Context
A key to self-directed learning is reflection. Reflection enables the ability to examine
situations in order to better understand the surrounding context and identify potential
improvements for the future. This assessment aims to develop your awareness and
reflective learning ability while also assessing your understanding of the topics covered in
modules 1 and 2.
Reflective writing ordinarily occurs in the first person (and you can do so here) and works
best when you think deeply about a topic and look at both the positives as well as
opportunities to improve in a situation. Examples within the context of this assessment
might be:
• I found taking the Emotional Intelligence self-assessment
challenging/interesting/useful/ a new experience because...
• Mayer and Salovey (1997) emphasise the importance of perceiving, accessing and
generating emotions to develop emotional intelligence, which is not something I

I. INTRODUCTION
In this project, you and your group will need to apply a theory of motivation from the course
textbook to a famous person of your choosing. This famous person must be someone who has a
motivation issue. You will need to 1. Explain this theory briefly, 2. Identify how this theory would
see the motivation challenge of the person you are studying and 3. Identify how this theory would
try to help this person with their motivation.
II. LEARNING OUTCOMES
The project addresses the following outcomes as defined in the Course Syllabus:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of motivational psychology through knowledge of motivational
behavioral principles.
2. Demonstrate critical thinking skills necessary to critically assess actual situations explaining human
behavior.
3. Evaluate scientific studies with an understanding of what constitutes a valid research method.
4. Demonstrate effective communication skills by reading primary and secondary source material,
discussing course content, and writing papers.
5. Demonstrate understanding of the diverse assumptions and values that motivate us and our
behaviors.
III. PROJECT FILES
The associated project files are on Moodle
IV. PROJECT SUMMARY (SCENARIO)
Motivation is a critical part of a healthy and productive life. Overcoming challenges to motivation
plays an important role in overcoming difficult times and achieving one’s goals. By understanding
how to apply a theory of motivation to another person, you will have a better idea of how to apply
this theory to yourself.
V. DELIVERABLES AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
DELIVERABLE 1 (10%): CASE STUDY “MOTIVATIONAL ANALYSIS”
For this deliverable, you will need to prepare an analysis of motivation on the famous person in which you
apply a knowledge of motivation. Your submission must have one reference for each member in the group.
Your case study must follow provided rubrics and count 1000 -1500 words. You must include in-text citations
and a references in APA style. Your submission needs to have depth and to show that you have thought
through it well and researched it well. Where students only provide content that is common sense, quite
obvious, vague, simple, and lacking in depth (ie: Our famous person should motivate himself by being positive
and giving himself rewards), students will lose points. Students are welcome to encourage positive thinking in
their papers, but should also write in a way that is specific, practical, yet meaningful. To avoid providing
information that is lacking in depth, students are encouraged to ask themselves questions ...
MODULE 1 CASE ASSIGNMENTManaging Individual BehaviorAssignment O.docx
MODULE 1 CASE ASSIGNMENT
Managing Individual Behavior
Assignment Overview
The cases in this class follow an experiential approach. This means you will reflect on your own experience in an organization and then apply the concepts from the module materials to
think critically
about these experiences and understand them better. The structure of the course and the assignments follow Kolb’s model of the adult learning process, which is discussed on the
Module 1 Home page
. [If you skipped the Module 1--Home page, you should read it now before you attempt to go any further.]
Case Assignment
Think about an experience you have had where you felt extremely motivated. Then, in a 4- to 6-page paper, analyze this experience according to the Kolb format below. Each subtitle represents a different section of the paper. You can use the subtitles as headings.
Introduction:
Discuss the topic of the paper and how you will approach it. It is best to write this section after you have written the rest of the paper.
Concrete Experience:
Begin with a specific situation/event. Describe the experience where you felt extremely motivated. Be objective and focus on just the facts: who, what, where, when, and how – similar to how a newspaper article is written -- as if you were composing a newspaper article.
Reflective Observation:
Reflect upon that experience from the multiple perspectives of other people involved or affected in the experience. Step back from the situation, look at the experience from your own viewpoint,
and
the viewpoints of all other parties involved or affected. You want to look at the circumstances surrounding the experience from every relevant perspective. Why was the experience motivating to you? What did others do that increased your motivation? Was the situation (or would the situation) also be motivating to others? (Note: Your discussion of theories and models from your module materials belongs in the following section.)
Abstract Conceptualization:
Use critical thinking skills in order to understand and interpret the experience at a deeper, more generalizable level. Interpret and understand the events you have described by drawing on the concepts, theories, and models in the background material from this module. What behavior patterns can you identify in yourself and others that are similar to the ones described in the material on motivation, values, and/or goals? How do these concepts and principles explain
why
you were motivated? What general principles of motivation can you derive from this analysis? Be sure to cite all references to concepts, ideas, and quotes you use that come from any outside source. Be sure to apply
at least
three concepts, theories, and/or models and cite all references to concepts, ideas, and/or quotes that you use from any outside source.
[This Abstract Conceptualization section is the “heart” of your paper. Using critical thinking skills, provide a clear, specific discussion on the logic, theo ...

Context
In the dynamic 21st century economy where mobility is often not only possible but also
integral to a successful career, being able to work in an intercultural and diverse
environment is essential. Organisations frequently need their people to develop their
capacity to work effectively in diverse teams and resolve or diffuse conflicts and
miscommunication quickly and efficiently.
The keys to your ability to work effectively in intercultural and diverse teams are the
development of emotional intelligence and awareness of cultural differences. Emotional
intelligence enables the ability to consciously examine group and team dynamics in real
time in order to facilitate effective individual and team performance.
This assessment aims to develop your understanding of how intercultural and diverse teams
function, and how you can use this knowledge to help them develop into high performing
teams.
BIZ102_Assessment 4 Brief.Docx Page 2 of 6
Instructions
The assessment requires the completion of an individual reflective report. You will analyse
the expected strengths and weaknesses of your group, then as a group, you will choose,
conduct and document a team-building activity. Each member of the group will then reflect
on their own contribution to the group, and how this may be improved. Finally, each
student will prepare an individual reflective report based on the experience.
It is expected that your report will:
• be written individually, but include some common elements with your teammates
• be presented in a business report format
• show evidence of research and application of concepts and theories
• demonstrate effective referencing skills (APA 6th ed. style)

Assessment item 3 - Critical Reflective Blogs
Value: 45%
Length: 700 words per blog (maximum)
Total: 2800 words
TASK
The purpose of this assignment is to complete critical reflective blogs for four OB topics covered in the subject. The aim of this assignment is to enable you to highlight thoughts on each topic as well as demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered in this subject.
In this assessment, you have to reflect on four OB topics of your choice. You can choose from the following topics:
• Topic 4: Getting the right people
• Topic 5: Work and job performance and conditions
• Topic 6: Assessing, influencing and rewarding performance
• Topic 7: Grouping individuals and behaviour; Organisational change; Organisational
culture
• Topic 8: Organisational processes and behaviour
• Topic 9: Leadership
• Topic 10: Organisational justice and employee wellbeing
A starting question for your reflection should be: What is the applicability and relevance of OB theory/model/concepts covered in the specific OB topic for me as a practitioner in my workplace? Discrepancies between the theory and practice should be explored, and implications for your workplace identified.
For students who may not have work experience, you may use newspapers or academic journal articles that discuss an OB trend/issue in an existing Australian or international organisation. Alternatively, you can do your own research on an organisation of your choice, and focus your reflection on the imagined influence this organisational context (in relation to the specific OB topic) would have on you.
The structure of the reflection blogs should follow the following four steps in order to enhance the analytical aspect of the reflection process and to ensure the benefits of this assignment for you and your development in the organisation:
1. Reflect on a workplace experience that is meaningful and important to you and your growth in the organisation (reflection should draw on your personal observations, experiences, assumptions and emotions).
2. Analyse the chosen situation by applying relevant OB concepts/theories/models from the relevant Topic.
3. Develop a strategy for managing own or other employee(s) behaviour with the purpose of addressing the workplace situation.
4. Explain what you have learned about the relevant OB topic/yourself/others in the workplace as a result of this reflection exercise.
Each reflection needs to be based on three recent scholarly articles. As this is a reflection where you are using your own experiences and views, your blogs should be written in first person.
A quality reflection shows deep critical analysis of workplace experiences through the application of OB theories/models/ concepts. It provides deep insights into the practitioner’s own practice. This is an opportunity to express your voice on workplace trends that are important to you.

IV. PROJECT SUMMARY (SCENARIO)
Motivation is a critical part of a healthy and productive life. Overcoming challenges to motivation
plays an important role in overcoming difficult times and achieving one’s goals. By understanding
how to apply a theory of motivation to another person, you will have a better idea of how to apply
this theory to yourself.
V. DELIVERABLES AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
DELIVERABLE 1 (10%): CASE STUDY “MOTIVATIONAL ANALYSIS”
For this deliverable, you will need to prepare an analysis of motivation on the famous person in which you
apply a knowledge of motivation. Your submission must have one reference for each member in the group.
Your case study must follow provided rubrics and count 1000 -1500 words. You must include in-text citations
and a references in APA style. Your submission needs to have depth and to show that you have thought
through it well and researched it well. Where students only provide content that is common sense, quite
obvious, vague, simple, and lacking in depth (ie: Our famous person should motivate himself by being positive
and giving himself rewards), students will lose points. Students are welcome to encourage positive thinking in
their papers, but should also write in a way that is specific, practical, yet meaningful. To avoid providing
information that is lacking in depth, students are encouraged to ask themselves questions ...

MODULE 1 CASE ASSIGNMENT
Managing Individual Behavior
Assignment Overview
The cases in this class follow an experiential approach. This means you will reflect on your own experience in an organization and then apply the concepts from the module materials to
think critically
about these experiences and understand them better. The structure of the course and the assignments follow Kolb’s model of the adult learning process, which is discussed on the
Module 1 Home page
. [If you skipped the Module 1--Home page, you should read it now before you attempt to go any further.]
Case Assignment
Think about an experience you have had where you felt extremely motivated. Then, in a 4- to 6-page paper, analyze this experience according to the Kolb format below. Each subtitle represents a different section of the paper. You can use the subtitles as headings.
Introduction:
Discuss the topic of the paper and how you will approach it. It is best to write this section after you have written the rest of the paper.
Concrete Experience:
Begin with a specific situation/event. Describe the experience where you felt extremely motivated. Be objective and focus on just the facts: who, what, where, when, and how – similar to how a newspaper article is written -- as if you were composing a newspaper article.
Reflective Observation:
Reflect upon that experience from the multiple perspectives of other people involved or affected in the experience. Step back from the situation, look at the experience from your own viewpoint,
and
the viewpoints of all other parties involved or affected. You want to look at the circumstances surrounding the experience from every relevant perspective. Why was the experience motivating to you? What did others do that increased your motivation? Was the situation (or would the situation) also be motivating to others? (Note: Your discussion of theories and models from your module materials belongs in the following section.)
Abstract Conceptualization:
Use critical thinking skills in order to understand and interpret the experience at a deeper, more generalizable level. Interpret and understand the events you have described by drawing on the concepts, theories, and models in the background material from this module. What behavior patterns can you identify in yourself and others that are similar to the ones described in the material on motivation, values, and/or goals? How do these concepts and principles explain
why
you were motivated? What general principles of motivation can you derive from this analysis? Be sure to cite all references to concepts, ideas, and quotes you use that come from any outside source. Be sure to apply
at least
three concepts, theories, and/or models and cite all references to concepts, ideas, and/or quotes that you use from any outside source.
[This Abstract Conceptualization section is the “heart” of your paper. Using critical thinking skills, provide a clear, specific discussion on the logic, theo ...

Context
In the dynamic 21st century economy where mobility is often not only possible but also
integral to a successful career, being able to work in an intercultural and diverse
environment is essential. Organisations frequently need their people to develop their
capacity to work effectively in diverse teams and resolve or diffuse conflicts and
miscommunication quickly and efficiently.
The keys to your ability to work effectively in intercultural and diverse teams are the
development of emotional intelligence and awareness of cultural differences. Emotional
intelligence enables the ability to consciously examine group and team dynamics in real
time in order to facilitate effective individual and team performance.
This assessment aims to develop your understanding of how intercultural and diverse teams
function, and how you can use this knowledge to help them develop into high performing
teams.

Assessment item 3 - Critical Reflective Blogs
Value: 45%
Length: 700 words per blog (maximum)
Total: 2800 words
TASK
The purpose of this assignment is to complete critical reflective blogs for four OB topics covered in the subject. The aim of this assignment is to enable you to highlight thoughts on each topic as well as demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered in this subject.
In this assessment, you have to reflect on four OB topics of your choice. You can choose from the following topics:
• Topic 4: Getting the right people
• Topic 5: Work and job performance and conditions
• Topic 6: Assessing, influencing and rewarding performance
• Topic 7: Grouping individuals and behaviour; Organisational change; Organisational
culture
• Topic 8: Organisational processes and behaviour
• Topic 9: Leadership
• Topic 10: Organisational justice and employee wellbeing
A starting question for your reflection should be: What is the applicability and relevance of OB theory/model/concepts covered in the specific OB topic for me as a practitioner in my workplace? Discrepancies between the theory and practice should be explored, and implications for your workplace identified.
For students who may not have work experience, you may use newspapers or academic journal articles that discuss an OB trend/issue in an existing Australian or international organisation. Alternatively, you can do your own research on an organisation of your choice, and focus your reflection on the imagined influence this organisational context (in relation to the specific OB topic) would have on you.
The structure of the reflection blogs should follow the following four steps in order to enhance the analytical aspect of the reflection process and to ensure the benefits of this assignment for you and your development in the organisation:
1. Reflect on a workplace experience that is meaningful and important to you and your growth in the organisation (reflection should draw on your personal observations, experiences, assumptions and emotions).
2. Analyse the chosen situation by applying relevant OB concepts/theories/models from the relevant Topic.
3. Develop a strategy for managing own or other employee(s) behaviour with the purpose of addressing the workplace situation.
4. Explain what you have learned about the relevant OB topic/yourself/others in the workplace as a result of this reflection exercise.
Each reflection needs to be based on three recent scholarly articles. As this is a reflection where you are using your own experiences and views, your blogs should be written in first person.
A quality reflection shows deep critical analysis of workplace experiences through the application of OB theories/models/ concepts. It provides deep insights into the practitioner’s own practice. This is an opportunity to express your voice on workplace trends that are important to you.

Assessment Task 1 Leadership Development ReportThis assessmen.docx
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
This assessment task is a REPORT.
This requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations.
HARVARD REFERENCING is required.
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to write about something listed in the rubric, you’ll lose marks.
So the rubric is like a “contract” between you and your lecturer. Following the rubric clearly is your best strategy for a good result

1. Explore the Central Michigan University competencies model (5 clusters eg. Self-Management, Leading others, Task management, Innovation and Social Responsibility)
2. Identify your current strengths and weaknesses as a leader (or potential leader) within the context of the CMU (eg. Create a clear vision of yourself in approx. 5-10 years time – only then will you be able to identify your strengths and weaknesses)

BUSINESS LEADERSHIP AND HUMAN VALUES
Theme Commentary Assignments
Your performance as a leader – whether you are a president, team member, or parent – is largely
determined by the way you think and communicate about values. The Business Leadership and
Human Values (BLHV) seminar is an opportunity to refine and practice this essential leadership
skill. Each class member shares responsibility for creating rich, productive discourse about
leadership and values. By engaging in team conversations, participating in class activities, and
writing critical reflections on course themes you will develop your multimodal ability to think and
communicate by observing, listening, speaking, reading, and writing more rigorously and
imaginatively about values and ethical challenges.
Theme Commentary Assignments Overview
The Theme Commentary interprets and articulates your point of view about a BLHV theme or a
particular issue, content item, or perspective included or closely related to a theme. This
assignment requires thoughtful preparation to sort through a complex array of ideas, concepts,
data, expertise, and opinion involving multiple stakeholders and contested perspectives. You may
also need to investigate additional sources to develop and communicate your point of view. Since
communication about values includes both individual commentary or opinion and corporate or
collective statements of values and principles, it is equally important to exercise these abilities
individually and collaboratively. The Theme Commentary assignments therefore include two
deliverables:
1. One Individual Theme Commentary submitted in Week 3 of the course.
2. One Team Theme Commentary submitted in Week 8 of the course.
Learning Objectives
The Theme Commentaries are designed for you to work individually and as part of a team to
cultivate and demonstrate your expertise in all the BLHV learning objectives with a focus on
Learning Objective 2:
Think and communicate effectively about values.
The Theme Commentaries demonstrate your ability to absorb, critique, and synthesize a complex
discursive field ideas, facts, expertise, values, and opinions related to an ethically consequential
issue or topic and then construct a thoughtfully coherent, compelling narrative that persuasively
expresses a point of view based on clearly articulated ideas, evidence, a ...

Guidebook for PAD 502 Module Assessments 1
Objective of Module Assessments
During this course, you will complete an organizational learning assessment for a real-world organization.
Based on the breakdown of the course into four modules, this effort will proceed in four stages that
culminate in the production of a final report that should be of sufficient quality to share with the
organization.
In this guidebook, you will find the module assessment descriptions and an outline of the expectations for
each.
Selecting an Organization
One of the most important steps in a successful applied project such as this is the selection of the right
organization. I highly recommend that you select a current or past employer, or an organization with which
you serve as a volunteer. The chosen organization must be a public or nonprofit organization.
Communicating and engaging with the organization is a delicate process and influences project use. Please
be sensitive to the needs of the organization for example, in some cases, confidentiality, anonymity and
other issues may arise. When necessary, you should disguise the source of your project (unless the case is
drawn from public records) through use of appropriate pseudonyms. Confidentiality and the general
conduct of the project are entirely your responsibility, so proceed with caution and ethical care.
Please Note: Once you have selected an organization, please go into the Blackboard assignment tab for
week 3 and share the organization with Dr. Bland. In doing so, briefly state why you chose this organization
and discuss your access to the materials and information needed to complete this assignment.
Module 1 Assessment – Organizational Overview (50 Points)
The aim of the module 1 assessment is to get you started on this project and to get you into a frame of mind
that is analytical and begins to demonstrate an understanding of the value of organizational learning to the
organization being studied. This report should be no more than 6 double-spaced typewritten pages (APA
format) and include the following:
A brief account of the organization being investigated, providing sufficient information for the reader to
understand the nature of the organization and its context. This section should include relevant background
information as well as a clear statement of the focus of your case study. For example, it is appropriate to
provide information on the age, size, and history of the organization, the product or services it provides,
and the general nature of its environment.
Following this account, this assessment should demonstrate the value of organizational learning specifically
for your chosen organization and more broadly for good government. This is a critical dimension of your
paper and cannot be overemphasized. Recall that our objective in this course is always to demonstrate the
relevance of sound theory to real-world organizations. I ...

BUSM 4194 Leading for ChangeSemester 1, 2014Assessment Tas.docx
BUSM 4194 Leading for Change
Semester 1, 2014
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
Writing instructions and Marking Rubric
This assessment task is a REPORT.
The RMIT College of Business requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
The structuring of a report is very clearly described in the RMIT Study and Learning Centre Report Writing Skills Online Tutorial available on the BUSM4194 course Blackboard site
Your first step in preparing for this assessment task should be to complete this tutorial.
Investing time before you start writing will result in a better report.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations. You are required to use the RMIT Business Referencing System. This is available to you via the Library website, in your course site on myRMIT and is uploaded to the assessments folder in the BUSM 4194 course site. This is a 50 page document but reading it through will be enormously helpful for you in this and future assessment tasks.
Make sure that you can clearly distinguish the difference between an essay (page 28 of the document) and a report (page 36).
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to w ...

1 Individual Organisational Problem Analysis (40) .docx

Individual Organisational Problem Analysis (40%)
1. Guidelines
Context
Locally, nationally and internationally, there are many organisations whose success or failure
has been determined at least in part by key organisational behaviour and people factors. Success
may not necessarily mean financial performance – it may mean that the organisation has
effectively managed a “turnaround” of some sort (for example, a major change to ‘go green’
following an environmental incident or to improve diversity following being labelled a biased
or discriminatory employer. Failure may not mean financial disaster – it may mean a loss of
trust with stakeholders, the presence of unethical behaviour or a damaging culture, or the loss
of key talent (employees) to competitors. There have been many examples in the media over
the last five years. For example, culture, leadership, and motivation and reward systems were
antecedents to Enron’s failure, which had severe consequences for its stakeholders.
Tasks
1. Choose a real case of an organisation that successfully (or otherwise less than
successfully) dealt with a particular problem or failure (must have occurred in the last 10
years) that has damaged the organisation in some way
2. Describe briefly what happened, the context, and the consequences for the organisation's
stakeholders
3. Pick one relevant analytical framework (e.g., SWOT, PESTEL or stakeholder analysis)
and provide a brief analysis of what happened
4. Building on the previous analysis, identify, analyse and discuss in more detail 2 to 3
organisational behaviour (OB) factors that contributed to the problem/failure. These may
be individual, group or organisational level factors
5. After having conducted the problem analysis, (a) describe what the organisation did to
achieve success or post-failure to address the problem and/or prevent a reoccurrence of the
problem, and (b) evaluate the effectiveness of the organisation’s response to the failure
2
6. After having evaluated the organisation’s response to the failure encountered, make
recommendations for what could have been done better and/or moving forward in
response to the OB issues identified in the beginning. In making these recommendations,
it is important to be pragmatic and specific (i.e. make recommendations that are viable and
within the organisation’s capacity to implement).
7. Referencing:
a) Include a minimum of 10 journal articles
b) Referencing has to adhere the Academy of Management referencing style
(note: the guideline is available on BlackBoard in the Assessment Section)
8. Writing a Report:
a) The report has to be 2500 words (+/- 10%). Assignments below/exceeding the
word limit in excess of 10% will be penalised.
b) Appendices and references are not included in the word count. However, you
cannot assume that appendicised materials will be read in detail
c) Please include a word count on th ...

Assignment 1: Identifying the Organizational Learning Issues
Due Week 3 and worth 250 points
SCENARIO: Suppose that your organization, or an organization with which you are familiar, is dealing with a major issue in transitioning individual learning (e.g., sharing knowledge, training programs, working as a team, experiences, procedures, processes, etc.) into organizational learning. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has
Report #1 Checks and Balances After reading Chapter 2 of your t.docx
Report #1: Checks and Balances
After reading Chapter 2 of your text, “The Constitution,” and watching the C-Span video “Checks and Balances: Intentions of the Founders” (link to the video below, it is about an hour and a half long), write a brief report. The report should contain three separate sections that address all the points in each question. Notice the expected word count for each section (exceeding the word count will not negatively affect your grade, but please try to stay within the range).
1. Based on your reading of Chapter 2 of the text, describe the major checks and balances in the Constitution that are intended to limit the power of each of the three branches of government. Be specific in indicating how each branch checks the others. (approximately 200-250 words)
2. According to the discussion in the video, what makes some people worry that these checks and balances are not as effective as they once were in limiting power (particularly the power of the president)? What possible reforms or changes might be needed to restore the balance of power among the branches? (approximately 200-250 words)
3. List and describe two points made during the discussion on the video concerning checks and balances that you found particularly interesting, novel, or insightful. (approximately 100-150 words)
Be careful not to plagiarize. If you want to quote directly from your book or from the video, do so by using quotation marks and by indicating the page number (if available). But try to do this sparingly and simply use your own words in addressing the questions.
In your writing, use an analytical tone that is free of your personal opinions. In other words, try to answer the questions in a straightforward and objective manner.

Article Critique Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Articles are written to inform, misinform, influence, or misdirect, among other reasons. Sometimes they serve as nothing more than a vehicle for an author to
achieve fame, notoriety, and wealth. You should never take at face value the elements of any article you read, but you should be able to:
• Differentiate between fact and opinion
• Recognize and evaluate author bias and rhetoric
• Determine cause-and-effect relationships
• Determine accuracy and completeness of information presented
• Recognize logical fallacies and faulty reasoning
• Compare and contrast information and points of view
• Develop inferential skills
• Make judgments and draw logical conclusions
When writing an article critique, you will need to summarize, evaluate, and offer critical comment on the ideas and information that the author(s) presents in
the article.
Starting in Module Two, you are assigned two articles to read, which are located in Module Resources for that specific module. You have to select one of the two
articles and write a critique of it. In your paper, cite any and all information taken f ...

essay I wrote need to be fixed:HEADING?-should write Essay One: Sedaris and Anzaldua
INDENTThe process of learning is an inevitable one for every human being as he/she goes about doing his./her daily tasks. Many are the occasions when we find ourselves compelled to learn new things whether formally or informally so as to fit in to a given situation. Learning of languages is one example of a very common learning process undertaken by many people. Whatever one is learning, he/she may end up enjoying it and doing it as fun rather than a punishment if the teacher is friendly. However, the experience will be a complete opposite if the teacher is disgusting. Disgusting hung? You give a lot of power to other people, and very little to learners. I wonder students who get through 12-14 years of school are able to complete their studies if they delineate power this way. Learning languages, especially foreign ones, can be quite a costly affair and affect humans negatively by lowering confidence in their abilities to do everyday activities. Your thesis is arguing that humans should not learn foreign languages because it is costly and lowers confidence? Wouldn’t that also be the cost of learning anything… or going to college? Maybe something to think of moving forward.
INDENTLearning languages can be an avenue for one to be humiliated and scolded by those who are supposed to teach him/her. When we embark on learning a second, third, or even forth language, we often hope that this would earn us additional experience, skills, and the aptitude COMMA which increases our chances of getting a job. Some educators may be hell-bent to discourage you or they may be simply seeing you as a nuisance because of your lack of knowledge in that language. CIRCUMSTANIAL…. MAYLEAVES THIS ARGUMENT WISHY WASHY. IT ALSO IMPLIES YOU KNOW INTENT, WHICH YOU NEED TO PROVE. This is demonstrated by David Sedaris in his story "Me Talk Pretty One Day" when he says what his French teacher told him. The teacher said to him "I hate you...I really hate you" (Sedaris par. 20). GOOD MLA APPLICATION. The teacher hated Sedaris because, according to her, he was lazy. This is very insensitive of the teacher and can make the student lose self-esteem.BUT THIS SELF ESTEEM ISSUE WAS ONE STRENTHENED BY HIS EXPERIENCE IN THE END. Low self esteem may have a negative impact not only on his class performance, but also affect his everyday interactions with others. Whenever he goes out in the course of his daily activities, Sedaris may findit HERE IS THAT MAY AGAIN….hard to start conversations because he feels he is not up to the task of communicating in French.
INDENTOften, some people may be compelledto learn a second language for the single reason that they are doubtful of the legitimacy of their first language. Such fellows feel that their language is MORE backward and unsophisticated than the language they want to learn or are in the process of learning. In the story "How To Tame a Wild Toungue" by.

Value: 45%
Length: 700 words per blog (maximum)
Total: 2800 words
TASK
The purpose of this assignment is to complete critical reflective blogs for four OB topics covered in the subject. The aim of this assignment is to enable you to highlight thoughts on each topic as well as demonstrate your understanding of the topics covered in this subject.
In this assessment, you have to reflect on four OB topics of your choice. You can choose from the following topics:
• Topic 4: Getting the right people
• Topic 5: Work and job performance and conditions
• Topic 6: Assessing, influencing and rewarding performance
• Topic 7: Grouping individuals and behaviour; Organisational change; Organisational
culture
• Topic 8: Organisational processes and behaviour
• Topic 9: Leadership
• Topic 10: Organisational justice and employee wellbeing
A starting question for your reflection should be: What is the applicability and relevance of OB theory/model/concepts covered in the specific OB topic for me as a practitioner in my workplace? Discrepancies between the theory and practice should be explored, and implications for your workplace identified.
For students who may not have work experience, you may use newspapers or academic journal articles that discuss an OB trend/issue in an existing Australian or international organisation. Alternatively, you can do your own research on an organisation of your choice, and focus your reflection on the imagined influence this organisational context (in relation to the specific OB topic) would have on you.
The structure of the reflection blogs should follow the following four steps in order to enhance the analytical aspect of the reflection process and to ensure the benefits of this assignment for you and your development in the organisation:
1. Reflect on a workplace experience that is meaningful and important to you and your growth in the organisation (reflection should draw on your personal observations, experiences, assumptions and emotions).
2. Analyse the chosen situation by applying relevant OB concepts/theories/models from the relevant Topic.
3. Develop a strategy for managing own or other employee(s) behaviour with the purpose of addressing the workplace situation.
4. Explain what you have learned about the relevant OB topic/yourself/others in the workplace as a result of this reflection exercise.
Each reflection needs to be based on three recent scholarly articles. As this is a reflection where you are using your own experiences and views, your blogs should be written in first person.
A quality reflection shows deep critical analysis of workplace experiences through the application of OB theories/models/ concepts. It provides deep insights into the practitioner’s own practice. This is an opportunity to express your voice on workplace trends that are important to you.

Alternatively, you can do your own research on an organisation of your choice, and focus your reflection on the imagined influence this organisational context (in relation to the specific OB topic) would have on you.
The structure of the reflection blogs should follow the following four steps in order to enhance the analytical aspect of the reflection process and to ensure the benefits of this assignment for you and your development in the organisation:
1. Reflect on a workplace experience that is meaningful and important to you and your growth in the organisation (reflection should draw on your personal observations, experiences, assumptions and emotions).
2. Analyse the chosen situation by applying relevant OB concepts/theories/models from the relevant Topic.
3. Develop a strategy for managing own or other employee(s) behaviour with the purpose of addressing the workplace situation.
4. Explain what you have learned about the relevant OB topic/yourself/others in the workplace as a result of this reflection exercise.
Each reflection needs to be based on three recent scholarly articles. As this is a reflection where you are using your own experiences and views, your blogs should be written in first person.
A quality reflection shows deep critical analysis of workplace experiences through the application of OB theories/models/ concepts. It provides deep insights into the practitioner’s own practice. This is an opportunity to express your voice on workplace trends that are important to you.

Assessment Task 1 Leadership Development ReportThis assessmen.docx
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
This assessment task is a REPORT.
This requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations.
HARVARD REFERENCING is required.
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to write about something listed in the rubric, you’ll lose marks.
So the rubric is like a “contract” between you and your lecturer. Following the rubric clearly is your best strategy for a good result

1. Explore the Central Michigan University competencies model (5 clusters eg. Self-Management, Leading others, Task management, Innovation and Social Responsibility)

BUSINESS LEADERSHIP AND HUMAN VALUES
Theme Commentary Assignments
Your performance as a leader – whether you are a president, team member, or parent – is largely
determined by the way you think and communicate about values. The Business Leadership and
Human Values (BLHV) seminar is an opportunity to refine and practice this essential leadership
skill. Each class member shares responsibility for creating rich, productive discourse about
leadership and values. By engaging in team conversations, participating in class activities, and
writing critical reflections on course themes you will develop your multimodal ability to think and
communicate by observing, listening, speaking, reading, and writing more rigorously and
imaginatively about values and ethical challenges.
Theme Commentary Assignments Overview
The Theme Commentary interprets and articulates your point of view about a BLHV theme or a
particular issue, content item, or perspective included or closely related to a theme. This
assignment requires thoughtful preparation to sort through a complex array of ideas, concepts,
data, expertise, and opinion involving multiple stakeholders and contested perspectives. You may
also need to investigate additional sources to develop and communicate your point of view. Since
communication about values includes both individual commentary or opinion and corporate or
collective statements of values and principles, it is equally important to exercise these abilities
individually and collaboratively. The Theme Commentary assignments therefore include two
deliverables:
1. One Individual Theme Commentary submitted in Week 3 of the course.
2. One Team Theme Commentary submitted in Week 8 of the course.
Learning Objectives
The Theme Commentaries are designed for you to work individually and as part of a team to
cultivate and demonstrate your expertise in all the BLHV learning objectives with a focus on
Learning Objective 2:
Think and communicate effectively about values.
The Theme Commentaries demonstrate your ability to absorb, critique, and synthesize a complex
discursive field ideas, facts, expertise, values, and opinions related to an ethically consequential
issue or topic and then construct a thoughtfully coherent, compelling narrative that persuasively
expresses a point of view based on clearly articulated ideas, evidence, a ...

Guidebook for PAD 502 Module Assessments 1
Objective of Module Assessments
During this course, you will complete an organizational learning assessment for a real-world organization.
Based on the breakdown of the course into four modules, this effort will proceed in four stages that
culminate in the production of a final report that should be of sufficient quality to share with the
organization.
In this guidebook, you will find the module assessment descriptions and an outline of the expectations for
each.
Selecting an Organization
One of the most important steps in a successful applied project such as this is the selection of the right
organization. I highly recommend that you select a current or past employer, or an organization with which
you serve as a volunteer. The chosen organization must be a public or nonprofit organization.
Communicating and engaging with the organization is a delicate process and influences project use. Please
be sensitive to the needs of the organization for example, in some cases, confidentiality, anonymity and
other issues may arise. When necessary, you should disguise the source of your project (unless the case is
drawn from public records) through use of appropriate pseudonyms. Confidentiality and the general
conduct of the project are entirely your responsibility, so proceed with caution and ethical care.
Please Note: Once you have selected an organization, please go into the Blackboard assignment tab for
week 3 and share the organization with Dr. Bland. In doing so, briefly state why you chose this organization
and discuss your access to the materials and information needed to complete this assignment.
Module 1 Assessment – Organizational Overview (50 Points)
The aim of the module 1 assessment is to get you started on this project and to get you into a frame of mind
that is analytical and begins to demonstrate an understanding of the value of organizational learning to the
organization being studied. This report should be no more than 6 double-spaced typewritten pages (APA
format) and include the following:
A brief account of the organization being investigated, providing sufficient information for the reader to
understand the nature of the organization and its context. This section should include relevant background
information as well as a clear statement of the focus of your case study. For example, it is appropriate to
provide information on the age, size, and history of the organization, the product or services it provides,
and the general nature of its environment.
Following this account, this assessment should demonstrate the value of organizational learning specifically
for your chosen organization and more broadly for good government. This is a critical dimension of your
paper and cannot be overemphasized. Recall that our objective in this course is always to demonstrate the
relevance of sound theory to real-world organizations. I ...

BUSM 4194 Leading for Change
Semester 1, 2014
Assessment Task 1: Leadership Development Report
Writing instructions and Marking Rubric
This assessment task is a REPORT.
The RMIT College of Business requires you to use a particular style of writing which involves both the way the report is structured and the way that you acknowledge other people’s ideas used in your work.
The structuring of a report is very clearly described in the RMIT Study and Learning Centre Report Writing Skills Online Tutorial available on the BUSM4194 course Blackboard site
Your first step in preparing for this assessment task should be to complete this tutorial.
Investing time before you start writing will result in a better report.
Your second step should be mastering the art of referencing. There are many styles of referencing in use in different disciplines and geographical locations. You are required to use the RMIT Business Referencing System. This is available to you via the Library website, in your course site on myRMIT and is uploaded to the assessments folder in the BUSM 4194 course site. This is a 50 page document but reading it through will be enormously helpful for you in this and future assessment tasks.
Make sure that you can clearly distinguish the difference between an essay (page 28 of the document) and a report (page 36).
Remember: this current assessment task is a REPORT not an ESSAY.
The critical thinking element
We want you to be very comfortable with questioning everything you read and hear.
Anyone can remember facts and state other people’s views but a far more useful skill is to critically review what you read and hear and decide for yourself how reliable, accurate, applicable, contemporary, objective and fair it is.
In this report, your assessor will value the fact that you are able to see both benefits and deficiencies in a particular theory. Make sure you look through the critical thinking exercises in the course site to get a clear understanding of critical thinking!
How many references should I cite?
There is no right answer to this question because it all depends on what you write in your report. Some statements you make in your report will certainly need a reference to support them.
So, to determine how many references you need to cite, first (as described in the report writing tutorial) draw a mind map of ideas to go into your report and for each idea try to link it to a reference source.
How will the report be marked?
Your lecturers have already created a marking rubric that will be used to award you a mark out of 50 as the report comprises 50 of the overall 100 marks available in this course.
The rubric is reproduced over the page and will be used as a way of providing feedback to you on how you performed.
The most important thing about the rubric is that it DEFINES what you will be marked on. If you include additional material that is not mentioned in the rubric it will not attract any marks, if you forget to w ...

1 Individual Organisational Problem Analysis (40) .docx

Individual Organisational Problem Analysis (40%)
1. Guidelines
Context
Locally, nationally and internationally, there are many organisations whose success or failure
has been determined at least in part by key organisational behaviour and people factors. Success
may not necessarily mean financial performance – it may mean that the organisation has
effectively managed a “turnaround” of some sort (for example, a major change to ‘go green’
following an environmental incident or to improve diversity following being labelled a biased
or discriminatory employer. Failure may not mean financial disaster – it may mean a loss of
trust with stakeholders, the presence of unethical behaviour or a damaging culture, or the loss
of key talent (employees) to competitors. There have been many examples in the media over
the last five years. For example, culture, leadership, and motivation and reward systems were
antecedents to Enron’s failure, which had severe consequences for its stakeholders.
Tasks
1. Choose a real case of an organisation that successfully (or otherwise less than
successfully) dealt with a particular problem or failure (must have occurred in the last 10
years) that has damaged the organisation in some way
2. Describe briefly what happened, the context, and the consequences for the organisation's
stakeholders
3. Pick one relevant analytical framework (e.g., SWOT, PESTEL or stakeholder analysis)
and provide a brief analysis of what happened
4. Building on the previous analysis, identify, analyse and discuss in more detail 2 to 3
organisational behaviour (OB) factors that contributed to the problem/failure. These may
be individual, group or organisational level factors
5. After having conducted the problem analysis, (a) describe what the organisation did to
achieve success or post-failure to address the problem and/or prevent a reoccurrence of the
problem, and (b) evaluate the effectiveness of the organisation’s response to the failure
2
6. After having evaluated the organisation’s response to the failure encountered, make
recommendations for what could have been done better and/or moving forward in
response to the OB issues identified in the beginning. In making these recommendations,
it is important to be pragmatic and specific (i.e. make recommendations that are viable and
within the organisation’s capacity to implement).
7. Referencing:
a) Include a minimum of 10 journal articles
b) Referencing has to adhere the Academy of Management referencing style
(note: the guideline is available on BlackBoard in the Assessment Section)
8. Writing a Report:
a) The report has to be 2500 words (+/- 10%). Assignments below/exceeding the
word limit in excess of 10% will be penalised.
b) Appendices and references are not included in the word count. However, you
cannot assume that appendicised materials will be read in detail
c) Please include a word count on th ...

After reading Chapter 2 of your text, “The Constitution,” and watching the C-Span video “Checks and Balances: Intentions of the Founders” (link to the video below, it is about an hour and a half long), write a brief report. The report should contain three separate sections that address all the points in each question. Notice the expected word count for each section (exceeding the word count will not negatively affect your grade, but please try to stay within the range).
1. Based on your reading of Chapter 2 of the text, describe the major checks and balances in the Constitution that are intended to limit the power of each of the three branches of government. Be specific in indicating how each branch checks the others. (approximately 200-250 words)
2. According to the discussion in the video, what makes some people worry that these checks and balances are not as effective as they once were in limiting power (particularly the power of the president)? What possible reforms or changes might be needed to restore the balance of power among the branches? (approximately 200-250 words)
3. List and describe two points made during the discussion on the video concerning checks and balances that you found particularly interesting, novel, or insightful. (approximately 100-150 words)
Be careful not to plagiarize. If you want to quote directly from your book or from the video, do so by using quotation marks and by indicating the page number (if available). But try to do this sparingly and simply use your own words in addressing the questions.
In your writing, use an analytical tone that is free of your personal opinions. In other words, try to answer the questions in a straightforward and objective manner.

Article Critique Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Articles are written to inform, misinform, influence, or misdirect, among other reasons. Sometimes they serve as nothing more than a vehicle for an author to
achieve fame, notoriety, and wealth. You should never take at face value the elements of any article you read, but you should be able to:
• Differentiate between fact and opinion
• Recognize and evaluate author bias and rhetoric
• Determine cause-and-effect relationships
• Determine accuracy and completeness of information presented
• Recognize logical fallacies and faulty reasoning
• Compare and contrast information and points of view
• Develop inferential skills
• Make judgments and draw logical conclusions
When writing an article critique, you will need to summarize, evaluate, and offer critical comment on the ideas and information that the author(s) presents in
the article.
Starting in Module Two, you are assigned two articles to read, which are located in Module Resources for that specific module. You have to select one of the two
articles and write a critique of it. In your paper, cite any and all information taken f ...

essay I wrote need to be fixed:HEADING?-should write Essay One: Sedaris and Anzaldua
INDENTThe process of learning is an inevitable one for every human being as he/she goes about doing his./her daily tasks. Many are the occasions when we find ourselves compelled to learn new things whether formally or informally so as to fit in to a given situation. Learning of languages is one example of a very common learning process undertaken by many people. Whatever one is learning, he/she may end up enjoying it and doing it as fun rather than a punishment if the teacher is friendly. However, the experience will be a complete opposite if the teacher is disgusting. Disgusting hung? You give a lot of power to other people, and very little to learners. I wonder students who get through 12-14 years of school are able to complete their studies if they delineate power this way. Learning languages, especially foreign ones, can be quite a costly affair and affect humans negatively by lowering confidence in their abilities to do everyday activities. Your thesis is arguing that humans should not learn foreign languages because it is costly and lowers confidence? Wouldn’t that also be the cost of learning anything… or going to college? Maybe something to think of moving forward.
INDENTLearning languages can be an avenue for one to be humiliated and scolded by those who are supposed to teach him/her. When we embark on learning a second, third, or even forth language, we often hope that this would earn us additional experience, skills, and the aptitude COMMA which increases our chances of getting a job. Some educators may be hell-bent to discourage you or they may be simply seeing you as a nuisance because of your lack of knowledge in that language. CIRCUMSTANIAL…. MAYLEAVES THIS ARGUMENT WISHY WASHY. IT ALSO IMPLIES YOU KNOW INTENT, WHICH YOU NEED TO PROVE. This is demonstrated by David Sedaris in his story "Me Talk Pretty One Day" when he says what his French teacher told him. The teacher said to him "I hate you...I really hate you" (Sedaris par. 20). GOOD MLA APPLICATION. The teacher hated Sedaris because, according to her, he was lazy. This is very insensitive of the teacher and can make the student lose self-esteem.BUT THIS SELF ESTEEM ISSUE WAS ONE STRENTHENED BY HIS EXPERIENCE IN THE END. Low self esteem may have a negative impact not only on his class performance, but also affect his everyday interactions with others. Whenever he goes out in the course of his daily activities, Sedaris may findit HERE IS THAT MAY AGAIN….hard to start conversations because he feels he is not up to the task of communicating in French.
INDENTOften, some people may be compelledto learn a second language for the single reason that they are doubtful of the legitimacy of their first language. Such fellows feel that their language is MORE backward and unsophisticated than the language they want to learn or are in the process of learning. In the story "How To Tame a Wild Toungue" by.

Essay Format-Persuasive Essay
Introduction Paragraph with Thesis Statement (Remember, the thesis statement will be the last line in this paragraph.)
What could make this invention any better? It is free for most shoppers, it is convenient for carrying materials, it is lightweight, and it has multiple purposes. These are some benefits of plastic shopping bags. According to Kinnelon Conserves.net, plastic bags are made from crude oil, which is heated and releases ethylene gas, leaving polyethylene as a byproduct (2018). This gel-like material is what makes plastic bags. Ever since its beginnings in the 1960s, plastic shopping bags can be seen in many places: in shopping carts, in trunks of cars, and in kitchens. Katherine Mangu-Ward states, “In 2010, Guinness World Records named plasticbagsthe most ubiquitous consumer item in the world” (2015). But, the problem is that we also see plastic bags floating in oceans and trapped inside aquatic organisms. So, the question becomes, do we ban plastic bags in all fifty states, or do we continue using them in shopping centers?
________________________________________________________________________
(Thesis)_Considering many factors, plastic bags should be banned from stores in all fifty states due to the negative effect they have on the environment when they are produced and after they are produced, along with the fact that many countries and cities have already successfully banned them and reaped the positive environmental benefits of doing so. __
Body Paragraph # 1
Topic Sentence : One reason lawmakers should ban plastic bags in all fifty states, is due to the negative environmental ramifications, when they are produced.
Major Supporting Detail # 1: __Plastic bags are made from an already depleting fossil fuel: oil, which takes thousands of years to form. Oil already has many uses, including being used for gasoline and diesel in vehicles and homes, jet fuel, and for roads and roofs, among many other uses. Eliminating plastic bags will make better use of this limited oil resource.
Evidence/Quote/Paraphrase—“Quotation Sandwich”
_ The Kinnelon Conserves website states that “five trillion plastic bags are produced each year, which accounts for .2% of the earth’s oil consumption each year…it takes 12 million barrels of oil just to make enough plastic bags for America!” That is a lot of wasted oil on a product we usually only use one time for about 15 minutes. Oil is already being used up at an alarming rate for energy, construction, and other types of plastics like for toys and many household items, so we should not waste it on one-use plastic bags, and further negatively affect our environment.
Major Detail # 2: _When we extract oil from our land to make plastic bags, we also release methane into the atmosphere, which traps heat, and increases global warming. So, oil extraction, also induces air pollution. __________________

Essay contentWhere did your storypoetry come from What specif.docx
Essay content:
Where did your story/poetry come from? What specific things did you use from your Alien Anthropology, Creator’s Subject, or other course writing to generate the idea or subject of your story/poetry? How did you move from those original snippets of writing to a story/poetry idea to the story/poetry itself?
What discourse community does your work speak to, or for? What subject, issue, or conversation might your work contribute to within that discourse community? What might your work add to that conversation? Be as specific as possible, here; I’m looking for detail and insight into how your work fits into a larger, already ongoing conversation within an established discourse community.
Describe the most significant revisions you made in your work, and the thinking behind those revisions (why you made the craft choices that you did, what you were experimenting with, or what you hoped to accomplish through your revisions). One thing you could do for this subtopic is look back at the workshop responses you received, and describe how/why you did/did not use those responses.
Describe the craft elements in your work that give it the most impact, and what you were trying to accomplish by using those craft elements the way you did. (Suggestion: This is where you show off your knowledge of writing craft, so use vocabulary terms you’ve learned, and be detailed with them. I encourage you to look at the discussion posts on craft elements to examine and reflect on how your knowledge and skills with writing craft have evolved, and how your knowledge/skills of craft elements are illustrated in your creative work. You might also cite any reading assignments that helped you learn about specific craft elements in your own work.)
In general, how did the writing process work for you? What challenges did you face as you wrote and revised? What risks did you take? What did you learn from any “mistakes” you made? What worked well for you? (Suggestion: This is where you might use vocabulary terms and concepts about creativity that we covered in this course, going all the way back to the beginning of the course.)
Explain the specific revisions you would/will make to your final draft in order to complete it, and why you think these revisions would make your story/poetry complete and effective.
Can you imagine situations where skills in creative thinking/innovation might be useful or necessary in your academic discipline or career field? What concepts or skills from ENG 226 might you apply in those situations to help you solve a problem, answer a complicated question, or innovate a new idea or solution? (Suggestion: look through the readings, etc., from our first unit to find specific ideas, skills, activities, etc., that can help you address this question.)

Essay Assignment
:
Students are tasked with completing an essay assignment from a list of 3 potential topics.
- Topic #1:
Culture
– Over the past couple of months, people all over the world have had to undertake ‘social distancing’ which has seen contact even between close family members seriously curtailed, if not prohibited, outside of their homes. This has meant that many of the cultural rituals that have historically punctuated and gave meaning to our lives have had to be delayed, modified or cancelled altogether. This has included birthdays, graduations, weddings and funerals in addition to various religious celebrations that happen daily, weekly, annually or otherwise. How have you had to modify, delay or cancel cultural activities over this time and what, if anything, have you learned about the meaning/significance of these events as a result? How might have ‘social distancing’ practices affected other groups or cultures differently from what you have experienced? To what extent do you feel virtual participation can replace physical presence at cultural events?
Topic #2:
political Economy
– The Covid-19 pandemic has forced governments around the world, including Canada’s, to make interventions into their economies in ways which may have never seemed possible just a few months ago. This has included paying most of the wages of workers in private enterprises, curtailing the legal rights of landlords to evict or punish their renters, and closing large parts of their economies altogether. This has happened in countries who perceive themselves to be in favour of a limited role of government, such as the United States, and others which are officially socialist, such as China. What have these actions taught you about the differences in the political and economic ideologies of countries? Have your opinions on what the role of the ‘state’ should be in the economies of countries?
Topic #3:
Trade
– The Covid-19 pandemic has illustrated how interconnected the world is with respect to the trade in goods and the flow of people. While countries, such as Canada, have closed their borders to all but essential travel by people, they have remained open to trade. While people have been required to ‘stay home’ and even ‘shelter in place’, Amazon has had to hire 100,000 workers to keep the flow of goods moving internationally. How has international trade assisted in the international response to the pandemic? Has this strengthened the arguments in favour of international trade? What, if any, weaknesses in the global trading system has the pandemic identified?

How have new technologies had an impact on education? What impact might they have the future? While change can always have both positive and negative effects, has the impact of specific technologies on education been
mostly
positive or
mostly
negative, and for whom? To have a more specific and focused paper, choose a specific type of technology
and
a specific level of education (primary, high school, college).
Sample Topics/Ideas for the Technology and Education Option:
Should more assistive/adaptive technology for people with disabilities be incorporated into schools? What schools would most benefit from greater assistive technologies? Why are these technologies important?
Should teachers incorporate social media/cell phones/computers into the classrooms? Are these new methods of communication a neglected and vital resource that most teachers are simply too old-fashioned to take advantage of? Or are they mostly a dangerous distraction?
How important is it for students to have technology in the classroom? Is it
essential
to a modern student’s education, or are there more important things on which we should spend our education budget?

Essay Assignment – A Textual Analysis of the Royal Proclamation of 1.docx
Essay Assignment – A Textual Analysis of the Royal Proclamation of 1763
Introduction
:
With the conclusion of the Seven Years War, Great Britain became the dominant power in North America. However, having taken over French colonial possessions, the British were not welcomed by many of the First Nations who had been allied with the French (review Pontiac’s War). In order to establish peaceful relationships with the First Nations (and the French settlers), the British negotiated with the First Nations that resulted in the Royal Proclamation of 1763 – which ended the hostilities, for the most part, between the British and the First Nations. This document, the Proclamation, is an enormously important document in Canadian history and its significance reverberates into modern days as First Nations continue to rely on the document when making legal claims about land ownership.
For this assignment, the Learning Objectives are:
• The Reading of excerpts of a primary document/historical document (the Proclamation)• The Contextualizing of said document, taking a British and First Nations’ perspective of the time and formulating your own stance/viewpoint• The Researching and incorporating of one secondary source related to this topic
Prompt Questions:
Write an essay that incorporates and answers the following questions:
Who benefited most from the issuance of the Royal Proclamation? European settlers or First Nations?
Why did the Proclamation of 1763 contribute to a “souring of the relationship” between Great Britain and her subjects (British settlers) in the thirteen colonies?
The document appears to show great concern for the welfare of First Nations. To what extent was this document designed with the intention of supporting and protecting the interests of the indigenous peoples?
Context
:
At the end of the Seven Years’ War in 1763, France surrendered Canada and much of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys—two-thirds of eastern North America—to England. The British Proclamation of 1763 "preserved to the said Indians" the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains and ordered white settlers "there forthwith to remove themselves from such Settlements," forbade white settlement, and restricted commerce with the American Indians to traders licensed by the British government, requiring settlers to "take out a License for carrying on such Trade from the Governor or Commander in Chief of any of Our Colonies respectively." Power over westward expansion was in the hands of British officials, outside the colonists’ control. By preventing the colonial population from moving inland the British ministry hoped to avoid costly wars, protect the western fur trade, and keep western land speculation under the control of the crown. To enforce the proclamation, Britain authorized positioning 10,000 troops along the frontier, with the costs of 250,000 pounds sterling per year to be paid by the colonists. The British settlers, who looked at the new land as an opportunit.
Essay Arugment on Julius Caesar play. essay question is 2In.docx
Essay Arugment on Julius Caesar play. essay question is:
2
In
Julius Caesar
, there are no moral absolutes: no character is entirely good or entirely bad.
Throughout the play, Julius Caesar, it is evident that Marcus Brutus is entirely good proving the statement there are no moral absolutes in the play to be false. The only action that Brutus does that is perceived as “bad” is justifiable, rendering it as “good.” With no other bad action or thing done by Brutus in the rest of the play, Brutus is irrefragably entirely good. The only action that Brutus does that was perceived as bad was the assassination of Julius Caesar. This action, however, is actually not bad and is a good action as it was justifiable. The reason that Brutus killed Julius Caesar was not for personal gain and was for the benefit of Rome. Brutus clearly exhibits that he did not kill Caesar for personal reasons in the line, “It must be by his death And for my part I know no personal cause to spurn at him…” Due to Brutus having a justifiable reason for killing Caesar that is “good” and is of benefit to others and not just Brutus, then the action of killing Caesar is a good one. The argument could be brought up that murder is never justifiable, and therefore Brutus is not entirely good. The argument that murder is never justifiable does not apply to more ancient times when the play is set and is thus not relevant to the play. This is to killing being more acceptable in ancient times than in modern times of which this notion originates from particularly due to a very violent 20
th
century. Therefore, as Brutus’ only action that is perceived as “bad” is actually good, and he has no other bad actions in the play, then Brutus is entirely good. Thus, the statement that there are no moral absolutes in Julius Caesar is incorrect as exhibited by Marcus Brutus.

Essay Assignment #3
Required length: 5-7 pages, not including the Works Cited
This assignment requires students to use the ideas from our readings to develop a research project on the experiences of the children of immigrants and college in the United States. Your purpose in Assignment #3 is to devise your own argument about your chosen subject and to support your argument using various sources (and your own ethnographic research if you would like to). This assignment requires you to identify a specific topic on your own and to do library research (and ethnographic research) in developing your argument: you must include direct citations from at least one (1) course reading and at least three (3) sources from the library databases. It is optional to use your own ethnographic research. In your essay, you should formulate a clear and focused thesis and provide a detailed account of your evidence.
As mentioned earlier, this assignment is to be driven largely by your own research and thinking. You should be doing library research as you write, not after you’ve completed a first draft. Research and writing are thoroughly connected. Your research process will involve reading, thinking, taking notes, and perusing the databases and other sources until you have figured out what you want to write. Then, as you continue writing, you should go back into the research process again to get new ideas or to find additional sources. Sometimes your argument shifts or changes as you find new sources, and this is a good sign that you are doing research-based writing correctly. Don’t be afraid to change direction in writing the first draft—you can always improve or clarify your draft in your revision process.
Remember that, in a short paper like this, you cannot write something meaningful about all aspects of the experiences of the children of immigrants and college in the United States, but you can make a significant argument about one or two issues in connection with this topic.
In Essay 3, you need to develop your own argument in connection with the experiences of the children of immigrants and college in the United States. You may pursue any argumentative angle that you would like. You may want to consider some of the topics raised by the authors that we read:
· Parental expectations/influence regarding education, college major, career choice
· Other influences on students’ pursuit of a college degree, choice of major/career
· Connection between parents’ work situation/financial status/work ethic and the choice to pursue a college education Comment by Zahraa Alquraini: I choose this topic
· Differences in educational attainment among different second-generation immigrant populations
· Reasons for a particular second-generation immigrant population’s high (or low) educational attainment
· Obstacles some second-generation individuals experience regarding going to college (such as poor high school education, lack of parental educational attainment, lack of .

Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
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.

ESSAY CHOICE 1Develop a communication strategy to resolve confli.docx
- 1. ESSAY CHOICE 1 Develop a communication strategy to resolve conflict in the work environment. One of the key challenges for managers is to find adaptive communication strategies that create an open, enabling work culture. Management have asked you to develop a communication strategy to improve staff morale following a meeting highlighting entrenched conflict in the workplace. Management is supportive of positive resolution and reluctant to lose staff members. Management perceive that the conflict is the result of: · discrimination issues due to diverse workplace · harassment / bullying issues · power issues. The critical analysis of the work environment and the resultant communication strategy will demonstrate your understanding of: · structural issues (mechanistic or organic structure or a hybrid of both) · cultural ethos of the organisation (receptivity of management, acceptance of diversity, openness to innovation) · characteristics of prevailing work culture of the organisation (e.g. embracive work culture and adaptivity of management) · work relationship issues such as interpersonal and group communication · ethical and legal best practice. Select an organisation that you thoroughly investigated (minimum of twenty staff). This might be an organisation where you have worked. However, this organisation must be large enough and sufficiently complex to sustain a detailed analysis of these important conflict issues. However, focus only on those elements that are most
