Describe a situation or element of your first, second, third, or forth project that failed or went wrong. Then, tell me how you fixed or recover from the failure.
2) Pick one of your projects and describe this: If you had one more chance to make a revision to that project, what would you revise? Think beyond “I’d make the grammar and spelling better.” Think big. See big.

Pick ONE of these prompt options below, based on Tufte’s PowerPoint articles, and write a paragraph-length response (150 words or so):
1) In your experience at work or in class, is PPT mostly “Phluff” as Tufte says? That is, do most PPT slides and presentations replace analytical content with design/buttons/branding, etc.?
2) Tufte says that in PPT, actual informative and analytical narrative becomes distrupted into disjointed slides and fragments, that PPT “abbreviate(s) the truth to make words fit.” Do you agree? Why or why not?
3) Tufte says that ultimately, “bullet outlines can make us stupid,” and that “what counts are power and pitches, not truth and evidence” in PPT presentations. How so? Can you explain why this is?
4) An element of this article resonates with me as a writer and teacher: one of the most important points which I hope to teach you is that real analysis and understanding happen in the details and data of your writing. According to Tufte (and your experience), how does PPT deal with each of these very important features of communication in writing?
5) One specific point that Tufte makes is that within NASA’s organization, the format in which technical reports are given (especially PPT) obscures meaning and intensity of emotion/idea/thought. Think of other communication formats you know (texting? the five-paragraph essay, email…) and consider how that format does with presentation/information–does that format risk meaning and intensity being lost, or is it a good way to present information for meaning? Why?
A note: PPT, Tufte says, is based in vagueness of language (passive sentences, undefined words, unclear fragments)–this is true, and this (vagueness) is the #1 problem to revise out of your writing in any situation

Function and Form
Writing Assignment # 3
For this writing assignment, we ask you first to read chapters 5 and 6 (Pp. 143-210) in Smith, K (Ed.) 2012. Introducing Architectural Theory and chapters 5 and 6 (pp. 123- 165) in Wiseman, C. 2014. Writing Architecture.
Following the readings, we ask you to address the following questions:
1. What is the relationship between form and function in architecture today? How are new uses, technologies, and materials changing the relationship between them?
2. What is the relationship between form and function over the lifespan of an architectural work? I.e., how does renovation, adaptive reuse, etc. affect how buildings are both designed initially and transformed later
Recruitment and Selection.
Developmental Psychological.
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the Gatto and Tak (2008), Gentzler, et. al. (2011), Kirkorian, et. al. (2008), Marston, et. al. (2013), Napier (2014), Strasburger, et. al. (2010), and Thomée, et. al. (2011) required articles for the week.
In this discussion, you will describe the positive and negative influences of technology on human development within two periods across the lifespan. Choose two developmental periods of interest from the list below.
•Infancy and toddlerhood (0-3 years)
•Childhood (3-13 years)
•Adolescence (13-18 years)
•Young Adulthood (18-40 years)
•Middle-Late Adulthood (40+ years)
For your initial post, evaluate the unique scholarly perspectives presented in the required articles on your chosen developmental periods and describe the way(s) in which technology has either positively or negatively influenced physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial development within the two developmental periods. Support your perspective(s) with references from the required peer-reviewed resources. Choose a theme of education, gender, socioeconomic status, culture, or family/parenting within your chosen developmental periods. Research at least one peer-reviewed article which demonstrates how your chosen theme may mediate the effect(s) of technology within your chosen developmental periods. Apply the developmental research from the articles t
Prior to completing this discussion, read the Berzonsky (2004) article and the American Psychological Association’s (2014) Tips for Acting Boldly to Change Diet and Exercise for Kids online resource, the Kersh, et. al. (2011), Moolgavkar, et. al. (2012), Peters, et. al. (2013), and Weed and McKeown (2003) peer-reviewed articles, and the Smoke Zone (2014) popular news article required for this week. Review the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2013), Cohen-Mansfield (2012), Ogden, et. al., (2012), Mathur, et. al. (2014), and Taber, et. al. (2012) articles to get a sense of the trends and outlooks within the areas covered in this discussion.
Public policy is often used to positively regulate behaviors that are deemed detrimental to our health and, therefore, affect our development across the lifespan. However, it is sometimes debated that public policy intrudes on an aspect of our development known as autonomy as outlined in Erikson’s Developmental Stages.
In your initial post, evaluate the unique perspectives regarding autonomy (or personal responsibility) and public policy presented in the required resources. Compare the peer-reviewed findings to the popular article findings and address the main advantages and disadvantages of each perspective as presented. Review trends related to smoking and nutrition from the past decade(s) as presented in the Cohen-Mansfield (2012), Ogden, et. al., (2012), Mathur, et. al. (2014), and Taber, et. al. (2012) articles, paying special attention to those related to children and adolescents. Describe some of the policies that have been enacted to counter the issues arising from second-hand smoke on children and adolescents. Suggest and describe public policies that might be enacted to counter the negative aspects of poor nutrition in these same groups.
Using the APA’s Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct, analyze ethical considerations in developmental psychology related to the creation and/or implementation of public policy regarding nutrition for children and adolescents.
Is the creation of public policy necessary in this area?
Based on the professional standards, is the creation of such policies ethical?
Describe how these types of policies are effective.
In what ways do these policies enhance and/or hinder physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial development for the affected person?
Are there equally effective self-imposed restrictions that might be used instead?
How would you implement your suggested policy, and how would you plan to test the efficacy of the policy versus self-imposed restrictions?
Use evidence from the resources to support your statements.
part II Changing the Course of Psychological Development
Prior to completing this discussion, read the required material from the Shaffer (2011) text as well as the Berzonsky (2004), Fiese (2013), and Burkitt (2010) articles.
Read the PSY605: Mila Singer Life Story document. Choose one aspect of Mila’s life to alter. This element can be an event, a personal characteristic, an environmental factor, or an aspect of the timeline. In your initial post, identify the original life story element you intend to change and explain how you intend to change it. Use Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development to explain Mila’s stage of development at the time this change takes place and address how the change affects Mila’s psychological development.
After identifying the initial change and describing it, create a list of three additional outcomes in Mila’s development across the lifespan that will likely be affected by this change. For each, identify the current outcome in Mila’s life story and propose a rationale for changing this outcome. Apply either Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory or Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory to Mila’s life to create a hypothesis as to how and why these outcomes would likely adjust due to the changes you have made.
Briefly summarize your personal reaction(s) to making the initial change and how it altered the subsequent outcomes
Prior to completing this assignment, review the guidelines for the Program Proposal assignment in Week Six of this course and review the Program Proposal Track and Topics in Developmental Psychology document. You may also review the Federal Program Inventory for ideas.
For this assignment, you will identify and describe the foundational components for your proposal based on the information requested in the “Beginning the Program Proposal Process” section of the Program Proposal assignment.
Choose an area of interest. This area of interest will include a general track and define a specific issue within the track that is of interest to you and presents a contemporary problem to be solved. See the Program Proposal Tracks and Topics in Developmental Psychology document to view the tracks (Community, Clinical/Counseling, and Education) and suggested issues within each track for the proposal. Once the track and issue have been chosen, write a one-paragraph summary of the specific track and issue to be addressed in the proposal.
Identify the target population. Regardless of the track and issue chosen, a target population must be identified for the proposal. Identify the target population associated with the chosen issue. Within the target population, choose the developmental stage that will act as the focus (sample) for the proposal. Many programs may directly and/or indirectly influence people in different stages; however, it is important to select the stage that is most applicable to the specific program being proposed. For example, in a program for adults who are caring for their elderly parents, the focus is on the adults (likely in middle adulthood) so a middle adulthood focus would be most appropriate for that program. Provide a one-paragraph rationale for the target population identified.
Identify the geographic location where the program will be deployed. Programming will be directly influenced by the location in which it will take place. For example, a child safety program in a rural farming community will likely have different objectives and needs than a child safety program in a large metropolitan city. Once the geographic location has been chosen, provide a one-paragraph rationale for that location.
Create a brief annotated bibliography. Research a minimum of five peer-reviewed articles on the chosen issue in the Ashford University Library and include citations for all articles in APA format as outline in the Ashford Writing Center. All sources utilized must have been published within the last 10 years. Provide a brief annotation for each cited article to address the relevance of the articles to your topic and how they will be used the proposal. Within the annotation evaluate the unique scholarly perspectives and research in the field of developmental psychology presented within the article and analyze any ethical considerations presented in the article that would impact the deployment of your program.
