Assignment 2: Needs Assessment
Due Week 5 and worth 175 points
You and your assigned classmate(s) have formed a human resource consulting company. You have been hired to provide training to the sales force for an automobile dealership. As part of your preparation for this consulting engagement, you and your team members must determine how best to approach the automobile dealership to engage the interest of the decision makers. Your part of this assignment is to propose the types of needs assessment tools that could be used to determine how to design and develop the automobile dealerships training programs. These could include software, models, or analysis methods. Once you complete your need assessment, you must now meet with the owner of the dealership to discuss the needs assessment. Do Not Create a Training Program!!!
From the perspective of a team member, write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Prepare, in outline form, the process your team could use to conduct the needs assessment for your client based upon the articles you selected. (You will use a hierarchical topic and sentence outline for this paper only.)
Review chapter 4 on needs assessments. It discusses different types of assessments. Select the best one(s) to use to gather information. Keep in mind that you are trying to find out the organizations needs related to their sale force. Hence, you need to outline the method you are going to use to gather information and make a recommendation to management on what type of training may be required. Use this information in conjunction with your research from the week 3 discussion.
2. Identify two (2) possible impediments to this approach and discuss how you will overcome them.
The text also discusses obstacles to conducting needs assessments such as time, cost, leadership buy-in, employee willingness to participate. The most common are time to conduct a thorough assessment and cost. You should mention the others briefly as supporting information.
3. Evaluate the feasibility of your approach to what is commonly done in the field.
Feasibility is the likelihood your process would happen in this industry. Is your process a standard practice?
4. Explain why your needs assessment is critical to the development of the training program you plan to deliver.
Your goal here is to answer what can happen if you develop training without understanding the training needs and why it is important to determine the issues correctly to avoid wasting time and money, in addition to not solving the problem. Remember you are training the sales force but the training may not be sales related it could be a process, time management, or low morale. This is what your consulting company has been hired to find out.
5. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment.
Two resources in addition to your textbook for maximum points.
Review the week 3 discussion thread where you can find other types of needs assessment processes. If.
Improving ROI through Increased Attention to the Product LifecycleGregory Sales
Designing, developing, implementing, and supporting e-learning costs money—and no organization wants to waste money. Therefore, every e-learning product must yield the maximum return on the investment. To achieve this, organizations need to understand the stages of the e-learning product lifecycle. With this knowledge, they can maximize the impact of their efforts at various stages, thereby extending the lifespan and effective use of an e-learning product. This, in turn, will directly increase the return the organization realizes on its investment in e-learning.

Training and Development Proposal
Introduction
Computer Aided Design
Solution
s is a small business that has been started to provide solutions to design problems. The scope of the business ranges from design of machinery and structures like buildings to household vessels. The design program has to be taught to individuals to enable them to inductively participate competently in the market of design solutions. I always get invited to offer consulting services in this field. I will draw heavily from my experience when I provide training and development services to this business. There are numerous challenges to be overcome for one to be successful as I will show herein.
Training Methods to Be Used
Good learning and development initiatives in the Design field always feature a combination of many methods that, blended together, produce one effective training program. Below are some of the ways of delivering training and development activities for the consulting services.
Orientation
Orientation will familiarize the new trainees with the field of Computer Aided Design. It will be conducted through training manuals, a one-on-one meeting with a consultant who will give a lecture. Newcomers will receive information on our company's history and strategic position, the key people in authority at the business, the structure of departments and how they contribute to the overall mission of the enterprise, and the employment policies, rules, and regulations.
Lectures
Lecturers are a verbal method of presenting information; lectures are mainly useful in situations when the goal is to impart the same information to a large number of people at one time.
Case Study
The Case study method of training is a non-directed method of study where trainees are given practical case reports with similar situations and facts as the current situation to analyze. The case report includes a thorough description of a simulated or real-life situation.
Role Playing
Students assume a role outside of their current role and responsibilities and play out that role within a group. A facilitator creates a scenario that is to be acted out by the participants under the guidance of the facilitator. While the situation might be contrived, the interpersonal relations are genuine. In addition, participants receive immediate feedback from the facilitator and the scenario itself, allowing better understanding of their behavior.
Computer-Based Training
This method of training will involve the use of computers and computer-based instructional materials as the primary medium of instruction. Computer-based training programs will be useful to structure and present instructional materials, as well as facilitate the learning process for the trainee.
Elements of Training and Developmen.

All this just need to be reworded. NOT APA nor MLA needed.
Question 1
Distinguish between the concepts of mission and vision. Provide examples in your explanation.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
(needs to be re-worded)
Mission and vision statement are used in many organization to lay out who they and to identify their business to the external and internal customers. A vision statement is the foundation of an organization. It clearly states to the internal and external customers what the organization is all about. For example for the 375th Air Mobility Wing vision statement is “The Vision of the 375 Air Mobility Wing is providing precise combat capabilities to the warfighter….always”. This clearly states what the vision of the organization is which is ensuring the warfighters have the combat capabilities to do their jog. With a mission statement it is used to state the values and of the organization and it is used to separate the organization from it competitors. For example the 375th Air Mobility Wing mission statement is “The mission of the 375th Air Mobility Wing is enabling combat power”. With this mission statement it clearly states that the organization will enable combat power which tells the employees within the organization that they are trusted with power ensure the warfighters have what they need in a timely manner.
Question 2
Are "strategic management" and "strategic planning" synonymous terms? Explain.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
(needs to be re-worded)
Strategic management and strategic planning are considered synonymous terms because they are both used to discuss how organizations make decisions regarding their business vision and mission and goals for the future. Even though the term strategic management is used in mainly within the realm of education and strategic planning is used more in the business world they both follow the same concept. Both strategic management and strategic planning focus around organizations focus on strategy to remain competitive and diverse through the changing economy.
Question 3
Describe the strategic management process, and include how it is used by organizations.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
(needs to be re-worded)
The strategic management process has three stages which are strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and finally strategy evaluation. When looking at the strategy formulation this requires an organization to create the foundation of their organization. This includes creating a mission and vision statement and looking at what external and internal threats or opportunities that will affect the organization. When looking at the strategy implementation this entails an organization to establish objectives that will need to be meet and according to what time frame these objectives will be meet. This requires employ.

What is process evaluation?
Process evaluation uses empirical data to assess the delivery of
programs. In contrast to outcome evaluation, which assess the
impact of the program, process evaluation verifies what the
program is and whether it is being implemented as designed. Thus,
process evaluation asks "what," and outcome evaluation asks, "so
what?"
When conducting a process evaluation, keep in mind these three
questions:
1. What is the program intended to be?
2. What is delivered, in reality?
3. Where are the gaps between program design and delivery?
This workbook will serve as a guide for designing your own process
evaluation for a program of your choosing. There are many steps involved
in the implementation of a process evaluation, and this workbook will
attempt to direct you through some of the main stages. It will be helpful to
think of a delivery service program that you can use as your example as
you complete these activities.
Why is process evaluation important?
1. To determine the extent to which the program is being
implemented according to plan
2. To assess and document the degree of fidelity and variability in
program implementation, expected or unexpected, planned or
unplanned
3. To compare multiple sites with respect to fidelity
4. To provide validity for the relationship between the intervention
and the outcomes
5. To provide information on what components of the intervention
are responsible for outcomes
6. To understand the relationship between program context (i.e.,
setting characteristics) and program processes (i.e., levels of
implementation).
7. To provide managers feedback on the quality of implementation
8. To refine delivery components
9. To provide program accountability to sponsors, the public, clients,
and funders
10. To improve the quality of the program, as the act of evaluating is
an intervention.

5.1Case:TheRealWorldofTraining...WhatIsWrongHere?
Case1
Mechanics from dealerships across the country attended a three day training session put on by the manufacturer. The cost of the training, including travel and lodging was split
between the manufacturer and the dealerships. The focus of the training was on the electrical systems in three lines of automobiles. Given the number of trainees, it would
have been too expensive to provide three automobiles for each mechanic to work on and it would be nearly impossible to �ind a facility large enough to do so. So the training
was designed for the instructor to give instruction on the various systems and then to pose various problems that might occur. The trainees would then try to identify the
symptoms that would result. For example, the problem might be given as “The car has a burned-out capacitor.” The trainees would then try to identify the symptoms that would
appear (e.g., High current surge demands on the vehicle’s electrical systems can damage the electrical system, including the battery, alternator and voltage regulator.). The
training covered a wide range of electrical problems and the mechanics rated the program highly as they left. When doing a follow-up evaluation, the training director was
disappointed to learn that the dealerships reported that their mechanics showed no improvement in trouble shooting electrical problems.
Case2
You are the training director for a training program designed to prepare people to become certi�ied as program managers. The training is divided into �ive sections. Each
section consists of two days of training for each of four weeks. Each section has a different trainer who is an expert in the content of that section. At the end of each week, the
trainees take a test to measure what they have learned. You’ve just .

Assignment 2 Recipe for Success!Every individual approaches life .docxjosephinepaterson7611
Assignment 2: Recipe for Success!
Every individual approaches life and situations differently. We all use communication as a means to express ourselves. However, communication is as much about listening as it is about talking. Communication is a mutual exchange.
Everyone has had a disagreement with someone in which the other person may respond with “You aren’t listening to me!” or “You don’t understand me!” The fact is, you are not validating the other person or are perceived as someone who is not providing validation. Validation can defuse a potentially explosive scenario.
Consider your personal experiences and communication skills.
What are the skills you use to communicate and how do they impact your interactions with others?
How do you plan to manage conflict communication?
Do you set a goal for the outcome you are seeking to achieve?
Do you consider your audience?
What point of view do you try to convey?
What is your message or argument in communication?
Have you ever applied the principles above? Have they worked for you? If not, what has worked for you?
Write your responses in two to three paragraphs. Be sure to incorporate terms, concepts, and theory from your readings to support your comments.

Training and Development Proposal
Introduction
Computer Aided Design
Solution
s is a small business that has been started to provide solutions to design problems. The scope of the business ranges from design of machinery and structures like buildings to household vessels. The design program has to be taught to individuals to enable them to inductively participate competently in the market of design solutions. I always get invited to offer consulting services in this field. I will draw heavily from my experience when I provide training and development services to this business. There are numerous challenges to be overcome for one to be successful as I will show herein.
Training Methods to Be Used
Good learning and development initiatives in the Design field always feature a combination of many methods that, blended together, produce one effective training program. Below are some of the ways of delivering training and development activities for the consulting services.
Orientation
Orientation will familiarize the new trainees with the field of Computer Aided Design. It will be conducted through training manuals, a one-on-one meeting with a consultant who will give a lecture. Newcomers will receive information on our company's history and strategic position, the key people in authority at the business, the structure of departments and how they contribute to the overall mission of the enterprise, and the employment policies, rules, and regulations.
Lectures
Lecturers are a verbal method of presenting information; lectures are mainly useful in situations when the goal is to impart the same information to a large number of people at one time.
Case Study
The Case study method of training is a non-directed method of study where trainees are given practical case reports with similar situations and facts as the current situation to analyze. The case report includes a thorough description of a simulated or real-life situation.
Role Playing
Students assume a role outside of their current role and responsibilities and play out that role within a group. A facilitator creates a scenario that is to be acted out by the participants under the guidance of the facilitator. While the situation might be contrived, the interpersonal relations are genuine. In addition, participants receive immediate feedback from the facilitator and the scenario itself, allowing better understanding of their behavior.
Computer-Based Training
This method of training will involve the use of computers and computer-based instructional materials as the primary medium of instruction. Computer-based training programs will be useful to structure and present instructional materials, as well as facilitate the learning process for the trainee.

All this just need to be reworded. NOT APA nor MLA needed.
Question 1
Distinguish between the concepts of mission and vision. Provide examples in your explanation.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
(needs to be re-worded)
Mission and vision statement are used in many organization to lay out who they and to identify their business to the external and internal customers. A vision statement is the foundation of an organization. It clearly states to the internal and external customers what the organization is all about. For example for the 375th Air Mobility Wing vision statement is “The Vision of the 375 Air Mobility Wing is providing precise combat capabilities to the warfighter….always”. This clearly states what the vision of the organization is which is ensuring the warfighters have the combat capabilities to do their jog. With a mission statement it is used to state the values and of the organization and it is used to separate the organization from it competitors. For example the 375th Air Mobility Wing mission statement is “The mission of the 375th Air Mobility Wing is enabling combat power”. With this mission statement it clearly states that the organization will enable combat power which tells the employees within the organization that they are trusted with power ensure the warfighters have what they need in a timely manner.
Question 2
Are "strategic management" and "strategic planning" synonymous terms? Explain.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
(needs to be re-worded)
Strategic management and strategic planning are considered synonymous terms because they are both used to discuss how organizations make decisions regarding their business vision and mission and goals for the future. Even though the term strategic management is used in mainly within the realm of education and strategic planning is used more in the business world they both follow the same concept. Both strategic management and strategic planning focus around organizations focus on strategy to remain competitive and diverse through the changing economy.
Question 3
Describe the strategic management process, and include how it is used by organizations.
Your response should be at least 75 words in length.
(needs to be re-worded)
The strategic management process has three stages which are strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and finally strategy evaluation. When looking at the strategy formulation this requires an organization to create the foundation of their organization. This includes creating a mission and vision statement and looking at what external and internal threats or opportunities that will affect the organization. When looking at the strategy implementation this entails an organization to establish objectives that will need to be meet and according to what time frame these objectives will be meet. This requires employ.

What is process evaluation?
Process evaluation uses empirical data to assess the delivery of
programs. In contrast to outcome evaluation, which assess the
impact of the program, process evaluation verifies what the
program is and whether it is being implemented as designed. Thus,
process evaluation asks "what," and outcome evaluation asks, "so
what?"
When conducting a process evaluation, keep in mind these three
questions:
1. What is the program intended to be?
2. What is delivered, in reality?
3. Where are the gaps between program design and delivery?
This workbook will serve as a guide for designing your own process
evaluation for a program of your choosing. There are many steps involved
in the implementation of a process evaluation, and this workbook will
attempt to direct you through some of the main stages. It will be helpful to
think of a delivery service program that you can use as your example as
you complete these activities.
Why is process evaluation important?
1. To determine the extent to which the program is being
implemented according to plan
2. To assess and document the degree of fidelity and variability in
program implementation, expected or unexpected, planned or
unplanned
3. To compare multiple sites with respect to fidelity
4. To provide validity for the relationship between the intervention
and the outcomes
5. To provide information on what components of the intervention
are responsible for outcomes
6. To understand the relationship between program context (i.e.,
setting characteristics) and program processes (i.e., levels of
implementation).
7. To provide managers feedback on the quality of implementation
8. To refine delivery components
9. To provide program accountability to sponsors, the public, clients,
and funders
10. To improve the quality of the program, as the act of evaluating is
an intervention.

5.1Case:TheRealWorldofTraining...WhatIsWrongHere?
Case1
Mechanics from dealerships across the country attended a three day training session put on by the manufacturer. The cost of the training, including travel and lodging was split
between the manufacturer and the dealerships. The focus of the training was on the electrical systems in three lines of automobiles. Given the number of trainees, it would
have been too expensive to provide three automobiles for each mechanic to work on and it would be nearly impossible to �ind a facility large enough to do so. So the training
was designed for the instructor to give instruction on the various systems and then to pose various problems that might occur. The trainees would then try to identify the
symptoms that would result. For example, the problem might be given as “The car has a burned-out capacitor.” The trainees would then try to identify the symptoms that would
appear (e.g., High current surge demands on the vehicle’s electrical systems can damage the electrical system, including the battery, alternator and voltage regulator.). The
training covered a wide range of electrical problems and the mechanics rated the program highly as they left. When doing a follow-up evaluation, the training director was
disappointed to learn that the dealerships reported that their mechanics showed no improvement in trouble shooting electrical problems.
Case2
You are the training director for a training program designed to prepare people to become certi�ied as program managers. The training is divided into �ive sections. Each
section consists of two days of training for each of four weeks. Each section has a different trainer who is an expert in the content of that section. At the end of each week, the
trainees take a test to measure what they have learned. You’ve just .

Assignment 2 RA 2 Personality Characteristics and Criminal Behavio.docxjosephinepaterson7611
Assignment 2: RA 2: Personality Characteristics and Criminal Behavior
A particular set of personality characteristics does not turn a person into a criminal. However, a criminal will have the same set of characteristics. This concept may not be easy to understand. Here is another example: all college graduates have attended college, but not everyone who attended college is a college graduate. The mistake "if A then B" is the same as "if B then A" is a common one in research, criminal investigation, and profiling.
Criminal profiling is a difficult task. Complete the following three parts and present it in your report.
Part I
Identify at least five offense characteristics of each of the following crimes: sex offense, murder, acquisitive crime, organized crime, and terrorism.
Part II
Choose two offenses for those listed in
Part I
. Using the selected characteristics, complete the following for each of the two offenses you selected:
Analyze the selected characteristics to develop a forensic profile for that particular type of offense. For example, how would you use the two offense characteristics you have selected for murder to develop inferences regarding the personality of a murderer?
Explain how an offender's level of cognitive and emotional functioning, as well as social and environmental factors, could contribute to his or her maladaptive behavior in each of the above offenses.
Identify and justify the types of tests and/or personality measures that might be used to gather additional information for each of the two offenses.
Identify and justify the type of collateral information you would need to learn about the offender in the case of each of the two crimes.
Part III
Identify the differences in ethical standards between a criminal investigation and a psychological interview.
Offer your recommendations for future research needed to advance the science and research of psychological profiling techniques.
Discuss the different ethical considerations one must follow as an investigator and as a psychologist.
Support your responses giving reasons and examples from 8–10 scholarly resources.
Write a 7- to 9-page report in a Microsoft Word document. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Assignment 2 RA 2 Contemporary Issues and Methods AnonymousIn t.docxjosephinepaterson7611
Assignment 2: RA 2: Contemporary Issues and Methods: Anonymous
In today's world, technology must be considered when examining the psychology of espionage. Additionally, societal response is a key in understanding the impact of these acts. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to analyze the relationship between cyber activity compromising national security information and the social media response.
The government organization for which you work has taken notice of the actions of a group named "Anonymous" against the Church of Scientology, among others. In order to better prepare, your organization wants you to analyze, from a forensic psychological perspective, a potentially significant compromise of national security information via a cyber attack. You have been instructed to use the attack on Scientology, the HBGary attack, or other significant cyber attacks credited to Anonymous as your basis of comparison.
Tasks:
Using the Argosy University online library resources and other reputable, valid sources, research the group Anonymous and its cyber-hacking activities, paying particular attention to the actions against the group's methods. Use your interrogatories (who, what, where, when, how, and why) to guide your research.
Write a 10- to 12-page report that analyzes the impact this group has (or may have) on the U.S. (societal impact, including economic and infrastructure), corporate America (business impact), and the government (political impact).
In your report, address the following:
Provide a synopsis of the group's methods, goals, and activities. Make sure you address its actions against its target as well as its overall activities, goals, and methods. Also, include an explanation of the group's members and its makeup (e.g., the demographics and characteristics of the group members).
Discuss motivations and possible explanations for the group's behavior. Identify the psychological constructs and processes and explain the group's actions. For example, describe what types of social psychological constructs reinforce its membership. Social psychology research on group dynamics will help in this explanation.
Analyze the impact of a potential attack on the US government. At minimum, address the following:
How vulnerable is the US government to a potential cyber attack?
What parts of the IC are most affected by a potential cyber attack on US systems? Why?
Analyze the impact of a potential attack on society. At minimum, address the following:
What role would the social media play in future incidents of espionage and counterintelligence (CI) activities?
What would be society's response to the attack? Would society be supportive or nonsupportive? How would it be divided? Justify your answers.
What would be the real and intangible consequences of Anonymous's hacking activities? What would be the positive and negative impacts of its actions on society? Overall, would society benefit from or be hurt by such actions? Justify your answers..

Assignment 2 Policy IdentificationAccording to the Council .docxjosephinepaterson7611
Assignment 2: Policy Identification
According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 5: Engage in Policy Practice:
Social workers understand that human rights and social justice, as well as social welfare and services, are mediated by policy and its implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. Social workers understand the history and current structures of social policies and services, the role of policy in service delivery, and the role of practice in policy development. Social workers understand their role in policy development and implementation within their practice settings at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels and they actively engage in policy practice to effect change within those settings. Social workers recognize and understand the historical, social, cultural, economic, organizational, environmental, and global influences that affect social policy. They are also knowledgeable about policy formulation, analysis, implementation, and evaluation.
Walden’s MSW program expects students in their specialization year to be able to:
Evaluate the implication of policies and policy change in the lives of clients/constituents.
Demonstrate critical thinking skills that can be used to inform policymakers and influence policies that impact clients/constituents and services.
This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education.
To prepare
: Working with your field instructor, identify a social problem that is common among the organization (or its clients) and research current policies at that state and federal levels that impact the social problem. Then, from a position of advocacy, identify methods to address the social problem (i.e., how you, as a social worker, and the agency advocate to change the problem). You are expected to specifically address how both you and the agency can effectively engage policy makers to make them aware of the social problem and the impact that the policies have on the agency and clients.
The Assignment (2-3 pages):
Identify the social problem
Explain rational for selecting social problem
Describe state and federal policies that impact the social problem
Identify specific methods to address the social problems
Explain how the agency and student can advocate to change the social problem

Assignment 2 Marketing of the Acquisition by EDUSIn this assign.docxjosephinepaterson7611
Assignment 2: Marketing of the Acquisition by EDUS
In this assignment, you will research information related to the marketing and promotion of the acquisition by EDUS and provide an assessment.
Click here to review the EDUS case
and consider the following:
Topics for Research and Analysis
Promotional Goals
: Identify specific objectives related to the promotion of EDUS's acquisition of the institution. In addition, identify specific objectives related to informing potential students of new capabilities and offerings resulting from the acquisition. (Promotional goals vary. Some organizations need to create awareness of their product's benefits compared to competitors. Other promotional goals may involve communicating new uses for an item, or informing customers or lower prices.)
Business Environment
: Identify cultural and legal factors that might influence promotional decisions – both in announcing the acquisition within the region and recruiting new students to the institution. (In some countries, certain information is required in television commercials selling products aimed at children.)
Media Plan
: Analyze media availability to determine cost-efficient methods of communicating with potential students within the country and within the geographic region. (While television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet may be common in industrialized countries, developing economies may require other different media. In some countries, advertising messages are broadcast through large speakers mounted on moving trucks.)
Promotional Strategy
: Compare the benefits of push-and-pull promotions for acquiring new students at the institution. Devise a promotional strategy that will help EDUS expand the student body and also inform potential students of increased capability of the institution resulting from this acquisition.
Economic, Cultural, and Political-Legal Environment
: Investigate the economic, cultural, and political-legal environment that might affect promotional messages and media relevant to this acquisition.
Recommended Actions
: Recommend EDUS actions related to promotional goals, needed adaptations due to cultural or legal factors, and a media plan. Provide evidence to support your recommendations.
Conclusions
: Draw conclusions about the material you have presented. The opinions or judgments you present should be supported by your research.
By the due date assigned
, submit a PowerPoint presentation (approximately 10 slides) providing your analysis and research findings on the topics indicated. You are expected to include statistical data when possible, including tables, graphs, and other visuals that support and enhance your study. Most importantly, all written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources! Submit your document to the
Submissions Area

Assignment 2 meets the following course objectives:
Apply a sociological perspective to the social world.
Analyze contemporary social issues using the sociological imagination and use sociological theories and concepts to analyze everyday life.
Demonstrate the ability to identify, locate, and retrieve information related to the topics in the course.
Purpose
The primary goal of this exercise is to apply your developing sociological knowledge and skills to the analysis of a current event.
Writing Expectations
This should be 4-6 pages long, double-spaced, 12 pt font (arial or times new roman), with 1" margins.
Instructions:
Choosing a Current Event.
A current event refers to something that is happening in the world at present and they are usually described on the news and in mass media. You must choose a report (written, from the radio, or televised) of an event that has been reported on within 3 months of the assignment deadline. Remember, the event you choose must have some relevance to the study of society, and you must properly cite the source from which you got your report.
Describe the Current Event.
Second, you will need to provide a brief summary of the current event. This should include details such as location, timing (i.e is this an ongoing event, does it appear to be a one time event, is this an example of an event that happens frequently), people involved, and any analysis offered by the report(er).
Analyzing the Current Event.
The final step in the process is conducting an analysis of the current event using knowledge you have gained from the course to-date. The most important thing here is that the analysis should not just be your opinion about the current event, but grounded in sociological theory and prior research. You will need to
use at least 4 sociological concepts
covered in this course to analyze the current event (i.e. social construction, stratification, social control, crime, deviance). You are strongly encouraged to use and cite sources. Sociological concepts should be clearly identified, defined and then applied. Any paraphrasing or direct quotes used from another source should include APA formatted in-text citations and a full reference at the end of the essay.
This course has “Resubmission” status enabled to help you if you realize you submitted an incorrect or blank file, or if you need to submit multiple documents as part of your Assignment. Resubmission of an Assignment after it is graded, to attempt a better grade, is not permitted.
DISCLAIMER: Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Assignment 2 Needs AssessmentDue Week 5 and worth 175 points.docx
1. Assignment 2: Needs Assessment
Due Week 5 and worth 175 points
You and your assigned classmate(s) have formed a human
resource consulting company. You have been hired to provide
training to the sales force for an automobile dealership. As part
of your preparation for this consulting engagement, you and
your team members must determine how best to approach the
automobile dealership to engage the interest of the decision
makers. Your part of this assignment is to propose the types of
needs assessment tools that could be used to determine how to
design and develop the automobile dealerships training
programs. These could include software, models, or analysis
methods. Once you complete your need assessment, you must
now meet with the owner of the dealership to discuss the needs
assessment. Do Not Create a Training Program!!!
From the perspective of a team member, write a three to four (3-
4) page paper in which you:
1. Prepare, in outline form, the process your team could use to
conduct the needs assessment for your client based upon the
articles you selected. (You will use a hierarchical topic and
sentence outline for this paper only.)
Review chapter 4 on needs assessments. It discusses different
types of assessments. Select the best one(s) to use to gather
information. Keep in mind that you are trying to find out the
organizations needs related to their sale force. Hence, you need
to outline the method you are going to use to gather information
and make a recommendation to management on what type of
training may be required. Use this information in conjunction
with your research from the week 3 discussion.
2. Identify two (2) possible impediments to this approach and
discuss how you will overcome them.
The text also discusses obstacles to conducting needs
2. assessments such as time, cost, leadership buy-in, employee
willingness to participate. The most common are time to
conduct a thorough assessment and cost. You should mention
the others briefly as supporting information.
3. Evaluate the feasibility of your approach to what is
commonly done in the field.
Feasibility is the likelihood your process would happen in this
industry. Is your process a standard practice?
4. Explain why your needs assessment is critical to the
development of the training program you plan to deliver.
Your goal here is to answer what can happen if you develop
training without understanding the training needs and why it is
important to determine the issues correctly to avoid wasting
time and money, in addition to not solving the problem.
Remember you are training the sales force but the training may
not be sales related it could be a process, time management, or
low morale. This is what your consulting company has been
hired to find out.
5. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this
assignment.
Two resources in addition to your textbook for maximum points.
Review the week 3 discussion thread where you can find other
types of needs assessment processes. If you use one of those
models make sure you identify the model. You can use the
reference you cited in your post for this paper. Refer to pages
113 -130 to design your outline.

How technology makes college students happy
Happiness is essential since it constitutes a final goal of
human beings. Happiness is a thing that one aspires and its
search motivates the human actions. Happiness is something
experienced by people. The scientific study of happiness is
based on the conception of happiness as a human experience and
on the measurement of happiness.
Technology has been a major component in our daily
lives and mostly the young generation in particular the college
students. In college, mobile phones, tablets are laptops shapes
the life of a student. Personally I see technology as a factor
which can make college student happy. Technology helps in
reshaping and upgrading the education systems and on top of
that, the technology devices are used in entertaining the
students. For instance mobile devices are used widely in all
education system stages for various purposes. Such devices
allow students to interact with their fellow students and friends.
Positive effects of technology on happiness among college
students. Technology has a positive effect at least during
particular periods of time by providing the college students with
a wide range of new accessories and improving their quality.
A bigger percentage of students is helped by technology in
increasing their happiness as compared to those who are
disappointed by it. Digital technology continues to enhance the
aspects of college life and increasing happiness. Although
technologies are created with a sincere desire to advance
understanding of cognition, mood, etc., or with the pretension
of facilitating the control of our response, the real
implementation of the devices and the techniques is quite
different.
Happiness is an experience which can never be excluded
6. when talking about basic necessities for healthy living. Among
other factors technology can be considered as a chief
contributor of happiness among college students.

How Does Technology Makes College Students Happy?
Technology has been a major component in our daily lives and
mostly the young generation specifically, college students. In
college, mobile phones, tablets and laptops shape the students’
lives. Personally, I see technology as a factor which can makes
college students happy. Technology helps in reshaping and
upgrading the education systems. On top of that, the technology
devices are used in entertaining the students. For instance,
mobile devices are used widely in all education system stages
for various purposes. Such devices allow students to interact
11. with their fellow students and friends. Most important
influences on level of student’s level of satisfaction are social
relationships, resources and the educational environment,
personal goals achieving and extracurricular activities.
Advantages of technology to students when in school students
are taught using technology whereby the course instructor show
the real images e.g. by using a projector to display a video and
by this way, the student is able to understand the concept and
more so enjoy a lot which make it hard to forget that certain
topic. Another way how a student can enjoy life in college
through technology is through use of gadgets like laptops in
watching enjoyable movies .Also, others enjoying playing PC
games among other games and they prefer praying indoors
rather than going outside .Additionally technology, makes
college students happy because when given hard assignments,
they can research more, get better and accurate information
from the website. There are very many technology platforms
that college students use in sharing, posting viewing and
commenting about a certain picture for instance one can post a
photo of their own when maybe in an occasion like their own
birthday party. The platforms include Twitter, Facebook,
WhatsApp, and Instagram among others. Technology also has
several platforms for example, the advanced ways of storing
their ways of their notes for instance in memory cards or flash
discs which is less bulky compared to carrying notebooks all
over. Students enjoy more while chatting and connecting with
their friends back at home.
Technology also includes better and faster transport means like
airplanes and choppers which they can use in touring various
countries or even within their school either for education gain
or for enjoyment purposes. College students are given the
opportunities to research about something using various
technological platforms and so various projects which are
helpful in one way or the other. Without technology, students’
life in courage would be very boring. Majority of the college
12. students are always happy with every advancement of
technology because every platform and every advancement
tends to favor them in a major way either directly or indirectly.
The lives of college students are very important and they should
always be happy while associating with their opposite sex
gender while communicating even from a different nation since
this will assist them to find romance friends and start dating
even while in college who in future might end up being couples
and starting a family. Therefore, when thinking about
determinants of happiness in college students, technology comes
first.

Introduction Topic
Monsters are considered to be frightening super natural
creatures, that have super natural powers and can cause harm to
human beings. There is an endless list of types of monsters with
examples of dragons, ogres, mermaids and unicorn as the most
common. On this study we will focus on the vampire as a
monster in visual art.
Change over time
Vampires have had significant change in the way they ae
portrayed. In early days, vampires were portrayed as creatures
with long nails, bad looks and whose survival means was
sucking blood. However, this has changed because they are
13. portrayed as immortal creatures with attractive looks in human
body. They also have a conscience and are in most cases torn
between sucking blood and behaving as normal human beings.
Controversy
Controversy in vampirism stems from whether vampires are real
or is just mere myths; for instance, in Britain, vampirism
became known in the 18th century, when there emerged a
vampire scare due to the mysterious deaths of people. However,
scholars came in hand to prove that vampires do not exist and
that the many cases of deaths were due to an illness.
Significance
This topic is important because it will give in-depth information
about vampires. In today’s world, the use of vampires in
movies, paintings and novels is unavoidable. We therefore need
to have an understanding of vampires to get the concepts of
these articles, movies and paintings. With this, perhaps we will
overcome the fear of vampires and appreciate their significance
in the contemporary world. This topic should be of interest to
everyone, because we will encounter tales, movies and paintings
everywhere. We therefore need to have knowledge on vampires
to be able to appreciate these works.
Concision
In this study, I will start by looking at the history of vampires
and how they came into existence. After this, I will focus on the
modern-day vampire and the proof of their existence. This will
be coupled up with the different ways in which vampires are
represented today through art.

Investigating Happiness at College:
Some questions that will help you form your own
research
questions:
● Is happiness a necessity or a perk in college life?
● What do the expectations of happiness and the
pursuit of
happiness reveal about a specific college group,
college
students in general, or another college-related group?
● Considering both on-campus factors and off-campus
factors
(at least at first), what most influences your group’s
happiness (or unhappiness)?
● Is there one major factor (on campus or off
campus) you
would want to investigate that affects students’
happiness?
● How do the expectations about happiness that
society has in
18. general or a certain specific segment of society (for
instance, parents) has, relate to college or college
students?
● How much do preconceived notions and expectations
about
college life affect student happiness?
● Hard work is hard to enjoy. So how do students
balance that
hard work with the other joys of life?
This semester you will be investigating happiness and
some aspect of college life. You will either pick
some SPECIFIC GROUP you are interested in
studying. Here are some examples of a SPECIFIC
GROUP : first-year athletes (or better: freshman
football redshirts), sorority members, RAs, members of
religious groups, art students, students who work on
campus, international students (or better: Puerto
Rican college students), cafeteria workers, and so
forth.
OR you will investigate a certain aspect of college
life that FACTORS into either the overall college
students’ happiness or some segment of college
students’ happiness. Here are some examples of
FACTORS : technology, parking, textbooks, teaching
style, major selection, on-campus jobs, work,
parental pressure, procrastination, and so forth—though
I would suggest tying these to a specific group,
such as first-year students or early admission students,
19. I won’t require it.
Just note : it is better to start too specifically on a
narrow GROUP or FACTOR ; then, if the need
arises,
you can broaden the GROUP or FACTOR . You
might start your investigation with Puerto Rican
students, but find you have to expand it to students
from US territories, then students whose first
language is Spanish, and so forth.
Note that it is usually more interesting to study a
group that you are not a member of or that you
want to
understand better; however, this is not a requirement.
MOST IMPORTANTLY : FOLLOW WHAT
YOU ARE MOST INTERESTED IN—BEING
INTERESTED IN YOUR TOPIC MAKES A HUGE
DIFFERENCE FOR HOW YOUR SEMESTER GOES!
ENGLISH 102: RESEARCH ASSIGNMENTS
● The Pitch
● Prospectus & Annotated Bibliography Essay 1
● Essays 2 & 3
● Essay 4
THE PITCH (tentative due date 2/5 & 2/7)
You will make a minute-long pitch in class (each
class decided to do this method). You will justify
your
planned topic and why you want to research it. You
20. will center the pitch around your research question.
By the time you submit your pitch, you will have
familiarized yourself with preliminary research about
your topic to get a general view of it and its
viability. What is the question about your topic that
you
want an answer to this semester? What have you
found in your preliminary research about it? Why is
it
valuable to research and study this specific topic?
Think Shark Tank--or how about guppy tank .
PROSPECTUS & ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ESSAY
1 (tentative due date 2/21)
1) In the Prospectus (500-750 words/MLA format),
you will explain your research topic for the semester
and what you plan to do for each essay. The
prospectus is more informal and you can use “I” in
it; it
won’t include sources because you should be writing
it from your general knowledge of the topic
without referring to specific sources. See pages 215-
18 in C&RG and my guidelines below. Note that
this is not just something you can write from the
top of your head. This takes a lot of legwork and
preliminary thinking, discussing, and research to be
sure it is a viable topic with viable mini-topics for
essays 2 and 3.
2) The annotated bibliography is a list of sources
21. that will serve as the foundation for your research
this
semester. It is a list of at least 10 sources (see
the specific requirements below) in MLA Works Cited
style, but in addition to the source information, you
provide information about the sources such as author
information and context, the type of source it is, a
summary of the source, quick evaluation, specific
sections that are of interest, your reactions to it,
and how you might use this in your essays this
semester.
See the specific directions in C&RG 219-220 about
multi-source annotated bibs and my example that is
linked in the assignment when we did our first
annotated bib entry. Please note, that the summary of
the
source must be your own summary—you cannot just
use the abstract that comes with the article!
Plagiarism rules apply! In each entry think: context ,
main point, summary, evaluation, and reflection
about how it might work into your essays this
semester.
The bibliography must contain the following types of
sources, but you are welcome and encouraged to
have more:
● at least 4 scholarly secondary sources (from
academic journals)
● at least 1 other secondary source (reliable but not
necessarily scholarly)
● at least 2 nonfiction primary sources
● at least 1 creative primary source
● the remaining sources should be reliable and
appropriate for academic essays.
22. WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR PROSPECTUS
Introduction
See the section about the prospectus in the
Composition and Rhetoric Guide for more specific
help.
Describe your group or the factor you are
investigating and the connection to happiness. Why
you chose this group or factor and what about it
interests you. Say what you hope to argue/prove
OR, best, present your research question. You might
find writing and reviewing this paragraph
helps you with your pitch.
Each Body section 1-3 should develop most of the
following areas:
What you hope to discover/prove in this essay or
your limited research question geared to this
essay and any necessary explanation that will help
your audience. What opposition might say
(and perhaps how you might persuade them). What
specific categories of sources you might
look for and what sources do you already plan to
use. What primary sources you might use to
illustrate your point. What troubles you anticipate
having.
Body Section 1 (this corresponds to Essay 2-- make
sure you review the prompt for this essay below
before you tackle this !). For this essay you’ll have
two choices:
23. Option 1: explain a significant change in the group
or factor related to happiness and what you might
argue about it.
Option 2: You’ll do your own study on your
topic, and then in an essay modeled off a scholarly
research article, you will report what previous
scholars have said, how you conducted your study,
your findings from your own field research, and your
conclusions based on your research.
*For both options, you’ll discuss what type of field
study you are planning to conduct to gather
first-hand information and why you plan to use that
type.
Body Section Two (this corresponds to Essay 3--make
sure you review the prompt for this essay below!)
identifies and explains a controversial issue within
your topic and how you will tackle the argument.
Body Section Three (this corresponds to Essay 4--
make sure you review the prompt for this essay
below!)
explain why your research is important to pursue
and what impacts it might reveal. This essay will
try
to answer in an argument your main research
question for the semester. Also consider why your
audience should care about the group/factor you
focused on and what is the impact of your
24. findings on the group itself, students, colleges, and
possibly communities? You may also end up
discussing some of the implications for the future.
Conclusion
Why it is worth studying? Why is it important to
study? Overall opposition/what different sides will
say? Return to your thesis or research question and
consider what you think you’ll discover and
why.
Your annotated bibliography will then follow on a
new page but will be submitted in the same file as
the
prospectus.
ESSAYS 2-3, OVERALL REQUIREMENTS
● Each essay must make a well-supported argument
with well-integrated sources and be
based on the assigned prompts below. To get a
passing grade: you must support an
arguable thesis based on your own thoughts about
your topic and the sources you have
read and the research you have conducted; each must
also be a 1,000-1,300 words, have 5-6
sources minimum (see the individual requirements for
each essay) that are cited in the style
required for each essay. See the syllabus about the
other requirements as far as rough
draft, final draft, and revision submissions.
25. ● Sources must be well-integrated in the text of the
essay with the use of direct quotation,
summary, and paraphrase as well as in-text citations.
A Works Cited must be included, and
though it is the last page of your essay it does
not count as part of the word requirement!
● You will upload your drafts on Moodle.
● You will be asked to identify the portions of the
sources you used and submit hard copies of
your sources in a folder or files of your sources
online.
● Be sure to review the rubrics and checklist in
The Composition and Rhetoric Guide as you
draft and revise!
ESSAY 2: ARGUMENT/1,000 WORDS/6 INTEGRATED
SOURCES/MLA/WORKS CITED
(tentative due date 3/16)
Option 1: Argue a significant change in the group
or factor related to happiness.
Option 2: You’ll do your own study on your
topic, and then in an essay modeled off a scholarly
research article, you will report what previous
scholars have said, how you conducted your study,
26. your findings from your own field research, and your
conclusions based on your research.
Things to consider if you are writing about change:
Have things always been this way? If not, what
sparked a change? What caused the problem/issue to
begin or become significant? What kind of impact
did the significant change have on members of your
selected group or on the impression of the factor
you are focused on? How do current college students
reflect/or not reflect this change?
If you are going to conduct your own study,
you’ll figure out the best way to try to collect
information
about the group or factor, how you’ll conduct your
study, how you plan to collect information from the
subjects you are studying. You’ll also consider what
other researchers have found as you figure this all
out. Finally, you’ll make some conclusions about your
findings.
Required minimum source guidelines:
● at least 1 scholarly secondary source from an
academic journal
● at least 1 secondary nonfiction book source (does
not need to be scholarly)
● at least 1 field research primary source that you
conducted yourself.
● at least 1 primary nonfiction source or at least 1
creative media primary
source (try to have both of these because you’ll be
more likely to meet the
final essay 4 required sources)
27. ● a reliable source of any type (student’s choice) that
is appropriate for an
academic audience and purpose
ESSAY 3: ARGUMENT/1,000 WORDS/5 INTEGRATED
SOURCES/MLA & APA/WORKS
CITED & REFERENCES
(tentative due date 4/6)
For the third research essay, you will make a formal
argument regarding a controversial issue within
your topic having to do with the group or factor
you have been studying this semester. This will be
an
academic essay, but if you wish you could gear
your argument to your particular group or college
students in general. So for instance, if you are
studying how parents affect college student happiness,
you might choose to write to an audience of college
students to convince them of something about their
parents OR you might write to an audience of
parents to try to convince them of something about
their
college students. If you don’t want to aim toward a
specific audience, you’ll be writing to a general
audience.
Required minimum source guidelines:
Three scholarly secondary sources
Two primary
28. ESSAY 4: ARGUMENT/2,000 WORDS/MUST BE
SUBMITTED TO MOODLE/10
SOURCES/WORKS CITED
(tentative due date 4/24)
All of the same submission standards for Essays 2-3
listed above apply to this essay except the word
count and number of sources: 2000 words and a
minimum of 10 sources as listed below.
This essay is the culmination of all your work this
semester. Based on what you have learned this
semester, you will argue the role of happiness in
your group or how it relates to the factor you’ve
chosen. Can happiness factor into student success?
What is student success: social? academic?
self-confidence? resiliency? a good job? a proud
family? Should students expect to be happy most of
the
time in college? Alternatively, do students understand
that hard work and tough choices may lead to
greater happiness later? Should colleges (including
students) do more to promote happiness and
well-being? Should students care more about their own
foundational happiness? What are the
implications for the future? What needs to be studied
more?
You will be using parts of your other essays to
complete this one, BUT this should feel like a new
essay
and not just a copy and paste job! You most likely
have to do some new research to support your
thesis.
29. Required minimum source guidelines:
Seven scholarly (at least three academic journals)
Three primary (at least one creative source)
See my syllabus about what to do if Essay 1
doesn’t go well & revising Essays 2, & 3 for a
new grade
and the required procedure and last day of
submission for doing this. If you are unhappy with
your
grade, you should come to see me immediately and
use the writing center to get help. There is a
portfolio review option as well if you have made
improvements over the semester—see the explanation
in the Composition and Rhetoric Guide . Please ask
for help if you are feeling stuck!
REFLECTION PORTION OF YOUR ESSAY GRADE
You will be asked to submit a rough draft with a
detailed description of what you think is working
and not working and why. Failure to reflect in
depth will lower your essay grade and I will not
give
feedback on any essay that does not include this
detailed reflection. This draft and your reflections on
it
may count toward your overall grade on that essay.
When you finish a final draft of essays 2, 3, and
4, on the next class day, you will submit a
30. reflection
that’s at least three paragraphs that contain the
following:
♥ Paragraph 1: You will reflect on what’s working
and not working on the essay and WHY this is
and assign a letter grade to your essay that you
believe would be fair based on the final product
(not necessarily the effort you put into it)—you can
use the self-analysis rubric to guide you.
♥ Paragraph 2: You’ll discuss the decisions you made
during the writing of the essay, both on the
page and in how you allotted time and effort. So
you might discuss why you tried an informal
but catchy introduction and your decision to have a
two-paragraph conclusion with sources cited
in it, and then discuss that you really thought a lot
about writing the essay for the whole week but
when it came down to it you started to work on
the final draft at 9PM before it was due and you
ran out of time and energy.
♥ Paragraph 3: You’ll reflect on what you are
learning about writing and yourself as a writer.
Please be extra careful to follow my submission
instructions for drafts and final drafts.
