Interview the affected person and write a 3-5 page paper identifying your findings including:

• Identify the pathophysiology of the immune system disorder
• Discuss the treatment for the immune system disorder

In this activity, we will explore Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset. No one is perfect. In fact, everyone in this COUN 095 course has experienced some level of setback that brought you to this class. The question is… what is your current mindset because you are required to take this class? Do you view it as a failure or as an opportunity to learn and grow?

Assignment:

1. Watch the short 2-minute video on Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset (Links to an external site.).
2. After watching the video on Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset write a paragraph about your thoughts and feelings. Use this as an opportunity to learn more about yourself. Remember that your response is confidential so only I (Professor) will be reading your answers. Feel free to engage in deep self-reflection. Be sure to address the following in your paragraph:
   1. Write about one thing you have learned from the video, and be sure to discuss how you will apply it to your life moving forward.
   2. Write about one of your past failures. Then discuss the valuable life lesson you learned from the perceived failure you described.

Strategic Thinking by Simon Wootton; Terry Horne Boook

The Scenario: Imagine Philip Freneau, Harriet Jacobs, and Nathaniel Hawthorne have been transported magically to Plymouth Rock in 1692. What would they say to each other? About what would they agree? About what would they disagree?

Your Task: First, write a 400-500-word narrative that creatively portrays what Freneau, Jacobs, and Hawthorne would say to each other about the historical, cultural, and political events they find themselves surrounded by in 17th century New England. How would their observations of the era differ from each other? How might they be similar? In this section, do not spend any time on exposition: in other words, do not try to explain how they were able to transcend time and space to be together, and do not waste words on small talk.. Assume that the authors are familiar with each other’s work and viewpoints.

Second, write a 1,250-1,500-word paper that analyzes why these authors would interact in the way you describe in the narrative section.

Choose selections of each of the three author’s writings and interpret what their position might be on some aspect of the historical, cultural, and political events of the Puritan era in New England.

 

 

During this session, we looked at several topics on Strategic IT planning and strategy

We examined researchers, models, and issues in the area, and as you get closer to starting your own dissertation, you will need to choose a topic in your first dissertation class DSRT-736, so it is essential to start preparing.

This week, let us take a look at some topics to consider, and by the end of the week, we could have several ideas for dissertation topics.

Since you have already examined several research articles, another way would be to examine previous dissertations in these areas.

Visit the University of Cumberland’s library, go to the Dissertation Database, and locate an interesting topic on IT atrategy, or examine a model presented this term.

Here are some pointers that will help critically evaluate some viable topics.

Is the topic attainable for a first-time dissertation student?

Is the problem rooted in the literature?

Is the research empirical, i.e., is there a survey, is there an interview guide, has the data been analyzed via some statistical tool?

Is there a theoretical model or framework discussed?

Discuss the topic, the problem the model has been used in the research, and any present findings.
