Measuring progress and requirements in a project can be completed through performance

testing. As you review the results, it leads to ways to maintain the project progress. In this

week’s assignment you will develop requirements that need measurable results through

performance testing. Review the scenario and complete the activity below.

The Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project team is working hard to ensure that the new

system they develop meets expectations. The team has a detailed scope statement, but the

project manager, Tony Prince, wants to make sure they’re not forgetting requirements

that might affect how people view the quality of the project. He knows that the project’s

sponsor and other senior managers are most concerned with getting people to use the

system, improve their health, and reduce healthcare costs. Users want the system to be

user-friendly, informative, fun to use, and fast.

Complete the following in a Microsoft Word document.

 

Develop a list of 6 quality standards or requirements related to meeting the stakeholder

expectations described in the Running Case.

 

Write a 45- to 90-word brief description of each requirement. For example, a

requirement might be that 90 percent of employees have logged into the system within 2

weeks after the system rolls out.

 

Write a 175-word explanation based on the list of standards and requirements on how

you will measure progress on meeting the requirements. For example, you might have

employees log into the system as part of the training program and track who attends the

training. You could also build a feature into the system to track usage by username,

department, and other criteria. Support your answer with 1 credible source outside of the

course materials.

Discussion: Psychopathy

Psychopathy is an important and complex topic of study in criminal behavior, especially as the definitions associated with psychopathy and associated terms are not concrete. As students of criminal behavior, you are likely to encounter multiple definitions and uses of the word psychopath, as well as terms that are sometimes substituted for it, such as criminal psychopath, antisocial personality disorder, and dissocial psychopaths. Bartol and Bartol (2017) explain that the “true” psychopath, also known as the criminal psychopath, focuses on individuals who engage in repetitive antisocial or criminal behavior. Antisocial personality disorder is similar to the criminal psychopath, however, it only includes behavioral indicators and disregards the neurological and cognitive aspects. Bartol and Bartol (2017) continue to clarify that the dissocial psychopaths are known for their aggressive, antisocial behavior, which they have learned from their subculture (p. 179).

Behaviors associated with psychopathic personalities include: repeat offenses (both violent and nonviolent) without concern for consequences, manipulation that is often charming in nature, and strong resistance to treatment. Psychopathy does not appear as a mental disorder in the DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV Text Revision), but it is closely related to antisocial personality disorder, which is a diagnostic category in the DSM-IV-TR. This nuance promotes continued debate about whether psychopathy should be classified as a mental disorder—a debate that has extreme significance because how psychopathy is classified has important consequences for both perpetrators and victims of crime.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of whether or not you think psychopathy should be classified as a mental disorder. Justify your position using specific examples. Then, describe at least one implication of classifying psychopathy as a mental disorder.

Note: Put your position for or against in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who argued the opposite position you did.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources.

Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.

/in /by

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.

Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of Research
