...Running head: UNV-501: ARTICLE SUMMARY UNV-501: Article Summary Melissa Osborne Grand Canyon University Title: UNV-5: Article Summary This article titled “Read-only participants: a case for student communication in online classes” discussed the importance of communication in online courses as well as the reasons why students succeed or fail in these online courses. To obtain answers to the concerns previously listed, an 8 week study of students in an online class was conducted. This study consisted of monitoring online communication and classroom activity among students with different backgrounds with geographical location and age being two of the main contributing factors. From this study, results of both success and failure were discovered and documented. From the aspect of success, the following results were found: First, classes that had online discussion helped students that would normally be introverts in a traditional class, to be active in discussions. Second, this type of class helped to improve the learning of students by creating questions and answers (in the form of posts) of high critical thinking skills. Third, online discussions that were developed created a community of support and healthy interaction (L. Nagel, et al., 2007). Fourth, the facilitator (professor) that was very interactive with his class became a great asset to the online class because he provided feedback and affirmations to the students through posted replies. Because...

...Scholarly Article Summary Meisha Alliya Williams 2/18/13 Sawchuk, S. (2012, April 25). Many teachers not ready for common core. Education Week, 31(29), 12-17. Most U. S teachers are not ready for the shift in their teaching style and rigor that will be required by the new common core standards that have been adopted by most states. There are many gaps in the pedagogical shifts for educators in their teaching style and the funding of professional development needed for teachers to be able to implement the common core standards with fidelity. This article is scholarly based on the data and research used to summarize the findings through an established education resource and writer. Burns, M. (2012, December). Go figure: Math and common core. Education Leadership, 70(4), 42-46. The mathematical standards need to be applied by all k-12 students. It is essential that teachers and students use and apply the standards effectively in order to become mathematical thinkers. Numerical reasoning is going to be very crucial in that students have a good grasp of these skills in order to be the most successful in mathematics through 5th grade. This article is a scholarly article based upon the data used from student observation and questioning utilized during the explanation of the facts from a well educational consultant and business owner, Kober, N., & Rentner, D.

...Summary of “A Cell-Based Systems Biology Assessment of Human Blood to Monitor Immune Responses after Influenza Vaccination The goal of this study was to create methods and define protocols that may be used in future systems vaccinology studies. Having these tools at the ready can lend a hand in investigating the various reactions of different cell types to the immune response generated after vaccination. Scientists used influenza vaccinations in this study. Among the questions addressed the most important was if it was possible to develop these protocols and methods to study immune response to vaccinations in various individuals. One question addressed was how to “investigate the contribution of individual cell types to the immune response after vaccination.” (Hoek) Another question was is there any changes in protein-coding or non-coding RNA transcripts after vaccination. To answer their questions, the scientists established an efficient way to purify human T and B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, myeloid dendritic cells, monocytes and neutrophils from venous blood. Having this method not only helps conclude a hypothesis, but can be used in the future to help other scientists conduct their experiment. Using this high dimensional molecular approach, scientists can use systems biology to identify changes in the blood caused by vaccinations or other perturbations. Their results reveal that RNA and protein expression profiles from each individual sorted cell type differ from...

When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice at bottom. Contributors:Elyssa Tardiff, Allen Brizee. Summary: This resource describes why outlines are useful, what types of outlines exist, suggestions for developing effective outlines, and how outlines can be used as an invention strategy for writing. Four Main Components for Effective Outlines Ideally, you should follow the four suggestions presented here to create an effective outline. When creating a topic outline, follow these two rules for capitalization: For firstlevel heads, present the information using all uppercase letters; and for secondary and tertiary items, use upper and lowercase letters. The examples are taken from the Sample Outline handout. Parallelism—How do I accomplish this? Each heading and subheading should preserve parallel structure. If the first heading is a verb, the second heading should be a verb. Example: I. CHOOSE DESIRED COLLEGES II. PREPARE APPLICATION ("Choose" and "Prepare" are both verbs. The present tense of the verb is usually the preferred form for an outline.) Coordination—How do I accomplish this? All the information contained in Heading 1 should have the same significance as the information contained in Heading 2. The same goes for the subheadings (which should be less significant than the headings)...

...ARTICLE 1: COMMUNITY MUSIC LESSONS IMPROVE MINDS OF DISADVANTAGED KIDS SUMMARY This article is written by Shereen Lehman. It was about music lessons can improve the minds of children. Community based music lessons for disadvantaged youth can have positive biological effects on their brains. The children were actively playing instruments themselves rather than passively listening to others’ music. In this article, it explained that the children between the ages six and nine participated in the study published in the Journal of Neuroscience. They all went to public schools and lived in gang-reduction zones of Los Angeles. The children were split it into two groups. One group started lessons right away. For two hours per week, they received training in music fundamentals and learning to play the recorder. Most kids progressed to group instruction with instruments after six months. The second group waited a year before starting lessons. Each year the research team evaluated the children’s ability to process speech. Children who took lessons for two years showed improvements in their ability to distinguish similar sounds. However, these changes were not apparent after only one year. The music deeply engages the emotional system of the brain and children learn best when they’re excited about things. COMMENT Music is an art form whose medium is sound. It is about melody and harmony. Music is something that known as universal language. Regardless of where are you from and...

...Article Summary With online education becoming more widely accepted and available around the world, many people wonder about the differences between traditional classrooms and virtual classrooms. One difference is student participation and communication. In a traditional classroom setting, some students are able to earn credit by just attending class, not necessarily participating in class discussions. What do those types of students look like in an online environment? Does their lack of participation affect the learning process for others? How does class participation equate to student success? With this case study, the authors sought to answer those questions exactly. More particularly, the study examined online students who fail to fully engage but are still able to show educational progress, referred to as read-only participants or ROPs (Nagel, Blignaut, & Cronje, 2009). The authors wanted to understand the connection between participation and communication and course success. They organized an eight-week online Masters course using WebCT as the learning management system (LMS). Twenty-two middle-aged students, from all over the world, participated in the course. Students were required to participate through class discussion via forum posts, group assignments, and other research. A collaboration rubric was created by the students as a group assignment and used by their peers to measure their group participation. After the course, the facilitators requested...

Application in classroom setting 1. The HIPPA Act 2. Ethics as the core A Risk management gives rise to various policies, which focus on making patients and clients secure since they can access care in diverse hospitals. Indeed, the exposure of patients to various risks during the treatment process affects their livelihood. The article indicates that most patients and legal representatives are not genuine since they sue the health care providers to their own advantage. Consequently, physicians acknowledge issues, which are not to be reimbursed. Apparently, attitudes focusing on revenge by patients create a croaky affiliation amidst the facilities, lawyers and patients. Attributable to the friction, medical lawsuits have become expensive. Studies equally exemplify that the patients ultimately become the beneficiaries of the lawsuits. The patients, being the determinants of the claim, necessitate the utilization of funds as compensation. An additional issue pertains to reduced government involvement in the damages yet its judges play a major role in making decisions. During litigation process, more time is spent. It equally emerges that court judgments register the premier amount of recompense in comparison to cases settled locally...

...Summary of Articles Bibliography Mallon, G. P. (2006). Busting Out of the Child Welfare Closet: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender-Affirming Approaches. Child Welfare, 115-122. The subject of working with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) children, teens and their families is virtually unrecognized by the child welfare system. In order to make changes and human service professionals to start effectively assist this population, significant changes must be made. The focus must be to embrace the child and his lifestyle and show the family that they can function to the best of their ability. The first step is acceptance and to recognize that this effects all areas of child welfare services. This will not occur unless the case manager takes them out of the “heterocentric” world. Policies and laws must change. The government must take a step back and realize that this issue is not going away and ignoring it by worrying about the implications of funding programs to support this alternative lifestyle, will only make this population for more alienated. Agencies working with the LGBT community should look at the work those areas such as New York and San Francisco, where the youth are sheltered by local laws and acceptance of their lifestyle is tolerated. Information alone will not make a transformation. Acceptance and training must infiltrate all areas of the agency. The youth and their families must be met with understanding and guidance. There are...

...CNED 602 Counseling Theories 9 October 2012 SUMMARY In the article Does Psychotherapy Help Some Students, Eder and Whitson (2006) provided an overview of 75 studies of outcome research on the effects of psychotherapy on children. Eder and Whitson (2006) discussed the dilemma of students unable to learn because of emotional or behavioral issues while “No Child Left Behind {is} requiring that all children succeed academically” (Eder and Whitson, 2006, pp. 337). While the American School Counselor Association National Model lists the responsibilities of a school counselor as “promoting the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students,” a study reviewed in this article indicated 17% to 22% of school-age youth have developmental, emotional, or behavioral issues (Eder and Whitson, 2006, pp. 337). The authors’ intent was to research the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions on adolescents and youth to determine, for school counselors and school administration, if school counselors should increase these types of interventions in a school setting or refer more students for appropriate treatment. The compilation of data from the research outcome studies typically used a control group and a treatment group of children ranging in age between 3 and 15 years old with a wide range of clinical issues. Eder and Whitson (2006) detailed the multiples studies areas of positive and negative effects with emphasis on client factors, counselor...
