You have been assigned a reading by WMF Petrie; Diospolis Parva (posted as a pdf folder).
You needn’t read the whole volume; I would like you to concentrate on pp.(4-12) which outlines Petrie’s method.
Further information about Petrie’s method can be found in Bard in box 5-A, pp. 100-102.
For this discussion, answer the following questions;
1. Why does Petrie invent sequence dating? What kinds of artifacts does Petrie use to construct his relative sequence?
2. Why is the following statement important for “anchoring” Petrie’s method in time?
“The most clear series of derived forms is that of the wavy handled vases (Class W)…side by side with this (Class) W pottery… we have seen to be later than the rest, as it links to the historic age… lettered L,” (Petrie 1901:5).
3. Why do you think Petrie’s method reflects the passage of time?
Your answer should be 3-4 paragraphs.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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

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.

Moreover, as this influence, Tata might create the public stigma
about that the company provide a poor man’s car, although, Tata
would like to introduce their products as an affordable, all-
weather, family car (IOL Motoring, 2012).
Tata only owns a traditional design of vehicles. Currently, Tata
Motors tries to retrieve the first position of car supplier in the
domestic market, and they are also looked for the international
market by applying the new programme 2020 which consist of
new technical vehicles. However, there could own a high risk
for Tata reaches a goal because of the global competition.

Data Analysis
As can be seen the figure 3.3, there illustrates the market share
of commercial vehicles (CV) and passenger vehicles (PV) from
2010 to and 2014 in the domestic market (Tata Motor, 2014). In
additional, the other graph shows about the sale income of Tata
Motor from 2013 to 2014. From the market share graph, the sale
of commercial vehicles increased from 530 thousand in 2012 to
536 thousand in 2013, but from 2013 to 2014, the commercial
dropped sharply from 536 to 378. Hence, there also might affect
to the CV local market share from 2013 to 2014 which were
declined from 59.6% to 54.1%. For the passenger vehicles, it
was decreased stable from 2012 to 2014, from 333 thousand to
142 thousand, based on the diagram. In this reason, that lead to
the PV market share reduced from 13% in 2012 to 5.8% in 2014.
According to the altering sale of both commercial and passenger
vehicles in 2013 and 2014, the volume growth of Tata Motor
also decreased of 29.5% and 38.1% of each categories.

Figure 4: Tata Motor goal in next three year
Refer to the figure 4, Tata Motor illustrates their aim which to
reach those goals in next three years. As can be seen the figure,
the organization regards to keep all features continuous growth
up. Furthermore, they pay attention on the corporation social
responsibility, such as make a green environment, stress on tax
payment, and look on employees. For the employees, try to
increase the wage rate when company can keep earn and more
money. Moreover, Tata Motor needs to supply a good quality
products and services for customers, then they might become a
Tata Motor loyalty customers.
5. Alternative Strategies
Tata Motor has to establish one particular department which is
focused on their employees’ quality about the knowledge and
skills. Therefore, this particular division could ask the
employees have a retraining during a mid-year, for the purpose
of guarantee all staffs ability in controllable. Moreover, Tata
Motor might provide a course for new employees, or any staffs
want to improve their self.
9. Currently, Tata Motor quality standard might accord to the local
and global market requirement. As the managements of one
firm, every steps of production process should be concerned on,
to ensure all raw materials are the best quality through the
specific examination. Besides that, all test should be assisted by
the advanced machine, and they must follow the Total Quality
Management guidelines in hardheartedly by the support from
director. Based on those test results, that illustrate the quality
of products in guaranty and safety for use by the customers.
According to the figure 4, there demonstrate the Tata Motor
goal in next three years. Within this goal, the company might
receive the good result in the safety way in both local and
global market. Moreover, they can retake their organization
image based on their plan which is going to do the corporation
social responsibility. Therefore, the management need to lead
the employees to achieve the company goal in the next three
years with a good management strategy.
Tata Motor has signed an agreement to purchase Jaguar and
Land Rover as a partnership company (Carty, n.d.). For both
Jaguar and Land Rover, there supply a luxury car on the world,
hence, they might own a good technical which is useful for Tata
Motor. If Tata Motor would like to invest to the luxury car
market, Tata Motor could learn those knowledge from the
partnership. Furthermore, this technical also help to ameliorate
the current products that is Tata Nano, in addition, Tata Motor
could come out with more new car design, when they apply the
new technical.
For the Tata Motor, there possess a lack of new and
innovational products. Hence, they need to make a move
forward in the products design in a next few years. There could
make a collaboration between the Tata Motor R&D plants and
Jaguar and Land Rover, to create a unique design and all
research might look on the new technical and technology.
Furthermore, the firm can collect information and ideas from
current staff through the suggestion basket or online source
also. This strategy also help the employees to feel more
10. confident and existed during the workplace.
6. Recommendation
Tata Motor quality standard might accord to the local and

11. Furthermore, this technical also help to ameliorate the current

Furthermore, the firm can collect information and ideas from
current staff through the suggestion basket or online source
also. This strategy also help the employees to feel more
confident and existed during the workplace.
7. Justification of Recommendations
Normally, to solve a products quality problems that will discuss
intact quality control scheme. The reason to choose this
management program as this consist of wider area about the
worldwide norm in control of quality, such as ISO 9001 quality
management system. Furthermore, this program could keep the
steps process in the safety way. Within this scheme, Tata Motor
might make the quality of products in sustainable approach.
Another potential when apply this strategy that Tata Motor
might advance in the new nations which not ask the high safety
requirement. In additional, the company can increase their sale
income with the products which are already enhanced.
Retraining could be not a good choice for the Tata Motor as
training just to provide an additional course and find out the
person who might take a management role in the company. The
main problems for the automobile manufacturing is the limited
12. and lack of raw materials from the suppliers. Besides that, the
other issue exists in the company that is the human failure
during the productions process. Therefore, the risk for the
retraining strategy is the staffs might unhappy when they work
overtime as the retraining class without extra payment.
Both exchanging the technical or technologies with partnership
and discover the new car design which would be a best
suggestion for Tata Motor. This opportunity is for two different
kinds of automobile manufacturing work together. The potential
when collaborative between Tata Motor employees and Jaguar
and Land Rover expertise that could lead to the satisfying
results as they could encourage innovativeness together.
Furthermore, Jaguar and Land Rover are as the high class car
manufacturing, they can give the technologies and technical to
support Tata Motor.
8. Implementation
First of all, Tata Motor has to establish the standard of quality
during the productions process which match to the global
requirement based on the intact quality management. The main
step of this program is checking clearly the raw material which
is the major material for produce the vehicles. In additional,
this process should be run under the basis of Total Quality
Management guidelines and the support from director. After
that, the products will be published local and global after the
goods already pass all test and satisfy the standard. Moreover,
Tata Motor might get the software support from the partnership
Jaguar and Land Rover. Besides the software support, Tata
Motor can get the high quality employees and training from the
partnership.
Nevertheless, there could have barriers when Tata Motor applies
the strategies, such as a new market preference and requirement.
13. If Tata Motor follows the technology development that could be
considered as barrier, as it affect to the automobile business
policy. Thus, the program management should be fitted to the
current change, in additional, the company needs to contend
with other competitors and make the innovative improvement.
Nowadays, as the R&D team, they need to do research on the
new generation customers on the global market. Furthermore,
this research should be done under the collaboration of Tata
Motor and partnership – Jaguar and Land Rover, to discover the
new products, based on the new market requirement.

OUTLINE FOR CASE ANALYSIS AND REPORTS FOR TATA
MOTOR
1.0 Source Problems: (MAJOR PROBLEM) can be taken from
newspaper or any case study
This is a general statement of the underlying, fundamental
problem or core issue. It is important to distinguish between
symptoms of the problem, and the problem itself. Frequently
15. the source problem precedes the current problems in the case.
(one short paragraph)
(medical example: tonsillitis)
2.0 Secondary Problems:
These are more specific, current and observable problems and
derive from the source problem. They frequently are the
problems immediately evident in the case. Do not write three
sections: all problems should be listed under short or long
term. (Three quarters of a page).
(medical example: fever, loss of appetite, cough)
etc. not generating enough profit
List 3 secondary problem which leads to 1 major problem and
explain
Short Term:
Current problems of recent origin, which can be solved within a
period of months without major commitments of capital,
technology, finance or managerial effort.
(business example: overstocking, high prices, labour shortage)
2.1
2.2
2.3
Long Term:
Problems which have existed for years, and which involve long-
term trends in the internal or external environment. They will
reuire solutions spread over a period longer than, say, a year,
and may demand major allocations of capital, technology,
finance and managerial effort.
16. (business example: obsolete products, out-pf-date production
process technology, lack of adequate plant capacity)
2.4
2.5
3.0 Analysis: (SWOT & PESTLE)
Case facts which are crucial to the problems as defined are
called “evidence”. They should not be mere repetition of case
facts, but should rather reflect the processes of evaluation,
synthesis, careful interpretation and insight. The analyst should
“read between the lines”. This might involve the calculation of
financial rations, trend lines, growth rates, etc. in order to
reorganise data to yield not-so-obvious facts. These “new”
facts can be used as case evidence in support of problem
definitions and proposed solutions. Economic, financial and
marketing data should be analysed. Theory, concepts, models
and research evidence should be used as key to open the case.
“Course language” should be integrated with “case language”.
High marks require skilful integrationof concepts and case
evidence. This section should comprise 50% of the report.
(three pages)
4.0 Criteria of Evaluation: Goals (Objectives/Performance
Targets/KPI’S/Decision Criteria), and Their Time Frames. (
Look for past financial reports)
Clear, concise statement of the goals, standards, targets or
objectives that the analyst will use to measure the effectiveness
of alternatives considered. Alternatives are tested against these
criteria to assess their effectiveness in solving the problem.
This is a statement of what you want to accomplish; alternatives
describe how you plan to accomplish it. These are decision
rules or decision criteria. Examples: a 10%return on
investment by 2012; a 25% share of the medium car market
segment by 2011; elimination of industrial strikes for at least a
two-year period. Criteria should look like table 2.3 Some
17. Typical Business Objectives in Hofer’s reference at ECMS.
(half page)
Set target for 3 years, 2016,2017,2018
5.0 Alternatives:
A comprehensive listing of all major feasible courses of action
open to the decision-maker. The analyst should avoid repetition
and duplication. Usually all available options can be reduced to
five or six alternatives. Usually all available options can be
reduced to five or six alternatives. These must be viable,
practical and realistic. They need not be mutually exclusive,
i.e. the analyst may opt for two or even three of these
alternatives in her final recommendations. It is essential to
decide who the decision –maker will be, and the likelihood that
she will take the action recommended by the analyst. These
alternatives must be fully developed into one paragraph strategy
statements as per Hofer and Schendel’s (p42-44) characteristics,
explained in table 2.8 Characteristics of Effective Strategy
Statement in Hofer’s reference at ECMS. (three quarters of a
page)
6 Strategies Statement
Short Term:
5.1
5.2
5.3
Long Term:
5.4
5.5
6.0 Recommended Strategy: Choose 3 strategies (Copy and
paste from 5.0)
This is the action you propose to solve the problem identified in
(1.0) and (2.0) and is selected from the range of alternatives
presented. It must be restated. It is acceptable to cut and paste
18. from section 5.0 (one or two paragraphs)
Short Term:
6.1
6.2
Long Term:
6.3
7.0 Justification of Recommendations:
In this section, the analyst demonstrates why the alternative
selected is the most effective in attacking the problem, and why
the other alternatives were rejected. Evidence (from section
3.0) is used to support the recommendations and to reject the
actions not accepted. It should be shown how and why
recommended action will meet the criteria of evaluation, and
thus solve the problem, and how and why the rejected strategies
will fail or be less effective. Short term solutions should be
related to short term problems and long term proposals to long
term problems.
In this discussion, the analyst should describe e the risks and
opportunities, costs and benefits, and strengths and weaknesses
of each alternative, and thus build a convincing case in favour
of the decision he is recommending. Furthermore, it is essential
to scrutinise all alternatives to ascertain whether the adoption of
a particular solution to solve the problem, will create a new
problem. To earn high marks it is essential to draw on research
evidence or theory to argue for the strategic choice. (one and a
quarter pages)
Compare the total 6 strategies and argue why choose the 3
strategies.
8.0 Implementation, Control and Follow-up:
In this concluding section, the analysis should list the clear,
specific steps to be taken to adopt the proposed solution. What
obstacles may be expected, and how should these be overcome?
What policy or organisation changes are indicated? What
controls are needed to avoid a recurrence of the problem in the
19. future? For example, if the action recommended is to retrench
50 assembly line workers, what union reaction can be expected
and what contingency plans are available to deal with obstacles
that could arise during implementation of decisions? (two
paragraphs)
