David the Defendant was charged with Sexual battery. His theory of defense was that someone else had sexually assaulted the victim and physically battered her outside the house. To support his defense he sought to offer evidence that the victim was a prostitute. The Government moved to prevent David from making a reference that the victim was a prostitute. The defense argued that the detective in David’s taped statement knew the victim was a prostitute. However, the detective testified before trial and admitted that he had no factual evidence that the victim was a prostitute. Additionally, David was prepared to testify regarding her prostitution activities. Florida’s rape shield law limits evidence of a sexual battery victim’s other sexual activity and reputation evidence of prior sexual conduct. That statute provides in pertinent part: (2) Specific instances of prior consensual sexual activity between the victim and any person other than the offender shall not be admitted into evidence in a prosecution under the sexual battery. However, such evidence may be admitted if it is first established to the court in a proceeding in camera that such evidence may prove that the defendant was not the source of the semen, pregnancy, injury, or disease…. (3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, reputation evidence relating to a victim’s prior sexual conduct … shall not be admitted into evidence in a prosecution under s. 794.011. When completing the assignment, in a 2-3 page paper, please answer the following questions (be sure to research these terms on the Internet [i.e. – in-camera hearing]): What are rape shield laws? Why have states enacted Raped Shield Laws? Before the Court determines if such testimony is allowed it must complete an “in-camera hearing.” What is an in-camera hearing? Should the Court allow the defendant to offer testimony of the victim’s sexual activity? Why or why not? Please explain.

The CIO has called you to her office. She has been hearing about data centers and is wondering if that is something our company should consider. (The server room is at max capacity so a decision needs to be made if we should add on to current space or build a dedicated building.) Growth of our company is expected to double in the next 5 years.
You are responsible for researching this topic and submitting a report to her as soon as possible. Some of the things your report should include are as follows:
1.What is a data center?
2.What kind of environmental factors should be considered? (size, cooling, heating, etc)
3.Is physical security an issue?
4.What is cloud computing and is that something that should be considered rather than building a data center?
5.Include 3 other things not already discussed that she should know about data centers. (give lots of details, not bullets)

This assignment explores the similarities and differences between the survey and the experimental methods of research as they are used in the field of biopsychology.

Objectives

Describe the survey method as it is used in psychology.

Describe the experimental method as it is used in psychology.

Describe the role of research participants in the field of psychology.

Examine the biological basis of behavior.

Instructions

Write a 2 page paper on the following:

Biopsychology is an expanding area within the field of psychology. Biopsychology helps us to understand how the brain and genetic components impact the various psychological issues humans can experience.

Compare the survey and experimental methods as they are used in the field of biopsychology, focus on age and gender. (Note these will be two separate pieces of research you will be using to write your paper.)
Use the internet, library resources, your textbook, and other resources to find information on the survey method and the experimental method of research. Look for the goals, methods, participants, and scenarios where each method is used. Document your findings. Key search terms may include: biological, genetic, predisposition.

Write a 2-page paper.
Based on the findings from Step 1, write a 2-page paper summarizing the research on age and gender through the survey and experimental method. At the end of your paper, create a small table comparing and contrasting the two methods.

Include in the summary:

The goal of the research

Method used for research

Participants of the study

Findings of the study

** For example: Student Suzie wants to research gender differences in alcoholism. She would complete a review of the literature using keywords/phrases such as Survey method used to determine gender differences in the behavior of alcoholics. For the second page of Suzies paper she will want to focus on the experimental method and age. She could use keywords or phrases such as Experimental methods used in the effects of alcohol on the brain by age of the participant.

Content of the term paper (or What should the paper be about?): For the term paper the student should write about a development project that has been initiated in any city in the global South in order to “improve” the city. The student is expected to write a critical /analytical essay on this development project. In other words, the final term paper should not simply be an empirical account of the student’s chosen development project. Rather the paper (in addition to providing empirical details about the development project such as when it was initiated, who initiated the project, the major stakeholders of the project, the objectives and outcome of the project, the target population of the development project) should attempt to analyze the development initiatives using theoretical insights and concepts learned in the class.

In order to write a good paper begin by reading broadly about your chosen urban development project, then, define an appropriate research question (this is critical), conduct effective focused research that will answer your research question and communicate results in good writing.

Length and structure of the final term paper proposal: 2 page outline that lists your chosen development project, a list of potential academic papers and reports that will used in the paper, identify concepts and/or theoretical insights from class that will used to critically evaluate the project. Argument/ thesis.

Use Course readings to identify and link concepts and insights to create a strong argument/thesis.
