Use subtitles for different disciplines and fields of inquiry from the literature you are drawing from?. Remember to speak about interdisciplinarity. A. Looking for future research to come up with a straightforward research question and sub-questions, B. What is the research question? Statement of the problem and contextualization of the research. What is the rationale, and why is this important. Mention interdisciplinarity. Subquestion? Important to describe the increased demand for outdoor space because of the pandemic and the ability to stay local while connecting to carrying capacity. 2. Explanation of the epistemological approach and theories; Remember this theory is just an ideal picture of something, that we can compare reality against. Keep in mind interdisciplinarity. 3. Description of the methodology and methods; in this case: case studies, (Phenomenology) interviews park users and stakeholders. Describe your sample or samples (approximately 20). Who to interview. The third methodology will be autoethnography. 4. Discuss potential knowledge mobilization and research impact; what do you expect to find and why is it important? How might it contribute academically and practically? 5. The paper must be interdisciplinary from the field of social sciences. I am looking at tourism, business, leadership, environmental sciences, A. Sub-topics include looking at the carrying capacity on Provincial Parks (critical to connect this to the pandemic) B. Examine the best practices of other countries with catastrophic events such as western USA (California) and Australia). C. This paper will provide a timeline of the natural catastrophes in British Columbia in 2021. Such as fire, mudslides, smoke, heatwave, avalanches, flooding, etc. British Columbia lost two towns to fire and several areas were impacted by flooding. Two major highways were washed away. etc. The paper must focus on British Columbia Canada, however, you can examine the park system at the Federal, Provincial and Municipal levels as part of the literature review. If you need a specific context, provincial parks would be the BEST. If you can come up with a clever title, along the lines such as the Perfect Storm for Catastrophe in British Columbia

Assignment # 3 (One page Completion)

Client Case Hypotheticals ~

The client case hypotheticals will be client cases that will offer the students information about a potential client. This will allow for the student to utilize critical thinking skills where they can evaluate how they would handle the case as a future human service provider. This paper should be completed on a word document, title page, 1-2 pages, 12 font, times new roman- submitted to canvas.

Instructions: In the following situation, develop a tentative plan for the client where you list the various services you believe each person needs…i.e. individual counseling, group counseling, family counseling, support groups, etc. Suggest other services the person might need later once the case is stabilized. Think about what other course of action you would take as a case manager.

 

WEEK #4 Client Case Hypothetical: A woman comes in complaining of depression. She says it started when her husband left with a younger woman, and she has not been “right since.” She reports having difficulty falling asleep and complains of no appetite. She says she has missed more than 3 weeks of work since he left last month. There are no children, but she tells you she has neglected the dog and cannot remember if she fed him last night or not.

conduct and analyze an interview with a person who has experienced a serious illness.

Interview Assignment – 24% of course grade

 

To improve the quality of medical services, it is critically important that health care professionals take into account the culture, language, health beliefs, and environmental differences found in patients. As you are learning throughout this class, cultural competence is very important in helping health care professionals effectively treat their patients. Medical anthropology can assist in the understanding of the ways in which people of diverse cultures and belief systems perceive health and illness and respond to various symptoms, diseases, and treatments. The explanatory model of illness is one way to give healthcare professionals knowledge of the beliefs the patient holds about their illness, the meanings they attach to their illness, and their expectations about the treatment of their illness. The goal of the explanatory model is to compare the patient’s perceptions of their illness with the health care provider’s in order to help identify major discrepancies that may cause problems in managing the illness.

 

For your interview project due this week you will conduct and analyze an interview with a person who has experienced a serious illness. This illness can be acute or chronic. Examples include but are not limited to cancer, multiple sclerosis, depression, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), lupus, fibromyalgia, and congestive heart failure. You will interview this person using the eight questions proposed by Arthur Kleinman regarding the explanatory model of illness. These questions are:

 

1) What do you think has caused your illness?

 

2) Why do you think it started when it did?

 

3) What do you think your illness does inside your body?

 

4) How severe is your illness? Will it have a short or long course?

 

5) What kind of treatment did you think you should receive?

 

6) What are the most important results you hoped to receive from this treatment?

 

7) What are the chief problems your illness has caused you?

 

8) What do you fear most about your illness/treatment?

 

Once you have collected the answers to these questions, you should analyze the responses in the context of the course learning using the references you listed in the week 3 assignment or other sources as needed.

 

You should open the paper with a discussion of the interview itself. You should not provide the actual questions and answers, but a detailed summary of the interview. In other words, using the responses to the eight questions, discuss in detail how your interviewee explained their experience of their illness. You should use direct quotes to give voice to their experiences, and to validate your claims on their experiences.

 

The next section of the paper should be your own analysis of the interview using the learning materials and other sources. Think about the reasons your interviewee explained their experiences the way they did. Was it due to cultural beliefs, social inequalities, stigma, or other factors that we are learning about in class? Make sure to connect their explanations of their illness to the medical anthropology literature.

 

You should conclude your paper with your own thoughts about the interview and the explanatory model. Just as the healthcare professional uses the explanatory model to determine discrepancies in their perception of illness and the patient’s perception, how did you your perception of their illness compare with theirs? Did they tell you anything surprising or unexpected about how they feel about their illness? Why do you feel that discrepancies in perceptions occurred? Finally, what are your thoughts on the usefulness of the explanatory model? How can it contribute to cultural competency in the healthcare system?

 

Writing Guidelines

 

The final paper should be 4-6 pages in length, double-spaced with 12-point font, not including tables or the reference list.

 

The final paper should include a title page, an introduction, a thesis statement, a body, a conclusion, and a reference list.

 

Readability

 

Your paper should use correct grammar, effective topic sentences and transitions, an organized and clear flow, limited use of quotations, and synthesis of information using your own words. It should incorporate references.

 

Citation and Reference Style

 

Your paper should be written in APA style (7th edition).

 

This assignment will use Turnitin to check for academic integrity. Please review the Turnitin information in your syllabus for more details.

 

Describe two incidents in The Castle where you think the principles of the Rule of law are not being upheld and/or are under threat of being compromised and explain which principles they are and why you chose them.

Assessment 4 The Castle Explanatory Notes General information A knowledge of Australian suburban life and humour provides a framework for the story but is not essential to understanding the film. Instead, the legal information you have learned this semester needs to be applied to construct meaning and understand the film. Please note the characters and all the events are entirely fictional, including the news presentation. Characters The Kerrigans: Dale (Narrator) Darryl, Sal, Steve, Tracey and Wayne Others: Dennis Denuto, Lawrence Hammill, Federal Court Judge, Farouk, Jack, Ron Graham, Jack, Evonne, John Clifton, Chairman, Council Officer, Sergeant Kennedy, Heavy at the door, Barlow Representatives, High Court Judges, High Court lawyers. Some terms explained: Trading Post = Gumtree or Facebook marketplace. Municipal Offices = Local Council Referencing Some answers may require footnoting of sources and a Bibliography needs to be included. Footnoting and Bibliography do not form part of the word count. Word Count Answers 1 – 12 – Students are required to divide up the word count appropriately. Some of the answers only require a case citation, while others may require a 50 to 70 word response. Please be guided by mark allocation and a lot of common sense! Longer Answers 13-15. It is expected that due to each of the following answers being worth 4 marks that the responses for each one is at least 200 words. They should be written as paragraphs, complete with footnoting where relevant. EP EPHUMA147 Law in Australia Assessment 4 Explanatory Notes • 2 Open Foundation 1. Describe two incidents in The Castle where you think the principles of the Rule of law are not being upheld and/or are under threat of being compromised and explain which principles they are and why you chose them. 2 marks This question allows students to show understanding of interrelationship between law, justice, and society. It is suggested that the concepts in the course material and World Justice Project factors such as: Constraints on Government Powers, Absence of Corruption, Fundamental Rights, Order and Security, Regulatory Enforcement and Civil Justice should be considered in answering this question. World Justice Project Does not require referencing. 2. Give the number and wording of the section of the Australian Constitution that was used unsuccessfully in the Federal Court and then also of the one successfully used in the High Court. 0.5 mark Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (Imp) Example: s51 (vii) lighthouses, lightships, beacons and buoys 3. The Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (Cth)) are referred to at (1:09). Explain in your own words what Regulations are and how they are made. 1 mark I think you can work on this yourself. 4. Dennis says that this airport expansion has ‘every level of government’ involved (37m). Give one example for each level of government of an area they would be involved in for an airport development. 1.5 marks Local – State – Federal – EP EPHUMA147 Law in Australia Assessment 4 Explanatory Notes • 3 Open Foundation 5. At the end of the movie, the comment is made by Dale (Narrator) that Wayne’s “Parole board could not believe their eyes when Mr Hammill walked in” (1.16m). Explain your understanding of the reason for this comment. 1 mark Students should consider issues regarding access to justice. 6. If the case was successful, it could have been called the ‘Kerrigan Decision’. As the movie was set in Victoria, explain what type of precedent this case would establish for the NSW Supreme Court of Appeal. 0.5 mark Your options are binding or persuasive, but you need to also explain your choice. 7. Cite correctly using AGLC4 (using either reported or unreported format) three High Court cases mentioned in The Castle. 1 mark Example: Reported: Commonwealth Bank of Australia v Barker (2104) 253 CLR 169 Unreported: Commonwealth Bank of Australia v Barker [2014] HCA 32 You need to include the 3 citations of your cases in the bibliography. 8. For each of these judicial bodies, briefly explain their jurisdiction and give reasons why they are hearing the Kerrigan’s case and their decision on the case. 1.5 marks For example: The Family Court is a federal court that has jurisdiction over family law matters. This court would have jurisdiction as the case involves divorce and the decision this court made was for the respondent, meaning that Fred’s case was unsuccessful. Do not need to reference. EP EPHUMA147 Law in Australia Assessment 4 Explanatory Notes • 4 Open Foundation 9. Identify and explain two legal factual errors made in the movie. 1 mark Example: In the Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), events of the movie are meant to take place on “on a late November evening”, however as President Richard Nixon’s resignation speech of August 1974 is live on the radio, there is an error in the time framing of the movie. Please note there are errors in The Castle movie that are much more obvious than this when you have a little legal knowledge. 10 In the High Court case, Darryl Kerrigan was the Appellant. Name and explain who the Appellant was in Chadbourne v Ansell and why they appealed the case. 1 mark This requires an insightful explanation for why the the case was appealed, using your understanding of the doctrine of precedent. Answers stating the reason for appealing was to simply to win the case will not gain marks. 11. Find and cite a real example of the successful use of s 51(xxxi) by the Commonwealth under the Lands Acquisition Act 1989 (Cth) and then briefly describe in your own words what was acquired and why. 2 marks Link is Lands Acquisition Act 1989 (Cth). How do I find cases about this Act? In the right-hand menu, you should see the term NoteUp references. “Noting up” a document means searching for references to that document (the source) in other documents (targets) using a particular aspect of your source document: say a section in legislation, or a citation or the party names for a case. The target is usually references in cases, but depending on your NoteUp method and scope, you may also find references in journal articles (full text or index/citator records), law reform reports, commentary or encyclopedias. How to use: [NoteUp] ‘button’, in an Act’s Table, or in a Section EP EPHUMA147 Law in Australia Assessment 4 Explanatory Notes • 5 Open Foundation Example Salvatore Banno and Antonino Banno v Common2 ACSR 605 (1993) 46 A poultry farm owned by brothers Salvatore and Antonino Banno was compulsorily acquired by the Commonwealth of Australia, for the future construction needs of the proposed Badgery’s Creek airport. You need to include the citation of your case in the bibliography. 12. Darryl made the comment at 1.05 that Australians should “stop stealing other people’s land”. Did the decision in the Mabo case mean that the Federal government cannot use s51 acquire land over which Native Title has been granted? Would they be required to pay compensation? Explain your reason. 2 marks Your answer may require referencing in footnotes and bibliography. Longer Answers 13 In his summing up Lawrence Hammill says (1.14) ‘I can’t speak for those who wrote this document, but I bet when they put in the phrase “on just terms” they hoped it would stop anyone short-changing someone like Darryl Kerrigan’. Should judges try to remain consistent with the original intention of the creators of Acts, or should judges adapt the words to contemporary needs and values? Give reasons and examples for your answer. 4 marks EP EPHUMA147 Law in Australia Assessment 4 Explanatory Notes • 6 Open Foundation Your answer may require referencing in footnotes and Bibliography. 14. Dennis Denuto (53 m) claimed that the Constitution has a ‘vibe” Is there any evidence that he is correct? 4 marks Students should be aware that there are two different types of constitutionally protected rights: express rights and implied rights. This is all the hint you get, however there are High Court cases on this issue. For full marks, evidence needs to include reference to case law. Your answer may require referencing in footnotes and bibliography. 15. Many criticisms have been made of the Australian legal system. These include claims it is too costly; it is not delivered in a timely manner, and it is too complex. Do you think these claims are accurate or not? Give evidence of specific examples to support your answer. 4 marks Evidence cannot be anecdotal, such as “My legal costs for my divorce were really high”! Independent research is needed to find evidence and examples. Students are required to cover the 3 issues for full marks. Your answer may require referencing in footnotes and Bibliography. Footnoting and Bibliography 2 marks. The following legislation and cases, plus any other that are used, should be included in the Bibliography.

Practitioner Research Proposal Essay

Education

*Please see attached for FAQs about the assessment (you may find it useful) and marking criteria*

In this essay, you are invited to deal with the broad question of how an educational practitioner can monitor an impact of their work. This is of importance as practitioners steeped in understanding of their actual impact are in better position to

(1) modify their approach when needed and (2) demonstrate this impact to others (stakeholders, government, …)

Part 1 (max 1250 words): A critical analysis of the contribution of practitioner research to informing policy and/or

practice in education.

• Considering your interest as a practitioner (or as one entering the teaching profession), choose one particular approach to

practitioner research (e.g., action learning).

• Select and analyse several specific studies, relevant to your interest, in which this research approach was used. *You have to set a context. See below for some context and research questions examples.*

• Report how these studies advanced the questions of your interest, and which problems of practice are still wide open.

Part 2 (max 1250 words): Practitioner research proposal.

• Describe how you would use the practitioner research approach you chose in Part 1 to inform and grow your professional

practice. MAKE SURE TO EXPLAIN:

• What would count as meaningful change (impact) for you, and

• How you would know whether (or to what extent) you achieved the desired change.

Throughout the essay, remember to draw on (and demonstrate) your understandings of some of the issues from core

course literature, such as

• stakeholder voices,

• the purposes of education,

• audience for the practitioner research findings,

• equity and social justice.

Context and Research Questions Examples (Just examples):

1. How can I change my teaching of [subject that you’re interest in] so that I support my year 8 students in developing critical thinking skills?
