1. Control Variables
Which control variables did you choose for these experiments? Reply to your classmates and discuss whether some of these are things that would be “coincidentally the same” versus ones that “you take deliberate action to keep the same.”
2. Food Storage
Use the knowledge you gained in this lab to begin a discussion about how cooking foods or refrigerating them affects browning of vegetables, growth of bacteria/fungus, and spoiling or decomposing of food. Alternately, speculate on how the apples in a HappyMeal don’t turn brown for days on end. What might they have done to them?
3. Other Enzymes
There are many other enzymes common to food and nutrition. Choose one you have heard of and do a little research. Propose an experiment with one of these, complete with all three types of variables named. Critique each other’s experiments and suggest improvements. If you’re really brave, run the experiment and report on the results. (Suggestions – Bromelain, meat tenderizer, Lactaid, lipase, Beano, etc.)

The Dynamic Deliverable is the implementation (or proof of implementation) of students’ proposed solution
The Dynamic Deliverable is the implementation (or proof of implementation) of students’ proposed solution. Previously submitted Dynamic Deliverables include, but are not limited to, websites students developed about their chosen themes, paintings, and a screenshot of the submission to the CDC of a student’s proposal. In the case of the student referenced in the Final Project Product Proposal as an example, for his dynamic deliverable, he submitted an image of his own painting of a melting earth due to climate change.
The following sample is from a student who chose the topic of FIU-HWCOM Curriculum Enhancement & Adoption of Communicable Diseases for his Final Project Proposal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz5frsuReLc
He developed a mock curriculum that incorporates courses on Communicable Diseases
The “deliverable(s)” you create will mirror (to some extent) the types of materials your professor will utilize in the course to deliver content in diverse ways—to foster interest & problem/trend/issue analysis, provide additional context, and appeal to varying learning styles, abilities, and preferences of students en route to global awareness, perspective taking, & global engagement.
The Dynamic Deliverable may consist of student-created, original items such as, but not limited to:
Podcasts/Recorded Interview
TED (style) Talk/Speech (video recorded)
Poetry Series Composition
Music Composition & Performance
White-paper for Recommended Policy Change to Those in Power
Public Service Announcement Poster Series/Video Commercial
Product Prototype
Original Photography
Narrative Short Story

Porter (1996) argued, “Competitive strategy is about being different.
Porter (1996) argued, “Competitive strategy is about being different. It means deliberately choosing a different set of activities to deliver a unique mix of value. But the essence of strategy is in the activities – choosing to perform activities differently or to perform different activities than rivals. Otherwise, a strategy is nothing more than a marketing slogan that will not withstand competition.” Does this 20+ year-old concept offer an effective understanding of the relationship between strategy and decision making in today’s organizations? Why or why not?

The focus on equality:
In Finland, all students have access to high-quality education regardless of their background. This is accomplished by investing heavily in education, creating a highly decentralized system that grants considerable authority to local authorities, and placing a premium on the professional development of educators (durbanzanrik, 2012). Educators in the United States should take a page out of Finland’s book by making it a priority to provide all pupils, regardless of race, income, or where they live, with a first-rate education.
• The emphasis on play-based learning:
Finnish children get a lot of recess time at school. This is due to the fact that it is generally agreed that play is crucial to the educational process (durbanzanrik, 2012). Children’s play is essential for their healthy mental, social, and emotional growth. Teachers in the United States might take a page from Finland’s book and make their classrooms more like playgrounds.
• The use of formative assessment:
Gathering data on students’ progress in order to offer them useful feedback and guidance is the goal of formative assessment. In contrast, learning is measured during a unit or course through formative assessment. Teachers in Finland rely heavily on formative assessment to monitor student growth and offer targeted interventions (durbanzanrik, 2012). The Finnish model of implementing formative assessment efficiently in the classroom is one that American teachers may learn from.
Challenges
There are two major challenges to bringing Finland’s excellent educational techniques to the United States. The first challenge is there is the issue of cultural disparities between the two nations. When compared to the United States, Finland’s egalitarian culture and little emphasis on competition are clear advantages. As a result, it may be necessary to make adjustments before directly importing Finnish techniques to conform with the cultural context of the US. Secondly, there is the difficulty of the United States’ education system’s extreme decentralization. In Finland, the national government plays a central role in education policy, while in the United States, states are given considerable autonomy in this area. State education agencies, guidelines, and funding structures vary from one another. Due to the necessity for coordination and cooperation among numerous state-level authorities, the adoption of standard reforms in the US education system becomes challenging. To overcome these obstacles, we would need to take cultural considerations and the decentralized nature of the US school system into account.

), which contains a scenario highlighting some ethically concerning behaviors. Students will then write an essay discussing the concerning behavior and utilize an ethical decision-making model to determine what steps to take to resolve the problem. The paper should include the following headings and content within each heading:
1. Introduction: Please describe the ethically concerning behaviors that you observed in the vignette.
2. Step-Wise Model: As Jane and Henry’s coworker, use the “Step-Wise Model” for ethical decision-making taught in Chapter 7 of your textbook and discuss how you would go through each of the steps to come up with a method of intervening.
3. Advice: If you were able to speak with Jane and Henry before this scenario occurred, what practical advice and/or alternative solutions would you have given them in order to avoid the scenario that occurred?
4. Personal Reflection: How is this formal decision-making model similar and/or different from your intuitive thought process? Did the steps of the model alert you to anything unique that you might not have considered otherwise?
The essay should be 3 full pages of text, plus a title page and reference page. No abstract needed. Paper should be in proper APA format.
HMS 320 Ethics Vignette Paper (using the Step-Wise Decision-Making Model)
One day, Jane, a human service employee at MHC (a mental health clinic in your area) showed up to work a few minutes late. She rushed past the front desk clerk, Henry, and noticed that several client files had fallen on the ground and were scattered on the floor behind his desk. Given her tardiness, she stepped over the files and lightly kicked them back toward Henry’s desk so he would see them after he was finished checking a patient into the clinic. As an added precaution, Jane decided to send Henry an email from her Gmail account on her phone to let him know to clean the files up around his desk. As Jane walked into the meeting, she sent this email to Henry: “Hey Henry! As I was just walking by your desk, I noticed that the case files for Jimmy Ordy and Susan West were on the floor. I overheard Dr. Rex talking about those patients in the kitchen yesterday and he said they both have really severe diagnoses of bipolar disorder and alcohol addiction. Probably want to be sure you pick those up so their private information isn’t seen by anyone else. Let’s grab lunch later today!” As Jane finished off the email, she leaned over to you (her co-worker) and told you the above scenario. You immediately have some concerns about some of these behaviors. If you could pause time and implement the Step-Wise decision-making model, what would that look like
