This week you are learning about ecology, biomes, population dynamics, climate change, and other environmental issues. As you are aware, there are several plant and animal species on this planet that are considered threatened or endangered. For this week’s discussion, you need to choose one (1) endangered species from the area where you currently live or have lived in the past. Visit the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species website “https://www.iucnredlist.org” and type in your county, state, region, or country. (My country is United States.) Do not select the same endangered species as another student. Use the name of your species in the title of your post to make it easier for other students to select a unique species. Please address the following about your endangered species (number your answers): 1. State the organism’s genus, species, and common name if applicable. MY ENDANGERED SPECIES IS (Black Rhinos). 2. State the geographical range, and based on what you have learned from this week’s textbook readings, determine the biome and ecosystem in which this species lives. 3. Using what you have learned in this week’s textbook chapters, describe this species in ecological terms, and how it fits into the food web and the ecosystem. 4. Discuss the primary reasons why your chosen species is endangered or threatened (habitat loss, change in climate, etc.) 5. How have humans impacted the survival of this species – both negatively and positively? 6. In your opinion, what level of effort should we expend on saving endangered species? What can be done to help them survive, and, in particular, your chosen species? Consider adding a photo of your chosen species. Include in-text citations and references in APA format to all information used to prepare your response, including the specific page of the ICUN Red List site that you used.

To complete this assignment you will: Step 1: Select one of the major developmental periods you have studied thus far in the course: infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, or middle adulthood. Step 2: Select a phenomenon or construct that features prominently in your chosen developmental stage. The construct should reflect one or more of the major areas of human development (physical, cognitive, social, emotional). For instance, if you are focusing on adolescence, perhaps you select the construct of egocentrism, which includes both cognitive and social components. Step 3: Review the section(s) of the Santrock text that are relevant to your developmental stage and construct. Step 4: Prepare a research paper that addresses the following: Step 4.1: Describe, in detail, the developmental stage you are focusing on for this research paper. You should briefly review the major developmental tasks of this stage as they pertain to physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. Step 4.2: Describe, in detail, your selected construct of interest. Be sure to define the construct and discuss its relevance during your selected stage of development. If the construct first appears earlier in development, or somehow changes with development across various stages, you will need to discuss how the construct changes over time. Step 4.3: Pick at least one theory that helps to explain the relevance of your construct to your chosen developmental stage. Explain the theory and its application to your construct and stage. Step 4.4: From the available 12 peer-reviewed journal articles, select and read at least 3 peer-reviewed journal articles that have some relevance to your topic and/or proposed study. Some articles may contribute information about your topic of study, or they may contribute information about research methods that could be applied to your specific topic of study. You are not required to understand or discuss the statistics involved in these articles, but you should be able to glean some information from the articles with relevance to your topic or proposed methods. Step 4.5: Now, consider yourself a scientist. Imagine you can conduct any study you like about this construct in your chosen developmental stage. Put forth at least 1 research question, and describe the method(s) you would use to collect the data (e.g., observational, survey/interview, standardized test, case study, physiological measures). Explain what type of study design you would use (e.g., descriptive, correlational, experimental). What is your hypothesis about what the results of the study will be? Why would this study be important to conduct, and how might it contribute to new knowledge in this area of developmental science? Step 4.6: Prepare a references page that lists each of your sources in APA style. Note that you will need to list your textbook as well as each of your 3 peer-reviewed journal articles. The References page will be the last page of your research paper.

This week we are covering biodiversity, taxonomy, phylogeny, evolution, and the factors and processes that contribute to evolution, including mutations, natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift. Find a news article from Science Daily (or another credible news source) that describes a recent research study that relates to something you found interesting in this week’s readings. The article should be less than 3 years old and not already discussed by another student. Include the following in your main response: Formulate a likely hypothesis for this research study (it may not be specifically stated in the article) In 1-2 sentences, summarize in your own words the most important conclusion from the research study. Describe how this research study relates to this week’s BIOL 103 course topics. Use at least one in-text citation to this week’s assigned textbook chapters. Finally, discuss at least one broader implication of this research that was not described in the article. In other words, how do you believe these research findings may impact society, the environment, health, or the world in a positive and/or negative way? Be specific. Use the name of the Science Daily article as the title of your post. Use in-text citations, and include references in APA format to the chosen Science Daily article, the textbook, and all other resources used to prepare your response.

Use at least 5 sentences to express your thoughts about the topic and use understandable regular vocabulary that isn’t difficult. Though artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for a while, it wasn’t until the spring semester of 2023 that it made a significant dent in the world, infiltrating all sectors, including education. Granted that there are multiple ways in which students can use artificial intelligence wisely, it has, unfortunately, taken the role of plagiarism, wandering into high-stakes assignments such as reports and exams. Students have justified the plagiaristic use of AI in many ways, while instructors have felt betrayed and discouraged. I want us to take the time to discuss learning in the era of artificial intelligence. More specifically, I want us to discuss:
the potentially questionable relevance of learning, and if relevant,
how we can positively incorporate artificial intelligence into our learning experience. Things to think about: How do we talk about learning at a time when we can externalize our knowledge? Why should we learn, despite our access to seemingly infinite intelligence? Should we still learn and, if so, under what circumstances? And how can artificial intelligence optimize our learning experience without it becoming a plagiarism issue?
