How does her issue affect her behavior? Give specific examples.Based on Jessica’s biology, what are some possible challenges she could face? How might these challenges affect her behavior?Compare Jessica’s behavior to that of a “typical” teen. Consider biological and developmental influences. Discuss areas that Jessica could be missing out on compared to a “typical” teen and how her issue has shaped who she is as a person.Consider the needs Jessica might have ten years from now when she is an independent adult.

Week 5 ReflectionThe following question will give you a chance to self-evaluate, to think about what you’ve been learning in this course, and to draw your own conclusions about how you can apply your problem solving skill in your life. Your answers may be used to determine how to improve the program for future students. Your answers will not be used for marketing purposes. Please respond in a paragraph of at least 5–7 sentences to fully address the question. Be sure to use your own words!Next week, you will start working toward your Week 7 assignment, which asks you to create your own philosophy by using experiences to support your beliefs.To prepare, remind yourself of the questions you answered in the Week 2 discussion. As a review, those questions were:Describe how you define yourself to others. Be specific.Describe how you define yourself to yourself. Be specific.Describe how you think others might define you. Be specific.For this reflection, think about the person you’d like to be in the future. Now, answer these same questions with your future-self in mind:Describe your future ideal self to others. Be specific and explain why.Describe your future ideal self to yourself. Be specific and explain why.Describe how you think others might define you in the future. Be specific and explain why.For example (first bullet point): Right now, I describe myself to others as being kind and trustworthy. In the future, I’d like to be able to describe myself as the person at work that people go to first to get the job done—and to get the job done well.Click Start a Submission on the Assignment page to write your answers in the textbox.This is my answer to week 2 discussionGood afternoon Everyone,To others, I would define myself as someone who gives her all and tries her hardest at any task—someone who analyzes every situation and is motivated by fact-based information. An individual who wants to do the right thing and treats others with respect, and always gives others a chance. I, on the other hand, am a straight shooter who does not sugarcoat anything. Also, I would describe myself as a systematic person who prefers things to be done in order and with structure. Structure and organization are an integral part of my life, and I cannot function without them. Before I begin any task, I must first devise a strategy.

Research designs and methods are not created equal. Each design and method has its strengths and limitations. True experimental research designs, for example, tend to have higher levels of validity compared to ex post facto designs. Once you decide on your research design this week and the method, which you will cover in Week 8, it is important to evaluate limitations of each and consider how you will attempt to prevent or minimize them in your study. Either determining research questions or the research design might come first; most likely, you will circle back from one to the other until they are aligned and one flows logically from the other. It is necessary to have both in place before deciding on your methodology. To prepare for this Assignment, review the Learning Resources for the week. Your research design represents the structure of your study. In other words, the research design includes (a) elements of treatment; and (b) the number, type, relationship, and strategies to control the variables you are studying. It also includes (c) the number and type of individuals or groups in your sample. Finally, the research design includes (d) the measurements; (e) sampling methods; (f) data collection time frame; and (g) setting (Walden University, 2010). Research methods are used to carry out research designs; methods fall under two broad categories: (a) Quantitative (e.g., experimsental, quasi-experimental) and (b) qualitative (e.g., case study, grounded theory, ethnography) (Trochim & Land, 1982). More on that in Week 8. Again, your problem statement and research questions will help you determine your research design, and your research design will help determine your research method. In this Assignment, you will select a research design and examine its appropriateness for your potential research. In your Discussion assignment, you have posted at least two research questions. In the Week 7 Application Assignment, using the required readings and media resources on research design, write 4-5 pages (a) describing at least one potential research design you could use, (b) the strengths and limitations (including reliability and validity issues) of that design selection, and (c) the rationale for your selection: Finally, explain how your problem statement, purpose statement, and research questions align with your proposed methodology and design. Be specific. The latter will become part of your Prospectus section on the nature of the study, together with your chosen methodology. Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.
