Instructions
Write a review of one of the plays on film offered on “The List” below. You need to offer a critical perspective of the acting, directing, and design taking advantage of the theatrical language you have learned in this course. It also should give us basic information about the film/play and share general observations from the perspective of an audience member.
Your critique must include:
Develop a strong HEADLINE for your review. Throughout the piece find ways of tying back into the premise of your headline (ex. New Play by John Smith a Frightening Masterpiece). Obviously the writer of this headline will emphasize why they thought the production was so scary and why they think the writing is worthy of the term masterpiece.
Paragraphs covering each of these 5 elements:
The Basic Information
Name of film, where it is available, how long it ran, and a short (couple of sentences) synopsis.
The Acting/Singing
A couple of performances positive or negative (+ or -) which stood out in your mind. Name the performers. Provide relevant background on them.
The Direction
Did the director stage the peice effectively? Was the story and the narrative clear? Present a couple of examples (+ or -). Name the director. Provide relevant background on this person.
The Design
Did the production design, music choices suit the film, the period, and the production. A couple of strong examples (+ or -). Who was on the production team? What have they designed before?
Your Overall Reaction
Was this a thumbs up or thumbs down? Was it a great film, too long, too short, could you understand it, (+ or -), etc??
Writing that makes it evident that you DEFINITELY SAW THIS FILM. Avoid speaking in generalities or attempting to load up the paper with synopsis or other materials readily available online. Read the articles provided on criticism, critical writing, and reviews in major publication (NY Times) as a way of understanding this form.
A clear critical POINT-OF-VIEW. Again, read the articles provided on criticism, critical writing, and reviews in major publication (NY Times) as a way of understanding this form.
Utilize the theatrical language you have learned in this course. Talk about the 5 elements using the vocabulary presented in learning activities in this course.
Reviews must be 100% your original writing. Do not quote or paraphrase and source. Reviews will be checked for plagiarism and ANY sequence of words (longer than 12 words) that matches any source or previous student review will result in an automatic zero and referral to the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Reviews must be posted online as a Google+, YouTube, Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon, or other online review platform.
A screen-shot of your posted review must be submitted with your text in this assignment area (NOT A LINK TO THE REVIEW).20 points (of 100) will be deducted if there is not proof you have posted an online review. Please allow processing time for some websites or take a screenshot of your submission page BEFORE you hit submit.
This review must be a minimum of 700 words. Remember papers that reflect minimum writing effort get average grades.
Important Note About Authorship:
One feature common to many pieces written by or with the assistance of AI are sentences that run-on, contain mixed participles, confused noun/pronoun combinations, and other grammar that is best described as “gobbledygook.” I simply won’t grade papers that contain multiple sentences like this. The entire paper will be returned to you ungraded. You will have an opportunity to proof-read the paper, and return it free of these mistakes. I will not remind you to do this. If you do not return the paper in corrected form as soon as possible, you will receive a zero for this assignment and potentially fail the course.

Exploring the Foundations of Psychological Assessment: Intriguing Aspects and Potential Concerns
The second part of this week’s discussion revolves around the introduction of psychological assessment. Namely, in reviewing the course readings for the week, as well as any ancillary research you discover, what aspects of psychological assessment stand out the most to you? What seems most interesting? What seems somewhat concerning? What are some aspects of psychological assessment that you look forward to exploring?

Part 2: What aspects of psychological assessment stand out the most to you? What seems most interesting? What seems somewhat concerning? What are some aspects of psychological assessment that you look forward to exploring?
As the old saying goes, knowledge is power and early in the 19th century, France agreed making it a law for free education for all. While educating all those now lawfully entitled to learn, teachers realized there were many sorts of students having numerous levels of learning capability; some strong learners and some with disabilities. This realization led to the need for student assessments of intellectual ability and this would allow students to be better placed in school based on that specific ability. Not only did educational systems realize the need for assessments, the US military needed them as well in order to measure the emotion and intellectual capabilities of those coming in to serve. Thus, assessment and testing measures were born, allowing those systems to measure areas such as personality, brain functioning, work performance, and psychological and social functioning.
According to our readings this week, there are four pillars of assessment: norm-referenced tests, interviews, observations, and informal assessment procedures. The most interesting to me are probably the observations. Human behavior is one of the most intriguing events in my opinion because you never know what you are going to get from someone. You can try to predict one’s behavior or assume they may do this or that, but every second of the day, someone out there is surprised by someone else’s behavior. Our readings remind us that psychological testing does not occur in a vacuum and what someone may say on interview data, that same person may act completely opposite when observed physically. Behavior can range from consistent to completely abnormal for humans and depending on the environment, human behavior can shift from normal to not. This intrigues me, especially the social realm and social functioning. I look forward to exploring all pillars of the assessment so that I can form an accurate conclusion and adequate diagnosis. -

Health inequities result in poor health outcomes creating a burden on clients, families, and communities. One of the areas of impact is in life expectancy. Several factors impact life expectancy, including genetics, race, socioeconomic status, and lifestyle choices. Surprisingly, one of the most significant predictors of life expectancy is zip code. View this brief videoLinks to an external site. on the correlation of zip code to life expectancy. Then, follow the directions below to gather information for your initial discussion post. You may gather information for your home county or for the area in which you intend to practice.
Application of Course Knowledge:
