  • Concepts of teaching

    $7.00

    Topic 1

    Seasoned nurse educators possess wisdom about teaching (a kind of “with-it-ness”), which they have developed through practical experience over the years. As a person new to nursing education, you have a great deal to learn from a seasoned mentor. In order to gain access to that knowledge, you will conduct an interview with an experienced nurse educator either in a hospital or college setting. Your interview may be conducted face-to-face, online, or by telephone.

    For this assignment, you are to:

    • Generate a list of questions you will ask during the interview such as teaching strategies, theories, technology, and evaluation techniques.
    • Conduct the interview.
    • Your discussion post should include:
      • The setting.
      • How the interview was conducted.
      • The questions asked and the responses given.
      • Anything else you think to be important.

    Topic 2

    Thinking back toWeek 3when you discussed a topic you would like to teach to a friend or family member, create a formative and summative assessment for that hypothetical educational encounter. The instructional methods can be traditional or nontraditional. Explain how you can communicate the results of the evaluation to the learner.

    Using the terminology and key concepts of this course (to the extent you reasonably can),

    (1)In one sentence, state “the main point” (= the thesis, a proposition about how the world works) the is making,as you see it.

    (2)Very briefly, explain onstructed, as you see it. (For instance, how is it organized? What are thesourcesof the sfs the writer has composed?)

    (100 to 150 words ought to be enough for parts 1 and 2, combined.)

    (3)Here is the heart of the assignment: Make some interesting and useful connections between you’ve chosen and some other works that we’ve read in this course. Particularly, draw connections between what the have to say (to the reader) concerning teaching and/or learning.

    How many “other works”? No fewer than two, no more than four.Any  listed in the Course Description or handed out in class (includine writing by students) is a valid choice as an “other work.” See me if you need another copy of a handout.

    (4)Make some interesting and useful connections between you’ve chosen and some of your own experiences as a learner..

    Write for an audience of intelligent adults–college students and college graduates, say. Assume they havenotread the published essay you’ve selected.

    On November 25, I’ll ask you to tell me, in writing,  you will be focusing on.

    Key Advice:(a)Your paper should be full of very-specific sfs–about you are discussing, about your own experiences, about whatever. (b)Quotationis very important in writing of this sort. Quote from you are discussing to support the general claimsyouare making about the. Cite the page number(s) for each important quotation. Quote and cite the texts in our anthology (not some other edition). (c) Organize your paper andmake your pattern of organization easily seen by the reader.

    “C.P. Ellis” (handout plus Blackboard)

    Gatto, “Against School”

    the one I choose from the list is “the lesson” byToni Cade Bambara and for “other work” you can use “against school” by Gatto and “Learing to read” by Malcolm X.

  • Moral Philosophy Solutions

    $30.00

    Choose and answer

    Part 1: Analyze one (1) of the following case studies. Your answer should demonstrate sound moral reasoning and give evidence that you understand some of the various approaches to ethical decision making (25 points):

    1. The Bribe
    George simply isn’t paying attention. It has been a long drive back home from the family’s winter vacation, and he is on the Interstate coming through the downtown area of the city. His wife is with him up front. In the backseat are his young daughter and her younger brother, who is feeling sick and needs to get home. On the radio are the riveting final minutes of the playoff game with his favorite basketball team.

    So when the familiar blue lights begin flashing in his rearview mirror, George’s heart sinks. As he pulls over to the side of the highway, he knows he’s been speeding—partly to get his son home and partly with the excitement of the game. Because it is cold, the officer suggests he bring his papers and come sit in the front seat of the police cruiser, while the other officer in the car takes the backseat.

    They exchange papers and the arresting officer writes up the speeding ticket. And then begins a conversation George finds increasingly troubling. The officers tell him he will need to come down to the police station to settle this ticket. Unfortunately, the station is quite a ways away. What’s more, as it is Sunday evening, there are few people on duty, and processing the ticket could take several hours.

    If, however, George simply wants to pay the officers right then in cash, they would be happy to do the necessary paperwork when they get to the station, letting George go on his way with no delay.
    The more George listens, the more his blood begins to seethe. This is the United States, he reminds himself, not some backwater nation with a corrupt police force. Yet here he is, being asked (he felt sure) for a bribe. Yet there is his young son, feeling sick and increasingly desperate to get home to his own bed.

    What should George do?

    2. Quality time better spent?
    After graduating from college with a degree in science, Andy finds a solid job in his profession, married, and had two sons. Twelve years later, he moves to another company promising him steady advancement within its managerial ranks. A devoted family man, Andy admires his wife’s dedication to raising their boys. But he also observes that his sons, approaching their teen years, benefit greatly from his fatherly friendship and counsel-especially as they approach what he and his wife realize could prove to be a difficult transitional period in their upbringing. So he has made a commitment to spend plenty of time with them, playing baseball and helping with their schoolwork.
    But he also loves his work, and does well at it. And it has become apparent that to advance rapidly up the managerial ranks, he needs an MBA. A nearby university offers the degree in an evening-and-weekend program that would allow him to continue full-time employment, but it would soak up his free time for the next several years and throw most of the family activities into his wife’s hands.

    Where should Andy focus his attention?

In light of your argument, what, if anything, should be done to change the current practice in the United States?

    2- Morality at the Beginning of Human Life
    The ethical questions surrounding the beginning of life are many and vexing. What are some of the moral arguments for when human life should be protected? Which argument makes the most sense to you? Why? Provide counter-arguments to the other positions. How should the law treat the question of abortion and embryonic stem cell research? Should the law recognize exceptions such as “rape, incest and the life of the mother”? Why or why not? What is the best moral solution to the question of “discarded” frozen embryos?

    Part III – Answer two (2) of the following (25 points each):

    1. “Moral views cannot be proven true or false, therefore whatever you think is right is right for you.” Describe carefully what someone might mean by each part of this statement. In what sense, if any, do you agree with it? In what sense(s) do you disagree? How would you express a statement on “moral views”? Explain your answer.

What is “love”? What are some of the requirements for genuine friendship? Can children be friends with their parents or men with women according to Aristotle? Why or why not? Is Aristotle right?

    3. Explain Kant’s approach to the moral law. Demonstrate how Kantian ethics works by examining the question of suicide, the question of borrowing money in great need without intending to repay, the question of using one’s abilities and the question of giving alms to the poor. Critique Kant’s approach.

What are our responsibilities if the community we belong to is involved in immoral activity? What does it mean to actively participate in communal life? Are communities necessary for human flourishing? Can we “opt out” of all communities? To what communities should we belong?

    5. What is the role of law in a just society? What are “rights”? Where do they come from? How ought we to view them? What is the relationship between rights and duties? Do we have a moral duty to follow the positive law? Is there ever a case when one can legitimately ignore the law? Does an unjust law bind one in conscience? What are our moral responsibilities if a law or laws in our society are unjust? Can we ever legitimately follow an order that we know to be immoral?

    6. What is conscience? How is conscience formed? How does one inform one’s conscience? How does one make progress in the moral life? What is the meaning of the quotation: “life is about being and being more not having and having more”? What role does vocation play in the moral life? How do we order the various demands placed on our abilities, resources and time if we are to live fulfilling lives? How does one form “moral character”?

    7. Discuss the virtues associated with the proper understanding and use of wealth and honor. What are some of the natural virtue necessary for a person to be truly “great”?

  • Indeterminism and Human Choices: An Overview

    $15.00

    This essay, is a three-plus page argument essay.

    On Free Will:

    Argue for or against Indeterminism, which is the view that our choices, though certainly influenced, are nonetheless uncaused. In rational deliberation we are the uncaused causers of our choices.

    Sample arguments:

    Indeterminism is false because if it were true, it would violate the principle of universal causation. But there cannot be a violation of the principle of universal causation.

    Indeterminism is true because if it were false, I would not be a person. But I am a person.

    Indeterminism is false because God created the universe in all its details. My choices are some of the details of the universe.

    Indeterminism is true because if it were false, we would not be responsible. But in fact we are responsible.

    On individuality:

    We are not rational individuals because if we were, we would be able to identify the individual content of our thinking and acting. But in fact we cannot do that.

    We are rational individuals simply based on the fact that we arefree thinking and each of us is embodied separately.

    Also check the Metaethics attachment regarding the question of what is goodness? You can consider a theory like hedonism,for example, goodness is pleasure.

    Finally, attached a document on what I call the two virtues of social morality: Compromise and Obedience. You can write on whether or not either (don’t do both) is an unconditional virtue of social morality.
