Posted on | by

 

 

For this discussion you are to talk about the hypotheses you would like to test in the Self-Report Data Survey. These hypotheses are what you might want to use for Paper 1. Please read the entire Paper 1 Description before submitting this assignment, if you have not already.

After last week, you now know about a number of the scales present in the survey. Think about how these things could relate to each other and post 1-3 hypotheses of interest. Your discussion group will give you feedback on these hypotheses.

Then, you will narrow down to 1 hypothesis for your Paper 1 plan (choose the one you are most interested in and feel most confident in based on your peers’ feedback!).

You can review the list of possible variables here Download here. You will also need to describe how you are operationalizing your variables in the Paper 1 plan, you can review the measurement using the full survey Download full survey.

Maybe there is a better scale you didn’t notice.
Maybe your understanding of what a scale measures is off.
Is there another interesting hypothesis suggested from one you already listed?
Is there a possible confound that you could rule out in the survey (e.g. maybe conscientiousness is related to GPA, but older students are more conscientious and you want to make sure age doesn’t correlate with GPA).

Posted on | by

 

In this practice activity, you will identify the role discovery plays in a court case. You will also explain how discovery affects discretionary decisions and describe how discovery influences proper documentation.

Prompt
In this module, you have learned about the process of discovery. You will now apply this knowledge to research a court case and describe the discovery process, explain how discovery affected discretionary decisions, and describe how discovery influenced proper documentation. First, read two court cases regarding discovery:

Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963)
Giles v. Maryland, 386 U.S. 66 (1967)
Next, research a court case in which discovery was a main factor of the case. A great place to start your research is the U.S. Law & Legislature webpage from the Justice Studies research guide in the Shapiro Library. Be sure to cite the case in APA style. In 100–150 words, identify the role discovery played in the case. For example, did the prosecution fail to disclose evidence, or was there egregious discovery conduct and destruction of evidence?

Then, in 100–150 words, explain how discovery affected discretionary decisions in the case. Did discovery affect discretionary decisions made by important stakeholders, such as the judge, counsel, or jury?

Last, in 100–150 words, describe how discovery in the case influenced proper documentation. Remember to keep in mind that documentation may include anything from photographic evidence to police reports or court documents.

Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:

Identify the role discovery played
Explain how discovery affected discretionary decisions
Describe how discovery influenced proper documentation

CASE STUDY: Albert

Posted on | by

 

Albert Mitchell is a 36-year-old man who will be traveling to Dubai to give a business presentation in 3 months. Although he has traveled widely in the United States as a consultant, this is his first trip to the Middle East. He requests information regarding immunizations needed before his trip. Albert states that as he will be in Dubai for only a few days, he is unlikely to contract a disease in such a short time and therefore believes that it is illogical to obtain immunizations. Albert states that he has heard that the side effects of the immunizations might be worse than the diseases they prevent. He is also concerned about leaving his wife at home alone because she is 6 months pregnant.

Reflective Questions
