Instructions
OBJECTIVEThis assignment gives you practice interpreting bivariate and multiple regression results.
HOW TO COMPLETE ITYou have two (2) attempts at the problem set. Your highest score will be kept.
Collaboration is allowed, though note that every problem set is different, so the correct answer varies from student to student. You may collaborate to figure out how to answer each question, but you must submit your own individual answer.
Pay close attention to the instructions in each question.
Always round your answers using the correct number of decimal places as specified in the question. Failure to round the answer as specified will result in incorrect grading by Canvas. Only round your final answer, not the intermediate steps in your calculations.
You may start the assignment at any time and you have until the due date to submit it. The assignment is not timed, so you don’t have to complete it in one sitting. You can answer a few questions and come back later to answer the remaining ones. Canvas should save your partial answers. You will know if your answers have been saved for later if you see the message “Quiz saved at XX:XX am/pm” next to the ‘Submit’ button at the bottom of the page. Do not hit the ‘Submit’ button until you have completed all questions and are ready to submit your definitive answers. Once you hit ‘Submit’, you won’t be able to open the assignment again.
I recommend that you keep all your answers in a separate file in your computer in case there is a problem and Canvas does not save them.

Opening of Class Presentation (10 points)
At the beginning of each class, two to three students (depending on class size) will be required to share and discuss with the class a social policy issue of interest. The social policy issue can come from the student’s fieldwork placement, personal interest, a newspaper/magazine article, television show, podcast, or other media outlet. In doing so, students should be able to identify who is impacted by the social policy issue, potential implications for social, economic, and environmental justice issues and social work’s response in advancing social, economic and environmental justice concerning this social policy issue. In sharing and discussing with the class, students should be prepared to interact with and answer questions from other students.Each presentation will be 10-15 minutes in length. Presentations will take place each Monday.By the previous Wednesday before the presentations, presenters must send the class one or two thought/discussion questions to consider to help the class prepare for the presentation.
You may use visual aids in your presentation such as images, brief PowerPoint slides, and/or brief videos.
A presentation schedule will be put together in week one and presentations will begin in week 3 through week 14.
Your grade on the presentation will be based on the following criteria:
How clear and organized was the presentation?
How well-supported with outside sources was the information presented?
How well-balanced were the presenters (did they speak for approximately equal time)?
How well did the presenters interact with the audience?

In this assignment, you will collect and analyze data about agencies’ performance, using agency reports from Performance.gov. Unfortunately, Performance.gov does not yet have information about current (e.g, Biden administration) agency goals and performance. Instead, we will take a look at agency goals and performance under the Trump and Obama administrations. Follow the instructions below.
