the above link contains resources which MUST be referenced according to the rubric. (please let me know id it requires login information)
i have attached course readings, as well as several weeks worth of lectures.

Please write 2 separate replies of at least 250 words in APA format. Scholarly sources cited must have
been published within the last five years. Acceptable scholarly sources include peer-reviewed
journals, textbooks, or other academic books.
For each reply, students are to provide a well-written and warm response to peers’ posts with
thoughtful analysis, strengths-based feedback, and personal insights. Responses further the
discussion by providing additional information, a challenge, or encouragement for further
growth. In addition, responses relate issues to biblical principles.
Students need to use two scholarly sources in each reply. Acceptable sources for the replies, are scholarly journals, the textbook, other academic books, and the Bible. Response and initial posts reflect proper written communication skills and APA-style references.

*Please see attached format for this paper*
For this project, students will 1) choose a problem they have suffered from and would like to improve (e.g., burnout, low self-esteem, shoulder pain, trouble sleeping; Do not choose a significant problem that needs professional help); 2) choose a behavioral intervention (not pharmacological intervention) that is supported by research. The intervention is something you will carry out yourself during this semester, so choose an intervention that is feasible and easy to implement (e.g., drinking water, stretching, journaling, walking); 3) Before beginning the intervention, gather baseline data. Once the intervention starts, continue collecting data throughout the Intervention Phase. The baseline data will be compared with the intervention phase data to assess any progress made; 5) write a paper including a chart and a graph.
You need to have at least TWO weeks for data collection and intervention:
 FOUR days for a baseline: Prior to intervention, you will collect baseline data daily over 4 days to detect the level of the problem before intervention.
 TEN days for an intervention: On day 5, you begin your intervention and continue until day 14. During the intervention phase (10 days), you also collect data daily to check progress in the problem.
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 Day 9 Day 10 Day 11 Day 12 Day 13 Day 14
Baseline Intervention Phase

• 5 ½ ~ 6 pages (including progress chart and graph) PLUS cover page and reference pages.
• Typed, Follow APA, Double Space, Font Style: Times New Roman
• If you use AI to find and understand an article, cite both in text and include both references in the reference page. This citation rule applies only to this class. For example:
In text:
McCarty and Faulkner’s (2020) article that assessed the effects of journaling on anxiety found that journaling did have a significant beneficial effect on reducing anxiety symptoms (OpenAI, 2024).
In reference:

For this Assignment:
Problem – Lack of Self Efficacy
The Intervention – Making/Having a Daily Planner
* I have not done the baseline/intervention scale but would be okay with you doing this, if you can please.
The scale should be like this – “No success – 0 tasks completed”; “Slight Success – 1 task completed”; “Little Success = 2 tasks completed”; “Moderate Success = 3 tasks completed”; “Increased Successs = 4 tasks completed”; “Great Success = 5 tasks completed”.
4 Journal Articles to Use
– The art of planning ahead: When do we prepare for the future and when is it effective (Journal of Eperimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory.
– Succeeding with Adult ADHD: Daily strategies to help you achieve your goals and manage your life (American Psychological Association, 2023)
-Conquering procrastination: How to stay motivated and become more productive (M and M Limitless, Online Inc) 2021
– Strategies and tips for time management productivity: Habits for organizing yourslef and ending procrastination (Bohdan Obruch) 2022

This is based on the Congress (1994) article that analyzes a student’s family journey to the United States including country, cultural heritage, language, and any transnational linkages including extended family. The student will analyze one’s own biases and the biases of those around him/her, and how they potentially impact work with immigrants and refugees. The student will discuss how the culturagram can be applied in their current practice placement. My Placements is in a youth prison.
I have attached the detailed instruction, the example professor gave, and the Congress Article I will upload later

Please answer the 7 questions listed on the attachment. The questions are for my entrance into the social work program.

Personal Statement
The Kent School of Social Work and Family Science MSSW Program takes an anti-oppressive stance in educating students for careers as specialized social work practitioners who apply critical thinking skills and available evidence to inform practice that responds to complex social problems. Upload to the application, a 2-part, three (3) page double-spaced, 12-font essay with sources cited addressing the following:
• Analyze a systemic/institutionally oppressive policy or practice and discuss the scope, the population affected, causes and consequences, as well as what social workers can do to combat the oppressive policy or practice.
• Review the NASW Code of Ethics Preamble and Ethical Principles and discuss how your personal values and beliefs are or are not compatible with NASW values. How will you reconcile any conflicts between your personal values and the requirements of the profession?

The assignment is attached with the topics to cover. I am assigned to Group Three. There isnt a limit in slides for the presentation but if you could put presentation notes for me to read that would be great.
Textbook you can refer to is: Kessler, David A. (2009). The end of overeating: Taking control of the insatiable American appetite. Rodale Books: New York.
Carnes, P. (2001), Out of the shadows: Understanding sexual addiction. Third Edition. Hazelden, Center City, MN.

PLEASE make sure to follow ALL of the directions. If you are not the best at APA formatting, then this may not be the assignment for you. If you do like to research and add references, this is not the assignment for you. This teacher is very picky when it comes to how the students turn in the assignments. You going to need to peer review references, and this assignment can be written in simple language. No need to use the big fantasy wording. Let me know if I forgot to send a doc to you. Each reference that is used must be assessable to me. It must include the URL so I can go back and read the material of the reference. If I think the reference is irrelevant to the topic, I will ask for it to be replaced with a more relevant one

Using a case that we have covered in class, summarize key points of the case through the lens of one core concept. Discuss the facts in an organized manner that promotes a clear understanding of the child’s/ family’s experience of trauma. Discuss how the core concept you have selected relates to the understanding of risk and protective factors. This assignment is designed for you to organize, conceptualize case data, and demonstrate in-depth understanding and application of core trauma concepts presented in the course.
The paper should be double-spaced, type-written, and 6-7 pages in length.
A grading rubric will be provided to detail assignment expectations.
Provide citations and reference the Core Concepts, the case you are using, and provide at least two additional references other than the text.
