please answer the objective and subjective questions.
Objective Questions:
How do men and women differ in the characteristics they desire in their mates? How does evolutionary theory account for this difference?
Subjective Questions:
What would the world look like if those differences were flipped around? Is it possible? Why or why not?
For maximum credit, work to integrate an outside resource, or relevant research, or specific real-life application (work experience, prior coursework, etc.) to support important points.

****this assignment has 2 parts a powerpoint 1 slide and an infographic (1 page) ***
****the course is educational psychology ****
PART 1
First Step: Determine your audience
You get to determine who I am as a student. (e.g. I can be a 2 y/o in your pre-school class, a 13 y/o in your 8th grade class, a college student, an 8 y/o old student with with autism, etc….you get to create my student profile). Be detailed! 10pts
Second Step: Determine your content
You decide what you would like for me to learn (e.g. maybe you want me to know multiplication tables, or how to interact with diverse students, or ways to understand the branches of government, or a topic you have learned in this class…you pick). 15pts
Third Step: Determine your instructional method
You determine how I might best learn what you hope to teach me based on what you now know about how I learn. This means you will likely consider:
-developmental considerations (each chapter had a nice chart with developmental trends that should be helpful)
-theoretical approaches (e.g. Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, Kholberg)
-instructional strategies & approach
Explain your thought process behind the instructional method you select and what factors you took in to consideration. 25pts
PART 2
Part Two of your Final Assessment will give you a chance to highlight something you learned by creating your own infographic. You can choose to highlight a particular chapter, you could choose one topic we covered that is of interest, or a combination of topics/chapters. 
Infographics are visual representations of information. They can include numbers, text, images, or any combination of the three. Infographics provide authors with a quick way to convey a lot of information and readers with a quick way (and engaging) way to consume the information. 

What have you learned? What one thing stands out to you that you will take with you? Use an APA cover page. Your reflection should be 2 – 3 paragraphs.

The Signature Assignment includes two parts.
Part 1
Consider what you have learned about clinical supervision in psychology, and then create and explain the following (be sure to justify your responses with relationship to established research):
Create a scenario of clinical supervision between a supervisor and supervisee. Be sure to consider experience level, training, setting, unique personal and professional factors, and describe the use of clinical supervision, factors in deciding which approach(es) may be used, and why (as appropriate to the setting and other variables reviewed in the course that determines which approach and best practice are used).
Describe the technical competencies necessary for clinical supervision and how to use them in the scenario. Consider your own role as a supervisee and supervisor and how these competencies play a role.
Identify the potential personal factors, transference, and how countertransference may influence the clinical supervision relationship. Be specific with examples of how such factors and situations may influence the relationship (examples of where they may occur and how so). Examine the role of multiculturalism and diversity in the clinical supervision relationship. Include at least two to three examples in this discussion.
Analyze any ethical issues, including the process of risk management and a strategy you would implement, and why.
Part 2
Provide a reflection of your experiences. First person perspective is acceptable. In the reflection, begin by considering your learning experiences for the past 8 weeks of this course, and then address the following:
Describe your experiences of engaging the activities and material for Weeks 1-8.
What was new information to you?
What was familiar?
What did you enjoy the most and why (if at all)?
What did you enjoy the least and why (if at all)?
Determine what preconceived notions you have about clinical supervision, and how your experiences over these weeks have supported or conflicted with them.
Evaluate a plan for how you intend to utilize and promote clinical supervision in psychology. In your evaluation, address how, as a supervisee and as a supervisor, you will continue to develop your role in psychology and with consideration of clinical practice and supervision.
Length: 8-10 pages for Part 1, 3-5 pages for Part 2; 11-15 pages total, not including title and reference pages
References: Support your assignment with at least five peer-reviewed articles. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles and course text(s) may be included.
Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University′s Academic Integrity Policy.

Research Paper:
There will be one research paper worth 100 points. Students will carry out  research on a special topic of interest related to developmental psychology. More specifically, focusing on a developmental disorder or development in regards to a specific psychological disorder. 
Intro, body, conclusion. You can create other sections – this is your paper and this is the basic format expected but can go beyond using images, graphs, tables, just make sure you reference. I encourage you to be creative as much as you would like. Make sure if I remove all of the images you will have 6 pages.

Create a professional development PowerPoint presentation focused on how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices related to perception, consciousness, and attention can be applied in the context of a professional specialization.
Introduction
Cognitive psychology explores functions, such as learning, memory, thinking, and decision-making, whereas affective psychology concentrates on mood and emotion. These have been researched as independent domains of investigation; however, research has revealed that they are interdependent in many important ways.
Two pervasive topics in all the assessments in this course are:
Historical perspective on the origins and evolution of cognitive and affective psychology.
How neuroscience can shed light on these fields.
For context on these topics, read the following:
Introduction to Cognitive and Affective Psychology and Related Neuroscience [PDF].
As a professional psychologist, you will need to review theory and research and use it as the basis to develop best practices. For this assessment, you will focus on the following topics:
Perception.
Consciousness.
Attention.
Preparation
This first assessment focuses on visual perception, attention, and consciousness. For context on these topics, read the following:
Introduction to Visual Perception [PDF].
Introduction to Attention and Consciousness [PDF].
The following resource is required to complete the assessment.
Presentation Template [PPTX].
Note: Do not submit a paper for this assessment. Papers will not be graded.
You will complete this assessment by replacing all language that is enclosed within brackets [. . .] in the Presentation Template with your own words.
Imagine you are now a professional psychologist working in the specialization that you aspire to. You are charged with creating professional development for an interdisciplinary team of professionals in your workplace on how theories, principles, and evidence-based best practices of cognitive and affective psychology can be used to help people in your work context.
For this assessment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation focused on the following topics:
Perception.
Consciousness.
Attention.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
Where do our thoughts come from? How is it that physical processes in the brain cause consciousness?
What determines how perception or information enters into consciousness? Is there a gatekeeper that lets only some information through?
Why do you find it easier to concentrate on some things or in some situations, rather than others?
Can we process information even if we are not aware of doing so?
Is it time to give up the Cartesian dualism for a more integrated understanding of the relationship between the physical brain and the mind based on the research since the time of Descartes?
How do brain physiology and neuroscience help to explain normal and abnormal perception, problems with attention, and issues related to consciousness? Does science point toward interventions that could help persons with issues in these areas? Does it point toward ways to enhance capacities?
Do culturally diverse populations experience perception, attention, and consciousness differently?
How do emotions impact perception and attention?
Guidelines for the Presentation
Number of words: The number of words on each slide should be cut to the bare minimum without losing meaning. Instead of crowding slides with words, it is better to use more slides. Think of the entries on the slide as headings. In an actual presentation, the presenter would deliver details and support information verbally. All details and supporting information should be entered in the notes area below the slides.
Design: You may wish to enhance the design of the presentation to make it more effective. For guidance on PowerPoint design, you may review the documents PowerPoint Presentation Design Suggestions [PDF] and Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations.
If you feel that any aspect of the Presentation Template can be improved, you are encouraged to design your presentation as you see fit, as long as the required information is complete, clear, and well organized.
Language: Remember that your presentation is for an interdisciplinary team, so it will be important to communicate in a manner that can be understood by those not trained in psychology. Be sure to include plain language definitions of psychological terms used in the presentation in the notes section.
References: Remember to cite references just as you would in a written assessment.
Contents of the Presentation
Title Slide
On the first slide of the PowerPoint presentation, enter the following:
A descriptive title of approximately 5–15 words. It should stir interest while maintaining professional decorum.
