Part 5
1. Discuss the pros and cons of being single. Consider whether there is an optimal length of time or age to be single and discuss the social and personal consequences of remaining single for a lifetime. For example, people who remain single throughout their life may be considered as “having something wrong with them” by others around them. They may be considered “selfish” or unable to find a partner.
2. Discuss the reality of prejudice and discrimination for gay and lesbian youth in America. Here I am not asking you to tale a political or religious position – or to discuss one. This is about the reality of prejudice and/or discrimination. You may choose as part of your answer an academic argument that prejudice and/or discrimination is overstated by the media or other social institutions. You may not, however, say someone is right or wrong if they take any particular position that may differ from yours. Here is an example to consider in your answer – it has been reported that 75% of youth heard homophobic remarks in their school frequently or often, and less than 20% of the youth reported that a faculty or staff member intervened most of the time when present when such remarks were said. Nearly 60% of youth reported feeling not safe in their schools because of sexual orientation. For a full copy of these findings, see the 2013 National School Climate Survey: The experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth in our nation’s schools (http://www.glsen.org/nscs (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.).
3. Discuss changes in family size, childless families, and large families. Address the fact that families used to be much larger and it was a social expectation that married couples would have children. You may post your family size plans, and discuss pronatalist views in society.
Part 6
In this unit, we have read pieces of literature that show us the comparisons of youth and maturity, experience and innocence, and parenting versus being a child that have led to the characters’ experiencing a rite-of-passage or coming-of-age. Write an essay discussing how the coming-of-age or rite-of-passage has affected these characters. Include what part evil, disobedience, and/or lack of respect play in this development. Also, include whether or not the conclusion is positive or negative.
Using these questions, compose a five paragraph essay analyzing the literature. The essay should have an introduction with thesis. The intro should generally discuss what coming of age or rite of passage means IN YOUR OWN WORDS. You may want to discuss what it means to “grow up” and how that experience can change depending on parents or parental role models. You may want to include that age doesn’t matter; one is never too old or too young to gain maturity. The last sentence of the intro should be the thesis. Use the Sample Sentences page in the Intro to Comp II module to help you create a good thesis.
The body paragraphs should analyze the literature itself. Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence (see the Writing about Literature page in the Intro to Comp II module). No paragraph should be less than 5 sentences. I strongly suggest you go back and read the Intro to Comp II module to see the Writing about Literature page and how to use MLA guidelines. Also, you may want to review pages 452-471 in the textbook for help. Be sure to include direct quotes within the essay that support your opinions. You MUST INCLUDE a direct quote from the short story or poem being discussed in EACH paragraph. In the paragraph about “Where,”you will have a direct quote from the short story AND a direct quote from the secondary source. Therefore, this paragraph will have at least 6 sentences instead of 5. You are using ONLY the literature from this unit and the required secondary source. Please review the Documenting page and the MLA Quick Reference page in the Intro to Comp II module.
Part 7 75-150 words
Failure Happens. Where Do You Go Next?
We don’t always succeed at everything we try, but failure is not necessarily a bad thing. What is really important regarding failure is what we do AFTER we fail.
Sometimes we learn something about ourselves, make changes, try again and succeed… the point is that a failure can be a true learning experience and/or a growth experience.
In this post, you will:
Share a personal experience of a failure which became a lesson or growth experience.
Describe the situation.
Share your feelings at the time of the failure and your feelings at some point after the failure.
Describe how you found the courage/strength/grit to move forward, try again…
Explain what the experience taught you and how you will continue to apply what you learned.
Part 8
Continuing to Work on the Final Project
Express some of the challenges you may be experiencing while trying to complete this assignment, and how you plan to overcome them.
What are some of the benefits you see in completing this project?
Part 9
Where Does the Time Go?
It’s pretty common to hear people say, “I don’t know how I am going to get this all done.” We may think we manage our time well and know how to multitask, but there are always tips and tricks that help us make the most of our time.
For example, every day after school, one mother usually waited for her son 10-15 minutes in the parking lot of the elementary school. She realized that sitting there was simply a waste of her time. She then chose to log in to her online class with her cell phone and read her textbook during this time. At the end of the week, she realized that the time in the car was 50-75 minutes of reading time!
Likewise, a father carried 10 flashcards each day in his pocket. He took 5 minutes on each of his breaks at work to review the cards. He found that he retained so much more information by taking 5 minutes here and there to review concepts. Tips like this help students balance school, work, family, and other life demands.
In this post, you will:
Explain time management in your own words.
Explain how a person truly knows if he or she manages time well. What evidence supports the idea that someone manages time well?
Provide at least two time-saving tips that you use/ have used at school, at work, or in life, and explain how they have helped you.
Explain how “I need” statements can help with time management.
Part 10
In this scenario, you are part of an online class business class which is studying diversity in the workplace and diversity training. The prompt asked about the purpose of diversity initiatives/trainings, and how they can benefit business. A student posted what he experienced at his workplace diversity training not too long ago. A second student replied to his post, but with a very different “take” on the topic.
Here is a copy of the second post:
You got lucky. My job makes us attend these stupid trainings for diversity every year, and they are a complete waste of time. I mean, I am not going to be mean to lazy people who don’t do their work because they come from cultures where people don’t work hard. I know it’s not their fault that they were raised that way, and I guess they do ok for who they are and all, but that doesn’t mean I have to like picking up their slack. But that’s the world today, we have to accept everyone and everything.
Your job is to respond to thesecond post and maintain professionalism while you do. Your response should defuse the situation (rather than make it worse).
Part 11
One aspect of the final project is to anticipate any upcoming events that might delay your progress toward graduation (i.e. a pregnancy, military deployment, planned move, etc.)Discuss how you plan to work around these speed bumps so you can get back on track quickly.
If you cannot think of any planned speed bumps, then discuss the impact of unanticipated circumstances (earning grades of “F” or withdrawing from courses)How will these impact your progress toward graduation, and what can you do to mitigate those circumstances?
Part 12
A Glimpse Into the Future
It is now five-ten years in the future, and you are a Grantham alumnus. Congratulations! You are working in the field you have chosen.
In this post, you will:
Introduce yourself to the class as the person you are in the future.

Your assignment is to:
Summarize the Duckworth “Grit” video
Summarize the Dweck “Growth” video
Write a comparison in your own words of how these concepts relate to each other.
Please write a paragraph for each bullet above and use complete sentences. The total length of this assignment is 750 words (double-spaced, using 12 pt. Times New Roman).
Part 15
Victim / Creator
Your assignment this week is to help new employees become successful in their new jobs. You want to tell them how to harness the power of grit, growth, and the creator mindset.
To provide this orientation for new hires, please create a PowerPoint presentation. Use the template to prepare your assignment. Follow the examples for aesthetics (typography, screen design, media, white space, and color pattern) while also including notes for each slide.
Review the Multimedia Screen Design PowerPoint presentation to get some great advice on how to use color, fonts, and page design to create an easy to read, pleasing to view presentation.
These new employees have not heard about these concepts before, so be sure to:
1.Describe each term (grit, growth mindset, victim mindset, creator mindset and others that you may choose to include)
2.Give examples of each concept
3.Suggest ways in which the employee can demonstrate the concepts that will help them be successful

Your paper should start with a statement or a claim about what it takes to be a successful student in an online college.(This is called your argument – refer to Pocket Keys for Writers chapter 3a).
Throughout the rest of the paper, you will support your argument by providing descriptions, explanations or examples of the mindsets, skillsets, and tips for success that you believe to be relevant.
The paper should be 750 words, (using a font such as 12 pt. Times New Roman).
Part 17
Your assignment this week is to have an “I need” conversation with someone close to you (friend or family member).There are two parts to this assignment. First, you need to prepare for your discussion by creating a “conversation plan.” Then, you need to reflect on how the conversation unfolded. You will submit your outline of the conversation plan (part one) on the same page as your reflection (part two).
PART ONE: Here is the outline for your conversation plan.
1.Create a vision of the ideal state (“I want to earn this college degree”)
2.Explain your reasons for setting that goal, be sure to point out what’s in it for your friend/family member (“With a degree, I can earn more money for our family”)
3.Explain what it will take in order for you to achieve that goal (“I need two to three hours of quiet time each night in order to study”)
4.Explain how the other person can help you (“If you can bathe the kids and put them to bed, I will be able to study”)
5.Anticipate any resistance (“I know you are tired by the end of the day, and so it may be a challenge to do that by yourself”)
6.Offer a solution or a compromise (“I can help on the weekends, but I have deadlines on Sundays and Tuesdays”)
7.Remind your friend/family member of the positive outcome (“If we can work this out, then I can graduate in three years and we then will be able to afford that new car we want to buy”)
PART TWO: After you have the “I need” conversation, reflect upon how it went.Then, write a reflection paper that includes the following information
1.Recap your “I need…” conversation. With whom did you have the conversation? Did you cover your main points?Why or why not?
2.Reflect on your emotions. How were you feeling during the conversation?
3.Analyze your friend/family member’s reaction. How did the person respond to your conversation?
4.Anticipated results: Do you believe you will get what you need?Why or why not?
5.If you were to have the “I need” conversation with a second person, would you change anything given your experience with the first conversation?Why or why not?
Part 18
General Education
For this assignment, you will create a tri-fold brochure that explains to your classmates why college students need to complete General Education Courses.
First, go to the Grantham University Catalog and select three general education courses that you feel are significant to a college student’s education.
Then create a tri-fold brochure in which you explain why it is essential that a college student complete each one of these courses.Be creative; use pictures associated with attending college.Your brochure should be a professional document; grammar, spelling, and punctuation are important.
Use the brochure template to develop your tri-fold brochure.NOTE: While this layout does not seem to make sense if you view it as a flat Word document, recall that the final product would be folded.
Here are the guidelines for presenting your information. The pages of the linked template have been labeled to help you organize your brochure.

Part 19
You are going to develop an Academic Plan showing the courses you will complete to fulfill your degree program.You can print this out and put it on your refrigerator to track your success as you go through college!
Here are the elements of an Academic Plan:
1.The first column lists the terms you need to complete the degree (usually 10 terms for an Associate’s degree; 20 terms for the Bachelor’s degree; these may vary with each student).
2.The second column lists the month/year of the term – noting if you need to take time off for other commitments (use the * and footnotes to explain)
3.The third column lists the first course you plan to take.
4.The fourth column lists the second course you plan to take.It is suggested, but not required, that you take two courses per term; check with your Financial Aid plan to see if there are requirements on how many courses you can take per term.
The Academic Plan is simply a table that you can create in a Word document.Here is a truncated example:

Module 01 Assignment
/in Uncategorized /by JosephQuestion description
Please take a moment to review the Project introduction. Understanding the entire project formation as a whole will allow you the ability to understand what each portion of the project is asking on a much larger scale. Each of these small project parts are going to inevitably be placed together to complete one cohesive project.
PROJECT INTRODUCTION: Human Resources (HR) is a gift and a curse. Some employees run around doing all they can to hide their actions from HR, while others allow HR to make their lives easier and more fruitful. The Human Resources Department was created to serve the needs of the business, which often times include, employee satisfaction. In fact, the more satisfied and taken care of an employee feels, the more profitable and productive the company will be. Unfortunately, the ultimate goal is for HR to protect the company they were created to support and often time’s employees are left stranded. Therefore, HR Departments have begun being proactive and educating their employees on ethical actions or the omission of certain actions which can lead to controversy in the workplace.
For the course project this quarter you are going to place yourself into a role within the HR Department. It is your sole responsibility to educate your fellow employees to in turn better protect your company’s character. You will research ideas, reach out to your employees, present your ideas and wrap up to be sure everyone is on the same page.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
***ASSIGNMENT: It’s time to begin the course project by “Naming your company.” Choose a company that you are hypothetically creating for the project. This fictitious company needs to be identified by:
All of this information is going to be fictitious but it is important to have as a foundation for the remainder of the project to be completed.
The overview of your company needs to span in length from 1-2 pages in Word and include all pertinent information about your company. Note: You may also elect to submit a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation with this information.
All of your company information for the remainder of this project is going to be pulled from this initial submission, which must be approved by your faculty member before moving on to subsequent parts. Therefore, if you fail to include pertinent information this week, it will affect your submissions in weeks to come. Please do your due diligence and summarize your company wisely. Your faculty member is available if you need further assistance.
Save your assignment as a Microsoft Word document.

Organization Enterprise Plan and Security Policy
/in Uncategorized /by JosephQuestion description
Organization Enterprise Plan and Security Policy
Prepare a security plan for your chosen organization that provides a security awareness policy using the security policy framework outline prepared in Project 1 according to the Critical Infrastructure document which concentrates on the following integral keywords to cover the necessary elements of an organization security plan. These are: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. The plan is a capstone of the work that you have accomplished in this course. You will use your outline to guide the outcome of the plan in addition to the keywords. The plan is an enterprise plan and security policy that includes the following considerations, analysis approach, and protections for the enterprise::
This plan must be completed and submitted in MS Word format. Use your chosen organization from Project 1 and the outline as a resource.
From the Critical Infrastructure document, align your organizational plan to reflect the intent of the document as follows from an excerpt taken from the document and ensure you read the document in its entirety:
“The Framework complements, and does not replace, an organization’s risk management and cybersecurity program. The organization can use its current processes and leverage the Framework to identify opportunities to strengthen and communicate its management of cybersecurity risk while aligning with industry practices. Alternatively, an organization without an existing cybersecurity program can use the Framework as a reference to establish one.
Just as the Framework is not industry-specific, the common taxonomy of standards, guidelines, and practices that it provides also is not country-specific. Organizations outside the United States may also use the Framework to strengthen their own cybersecurity efforts, and the Framework can contribute to developing a common language for international cooperation on critical infrastructure cybersecurity.
1.1 Overview of the Framework
The Framework is a risk-based approach to managing cybersecurity risk, and is composed of three parts: the Framework Core, the Framework Implementation Tiers, and the Framework Profiles. Each Framework component reinforces the connection between business drivers and cybersecurity activities. These components are explained below.
· The Framework Core is a set of cybersecurity activities, desired outcomes, and applicable references that are common across critical infrastructure sectors. The Core presents industry standards, guidelines, and practices in a manner that allows for communication of cybersecurity activities and outcomes across the organization from the executive level to the implementation/operations level. The Framework Core consists of five concurrent and continuous Functions—Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. When considered together, these Functions provide a high-level, strategic view of the lifecycle of an organization’s management of cybersecurity risk. The Framework Core then identifies underlying key Categories and Subcategories for each Function, and matches them with example Informative References such as existing standards, guidelines, and practices for each Subcategory.
· Framework Implementation Tiers (“Tiers”) provide context on how an organization views cybersecurity risk and the processes in place to manage that risk. Tiers describe the degree to which an organization’s cybersecurity risk management practices exhibit the characteristics defined in the Framework (e.g., risk and threat aware, repeatable, and adaptive). The Tiers characterize an organization’s practices over a range, from Partial (Tier 1) to Adaptive (Tier 4). These Tiers reflect a progression from informal, reactive responses to approaches that are agile and risk-informed. During the Tier selection process, an organization should consider its current risk management practices, threat environment, legal and regulatory requirements, business/mission objectives, and organizational constraints.
· A Framework Profile (“Profile”) represents the outcomes based on business needs that an organization has selected from the Framework Categories and Subcategories. The Profile can be characterized as the alignment of standards, guidelines, and practices to the Framework Core in a particular implementation scenario. Profiles can be used to identify opportunities for improving cybersecurity posture by comparing a “Current” Profile (the “as is” state) with a “Target” Profile (the “to be” state). To develop a Profile, an organization can review all of the Categories and Subcategories and, based on business drivers and a risk assessment, determine which are most important; they can add Categories and Subcategories as needed to address the organization’s risks. The Current Profile can then be used to support prioritization and measurement of progress toward the Target Profile, while factoring in other business needs including cost-effectiveness and innovation. Profiles can be used to conduct self-assessments and communicate within an organization or between organizations.
1.2 Risk Management and the Cybersecurity Framework
Risk management is the ongoing process of identifying, assessing, and responding to risk. To manage risk, organizations should understand the likelihood that an event will occur and the resulting impact. With this information, organizations can determine the acceptable level of risk for delivery of services and can express this as their risk tolerance.
With an understanding of risk tolerance, organizations can prioritize cybersecurity activities, enabling organizations to make informed decisions about cybersecurity expenditures. Implementation of risk management programs offers organizations the ability to quantify and communicate adjustments to their cybersecurity programs. Organizations may choose to handle risk in different ways, including mitigating the risk, transferring the risk, avoiding the risk, or accepting the risk, depending on the potential impact to the delivery of critical services.
The Framework uses risk management processes to enable organizations to inform and prioritize decisions regarding cybersecurity. It supports recurring risk assessments and validation of business drivers to help organizations select target states for cybersecurity activities that reflect desired outcomes. Thus, the Framework gives organizations the ability to dynamically select and direct improvement in cybersecurity risk management for the IT and ICS environments.”
Format: Provide a security policy and plan that will include the framework, essential plans for inclusion in the enterprise, risk management strategies, and recommended solutions for a baseline security control assessment. Refer to NIST 800-39 and FIPS 200 plus NIST 800-53-4. Double space the document. Use APA. Complete with in cite citations and add a reference page. Write DRAFT on the upper right hand corner. Include your name and Project Name on a cover sheet.

Comparing Efficacy Research And Program Evaluation -Peer Responses
/in Uncategorized /by JosephThere needs to be a seperate response to each peer’s posting and it needs to be supported with at least two references for each peer’s posting.
1st Peer Posting
What differences do you note between efficacy research and program evaluation?
The difference between efficacy research and program evaluation is the scientific aspect. Program evaluations “primary purpose is to provide data that can be used by decision makers to make valued judgements about the processes and outcomes of a program (Sherpis, Young, & Daniels, 2010). Therefore, letting the agency know what needs to be changed in the program to make the program effective to their clientele. Efficacy research based on empirical data which is an essential to the scientific method. Therefore, efficacy research is where clients are in controlled environments and interventions can be tested.
What are the key strengths of efficacy research?
The key strength of efficacy research is the scientific process. In the article, The Efficacy of Child Parent Relationship Therapy for Adopted Children with Attachment Disruptions, the researcher wanted to test the child parent relationship therapy (CPRT) which “is an empirically based, manualized counseling intervention for children presenting with a range of social, emotional, and behavioral issues” (Cranes-Holt, & Bratton, 2014). The purpose was to test this theory on adoptive families. Thus, a control group was designed to test CPRT. The researcher used the Child Behavior Checklist-Parent Version (CBCL) and the Measurement of Empathy in Adult-Child Interaction (MEACI). These are both empirical test, the CBCL measures the parents of the child’s behavior problems; whereas, the MEACI is an operational measure that defines empathy between the parents and the child while playing. These tests are conducted in control environments where no outside distractions are permitted and the hypothesis of the researcher can be tested.
What are the key strengths of program evaluation?
The key strength of the program evaluation is the clients are the people who are participating in the program evaluation and whether the interventions used are effective for them. Thus, this lets the research know what changes are needed for the agency to be successful. Therefore, surveys are used to collect data for the participants, the parents, are people that work with the clients or caregivers with the client. This give the ideas of opinions of the people directly or indirectly receiving services. In the article, Evaluating Batter Counseling Programs: A Difficult Task Showing Some Effects and Implications, a multisite evaluation was done and the participants were “administered a uniform set of background questionnaire, personality inventory (MCMI-III; Millon, 1994), and alcohol test (MAST; Selzer, 1971)” (Gondolf, 2004). Therefore, given the research opinions of the clientele over the four sites and let the researcher know what treatment is working and not working. Therefore, the conclusion of the program evaluation “the batterer programs, in our evaluation, appear to contribute to this outcome— there is a ‘‘program effect.’’ (Gondolf, 2004). “Referral to the gender-based, cognitive–behavioral programs, moreover, seems to be appropriate for the majority of men” (Gondolf, 2004).
What contribution does each of these types of research make to the counseling field?
The contribution that efficacy research makes to the counseling field is that there is scientific data that the interventions used with the client will work; if they are utilized correctly by the client. Efficacy research gives the counselor confidence in providing treatment inventions for the client because it will help in the client’s mental health. Program evaluations aid the counselor in what intervention are working and not working for the client population they serve. Program evaluations make sure the agency has the client’s best interest in mind and the agency is using the best intervention and treatment planning to service their client. Program evaluation helps the counselor increase their knowledge base of treatment, interventions, assessments, and diversity for the clients they serve. “Counselors recognize the need for continuing education to acquire and maintain a reasonable level of awareness of current scientific and professional information in their fields of activity. Counselors maintain their competence in the skills they use, are open to new procedures, and remain informed regarding best practices for working with diverse populations” (APA, 2014).
What is a point from any of the articles that you can apply in your current work setting or your ideal counseling fieldwork setting?
A main point that stood out to this learner was the subjectivity of the program evaluation. “Evaluation is, consequently, not an objective or purely scientific process that produces unbiased and conclusive results”. In this view, a program evaluation is a process with a subjective outcome”. This the research must be careful not to impose if owes values and views when evaluating a program from interpreting the data that is given. According to ACA Code of Ethics (2014), standard a.4.b. states “Counselors are aware of—and avoid imposing—their own values, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Counselors respect the diversity of clients, trainees, and research participants and seek training in areas in which they are at risk of imposing their values onto clients, especially when the counselor’s values are inconsistent with the client’s goals or are discriminatory in nature”.

U1D1_KDM Powell_Comparing Efficacy Research and Program Evaluation
Differences
In working with efficacy research, involves general investigation to resolve the analysis of whether a certain program is effective (Royce, Thayer & Padgett, 2016) Evaluation of a program involves assessing whether the program is supplying what is needed by the client attain their goals (Royce, Thayer, & Padgett, 2016). Each has the purpose for a variety of reasons. Program evaluations are practical is do not rely on theory or academics to be performed and can evaluated for one person or a group (Royce, Thayer, & Padgett, 2016). The effectiveness of research offers the research the answers to understand if a program is doing what it was set out to do. The effectiveness or usefulness of a program can mean the difference between expanding a program or creating change. Program evaluation looks at the efficacy of the research to determine if information supplied can be utilized in the program. With this in mind a program can be made better which ultimately make the people involved in the program get better service toward their needs.
Key strengths
Efficacy research digs deep through a process and looks at certain information presented can be something meaningful or misguided. The amount of information that is available can offer a clearer view of the course of actions that can be followed to make success of a client’s life in the participation of a program. The amount of research compiled offers information as to what are the pitfalls or viable assets to a program because if the research was done correct is could be replicated and come to the same conclusion which would produce validity in what found (Royce, Thayer & Padgett, 2016). Understanding how the research was handled and what is revealed within that research can be effectively used as a viable representation to be used in future research.
In the regards to program evaluation, the program that may work in one setting may not work another setting even though client’s may have the same or similar program (Royce, Thayer, & Padgett, 2016). Program evaluation looks at how the program may relate to the clients in that particular setting. As mention with this evaluation, change can occur to be more beneficial. The developers and facilitators of a program can review if the interventions are used are what is best for their client population. Also, having the program based on research can assess what research was used to based their decision on the interventions being used.
Contribution
There are so many programs out there just as there is research out there. There are options that can be utilized to help in the counseling. There is one specific thing that stands out as being definitive in how and what interventions being used. Gondolf (2004) maintains that what makes how effective a program is based on the interventions incorporated in the program. Research and evaluation can set a program a part from all others. Gondolf (2004) believed that defining a program is a major issue. With use of research and evaluation, defining the program can dictate which client based that would be better served, the most suitable setting and effectiveness of the programs as whole.
Point
Information that is out there about evaluation of programs may not be entirely truthful. Gondolf (2004) expressed that producing definitive results can be overwhelming but also the results can be fabricated to produce validation. There should be consideration as to how the results are interpreted based on the research. Sometimes is good to do one’s own research and evaluation. Relying solely on other’s research and evaluation could put the good that one is trying to at risk as well as one’s reputation.

Part 5
1. Discuss the pros and cons of being single. Consider whether there is an optimal length of time or age to be single and discuss the social and personal consequences of remaining single for a lifetime. For example, people who remain single throughout their life may be considered as “having something wrong with them” by others around them. They may be considered “selfish” or unable to find a partner.
2. Discuss the reality of prejudice and discrimination for gay and lesbian youth in America. Here I am not asking you to tale a political or religious position – or to discuss one. This is about the reality of prejudice and/or discrimination. You may choose as part of your answer an academic argument that prejudice and/or discrimination is overstated by the media or other social institutions. You may not, however, say someone is right or wrong if they take any particular position that may differ from yours. Here is an example to consider in your answer – it has been reported that 75% of youth heard homophobic remarks in their school frequently or often, and less than 20% of the youth reported that a faculty or staff member intervened most of the time when present when such remarks were said. Nearly 60% of youth reported feeling not safe in their schools because of sexual orientation. For a full copy of these findings, see the 2013 National School Climate Survey: The experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth in our nation’s schools (http://www.glsen.org/nscs (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.).
3. Discuss changes in family size, childless families, and large families. Address the fact that families used to be much larger and it was a social expectation that married couples would have children. You may post your family size plans, and discuss pronatalist views in society.
Part 6
In this unit, we have read pieces of literature that show us the comparisons of youth and maturity, experience and innocence, and parenting versus being a child that have led to the characters’ experiencing a rite-of-passage or coming-of-age. Write an essay discussing how the coming-of-age or rite-of-passage has affected these characters. Include what part evil, disobedience, and/or lack of respect play in this development. Also, include whether or not the conclusion is positive or negative.
Using these questions, compose a five paragraph essay analyzing the literature. The essay should have an introduction with thesis. The intro should generally discuss what coming of age or rite of passage means IN YOUR OWN WORDS. You may want to discuss what it means to “grow up” and how that experience can change depending on parents or parental role models. You may want to include that age doesn’t matter; one is never too old or too young to gain maturity. The last sentence of the intro should be the thesis. Use the Sample Sentences page in the Intro to Comp II module to help you create a good thesis.
The body paragraphs should analyze the literature itself. Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence (see the Writing about Literature page in the Intro to Comp II module). No paragraph should be less than 5 sentences. I strongly suggest you go back and read the Intro to Comp II module to see the Writing about Literature page and how to use MLA guidelines. Also, you may want to review pages 452-471 in the textbook for help. Be sure to include direct quotes within the essay that support your opinions. You MUST INCLUDE a direct quote from the short story or poem being discussed in EACH paragraph. In the paragraph about “Where,”you will have a direct quote from the short story AND a direct quote from the secondary source. Therefore, this paragraph will have at least 6 sentences instead of 5. You are using ONLY the literature from this unit and the required secondary source. Please review the Documenting page and the MLA Quick Reference page in the Intro to Comp II module.
Part 7 75-150 words
Failure Happens. Where Do You Go Next?
We don’t always succeed at everything we try, but failure is not necessarily a bad thing. What is really important regarding failure is what we do AFTER we fail.
Sometimes we learn something about ourselves, make changes, try again and succeed… the point is that a failure can be a true learning experience and/or a growth experience.
In this post, you will:
Share a personal experience of a failure which became a lesson or growth experience.
Describe the situation.
Share your feelings at the time of the failure and your feelings at some point after the failure.
Describe how you found the courage/strength/grit to move forward, try again…
Explain what the experience taught you and how you will continue to apply what you learned.
Part 8
Continuing to Work on the Final Project
Express some of the challenges you may be experiencing while trying to complete this assignment, and how you plan to overcome them.
What are some of the benefits you see in completing this project?
Part 9
Where Does the Time Go?
It’s pretty common to hear people say, “I don’t know how I am going to get this all done.” We may think we manage our time well and know how to multitask, but there are always tips and tricks that help us make the most of our time.
For example, every day after school, one mother usually waited for her son 10-15 minutes in the parking lot of the elementary school. She realized that sitting there was simply a waste of her time. She then chose to log in to her online class with her cell phone and read her textbook during this time. At the end of the week, she realized that the time in the car was 50-75 minutes of reading time!
Likewise, a father carried 10 flashcards each day in his pocket. He took 5 minutes on each of his breaks at work to review the cards. He found that he retained so much more information by taking 5 minutes here and there to review concepts. Tips like this help students balance school, work, family, and other life demands.
In this post, you will:
Explain time management in your own words.
Explain how a person truly knows if he or she manages time well. What evidence supports the idea that someone manages time well?
Provide at least two time-saving tips that you use/ have used at school, at work, or in life, and explain how they have helped you.
Explain how “I need” statements can help with time management.
Part 10
In this scenario, you are part of an online class business class which is studying diversity in the workplace and diversity training. The prompt asked about the purpose of diversity initiatives/trainings, and how they can benefit business. A student posted what he experienced at his workplace diversity training not too long ago. A second student replied to his post, but with a very different “take” on the topic.
Here is a copy of the second post:
You got lucky. My job makes us attend these stupid trainings for diversity every year, and they are a complete waste of time. I mean, I am not going to be mean to lazy people who don’t do their work because they come from cultures where people don’t work hard. I know it’s not their fault that they were raised that way, and I guess they do ok for who they are and all, but that doesn’t mean I have to like picking up their slack. But that’s the world today, we have to accept everyone and everything.
Your job is to respond to thesecond post and maintain professionalism while you do. Your response should defuse the situation (rather than make it worse).
Part 11
One aspect of the final project is to anticipate any upcoming events that might delay your progress toward graduation (i.e. a pregnancy, military deployment, planned move, etc.)Discuss how you plan to work around these speed bumps so you can get back on track quickly.
If you cannot think of any planned speed bumps, then discuss the impact of unanticipated circumstances (earning grades of “F” or withdrawing from courses)How will these impact your progress toward graduation, and what can you do to mitigate those circumstances?
Part 12

Your paper should start with a statement or a claim about what it takes to be a successful student in an online college.(This is called your argument – refer to Pocket Keys for Writers chapter 3a).
Throughout the rest of the paper, you will support your argument by providing descriptions, explanations or examples of the mindsets, skillsets, and tips for success that you believe to be relevant.
The paper should be 750 words, (using a font such as 12 pt. Times New Roman).
Part 17
Your assignment this week is to have an “I need” conversation with someone close to you (friend or family member).There are two parts to this assignment. First, you need to prepare for your discussion by creating a “conversation plan.” Then, you need to reflect on how the conversation unfolded. You will submit your outline of the conversation plan (part one) on the same page as your reflection (part two).
PART ONE: Here is the outline for your conversation plan.
1.Create a vision of the ideal state (“I want to earn this college degree”)
2.Explain your reasons for setting that goal, be sure to point out what’s in it for your friend/family member (“With a degree, I can earn more money for our family”)
3.Explain what it will take in order for you to achieve that goal (“I need two to three hours of quiet time each night in order to study”)
4.Explain how the other person can help you (“If you can bathe the kids and put them to bed, I will be able to study”)
5.Anticipate any resistance (“I know you are tired by the end of the day, and so it may be a challenge to do that by yourself”)
6.Offer a solution or a compromise (“I can help on the weekends, but I have deadlines on Sundays and Tuesdays”)
7.Remind your friend/family member of the positive outcome (“If we can work this out, then I can graduate in three years and we then will be able to afford that new car we want to buy”)
PART TWO: After you have the “I need” conversation, reflect upon how it went.Then, write a reflection paper that includes the following information
1.Recap your “I need…” conversation. With whom did you have the conversation? Did you cover your main points?Why or why not?
2.Reflect on your emotions. How were you feeling during the conversation?
3.Analyze your friend/family member’s reaction. How did the person respond to your conversation?
4.Anticipated results: Do you believe you will get what you need?Why or why not?
5.If you were to have the “I need” conversation with a second person, would you change anything given your experience with the first conversation?Why or why not?
Part 18
General Education
For this assignment, you will create a tri-fold brochure that explains to your classmates why college students need to complete General Education Courses.
First, go to the Grantham University Catalog and select three general education courses that you feel are significant to a college student’s education.
Then create a tri-fold brochure in which you explain why it is essential that a college student complete each one of these courses.Be creative; use pictures associated with attending college.Your brochure should be a professional document; grammar, spelling, and punctuation are important.
Use the brochure template to develop your tri-fold brochure.NOTE: While this layout does not seem to make sense if you view it as a flat Word document, recall that the final product would be folded.
Here are the guidelines for presenting your information. The pages of the linked template have been labeled to help you organize your brochure.

Here are the elements of an Academic Plan:
1.The first column lists the terms you need to complete the degree (usually 10 terms for an Associate’s degree; 20 terms for the Bachelor’s degree; these may vary with each student).
2.The second column lists the month/year of the term – noting if you need to take time off for other commitments (use the * and footnotes to explain)
3.The third column lists the first course you plan to take.
4.The fourth column lists the second course you plan to take.It is suggested, but not required, that you take two courses per term; check with your Financial Aid plan to see if there are requirements on how many courses you can take per term.
The Academic Plan is simply a table that you can create in a Word document.Here is a truncated example:
* I plan to take off the month of July 2019 due to a work trip I have to take but I will come back in August
