Governmental reports and websites.

• News articles related to your topic of interest.

In your paper, continue your examination of the scholarly and professional literature associated with your field of study and/or your specialization for themes and contemporary topics relevant to scholar-practitioners. Relevant topics are those that represent challenges or opportunities for scholar-practitioners in your field, or areas in which research could help improve service delivery to clients or provide greater understanding of key concepts to scholar-practitioners.

Your exploration of the literature may lead you to identify a wide range of themes and topics in your field, and you should mention the primary themes and topics briefly.

Then, for purposes of this assignment, narrow your focus to one broad theme or topic of interest to you, and tailor your paper around answering the questions below based on this narrowed focus.
For example,

If you are intrigued with the topic of adolescent learning (research topic), you might be interested in the influence of media on an adolescent’s development of critical-thinking skills (research focus).

• If you are interested in recidivism among juvenile offenders (research topic), you might be interested in focusing on the influence of educational achievement on recidivism rates (research focus).

If you are interested in the relationship between sports participation and future leadership success (research topic), you might want to focus on the concept of team leadership in collegiate basketball (research focus).

Assess what you, as a scholar-practitioner, would like to know about your field of study.

This discussion thread is designed to help you see how a synthesis of sources essay, or literature review, is organized.

Download the article, “Beyond Frequency: Perceived Realism and the CSI Effect,” by Evelyn Maeder and Richard Corbett. The article is available in the e-reserves of your class.

On pages 84-85, the authors provide an introduction to the research study they conducted. You can read this section if you would like to.

However, for this discussion thread,read from page 85 “(“The CSI effect defined”) to page 94 (up to the section entitled “Method”).

Then answer the following questions:

1. In the first section (“The CSI effect defined”), do the authors ever give you their opinion on the CSI effect? How do they support their definition and their expansion on the definition? How many different sources do they cite in this section?

2. From pages 86-88, the authors discuss lawyers, police officers, judges, and community members. In this section, do the authors ever give you their opinion on any of the issues discussed?

3. Examine the section entitled “Verdicts” (pp. 90-92). How do the results from the study by Shelton et al. differ from the results of the study by Kim, Barak, and Shelton? How do the results of the study by Baskin and Sommers differ from the results of other studies?

4. As a result of having read this article,write a few sentences about what you might have learned about a) synthesizing sources or b) the CSI effect.

Do not include a description of all the tests you performed.

Include only the most relevant tests, how they allowed you to eliminate the remaining bacteria that were not previously excluded and determine the identity your unknown. (20 points)

Assignment Instructions
This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring it, its causes, and its impacts.

Then, if you want, you can recommend one or more practical solutions to solve the problem.

After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it. Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through your sources.

Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore those possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation. Be sure to identify what is at stake.

Here are questions to help guide your analysis:

What is the problem being addressed (explain, describe, and “prove” that it exists)?

Who is affected by this problem?

Why does this problem exist (identify the root causes)?

Why does the problem persist (identify the major factors that contribute to the problem’s ongoing presence)?

What is at stake if the problem is not solved?

If you decide to include a solution, use these questions to guide you:

Who can take action?

What should they do, exactly?

Why would this help?

What are the positive and negative aspects of your solution(s)?

PURPOSE: To analyze a problem and possibly provide a solution

AUDIENCE: Classmates, others interested in the field
