Week 2 – Assignment Intentional Learning

Week 2 – Assignment

Intentional Learning

[CLOs: 1, 2]

Your primary goals for this assignment are to explain the concept of learning, what it means to be an intentional learner, and identify how you have been using your Learning Patterns in everyday situations, even when you may not have been aware of them.

 

Directions:

 

In a 4-paragraph essay that is two to three pages in length, address the following:

 

Paragraph 1 (Introduction): Your book defines learning as, “Taking in the world around you through your senses, making sense of it, and responding appropriately.” In your own words, explain what this means. Then, because the goal of this course is to help you become more intentional, describe what it means to be an intentional learner. Consider what you’ve read in Chapters 1 and 2 as you formulate your response.

 

Paragraph 2: Now that you’ve explained what it means to be an intentional learner, identify two examples from your life (personal, professional, or academic) and describe how you approached them with intention.

 

Paragraph 3: Share your LCI scores and level of use for each Learning Pattern. Do you feel the results accurately reflect your thoughts, feelings, and actions for each Pattern? Explain why or why not. Review the tables 2.1-2.4 in Chapter 2 for descriptions of each Pattern.

 

Paragraph 4 (Conclusion): We use our Learning Patterns in all areas of our life. Describe how having an awareness of your Learning Patterns can help you in each of the following areas: at home, in school, and at work.

 

Academic assignments typically have formatting requirements. For this assignment, it is suggested that your work is double spaced and written using Times New Roman 12-point font. Submit the final draft to Waypoint as a Microsoft Word document.

QNT/275 Apply: Connect Week 3 Case

Three hundred consumers between 21 and 49 years old were randomly selected. After sampling a new wine cooler, each was asked to rate the appeal of the phrase: “Not sweet like wine coolers, not filling like beer, and more refreshing than wine or mixed drinks” as it relates to the new wine cooler. The rating was made on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 representing “extremely appealing” and with 1 representing “not at all appealing”.

 

As a manager overseeing the development of the concept, you bottle the wine cooler and placed it into distribution in one test store.

 

Your manager has asked you to assess the data and determine the most likely customer based on the ratings. Additionally, your manager would like you to review sales in the test store.

 

Use the Week 3 Data Set to create and calculate the following in Excel®:  

Estimate the probability that a randomly selected 21 to 49 year old consumer:

Would give the phrase a rating of 5

 

Would give the phrase a rating of 3 or higher

 

Is in the 21-24 age group

 

Is a male who gives the phrase a rating of 4

 

Is a 35 to 49 year old who gives the phrase a rating of 1

 

Based on the probabilities for the ratings of 4 and 5, which age/gender demographic would be the best target audience for the new concept?   

Create a probability distribution using the data which shows how many cartons of the wine cooler were bought per customer in a month. 

Calculate the mean and the standard deviation of your probability distribution. 

 

Calculate the probability that exactly 3 six packs will be bought in a month.

 

Calculate the probability that between 4 and 8 six packs will be bought in a month.

 

Calculate the probability that at least 5 six packs will be bought in a month.

 

Calculate the probability that no more than 5 six packs will be bought in a month. 

 

Create a relative frequency distribution based on the wine cooler drinking temperatures. 

Create 6 bins with the same interval in each. 

 

Create a histogram

 

Considering the mean and standard deviation for the ideal drinking temperature: 

Calculate z values then refer to Table 6.1 – Cumulative Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve 

Calculate the probability of the wine cooler being less than 45 degrees.

 

Calculate the probability of the wine cooler being greater than 60 degrees.

 

Calculate the percentage of wine coolers served at the ideal temperature, between 49 and 55 degrees.

Teaching For Social Justice 10-12 Slide Digital Presentation

For this assignment, you will create a short (1-2 minutes) video or a 10-12 slide digital presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) that you could share with students and their families that discusses why and how you will teach for social justice.  Consider how your personal identity, worldview, and prior experiences affect your perceptions and expectations in interacting with students and their families.

Identify a biblical verse that inspires you to teach for social justice.  The following list may guide you:

1. Matthew 7:12 (NIV)

In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

2. Philippians 2:3 (NIV)

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves

3. Titus 2:7-8a (ESV)

Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity and sound speech

Presentation: ATC And MX Resource Management

The Aloha Airlines 737-200 accident sparked the interest in  maintenance human factors and maintenance resource management (MRM). It  prompted Transport Canada to produce the “dirty dozen”: a maintenance  course designed to identify judgment errors. Likewise, after many  aircraft near misses, Europe and the Federal Aviation Administration  (FAA) produced training programs such as the air traffic teamwork  enhancement (ATTE) and team resource management (TRM). These courses  were designed to promote awareness and safety and reduce human error.

 

Instructions

Review the readings and this article retrieved from the Hunt Library, Crew Resource Management: Improving Team Work in High Reliability Industries and start a narrated presentation. 

 

Address the following: 

 

Explain the two topics (ATC and MX) for clarification and understanding.

 

Discuss the similarities and differences of MRM and TRM from CRM.

 

Assess the impact of these applications to aviation safety.

 

Finally, provide examples by identifying aircraft accidents or  workplace accidents where this training might have made a difference in  the outcome.

 

Your presentation should consist of approximately 7-10 slides (not  including the title slide and the reference slide). With a suggested  length of 3-5 minutes of audio, overall. The information should be  properly cited and referenced using the current APA edition.

PHL 1010-12K-1A19-S4, Critical Thinking Course-To-Course Navigation Unit II

As you journey through this unit and are honing your critical thinking skills, you might recognize many ideas identified in the Game Plan. To assist in your critical thinking process, the Game Plan (located on pages 38-42 in your textbook) was created to help assist you in making critical decisions through the use of ten strategies.

This assignment calls for you to complete a table that will focus on a recent experience in your life. Within the table, you will identify your experience, how you reacted to the experience, two game-plan strategies that could have changed your outcome, and what the new outcome might have been.

 

Make sure you:

 

Describe the situation and why it was important to you.

 

Describe how you reacted.

 

Identify two of the strategies identified in the book and develop critical thinking questions you would ask yourself as part of your self-assessment.

Include bullet points sharing your decision-making process.

 

Address the new outcomes/solutions resulting from the integration of these strategies.

Assignment 1: Economic Brief

In the workplace, we are often asked to create “briefs.” A brief provides a snapshot, or short, written summary, of a situation or event that has occurred. It is generally just a few pages long and may include additional visuals like a graph, chart, or table. In this assignment, write a brief about economic concepts in an industry that interests you. 

 

Industry Selection

 

Use this resource to select an industry and learn about the products and services it provides:

 

NAICS (North American Industry Classification System)

 

 https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/sssd/naics/naicsrch?chart=2017 

 

Select the number next to the industry to see its subsectors, e.g., select 52 to see Finance and Insurance.

 

Select that same number again to read about the industry as a whole or select a sub-category. For example, Mining is 21, and Oil and Gas Extraction, a sub-category, is 211.

 

Instructions

 

Review your previous chapter readings and use the resource above to develop an economic brief that is two to three (2-3) pages long in which you:

 

Select an industry and describe the goods and/or services this industry produces. Use the NAICS resource above to help you select an industry (and/or subsector) for your brief. 

 

Identify this industry’s market structure and at least two or more market characteristics that support this market structure. (Market structures are covered in Weeks 3 and 4.)

 

Describe any notable microeconomic relationships, market outcomes, and/or trends in this industry. Include a graph, chart, or table containing related data. (Microeconomic relationships and market outcomes are covered in Weeks 2 through 4.)

 

How might government impact this industry’s market prices, output, and/or market structure? (Government intervention through price controls, industry regulations, and antitrust enforcement is covered in Weeks 2 and 4.)

 

This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different compared to other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details. (Note: You’ll be prompted to enter your Blackboard login credentials to view these standards.)

Your brief should include a cover page.

 

Your brief should be two to three (2-3) pages in length (not including the cover page), double-spaced, 12-point font.

 

Your brief should include a minimum of one (1) reference/citation in the text.

Philosophy Presentation

A 4-6 page paper, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font (this will generate a minimum of 88 lines in a 4-page paper; the penalty is 2 points per every line short). NO first person references. You must include at least 5 works cited; one of the sources should come from either of your two textbooks by Mitchell. I require a title but not a title page; I do require that you properly cite your sources.

OR

A 15-20 minute one-on-one conversational presentation with the instructor.

Choose a philosopher. Discuss the basic philosophy of a philosopher you feel confident you have understood and have an interest in exploring further. Narrow your focus to an area of philosophy discussed throughout the semester – Metaphysics, Epistemology, or Axiology. Describe the origins of this philosophy by comparing/contrasting it to the thinking of another philosopher or school of thought.

Choose from the following list (you may choose someone not on this list, but it must be approved by the instructor in advance):

Anaximander

Anselm

Aquinas

Augustine

Bentham

Berkeley

de Beauvoir

Descartes Epicurus 

Gilman

Hegel Heidegger

Heraclitus

Hobbes

Hume

Hypatia

James Kant 

Kierkegaard

Leibniz Locke

Mill (Harriet T.) Mill (John S.)  Nietzsche 

Rousseau

Sartre

Spinoza

Schelling

Schopenhauer  Spinoza

Thales Wittgenstein

Wollstonecraft 

Xenophanes

Consider the following questions in your paper or presentation:

· What is this person’s philosophy? (Concentrate on a particular area of their philosophy to narrow your approach)

· Does this philosophy present a reaction to or an attack upon another philosopher or school of thought?

· Why is your chosen philosopher more convincing than the philosophy it is reacting to or attacking?

Have a clear thesis/idea that considers the above questions. See samples below:

· Kant was correct in criticizing Hume’s radical skepticism; little can be known about the world, but there can be an understanding of and about the self in relation to the world.

· Berkeley’s radical position that the world inside your head is the only world we can know, trumps Locke’s untenable argument of a world of knowable objects existing apart from oneself.

· While Bentham’s Utilitarianism was groundbreaking, John Stuart Mill should be credited for making it a viable ethical philosophy.

My topic:Strategic Games (A Nash equilibrium is a pair of strategies, one for each player, in which each strategy is a best response against the other).

 

When players act rationally, optimally, and in their own self-interest, it’s possible to compute the likely outcomes (equilibria) of games. By studying games, we learn not only where our strategies are likely to take us, but also how to modify the rules of the game to our own advantage. 

Equilibria of sequential games, where players take turns moving, are influenced by who moves first (a potential first-mover advantage, or disadvantage), and who can commit to a future course of action. Credible commitments are difficult to make because they require that players threaten to act in an unprofitable way—against their self-interest.

Remarks:  The response must be detailed and answer the primary question and subpart of the primary question.  Write clearly, concisely, use proper grammar and writing mechanics. You must use APA format and cite (2) references.
