I’m trying to learn for my Psychology class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

The purpose of this assignment is to keep the doctoral learner focused on dissertation success. The Advancing Scientific Knowledge and Significance of the Study section of the dissertation identifies the “gap” or “need” in the literature that was used to define the problem statement and develop the research questions. Further, it describes how the study will address the “gap” or “identified need.” The section describes how the research fits with and will contribute to or advance the current literature or body of research. Although this advancement may be a small step forward in a line of current research, it must add to the current body of knowledge and align to the learner’s program of study.

General Requirements: Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

• Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.
• Refer to Chapters 2-4 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for specific guidelines related to doctoral-level writing. These chapters contain essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.
• This assignment requires that at least two additional 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 LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

Directions:

Write a report (500-750 words) in which you:

1. Identify the “gap” or “need” in the literature that was used to define the problem statement and develop the research questions.
2. Describe how your study will fit with and contribute to or advance the current literature or body of research.

Here is the case study to answer the questions from.

Refer to the case study below to complete course assignments:

Assume you have started consulting with a large, public university that has experienced considerable athletic success across multiple sports. One of the teams you provide services for is the men’s basketball team, which is considered a revenue-generating sport for the athletic department. The coach has stated that he appreciates your assistance, he welcomed you to watch practice, and he allowed you time to present to the team on performance optimization strategies. You have worked with a few of players on an individual basis, but only to follow-up on the strategies you taught in the team sessions.

During one of your practice observations, you notice that the design of practices seems very inconsistent and disorganized. You overheard several players discuss how they never know what to expect in terms of intensity of practice regardless of their upcoming competition or strength and conditioning schedule. You observed one of the assistant coaches attempt to implement more structure and drills that appeared to have a solid theoretical basis for training. The head coach seemed to incorporate some of the suggestions, but when the team loses a game, the practices get even more inefficient and the head coach is much more critical of their performance without giving specific instructions on how to improve. The players’ frustrations are visible as their body language and communication with each other appears to suffer after a loss.

Sam is a sophomore on the team. He was highly recruited and has always described himself as a “gym rat” because he devotes so much time training for basketball. During Sam’s freshman year, he averaged 10-12 minutes per game and the coaching staff reported they were very productive minutes. He was not stellar, but they could count on him to score points and play good defense. Sam is now in contention for a starting spot, but his performance is not nearly as good as what it was his freshman year. In particular, his confidence and focus seem inconsistent and he has been rude to his teammates and coaches when they give him feedback. He seems anxious while rushing the plays and committing turnovers. In addition, he has fouled out of several games.

The team athletic trainer informs you that Sam would like to meet for an individual session, but he does not want the coaching staff to know he is seeking this assistance. In your first meeting with Sam, he says he has never felt this anxious while playing and seems to “black out” when under pressure. Sam reports feeling misunderstood by his teammates and coaches, which leads him to distance himself from them. Sam tells you that his goal is to make it to the next level and that he feels he must be the top scorer each game if he is going to achieve that goal. Sam tells you he has questions about how to run the offense, but is afraid to ask the coaching staff for fear of losing his starting position.

Suppose a monopoly must decide on a level of R&D along with production levels. R&D is expensive initially, but lowers the marginal cost of production. Suppose the firm faces costs C(q,r) = ar^2 + (c-r)q, and must decide on a level of R&D expenditure and how much of the good to produce, q. Inverse demand is given by p(q) = a-bq.

If the price of gasoline is relatively high for a long time, consumers are more likely to buy fuel-efficient cars or switch to alternatives such as public transportation. Therefore, the demand for gasoline iselastic in the short run than in the long run.

Use the following scenario from The IRIS Center to complete the tasks below:

José is a new student in the fifth grade. It is April and this is the third school José has been in this year. José adapts well to change, has a positive attitude toward school, and appears to have made friends at his new school. José does well in math and enjoys science and social studies. In the area of reading, José is able to easily decode unfamiliar words and reads with good expression. However, in the area of comprehension, José has difficulty answering questions that require reasoning and total understanding of the story. José also has difficulty identifying the main components of a story. José’s teacher, Ms. Lundy, states that although he enjoys reading and does not seem to be frustrated, he will not ask for help when needed, thus his reading grade is beginning to suffer. Ms. Lundy has the following instructional goals for José:

• Given a reading passage on his instructional level, José will answer inferential and evaluative comprehension questions;
• Given a reading passage on his instructional level, José will recall the main story elements.

Paulsen, K., & the IRIS Center. (2004).Comprehension & vocabulary: Grades 3–5.

Research three strategies regarding comprehension instruction that will assist José in reaching his goals.

In 500-750 words, decide which of José’s goals you would address first and explain why.  For each goal, identify a strategy and explain why or how it will assist José in reaching his goals.

Include three sources from your research in your essay to support your position.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Submit this assignment to your instructor in LoudCloud by the end of this topic.

I’m studying for my Mathematics class and need an explanation.

Assume that you are in an elevator with the CEO of a company you want to work in. How will you introduce yourself to her/him in 30 seconds in order to

a. Introduce yourself

b. Explain what you want to do in the next five years

Respond to at least one other post – How would you steer the conversation if you are talking to another potential candidate who is also applying to work at this company in the elevator? Create a thread in order to view other threads in this forum.
