Could you make sense out of it enough to brief someone with it?
When would you use the Gantt Chart?
Share your thoughts and give 3 examples please.
behavioral psychology
Purpose of Project
It is very easy to be around children without noticing fascinating aspects of their behavior. Indeed, it is rare when anyone intently observes a child for a continuous period, looking for behaviors that characterize an individual child or childhood. Conscientious fulfillment of this project will help the observer be a better and more appreciative student of child behavior. If you have children, you may observe your own children.
General Instructions
You will observe children in a natural setting for 1 hour. This means that you may not be able to focus on one child exclusively. For example, you might observe children at a park, school, shopping center, amusement park, etc.
While you are observing make detailed notes of the following:
1. Age range of children
2. Number of children present. Number of adults present?
3. What behaviors are children engaging in?
4. How do the children interact with one another?
5. How do the children interact with an adult who is present?
6. Are the children engaging in age‐appropriate activities?
7. Comment on the attention span of the children.
8. Are there any gender differences in any of the behaviors you observe?
9.Does anything that we have covered in class or in the text apply to this situation?
Report Criteria
1. Write up of project, 2‐4 written pages (typed)
2. Give a general description of child (age, sex, etc.) and the observation situation 3.Describe behavior or patterns of behaviors that were interesting to you and analyze the significance to child development
4.Do not just put a chronological list of what child did during observation period, but do show evidence that you make careful observation.
5.Discuss significance of behaviors for the child and child development in general (use your text and notes.
Empiric Versus Aesthetic Critical Appraisal
Week 4: Empiric Versus Aesthetic Critical Appraisal
List the elements of empiric and aesthetic critical appraisal tools. Discuss your chosen theory (Legacy of Florence Nightingale environment theory) in light of these two points of view – consider whether or not you believe it is important to appraise a theory from both perspectives and state why you think so. Be sure to integrate your understanding of Carper’s Ways of Knowing into this discussion. What new understandings do you have regarding implications of limited or expanded points of view?

M3 Assignment 1: Discussion Question
M3 Assignment 1: Discussion Question
Read the following case study:
Visit Dell and Apple’s Web sites and analyze the similarities and differences in how the two computer companies address the items listed below:
· Price / quality relationship
· Perceived quality / value
· Image
· Product differentiation
· Reducing consumer’s perceived risk. These will include time, money, functionality, and cognitive dissonance / post-purchase evaluation.
·
By 1/20/18 12PM (Noon) PST submit your response to the appropriate Discussion Area.
Organizational Structure
Refer to the video on Organizational Structure. All organizations need some type of structure to define team roles and responsibilities, also known as ‘subsystems’ (think of the individual departments in an organization, for example).
You are charged with forming a team to organize and implement a fundraiser for a family in need. Name 3-4 subsystems you would to need to create within the team (system)? Why did you select these?
In response to this case study scenario you must submit a 3 page paper (not including your cover page or reference page), double spaced and in APA style and format. Upload your response as a Word file.
For this submission no additional reference will be necessary, but those including one more authentic reference (FSW accessed peer reviewed journal, e-book, etc.) is likely to be to your advantage.
Bible essay
Please see below questions and use the following reference books:
Kushner, H. (2002). When all you’ve ever wanted isn’t enough: The search for a life that matters. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster.
Schwehn, M. R., & Bass, D. C. (Eds.). (2006). Leading lives that matter: What we should do and who we should be. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans.
A Bible: Seek a modern translation from the original languages as opposed to a translation of a translation.
1) Kushner writes, “I suspect that most people most of the time do not feel happy?” Do you think Kushner is right? Why or why not? Does this statement apply to you?
2) Having read the book of Ecclesiastes and now knowing there is a book like this in the Bible, do you think any differently about the Bible? Do you think any differently about the Christian religion?
3) How do you deal with pain in your life, be it physical, emotional, intellectual, or spiritual? Can you see healthier ways to deal with it?
4) Can a person ever be too educated or know too much?
5) In what ways do you belong to people?
6) What makes you feel fully human?

Q1. Polar coordinates. An ant is walking on a table. The ant is a bit lost, so it is wandering around aimlessly. With respect to some origin (see figure), the polar coordinates of the ant’s position is known to
be: r(t) = R(1 + cos(!t)) and ✓(t) = kt + b sin(!t), where R, k,! are constants, t is time in seconds. For numerical answers, you can use R = 0.2 m, ! = 0.1 Hz, k = 0.1 Hz, b = 0.1 and t = 9 s. a) Determine velocity v in polar coordinates. b) Determine acceleration a in polar coordinates. c) Represent unit vectors er and e✓ in terms of i and j. c) Represent velocity v in Cartesian coordinates. d) Determine acceleration a in Cartesian coordinates e) Determine velocity v in tangential-normal coordinates. i.e., in terms of et and en.
Q2. Running in a hail-storm. Little hail-stones1 are falling from the sky. They fall vertically downward, with speed 10 m/s relative to the ground. You are running fast to get away from the hail. Your velocity is
horizontal with magnitude 8 m/s, relative to the ground.
a) Using Cartesian coordinates shown in figure, represent the hail-stones’ velocity vhail and vperson as vectors. b) Compute the velocity of hail relative to you. Write as a vector.

Q3. Kinematics on a boat. You are on a big boat. The boat is accelerating horizontally at 1 m/s2
relative to water. The water is not moving relative to earth. You drop a ball at time t = 0. The ball accelerates down vertically relative to earth due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s2). a) What is the acceleration of the ball relative to the boat?
b) Say, the initial velocity of the ball relative to the boat is zero — starting at rest relative to the boat.
Determine vx(t) and vy(t) of ball relative to boat. c) Say initial velocity of boat is 5 m/s horizontal relative to the water. Determine vx(t) and vy(t) of ball relative to the water.

2 downward. Determine the acceleration of B.
b) The velocity of A is 2 m/s upward. Determine velocity of B.
Q5. Slipping ladder. Someone has propped a ladder onto a wall improperly. The ladder starts to slip against the ground. The horizontal velocity of point B is 1 m/s. What is the vertical (downward) velocity
of point A of the ladder, as it slips against the vertical wall? The length of the ladder is L = 5 m. Assume that angle ✓ = 60 degrees. The ladder is rigid, so that its length does not change. Hint: Use Pythagoras theorem and di↵erentiate the equation with respect to time.
