Read the following scenario describing a research project, and then write a short criticism of this project. You should clearly identify at least four aspects of the project which you believe are incorrect or poor. These may relate to the research question, the experimental design, the analysis and reporting, and/or any ethical or academic misconduct issues. For each criticism which you identify, clearly describe the problem and state how it should have been addressed to improve the quality of the research.

A company providing on-line teaching software claims that students who are on-line
students achieve better results on learning programming languages than on campus students. The company has developed a hypothesis based on this claim. The company chose one university to conduct research to test this hypothesis. It applied for research ethics clearance and at the same time included both on-line and on campus students to participate in this experiment.
At the end of semester, all students undertook the same test on programming languages. The company used final scores of all students to test its hypothesis. The company has published a report in which it concludes “the average score of 67 for on-line students is higher than the average score of 65.5 for on campus students, and so we can conclude that on-line students achieve better results in learning programming languages than on campus students. Therefore, this teaching method should be used for all students in future.”

True or False: (PE = Physical Education)
1. A degree in Physical Education was historically viewed from a "generalist" perspective
2. Because of the nature of “physical education activities,” the physical educator isn’t concerned with standards of health and moral and ethical development of students.
3. The impulsive developmental aspect can determine attributes such as character and moral values
4. The advent of "specialization" is not a consequence of the growing knowledge in the academic discipline of physical education and the need of qualified professionals in a specific field
5. Leadership can be considered the key to meeting PE objectives
6. Each person’s experiences determine their truth about the meaning of physical education
7. Physical Education objectives are chosen only on the needs of the individual
8. The "quality" of any developmental area and subsequent adjustment is influenced by a predetermined standard
9. In physical education only neuromuscular and organic adjustment are considered as specific objectives
10. Adjustment can be considered essential in order to live.
11. Standards should be evident in all aspects of development and adjustment
12. Bio-mechanics and Sport history are not considered sub-discipline of physical education
13. Learning and acquiring skill in a variety of movement forms is not essential in neuromuscular development.
14. When referring to the objective of leadership in physical education it can be a process that determines the type of results
15. Standards are based upon the conceptions of the individual and/or profession

1. Proponents of globalization like neoliberalists argue their approach to economic development can best lift countries out of poverty. Advocates of alternative theories and approaches like Bejing’s approach to economic development purported by Dambisa Moyo OR sustainable development are critical of neoliberalism. Define ONE alternative approach to economic development and explain ONE way it improves upon neoliberalism. Here, choose Bejing’s approach to economic development purported by Dambisa Moyo in her TED talk, Is China the New Idol for Emerging Economies? (Module 5) OR sustainable development (Module 6). For example, why does Dambisa Moyo think that Bejing’s approach to development is more appealing to poor countries than that of the United States? OR, why do proponents of sustainable development argue it is a superior approach to sustainable and equitable development than neoliberalism? Use specific empirical evidence and examples to demonstrate why the alternative approach is better.

Answer the below questions using 200-250 words each;

DQ1: College stress
Determine your main stressors as a college student? Could you relate to any of the situations in the text? Explain which ones are most problematic for you and list some interventions that may assist you through this time in your life.

DQ2: Occupational stress

These don’t need to be answered in 1-2-3 order. Use the following questions as a guide for your answer. They are the springboard for discussion and the topics should be addressed in your answer. Be sure to support your opinions and suggestions. That is what academic discussion is all about!:

Do you have burnout or brownout? Is it due to your type of occupation or gender? Would you classify your personality as a ‘workaholic”? Looking at the Occupational Stress Model, identify your source(s) of stress, your individual characteristics and any symptoms you may suffer. If you suffer from burnout/brownout, please explain how you will improve your work situation to make it less stressful.

If you are not currently experiencing either burnout or brownout, what strategies can you put in place now to prevent this in the future? If you are not yet in your career, research the probability that your future career may be a stressful one and report your findings. Be sure to cite your source.
