SH4010QA Diversity in Health and Social Care SH4010QA Diversity In HSC Assignment Brief Name of assessment: Reflective Commentary

Short description: A 2000-word reflective commentary of a case-study simulation that took place in the seminar.

Weighting: 60%

Due date: 29/06/26 before 3pm

Formative feedback date: 25/05/26

Feedback release date: 4 weeks after the final submission date

Assessment Guidance You are required to write a 2000-word reflective commentary of a case-study simulation that took place in the seminar. A case study is a description of a real-life issue or situation that requires you to reflect on and analyse the main issues involved. The aim is to identify the issues and discuss them from your own point of view by relating these issues to academic literature on the topic, draw conclusions about why the issues occurred, and consider how best to respond to them.

A case study simulation is an opportunity to apply (use) theoretical knowledge from academic literature, as well as your own reflections, to real-life situations you may come across in health and social care professional contexts.

Writing a reflective commentary of a case study simulation enables you to:

Reflect on the details and complexities of issues in real-life situations. Apply (use) the knowledge gained from your academic reading of topics covered in the lectures and seminars. Discuss your experience of the case study simulation and draw conclusions for a professional response to it. Step 1: Before You Start Writing Your Reflective Commentary, You Need To: a)  Choose ONE Case study simulation to work on (** these will be presented in the Seminars)

b) identify and make a note of the main issues and challenges the case study presents.

c) identify and make a note of the main stakeholders (individuals, professionals, and/or groups who might have an interest in the case)

d) Go through your lecture and seminar notes, and your reflective journal, and identify the theories, concepts and academic literature you have covered and read about (or you will need to read about) on topics that relate to the main issues you have identified in the case study.

e) Read through the theories, concepts and academic literature to make sure you properly understand them and make notes of how you will use them to reflect on your experience of and discuss the main issues identified in the case study simulation.

Step 2: Writing Your Reflective Commentary Your reflective commentary should include all of the following 4 elements: introduction, description, reflective discussion and conclusion.

The suggested word count for each section below is only a suggestion; you can have more or less of the suggested word count for any of the sections, so long as the whole is up to 2000 words.

Introduction (150 – 200 words): begin by defining the main purpose of the case study simulation and briefly outline the overall problem in the case study that needs to be solved.

Description (200- 250 words): write a brief description of the case study by giving a summary of the main issues, challenges identified and the main stakeholders. Assume the reader knows nothing of the assessment task and provide enough information to give a context for your reflections and discussion.

Reflective discussion (1200 – 1400): discuss the main issues identified using information gained from your academic reading, and discuss your own reflections on your experience of the case study simulation.

Conclusion (250–350 words): summarise the conclusions you have come to and present recommendations for resolving the case (for each recommendation, you should also go further to provide a reason why you suggest each recommendation).

Reference List This is a reference list of all the academic and non-academic literature you have used in the reflective commentary.

A reference list is not a bibliography. A bibliography is a list of all you have read and all you have used. But the reference list is only a list of all you have used and cited in this work.

Use the Harvard Referencing Style to arrange your reference list.

• You are expected to reference readings studied on the module in your coursework.

Upload your coursework to the submission link by the due date of May 11 2026 by 3pm. in a Word file, as instructed.

SCM 610 – Supply Chain Collaboration

Assignment – Supply Chain Mapping

Learning Outcome

This assignment is designed to practice the tool of supply chain mapping and provide a first-hand experience with the complexity of supply chains.

Directions

Identify your FAVORITE PRODUCT – then using your personal knowledge and open-source media, create a supply chain map for that product.

The focus is on identifying inter-firm relations, visualizing the network complexity, and then determining the need to manage, monitor, or not monitor various links within the supply chain.

See Figure 11-1 in the textbook for a basic example of a supply chain map for a Manufacturer, Figure 11-2 for a Retailer, and Figure 11-3 for a Raw Material Supplier.

Your map will need to be more complex than these figures but must meet the requirements below.

Grading Criteria

Part A: Requirements for Map

1. Draw the map to fit on one page (8.5″ × 11″) with legible text.

• May be hand-drawn.
• Map must contain at least one raw material supplier (“dirt”) and at least one post-consumer customer (“dirt”).
• Align suppliers and customers into labeled tiers.

2. Clearly identify the focal firm by name and the product/product-line being analyzed.

3. Be sure to identify key suppliers/customers by name (others can have hypothetical names).

4. Highlight managed, monitored, and not-monitored links (using different line styles to differentiate).

5. Include non-members and their appropriate links (clearly differentiate them from members).

---

Part B: Requirements for Evaluation

1. Limited to one page (APA format not required).

2. Summarize the focal firm and product/product-line studied.

3. Briefly identify three issues of concern as seen on this supply chain map.

4. Recommend one potential improvement for each issue identified in #3.

This week you will build on the simple logistic regression analysis did last week. You will use the same two variables (one independent variable and one dependent variable) you used in your SPSS analysis last week and add a second independent variable to the analysis. How has your statistical significance and odds ratio changed by the introduction of the second independent variable?
Use the one independent variable and one dependent variable you used to conduct your simple logistic regression analysis in Week 4.
Add a second independent variable to your analysis (multiple logistic regression).
Remember that your dependent variable must be dichotomous/binary.
Think about how you might use the odds ratio in your analysis to simplify the interpretation of your results.
How has your statistical significance and odds ratio changed by the introduction of the second independent variable?
Use SPSS to answer the research question you constructed. Write an analysis in APA format, including title page, references, and an appendix, that includes your data output and addresses each of the tasks listed above. The content should be 2–3 pages, including setup of the assignment and a discussion of whether the predictive relationship is statistically significant as well as the odds ratio and what it means. Your SPSS output should be included as an appendix.

Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the General Social Survey Dataset, report the mean of Age. If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES. See page 1032 in your Warner textbook for an excellent APA-compliant write-up of a binary logistic regression analysis.

Step 2: Create the Power Point with a minimum of 10 content slides (as stated above). Place key points on the slides (maximum 5 lines, maximum 8 words each line). Each slide should contain speaker notes with in-text citations. Slides should be professional in appearance and feature picture and/or graphics as needed (must place citation under images unless Stock image—you do not need a reference for image citations). Provide recorded audio for each slide. Audio should be clean without interruptions or background noise.

Step 3: When you have completed the assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place. Create a word document and copy and paste the speaker notes into the document to submit at the same time as the presentation (for plagiarism checker). The group leader will submit a copy of the Power Point and the word document to Canvas.
