Assignment specifications
Watch all five videos carefully for comprehension. Write a 3-page essay in two sections in which you respond to the following questions. An essay is not a numbered list of questions with brief responses. Use your own words, not lengthy quotes from Dr. Chew. The essay should have two major sections with as many paragraphs as needed
Section 1: Summary of the videos:
What is metacognition? Define it in your own words.
How does poor metacognition hurt academic success?
What are the critical differences between deep and shallow processing?
Describe the three functions of note taking.
Describe the appropriate procedures for highlighting.
Briefly discuss the guidelines for effective group study.
Identify several positive steps to take after you have blown an exam.
Section 2: Personal Inventory of Study Habits: (This is a personal reflection. Do not use the third person)
What study skills have you used up to this point? (Before this class)
Do you rely on rehearsal, organization or elaboration? Give an example. (Check Ch 7 lecture notes for clarification here.)
How satisfied are you with your current strategies?
Describe those that are least effective and those that are most effective. In other words, what is your level of “metacognitive awareness” right now?
How might you improve your skills having watched Dr. Chew’s video series?
How likely is it that you will implement these changes?

in 2015, Rosa started experiencing wheezing and difficulty breathing. Later that same year, Rosa visited a breathing specialist, Mr Khan, who diagnosed her with asthma and prescribed her a steroid inhaler to relieve the symptoms.
Two years later, Rosa’s condition continued to deteriorate until she attended a new specialist who informed her that she actually had a rare form of lung cancer. At this late stage, Rosa was told she had only a 10% chance of survival. It is accepted in the medical community that exposure to artium increases the chance of developing this particular cancer,
however, it is unknown whether the cancer develops as a result of cumulative exposure over long periods of time, or whether a single exposure is all that is needed. If Mr Khan had correctly diagnosed Rosa’s condition in 2015, her chances of survival would have been anywhere from 45% – 55%.

Assignment 3 MAKING FAMILY TREE FOR NUMBER 25.docx
Your Diet Analysis Report pages: SEE BELOW HOW TO SAVE AND PRINT THESE ALL AS ONE FILE. You will use the WIZARD which will include all 5 of these reports:
Your Profile information
Intake Compared to DRI report BASIC VIEW (NOT COMPLETE VIEW)
Macronutrient Distribution
My Plate
Food Journal Summary VIEW BY DAY OF WEEK (NOT DAILY VIEW)
1) Track 5 days of your Diet using the Food Journal. When completed, go to REPORTS.
2) Click on the calendar at least a day prior to beginning to track your diet on the left hand calendar and click either the day or one day after you tracked your intake.
3) Please use the WIZARD, instead of separate PDF files since this way is easier for you than printing the 5 separate reports since you set it up once, by checking the boxes as appropriate shown below with the view as chosen for Food Journal and Intake Compared to DRI. Open and save as an Adobe file (save to your computer). Here is what to choose from the Wizard window:
Questions 24 & 25:
24) Goals (12 points): Analysis of YOUR Diet Analysis Reports:
Based on YOUR iProfile reports:
Using the intake compared to DRI as your guide, list at least 3 overall changes could you make to improve YOUR dietary profile.
If under in numerous micro-nutrients (these are the vitamins and minerals), then lump as ONE improvement, otherwise you might put a few together as bone health (D and calcium) and/or how C and iron function together.
Many students will see their fiber values lower than normal, saturated fats potentially more than 10%, and perhaps carbs and/or fats out of alignment, for example. If you are low in fiber, wouldn’t it make sense to check out the grains category in the MyPlate? It might also be less than desirable, even though the iProfile does not yet make the distinction between whole and refined grains, you might know from your intake.
NUMBER 24 should include:
Explain each change, what this change will improve
What is the function of the nutrient(s) for which deficient?
How do your deficiency in intake results compare with your MyPlate food groups. Explain.
What potential and/or current health/disease state could you help prevent?
Include specific food substitutions, deletions and additions you could make (and for what reason). For example, “To increase my fiber intake, I could substitute oatmeal for scrambled eggs at breakfast. This change will help to …….”
Include physical activity report if you are including exercise as a goal and explain about the physical activity (MIEs and types of exercise, not just “to exercise”).*
*IF you choose to discuss exercise, you MUST submit a physical activity report otherwise I will not count anything you say about physical activity toward your points for this question. You must also explain about what Moderate Intensity Equivalents means and also how many minutes of your goal for physical activity you reached. This information is part of the physical activity report. In other words, you must analyze using your report and understanding of what the importance of physical exercise would be…What IS the importance of physical activity? In other words, what is it’s benefit to the body specifically? Exercise is not just done to “be healthy” since this is not a thorough answer at all for this class and you can find reasons within the text and power points (see Energy Metabolism). BUT you must include and discuss the report if discussing physical activity. You do not have to include physical activity at all, this is only for those who wish to discuss. Do not choose to discuss if you meet/exceed the recommendation for minutes of exercise per week.
IF you are not on target for many of the micronutrients, you should list these together with how they have to do with each other, instead of separately. In other words, do not list calcium and also list vitamin D since if you are under in both, they BOTH are very important to Bone health and you can discuss this. There are other vitamins and/or minerals also having commonalities as well. For example, Vitamin C absorption allows for the absorption of iron. See the second page of the WHO AM I Assignment #3 for examples of how these vitamins share functions with each other.
25) Directions for writing number 25: (10 points including a depiction of your family tree) or for those adopted/unknown genetics, vital statistics which surround you as well as environment – see directions – you need a graphic either way)
Two sections a and b (b includes uploading a picture/depiction/ppt slide or whatever shows your family tree or vital statistics:
a. In a paragraph (usually a length of at least 8-10 sentences), summarize the main strengths of performing your overall analysis, including 2-3 sentences to comment specifically on use of iProfile to track your diet. If you have ever used a different diet analysis program, how does iProfile compare? Make any comments specifically on the MyPlate graphic as well as what you thought of iProfile.
b. 1) In a longer paragraph or 12-15 sentences, discuss making your health history tree. Do you think you are at risk of developing a future disorder based on your findings? Which one(s)? Do you think a nutritional lifestyle change over the long-term would be warranted? Do you see a particular pattern in the way you eat when you think about what you found as your risks which are in your family tree, or the nutritionally-related reasons for death for those living in the United States? Explain.
b. 2) Lastly, comment on any additions or suggestions and/or omissions would you recommend be included in a future diet analysis.
HINT for 24:
To do #24 well, analyze the Intake Compared to DRI Report first to see how you fare in nutrient intake. Make correlations with your MyPlate and Macronutrient Distribution Range reports.
Example: if you are under in calcium and vitamin D, quite often this would make sense that you might be Under for Dairy. But what if you hate dairy, or are allergic or are vegan? You also can get calcium from broccoli, so even if you do not like milk, no one is forcing you to have foods you don’t like – so what else might you include if deficient in various nutrients?
Also, realize that, using broccoli as only an example again, that broccoli has more than one nutrient so it may double in helping improvement in an analysis. Using a reliable nutrition data web site (there are many: USDA nutrient information data, even nutritiondata.self.com, and others (search on the Internet)).
For example, broccoli has protein, fiber, iron, vitamin K, vitamin C, folate, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin),vitamin B6, vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), calcium, magnesium, choline, phosphorus, zinc, iron, vitamin A (in the form of beta carotene), manganese, potassium, copper, omega-3 fatty acids (in the form of alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA), and selenium.
This was just an example, but hopefully, you get the idea. This is a signature assignment for the course, so it uses everything we have learned. If you are Under in many micronutrients, do not just pick 3 micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) to improve upon and think that was enough – group the vitamins and minerals, for example, bone health improves with both vitamin D AND calcium, since without D, you cannot absorb calcium well. Without vitamin C, iron absorption is poor (unless you have a disorder of too much iron – then limit vitamin C).
I am a bit strict on this question since I want to see you making correlations using your Nutrient Intake and food group & calorie report.

It is incumbent on the researcher to clearly define the target population. Sometimes, the entire population is small enough to be included in the study. In other instances, the population is too large for the researcher to attempt to survey all of its members. Therefore, a small, but carefully chosen sample is used to represent the population. The sample is the actual group targeted either directly or indirectly and reflects the characteristics of the population from which it is drawn.
Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research, analyze, and select at least two articles on sampling methodology used in public health research studies.
Note: The articles should not be more than two years old.
Based on the articles identified, create a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document that includes the following:
A synopsis on the perspective of the sampling methodology used in your selected articles related to public health research studies.
Your opinion on whether the sampling method used in each of your chosen articles is appropriate for its target population. Justify your response.
An explanation of the potential advantages and disadvantages of the sampling plan used in your selected articles.

Field Observation and Inductive and Deductive Research Purpose: The purpose of this two-step exercise is for you to conduct inductive and deductive research using qualitative methods.
Field Observation and Inductive and Deductive Research
Note: it is important that you conduct the observations as two distinct events during this class; ‘recalling’ past observations is not the same as purposefully observing your surroundings from a sociological perspective, and applying two different types of reasoning to one observation will not be ‘truthful’ or successful.
Field Observation and Inductive and Deductive Research
The purpose of this exercise is for you to observe one social setting or social artifact to begin to detect patterns in human behavior – observance of norms and potentially behaviors that deviate from the norm. This week’s exercise includes two parts.
First, without any prep work, you will need to go to one public place (or conduct content analysis with your social artifact) and observe the people/artifact for 25 minutes.
Social Setting: Note people’s behavior, their demeanor, their reactions/interactions to/with each other.
Social artifact: from second to second (for TV), or page to page (for print), Note themes, sounds (i.. music), a texture of page (i.e. ads in a magazine), etc.
Second, you will develop a research design with research problem, hypothesis and operational definitions for variables; then you will conduct another 25 minutes of observations.
Field Observation and Inductive and Deductive Research Part 1
1) Choose whether or not you will be conducting non-participant observation in a social setting or content analysis of a social artifact
Social setting: this should be a public place such as a park, mall, restaurant, etc.
Social artifact: this may beads in a particular magazine; one television show, a time-block of commercials, etc.
2) For your inductive approach, you will simply choose a time and location/artifact for where you are going to conduct your observations
Social Setting: Go to the specified location and proceed with your observations.
You must be a keen social observer; a ‘peeping Tom’ in the sociological sense. Take handwritten (recommended) and/or mental notes of:
details about your chosen location (time of day, lighting, furniture, plants, sounds, temperature, smell, vibe/energy, etc)
the people around you, not only their behavior but general information about their sociodemographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender, SES, etc);
your thoughts and feelings while making observations
Social Artifact: At a specified time (i.e. when a particular show is), carefully observe your social artifact
Content analysis provides a sustained, systematic way to observe and measure the portrayal of that reality, as opposed to the quick, impressionistic way that we normally read consume media. Take handwritten notes of:
Details about the setting in the images you see (lighting, furniture, background, vibe/energy portrayed); if audio-visual (note sounds such as the pitch of voice, music, etc)
Note details about the people portrayed, not only their behavior but general information about their sociodemographic characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, gender, SES, sexuality);
4) When you have returned from you observation, type up your notes. Review your notes for patterns in behavior, socio-demographic characteristics, etc.
5) Write-up your observations using ‘thick description’ of the location (i.e. building you were in (what is the architecture like), descriptions of people there (in terms of socio-demographic characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status), sounds, smells, temperature, time of day and week, etc);
6) Analyze trends you identified in your observations/content analysis. What is a possible sociological/theoretical explanation for the trends you observed? This is best done by using peer-reviewed sources (journal articles no more than five years old) to provide credibility to your analyses. Include at least one.
Field Observation and Inductive and Deductive Research Part 2
7) Based on your initial observations and written analyses, develop a specific research problem/question to be further investigated (i.e. the variation in behavior of males versus females when entering a store with a glass storefront)
8) Identify the key variables you are going to be investigating, and develop an operational definition for each of them (this should include at least two variables, but not more than four). Your operational definitions will help to provide parameters for how to record variations in your observations.
9) Write a hypothesis for what you expect to observe in your second round of observations.
10) Repeat observations/content analysis
Social Setting – this should be done at the same social setting at approximately the same time of day (if you can do this one week later on the same day, it would be great!)
Social Artifact – this should be done at the same time (if commercial block), or with the same show, or with a different issue of the same magazine, etc.
11) When you have returned from your observation, type up your notes. Review your notes for patterns in behavior, socio-demographic characteristics, etc. and how they corresponded with your expectations/hypothesis
12) Describe observations using ‘thick description’ of the location (i.e. building you were in (what is the architecture like), descriptions of people there (in terms of socio-demographic characteristics: age, race/ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status), sounds, smells, temperature, time of day and week, etc.);
13) Analyze your observations in terms of how they supported/did not support your hypothesis.
14) What is a possible sociological/theoretical explanation for the trends you observed? This is best done by using peer-reviewed sources (journal articles no more than five years old) to provide credibility to your analyses. Include at least one.
15) Discuss the differences between your inductive observations and your deductive observations. How did the way you were observing change? How did what you observed change?
16) Briefly describe your thoughts/feelings in the two steps. Did you prefer one approach to the other? Why/why not?
