Document Summary

The final exam will be comprised of two essays. Each essay answer will be graded out of 100 marks. The average mark from both answers will constitute the final mark on the exam. Students are expected to write in full essay format, with the exception that direct references in the form of quotations and page numbers to the texts are not required. Students should be specific in their references to the relevant texts in their answers. Three of the five questions from part one will appear on the final examination, and students will be asked to answer one question. The question for part two of the examination is mandatory. Part one: answer any one of the following questions: in retrospective accounts of violent events by gun offenders (chapter. 4 of pogrebin text), and in street smarts and urban myths (chapter 7 of. Pogrebin text), the authors claim some allegiance to grounded theory .

Create a science lesson plan that involves insects. Use the 5E model from thepresentations and readings. You may come up with an original lesson plan or modify anexisting lesson plan, as long as it is not already in the format of the 5E model. If you usean existing lesson plan, paraphrase appropriately and acknowledge the source.

Title

Your title should summarize the lesson. Be mindful of the grade level! Itâs okay to be clever with the title, but be sure your title makes sense.

Objectives

Your lesson plan should focus on two or three learning objectives. Your learning objectives should describe what you want the students to know or be able to do when they complete your lesson. Be sure to follow the guidelines in the presentation on writing effective learning objectives!

Advanced Preparation

Provide a detailed explanation of the science content being developed in the lesson. Here, you as a teacher should demonstrate your understanding of the science being taught in the lesson. Assume the reader does not have this background knowledge.

Additionally, a teacher may have to prepare materials before the start of your lesson. In this section, please describe what the teacher needs to do before students arrive. If there are handouts, they need to be referenced in this section.

Researchers measured the blood pressures of 22 students in

two situations: when the students were relaxed and when the students were taking an

important examination. The file

systolic.txt

lists the systolic and diastolic pressures for

each student in each situation. Dataset is available at

systolic_url = "https://mcs.utm.utoronto.ca/~nosedal/data/systolic.txt"

Use R

to answer each of the following questions. You have to show

all your work

to get

full credit.

Answers, even if correct, with no justifications will not receive any

marks

Using R

, compute the change in systolic pressure by subtracting systolic pressure when

relaxed from systolic pressure during the exam; call this variable

Using R

, repeat part a) for diastolic pressure. Call the resulting variable

Using R

, make a scatterplot of

, fit a regression line to the data and add

this line to your plot. Use: 2 c) your last name as the main title for your plot. (In my

case it would be: 2 c) Nosedal).

Important note. Use

as your response variable and label horizontal and vertical axes.

d) What is the fitted regression model? Provide slope and y-intercept

, make a residual plot from the regression in part c). Does this plot call into

question the use of a linear model? Why?

Note. Use:

2 e) your last name

as the main title for your plot. (In my case it would

be:

2 e) Nosedal

f) Note the outlier in the residual plot (and on the scatterplot from part c)).

Using

, delete the outlier from the data set. Then repeat parts c) and e). Note. Use:

your last name

as the main title for your plots. (In my case it would be:

2 f ) Nosedal

g) What is the fitted regression model (after the outlier has been removed)? Provide slope

. Vouchers to Pay Private School
Tuition
Two conditions that justify government intervention in a market are the presence of external benefits and equity concerns. Both of these issues are present in the case of primary and secondary education in the United States. Think about what education without government education would look like. In the absence of government intervention, all primary and secondary education in the US would be private. Public school districts would not exist. Parents would need to pay private firms (schools) to educate their children.

External benefits

If all education were private, itâs likely that people would buy too little education, from societyâs point of view. External benefits are one reason. When a child is educated, he or she benefits and we expect his or her parents to take those benefits into account when they purchase education. But there are additional benefits to society which parents may ignore. As people become more educated, they are less likely to be unemployed or be criminals and are more likely to volunteer and vote. The presence of these external benefits is an example in support for the government getting involved in education.

Equity

Many families in the United States have low incomes. Among all children in first through twelfth grades in 2001, 46% were from families with incomes below $40,000. Since the cost of private education would be an important share of these familiesâ incomes, most Americans would be concerned about the fairness of relying on markets to decide how much education children receive. Current spending by these families on private education provides some support for this concern. Of all children in private school in 2001, only 25% were from families with incomes below $40,000. Therefore, equity concerns are another example in support for government getting involved in education.

Providing vs. producing education

Most economists think external benefits and equity concerns justify government intervention in education. But it is important to distinguish between government production of education and other forms of government intervention. At the level of elementary and secondary education, K- 12 education, government intervention today mostly means production of education by local school districts. To benefit, children must attend public schools. But this is not the only form intervention could take.
There are other markets where government intervention takes the form of subsidizing peopleâs access to productsâthink of financial aid to college students, for example. Many people in the US think that government should move from producing education to subsidizing access.

One form that subsidy could take is government providing vouchers to parents. Parents would use the voucher to help pay for their childâs education in a private school. After it receives the voucher, the school would turn it in and be paid by a local or state government.

Today there is a lively debate between people who think K-12 education should be delivered publicly and people who think quality and efficiency would be higher if government provided vouchers and the education was delivered by private schools. Some of these quality and efficiency arguments can be based on material we covered this week. Price competition between private schools will pressure each one to produce efficiently. Competition for students will lead private schools to offer programs of interest to parents and their children.

Answer the questions below and make use of the sources supplied. Be sure to cite you sources in your answers.

1. Explain whether a potential exit by students with vouchers will lead to the improvement of public schools. 2. Discuss whether the implementation of vouchers will lead the best students to leave public school, which could lead to a decline in education for the students left behind in the public schools. 3. Consider what might happen to the students who use vouchers to leave public schools in order to attend private schools. How might their academic performance change as a result of switching? 4. Finally, think about the impact of a voucher system on the students in an urban setting. Describe whether all families would have an equal opportunity to access education.

Your final product will be a paper that: ? Addresses each of the four questions above in total. ? Is APA formatted. ? The body is to be 2 pages minimum.

The requirements for your assignment are: 1. Answer each question fully 2. Define the overall subject of each question. 3. Cite at least three (3) resources from this weekâs materials.
