Students are to first read the Duron, Johnson, Hage, & Postmus (2021) article on coercive control (found in Module 11). After reading the article, apply what you learned to the case study listed below.
Be sure to cite the article in correct APA format in your responses. The proper way to cite within the text of a document is to add the citation in parentheses as is exemplified here (Duron, Johnson, Hage, & Postmus, 2021). Note that the parentheses appears at the end of the sentence before the punctuation.
CASE STUDY
Lynette has been married to James for 11 years. The couple have two children (Samantha and Xavier), both under the age of five. They live in a two-story house in the country. James works at home and Lynette is a full-time homemaker. James’ mother lives about 14 miles away, but Lynette’s family lives three hours away. The couple do not have any close friends. Lynette had friends when she first met James, but over time those friendships dwindled due to the fact that James didn’t like Lynette spending time away from him.
The first time James was physically abusive to Lynette he slapped her across the face when she questioned why she couldn’t have more money for the groceries. Getting the groceries was the only time Lynette was away from James for any length of time and his birthday was coming up. She was hoping to pick him up a small gift and asked for a little extra money that week. When he asked why she didn’t have a good reason she just asked why she couldn’t have more. His response was to slap her across the face. Since then, slapping and punching Lynette has become a regular response when she does something that he doesn’t like.
Lynette has thought about leaving James, but she doesn’t have any savings of her own, a car of her own, and having two children under the age of five makes achieving these things difficult. Also, Lynette worries about what James would do if she tried to leave him. He controls everything about her life and when he loses any of that control, he gets very angry and more violent.
One night when James is out playing poker with other men in the neighborhood Lynette calls her mother to talk and vent about her situation. Her mother, exasperated over the fact that they’ve had this same conversation for years, says “I don’t understand why you don’t wait until he’s asleep and then take the kids and walk out the door!”
How would you explain to Lynette’s mother (and others) why it isn’t that easy to leave [base your responses on what you learn from the Duron et al. (2021) reading]?
What reasons would you provide?
What would you recommend that her mother (and anyone that cares about Lynette) should do instead of saying ‘why don’t you leave’?

Chapters 11 & 12
Overview:
After going over the basics of both chapters, I see chapter 11 should be interesting to learn about the reconciliation which I need to know about for the last part on the 1004 form. Chapter 12 dwells into the function of an appraisal report, like what is stands for and the whole purpose of an appraisal report. In all the prep I think I will gain more vital key concepts on appraisals and the reports.
Chapter 11:
A reconciliation is the term that has two similar, but different meanings to them. “Reconciliation refers to the particular step in the appraisal process when the appraiser arrives at a final opinion,” (Huber, p. 344). A reconciliation also is required in three types of situations such as in different comparable properties, different units of comparison, and different appraisal techniques.
Chapter 12: In chapter 12, there is a definition called scope of work rule that caught my eye. It is pretty much the amount of necessary research and reporting that is required for a credible report, (pg. 361). There are also oral and written appraisal reports as well, like the federal loan transactions must be written, however, both written and oral reports can be in the form of an appraisal report or a restricted report which is something I didn’t know, but good to know now.
Chapter 11: Going back to chapter 11, I wanted to get into reconciliation again, after reading the process of doing it caught my attention. The process of reconciliation starts with reviewing the appraisal, that goes to extent of double checking, assess the reliability of the given value indicator, and to consider all relevant data, (pg.347). The level of accuracy plays a role as well being the quality of a value indicator. Then lastly, there is relevance which influences the appraisers judgement as it is passed on the reconciliation judgment for the final value.
Summary: For both chapters being pretty short, I learned a great deal of information from reconciliation to opinion of value. Then also in chapter 12 from the function of an appraisal report, the scope of work rule, and an overview of the three pages of the uniform residential appraisal report (URAR). I understood both chapters and going on to really understand the full basics of appraisals.

Critical Reflection Papers: analyze the readings, as well as lecture content or documentaries viewed . demonstrate that both comprehend the readings and that they can compare the readings and analyze the common themes across the readings and other course content. These essays are not research papers however, you can draw upon sources or empirical evidence from beyond the course readings. These essays are not mere summaries of the readings; the purpose is to develop a critical analysis of the material and an original and critical ‘take’ or argument on the week’s content to broader themes discussed and studied in the course. The papers must be a minimum of between 1200-1500 words in length (not including the bibliography).

Students are expected to prepare a critical review (1000- 1500 words) of the doc

Students are expected to prepare a critical review (1000- 1500 words) of the documentary Crip Camp (2020). The review should: a) analyze the film through the lens of specific course readings assigned (naming and citing which reading(s) you are referencing). This requires you explain specific ideas from the readings and not just the readings’ main arguments/ themes; b) engage key discussions, and/or assess what the film is attempting (and/or how it is doing so) in terms of key elements such as content, racial and gender codings, argumentation, cultural significance, and/or method.
Writing the Film Review (same as previous assignment)
1) Introduction- In the opening of your review, provide some basic information about the film. Consider the following questions: Who is the filmmaker? What does the film set out to do? How does it do so? Your introduction, which may be longer than one paragraph, should also begin to evaluate the film, and it should allude to the central concept of the review. A film review does not have to contain a thesis or main claim, but it should focus on a central analysis and assessment.
2) Description- In roughly a paragraph include a more detailed description of your particular cinematic experience watching the film. This may include your personal impression of what the film looks, feels, and sounds like. In other words, what stands out in your mind when you think about this particular film?
3) Analysis- How does the thematic content (such as history, race, beauty, gender, sexuality, class, or the ability) affect your experience and interpretation? Also, do the formal techniques work to forward the thematic content? Consider the way in which the footage is spliced together. Does it ‘flow’ from shot to shot? Does the organization of the film enhances or disrupt the narrative and plot? How does the content of the documentary fit into course themes? Is it important for understanding inequality? How does the film comment on, reinforce, or even critique social and political issues at the time it was released, including questions of inequality and the media?
This assignment is designed to build on the lessons learned from the first film review assignment. The key difference between the first review and this review: 1) length: this review is longer at 1000-1500 words; 2) sources: you can use ANY course materials to develop your analysis; 3) optional use of outside sources: you may wish to bring in outside sources to analyze the film. This is fine, so long as the passages you cite are not from reviews of the film. If you do cite a review of the film it should ONLY be for contextual information or information on reception, and not for analysis.
The purpose of this assignment is to help students further develop their critical engagement with cultural products and, as such, this review should be analytical/theoretical in nature. As with the first assignment, while students should engage the central argument and main point of the film, these responses are not meant to be merely summaries of the film.
Rather they should: a) analyze the film through the lens of specific course readings assigned throughout the course (naming and citing which reading(s) you are referencing). Your review should examine how the film addresses/ relates/ troubles ideas such as those raised in our discussions throughout the course. b) engage key discussions, and/or assess what the particular film is attempting (and/or how it is doing so) in terms of key elements such as content, racial and gender codings, argumentation, cultural significance, and/or method.
Formal requirements:
Word count: 1000-1550 words excluding bibliography.
Double-space text, 12 pt, Times New Roman.
Use MLA or Chicago citation and document formatting conventions. If you must use another citation convention, please be consistent!
Avoid lengthy direct quotations.

BRE 120, Real Estate Appraisal Salma Caceres 11/28/2023Huber & Messick Chapter #11 & 12OverviewThe process an appraiser uses after applying the three approaches to value is reconciliation.
Chapter 11 focuses on Reconciliation and Final Value Opinion, mentioning the use of reconciliation in appraisals and the reconciliation process. Chapter 12 focuses on The Appraisal Report which is governed by standard 2 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the chapter goes over the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR).
Key Concept from Chapter 11
There are three types of situations where reconciliation is used in appraisals. The first step is when there are different comparable properties, different units of comparison, and different appraisal techniques (pg.345). On page 345 it also says that it is common for appraisers to reconcile value from different comparables when comparable sales data is used in an appraisal reconciliation is required every time. For the sales comparison approach, it is common to have reconciliation as a requirement when different units of comparison are used.
Key Concept from Chapter 11
Unlike the past methods we’ve read about reconciliation isn’t a mathematical process instead it evaluates the evidence of the different value indicators and comes to a fair conclusion according to the value of the subject property (pg.346). Under Chapter 11 we see the two steps of reconciliation, that help the appraiser come to a reasonable conclusion. The two steps of the process are reviewing the processes that led to the different value indicators and making the reconciliation judgment (pg.347). The process has the base of reviewing and double checking every step taken is perfect, with no mistakes.
Key Concept from Chapter 12
Chapter 12 explains the URAR, going into the role of every page and section of the report; it is the most common report that is used in the appraisal industry. The first page of the report has 5 sections. The first section is the subject section, like the property address name of the borrowers, owner of a public record, etc. (pg. 363). The second section explains the current Contract of Sale, details like contract price and the date of the contract are expected (pg.364). Going to the third section we read about the neighborhood section, where the property is located. Section 4 is the site section and section 5 is the improvement section. The sections go over in detail the state of the property.
SummaryChapters 11 and 12 help us understand what reconciliation is and the function of every section in the URAR, both necessary tools needed for appraisals. It is interesting to keep reading about the accuracy of the data needed to make reasonable decisions of value as an appraiser. Overall these Chapters help us understand some of the last processes an appraiser would need to take.
