This assignment provides you with an opportunity to define tools of the customer interface and to distinguish the different stages of developing a website by preparing a presentation. Treat this presentation as if you were bidding on a job, and this presentation is your opportunity to sell the tools you would include along with the process (the development stages) that you would follow. Include at least the following within the presentation

– seven tools of the customer interface (i.e., context, commerce, connection, communication, customization, community, and content);

– examples for each of the seven tools of the customer interface (images or screenshots);

-explanation of how your team would progress through each of the stages for developing a website (i.e., systems

-analysis/planning, systems design, building the system, testing, and implementation service delivery);

-examples of the tasks that would occur in each development stage;

– at least 12 slides.

Use your creativity to format the presentation; however, be sure it is professional and legible.

Research Review (Research Synthesis)

Systematic Research Review (Research Synthesis)

Papers will critically review a key social work/social welfare research literature. The central problem ought to be couched in the field’s most current and relevant historical-theoretical contexts. The goal of such a review is to clarify what is known (and unknown) within an area of social work/social welfare research and practice. Therefore, this paper serves as a model for integratively reviewing social work and interdisciplinary research throughout one’s career.

Criteria:

• Based on an original idea of potential clinical or policy importance;

• relevant to practice with potentially vulnerable, marginalized or oppressed people;

• critically reviews 5 to 10 related peer-reviewed studies (on a similar research question);

• results in a defensible decision, that is, you could envision using its conclusion to make an important agency-based decision;

• not more than 10 pages of text (double-spaced, 1-inch margins, APA format [not including title page, abstract, reference list and tables]);

• with an unstructured abstract of no more than 250 words;

• and a reference list of 10 to 20 peer-reviewed scholarly sources (all cited in the text).

Practical-Scholarly Objective

Throughout the course of our practice careers we often pose questions of clinical and policy importance. For example, when developing a new program to serve the needs of young women with anorexia one might wonder: What is the prevalence of anorexia among girls and young women between the ages of 13 and 25? Or in exploring the potential effectiveness of feminist practice methods with women who have been battered one might wonder: How relatively effective are feminist practice methods versus more traditional/standard methods such as cognitive-behavioral ones? This course’s research review project is designed to demonstrate that such questions are not posed in practical or scholarly vacuums. It is likely that many other practitioner-researchers have posed and endeavored to answer the same or similar questions. A good research literature review allows one to systematically and validly tap into the typical wealth of national to worldwide practical-scholarly experience on clinical or policy-relevant questions. The paper’s central goal then is to validly answer such questions—to clearly identify what is known, and oftentimes more importantly, what is not known about a given issue/problem/question in a given field of practice.

Problem to be Solved (and Secondary Objective)

The basic scholarly challenge is this: If one systematically searches and finds say 5 to 10 studies relevant to a given clinical or policy question, typically their outcomes will not neatly converge on the same tidy finding. In fact, more often than not study findings will vary widely, that is, there will be quite a bit of disagreement between all of the study authors. And without any systematic rational-empirical direction the research review process can quickly devolve into a merely political, ideology-driven self-affirming process. In other words, reviewers may cherry pick those studies that support their ideological/theoretical/methodological standpoints and take a ‘methodological tiger’ approach to studies that do not support their existing worldviews, if they even “find” any such divergent studies. There is a better way—to perform a systematic research review. A systematic review is essentially based on two pinnacles: (1) Social work and related relevant interdisciplinary research literature databases are exhaustively searched for all of the studies relevant to the research question (not merely those in support of a particular standpoint) and (2) These studies are then critically analyzed in a systematic and fair way in light of their key research methods. In the feminist-cognitive-behavioral problem noted above, for example, if the feminist reviewer were to critically focus on how small the cognitive-behavioral intervention study samples were, one would expect her/him to similarly analyze the feminist intervention samples.

In brief then, for this research methods course review paper, you are challenged to systematically and critically analyze and interpret the findings of 5 to 10 related studies in light of the research methods that produced them. Remember that this is a research methods course. A solid secondary objective of this project ought to be that you demonstrate your understanding of research methods.

Suggested Resources

• The lectures and readings associated with this course’s second and third sections on statistical/practical analysis and research synthesis ought to be helpful. As research findings are often couched in statistical language, one’s fluency in that language is necessarily related to one’s ability to validly interpret the findings of a single study and also to one’s ability to systematically compare and synthesize a number of study outcomes.

• Published research reviews may serve as stylistic and methodological guides. Perhaps include the keyword ‘review’ in a study search scheme broadly related to the field of practice most relevant to the research question you are posing (i.e., search Social Work Abstracts, Social Service Abstracts, PsychINFO, Sociological Abstracts, Medline and other relevant computerized research/study databases). Locate and read the exemplary research reviews you identify through these searches. Such reviews have various synonymous or closely related names: systematic review , scoping review, rapid review, integrative review, quantitative literature review, meta-analysis , methodological research review and so on.

· For an A+ paper: Don’t worry too much about the statistics. Previous students had an elegant systematic review had a number of strengths. (1) It was brief. (2) It focused on a straightforward comparison (short- vs. long-term intervention) of potentially great clinical and policy significance. (3) It focused on a professional debate/controversy (brief work supported by managed care providers vs. extended group work supported by clinicians [prevalent debate during that era]) so its critical review might resolve the debate or at least add something new to the discussion. (4) Its analysis of 7 studies was uncomplicated; considered the influence of one key rese

Autism Spectrum Disorder/Psychology

Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Epidemic The number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has risen dramatically during the past few decades. Researchers are now calling it an urgent health matter; some are even calling it an epidemic. Between 1991 and 1999, the number of children in the United States receiving special education services for autism spectrum disorder rose 500%. The rate has nearly doubled in the past ten years across the country. In 2002, the rate of children with autism spectrum disorder was 1 in every 150 children. Currently, approximately 1 in every 88 children has autism spectrum disorder. This increase is happening not only in the United States; studies have found rates to be rising in Canada and across Europe, as well. Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research the increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder. Then, respond to the following: •Identify and explain at least three possible causes for the increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder. •Analyze why so many children are developing autism spectrum disorder. ◦Do you think the numbers have increased due to improved methods of identifying and diagnosing children with autism spectrum disorder? Why or why not? ◦Are there some environmental, genetic, or cultural reasons for the increase? Explain your answer. •Recommend what we should do, as a society, to address this epidemic. Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources, including in-text citations and full references. Incorporate information from at least two academic sources to support your statements or ideas. Academic sources could include your textbook, required readings for this module, or academic journal articles found in the AU online library.

Developmental Disorders

You have learned that the conceptualization of autism spectrum disorders as diagnoses has evolved, with the current DSM conceptualizing one neurological disorder with common characteristics, which are presented on a wide continuum, rather than separate disorders such as Asperger’s disorder or autistic disorder.

Watch the video It’s a Different World . You may use the link provided or locate the video in the AUO library.

· Describe the symptoms or characteristics of autism spectrum disorder you saw illustrated in the video that you learned about in your readings.

· You have learned that autism is a spectrum disorder, with some children functioning at the lower end, requiring a lot of support, and others at the higher end, needing minimal support.

Describe strengths and challenges that were noted for the children in the video?

· Explain why it is important for a clinician to evaluate strengths and challenges in order to work with children, families, and educators.

· Drawing on your readings, the video, and any other peer-reviewed sources you find relevant, explain whether research supports separate disorders (e.g., Asperger’s disorder, autistic disorder) or one disorder with a continuum of severity.

Write a paper that is a minimum of 3 pages, not including a cover page and reference list. Format your paper using APA standards, to citation of sources, including in-text citations and full references. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

Mr .Assin

You are asked to attend a meeting between your firm’s new client, Mr. Assin, and the senior criminal practice attorney, Attorney Chatham. Mr. Assin was recently arrested and has retained the firm’s services to represent him. Attorney Chatham asks Mr. Assin to begin by detailing exactly what happened. Mr. Assin gave the following account:

I was sitting in a restaurant, and a woman walked over to me and sat down. She said her name was Sally. She asked if I was available, and she winked at me. I’ve been single for 2 years, so I answered yes, I was available, and I winked back. The waiter came, and she ordered a dry martini with three olives. I said I would have the same. Before the drinks came, she said she needed to visit the powder room, and when she got up to leave, she slid an envelope under my water glass. The next thing I knew, I was being arrested, and now I’m here. I’m telling you, I didn’t do anything wrong!
The police were following Sally, whom they previously identified as seeking to hire someone to murder her husband. She met an undercover police officer in an Internet chat room and offered him $5,000 to kill her husband. They arranged to meet at the restaurant for the exchange of money. Sally was supposed to meet the undercover police officer, whom she never saw before, at the restaurant and ask if he was available and wink. The undercover officer was supposed to say that yes, he was available and wink back at her. She would then order a dry martini with three olives, and the undercover officer would order the same thing. Sally did not know that she picked the wrong man at the restaurant, and instead of giving the money to the undercover officer, she gave the money to Mr. Assin.

You own a private investigation firm that specializes in conducting retained or court-appointed criminal investigations for criminal defense attorneys like the one who represents Mr. Assin. This is the first time that you have worked for this attorney, so you want to show him that you know the law and the criminal justice field. You assure Mr. Assin and the attorney that your information will be accurately assessed with the explanation of the events which occurred as outlined above. Your job is to conduct an independent criminal assessment of what happened to Mr. Assin, based upon the facts outlined above, and provide the attorney with your analysis of the case against Mr. Assin.

The attorney asks you to make sure that you address the following areas of concern and what other information that you feel pertains to the case in a document of 2–3 pages:

Explain the elements of murder, including what is required to convict someone of attempt to commit murder.
Explain whether Mr. Assin is guilty of attempted murder of Sally’s husband.
Explain why he has or has not committed the crime. You will want to discuss whether the defendant took any steps toward the completion of the act and the implications if he did or did not take those steps.
Robbery is classified as both a property crime and a crime of violence. How would Mr. Assin’s crime be classified? Mr. Assin was asked to kill someone for money. If he was guilty of this crime, then would it be classified as a property crime or a violent crime?
Define violent crime and property crime. Provide 1 example for each.
Based upon your opinion, reading assignments, and research, which type of crime is more serious? Are property crimes more serious than violent crimes? Explain and support your position.
