create a mind map of your problem (remember this is not a map of solutions but rather of elements that can help frame the problem). This mind map should include elements such as key biophysical, social, economic, political, psychological or cultural factors as well as key stakeholders. Once you create a visual representation of your mind map, briefly summarize the nature of the relationship between the different elements in your mind map. Here is an article from LifeHacker that describes Mind Mapping: How to Use Mind Maps to Unleash Your Brains Creativity and Potential (or you can find it on the web). There are many different ways to produce your mind map, some include*:Pencil and paper are a great resource! Take a picture!
FreeMind
Edraw
Xmind (the free version is nice, but it has limited export formats compared to others)
While the above are made for mental maps and have special features, feel free to explore PowerPoint, OneNote, Open Office, GIMP, or other software that has graphic editing capacity and can create dynamic mental map.
*Note: please be careful, some software will not allow you to export your mind map check in advance)4. Proposed Solution: Explanation of how you would innovate to solve this environmental sustainability problem, which includes:Clear statement of the solution, which can take one or more of five forms:
A product e.g. high efficiency stove; phone app; or redesigned car.
A service e.g. a commercial composting pick-up service for restaurants.
An event e.g. a Clean Up the Streets block party; or a large musical showcase that features no reliance on fossil fuels; or
A campaign e.g. a sewers and salmon campaign that dissuades people from disposing of household wastes down storm sewers.
A policy e.g. a realistic and focused change to existing local, provincial, or federal policies or laws
Explanation of how the solution corresponds with your definition of environmental sustainability.
Detailed explanation of the solution: what would it look like in practice?
Evidence the solution is socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable.
Your essay does not have to include a budget (although you may include one if you choose), but it must demonstrate that you have thought about economic sustainability (in other words, how will the implementation of your solution be paid for?)
Further, your essay must address social sustainability, including desirability: why would people want to use and pay for your solution?
5. Evidence of Research: You must include a bibliography (not included in the page limit noted above) that includes at least 10 items (i.e. journal articles, policy reports, archival documents), no more than 20% of which may be newspaper/magazine articles.
For your first major assignment, you’ll select a select a website for a product, service, or organization connected to your field or projected profession and write a thesis-driven evaluative argument in which you examine the rhetorical strategies of the site. For example, if you’re a pre-pharmacy major, you might select a website from a drug company, a national pharmacy chain, or even the website for the National Pharmacists Association. Each of these websites is making an argument: “(You should) buy this” or “(You should) shop here” or “(You should) join us. The purpose of this essay is to evaluate how effectively your site persuades viewers or potential customers to “do this” or “do that” by analyzing and evaluating the rhetorical elements in the site.
Use the strategies for evaluation outlined in RRW, Ch. 8, to guide your essay. You can also draw on Seyler’s discussion of rhetorical strategies in Ch. 3 and guidelines for reading photographs and advertisements in Ch.5
A successful essay will:
2. Develop your main points around specific criteria for evaluating the site. Consider HOW the site makes its argument, not whether or not you agree with the content. Analysis and evaluation rely on your objective judgments. Remember also that rhetoric encompasses any tools available for persuasion. For example, would it be useful to talk about the argument in terms of ethos, logos, pathos? Might you focus on design, ease-of-use images? On audience or purpose? y
3. Support your main points with concrete examples (evidence) from the website. To develop and support your own points, you will need to include visual features and details such as color, design, and images, as well as short quotations from any verbal elements of the site. You will also include 2+ images from your site to illustrate and support your argument. Think of your own ethos and logos as you develop your argument and design your final document. Note: 1000 words, 12-point size, double-spaced, pages stapled. Times New Roman.
