Based off “Innocent Man” by John Grisham

Example he used:
INNOCENT MAN HYPOTHESIS = a hunch or a belief in who committed the crime—- all investigators do this

Ada Police hypothesis = Ron and Dennis committed the crime Was this a legitimate hypothesis initially = YES Based on? 1. Ron’s previous arrest
2. The belief 2 people committed the crime 3. Ron’s rather questionable background —- drinking, violence etc.
Evaluate Hypothesis = should it have been rejected? YES Why? Based on the inadequate amount of evidence that never clearly rose too Probable Cause or Beyond a Reasonable Doubt. When hypothesis is evaluated and rejected —- you then? Experiment with another hypothesis (Glen Gore). Evidence was changed or altered, other evidence was ignored, and other suspects namely Glen Gore were never investigated properly even though the possible leads (witnesses at the bar) were always available. Was the Ron and Denis pursued due to vindictiveness or incompetence? Was ignoring other leads due to an intentional purpose to ignore this lead? Or incompetence?

I would like the paper to be about two important Artists in the Italian Renaissance and how their work is different, effected society, important art pieces, new techniques developed, and so on. Basically a thesis about the Italian Art Renaissance and how the artists played a role in the culture and techniques.

There is no specific restriction on the material or artists however I would prefer if one of the artists is Leonardo Da Vinci and an artists of your choice.

You must use at least 3 academic sources from the AUD library, one of which must be your textbook.

The Text Book is: Arts & Culture: An Introduction to the Humanities

(Janetta Benton & Robert DiYanni, Arts & Culture: An Introduction to the Humanities combined volume, 4th edition)

Preparation
This assessment requires you to identify a topic to research and then to examine the results and methods of two studies on the selected topic. The topic must be an emotion and its effect on goal-directed motivation.

An important skill in conducting research is to narrow the focus of your topic to keep the content manageable and to facilitate finding supportive evidence. To identify a topic:

Select a positive or negative emotion that has an effect on goal-directed motivation, and then begin to narrow the focus of the topic.
Continue to narrow the focus of your topic with consideration for other relevant factors, such as age of the research subjects (adults versus children), their gender, their educational level, or other demographic or topical factors. Your goal is to identify a research topic that is appropriately narrow and can be sharply defined, and for which research is available.
Do some preliminary research to ensure that you have sufficient sources for your topic. You must locate at least two peer-reviewed research journal articles on your chosen topic from the Capella library. To find sources, select key words and enter them into the Summon search engine in the Capella University Library. If you do not find sufficient resources, revise the focus of your topic and try again.
Finally, develop a working title for your paper (for example, “The Benefits of Hope in Peak Work Performance” or “Effects of Depression on Adolescent Academic Performance”) that addresses the narrowed and manageable research topic.
After you identify a topic, select two studies to use as the focus for your paper.

Instructions
For this assessment, write a paper in which you complete the following:

Describe, based upon current research, the effect of a selected negative or positive emotion on goal-directed motivation.
Describe how the negative or positive emotion addressed by current research affects the biological, learned, and cognitive components of goal-directed motivation.
Compare and contrast the research methods used in the two selected studies. What is the purpose of these studies? What are the research questions to be answered by these studies? Do the research results address the research questions?
Identify the tools (interviews, surveys, questionnaires) and technologies (telephone, audio/videotapes, Internet) that were used in the selected studies.
Conclude with what you learned from this research and how it may inform or describe your personal or professional behavior in similar circumstances.
Additional Requirements
Your paper should meet the following requirements:

Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA sixth edition style and formatting.
Number of resources: At least 3 scholarly academic resources are included.
Length of paper: The length is a minimum of 5 typed, double-spaced pages, not including the title page and reference list.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point font is used.

Preparation
For this assessment, assume that your work organization has asked for your help in improving employee work performance. Surveys have determined that some employees struggle with test anxiety while others struggle with competition arousal, both of which prevent peak performance. Conduct research to identify:

Biological, learned, and cognitive factors that might be affecting the employees’ reactions to stress in the environment.
Motivation techniques, such as rewards or praise, that can be used to manage the stress and improve peak performance.
Instructions
Create a PowerPoint presentation on the topic of 1) peak performance and test anxiety or 2) peak performance and competition arousal. Include a script in the notes section of each slide detailing what you would say to an audience about that slide. In the presentation, complete the following:

Describe the topic you are addressing and its impact on employee performance. That is, demonstrate how test anxiety or competition arousal affects peak performance in the employee work situation.
Describe the biological, learned, and cognitive components of evaluation arousal in the employee work situation.
Recommend motivation techniques—supported by the literature—for managing test anxiety or competition arousal to improve peak performance.
In the final slide or slides, compile and present a list of five resources that would help the organization understand the connection between stress, health, motivation, and performance. These resources must be scholarly resources from the Capella library or from reputable professional organizations (for example, American Psychological Association, American Medical Association) found on the Internet.
Additional Requirements
Your presentation should meet the following requirements:

Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA sixth edition style and formatting.
Number of resources: At least 3 scholarly academic resources supporting the presentation content, and five scholarly or professionally reputable resources listed as potential resources for the organization to use, are included in the presentation.
Number of presentation slides: The presentation includes a minimum of 8 slides, excluding the title slide and bibliography slide(s) of references.
Presentation notes: Each slide includes the presenter’s script (what you would say during the presentation) in the notes section of the slide.

Assessment Preparation
Select one of the following three broad areas of behavior:

Eating behaviors.
Intimacy behaviors.
Drug use and addiction behaviors.
Then identify a research topic associated with behavioral area you selected. An important skill in conducting research is to narrow the focus of your topic to keep the content manageable and to facilitate finding supportive evidence. To identify a properly narrow topic:

Begin with your selected behavior and start to narrow the focus. See examples of topics listed below. You may use one of the examples or identify your own.
Continue to narrow the focus of your topic with consideration for other relevant factors, such as age of the research subjects (adults versus children), their gender, their educational level, or other demographic or topical factors. Your goal is to identify a research topic that is appropriately narrow and can be sharply defined, and for which research is available.
Do some preliminary research to ensure that you have sufficient sources for your topic. To find sources, select key words and enter them into the Summon search engine in the Capella University Library. If you do not find sufficient resources, revise the focus of your topic and try again.
Finally, develop a working title for your paper (for example, “Motivational Factors in Adolescent Females With Anorexia”) that addresses the narrowed and manageable research topic.
Examples of Topics
Eating behaviors.
Normal hunger and eating patterns.
Cravings for certain foods or food-like substances.
Compulsive eating (obesity).
Dieting or controlled eating.
Eating disorders (anorexia).
Intimacy behaviors.
