Week 3 Assessment Review and Critique
Counselors have multiple tools to use with clients during career exploration. Assessments are one of the tools that a counselor can use to help clients explore their own beliefs, interests, values, and skills related to career development. Many of these assessments are based in career development theory. Counselors are responsible for understanding the assessments they choose to use with clients. Proper evaluation and critique of an assessment prior to administering the assessment to clients is imperative. In this assignment you have the opportunity to review a written critique of a commonly used career assessment, one that you might use as a professional counselor. You will be asked to summarize potential information gained from the assessment, use with the population you hope to work with, strengths and weaknesses of the assessment to include the psychometric properties of the assessment, and any cultural considerations when using the assessment.
Use the APA Publication Guide (6th ed) template to format your document, which is located in each module.

Human Behavior ll THE STORY OF JULIAN HERBS

Human Behavior ll

THE STORY OF JULIAN HERBS

Julian Herbs is a 50 year old African American male who is married and has two children. Mr. Herbs owns a body shop and worked hard to invest his money, owning a few rental houses and an apartment complex.
Despite, being financially secure, Mr. Herb is dissatisfied with his current life and so his pastor suggested that he seeks therapy. At his first session with you, he indicated that “nothing is really wrong, but nothing is really right either.” While he described his marriage as satisfactory and believed he had strong relationships with his children he feels unfulfilled. His daughter graduated from College two years ago and moved to Atlanta and his son, who plays football at a local college is graduating in a few months but has already found a job in Chicago. He sensed that he is just “going through the motions of life until I die.” While he had not embarked on an affair he admitted that he has been talking with his 25 year old female receptionist and was hoping that the relationship might develop further. He revealed that he had taken the young lady to lunch once but nothing more than that.

Mr. Herb described his parents as hardworking Christians who dedicated their lives to raising their children in the segregated south. He and his siblings were close when they were growing up. He graduated from high school as a honor student and received a college scholarship to play basketball. Rather than pursue his education he married his high school sweetheart at age 19 and by age 21 he was a father. “I guess I was in love” he said dismissively. He worked hard to support his family and did not want to be one of those guys in the community who abandoned his children. He studied automotive mechanics at the local technical college for nine months and afterwards saved enough money to get his own shop. He often regrets not going to college to get a 4-year degree. Julian’s father had often talked about dreams he had for his retirement but died two years prior to retirement from a heart attack. His mother resides in the neighborhood and Julian and his wife spend their free time assisting her so she can maintain a fairly independent life.

From your readings and study:
1. Conduct an assessment of Mr. Herb. Is there a problem to be addressed here why or why not?
2. Looking at his developmental stage and using the person in environment perspective, describe his concerns.
3. Employ at least one theory that could further explain Mr. Herb’s version of reality and finally,
4. Describe how you would handle this case with your client through suggestions and recommendations using your knowledge of human development.

Your paper should adhere to the APA format and should not be more than six pages. Papers should be numbered consecutively and should be free of errors and plagiarism.

Mr. Beridon received your requests for information and returned data which you have compiled in an Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet (see document template). He also said, “We grow sod and trees at Jeemp Farms. We sell the sod mainly to home builders in the area, although we sell to some individuals who are purchasing square footages to re-sod their yard. Many home builders will purchase to sod an entire subdivision. They then may come back to us to purchase trees for the yards. It really is a package deal. For builders like that, we are a one-stop-shop. In most cases, however, we sell the trees to orchards and some individuals. The purchaser is responsible for all shipping costs related to their product. “Our production process is different for each product. For sod, we plant the seed, irrigate, cut, and roll the sod and then transport it. For the trees, we plant the root stock, graft the tree, water until a particular maturity and then dig it up and sell it. We inspect the plants as needed to make sure we are producing a quality product that is disease-free.

“We have delayed purchasing some machinery that reduces time for the planting of the trees because it is a large up-front cost and we don’t want to have a huge outlay of cash if our profits keep going down”.
“The grass does not require as much irrigation as the trees, as it is at a lower elevation than the tree acres and is closer to the creek; it gets a lot of the run off”.
“Historically, we have always been able to sell everything we produce. Hopefully, that will continue since Houston is expanding rapidly”.

Compute the product costs for the sod and trees under traditional and ABC costing using the Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet.

Justify whether Mr. Beridon should cut the sod portion of his company.

example of a scenario that demonstrates the appropriate time / situation to use a recovery option to return a Windows 8.1 system to a functional state. Identify the recovery option you would use for your provided example, and provide a rationale for its selection. Suppose you would like to keep your personal data, Windows Store apps, basic settings, personalization settings, BitLocker settings, and wireless settings after your Windows 8.1 computer is recovered. You would also like to retain your traditional apps and their associated settings without reinstalling them. Describe the recovery option(s) that you would use to achieve this goal. Provide a rationale for your selection(s).

Discussion 2
Compare and contrast the process of adding JavaScript and a Cascading Style Sheet to a Website. Determine if they can be used simultaneously in a page. If so, explain which of the two takes precedence over the other.
Imagine that you designed a Website for a client using JavaScript to make animated snowflakes fall on the page. When you test the page, the animations do not work. Predict what the problem could be and propose a solution.
Discussion 3
Analyze some of the limitations a Web designer should be aware of before adding JavaScript to a Website. Determine if these limitations outweigh the benefits of using JavaScript. Explain your decision.
From the second e-Activity, identify a company (bank, car wash, travel agency, nonprofit, restaurant, etc.). Keeping that company in mind, select the client-side or server-side scripting you would most likely use, and why. Or you can explain the client-side or server-side scripting you would not use, and why not
