Old Testament & New Testament

 You will have the opportunity to identify connections between Old Testament and New Testament texts. Then you will have the chance to reflect on those connections. The assignment will be organized into two parts with required information below. Each section should be around 375 words each, with a total word count of about 750 words. APA Format.

Part I:

Articulating the Christian perception of the place of love within the Scriptures. In this section, you will be presenting, to the best of your ability, how Christianity would attempt to articulate ideas based upon your Scripture selections.

Identify and explain how one passage from the Old Testament and one passage from the New Testament are interrelated and conducive to discussing the Christian understanding of love. Note that the passages do not necessarily need to be talking about love overtly. They may be passages, for example, which themselves support the understanding of God’s love and loving activities.

Interdisciplinary Improvement Plan

 

Identify a second, underlying or related theme within your selected passages that is theologically connected to the theme of love that is found in the passages you selected for step 1. Explain how this theme is related to and supports the topic of love in the passages selected.

Identify and explain how Verbum Domini or Dei verbum contains elements which help to make sense of your presentation of the scripture passages. This section will require at least the use of two quotations with effort spent thoroughly explaining your choices. 

Part II

Formulate your own response to the integration you articulated in part 1. You may agree with it and add arguments or disagree with it and consider critical arguments. This second section will begin with a thesis statement in the form of either: “I agree…” or “I disagree…”

In this second part you will integrate your own understandings of God, yourself, and the world with the material in the course and specifically your selected passages. In this section, you will need to consider and explain at least one counterargument to your rationale. You must respond to the counterargument and explain your response. Use APA referencing style.

Interdisciplinary Improvement Plan

 For this assessment, you will create a 2-4 page plan proposal for an interprofessional team to collaborate and work toward driving improvements in the organizational issue you identified in the second assessment.

Professional Context:

This assessment will allow you to describe a plan proposal that includes an analysis of best practices of interprofessional collaboration, change theory, leadership strategies, and organizational resources with a financial budget that can be used to solve the problem identified through the interview you conducted in the prior assessment.

Instructions:

For this assessment, use the context of the organization where you conducted your interview to develop a viable plan for an interdisciplinary team to address the issue you identified. Define a specific patient or organizational outcome or objective based on the information gathered in your interview.

Interdisciplinary Improvement Plan

Multidisciplinary Team Assignment

The goal of this assessment is to clearly lay out the improvement objective for your planned interdisciplinary intervention of the issue you identified. Additionally, be sure to further build on the leadership, change, and collaboration research you completed in the previous assessment. Look for specific, real-world ways in which those strategies and best practices could be applied to encourage buy-in for the plan or facilitate the implementation of the plan for the best possible outcome.

Using the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template (ATTACHED) will help you stay organized and concise. As you complete each section of the template, make sure you apply APA format to in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that inform your plan, as well as the reference list at the end.

Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

Multidisciplinary Team Assignment

  • Describe an objective and predictions for an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to achieve a specific goal related to improving patient or organizational outcomes.
  • Explain a change theory and a leadership strategy, supported by relevant evidence, that is most likely to help an interdisciplinary team succeed in collaborating and implementing, or creating buy-in for, the project plan.
  • Explain the collaboration needed by an interdisciplinary team to improve the likelihood of achieving the plan’s objective. Include best practices of interdisciplinary collaboration from the literature.
  • Explain organizational resources, including a financial budget, needed for the plan to succeed and the impacts on those resources if the improvements described in the plan are not made.
  • Communicate the interdisciplinary plan, with writing that is clear, logically organized, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style.

Environmental Issue Essay

 Task 2: The Essay
Scientific writing can be quite different from other writing formats that you may have experienced in other non-science or social science classes. In this assignment, you are going to utilize the research on an environmental issue in scientific literature from Task 1 and synthesize that research into a mini-review essay (1200-1500 words).
Learning objectives:
 Effectively research the existing scientific literature
 Convey detailed information about an environmental topic to a non-expert
 Synthesize the current primary academic research and identify key information gaps

 Integrate at least 3 topics from this course (ex. Topic/ Environmental issue:
Elephant extinction. Topics: evolution, climate change, biodiversity, ecosystems of the world)

Environmental Issue Essay

 

Scientific Literacy Essay

Your essay should include but is not limited to:
1. Name of the environmental issue
2. Source/ cause of the issue
3. What is the cause of environmental change
4. How to minimize the issue/change
5. Future developments
6. A clear statement of which topics from this course you have integrated

Scientific Literacy Essay

Task 3: Response to Reviewer
Scientific literature is created through a process of peer-review, where colleagues and peers review work to suggest and make changes. One of the most important aspects of effective feedback is that it “feeds forward” on to further assignments. In this case, you will be using the feedback from your peers to update your essay.
In scientific literature, reviewers write a summary about their thoughts on the essay (“The reviewer’s comments”) and based on those comments you are asked to revise a rough draft of your essay before you submit it for grading.
You will have an opportunity to use the peer feedback given and update your essay before submitting it for grading. During this time you can expand the text of your essay to accommodate your updates and changes (for a maximum of 1500 words total). Importantly, this gives you an opportunity to reflect upon and respond to feedback
you’ve been given on your assignment and improve the final copy before you submit. Your Response to the Reviewer task will be graded on how well you give feedback using the feedback form, respond to the feedback, and update your rough draft. A feedback form will be provided as part of your reviewer task. Use APA referencing style.

  • Name of the environmental issue,

  • Source/ cause of the issue,

  • What is the cause of environmental change,

  • How to minimize the issue/change,

  • Future developments,

  • A clear statement of which topics from this course you have integrated,

Environmental Issue Bibliography

 This assignment consists of three tasks. Each writing task in this assignment connects together in succession to help you gradually build your scientific writing skills from initial research to final revision. Your main goal with these assignment tasks is to create a thorough and thoughtful review of a pressing environmental issue by using the most up-to-date/recent publications in scientific literature.

Your task for this assignment is to research an environmental issue of your choice. There are many issues that cause damage to the environment. The following list is a small selection of these issues. Some examples include:
 Global warming
 Climate change
 Increasing population
 Animal extinction
 Ozone layer depletion
 Deforestation
 Pollution (air/ water/ soil)
 Plastic garbage
 Drinking water and sanitation
 Issues affecting the food industry and agriculture

Environmental Issue Bibliography

 

Scientific Literacy and Communication

You may choose an environmental issue of your choice. You may also select an environmental issue that is not currently on this list. However, make sure that the issue you choose to research has sufficient recent publications before you proceed with your assignment. If you are unsure if the environmental issue you would like to research is
appropriate, please reach out to your instructor.

Task 1: Annotated Bibliography (5%)
The first step to completing a review on a topic is to conduct thorough background research. In an annotated bibliography, you are expected to give a short outline (150 – 200 words) of the identified paper/research. You must include a minimum of five (5) primary academic sources. Your summary should include at least one piece of
information that clearly shows how the article contributes to the point you are trying to make in your final paper (Note: no more than 250 words per source). During this task you will choose one Environmental issue to explore in greater depth. You will then develop an annotated bibliography containing five (5) primary academic
sources and a thesis or topic idea. You may choose to use the template provided or use one of your own formatting.
Your annotated bibliography must use APA 7th Edition and the appropriate uses of formatting and citing.

Scientific Literacy and Communication

What is an annotated bibliography?,
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to sources (books, articles, films, websites, etc.) that you’ve used when researching a topic. An annotated bibliography includes a summary and evaluation of each source usually between 150-200 words. These annotations are written in paragraph form and for the purposes of this class
should include the following information:
1. An explanation of the main purpose of the source,
2. A short summary of key findings or arguments of the source,
3. The academic/intellectual credentials of the source. Does it appear in peer-reviewed,
journals? Is the author someone who has expertise in the area?,
4. Are there any shortcomings or biases?,
5. The value of this work as a contribution to the topic you’re exploring.

Innovative Business Concept

 In developing a new business venture, the process begins with recognising an opportunity from a business problem and creating a business concept that articulates it. For the first steps, the entrepreneur (1) builds a concept to solve the business challenge; (2) presents a story that conveys the meaning of the new venture, and (3) and be able to explain the concept to potential customers, investors and partners. After testing the concept with stakeholders, the entrepreneur may go on to develop a complete business plan. To help you build these skills you will be required to undertake the entrepreneurial process of opportunity recognition and concept development. You will be asked to identify possible commercial opportunities for an innovation and then articulate the opportunities into a
100% NEW business concept. You will submit a 2,800 – 3,000 words business concept report that identifies and describes your innovative business idea. You must research and select one of the cities/ countries from the list for your targeted market: France, Sweden, Italy, Turkey, Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru, South Africa, Dubai, Japan, Malaysia,
Vietnam, Taiwan and Singapore.

Innovative Business Concept

 

Global Entrepreneurship & New Venture

Some of the issues that will help you in developing and evaluating your business idea are:
1. the problem or need and identification of the customers and market
2. the proposed solution and the uniqueness of the solution
3. why the customer will pay for the solution
4. feasibility, marketing, finance, and operational issues
Report:
In your business concept report you should:
• Identify the problem and recognise a business opportunity to solve it.
• Assess the business opportunity (undertake a feasibility analysis).
• Identify and explain the business model/strategy, based on the assessment of the
business opportunity.
References: Chapter 3 Creativity and Innovation, Chapter 4 Feasibility Analysis and
Chapter 5 Strategic Plan

Global Entrepreneurship & New Venture

Your business concept report may be structured around all three elements above or you can devise your own approach. See below for a suggested approach:
1. The business opportunity: The problem and solution (Identify the ‘problem’ and discuss the business opportunity that may address it, showing an understanding of the particular market and potential customers.)
2. Business opportunity assessment
(This is your feasibility analysis. In this section, assess the feasibility of the business idea in relation to the following: industry/market, product/service, and the organization and its management.)
3. Business model/strategy
(Based on your assessment of the business opportunity, explain the business model/strategy that you will use to realize the opportunity.)
Here are some questions to help GUIDE you in developing your business concept (and later when expanding it into a full business plan for the final group project in week 11).

Global Entrepreneurship & New Venture

• What are the key factors in determining if your idea is a viable business opportunity? Is this just an idea or a real business opportunity? Can the new product or service work?
• What contextual (economic, regulatory, industry) factors should you be aware of? What markets and market drivers should you focus on? What are the specific competitive advantages will the product or service offer? Who are the customers likely to be?
• Who would make up the team? In your opinion, what is the greatest risk? Why and how should this risk be mitigated? What resources you will need? Who is going to finance it?
• What would be the business strategy? Briefly describe your business strategy. What partners and alliances (important stakeholders) will you need in order to be successful in production, distribution, marketing, and overall? What distribution channels will be used?
Please note you must ensure that to correctly cite any information you use from other sources and provide a reference list at the end of your report. There is no requirement for minimum number of the sources that you should use but you should utilise correct referencing techniques and do not plagiarise (use the APA Intext Citations
and Referencing System). If you fail to provide appropriate referencing, students will be penalised.

Writing a literature review is a big undertaking. This paper is a full four pages, so do remember that you have to write quite a bit, but if you pick your topic well, this should be quite easy to do.

Youth Mental Health Barriers

 

Child & YouthCare – Literature Review

You should start by identifying an issue that you feel passionate about. Look at the topical outline for some ideas, the sky is the limit here folks!

I know this “pick your own adventure” can be stressful for people. So some ideas are included here *Please Note: I have attached Googled articles that you can all access but when completing this paper you MUST use literature, this means peer reviewed journal articles

  1. Human Trafficking in Indigenous Youth Populations in Ontario (idea article )
  2. The Emotional Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Youth in Canada (article )
  3. Transracial Care Systems and the impact on Black Youth (idea article )
  4. Links between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and Wellbeing Outcomes in Youth in Ontario (idea article )
  5. Education Crisis in Attawapiskat (article ) – so many themes you could pull out here, but I would just focus on this community not Indigenous communities broadly. So, you can do the Education issues (Shannens Dream  came out of this) you can also do the suicide crisis, water crisis, housing crisis (but obviously tie it back to youth).
  6. The School to Prison Pipeline in Canada (idea article)
  7. Impacts of Ableism on the Health and Wellbeing of Disabled Young People (article )
  8. Barriers to youth Accessing Mental Health Services/could also focus on Migrant Youth (article ) /or specify for Black Youth (article ) – could also discuss cultural stigma

You will need to read more than four articles so that you can find four to pick that are most relevant to your topic. If you want to use more than four you are welcome to.

Child & YouthCare – Literature Review

Your paper should work to explore the topic you’ve selected by presenting literature that you have found that relates to your issue. For example, if you selected homeless youth, you might want to research the barriers that impact females who identify as homeless such as education, health care, employment, addiction, mental health, etc. Let the research guide you! Ensure you have in-text citations and have followed APA throughout your paper. A paper without in text citations, a title page, or a reference page will not be accepted. You must complete the checklist for APA formatting before submitting this assignment.

The only rules for the topic selection of your assignment are:

A) It must be about children and youth

B) You cannot write about child abuse of any kind

C) Please include issues particular to Canada

  • Identify an issue that you feel passionate about,

  • Research regarding a children’s rights issue or advocacy issue,

  • Write four full pages, not exceeding six pages of content about your topic,

  • You will have at least four APA formatted references,

  • Your references will be peer reviewed journal articles from the last 10 years only,

Ecological Systems Chart

 For this assignment you will create a visual representation of you using a developmental-ecological systems approach.  By understanding the five systems in which we interact, you will increase your understanding of how these systems influence children, youth and families. The Ecological Systems Theory was introduced to you in your Child/Adolescent Development course and also in MH2 so much of this will be a review. Now this looks more difficult than it is and the good news is that it is not due for two weeks:) Due Week 7 (Feb 20, by 11:59 pm).

Ecological Systems Chart

 

So here is what you need to do….

  • Create an ecological systems chart (electronic) with you as the identified person at the centre of the microsystem.
  • Identify factors at each of the five levels of the ecosystem (Microsystem, Mesosystem, Exosystem, Macrosystem, Chronosystem) and label whether each factors exist as primarily risk (-) or protective (+) factors for you. Use a (-) risk or (+) protective, beside each factor that you state to indicate risk or protective. [Example:  Microsystem – Peers (+) You have identified peers as a protective (+) factor for you as your peers are supportive, caring etc]
  • Provide a written explanation for each system summarizing each issue you have identified and explaining why they are a risk or a protective factor for you. [Example:  Microsystem – “My peers are a protective factor for me as they…..”]
  • Software such as Prezi, PowerPoint etc can be used to create the visual representation of your ecosystem.

Developmental-Ecological Systems Chart

(I have also added an online block diagram in the “Reading and Resources” section that you might want to check out. You can sign up for free and you can take a screen shot of it or export it following the directions on the website:) You will need to add the Chronosystem to the diagram as it is not included.  You can do this by using the text box function and arrows.

Create a rough draft of your ecosystem and then put a – (risk) or + (protective) beside each item to indicate that it is a risk or protective factor.  For example, if you have a close relationship with your mother, this will be a protective factor.  High unemployment in your community could be a risk factor. Covid is a risk factor.

Developmental-Ecological Systems Chart

Now that you have completed your rough draft, decide how you will present this electronically.  If you choose a powerpoint or prezi, you can do your summary right in the software.  If you choose another median that does not allow for a text box, you will need to provide your summary on a word document. And that’s it… There are additional articles in the Readings and Resources section you should take a look at.  Have a great week. Remember this assignment is due in two weeks (Feb 20 by 11:59 pm) in the Week 5 Assignment Folder.  If you have any questions, you can bring them to the Zoom office hours on Wednesday at 2:30 pm:). Use APA referencing style.

  • What factors exist at each of the five levels of the ecosystem (Microsystem, Mesosystem, Exosystem, Macrosystem, Chronosystem) and label whether each factors exist as primarily risk (-) or protective (+) factors for you,

  • Provide a written explanation for each system summarizing each issue you have identified and explaining why they are a risk or a protective factor for you,

  • Create an ecological systems chart (electronic) with you as the identified person at the centre of the microsystem,

  • Decide how you will present this electronically and include your summary either in the software or as a separate document,

  • Include APA referencing style,
