The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects citizens against police officers making unreasonable searches and seizures of personal property. The Fifth and Sixth Amendments guarantee the procedures that the courts and police must use to ensure fair treatment of persons arrested for crimes.

 

Analyze the following cases in preparation for a systematic approach for a synthesis of law and fact.

 

Review each of the follow cases:

• Katz v. United States, 389 US 347 (1967) located at http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=9210492700696416594&hl=en&as_sdt=2&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr
• Miranda v Arizona (1966) located at http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=384&invol=436

 

Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:

1. Prepare a two to three (2-3) page briefing from one of the two (1-2) cases that you reviewed in which you utilized the following areas of importance: a) issue presented; b) short answer; c) the facts of the case; d) a summary of the case; and e) a conclusion of the case outcome.
2. Examine the importance of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and determine which amendment offers the greatest protection for defendants in a typical U.S. court case. Justify your position.
3. Explore the overall importance of the Fifth Amendment rights. Suggest key events from the Miranda v Arizona case in which you believe law enforcement had violated the fundamental nature of one’s Fifth Amendment right. Justify your response.
4. Examine three (3) instances in which the Fourth Amendment protects you against unlawful search and seizure. Provide examples of such occurrences to support your response.
5. Discuss the two prong test articulated by the Court which determines the actual nature of a reasonable expectation of privacy. Justify the validity of the test in the courts holding for the Katz v United States case.
6. Analyze whether or not today’s standards allowing government access to all electronic technologies through legislation, like the Uniting and Strengthening America By Providing Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T) Act of 2001, have effectively negated the holding in Katz v. United States.
7. Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

2. For each of the three or more risks:
   • Describe the task being performed when the risk might occur (washing dishes, moving a desk, etc.).
   • Locate where the risk may occur (office, garage, etc.).
   • Describe the hazard type (shock, fall, etc.).
   • Summarize the consequences of the risk (death, fire, etc.).
   • Prepare a description of how to control the hazard once it occurs (dilute, neutralize, etc.).

Application: Creating a Flowchart

Workflow analysis aims to determine workflow patterns that maximize the effective use of resources and minimize activities that do not add value. There are a variety of tools that can be used to analyze the workflow of processes and clarify potential avenues for eliminating waste. Flowcharts are a basic and commonly used workflow analysis method that can help highlight areas in need of streamlining.

In this Assignment, you select a common event that occurs regularly in your organization and create a flowchart representing the workflow. You analyze the process you have diagrammed and propose changes for improvement.

To prepare:

• Identify a common, simple event that frequently occurs in your organization that you would like to evaluate.
• Consider how you would design a flowchart to represent the current workflow.
• Consider what metrics you would use to determine the effectiveness of the current workflow and identify areas of waste.

To complete:

Write a 4- to 5-page paper which includes the following:

• Create a simple flowchart of the activity you selected. (Review the Sample Workflow of Answering a Telephone in an Office document found in this week’s Learning Resources for an example.)
• Next, in your paper:
  • Explain the process you have diagrammed.
  • For each step or decision point in the process, identify the following:
    • Who does this step? (It can be several people.)
    • What technology is used?
    • What policies and rules are involved in determining how, when, why, or where the step is executed?
    • What information is needed for the execution of this step?
  • Describe the metric that is currently used to measure the soundness of the workflow. Is it effective?
  • Describe any areas where improvements could occur and propose changes that could bring about these improvements in the workflow.
  • Summarize why it is important to be aware of the flow of an activity.
• Remember to include a cover page, introduction, and summary for your paper.

Develop a scholarly project that demonstrates an application of evidence to practice for substantive change. This project emphasizes critical appraisal and application of evidence-based research, scholarly writing, and critical thinking. The scholarly project will be submitted as a written paper in APA format/style. In addition, learners will present a summary of the final project orally or by creating a PowerPoint presentation.

Learners will select one of the following types of projects related to their specific advanced role specialization and target population:

• Educational program
• Evidence-based healthcare policy change
• Evidence-based clinical issue or protocol

Overview of the Evidence Based Project (EBP):

• Discuss the significance of the issue in terms of poor outcomes, cost, etc

Recall that one of the major benefits of using technology in the classroom is the ability to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of every student in every lesson. Just as each student grows and develops at different rates, research tells us that students also learn in different ways. Jane McGonagall is an expert at differentiation through the use of games, which is sometimes described as a form of gamification. As featured in her engaging TED Talk (2010), Gaming can make a better world (http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world) ;  she discusses gamification in classroom contexts.
