Please only submit your final project one time. You will not see anyone else’s projects until you submit your own. Then, you will be able to review your classmates’ projects as well. You are allowed to make comments or “like” their projects if you would like to give them some encouragement. You will submit the links and attach a copy of your final version of your essay here. When you have completed the assignment, you will submit the following in the reply area.

Digital Theme Poster (copy and paste link)

Historical Travel Brochure (copy and paste link)

Character Mindmap (copy and paste link)

Final version of essay (attach using paper clip icon)

A link to a video explaining your thoughts about the final project and what you learned (at least a minute or so) can be submitted for 10 bonus points, but it is not required.

hello

i have worked on a presentation about ergonomic and i got some review from my professor on it i will send you the review and the PPT and tell me if you can do it below is what i need to add:

1. Background – what is the problem you are trying to solve/evaluate? You can quote some of Sacha’s research on work design and the importance of ergonomic desks and chairs to reduce injury, optimize efficiency, and improve satisfaction.
2. Methods – what approach did you take for the evaluation? Here is where you can add the number of chairs/ desks you evaluated, what are the locations (classrooms on Catholic campus for example), who is the population you are trying to serve (students from undergraduate and graduate levels, faculty meetings?). What techniques did you use? Looks like you used basic ergonomic principles to evaluate – I would include a table showing the features (e.g., head and neck adjustment, arm rests)
3. Results – this is everything currently included (which looks great!). 7 and 8 seemed to be mixed up in slides 5 and 6. I suggest adding a summary slide showing the number of chairs and tables you evaluated. Are there some advantages you can point to as well?
4. Discussion – what have you learned and what are the suggestions for the school? Can you find a better design you would recommend? What is it about the design that is better?

The assignment requires you to go to a local open space area to make observations about the ecosystem and

the organisms that live there. You will use those observations to identify the organisms found in

the community, make a food web, and consider how changes to the climate could alter the

community of organisms that live there. To assess the work you have done, you will need to

write up a report and include all of the information you have gathered (including photos of the

identified organisms). The report must also include all answers for all of the assignment

questions.

All steps detailed below must completed to receive full credit. If you skip any steps you will only

receive credit for the work you have completed.

1) Pick a local open space preserve or county/state park. It needs to be a park that has wild

areas with native plants and animals around. Developed community parks with mowed lawns

and cultivated trees won’t work for this assignment. Identify the kind of ecosystem you are

visiting: Desert, chaparral, mountain forest, riparian….etc

2) Once you get to the park, find a hike or short walk to go on. While on your walk, find 5

different plants/alga to identify & 5 different animals (10 things total).

Take a picture or draw a detailed sketch of the plants/animals. Do your best to include a

good picture of both the leaves, stems and flowers (if they have any). You may need a

series of photos to accomplish this



Take time to observe any animals that are interacting with the plants or near by in the

environment. If possible try to get a photo of these organisms too. The goal is to

observe 5 different animals on or near the plants too.

3) 3) You need to identify the organisms you’ve found. If you are some place with a visitors center,

someone might be able to help you. Otherwise, try using an app like iNaturalist (this is a free

app).https://www.inaturalist.org/ You can download this app to your phone and upload your photos to the app. It can help ID the

organisms you’ve found.Another app that can help identify leaves (only) is: leafsnap (http://leafsnap.com/)

Once you have the organisms identified, you need to record both their scientific and common

names.

4) After identifying the organisms, create/illustrate a food web to show how these organisms fit

together in the ecosystem.

5) If you did not see any top level (3/tertiary consumers) come up with 3 more organisms that

could be found in the environment and include them in your food web too.

6) Lastly, imagine that over time the climate changes in this region, and it becomes warmer

with more unpredictable rain (could rain less in winter, more in summer or maybe rain very

infrequently, but when it does is torrential). How would a change in climate affect the food web

you created? What animals and plants would be negatively affected and which ones would be

positively affected?

Remember you need to answer all of the questions included in this assignment with complete

sentences. The more effort you put into the assignment, the better your score will be.

I was very nervous when i first signed up for this class due to politics can be very dirty and complicated but after taking this class i definitely feel that i am going to enjoy being part of the team after i retire.The one thing that i took away from this class was that politics plays a big roll in DHS. I learned a lot on how executive orders work and what impact it can have on the organizations or departments. I learned how complicated securing the border can be and how their are many loopholes that criminals and terrorist jump through to get to the U.S. to harm our citizens. Over all the first week was the most interesting because a lot of people talk about the constitution of the United States of America but not to many people bother to read it in its entirety. I found it very interesting in how our forefathers thought and cant imagine how much work went into these important documents.
