SOC 490 ACADEMIC PROFESSOR/TUTORIALRANK SOC 490 Week 1 Capstone Topic Selection SOC 490 Entire Course SOC 490 Week 1 DQ 1 Personal and Professional Relevance SOC 490 Week 1 DQ 2 Methodology for Selecting a Sample Population SOC 490 Week 1 Capstone Topic Selection SOC 490 Week 2 DQ 1 Social Theories SOC 490 Week 2 DQ 2 Annotated Bibliography Best Practices SOC 490 Week 2 Annotated Bibliography SOC 490 Week 3 DQ 1 Psychological Perspectives on Social Issues SOC 490 Week 3 DQ 2 Psychological Reflections on Online Academic Dynamics SOC 490 Week 1 Capstone Topic Selection Capstone Project Topic Selection. Read the final Capstone Project instructions in the “Components of Course Evaluation” section of this guide or in the Week Five section of your online course. Each week’s assignment will be a major component of the Capstone Project. Chapters 1 through 3 will guide you in the process of outlining your topic. Identify and describe a key issue that affects a specific population. a. Who is affected by this issue? b. How are they affected by this issue? Evaluate the population that is affected by the issue.

  3. SOC 490 ACADEMIC PROFESSOR/TUTORIALRANK SOC 490 Week 1 DQ 2 Methodology for Selecting a Sample Population SOC 490 Week 1 DQ 1 Personal and Professional Relevance SOC 490 Week 1 DQ 2 Methodology for Selecting a Sample Population Methodology for Selecting a Sample Population. Your Capstone Project will focus on a specific sample population for future research. In this discussion, you will need to do two things. First, explain the attributes of the sample population that you plan to study. Then explain the research methodology you will use to study that population. Will you use a quantitative approach, qualitative approach, or a mixture of both? Which approach do you find most valuable and why? SOC 490 Week 1 DQ 1 Personal and Professional Relevance Personal and Professional Relevance. Your research proposal for your Capstone Project should be written on a topic in which you feel an investment and that also is relevant to fields within the social sciences. What relevance does this issue have in your own life? Does it relate to your interests, and if so, how does it relate? What is your connection to the population you are researching? If the issue does not have relevance to you or you do not have a connection with the population, explain why not. What is the goal of your research?

  4. SOC 490 ACADEMIC PROFESSOR/TUTORIALRANK SOC 490 Week 2 DQ 1 Social Theories SOC 490 Week 2 Annotated Bibliography SOC 490 Week 2 DQ 1 Social Theories Social Theories. There are three primary social theories (functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism) which are used to evaluate social problems. In this discussion board, you are to evaluate the chosen issue/problem that you identified for your Capstone Project from these perspectives. Describe how a functionalist, a conflict theorist, and someone ascribing to symbolic interactionism would explain the key issue and the factors that have led to this issue. Remember that you can draw on what you have learned from your previous courses as well as acceptable academic sources to refresh your memory on these theories and then apply them to your selected issue SOC 490 Week 2 Annotated Bibliography Annotated Bibliography. The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to assist you in developing research analysis skills including critical thinking, writing, and literature research skills. Using the feedback that you received from the assignments and the ideas that emerged in discussions from Week One, focus your research on the specific population you selected and the issue that you connected to this population.

  5. SOC 490 ACADEMIC PROFESSOR/TUTORIALRANK SOC 490 Week 3 DQ 1 Psychological Perspectives on Social Issues SOC 490 Week 2 DQ 2 Annotated Bibliography Best Practices SOC 490 Week 3 DQ 1 Psychological Perspectives on Social Issues Psychological Perspectives on Social Issues. A large portion of the social science major is dedicated to the study of individual, group, and social psychology. Social psychology examines how the thoughts and behaviors of individual humans are influenced by the thoughts and behaviors of other humans in the various social groups in which they find themselves. Individual psychological theories focus more on individuals and the thoughts and behaviors that they manifest as relatively autonomous individuals SOC 490 Week 2 DQ 2 Annotated Bibliography Best Practices Annotated Bibliography Best Practices. As you approach the end of your academic journey, think back to all the research that you have put into this accomplishment. You have been writing and honing your communication skills throughout your academic tenure. This week your assignment is to create an annotated bibliography. In this discussion board, please present the five most important things you have learned about research in your field of study over your time at Ashford.

  6. SOC 490 ACADEMIC PROFESSOR/TUTORIALRANK SOC 490 Week 3 Proposal for Statistical Research Project SOC 490 Week 3 DQ 2 Psychological Reflections on Online Academic Dynamics SOC 490 Week 3 Proposal for Statistical Research Project Proposal for Statistical Research Project. Having identified a population, an issue/problem that relates to that specific population, and then gathered academic resources that relate to the issue, you will now be asked to propose a statistical research project that directly relates to the social issue you identified for your selected population. Pay special attention to Chapter 7 of the text as well, as it has excellent information on variables that one can adequately test and general designs for experimentation involving statistical analysis SOC 490 Week 3 DQ 2 Psychological Reflections on Online Academic Dynamics Psychological Reflections on Online Academic Dynamics. Having studied group and individual psychological theories, as a follow up to this week’s first discussion, analyze your online academic experience from one of the perspectives found in social psychology.

  7. SOC 490 ACADEMIC PROFESSOR/TUTORIALRANK SOC 490 Week 4 DQ 2 Ethical Research in the Social Sciences SOC 490 Week 4 DQ 1 Ramifications of a Solution SOC 490 Week 4 DQ 2 Ethical Research in the Social Sciences Ethical Research in the Social Sciences. Find the most interesting, bizarre, or blatant example of a violation of good ethical conduct in research in the social sciences. Explain the experiment. What theories, ideas, behaviors, or phenomena were being analyzed? What were the attributes of the population that the researchers chose to use for their experiments? What did they do to the population over the course of the experiments? After you have explained the experiment and its procedure, then provide an argument that displays why this research methodology was unethical. Remember to support your arguments with factual evidence and logical reasoning. SOC 490 Week 4 DQ 1 Ramifications of a Solution Ramifications of a Solution. If the key issue that you are researching were solved, what would be the historical, psychological, ethical, and social ramifications of this solution? How would the course of history change if this issue were resolved? How would the group psychology of the population you are studying change or how would it need to change in order to solve the problem? How would the ethical relationships within this group or surrounding this group change if this key issue were resolved? And finally, what would be the ramifications in society at large if there was a resolution to this key issue/problem? Would these be positive or negative? Both? 

  8. SOC 490 ACADEMIC PROFESSOR/TUTORIALRANK SOC 490 Week 5 DQ 1 Final Reflection SOC 490 Week 5 Capstone Project SOC 490 Week 5 DQ 1 Final Reflection Final Reflection. This is the final discussion, and because there is only one this week, there will be many tasks. However, they should be quite enjoyable for most of you. In the following discussion, you will reflect on your overall academic experience. Remember that your answers will in no way influence your grade. Instead, they will be used as engines for reflection on what professors and course designers can do to strengthen this program and the components of this program. Please answer the following questions: a. What was the most useful or enjoyable class that was part of your major course curriculum (the courses in your major that are not general education courses)? Why was it the most useful or enjoyable? SOC 490 Week 5 Capstone Project Focus of the Capstone Project Develop a research paper, in which you analyze a key issue facing a population segment in order to propose an area for additional research. Your research will: Part I: Background a. Describe your chosen population segment. b. Explain one major social issue facing your selected population segment. § Provide statistics and background data to document the social issues facing your selected population segment.
