Throughout this course we have focused on the sequential history of IDEIA from its beginnings as the Education for all Handicapped Children act through amendments, reauthorization and its current form. Court cases covered in this class have contributed to the refinement of this process. Also, Presidents have, through Executive Action, impacted the process of how these policies have been and continue to be implemented. For your Capstone Project assignment you will provide a comprehensive review of the progression of special education in light of these congressional statues, court cases and Presidential actions. Your review must address how special education has evolved and improved throughout this process.

Role of Cases – Education

You must include discussions of the following:

The Patriot Act & Islamophobia

By AssignmentHelp Blog

The Patriot Act & Islamophobia

Research Question: Did the Patriot Act contribute to the rise of Islamophobic culture in the US post 9/11?

PART 1: Literature Review (1200-1500 words) Write a literature review that describes and evaluates the most important scholarly answers to your research question. Though it will be integrated into the whole research design later, it should also make sense as a standalone essay. Thus, the literature review section has its own introduction, body, and conclusion. Consider these questions: How have important scholars answered my general research question? What are the most important schools of thought and who are identified with them? What is an appropriate label for this group of authors? Why? In conclusion, which school of thought seems to provide the best answer? Why? Properly document approximately 20 peer-reviewed scholarly sources, using APA-style citations and references. You must give credit to any author who helped you understand the general layout of the field, and you must read and cite the major scholars participating in the debate.

The Patriot Act & Islamophobia

In the body of your literature review, each paragraph will have several in-text citations. It is impossible to write a literature review free of plagiarism that lacks citations. This section is all about showing the reader that you know the major written works on the topic. However, keep in mind that this is your perspective on the literature. You should feel free to develop labels to identify major schools of thought and, if appropriate, take an unpopular position (as long as you can defend it.) Finally, be sure to conclude with what you believe is the strongest answer to the research question and convince the reader that you have made the best choice. ** I have uploaded Ch2 of Creswell’s textbook and the document provided by our professor with the outline of a literature review so please take a look into it.

The Patriot Act & Islamophobia

PART 2: Data collection and analysis plan This component of your research design includes a detailed description of the data you need to collect to answer your research question (e.g., attitudinal data or direct observations), how you propose to collect these data (e.g., survey instrument or participant-observation) and how you to plan to analyze and interpret them (e.g., statistical analysis or political ethnography). In writing the data analysis and collection section of the research design, consult Creswell’s templates for a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods study. APA.

Veterinary Computer Software

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Veterinary Computer Software

Goals Identify the various types of veterinary software programs that are available. Explain the use and benefits of veterinary software programs in practice. Report the pros and cons of different programs. Categorize and examine the features of various programs. Evaluate your research to determine which programs may provide the best service in a veterinary practice. Many veterinary clinics and hospitals rely heavily on computers for day-to-day operations. Computer software companies are constantly developing and upgrading programs for use in veterinary medicine. Imagine you’re the head veterinary technician working in a multidoctor veterinary practice. The practice owner is considering upgrading his or her outdated invoicing software and paper medical records, wanting to replace them with veterinary management software that can perform a wide variety of management functions. The practice owner wants each member of the veterinary team to gather information on two different brands of veterinary management software. Each team member will compile his or her information into a written report, which will be given to the practice owner and practice manager to help them make their decision. As the head technician, you’re given the first choice on which software brands to research. Select two different brands of veterinary management software.

Veterinary Computer Software

Research each software brand, paying attention to the items in the following list, then write a research paper that compares and contrasts the two software brands, including (but not limiting your writing to) the following information: Names of the two brands of software that you’ve chosen, and a brief description of each of them Information about the companies who make the software What are some benefits for a practice using a software program? List office features and functions, as well as pros and cons of each software package—what does each program do, or not do? How are technical support issues handled? How is loss of data prevented in each type of program? Is this a cloud- or server-based program? What hardware or software might be required? Is training provided? In what ways? Are laboratory and imaging results imported? Provide details on those that are compatible with the software program being discussed. Student thoroughly and accurately identifies and explains all topics or questions in maximum detail. Chose two brands of software Company information/history Benefits of using a software program Features and functions of software Technical support Data backup Cloud or server based, and hardware or software needed Training Lab and imaging results Compare and contrast the different software including pro/cons.

Urban Space Representation

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Urban Space Representation

Description

Plans for urban space are also representations of space. They draw on prior narratives and construct frameworks for understanding. Like advertisements they “sell” ideas. They embody points of view and direct attention. CHEERS (Cleveland Harbor Eastern Embayment Resilience Study) has developed a website to inform the public and to gather opinions about alternative approaches to the Cleveland waterfront. www.clevelandmetroparks.com/about/cleveland-metroparks-organization/planning/cleveland-harbor-eastern-embayment-resiliense-stud The public can view representations of three alternative approaches. 1) Connect with Nature, 2) Touch the Water, and 3) Play at the Shore. These are presented in short videos with oral descriptions and representations. Look at them all. Choose one.

Urban Space Representation

Write an analysis addressing the following points: 1) What kind of prior knowledge does the presentation assume the readers have. In other words, what are its strengths and weaknesses in terms of the intelligent lay reader who is a nearby resident but doesn’t have a planning or design background. 2) How effective is the presentation is directing readers’ attention? What elements would you improve? Are there any omissions that the intelligent lay reader would notice? 3) Now finally, who are the most likely users of the plan you have chosen to analyze? Assess it in terms of its potential to meet the goals of involving users in making and remaking spaces in which they have a place. Mention specific aspects. This should be 1000 words.

Healthcare Budget Proposal

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Healthcare Budget Proposal

Description

Health care organizations must meet basic clinical and financial targets to remain viable. The Affordable Care Act and the advent of accountable care organizations require increased attention to and skills for meeting internal organizational targets. Reimbursement from government payers is increasingly linked to the effective management of meeting expected performance measures. To do this, you must understand the concepts of internal and external benchmarks, the necessity for performance measurement, and how to determine appropriate targets relative to the type and size of the organization. It is helpful to ensure that when comparing organizational outcomes data, the external benchmark is comparable.

Effective management of health care requires competence in health care finance. Successful health care executives not only understand operating, capital, and revenue budgets, they also understand why each of these budgets is important to an organization and which groups of stakeholders need to remain apprised of the status. Preparation Use the Sample Operating Budget located in the Required Resources section to help you complete this assessment. The information represents the clinic’s operating budget for 2015 and 2016. You have been asked to prepare a budget proposal for 2017 for the group of physicians who own the clinic. Because you know the clinic needs new billing software and there is a request for a new MRI machine, you will need to factor these expenses into your proposal. You will also need to explain environmental forces that may affect the budget and how your proposal addresses those forces.

Healthcare Budget Proposal

Requirements

Complete the sample operating budget by filling in the 2017 column. Include this information as a table inserted into your budget proposal, or attach separately in the assessment submission area. In your proposal, be sure you do the following: Describe the environmental forces that will affect or are likely to affect the budget for the next year. (Consider things such as compliance changes, changes in how insurance claims are processed, changes in laws and regulations, and so on.) Complete a 2017 operating budget that includes the purchase of new billing software and a new MRI machine. (This is where you use the sample operating budget.)

Keep in mind that there will be costs beyond the purchase price, such as training for staff, the addition of more staff, and maintenance. You may want to refer to Assessment 3 and the cost-benefit analysis you completed. Explain how this proposed budget aligns with the target profit margin. Explain the measures you will implement to track financial performance over the next year. How will you evaluate financial performance? Additional Requirements Include a title page and reference page. Number of pages: 3-4 pages, not including the title page or reference page. At least two current scholarly or professional resources. APA format for in-text citations and references. Times New Roman font, 12 point. Double-spaced.
