If learning styles do not significantly affect learning outcomes, how might this information still be useful to both students and educators in other ways?  Share an article from a peer reviewed journal that talks about how cultural and social factors have influenced the development of learning style inventories and/or how these influences might skew the student’s results.

Initial Post:  Despite a lack of evidence to support that learning styles correlate with learning outcomes, current educational discourse maintains that teachers should assess student learning styles and incorporate teaching methods and materials to address them all. In your initial post, comment on your reactions to the article and video below.  If learning styles do not significantly affect learning outcomes, how might this information still be useful to both students and educators in other ways?  Share an article from a peer reviewed journal that talks about how cultural and social factors have influenced the development of learning style inventories and/or how these influences might skew the student’s results.

For your data set, use Excel to graph the purchasing power data you selected in Part I and find three models with the input being the number of years since 1910 and the output being the purchasing power. You must find a (a) linear model, (b) Polynomial model of any order (whatever you want), and (c) an exponential or logarithmic model (again your choice – choose what looks best).

Explain which model is most accurate for each data set (re-watch my Accuracy of Models video if you need the review.) Be sure to copy all scatterplots with the regression model and equation (Just literally CTRL + C the graph and it should paste right into your word processor.)

Threat modeling is the process used to identify security requirements by reviewing a diagram of the information technology architecture. The threat surface is the sum total of all the ways a threat can cross the boundary. In this discussion post, you will use threat modeling to secure your residence.

For this project, you will apply the CompTIA 6-Step Troubleshooting Process to explain how you would tackle Hudson Fisher Associates Help Desk Tickets. There are three groups of tickets, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. You will pick two tickets from each group.

For this project, you will apply the CompTIA 6-Step Troubleshooting Process to explain how you would tackle Hudson Fisher Associates Help Desk Tickets. There are three groups of tickets, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. You will pick two tickets from each group.
As you prepare to analyze and hopefully solve these typical IT help desk tickets, keep in mind that for this course, it is more about the process and less about finding the “correct” answer. You may not always find an exact answer from the information given. The problems are structured to approximate what you will find in the workplace. Use a logical and repeatable process (e.g., the CompTIA 6-Step Troubleshooting Process) and eliminate the improbable as you work your way through each scenario.
CompTIA 6-Step Troubleshooting Process:

Identify the problem.
Establish a theory of probable cause.
Evaluate the theory to determine the actual cause.
Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and implement the solution.
Verify full system functionality and if applicable implement preventative measures.
Document findings, actions, and outcomes.

How Will My Work Be Evaluated?
As you progress in your information technology and cybersecurity career, you may find yourself making presentations to customers, client audiences, and management. For this assignment, you should articulate your findings from the six support cases.
But the challenge you face is in expressing a technical solution to a nontechnical audience. Avoid jargon and acronyms. Find a way to relay your solution (and challenges) in language that your audience will find easily relatable.
Communicating in this manner will not always be easy. You may struggle to find the right analogy or metaphor. But if you can master the skill of summarizing your results and recommendations to management in an effective presentation, you will demonstrate how you use your technical knowledge to convey your ideas to others in a professional setting. You will also earn the respect and trust of your peers, your supervisor, and upper management as an effective communicator. You will be viewed as an employee ready for advancement.
The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies will be used to grade your assignment:

1.1.1: Articulate the main idea and purpose of a communication.
1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.
1.3.3: Integrate appropriate credible sources to illustrate and validate ideas.
2.1.1: Identify the issue or problem under consideration.
2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.
12.7.2: Explain the process of analyzing IT incidents.
13.1.1: Create documentation appropriate to the stakeholder.

Your deliverable for the project is an annotated PowerPoint Presentation covering the following:

List of the six tickets you selected (two each from Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3)
One to two slides for each ticket, in which you:

State the problem.
Describe the steps taken to troubleshoot/analyze the problem.
Propose a brief resolution.

One summary slide: What did you find challenging or interesting about one or two of the support cases (opinion-based)?
One reference slide (two to six IEEE references). Include references for materials you consulted in TestOut or on the internet.

Review this week’s Learning Resources, noting the ways in which indigenous groups ally themselves with others and adapt to change. Identify a threat to cultural and biological diversity and/or environmental justice and sustainability in an indigenous group.

When indigenous groups feel pressure from outside forces—colonialism in the past, or the seeming juggernaut of a global economy now—historically, the outside forces tend to overcome the indigenous groups. However, indigenous peoples are working toward self-determination and exercising their own agency, or power, to shape their destinies in response to globalization. In this Discussion, you explore the alliances and partnerships that work toward indigenous sustainability.
TO PREPARE FOR DISCUSSION:

Review this week’s Learning Resources, noting the ways in which indigenous groups ally themselves with others and adapt to change.
Identify a threat to cultural and biological diversity and/or environmental justice and sustainability in an indigenous group.
Investigate whether or not the indigenous group is partnering with an external activist to maintain cultural and biological diversity and/or promote environmental justice and sustainability.
Detail the joint actions undertaken, or the opportunity for joint actions that could be undertaken, to work toward diversity, justice, or sustainability for indigenous peoples.

BY DAY 3
Post two paragraphs that describe the joint actions undertaken—or that could be initiated—toward maintaining cultural and biological diversity or promoting environmental justice and/or sustainability for the indigenous group you identified. Analyze to what extent diversity, justice, and sustainability are important for the future of indigenous peoples.
Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources, or something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.
