Instructions : Just as Shindler (2010) recommends the importance of accountability and responsibility in learning, it is highly suggested that you complete all steps for your own growth and learning.

· Apply directions that follow each heading below. Do not change or delete any of the headings. Refer to the assignment instructions to determine the content to place under each heading.

· Have a peer provide feedback on your paper and complete the Peer-Feedback Form. You may ask a fellow learner or someone you work with to complete the form. Include the complete Peer-Feedback Form with this assignment.

· Carefully complete self-assessment requirements by following the steps in the Process of Self-Assessment section. The idea behind the use of the Self-Assessment of Competencies rubric is to assist you in critically analyzing your work and identifying assignment criteria that align to overall competency outcomes. Criteria for steps 3 and 4 will be key to completing assignment expectations.

· Delete these instructions and any references that do not apply to your assignment. Your assignment will be returned if the instructions are not deleted and/or references do not align with references in your assignment.

Behavior Assessment

1. Provide a detailed overview of a student’s current behavior that needs to be changed in order to improve the learning environment.

2. Identify the outcomes for the student’s behavior change, including the rationale for the change, the behavior goal, and the replacement behavior.

3. Develop intervention procedures to implement in order to change the identified behavior.

************

4. Results and Reflection

[You will not complete this part in Unit 8; in Unit 10, you will submit this as part of your Classroom Management Portfolio. After you collect data for a week on your change, return to your document and report your results and your reflection on the change here for submission later. Before you submit your course project, complete this final section by answering the following questions:]

Did your intervention help to change the behavior?

Was there a difference in its frequency or severity?

What data supports your assessment?

Instructions : These are examples and are formatted. Delete what you do not use and put your references in alphabetical order. Do not include references if you do not cite any in the body of your paper. Delete the reference page if you do not have any references. Delete these instructions before submission.

Rubric Instructions: Self-Assessment of Competencies

The idea behind rubrics is to assist you in critically analyzing your work and ability to meet competencies that are aligned to criteria on the rubrics. With self-assessment and reflection of the criteria on the rubric prior to submission, you will have a solid idea of your competency and quality of work. Regular use of self-assessment as a way to reflect will improve your writing and target assignments toward your instructor’s expectations.

You will use the same rubric that the instructor uses for each assignment. You will grade your own assignment using the rubric, as will your instructor. After submission, your instructor will compare the two rubrics. If they match, you will earn extra points. However, in the end, your instructor’s assessment will be the one that counts.

Process for Self-Assessment:

1. Think critically about your work before filling out the rubric. The rubrics must match to earn extra points. So, be honest in your appraisal of your work.

2. Use this assignment template and rubric. Upload to the appropriate assignment area.

3. Assess your assignment according to the rubric. Include comments that share how your assignment meets the level you chose along with evidence from your assignment. Boldface words, phrases, or parts in your assignment that you feel support your level choice and comments.

4. Refer to the boldface when you type your comments in the comments column. This becomes evidence of how you have demonstrated in your work the competency related to the chosen level.

5. Your instructor will assess using the same rubric; if the rubrics match, you will earn extra points.

This essay assignment is a primary source analysis on Legalizing Slavery in Colonial America.  Please refer to the Primary Sources found on your Learning Activities page.
Slavery in the United States was governed by an extensive body of law developed after the 1660s.  Virginia became the first colony to pass a comprehensive slave code in 1705, which served as the base of other slave codes in the Southern colonies and states before the Civil War.  In your essay on legalizing slavery, you are required to read the primary sources on the Learning Activities page.  The textbook and online materials provide helpful background information for the essay.
Your essay needs a brief introduction and critical analysis in comprehensive paragraphs with a minimum of 300 words.  It should be based on your primary source reading and it needs to demonstrate your analysis of the documents.  Three or more specific in-text source citations are needed.
Please consider the following questions when you write the essay:

  1. How did the slave codes make slavery a permanent condition?
  2. How did race play a role in enslaving Africans in colonial America?
  3. In what specific ways were the slaves defined as property?
  4. Why couldn’t slaves be a party to a contract including marriage?
  5. How did the slave codes regulate free blacks?
  6. How do you compare the South Carolina slave code of 1740 with the Virginia slave code of 1705?

What is a Theory

What is theory? Leave the question we had about theory.
https://tlc.trident.edu/d2l/img/lp/pixel.gif
The notion and term of theory are necessary components of any discipline that is scholarly or scientific. Theory can be described or defined as a statement of relations among concepts within a set of boundary assumptions and constraints (Bacharach,1989). However, theory as it applies to doctoral dissertations is viewed as concepts and principles that explain a certain phenomenon. This theory provides answers to the questions of “why” or “how” something occurs. In addition to the “why” or “how”, theory provides guidelines in the prediction of actions and/or behaviors. Theory in doctoral dissertation sets the foundation for describing the research project, and prepares the reader for what is to be expected. Weick (1995) noted most theories of organizational studies consist of approximations; therefore, theory can exist in many forms because it is a continuum.
Theory in doctoral studies should include theoretical framework, which is a broad theory based on explanation. Theory within a dissertation responds to the research problem, frames the summary of the research, and provides consequences of the research. Data presented in doctoral studies are not considered theory, diagrams are not theory, nor are standalone hypotheses (Weick, 1995). The process of theorizing consists of activities like abstracting, generalizing, relating, selecting, explaining, synthesizing, and idealizing (Weick,1995). These activities produce reference lists, data, variables, diagrams, and hypotheses, which serves as the backbone of summarizing (Weick,1995).
Doctoral studies can do theory verification or theory generation. Most of our dissertations in the Ph.D. program at Trident do theory verification, meaning that we start with a theory, deduce hypotheses from it, and design a study to test these hypotheses. Theory generation dissertations, on the other hand, aim to end up with a theory developed systematically from the data collected.
Please explain how you see the role of theory in dissertations and provide an example of a theory that you think is relevant to your area of research from this wiki:  http://is.theorizeit.org/wiki/Main_Page

Task 1:
Current-State Workflow Analysis
Introduction:
In this task, you will showcase your ability to diagram and analyze a current-state data workflow using standard diagramming techniques. To create your workflow analysis, you will need to access Microsoft Visio using the virtual lab within unit 1.7 of your course. You can also access this lab below with the “Unit 1.7 Virtual Lab: Access and VISIO 2016” link in the web link section below. For additional information on completing a workflow analysis, visit the “Workflow Analysis References” web link.
Scenario:
For this assessment, you will use system-generated time data that have been aggregated and presented as mean times for major steps in the workflow process. These mean times are specifically for patients triaged as ESI Level 3, meaning patients designated as “urgent stable.” For more information on emergency severity index (ESI) levels, please visit the “ESI Levels” link in the web links section.
Using the mean times from the “Workflow Observations on ESI Level 3 Patients” attachment, create a basic or cross-functional workflow diagram in Microsoft Visio and include an interpretation of the diagram in a caption or on a separate page.
A. Diagram a detailed flowchart of the mean times in the “Workflow Observations on ESI Level 3 Patients” attachment using standard flowchart symbols. Ensure your diagram meets the following criteria:
• Apply appropriate shapes for each workflow step.
• Connect shapes using dynamic or auto connectors.
• Label each connector with the number of patients and the mean time between steps (e.g., N = 5, M = 21.4 minutes).
• When the workflow shape indicates a decision, diagram the options and flow changes that this decision generates.
• If you use a cross-functional diagram, include ED worker type swim lanes to designate steps in the process performed by the ED worker.
B. Briefly explain each aspect of the flowchart for hospital administrators and other stakeholders in a caption or on a separate page.
1. Identify three of the weakest areas of flow (i.e., bottlenecks or inefficiencies) and explain how you would improve one of the weak areas reduce throughput time.
C. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
D. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
 

1. Discuss successes and challenges in completing the design and development of a DBMS.
