Professional educators must use assessment to measure student progress and adjust instruction to ensure both content mastery and language development. With this, they must also justify their evidence-based instructional decisions. In this assignment, you will continue to work on your unit by adding 2–3 pages of formative assessments and a rubric to measure student performance on a summative assessment. You will also develop an intervention activity for those who do not master an objective/outcome the first time.

Step 1              2-3 pages

BE5013 Module 4 Application: Thematic Unit Rubric v.2

Design your formative assessment plan by adding:

Three formative assessments that measure both content understanding and language development clear descriptions of how each assessment aligns with unit objectives language support and accommodations for different proficiency levels Step 2   2-3 pages Describe a culminating performance task for your unit. Develop a detailed rubric:

List the objectives/outcomes you will assess in the first column. Specify the performance levels. You may use numbers (for example, 1, 2, and 3) or words (for example, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced). In the boxes below each performance level, describe what students must be able to do to achieve that level of performance. If you have a class of students with a wide range of language proficiency levels, you may create a modified rubric to differentiate for lower and higher levels.

Step 3           2-3 pages Next, design an intervention for students who may not master an objective/outcome the first time as shown by their performance on formative assessments.

Describe the intervention. Describe how you will assess the effectiveness of the intervention.

Identify 2–3 weaknesses/areas of opportunity (e.g., speed of diagnostic reasoning) and action plans. If relevant, explain how this term’s hours (25+ points value) build on prior rotations (e.g., deeper multimorbidity management). Use professional, outcome-focused language.

 

Assignment Details This Signature Assignment in the nursing program is an essential evaluation component that focuses on demonstrating your achievement of the course and program objectives related to this course. It requires applying multiple domains/competencies from the AACN Essentials (e.g., knowledge for APRN practice, person-centered care, population health, scholarship) in a real or realistic nursing context.

You are expected to synthesize your clinical experience in this current course, including hands-on patient care, simulation, and reflective practice, with the goal of producing deliverables that will be included in your end-of-program portfolio in MSNG 680. You will demonstrate reflective thinking that integrates knowledge, application, and critical thinking in relation to the APRN profession.

This assignment aligns with and maps to the AACN Essentials domains, with the rubric clearly indicating performance expectations (often observable behaviors) that are consistent with the competencies and subcompetencies. and providing program-level data for continuous improvement.

You will collaborate with your preceptor to track and document your progress in meeting these objectives in Weeks 1–8, while linking your experiences to The Essentials. The goal of this clinical experience is to ensure you can demonstrate how you’ve individually met course and program objectives related to this clinical course. You will use your documentation in the clinical tracking system (CORE ELMS) to demonstrate achievement of objectives.

This complex care practicum experience will allow you to demonstrate the fulfillment of the course and program objectives in your specialization. You may use your existing documentation in the clinical tracking system to show the achievement of these objectives. Additionally, you must meet the following criteria:

Review the focused course objectives with your clinical preceptor on a weekly basis. Track and document your weekly clinical actions to demonstrate the fulfillment of course objectives. Document objectives that are measurable, dated, and clearly reflect course learning outcomes being addressed. Delete ALL protected health information.

 

Expectations You will work one-on-one with your preceptor to achieve clinical objectives as outlined in the course. The faculty’s role is to oversee this process, ensuring that you review and meet the objectives. You must adhere to all WCU and clinical site policies, including standardized procedures and protocols.

Purpose The purpose of this assignment is to help you demonstrate competency-based learning by aligning your clinical objectives with program outcomes, course learner outcomes, and AACN sub-competencies. This ensures that your clinical experiences intentionally support your professional growth and readiness for practice.

Describe an example of how cultural factors influence the health of an aggregate group within the community.

Posts are a minimum of 300 words, scholarly written, APA formatted , and a minimum of 3 references

In an effort to find solutions for the health care disparity in the nation, a community approach initiative has helped empower minority communities to identify and find solutions to their unique problems. Advanced practice nurses providing healthcare in the community setting are facing highly complex and culturally diverse issues. The only way culturally competent care can be provided is through partnerships within the community to help identify their specific health issues and help develop interventions that are culturally relevant. Health disparities have become more apparent as the U.S. population becomes more culturally diverse and are now a vital area of focus of health care practitioners and researchers (Andrews, Boyle, & Collins, 2020).

Learning objectives for the module: At the end of this module, the student will be able to:

Evaluate factors that influence the health of diverse groups within communities Evaluate concepts of community-based practice Explore community solutions to health disparities Readings:  Andrews, Boyle, & Collins (2020) Chapter 11 Articles: DeHaven, M. J., Gimpel, N. A., Gutierrez, D., Kitzman‐Carmichael, H., & Revens, K. (2020). Designing health care: A      community health science solution for reducing health disparities by integrating social determinants and the effects of      place. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 26(5), 1564-1572. https://doi.org/10.1111/jep.13366 Topic 1: Defining Community The term community is often defined as a group of people who live in the same area or a group of people who have common interests, religion, race, or ethnicity. But the definition of community is more complex than that. It’s about people, not a shared geographic location or an organization. The term or feeling of community comes from shared experiences or shared history. Geographic areas such as neighborhoods, schools, and places of worship are environments for communities. The main purpose of communities is to meet common needs. Most people identify in several communities at any given time, based on their nation, neighborhood, religion, race, ethnic background, politics, age, sex, sexual orientation, or other interests.  The members of each community must define and determine its parameters.

In order to provide competent health care and eliminate health care disparities, the APN must first identify the specific health care needs within each subgroup. Next, common resources that are available must be identified and community members should be encouraged to participate in the planning and implementation process. These resources may include business and industry, church groups, government, healthcare facilities, volunteer organizations, education, and human service providers.

Topic 2: Community Solutions to Health Care Disparities Through comprehensive community assessment and empowerment, a process that provides safe environments and an increased level of trust emerge. By overcoming mistrust, partnerships form by using the most effective tools for improving health in communities.

Strategies for reducing healthcare disparities in the community include:

Overcoming mistrust by creating community partnerships. Partnering with minority organizations helps to allay fears, dispel myths and encourage continued research. Community assessment and education increase the level of understanding in individual communities. Focus groups, discussions with minority groups, and community surveys are strategies used to assess the level of community understanding. Physician education and access to competent linguistic translators as well as cultural competence of all healthcare providers are vital. In a continued effort to eliminate health disparities in the U.S., the CDC developed the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health Program  (REACH).

This is a doctoral-level research assignment designed to test your ability to conduct effective research, gain a nuanced understanding of complex concepts, synthesize the ideas reflected in your research with those reflected in your required readings, and to evaluate and apply these ideas to an issue of urban planning.

As with all doctoral-level assignments, you are expected to comport yourself with the highest writing, research, and ethical standards. To do well on this assignment, you must conduct high-quality research and offer a rich, well-supported analysis; mere opinion or conjecture will not suffice. A doctoral level course requires description and analysis. While descriptions certainly are the precursor to analyses, they are not the analyses. Analysis is not just opinion statements or a list of what authors have said. Each idea needs elaboration and explanation and, if possible, supported by data and/or credible sources. The analysis should demonstrate the ability to integrate theories with applications.

You must avoid careless or simple grammatical errors such as misspellings, incomplete sentences, comma splices, faulty noun/verb agreement, etc. Such errors will result in substantial point deductions. No slang, idioms, jargon, colloquialisms, and everyday language. Your writing must be scholarly.

Plagiarism in any form, including self-plagiarism, is strictly prohibited and may result in failure of the assignment, failure of the course, and/or removal from the program. It is your responsibility to ensure that you understand fully what constitutes the various forms of plagiarism and to avoid all forms of plagiarism. Consult the LUO Honor Code.

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.

As a forensic psychology professional, it is imperative that you know what to look for when interviewing individuals with serious mental health issues, including co-occurring medical issues. These populations typically present with both deficits and disparities as compared with those who do not have mental health issues. Deficits include any mental, cognitive, or learning challenges that individuals with serious mental health issues may have. Disparities are any educational, socioeconomic, geographical, physical, economic, race, ethnicity, gender, or religious differences individuals with serious mental health issues may have. Learning about these deficits and disparities will enable you to understand them, identify them, and know what to do to help mitigate them. for this Discussion, paying special attention to the deficits and disparities psycholegal interviewers need to consider when interviewing someone with a serious mental health issue, including co-occurring medical issues. Identify the deficits (e.g., mental, cognitive, learning) psycholegal interviewers need to consider when interviewing someone with a serious mental health issue, including co-occurring medical issues and explain why they are important. Identify the disparities (e.g., educational, socioeconomic, geographical, physical, economic, race, ethnicity, gender, religion) psycholegal interviewers need to consider when interviewing someone with a serious mental health issue, including co-occurring medical issues and explain why they are important. Note: Your posts should be substantial (350 words minimum), supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources, and properly cited using APA Style. Personal anecdotes are acceptable as part of a meaningful post but cannot stand alone as the entire post

MSDA 628 Supply Chain Business Analytics

Module 1 Assignment

General requirement

• Make sure that each problem/sub-problem is on its own worksheet.
• Your Excel model must be executable. If your excel model is ran, it should generate the same results you submit. That means the spreadsheet has correct embedded formulae and Solver dialog boxes have all the inputs. If ‘Solve’ is clicked and your spreadsheet does not produce the reported results, a zero score will be assigned to that problem.
• Name the Excel file as “Homework 1_Last Name.xlsx”.
• Please contact the instructor if you have any questions regarding the assignment.

Problem 1

The Weinberger Electronics Corporation manufactures four highly technical products that it supplies to aerospace firms that hold NASA contracts. Each of the products must pass through the following departments before being shipped: wiring, drilling, assembly, and inspection. The time requirement in hours for each unit produced and its corresponding profit value are summarized in the following table:

	PRODUCT
DEPARTMENT	XJ201	XM897	TR29	BR788
Wiring	0.5	1.5	1.5	1.0
Drilling	0.3	1.0	2.0	3.0
Assembly	0.2	4.0	1.0	2.0
Inspection	0.5	1.0	0.5	0.5
Unit Profit ($)	9.0	12.0	10.0	8.0

The production available in each department each month and the minimum monthly production requirement to fulfill contracts are as follows:

DEPARTMENT	CAPACITY (HOURS)	PRODUCT	MINIMUM PRODUCTION LEVEL
Wiring	15,000	XJ201	150
Drilling	17,000	XM897	100
Assembly	26,000	TR29	300
Inspection	12,000	BR788	400

The production manager has the responsibility of specifying production levels for each product for the coming month. Use Excel spreadsheet to solve Weinberger’s profit-maximization problem using LP.

Problem 2

A sudden increase in the demand for smoke detectors has left Hanson Alarms with insufficient capacity to meet demand. The company has seen its monthly demand for electronic and battery-powered smoke detectors rise to 27,500 and 14,450, respectively. Tommy Hanson, the CEO of Hanson Alarms, has told his COO Julia Hanson that the company must always meet demand for its products. Hanson’s production process involves three departments: fabrication, assembly, and shipping. The data for production and prices is summarized below.

	Hours required to manufacture 1 unit
DEPARTMENT	Electronic powered	Battery powered	Monthly Hours Available
Fabrication	0.20	0.13	2,500
Assembly	0.25	0.22	4,470
Shipping	0.15	0.18	3,200
Variable cost/unit	$18.80	$16.00
Retail price	$32.50	$31.60

 

The company also has the option to obtain additional units from a subcontractor, The ChrisJones Company, who has offered to supply up to 25,000 units per month in any combination of electronic and battery-powered models, at a cost of $22.75 per unit. For this price, ChrisJones will assembly, test, and ship its models directly to the distributors without using Hanson’s production process. Use Excel spreadsheet to determine the optimal quantities to make and/or buy that will maximize profit.

(Hint: For making or buying a product, Unit profit = Unit retail price – Unit Cost)

You need to work on this dataset for your assignment, analyze the data, interpret the results and prepare a technical report of the findings. PG Research Methods for Health Sciences 1: 07HMNT015W SPSS Assignment: Data Analysis and Technical Report Writing – British dataset

1. Introduction to the assessment and learning outcomes This assessment for this module requires the analysis and interpretation of a dataset, using SPSS, and the preparation of a written report of the results and the analyses.

This assessment has the following learning outcomes:

To increase your understanding of statistical techniques

To build your confidence in using statistical software – SPSS

To gain skills in sourcing and retrieving health and epidemiological information

To help you acquire the skills necessary to write a technical report.

2. Background to the assessment Scope You will be provided with one dataset – Pinkland 1 – in SPSS format. The data is derived from the Health Survey for England. You need to work on this dataset for your assignment, analyze the data, interpret the results and prepare a technical report of the findings.

Context for your report

You are an expert in health working for the health authority in Bradlington, the largest city in the county of Eastfolk in the Northern European country of Pinkland. As part of the biennial national Health Survey in Pinkland, data were collected over a 2-month period to assess the health status of adults. No analysis of these data has been published yet. Your current job in the health authority is to report to the Chief Executive of Bradlington Health Authority on the findings from Eastfolk county.

The Chief Executive has had no training in health statistics. They have little time for reading, so your report must be very clear and written in a simple style. At the same time, they will be making decisions related to whether a new health programme or policy initiative is needed in Eastfolk. Thus, the report must give a complete and accurate picture of the situation.

3) Instructions Remember that for the purposes of writing your report, the data you will be provided in SPSS format are from the above fictitious country even though you know that in real life the data are from England.

While you may wish to discuss ideas with other students about how to analyze the data, it is essential that you write up your results individually. Working together on your written work is considered plagiarism and is an academic assessment offence. Serious penalties may be imposed on those found to have colluded in this way.

You must carefully consider which of the outputs from SPSS are necessary to include in the report. Do not cut and paste tables directly from the SPSS output files without editing out superfluous text and figures. Edit the charts to make them reader-friendly. Round p values to 3 decimal places and all the rest to 2 decimal places.

You can choose to analyze your data and present your findings in different ways – this is to be expected, there is no one single correct approach. It is for you to decide what the appropriate methods are for analyzing the data.

The criteria for passing this assessment are as follows (also see the Table below and the rubric uploaded onto blackboard):

appropriate analysis

appropriate means of presentation

the style of the report is polished, fluent, comprehensible, simple, concise, logical and systematic

the report provides a brief overview of a key policy area of interest to the Chief Executive of Bradlington to inform decision making

4. Process for data analysis and for reporting of the findings Descriptive statistics Summarise the demographic characteristics of the sample in terms of age, sex, ethnicity and marital status. You should treat age as a continuous variable.

Summarise the socio-economic variables relating to occupational and educational status.

Summarise the contextual variables, such as car ownership, family size and limiting longstanding illness.

Create a new continuous variable BMI from the values of weight and height. Then summarise the continuous data: BMI, weight and height.

Create a new categorical variable from BMI, in order to give prevalence rates of overweight and obesity, using the threshold values of 18.5, 25, 30 & 40 as follows:

18.5 – 24.99 normal

≥25.00 overweight

30.00 – 34.99 obese class 1

35.00 – 39.99 obese class 2

≥40.00 obese class 3

Remember, when appropriate, you will need to include measures of central tendency and spread (standard deviation or IQR) and to report confidence intervals.

Analytical statistics Investigate the association of BMI with age, sex, car ownership, educational status and socioeconomic status. For the analytical statistics use BMI and age as continuous variables and not as categorical variables.

5. Report writing and key references to be included Technical reports are briefing documents written by technical experts on specific topics for decision-makers (often civil servants, programme managers or administrators). They are commissioned to provide information on specific questions or issues and to provide a basis for decision-making and action. As such they should put forward all the relevant facts and set out the relevant issues.

The aim is to inform the reader sufficiently to enable them to understand the reasons for and implications of any decisions and subsequent actions that they take. Personal views should not bias the report. You should assume that the person you are writing for is intelligent and proficient, but busy, and also not an expert in relation to the issue in hand.

As a minimum, the report you are writing about your findings for the Chief Executive of Bradlington should provide estimates of the prevalence of overweight and obesity for the target group and identify the factors that contribute most to this. The scheme outlined in the table below specifies the marks available for each section.

Reports are expected to follow the following structure: Summary (20%) is essential because for many of the “audience”, the summary is the only section they read. It must contain clear and concise information with materials required to make decisions. It should highlight

the purpose of the research or what problem does it address;

the methodology so what was done to address the issue e.g. data collection;

the results, so key significant findings;

the conclusions, so what do the results mean and

the recommendations so what actions are advised based on the key findings.

Introduction (10%) should set out the health and epidemiological context for the findings which follow and clearly state the aims and objectives of your analyses. Refer to one or two key sources to explain why health surveys such as the one you are given are needed in general. Refer to the background document *National Centre for Health Research (2012) 2011 Health Survey of Pinkland – Summary of Methodology (Unpublished report) Nodnol: National Centre for Health Research to explain the context for this particular health survey. Also provide a brief situation report of the obesity/overweight health situation in Pinkland, based on true data from England in 2006/2008 and current. As a rough guide, a maximum of five sources should be used for this. Provide the full references to these sources in your reference list (ignore the fact that the country name is inconsistent with the country name in the background document). Use the most recent and reliable data/sources that you can to support current data for England.

You will need to consult this link to obtain the prevalence of overweight and obesity for the year 2006/2008:

*International Association for the Study of Obesity (2008): https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/statistics-on-obesity-physical-activity-and-diet/statistics-on-obesity-physical-activity-and-diet-england-2008

Methods of sampling and data collection (5%) – you will need to briefly summarise the background document outlining the methods of sampling and data collection and reference it as follows:

*National Centre for Health Research (2012) “2011 Health Survey of Pinkland” – Summary of Methodology (Unpublished report) Nodnol: National Centre for Health Research.

Methods of data analysis (10%) – you will need to describe all methods of data analysis you used for your analysis and reference the statistical software you used, and possibly a statistics textbook. You will also need to refer to key documents to justify the cut-off points used to define categories of BMI. We suggest:

*WHO (2000) Obesity, Preventing and Managing the Global Epidemic. WHO Technical Report Series 894. Geneva, WHO

Findings (30%) see section 3 & 4 Discussion/conclusion/recommendation (20%): This is the heart of the report, and it should be more than descriptive. This is where you are commenting on your findings in terms of their broader significance – what do they mean? You need to relate your findings to the wider scientific literature – for instance, do your findings confirm or refute the findings of others? Is there a significant association between overweight/obesity and any of the factors provided in the data? How can the prevalence of obesity and overweight be explained in light of your correlation test results? What additional factors should be considered to better control the prevalence of obesity/overweight?

Here you should refer back to the literature reviewed in your introduction and develop a narrative that clarifies how, by 2024/2025, our understanding of obesity/overweight has progressed compared to 2011. Identify the additional contributing factors highlighted in the more recent literature – those that were less understood in 2011. Finally, propose an interventional strategy you will recommend moving forward.

You will also need to compare your rates of overweight and obesity with those compiled by the following:

*International Association for the Study of Obesity (2008): https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/statistics-on-obesity-physical-activity-and-diet/statistics-on-obesity-physical-activity-and-diet-england-2008

or by

*WHO: http://www.who.int/gho/ncd/risk_factors/overweight_obesity/bmi_trends_adults/en/

In your conclusion you should synthesise the key points, stress why your research should matter to the reader. Ensure that your conclusion is justified by the evidence you present.

As part of your recommendation, you should provide a brief overview of a key policy area of interest to the Chief Executive of Bradlington to inform decision making.

6. Word count and submission guidelines Total word count = 1000 words (excluding tables, figures and references). You should submit an electronic copy of your report by 1pm on 11th December 2025 via Turnitin.

The text must be in font Calibri, 1.5 spacing with font size 12 in the text and no less than 11 in tables and figures. Margin size is your choice. Mark will be weighted using the scheme in table 1 above. Each section of the report will be given a mark using the rubric shown on blackboard. Then the weighted marks will be added to give a total mark for the assessment. All submissions will be marked anonymously so you do not show your names on your submissions, instead you will need to indicate in Turnitin submission title box the dataset you have analysed (e.g. Pinkland). If you have a reasonable adjustment form (e.g., marking guidelines for dyslexia), include your statement at the top of your first page. State your word count and do not exceed the total word count specified above.
