  • Verbal Folklore: Exploring Examples and Applying Concepts

    Discussion Post 3: Verbal Folklore
    Purpose
    The purpose of this discussion is to develop an awareness of the verbal folklore around you. This discussion gives you the opportunity to identify folklore in your own life and to begin to apply the concepts and terms from our class to the study of your own folklore.
    Task
    In order to successfully complete this discussion, you will need to complete the following tasks using the criteria outlined below:
    After reading and watching this week’s materials, address the following question:
    Choose one example of an item of verbal folklore (either a riddle, a proverb, or a legend) that you are familiar with and explain why it fits the definition of that genre (for example, how do we know that your proverb is a proverb?) Do not just use the given definition with no further explanation (that is, do not write “This is a proverb because it is a traditional statement assumed to convey some ethical of philosophical truth,” tell us what truth it is thought to convey. What might you say about the cultural context? What characteristics of the genre does it show? Are there structural elements or specific functions that help categorize it?
    You may use the internet to locate an example, but make sure to name the site you use in your post.
    Respond to two peers.
    Criteria For Success

  • Title: Understanding Social Stratification and its Impact on Constituents

     we studied social stratification and how it influences what goes on in many social interactions among people. Imagine you are a sociologist who works for an elected official who has no background in sociology or a related field. You have been assigned the task of identifying an important example of social stratification that impacts the elected official’s constituency. After you have read the textbook and lectures assigned for this week, draft a 2-4 paragraph memo that accomplishes the following:
    1. Quotes the definition of social stratification from the textbook and/or lectures in correct APA citation
    2. identifies at least one example of social stratification in your communities.
    3. Identifies one of the sociological explanations of class inequality in the United States and explain why you think it is helpful in understanding the example you discussed in part 2. For example, you could discuss the classical perspectives of Marx and Weber, the symbolic interactionist perspective, the functionalist perspective, or the conflict perspective. 

  • “Analyzing the Impact and Success of a Quality Improvement Initiative for [Chosen Disease/Condition/Public Health Issue] in a Healthcare Setting”

    Imagine you have been asked to prepare and deliver an analysis of an existing QI initiative at your workplace. The QI initiative you choose to analyze should be related to a specific disease, condition, or public health issue of personal or professional interest to you. The purpose of the report is to assess whether the specific quality indicators point to improved patient safety, quality of care, cost and efficiency goals, and other desired metrics. Your target audience is nurses and other health professionals with specializations or interest in your chosen condition, disease, or public health issue.
    In your report, you will:
    Analyze a current QI initiative in a health care setting.
    Identify what prompted implementation of the QI initiative.
    Evaluate problems that arose during the initiative or problems that were not addressed.
    Evaluate the success of a current QI initiative through recognized benchmarks and outcome measures as required to meet national, state, or accreditation requirements.
    Identify the core performance measurements related to successful treatment or management of the condition.
    Evaluate the impact of the quality indicators on the health care facility.
    Incorporate interprofessional perspectives related to the success of actions used in the QI initiative as they relate to functionality and outcomes.
    Recommend additional indicators and protocols to improve and expand outcomes of a current quality initiative.
    Ensure your analysis conveys purpose, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly writing standards.
    Be sure to address all of the bullet points. You may also want to read the Quality Improvement Initiative Evaluation Scoring Guide to better understand the performance levels that relate to each grading criterion. Additionally, be sure to review the Guiding Questions: Quality Improvement Initiative Evaluation [DOCX] document for additional clarification about things to consider when creating your assessment.

  • Title: Exploring the States of Matter: A Hands-On Lesson for Elementary Students

    Part One: Lesson Plan
    A.  Using the attached “WGU 5E Lesson Plan Template,” create an original elementary-level (K–6) lesson plan that incorporates a hands-on scientific experiment, investigation, or lab activity and includes the following:
    •   one state (ILLINOIS) or national science standard, including the alphanumeric indicator code and the written standard
    •   one measurable learning objective that aligns with the standard and includes the following required components:
    –   condition
    –   behavior
    –   criterion
    •   instructional strategies and learning tasks that address the 5 Es and support scientific inquiry
    Part Two: Reflection
    B.  Explain your rationale for using the hands-on scientific experiment, investigation, or lab activity from the lesson plan in part A, including the following:
    1.  how it aligns with the learning objective
    2.  how it supports student engagement
    C.  Explain your rationale for using the summative assessment from the lesson plan in part A, including the following:

  • “Understanding the Effects of Friction Loss on Automatic Sprinkler Systems in Structure Fires”

    Chapter 5 discusses water supply for commercial sprinkler systems. Velocity is simply the speed at what water moves through the pipe. As water travels through the sprinkler pipe the pressure gradually decreases. The faster the water moves through a sprinkler pipe, the higher the friction loss. Industry standards have established 5 ft/s (1,5m/s) as an acceptable maximum velocity. Damaging surge pressures and rapidly increasing friction loss are two problems encountered when velocities exceed 5 feet per second (ft/s) – (1,5 m/s). To help determine what flow is safe to design with, there are pipe flow charts for various types of pipes in numerous sizes. Usually 1/2″ – 6″.
    What all this means is that it is critical to be aware of some of these basic principles when designing or changing aspects of your sprinkler system. The most common problem I encounter when working on an existing sprinkler system is that the designer and/or the installer has not used these design principles. As an example, the last system I worked on had a 3/4″ water meter feeding the system, the pipe size was 3/4″ PVC Schedule 40, and the water pressure was 75 psi. The installer had put 10 sprinkler heads on one circuit and the homeowners were unhappy with how the heads were working and the coverage the heads were providing. The problem here was the heads were trying to use 20 gallons per minute and the sprinkler system could only safely deliver around 12 gallons per minute. To solve this design problem often times is tricky and potentially expensive.
    How does friction loss affect automatic sprinkler systems as it pertains to structure fires?
