Hello , 
I have been given an opportunity to fix this assignment. I am requesting your review since you origninally provided it .
Here are the new instructions:
The final project consists of all the CORRECTED Mini-Projects #1, #2, #3, & #4.  Make all of the corrections based on the feedback received.  Highlight, highlight, and highlight any corrections in which you make to your mini-projects.  After you have made revisions for each area of the mini projects, write an explanation as to how and why each area is an important factor to move school performance.  
Here are the original instructions;
During this week of learning we will focus on the Social & Emotional Learning component for students.  I’m sure some are thinking why is social and emotional learning important in this data course?  This is a superb question and one that is very important to answer.  Social & emotional learning contributes to educating the whole child.  If educators focus solely on a student’s academic performance, and fail to consider the social and emotional aspect of the student, then educators are not truly addressing the student’s complete learning needs.  Studies show that addressing the social & emotional learning component of students increased their academic achievement by 11%.  This week, our data study will focus on developing social & emotional goals and strategies you will implement school wide.  An example is provided for your review.  If you have any questions, feel free to request additional guidance.  
# Goals / Objectives for Mini-Project #2 
1.  Select 3 of the 5 CASEL Social Emotional Learning Components
2. One overall goal for each social & emotional learning component
3. Two objective for each goal
4.  Multiple activities/strategy for each objective
Here is my feedback

Ms. Flowers,
You complete half of the required assignment .  The directions/instructions were very clear (see below).  You were asked to select 3 of the 5 CASEL Social Emotional Learning components NOT all 5.  Once you selected the 3 SEL components then you were asked to provide one goals for each, two objectives for each goal, and multiple activities/strategy for each objective.  You did not do what was asked.  You selected all five, provided a goal for all five, and only provided one objective.  Again, this was not the assignment requirements.  If you have any questions let me know and we can connect via zoom.  It is very important to follow the instructions and provide what is being requested.  Additionally, when possible provide stronger data sources.  You want to research survey or assessments that have proven results (research and name the surveys).  This teachers locate and utilize the resource(s) provided.  
# Goals / Objectives for Mini-Project #2

Analyze an issue currently debated in the measurement and assessment profession. Measurement and
assessment are difficult endeavors and, as with any profession, exhibit challenges debated among
professional colleagues. Choose an issue, review peer-reviewed research studies (qualitative, quantitative,
and/or mixed methods design), objectively analyze the debate, and express an informed opinion in a
research paper (3-4 pages, page count does not include title or reference pages). You may choose one of
the topics below or you may investigate a different instructor-approved debatable or controversial
educational assessment topic of your choice. A submission containing any level of plagiarism will receive
a grade of zero. AI use is detectable by TurnItIn.com and not permitted
Topic: 
Are Are stand Are standardized tests culturally biased and do they discriminate against minority groups?

For this assignment Context for Learning research the following school: Arts Impact Middle School (AIMS) https://www.ccsoh.us/aims
After you have researched consider the questions below and write a reflection as to from what you learned about the school after researching its demographic, athletic team, and score etc. 
Write the reflection on how you would use the information you gained from the research and such to teach the students there. Like how would you use it to improve the class or system etc. to help students and such based on the information you found about that school.
Based on the context you’ve been given, consider the following questions:
What do you know?
What assumptions can be made?
What do you still want to know?
What was surprising?
What are potential challenges?
What are potential strengths?
What assets can you imagine your students bring to your classroom?
Your reflection should be 1-2 pages in length and should be thorough, reflective, and clear. It should not be a SUMMARY.  You can also include resources from school webpages, principal messages, larger organizational bodies, and other resources. Please include insights from various readings regarding students and schools at this moment with attention to asset thinking. Also here is some background: I want to teach social studies because I love history! When I decided to major in history it made me realize that teaching is the best way for me to share what I am passionate about and find a career with. I want to help students see how exciting and important history can be and also to show them how it connects to our lives today.

Please complete the problems using Excel, answer the questions asked in Word, then submit both files. 
IMPORTANT: To ensure that your solution is visible in a SpeedGrader, please take a screenshot of your decision trees and submit these images together with your Excel file. Thank you!
Question 1
Mr. Brown is looking to invest some money in stock and has four possible options. After consulting with his financial planner, he has the following estimated values of his investment based on the various market outcomes:
SUA YSP HTC YHA
Investment Value Probability Investment Value Probability Investment Value Probability Investment Value Probability
$69,150 55% $65,820 50% $58,205 45% $57,250 65%
$48,375 30% $49,320 25% $52,940 35% $50,250 30%
$35,365 15% $46,765 25% $49,605 20% $45,250 5%
To assist Mr. Brown in his decision, build a decision tree and answer the following questions:
Which stock should Mr. Brown invest in and what is the expected monetary value of that decision?
Which stock has the worst expected monetary value?
How sensitive the optimal decision strategy is to changes in probabilities associated with YSP? Specifically, if the probability for $65,820 could vary anywhere between 40% and 60%, how would that affect an outcome of the tree? (Hint: replace 50% with a parameter function, change the lowest 25% to a formula that ensures all options total to 100%)
Question 2 
Excelia Inc. is planning to develop a new drug and has to make a series of decisions during its development. Since Excelia has already signed contracts to provide its drug, stopping the development would cost then $230,000. However, if they were to continue the development, the production costs are expected to be $606,000. If they invest these costs they would have to conduct clinical trials and there is only a 30% chance the drug is successful in these trials. If it isn’t successful, all invested money is lost. If it is successful, Excelia will have to seek FDA approval or stop development at this point. If they seek approval it will cost Excelia $25,000. There is a 60% chance the FDA will approve the drug and only a 40% chance they will not. Finally, if they approve the drug, there is various market potentials for the drug’s demand. There is a 60% chance the market is large with an expected revenue of $6,202,000, a 30% chance the market is moderately sized with an expected revenue of $2,389,000, and a 10% chance the market is only small with an expected revenue of $1,749,000.
Build a decision tree to model the decision process for Excelia Inc. and answer the following questions:
Which decision should Excelia make along the development process?
What is the expected monetary value of that decision?
