What do you think would help you improve your Excel skills, if you need to?

Overview
The end of the semester is a good time to think about your math, accounting, and Excel skills.
Excel is widely considered a basic skill requirement for accounting and finance jobs.
Discussion Requirements
Take a moment to think about, and then comment on each of the following questions:
What has been your experience in this class using Excel to solve math problems?
At this point, how comfortable are you using Excel for business purposes? When do you still use your calculator?
What do you think would help you improve your Excel skills, if you need to?
Please comment on using Excel in IFSM 201 and / or IFSM 300 if you completed either of these courses.

Briefly state your theoretical perspective based on Mills’ “Sociological Imagination.”

You are preparing to conduct a study on residential eviction in West Coconut Grove. The following concept will become your dependent variable: residential eviction. Although you will examine the relationship of several independent variables (such as “race”) to residential eviction, for this specific assignment you will focus on only one concept that will become an independent variable: poverty.
Briefly state your theoretical perspective based on Mills’ “Sociological Imagination.”
Within your theoretical perspective, what is your research question? Evaluate the worth of your research question according to the three criteria for doing so.
What is your hypothesis? Write the hypothesis in each of the three standard forms.
Based on the required steps, conceptualize and operationalize:
Poverty. What are the decisions to consider in view of the four basic measurement types? How would you address measurement validity and reliability? How might you use mixed methods and triangulation?
Residential eviction. What are the decisions to consider in view of the four basic measurement types? How would you address measurement validity and reliability? How might you use mixed methods and triangulation?
Unit of analysis: households
How would you conduct a simple random (probability) sample of households? What is the advantage of conducting a probability sample?
Let’s say you weren’t able to draw a random sample, so you’d draw a snowball sample. How would you do so? What’s the disadvantage of such a sample? What would you have to write so that readers of your study would be aware of this disadvantage?
Your study’s unit of analysis is households. If somebody asks, “What can you conclude from your study about individual persons in West Grove?,” how would you answer in order to avoid committing a logical fallacy and why?
Research design: What would be a cross-sectional design for your study, and what would be a longitudinal design?
Possible results
What would be a positive relationship and a negative relationship between poverty and residential eviction?
How would a graph indicate no relationship between poverty and residential eviction?
What ethical issues would your study have to address in light of the Belmont Report, and how would you address them?
What challenges would your positionality present, and how would you try to address them?
Can a cross-sectional survey design establish plausible causality? Why or why not in view of the criteria (especially the first three) for establishing plausible causality? In view of those criteria, why would even a longitudinal survey design be unable to establish plausible causality?
What five basic steps of the scientific method would your study encompass?

Policy Making and Community Health Advocacy
It is very important that community health nurses provide not only input to policy circles through advocacy but also leadership at decision-making tables. The community health nurse is reviewing an online in-service program on the importance of this role in providing an essential influence and unique perspective in health care.
Seasoned advocates have developed skills in influencing policy decisions. Some individuals use the “ten commandments of lobbying.” What are the basic ideas that are inherent to advocates?
The community health nurse needs to know something about the forces shaping health policy and the policy process in order to be in a better position to influence policy outcomes. What are the three components of Kingdon’s framework for policy analysis?

is it permissible to believe a true belief without sufficient evidence?

What is the significance of the stories about the ship-owner and the religious islanders to Clifford’s argument? What is wrong with the actions and beliefs of the shipowner and the agitators in the island? Why is belief important according to Clifford? For Clifford, why is wrongness attributable to a belief (not just an action)? Why is it the case that even uneducated people have the duty to believe according to evidence? For Clifford, is it permissible to believe a true belief without sufficient evidence?

What domain of security and privacy in smartphones?

Draw a model and send it to me. Showing how your independent variables will flow into your dependent variables.
What type of assessment? Quantitative method, what type of design?
What technique? Is the technique from your literature? Is it a known technique that has been used in another study for a different purpose?
What domain of security and privacy in smartphones? As I said before to you and the class, saying security and privacy is too general.
What you put for your variables isn’t right. What are you going to measure or quantify for your variables? Is this backed by the literature you found, if so then there should be a model that the researcher constructed? You wouldn’t include age/education as variables. How would you measure culture, life experience, personality? How would you measure internet usage, email experience, and understanding of smartphone phishing? Is there an existing survey instrument that you are going to use?
