Monica and Jennifer are coworkers that have been assigned to work on a project together. Jennifer is very organized and wants her and Monica to do really well on this project.

Touchstones are projects that illustrate your comprehension of the course material, help you refine skills, and demonstrate application of knowledge. You can work on a Touchstone anytime, but you can’t submit it until you have completed the unit’s Challenges and Milestones. Once you’ve submitted a Touchstone, it will be graded and counted toward your final course score.
As you continue to practice the concepts of psychology throughout the duration of the course, you will further develop the problem-solving and self and social awareness skills that are necessary in order to help you better navigate through social situations as they may arise in your personal life as well as your career. You may improve upon the means to apply these skills towards understanding individual behaviors, relationships, and making informed decisions based on reliable information. You may recognize that no matter what kind of situation you encounter at school, home, or work, you have better learned how to recognize and manage your emotions, so that they do not get in the way of your better judgement.
Touchstone 3.2: Workplace Styles
SCENARIO: Monica and Jennifer are coworkers that have been assigned to work on a project together. Jennifer is very organized and wants her and Monica to do really well on this project. To get started, Jennifer took some initiative and prepared a list of to-do items along with the due dates. She even color-coded the list to indicate who will do which item. Shortly after, Jennifer sends an email to Monica with the to-do list attached. Jennifer wants her partner to know that she is serious about their success.
Monica is happy her teammate has shown initiative but is surprised by Jennifer’s to-do list and feels a bit uncomfortable as she is feeling like Jennifer is micromanaging her. Monica wants to do her part on the project but is feeling anxious because she doesn’t know where she fits in. Monica is worried about working on the project. She wonders if she can succeed in this project since Jennifer is already the leader. Prior to this situation, Monica worked for a separate employer who asked her to work on a similar project. She felt anxious about her ability to successfully complete the project and attempted to communicate her feelings with a co-worker. However, her co-worker didn’t seem to understand Monica’s concerns and said that she should just ignore her feelings and get the work done.
As Monica ponders having a conversation with Jennifer, she starts to feel overwhelmed and thinks it might just be easier to be removed from the project.
ASSIGNMENT: Now, it is time to practice the skills and concepts that you have learned to help your friend Monica navigate through a difficult workplace situation. Using your problem solving and self and social awareness skill, as well as what you have learned about personality traits and emotions, answer the questions in this case study assignment. Remember, you are to help Monica calm her anxiety and find a solution to her problem

A. Assignment
DIRECTIONS: To complete the assignment, you will answer the following four questions in 5-7 sentences each:
What are the “Big 5” personality traits? Name and describe each of them, using specific details and information from the case study and course lessons.
Consider the different approaches to the project taken by both Monica and Jennifer. On which of the Big 5 personality traits do they most differ? Discuss these differences in their personality traits.
Using what you learned about emotions, what advice would you give to Monica? Describe a specific strategy that Monica can use to manage her emotions and successfully complete the project.
If you were in this situation, how confident are you that you could successfully resolve a workplace conflict like the one that Monica faced? What past experiences or knowledge influence your answer? Explain how your experience or knowledge can resolve a similar workplace conflict.

For this assignment, you will be assigned an article from the peer-reviewed literature that describes an epidemiological study. You will use that article to complete a Critically Assessed Study

For this assignment, you will be assigned an article from the peer-reviewed literature that describes an epidemiological study. You will use that article to complete a Critically Assessed Study Article FORM, in which you will provide a summary of the study by explaining the following:
Study purpose (This should be a full sentence. Remember, anytime you use the authors’ words, you must use quotation marks.)
Study design (What study design that is the focus of this exercise??)
Describe the source of the data and the study sample
Primary measure (Sometimes there will be more than 1 primary measure. However, for the purposes of this assignment, choose just the one that you believe is most important and explain why you made that choice. Remember that for our purposes, a measure is the construct (such as glycemic control, or depression, or tuberculosis) that we are measuring, NOT the instrument (such as a PDQ-9) or lab test (such as the HbA1C test) used to measure it.)
Statistical Test used for the primary measure (It should be Odds Ratio). (If it is something else, then you need to contact your instructor.)
Complete the 2×2 table using only the data from the study for the primary measure you were assigned. You will insert the appropriate numbers into the 2×2 table that was used in the study to arrive at the crude (unadjusted) OR reported. (The 2×2 table can be found in the 9th chapter of the textbook, page 254.)
Calculation of the crude (unadjusted) OR. You will put the numbers from the 2×2 table you constructed into the OR formula to show how the resulting OR was derived. (This formula can be found in the 9th chapter of the textbook on page 253.) All of the articles that were chosen for this assignment were chosen because they do report the crude (unadjusted) OR for your assigned variables somewhere in the article so you are able to check your table and calculations to ensure that you have come up with the correct number.
Interpretation of the measure of association for this study. You will explain how the above measure of association is interpreted for this study. The textbook helps you understand how to interpret the OR results.
Discussion of the advantages of using case-control designs. (You can get this from your book.)
Discussion of the limitations of using case-control designs. (You can get this from your book.)
Discussion of bias (information and selection biases) and confounding for this particular study. (See example provided.)
Description of any methods used in the study for minimizing bias and confounding, or methods that could have been used, but weren’t. (See example provided.)
There is an example article and completed form available to you in the Case Study module. You must examine that as a model for the one you will complete for your assigned article. Using this model is the best way for you to understand what is expected of your for this assignment.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. The DUE date for this assignment is Sunday, March 10th. However, if you want to spend your Spring Break working on it, I will allow you to submit it up to Sunday, March 17th, without penalty. After March 17th, it will NOT be accepted!
2. As you know, your scores on your competencies do not impact your grades. However, your grades can impact the scoring on you competencies. Below is the criteria being used to score your L3. Analytical Thinking competency:
My criteria for awarding a “1”: I use your Individual Epidemiology Case Study and your Group Term Project scores – if you score at least a 70, but less than an 85, you will be awarded a “1” (basic level). Anything less than an 70, receives a “0”. A “0” or a “1” means that you did not meet the target level for this competency for this course.
My criteria for awarding a “2”: If you score at least an 85, but less than an 95, you will be awarded a “2” (intermediate level) and will have met the target for this competency for this course.
My criteria for awarding a “3”: There are some similarities between the intermediate and advanced level of this competency, but it really has to do with the complexity of the analysis being conducted by the student. Most students in this class do achieve the basic/intermediate level, but it will be fairly rare for a student to achieve the advanced level during this course. I will be using the same assignments as stated above – if the average of these assignments is at least a 95 or above, you will be awarded a “3” (advanced level) and will have exceeded the target for this competency for this course.

From the PDF identify at least 3 barriers to physical activity and/or healthy dietary choices. List the barriers and provide examples of a modification plan to overcome these barriers. Choose ONE of the plans and develop into a personalized SMART goal.
Example:
Barrier #1: Lack of Time: I often find myself saying that I would work out if I had time, but it always seems like there’s something else I need to be doing that takes my time away from working out. Plan: create a weekly schedule that allows time to work out and then stick to the schedule.
Barrier #2: Lack of energy: I will usually feel tired in the morning or evening when I would want to be working out. Plan: go to bed earlier and wake up earlier, drink coffee if I still have no energy in the morning.
Barrier #3: Lack of convenience for healthy food: Much of the food on or around campus is fast food and is not very healthy, but it is convenient. Plan: make a trip to the grocery store once a week and stock up on items that I can use to make healthier meals.
S.M.A.R.T. goal for Barrier #1:
S (Specific): I will use scheduling software (i.e. google calendar or other), to find time in my schedule to add workouts. I will find at least three days to work out per week.
M (Measurable): I will work out three times a week for at least 60 minutes each time.
A (Attainable): I am a student so I have access to the ARC. I also have workout attire and know how to use scheduling software to manage my time.
R (Relevant): Because I would like to improve my health, exercising three times a week will help me to do so.
T (Time Bound): I will continue this goal until the end of the semester and assess whether I can modify the goal to add more workouts or not.
