discussion promptThis week, we are learning about issues surrounding human genetics and eugenics, including stem cell research, cloning, and genetic testing and treatment.Choose and describe a scientific technique or practice related to genetics and eugenics. Provide the rationale behind the use of this technique or practice.Discuss your thoughts and ideas regarding the technique or practice. Is it ever justifiable? Why or why not?Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postingscomment 1There are many different scientific techniques or practices that relate to genetics and eugenics. One of the practices that was appealing to me was stem cell research. Stem cell research is, "the in-depth research of stem cells and how they can potentially be used in medicine" (Henry Mayo, 2019, para 3). There are many benefits in doing stem cell research like being able to test new drugs for success rate and effectiveness. The goal of stem cell research is for the undifferentiated cells to be used in specific problems for illnesses and specific problems a patient might have. Researchers willl be growing stem cells in labs and use them to specialize into different cells. Like talked about earlier, stem cell research is intriguing because it helps gain a better understanding of how diseases occur. "Being able to watch stem cells grow into heart muscles and other organs helps researcher find out how they're developed" (Henry Mayo, 2019, para 5). There are lots of controversy with stem cell research because people will bring ethical issues regarding the damage it can cause to an embryo, but the benefits outweigh the risks. undefinedHenry Mayo.

Eugenics practice intends to decrease human suffering by “breeding out” disease, disabilities and unwanted features from the human population (A&E Television Network, 2019). Cloning is a common practice associated with eugenics, it, furthermore, can be applied to a variety of procedures that can be used to create genetically identical replicas of an organic being (National Human Genome Research Institute, n.d.). The copied matter, which contains identical genetic material as the original, is denoted a clone. Throughout history, researchers have duplicated a great variety of biological materials, such as genes, cells, tissues and even entire organisms, such as a sheep (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2020). 3 kinds of artificial cloning have been identified, these include gene cloning, reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. Gene cloning creates copies of genes or sections of DNA. Reproductive cloning focuses on producing copies of entire animals. Lastly, therapeutic cloning refers to creating embryonic stem cells for trials focused on creation of tissues which will replace wounded or diseased tissues (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2020).This is yet another topic which will create controversy among popular opinion. I can see why certain people will label this practice unethical and will go as far as accusing researchers of playing God. I, on the other hand, do not have a problem as long as it is merely done for the benefit of humanity and research. As long as no healthy being is as harmed in the process, I do not have an issue with the cloning practice. ReferencesA&E Television Network. (2091, October 28).

Develop a standardized template for evaluating courses in a selected program. Include a 2-3 page executive summary containing the rationale and justification for the methods selected.IntroductionThe purpose of a course evaluation is to ensure that your course is, in fact, serving the intended purpose and assessing the learning outcomes and instructional content. Standardized templates are useful for learners, faculty, and the organization because they allow you to establish expectations and ensure data collected give you the right kind of information upon which to make evidence-based decisions related to meeting learners' and the organization's needs and goals.OverviewThis is a two-part assessment. The first part is the development of a standardized course evaluation template. The second part is an executive summary addressed to a workplace supervisor.PreparationAs you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.What are the key components of an end-of-course evaluation?How can you determine if educational outcomes meet the needs and goals of a health care setting?What are examples of alternative evaluation methods for learning outcomes in nursing education?What types of questions should be included in a clinical evaluation questionnaire?Use the Capella University Library and the Internet to ensure you are familiar with the following:Explore a variety of methods that can be used to evaluate the achievement of the learning objectives as well as program outcomes.Understand the steps in assembling and administering the tests for learning outcomes.Examine how validity and reliability of evaluation methods for courses and program outcomes are measured and established.Find examples of course evaluations. If you choose to incorporate ideas from other examples, you must provide proper APA citations and format.The following resources are required to complete the assessment.Assessment Formatting Guidelines [DOCX].Part One – Standardized Course Evaluation TemplateDetermine the best approach for evaluating whether the learning objectives and program outcomes are being assessed adequately in your course. Make use of your work from the previous assessments in the creation of your standardized course assessment template.Create a standardized template that clearly measures the course's ability to achieve the learning objectives and outcomes stated in your earlier assessments in this course.There is no page limit for this template. Page length should be appropriate to the context.Note: You are encouraged to integrate feedback received for your earlier assessments to continue tweaking your application of the concepts in this course.Part Two – Executive SummaryOnce you have completed your standardized template, construct an executive summary to discuss the rationale for it.In the executive summary, include the following critical elements that align with the grading criteria:A summary of how the course evaluation aligns with the stated learning objectives and program outcomes.A justification for the methods chosen to evaluate the achievement of learning outcomes.A description of how validity and reliability of evaluation methods will be established.Additional RequirementsFollow the Assessment Formatting Guidelines [DOCX]. In addition, your assessment should meet the following requirements:APA format: Use correct APA style and formatting for the executive summary, paying particular attention to citations and references.Document format: Include a cover page and a properly formatted APA style reference list.References: Include at least five peer-reviewed scholarly resources from the last 5 years to support your rationale.Length:Executive summary: 1–2 double-spaced pages (excluding cover page and reference list).Evaluation template: No page limit.Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.MUST INCLUDE EACH CRITERIA:-Creates a standardized course evaluation template that can be used to evaluate the achievement of learning outcomes in a program offering, and presents relevant evidence to support assessment strategies used to create the template.-Ensures that the appropriate cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains have been assessed in a course evaluation, and identifies assumptions on which the assessments are based.-Selects an evaluation format that adequately assesses learning and program outcomes, and identifies criteria that could be used to evaluate the format selected.-Supports the validity and reliability of evaluation methods used in a course evaluation form, and impartially assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the evaluation methods.-Writes clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics; and uses relevant evidence to support a central idea.-Correctly formats the assessment, citations, and references using APA style. Citations and references are free from all errors.File below is prior assessment, this is a continuation
