• Due Friday, Feb. 8: A description of what you plan to do for your project submitted via Canvas. Your plan should include enough detail that the scope and content of your project can be evaluated. Your description should state clearly what the topic of your project will be, why you are choosing it, what images you will create, how you plan to obtain the images needed for the project, and what the form of your project will be – a poster, slideshow, an original color image, etc. Include a timeline with milestones for your work on the final project so that you will be able to track your own progress. Remember that most final projects should be submitted as single PDF files and must contain original, digital images. It should be possible to describe your project in no more than 250 words. 100 words is probably too few for the level of detail expected.
• Due Friday, March 22: A draft of your project, submitted via Canvas, including drafts of the digital images you are creating. Also describe the work that still needs to be completed. Your draft project should include enough detail that your progress can be evaluated. Be sure to identify the sources of the images you are using. With additional text, evaluate your progress in meeting the timeline submitted with the project plan. It should be possible to describe your progress in no more than 250 words. 100 words is probably too few for the level of detail expected. (Hint: review the grading rubric to see how your project measures up…)
• Due Friday, April 26: Your final project, submitted via Canvas. Most projects should be submitted as a single PDF file. You may also upload jpg files of your original images.

Initial Posts should consist of at least 150 words Consider possible topics for the Argumentative Research paper. Be creative. Avoid broad, frequently-argued topics such as the Death Penalty and Obesity. Present at least three topics, and of the three, select one. Based upon that one topic, create a sentence Outline that includes a well-defined thesis statement (claim), at least three points to support your thesis statement, and at least one counter argument. Conclude this outline with a sentence that indicates how you might respond to the counter argument.

Two Replies: Each reply should consist of at least 100 words. 1. Would you test a new skincare product on your child just to test if it has a side effect on their skin? Hopefully, your answer is no. If it is, then why would we test them on other innocent creatures like animals. Anything with a beating heart should have their life valued as much as our own. Animal testing is an aged practice that should be a problem of the past. Today we have new inventions and discoveries happening daily. If we can create prosthetic limbs then we can create an imitation skin that we will be able to test products on and get similar results. Switching to this practice can save millions of lives, and still give the wanted result. You must be thinking, what about cost? While it may be costly to create this skin or human like organisms to practice and test products on rather than finding a bunch of rats, it is our job as humans to celebrate all walks of life and preserve our furry friends on this planet. Doubts I often hear is that the imitation skin/testing practice cannot give as close or good of a result as an actual living creature can. This is definitely a possibility, but with technology evolving daily it is a small factor that can soon or has already been diminished. 2.Thesis statement: Teenagers should not be allowed to date until they turn 18 years old to prevent sexual abuse in young teenagers, to prevent dependency on a significant other, and so they can focus on their grades. According to professional studies about 1 out of 5 women are sexually abuse every year by significant others. Psychologist recommend that young woman should not be alone past 9pm. Teens that have liberty from their parents at an early age, turn into rebels. 33% of abuse cases were by a significant other or a family member. Teenagers will become more dependent on their significant other Low self-esteem is a big issue on why young teens grow dependency on someone else There are more likely to be brain washed School should be their main priority Focusing on school and achieving excellent grades for college acceptances Boys and girls can be a major distraction to each other. Not being allowed to date at an early age will not make a teen deprived, as a social life will be allowed under certain conditions. Friendships and relationship are very different.

A Brief Description of the Research Study

In the study by Srinivasan, Sorrell, Brooks, Edwards, and McDougle (2013), the researchers describe quantitative methods police administrators use when evaluating current staffing to justify to government bodies the size of the patrol workforce in order to meet demands of performance benchmarks. The results can be used to estimate the size of the patrol force (Srinivasan et al., 2013). Although police forces are critical, economically challenging times have forced them to justify their expenditures (Srinivasan et al., 2013). A fully staffed police force should be able to meet the following requirements as explained by Srinivasan et al. (2013):

1. 40% of their time is spent engaging in the community

2. few numbers of cross-sector calls

3. responds to high priority calls within seven minutes

4. minimize overtime for officers

This study specifically looks at response time of the Richmond Police Department using benchmarks one through three over four-hour time periods within 24 hours, so six all together, and when these benchmarks are met, the model is shown to indirectly achieve the minimization of overtime and the number of patrol officers working (benchmark four and five) (Srinivasan et al., 2013). The following are the five benchmarks as relayed by Srinivasan et al. (2013) and it should be known minimum patrol staffing requirements were used in this simulation:

1. call arrival or the time the 911 operator records the call for service

2. officer dispatched or the time the operator dispatches an officer as soon as they are available

3. officer travels to scene or the time the officer marks themselves ‘one scene’

4. officer arrives at scene or the time an officer spends on scene

5. call is cleared or the time an officer completes their service

Data was collected for a year and it provided mathematical evidence to support the size of the patrol force needed to meet performance benchmarks (Srinivasan et al., 2013). There was an original proposal to increase the force by 60 officers and the study prevented layoffs but no new officers were hired so the solution is having officers work overtime to meet the demand (Srinivasa et al., 2013).

What makes this a Quantitative Study

Stangor (2015) describes quantitative research as descriptive research that uses formal measures of behavior designed to be subjected to statistical data. It also describes ongoing behavior in its original form (Stangor, 2015). It elicits numbers and percentages and typically answers questions starting with ‘what?’ (Barnham, 2015). In this particular study, the researches are answering a series of ‘what’ questions including what is the response time, travel time, and on scene time for officers? Considering the researchers are quantifying time, it makes the study founded in quantitative research. The data was collected using systemic methods via the computer-aided-dispatch (CAD) data to assess input distributions (Srinivasan et al., 2013) and, as explained by Stangor (2015), this collection method is associated with quantitative research.

How One Might Create a Qualitative Method

Qualitative methods describes observations in detail (Stangor, 2015). It is used when more in depth understanding of attitudes, behavior, and motivations are needed (Barnham, 2015). Descriptive narratives is a form of qualitative research (Stangor, 2015). What may be an adequate supplement to the quantitative research on why this specific department was asking for more personnel is having people who the police run on write a descriptive narrative either on scene, or after the fact, about how a delay in response time exacerbated the situation or put them more in danger. Srinivasan et al. (2015) reveals if an officer arrives on scene within seven minutes of a crime, the crime is far more likely to be solved. One of the draw backs to minimum staffing is a delay in response time. Quantitative data may show the delay but qualitative data can personalize it. It can explain things like, I was revictimized by my abuser while waiting for the police for so long, or, a rape victim left the scene waiting too long for the police to come, or the robber who broke into my home got away. This powerful testimony can go a long way in influencing goverment bodies allocating funds.
