Introduction to Career Planning
In the lecture preceding this tutorial you will have seen an outline of the career planning process and the significant benefits to you of doing some initial career planning in your first year of study. Some of the benefits include:

Dr Sharron Dickman, well known for her research and publications in the area of Arts Marketing and museum management, presents on Business Planning, Strategic Planning, Volunteer and Board Recruitment as part of the 2010 M&GSQ Standards Program.
I gave this presentation to an undergraduate Design Research class at the University of Kansas, taught by Julia Eschman and Tamara Christensen, in March 2011. It focuses on the importance of finding the right people to drive insights for ethnographic/design research, and addresses tactics for doing so.
Recruiting is a key part of the design research process that often does not get the attention it deserves, to the detriment of project outcomes. I invite you to share your experiences and questions, to build a dialogue about this topic!

Answer the following questions based on the ethnography Dancing Skel.docxSHIVA101531
Answer the following questions based on the ethnography Dancing Skeletons. It is not necessary to write
an essay, but do engage the questions at a thoughtful level. Be sure to answer the question thoroughly as
each has several parts and use examples from the ethnography.
1. Why is it important for an anthropologist to be able to speak the local language? What
advantages did the author enjoy because of her language ability? What difficulties ensue when a
researcher is not able to speak the local language? If all contact with the population is through an
interpreter, what sorts of bias might arise in the data collection?
2. What was the outcome of the author’s visit to #104’s compound? What had happened to the
child since her last visit several years earlier? Why did the author use numbers to refer to people
in her study, instead of their names? Do you think it was right for Dettwyler to intervene in the
case of child #104, or should anthropologists just study people in other cultures and endeavor to
have as little impact on them as possible? Is it possible to conduct anthropological research
without having some effect on the people you study?
3. How do the medical resources of Magnambougou compare to those available in the United
States? What are the main diseases children in Mali must contend with?
4. Using female circumcision as the focus, discuss the concept of cultural relativism as used by
anthropologists. Even though we may understand the beliefs behind the practice, does cultural
relativism compel us to approve of female circumcision? What are some of the rationales
provided by cultures that practice female circumcision? What was Agnes’s attitude (Chapter 3)
when she found out that neither the author nor her daughter had been, or where intending to be
circumcised?
5. Aminata’s parents could see that she was very skinny even though she ate a lot of food.
“Everyone knows that you can eat a lot and still be skinny” (Dettwyler 1994: 44). How do
observations such as these contribute to the belief among some Malians that food intake and
health are not related?

Subaru's Sales Boom Thanks to the Weaker Yen For the Japanese carmaker Subaru, a sharp fall in the value of yen against the U.S. dollar has turned a problem—the lack of U.S. production—into an unexpected sales boom. Subaru, which is a niche player in the global auto industry, has long bucked the trend among its Japanese rivals of establishing significant manufacturing facilities in the North American market. Instead, the company has chosen to concentrate most of its manufacturing in Japan in order to achieve economies of scale at its home plants, exporting its production to the United States. Subaru still makes 80 percent of its vehicles at home, compared with 21 percent for Honda. Back in 2012, this strategy was viewed as something of a liability. In those days, one U.S. dollar bought only 80 Japanese yen. The strong yen meant that Subaru cars were being priced out of the U.S. market. Japanese companies like Honda and Toyota, which had substantial production in the United States, gained business at Subaru's expense. But from 2012 onward, with Japan mired in recession and consumer prices falling, the country's central bank repeatedly cut interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy. As interest rates fell in Japan, investors moved money out of the country, selling yen and buying the U.S. dollar. They used those dollars to invest in U.S. stocks and bonds where they anticipated a greater return. As a consequence, the price of yen in terms of dollars fell. By December 2015, one dollar bought 120 yen, representing a 50 percent fall in the value of the yen against the U.S. dollar since 2012. For Subaru, the depreciation in the value of the yen has given it a pricing advantage and driven a sales boom. Demand for Subaru cars in the United States has been so strong that the automaker has been struggling to keep up. The profits of Subaru's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, have surged. In February 2015, Fuji announced that it would earn record operating profits of around ¥410 billion ($3.5 billion) for the financial year ending March 2015. Subaru's profit margin has increased to 14.4 percent, compared with 5.6 percent for Honda, a company that is heavily dependent on U.S. production. The good times continued in 2015, with Subaru posting record profits in the quarter ending December 31, 2015. Despite its current pricing advantage, Subaru is moving to increase its U.S. production. It plans to expand its sole plant in the United States, in Indiana, by March 2017, with a goal of making 310,000 a year, up from 200,000 currently. When asked why it is doing this, Subaru's management notes that the yen will not stay weak against the dollar forever, and it is wise to expand local production as a hedge against future increases in the value of the yen. Indeed, when the Bank of Japan decided to set a key interest rate below zero in early February 2016, the yen .

ANSWER THE DISCUSSION QUESTION 250 WORDS MINDiscussion Q.docxSHIVA101531
**ANSWER THE DISCUSSION QUESTION 250 WORDS MIN**
Discussion Questions:
How should the United States government deal with the heightened concern about homegrown violent extremism and the growing concern for the preservation of civil liberties? What are the political and constitutional consequences of counter-terrorism? Lastly, how do we assess the tradeoffs between freedom and security?
***REPLY TO EACH POST 100 WORDS MIN EACH***
1. The United States government will always have to face the homegrown violent extremist because with the internet alone people are able to research just about anything and find their answers. The civil liberties are being violated because you have FBI and CIA looking into what people on doing on the webs. I personally believe that you gave up the right when you decided to goggle whatever it is you’re looking up. It’s also like social media site take Facebook for example people are willing to give up their rights so they can be on Facebook and be able to look or post whatever they want. But just like ever website the owner of that site has a right to delete what they don’t want on it as well. So why can’t the FBI/CIA look into and potentially stop a homegrown extremist from attacking the nation or even just attacking schools, churches, and retail stores like the mall or Wal-Mart. All these locations have had attacks from violent extremist when if they were being watched or monitored those attacks could have been stopped or at least less death could have occurred. From a political and constitutional stand point, consequences of counter-terrorism can vary. I political stand is to protect and preserve the freedom for the people. Protecting one’s Constitutional rights depends on what the politician’s plans on policies and procedures that could begin to take away those civil rights that were granted and give people the sense of freedom that the nation is built on. Policies and procedures can change everything take the mask wearing and social distancing for Covid-19, you have the people that are okay with it all and are following the rules but then you have the ones that have been protesting or fighting people over the fact that they don’t want to wear a mask. To me personally it’s simple to wear a mask but to others it’s a reason of rights being taken away by mandating it. Working for the military and DHS I personally don’t see freedom and security as a tradeoff. If agencies do their jobs correctly and protect the United States and National Security then freedom wouldn’t be at stake. I believe in freedom but the security measures in place are to help protect that freedom, without the security measures the nation would be under attack like 9/11 or worse.
2. The internal terrorist threat in the United States is operational and complicated, with continuing threats from extreme left- and right-wing extremist groups and radicalization and recruitment efforts by international terrorist groups. Since Sept/11, our.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

Introduction to Career Planning
In the lecture preceding this tutorial you will have seen an
outline of the career planning process and the significant
benefits to you of doing some initial career planning in your
first year of study. Some of the benefits include:
· Increasing the chances of getting a job that matches your
important life needs, and which uses the areas of skill and
knowledge you’d prefer to be using, rather than just any job.
· Being able to make more informed choices about the selection
of your sub-major at the end of this first year.
· The ability to develop and extensively research, over time, a
targeted list of your ideal employers. As a result you’ll know
about potential job opportunities, and when and how these
employers recruit their staff.
· The ability to be more strategic in your networking strategy
(you’ll need to do this because 60-80% of employment
opportunities are never advertised). The time to begin
developing your network is while you are studying.
And ultimately during your final year of study and beyond, as a
result of having a career plan, you’ll to be able to:
· Prepare a highly targeted resume and other job application
documents.
· Sell yourself strongly during an employment interview
You will recall that the career planning process involves
6. 1. Developing high levels of self awareness (who am I and what
is important to me?)
This involves:
· clarifying the skills and knowledge you have acquired so far
· identifying the skills and knowledge you might need to
develop for the future
· beginning an exploration of the values, beliefs and
motivations that are an essential part of your employment
· reviewing factors that might contribute to your job
satisfaction, or lack of it – management style, the work
environment, working conditions, workplace
policies/procedures, the role itself etc
· considering broader questions about needs in other areas of
your life which are impacted by your employment e.g. financial,
health, relationship, family, leisure, personal and professional
growth etc
2. Options Awareness (where am I going?)
When you have a much clearer understanding of your
capabilities and interests and have identified some of your
important life needs going forward, you are then in a better
position to research and identify the employment options that fit
these criteria.
The outcome from this stage of career planning is to develop a
targeted list of your ideal employers and job roles.
3. Self Marketing (how will I get there?)
This final part of career transition planning is the preparation
and delivery of your ‘sales pitch’. It will involve any, or all of:
· preparation of a targeted resume
· preparing and implementing a targeted networking and
information interviewing strategy
· preparation for, and participation in a formal employment
interview
As you will appreciate, the effectiveness of your sales pitch will
depend on which of your attributes you wish to promote, and to
whom you will promote them.
7. In order for your self-marketing messages to have the necessary
appeal you will also need to understand what it is important to
your ideal employer in terms of the talent they hire, and the job
and organisational outcomes they want to achieve. Work and
life values assessment
A key requirement for experiencing high levels of job
satisfaction is to be involved in work, and in a working
environment which is in keeping with our most basic
expectations and beliefs, and which helps satisfy some of our
important life needs.
Our expectations about our work, work environment,
relationships with our boss and work colleagues will be shaped
by our values and beliefs. If we find ourselves in a situation
which conflicts with these expectations we’re pretty likely to be
unhappy, and this will tend to show up in our work
performance. When we don’t perform at our best we run the risk
of upsetting others like our manager, work colleagues, clients,
customers and so on.
When your work performance falls away, so will your
reputation, and when you want to move on, or you are pushed, it
will be pretty hard to get a good reference from your old
employer.
Hopefully you will agree, it will be in your interest to spend
some time thinking about and clarifying your most important
values. Armed with this information, you will be in a much
stronger position to target employers and job roles which
provide a good match with your values.
The following exercise will help you to identify your most
important values in relation to your future employment.

47. probably feature in your self-marketing material; they can assist
you to establish your points of differentiation from other job
candidates.
In which of the 6 broad categories in the Personal Transferable
Skills questionnaire did you get the highest proportion of ‘fair’
or ‘need improving’ ratings? The elements you’ve identified
here could provide a focus for some of your ongoing personal
and professional development
Develop a Work Target – Part 2
The work you want to do
Describe in as much detail as you can the type of work you
would like to do. At this stage you might find it useful to
review your answers to the values and skills assessment
exercises for ideas about the main purpose or focus of the job
List below what you believe to be the strongest skills and
competencies can you bring to this work. (Remember to include
the strongest of your skills you’ve uncovered from the
assessment exercise you have already completed). Remember
also to include any areas of technical skill or knowledge you
48. believe you have or will acquire through your studies.
Employer research
Visit an online jobs board such as www.seek.com.au or
www.careerone.com.au and search for examples of the types of
jobs you want to do. Don’t get too hung up at this stage about
not being qualified, just look positions as if you’ve already
graduated and are employed in the profession in which you want
to work. For example, if you are studying accountancy and you
want to work as an auditor, search for auditor positions. The
location of the employer doesn’t matter either.
Your task is to summarise below the types of skill and
knowledge required by employers in the roles that you have
researched.
List the names of at least five of organisations in which you’d
like to be employed (with a brief explanation of why?)

1) What is involved for Assignment 3?
The assignment requires you to write three short reflective
pieces. Each piece will reflect on specific content within the
course. The three pieces in total should not exceed 2000 words.
Each piece requires you to bring together:
1. Information from relevant readings
2. Concepts from the relevant parts of the course
3. Personal experience
Turn these over in your mind and reflect on the topic, then write
in the first person about your considered view.
What will I be assessed on?
Check the feedback marksheet under assignment 3 heading on
the course site to see what is required that you will be marked
on
Key assessment criteria re reflective writing:
Extent to which the assignment contains reflective writing.
Depth of reflection.
Ability to convey reflection clearly in written English.
What are the three topics I need to write about?
You will find full details of assignment 3 in course information
booklet (see course site)
You are required to write three separate reflective pieces for
this assignment:
Entry 1 – The first reflective piece requires you to reflect on:
1) The first reflective piece requires you to reflect on how what
is considered ethical may vary form one culture to another.
Question: Reflecting on Rachel’s article: The challenge of
54. Cultural Relativism (1993). Do you think it is a valid theory or
does it have deficiencies and problems if put into practice, in
guiding on what is right or wrong. Reflect on examples from
different cultures and how they may reflect what Rachels
argues, providing examples that show that this theory may or
may not be a suitable guide to justify different ways of acting
and behaving in different cultures.
Information: the required reading is Rachels’ (1993) Cultural
Relativism article which can be accessed on the Course site
under Assignment 3 heading. You may, however, also choose to
anchor into your reflections any of the other readings from the
ethics section of the course.
Information: There are two dimensions to consider:
Way of making sense: Useful conceptual background might
come from the segment of the course which relates to ethics in
particular.
Personal experience: there may be examples in which you have
acted in or held views on what you considered an ethical
manner and the consequences of that. Or, it might be drawing
on reflections of how different countries act that do not agree
with your country’s ethical stance or your own personal ethics,
e.g. executions in Bali for drug related crimes which Australian
law does not agree with.
Entry 2 – The second reflective piece requires you to reflect on
an aspect of careers:
Question: Reflecting on three key values you identified from the
Career Workbook task, what steps could you take in ensuring
you achieve a job that can enable you to fit with your values,
using the Developing a Work Target" (Part 1 & 2) suggested
steps from Career Workbook.
The textbook may also be useful.
Information: Spend time working through the Careers
55. workbook. Students will complete this task in class time-you
will be given a hard copy version of the workbook.
Way of making sense: Useful conceptual background might
come from the segment of the course which discusses the
profession that you seek to join and the values that are
important to you. If you are already a member of a profession,
the Careers Workbook will help you identify the values that are
important for that profession. Your can then reflect on how
these values can be mapped to your career targets.
You may, however, also choose to anchor your reflection to any
of the other readings from the career and job related readings
from this Course.
Way of making sense: Useful conceptual background might
come from the segment of the course which discuss work and
professionalism or even ethics.
Personal experience: This may be experience you have had or
experiences of other people in your profession who have made a
meaningful contribution or are in a job that expresses their
values.
Suggested reading - Careers workbook.
Entry 3 )The third reflective piece requires you to reflect on
being a professional both in looking at lives of other
professionals and also what you want to be as a professional:
Question: After reading Bell’s (2010) article on Jane Goodall,
and Beard’s (2012) article on Mohammed Yunus, reflect on
their approaches to being a professional, and consider in what
ways what your approach to being a professional in your future
career will be similar or different to theirs.
Articles :(these are on the course site under assignment 3
heading):
Information: the following readings can be accessed under
56. assignment 3 heading on the Course site:.
E-reading 15 Author Beard (writing on Yunus)
E reading 17 Author: Bell (writing on Goodall)
These readings by Bell and Beard are a starting point.
Way of making sense: Useful conceptual background might
come from the segment of the Course about being professional,
readings by Bell and Beard.
Personal experience: This might be examples of people who
have acted professionally who act as role models and who
inspire you as to what a professional should be.
Reflective writing records the writer’s thoughts about individual
learning and experience. Whenever you use ideas from a source,
reference them using the UniSA version of the Harvard Guide.
What is the word count?
The three pieces should be 2000 words in total, +/- 10%. So, if
you divide that up equally it is about 600-700 words for each
entry.
When is the due date?
Sunday, 8 January 2015 at 6pm. To be submitted through
Turnitin
How many marks is Assignment 3 worth?
Assignment 3 is worth 30% of the overall course grade.
6) Can I write in the first person?
Yes, since it is about your own reflections and experiences.
Ensure you use an
I’ focus, e.g. ‘after I read what X discussed in relation to’… or
‘I had not realised’… or ‘I now understand’… or ‘In future I
will’…
7) Where can I get help?
Your lecturer and reflective writing guidelines under label
‘Assignment 3’ on the Course site.
Also look at Assignment 3 guidelines in the Course booklet and
57. Assignment 3 feedback marksheet to see requirements for this
assignment on which you will be allocated marks.
8) Is there a minimum number of references?
You should have at least:
Entry 1: minimum of 1 reference (Rachels on Cultural
Relativism)
Entry 2:Career workbook and other references if they relate to
your reflections
Entry 3: will need at least to refer to readings on Yunus and
Goodall.
Will I need a reference list?
Yes you must also include a reference list at end of the
assignment that includes the references from all three pieces of
reflection.
Where will I find the readings for assignment 3?
Under heading on the course site for assignment 3 you will find
references by Rachels (entry 2), Bell and Beard (entry 3). You
will be given a hard copy of the Career workbook in class plus
you will an electronic copy of it on the site during the week we
study it in class
9) How do I write reflectively?
The entries should convey a sense that some learning and
development has taken place within you. Overall, when writing
this assignment you should have these elements.
i) State the question.
ii) State your position, do you agree? Disagree? Both?
iii) Bring in some material from the course (this can include
readings but also what was discussed in the course such as
Youtube videos, what you realised from your presentation in
assignment 2, your life experiences, the media, etc.
iv) Show a sense of reflecting on things. E.g. why could this be
happening? What are the reasons? Is there another side to the
story?
v) Show that you have digested the information and learnt
something. What have you learnt that you didn't know before?
58. What is different for you now that you have more insight into
the matter?
vi) Show where you go from here. What is your action plan?
What would you do in the future? What would you do
differently now that you have new knowledge? What would you
recommend?
There are some examples of reflective writing and types of
reflective writing under heading for assignment 3 on the course
site.
There will be exercises in class to assist students in
understanding the concept of reflection and to provide an
opportunity to practice reflective writing.
