We’ve arrived at the middle of the term – let’s take a minute to evaluate our progress! In this exercise you should reflect on the information you’ve explored in the textbook and the course assignments so far. Your goal is to identify something you want to share with the class. This might be an interesting fact gleaned from the reading, a connection made between this class and content from another one, or a surprising epiphany about arts, ideas & values. Below are several prompts to help you narrow down your focus and offer a reaction that really addresses our objectives in this course – select ONE (1) and share your response with the class: Explain how arts, ideas, and values intersect in the public eye. Provide an example of how art communicates meaning to the viewer. Offer an example of how art serves as a conduit for personal and social change. Identify an art piece that you feel a deep connection with as an individual. Offer an example of how individual art may express a cultural worldview.

Measures of association quantify relationships between two or more variables. In public health, professionals are concerned with the correlation between disease and behavior or exposure. However, a correlation does not automatically imply that a change in one variable will cause the other variable to change. To determine whether one variable affects another, causation must be established. For this assignment, you will practice calculating relative risk based on real world examples. Relative risk is a measure of association used in epidemiological studies to assess the relationship between disease and exposure. Use the "Calculating Relative Risk" worksheet to complete this assignment.  

Details:The quest to understand the lived experience and the philosophical structures of experience and consciousness is the focus of a movement that began in the early years of the 20th Century. The movement is called phenomenology because the movement explores the lived experience of phenomena. Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger were two of the prominent philosophers who developed this method of inquiry though each took a significantly different philosophical approach to understanding human experience. In this assignment, you will discuss the psychology research methods that emerged from the philosophies of Husserl and Heidegger and the researchers who developed those methods.General Requirements:This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.This assignment requires that at least two scholarly research sources related to this topic, and at least one in-text citation from each source be included. You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.Directions:Write a paper (1,250-1,500 words) in which you discuss both the phenomenological research methods in psychology that emerged from the philosophies of Husserl and Heidegger and the theorists/psychologists who developed those methods. Include the following in your paper:A discussion of at least two phenomenological research methods that emerged from the phenomenological philosophy of Husserl. What were the central tenets of each method? What is known about the theorists/psychologists who developed each method?A discussion of at least two phenomenological research methods that emerged from the phenomenological philosophy of Heidegger. What were the central tenets of each method? What is known about the theorists/psychologists who developed each method?A contrast of the primary differences among the phenomenological research methods identified above. How does each method address approaches to data gathering, data analysis, and the role of the researcher?A research-based statement of and rationale for the method you believe allows the best understanding of human experience.Please see the attached rubric for guidance of how to ensure the paper is done in a correct manner. In addition, please be sure that you provide appropriate references and that they are cited in APA 6th edition format and that the references are a peer reviewed article or journal and not website references.
