Computer Science/Everyman

While theatre (almost) came to a stand still during Medieval Times, religious vernacular drama, about biblical figures or events, survived – partly because much of this religious drama was being produced theatrically within the confines of the church. Out of this drama, came morality plays. This type of drama, often considered “less” religious and “more” humanistic (from a socially and cultural point of view, because it taught moral lessons to society), has had a significant and lasting impact on theatre and culture in the western world.

Everyman remains the most popular example of a morality play. After reading the play and doing some additional research on its themes, storyline and characters, your skills of creative writing will now be employed. This assignment requires you to:

rewrite and compose a contemporary version of the Everyman story/morality play in one of the following forms – a children’s story book, a fairy tale, or a modern short story
This new interpretation could include (but not be limited by) contemporary images and/or moral concerns; personification and interaction of vices and/or virtues; and themes or lessons for a modern day “Everyperson”.

This assignment should be typed and proofread (4-5 pages in length). The final choice of how this assignment will be presented (i.e. a fairy tale, short story) is strictly up to you. Think originality and creativity – images, graphics, Powerpoint/Prezi presentations, video links, etc. are always encouraged to help tell your story.

Field: Human Resource Management

Identify an organization of your choice. This could be your current employer. It could even be a hypothetical organization or that of one of your peers. Be sure you have access to information about the organization and about the industry the organization is in. We would suggest choosing an organization and industry that are changing so that you can explore strategies for change management.

Research on that organization, and then respond to the following:

• Describe the organization you have chosen. Please include the name and a short description of the organization’s products or services.

• How does the organization motivate its employees? Describe any programs or methods they use to motivate workers. If the organization does not have any employee motivational strategies, suggest some strategies that you think will be effective.

• Describe the current state of the organization’s workforce dynamic. Is its workforce growing? Is it changing? How is it changing and why?

• What are some of the workforce trends that this organization needs to address? What similar organizations can be used as a benchmark?

• What are some of the industry trends that are affecting the organization overall? Is the industry growing, or declining?

Evaluate Internet Sources Using Structured Approach to Research and Communicate Process to Doctoral Students

Evaluate Internet Sources Using Structured Approach to Research and Communicate Process to Doctoral Students

Instructions

During Week 1, we examined two types of publications. This week, we turn our focus toward how to examine resources located on the Internet. Internet searches are much easier than electronic library searches, but Internet searches present challenges. For example, many people are not qualified to present objective information, and they post inaccurate or biased information. The locations can be informal, such as personal blogs; or they can be more formal, such as on professional organization websites. The challenge for professional and academic researchers is to ensure the information retrieved and relied on is accurate and free from excessive bias. This week, you will practice locating resources on the Internet and analyzing information for credibility, and creating a presentation to help other doctoral students evaluate Internet sources.

For this task, begin by locating at least three sources of information from Internet resources on a business topic of interest to you. The information should be from a professional organization website or from a website specializing in a particular subject. Ensure there is an author identified and be sure the qualifications of the author are presented in the website information.

Next, imagine that you will be creating a PowerPoint Presentation to doctoral students to help them evaluate sources. Create a visual diagram that reflects the process steps students need to go through to evaluate Internet sources. Explain each of the steps in the process in detail and use the three sources you identified as examples. Be sure to consider the following questions to help your doctoral student audience understand the validity of the authors you researched.

  • Who is the author?
  • What are the main points the author is presenting?
  • What are the author’s educational and experience credentials? In what way do they support the author’s ability to express an opinion on the subject?
  • Has the research been peer-reviewed or gone through an editorial process?
  • What types of bias may be present?
  • Who has a contrary opinion on the subject, and what are their credentials?
  • How old is the material, and is it still relevant?

End your PowerPoint presentation by providing a real-life example from a specific business context where you could apply the Internet source evaluation process you just developed to promote a specific business improvement idea to your management team. How might the source evaluation process help you build credibility in a business setting? How is the source evaluation process different in academia verses a business context?

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Support your presentation with at least 3 scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 9-12 slides (with a separate reference slide)

Notes Length: speaker notes of 200-350 words per slide.

Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style where appropriate. Save the file as PPT with the correct course code information.

Assignment #4 Instructions:

Before completing this Assignment #4, review Assignments #1, #2, #3 and the OPT Template (attached).  In the intervening weeks, use all of this information to build upon as you complete this assignment (for your Final Project, as well). This will ensure that you are addressing all required components for the assignment.


 

Assignment #4

For Assignment #4, you will be designing an OPT Power Phase 5 program program for your client (YOU).

 

Based on the goals of your client (YOU), design a program using OPT Power Phase 5.

For this phase you will be responsible to provide the following information regarding your client’s (YOU) NASM OPT Power Phase 5 program:

 

  • OPT Program Power Phase 5 Including: Cardiorespiratory training protocols, SMR & Flexibility training protocols, Core & Balance training protocols, Reactive training protocols, Speed Agility Quickness (SAQ) training protocols, and Resistance training protocols.
  • Performance Assessment information (or performance assessment data collected for phase 5) with rationale about how this information will inform your program design
  • Narrative discussing why you chose specific training protocols and exercises for your client and how your choices will help your client reach his/her training goals.
  • Completed OPT phase 5 Template (Refer to Chapter 10 of your text book

 

In addition to the above, the narrative should focus on why you chose the exercises and how they will assist your client (YOU) with their goals.

All of the above information must be relevant and woven together with the client’s performance goals to build upon and develop a client specific exercise program.  Please express sufficient detail in your program covering all acute variables such as Intensity or Weight (using Rep maximum data), Sets, Reps, Tempo, and Rest.

Ergonomic proposal

Ergonomic proposal

In the absence of an ergonomic regulation, develop a proposal to your employer (or imaginary employer) as to why the company/division/agency/etc. should develop a written ergonomic program. Include in your proposal (1) information on the types of tasks or hazards that would be covered by the program, (2) potential resources (time, personnel, money, equipment) necessary to develop the program, and (3) anticipated changes that might occur as a result of the implementation of the program. The proposal should be long enough to convince your employer that a written program is necessary, but short enough to not lose their interest.
