          ASSIGNMENT

          You are going to enhance the prior assignment by doing the following.

          • Create a class that contains all prior functions, you must convert the functions to methods of that class (do not create static methods, see the lesson for the correct way to create a class) 
          • Test the application (You can create your own application to demonstrate the usage of the class library) 

          Optional assignment 1
                    1) Create a math class that contains add and subtract methods
                    2) Create a sub-class using inheritance to add multiply and divide methods
                    3) Create a simple program to demonstrate the usage of the inherited class.

                 Optional assignment 2
                    1) Create an employee class (id, name, hourly rate, hours worked, pay                             (hourly  rate * hours worked)
                    2) Create a simple program to demonstrate the usage of the above class, the user will input (id, name, hourly rate, and hours worked), and the class will calculate the pay per employee. Be creative in how to display the data.

                 Optional assignment 3
                     1) Create a final grade class that will accept the weekly percentage grade to calculate the final grade.

                     2) Create a simple program to demonstrate the usage of the above class, the user will input the weekly percentage grades and the program will                              calculate the final grade (use the "average equation" to calculate the final)

                     3) create a dictionary with corresponding letter grades and use them as the output. 

          Sample output

          Use the same output from the last assignment.

          Submission Instructions:

          Make sure that you save your code in a text file in this format.

          program:

          W7_firstname_lastname.py

          (You must create at least one object from the class library)

          library:

          W7_firstname_lastname_Mylib.py

          The class Should NOT contain any UI functions such as input(), print(), format, or returning any messages

          DO NOT use class variables to pass data between methods, each method should contain parameters and return at least one value.

            Intervention Design: Theory of Change Model

            For this assignment, you will be using a Theory of Change model to help further plan your intervention. A Theory of Change model provides a road map of the inputs, activities, outcomes, and goals of an intervention.

            Assignment Instructions

            In this assignment, you will outline the internal and external stakeholders, the activities each stakeholder will partake in, and the short-term and long term goals of the intervention. Use the Theory of Change Template [PPTX] to complete your submission for this assignment.

            • Note: Please delete the explanatory text from the template before turning in your assignment. The explanatory text is there to help guide you through the process of creating your own Theory of Change model, but should not be included in what you turn in.

            A clear Theory of Change (ToC) model connects inputs to activities to outputs in a way that someone viewing the model can easily interpret. Another way to think of this is, you want any public health practitioner to pick up your ToC and understand each role and the impact of the inputs, activities, and outcomes of the intervention. As you are working on your assignment, be sure your ToC is comprehensive and includes:

            • Intervention Overview.
            • Resources/inputs (organizational plan).
            • Activities (stakeholder/participants actions).
            • Goal.
            • Measures of success.
            • Outputs.
            • Outcomes.
            • Overall Impact.

            Your assignment submission will be assessed on:

            • Provide an overview of the intervention.
              • The overview should:
                • Outline the public health problem.
                • Identify the target population.
                • Summarize the intervention and clearly identify the behavior theory upon which the intervention is based.
            • Identify the inputs needed for the intervention to be successful.
              • Identify the stakeholders needed for this intervention. As you are identifying potential stakeholders ask yourself:
                • Why is this stakeholder group important to the success of the intervention?
              • Identify the resources and any other funding needed for the intervention to be successful. As you are identifying any needed resources or funding, ask yourself:
                • How will this resource or funding be used during the intervention or project?
                • Where will this resource or funding come from?
              • Outline the activities that each stakeholder group will participate in.
                • As you are outlining the activities ask yourself:
                  • What is the evidence-based support for this activity?
                  • What will be the stakeholder group(s) role in the activity?
                  • Why is this activity important to the success of your intervention or project?
              • Outline outputs that will measure the initial implementation of your intervention or project.
                • As you are outlining the outputs, ask yourself:
                  • What is the evidence-based support for this activity?
                  • What will be the stakeholder group(s) role in the activity?
                  • Why is this activity important to the success of your intervention or project?
              • Outline outputs that will measure the initial implementation of your intervention or project.
                • As you are outlining the outputs, ask yourself:
                  • What must happen for this intervention to be implemented?
                  • Are the goals in one sentence using SMART format?
                  • What is your rationale for targeting these measures of success?
              • Present two program-specific outcomes for your intervention or project. As you develop outcomes, ask yourself:
                • How will these outcomes demonstrate the intervention is moving in the right direction?
                • How do these outcomes align with your overall measures of success?
              • Explain the overall impact goal of your intervention or project.
                • Is the goal written in one sentence using SMART format?
              • Convey purpose, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly writing standards.
