What is the purpose of this Assignment?
The objective of having you write this paper is twofold:
You will be reading and learning from a scholarly journal article relative to the course content. You will be writing about the journal article and will also be applying information you learned from reading your textbook, handouts, videos and writing your other papers.
As you read, think about this: We have been looking at the teacher’s role regarding inclusion. This article asks you to think about the principal’s role in inclusion.
Read The Following Article Available on Blackboard
Attitudes of Elementary School Principals Toward the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities Author: Cindy L. Praisner
Read all of the information below before proceeding.
Read the journal article listed above. Then, read all of the guidelines below to see what you must write about and then read the article again,- this time, taking some notes along the way or highlighting it if you choose to print it out. If you think it is difficult to read, you are correct. Will you understand every single thing written? Maybe not, however have your dictionary ready and you will be surprised at how much you will understand. This is college level reading of which you are capable of accomplishing. Take your time and look up words you may not understand. You may have to read it a third time. Then begin to organize your paper in the format below:
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR PAPER Label each section of your paper.
Title: PSY 2400 Research Paper /Attitudes of Elementary School Principals Toward the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities
INTRODUCTION
The first section on your research paper the introduction, should include the objective. In other words what is it specifically you are going to discuss? This also consists of paragraphs which clearly state the topic you are covering. It should also include the questions you are investigating and “the various points of view or differing explanations proposed in the journal article on which you are basing your paper.You may also want to mention something about inclusion from the textbook in this paragraph
RESEARCH SECTION: This is the central portion of your paper. This is where the scientific evidence is presented and discussed. Label it Research Section and then under that use the following sub labels
Scientific Evidence-
What did the researcher want to find out? What population was studied, where, how (methodology – how did the researcher gather information?)
What are the critical points made in the article? If there are different points of view in the article , what are they? What are the findings? You can add anything else you think might be important.
RELEVANCE OF FINDINGS Findings:
What is the relevance (importance) to students? What is the relevance to Education, teachers, administrators? What is the relevance to society as a whole? Other stakeholders??
OPINION:
Your opinion should be presented, however it MUST be supported in this section by the scientific evidence presented from your source(s) – the journal article, your textbook, handouts and videos- citations
You must use references/citations in this section to support your opinion. You should indicate if you agree or disagree with the findings in the article and why you agree or disagree with the author’s perspective. Are there some specific findings that you would like to see studied further? If so how and why should they be studied further? How do you think it should be studied – what method?
You may use your personal experience in this section also – be careful, if you do, you must support it with evidence.
Avoid phrases such as “I love” “I like” “It’s the greatest, the best, amazing” Do not use “kids” – use children, students, pupils.
To support your position /opinion you should also use material from your textbook and any of the readings, handouts, videos in the course (again, be sure to use citation(s). In other words, show what you learned from your readings, and videos to help to support your position/ opinion.
SUMMATION:
In this section you should bring your paper to a close by briefly (1 paragraph ) summarizing.
REFERENCES: The Journal article should be listed on a reference or Works Cited section which should appear at the end of your paper, as well as all other sources you used such as the journal article, textbook, handouts, videos if you choose to use those sources.DO NOT USE SOURCES OTHER THAN THOSE USED IN THIS COURSE AND THAT ARE ON BLACKBOARD. If there is no author or organization associated with a handout, just use the title of the handout- these should be your main sources. Of course the Journal Article would be the primary source along with the textbook should be where your citations are coming from. -

Touchstones are projects that illustrate your comprehension of the course material, help you refine skills, and demonstrate application of knowledge. You can work on a Touchstone anytime, but you must pass this unit’s assessments before you submit it. Once you’ve submitted a Touchstone, it will be graded and counted toward your final course score.
Touchstone 4: Final Java Project
ASSIGNMENT: For this Touchstone, you will learn how to effectively plan, design, develop, and test an original program of your choosing. This program is your choice and it can be as complex as you wish. The goal is to start with an idea for your program and then step through the process of most phases of the development lifecycle to turn your idea into an actual program. This includes planning out the algorithm using pseudocode, coding your program using everything you learned from Units 1-3, and finally, testing and debugging your program to make sure it fulfills your intended purpose. You will fill out a journal (template link below) which has five sections that correspond to the five steps you will complete for your final project. Use this template to write your journal responses for each section of the project. When you have finished, you will submit this journal as a Word .doc/docx.
Java Journal Template
The following Example Java Journal Submission will be helpful to you as you work on this assignment and shows acceptable submissions for each entry.
Example Java Journal Submission
Being able to create your own program can be beneficial in any career field. Anything that can be programmed or automated in any industry could make your work a lot easier. Even as a hobby, it can give you a reference point to have a better understanding of how to deal with common issues. Using basic Java to automate menial tasks can save you time and money! Whether you were in this class to learn programming at a professional level or if it’s just for fun, you will benefit from learning coding as a foundation of your technical skills.
In order to foster learning and growth, all work you submit must be newly written specifically for this course. Please note that you cannot use the same program used in a previous programming course. Any plagiarized or recycled work will result in a Plagiarism Detected alert. Review Touchstones: Academic Integrity Guidelines for more about plagiarism and the Plagiarism Detected alert.

Rough Draft: Nutritional Analysis and Dietary Recommendations for Improved Health
WEEK 6: Part D: Written Report, Rough Draft (10%)
Step 1: Using the information from Cronometer and Table 1, answer the following questions in paragraph form. There is no need to rewrite the questions.
Please write in complete sentences and answer the questions in paragraph form. Points will be deducted for poor grammar and spelling errors.
Add your citations to your Reference page in APA format, 7thedition for student papers. Make sure your in-text citations are also in APA format, 7th edition for student papers.
Save the Rough Draft of your Written Report as a “Microsoft Word” or pdf file and unload into Turnitin.
Question 1a.
Is your caloric intake appropriate for you? Discuss how your actual caloric intake compares to your recommended intake. How does your current caloric intake affect your body weight, your energy level, and your overall health. What is your body mass index and how do you interpret this ratio for yourself?
Question 1b.
Using the information from Table 1, identify the nutrients you consumed that were 300% of the DRI/RDA)? To answer this, go to PubMed.gov and find one study for each nutrient that discusses the consequences of a deficiency. You should have a minimum of two citations here. Add all your citations to the end of your paper in APA format, 7th edition for student papers.
If your diet is adequate in every way and there is no room for improvement, then the two nutrients you will use to answer this question are vitamin D and Potassium.
Question 2.
Based on your responses to the previous questions, identify three dietary changes that you could make to improve your health. (NOTE: exercise, which is beneficial to your health, is NOT a dietary change!). Describe how you would accomplish these changes in terms of specific foods you would include or eliminate from your diet. Discuss why these changes may benefit your health or help prevent disease. For example, a diet low in iron might cause anemia, which leads to weakness and fatigue. Therefore, consuming foods high in iron such as lean red meat might be a good way to get more iron in your diet. Vegetarians or people who eat meat occasionally can improve their iron status by eating non-meat iron foods with citrus juice to improve iron absorption. (Minimum 300 words for question 2). -
