Organizational Change Models
Introduction
Change management models are models that are used by organizations in order to ensure swift change management. In order to apply change in an organization then the management needs to adhere to certain principles to effect the change. Different organizations experience different situations; thus they prefer different models. Change cannot be forced on employees and the organization at large therefore the change needs to be achievable, measurable, and realistic. Some of the important
aspects
in developing of the models are the role of the leaders in the change, the communication process, and overcoming resistance to change. This paper will focus on McKinsey’s – 7’s framework and the Kurt Lewin change management model in respect to the three important aforementioned aspects of change management models.
The McKinsey’s 7-s framework was developed in the 1980’s by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, who were consultants working for McKinsey & Company consulting firm. The model has stood the test of time as it has been able to be relevant till date. This model centers on seven internal factors or aspects that any organization need to be aligned in order for it to be successful. The model can be used in a wide variety of company situations, making it a universal model. The model helps the management to determine how best they can implement a proposed strategy, determine the probable effects of company changes in the future and to improve the general performance of the company.
The seven elements in McKinsey’s model are broadly categorized in to either hard elements or soft elements. The soft elements are intangible and difficult to describe; they include skills, shared values, staff and style. On the other hand, hard elements are easily identifiable, concrete and can be easily be influenced by the management. The hard elements are; systems, structure and strategy (Waterman, Peters & Phillips, 1980).
In order for an organization to succeed then it needs a strategy to do that. The strategy can be attained through setting of objectives and performance metrics of both the employees and the organization. The organization should implement strategies that are geared towards dealing with the competitive pressure and gaining competitive advantage. The strategic plan should be able to deal with client needs and at the same time adapt to the dynamic environmental changes in the business world. The structure of an organization in defining its success, the structure entails how the company or its workforce is divided and the hierarchy. Various departments should be able to coordinate effectively. The structure of the organization defines how the team members align and organize themselves, and the lines of communication present in the organization.
An organization has many systems that run the organization e.g., the IT system and HR system. These systems should be in such a way that it works properly with the culture.
The presentation is about organisational development. it is a set of systematic change methods in organisation which help in fighting with resistance of employees towards change in the organisation.

Organizational development (OD) aims to improve an organization's effectiveness and the well-being of its employees. The document outlines several key aspects of OD including: the process which involves identifying areas for improvement, investigating problems, creating action plans, implementing changes, and evaluating results; challenges to change such as resistance, conflicting goals, and burnout; and interventions like team building, job enrichment, and diversity training. OD models like Lewin's three stage model of unfreezing, changing, and refreezing as well as Burke-Litwin's model of transactional and transformational change are discussed.

INTRODUCTION
Managers are found in every organization. They apply principles of management to address basic organizational needs. Systems thinking provides a useful paradigm and structure for managerial activities. Quality initiatives and good customer service enhance the operations and potential for success of any organization. This chapter introduces all three subjects: management, systems thinking, and quality improvement.
MANAGEMENT
Management evokes images of control, motivation, and operations—internal activities that are essential in organizations. Referring to the individuals who perform those activities, one contemporary source defines management as “those in charge of running a business” (Princeton University
2010
). Another offers the following definition: “the person or persons that are in charge of running a business establishment, organization or institution” (American Heritage
2006
). Traditionally, the primary activities (also referred to as functions) of managers have been categorized as planning, organizing, leading or motivating, and controlling (Schermerhorn
2009
). In this book, we use the term
facilitating
to encompass the motivational and leadership activities emphasized in health organizations. We also add the activity
improving
to each of the four functions to emphasize the foundational importance of continuous quality improvement in all management activities. The chapters of this book are grouped around the four management functions of:
planning for improvement, organizing for improvement, facilitating improvement
, and
control and improvement
. Managers and the four categories of management activities are essential to ensure the smooth operation of an entity.
Management has many experts (both by reputation and by self-proclamation) who have published books on the subject (see references and resources at the end of the chapter). The common thread is the need to guide an organization toward its goals. A related common element of a manager’s job is providing guidance and sufficient resources for employees to be productive. Other important aspects of managing that have emerged more recently include applying systems thinking, continuously improving the quality of services and programs, and providing excellent customer service. These are discussed in greater detail later in this chapter.
Competencies are defined as effective applications of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values in complex situations (Calhoun et al.
2002
). A diverse range of managerial competencies is needed in all working milieus. Work that is related to health is undertaken in a wide variety of settings, including private organizations that are classified as for-profit or nonprofit and pub.

Our goal is to present a basic understanding of organizational development, what it entails, and some examples of common OD interventions and how it operates.
Organizational Development CHAPTER 1.pptakram44pma
The document discusses organizational development (OD) and organization interventions. It defines OD as a deliberately planned effort to increase an organization's effectiveness and viability. OD aims to confront problems, increase cooperation, and improve ongoing operations. Organization interventions are structured activities used individually or in combination to improve social or task performance. Examples of interventions include team building, coaching, large group interventions, mentoring, and performance appraisal. The assumptions of interventions are that groups are the basic units of change, organizations aim to reduce competition and increase collaboration.
This document discusses organization development and organization interventions. It defines organization development as a planned effort to increase an organization's effectiveness and viability. Organization development involves interventions like restructuring, downsizing, and redesigning tasks and units. Organization interventions are structured activities used by change agents and clients to improve social and task performance. Examples of interventions include surveys, discussions, and meetings between change agents and clients. The goal is to implement planned changes that develop the organization.
Organizational Culture And Its Effects On Team Development...Ashley Lott
Organizational culture develops over time and affects team development and effectiveness. Understanding organizational culture is essential for achieving quality culture and enhancing team output and development. Critical factors that influence organizational culture include purpose, processes, history, goals, objectives, size, and social and economic factors. An organization can adopt methods to achieve an effective and efficient organizational culture by first defining and identifying the existing culture through surveys and interviews with employees.
The document discusses change management processes and challenges. It describes the three phases of change management as preparing for change, managing change, and reinforcing change. It also discusses Lewin's three step model of change as unfreezing, moving, and refreezing. Some key challenges discussed are planning, lack of consensus, communication, and employee resistance to change. Effective change management can benefit organizations by enhancing best practices and creating an enabling work environment.
The document introduces the concept of adaptive leadership and provides tools to help identify and develop adaptive leadership skills. It discusses key fundamentals of an adaptive leadership approach including knowledge of the organization, willingness to project into the future, breaking down barriers, being disruptive, being agile, empowering others, and responding to changes. The tools include reflective questions, examples of adaptive leadership strategies, and a self-assessment to help leaders strengthen their adaptive skills.

IMPACT ANALYSIS 5
Impact Analysis
Nicholas J Ceo
American Military University
January 2017
Introduction
Impact analysis involves identification of overall consequences that result from implementation of a given change in an organization. Prior impact analysis is designed to eliminate unexpected and possible issues that may occur when accommodating change. The criteria look at proposed changes and the overall impact to ensure it is managed. Sometimes analysis calls for experimenting given changes on a small scale before they are initiated. Therefore, each solution is subject to sidelining and scrutiny for possible adverse impacts with positive impacts being looked at on a minor level.
Coaching
Coaching is a solution suggested for employees in retention and improvement of excellent skills. The impact of such a program lies in its cost. To implement the program, the company will incur expenses that may result in bankruptcy especially in the department of strategic planning. Clients will have a positive gain of getting new skills, but in the long run, the company will make losses.
Coaching also disrupts the company’s timelines and operations. This can be noticed in rescheduling operations to create time for coaching and even do preliminary practices based on the knowledge imparted.
The short-term impacts on clients and the entire human resource lie in delayed production and delivery. This is because the otherwise useful time is spent in learning new skills and exercising them. Furthermore, some information offered during coaching may differ with the skills already available. This will create confusion among the employees as they are not used to the skills. The result will be disruption of operations, and thus the company may realize losses.
Continuous Process Improvement
The process involves a gradual change in processes. Accommodating such a change lies in the difficulties it offers to the organization regarding finance. To implement bitwise changes, an organization must be ready to pause given programs which in turn affects other operations. For instance, a maintenance operation on its halts almost the entire production process. This reduces the working hours of employees hence may require compensation for time lost. The company, in turn, makes losses for paying for costs of unproductive time.
The process may also disrupt managerial operations. This is because the primary stakeholders will have to undertake supervision and oversight during process improvement. The later adds to the time lost and costs of compensation as well.
With the disruptions at work, some employs may resort to resignation since they may not cope with the changes. Take for example introduction of computers in an institution where clients do not know the machine, and they have to use it; some will prefer migration rather than learning the skill.

The document discusses managing organizational change. It begins by stating that change is inevitable for organizations to adapt and survive in a changing business world. It emphasizes the importance of effective communication with employees to explain the reasons for change and gain their commitment. It also stresses that leadership plays a key role in managing change successfully by defining a clear organizational culture, vision, and path forward. Resistance to change is also addressed, with the main causes being fear of the unknown, loss of control, and uncertainty about the effects and process of change. Overall, the document outlines some of the main challenges in managing organizational change and highlights the significance of communication, leadership, and addressing employee resistance.
Organization development and change are professional fields of social action and the areas of scientific enquiry. The practices of organization development and change covers a wide range of activities and functions. Various areas that illustrate organization development and change Management are, working in co-ordination and integration with the other individuals, such as, employees, colleagues, supervisors, leaders, managers and directors, bringing about structural changes and processes that may influence the job satisfaction of the individuals. The study of organization development and change Management have reports a broad range of areas that have been taken into account in this research paper. The main purpose of researching upon these areas is to find out how effectiveness can be brought about in the implementation of functions within the organization. Bringing about innovative changes and transformations and implementation of tasks and functions towards the development of the organization are the main objectives of the personnel.

The paper will discuss an organizational change in management in order to resolve the problem within the organization. The first part of the paper will address different strategies used to maintain successful change and the second part will address how to overcome the resistance of change to achieve the new goals for the benefits of the organization.
Problems exist when something unexpected happens and for any organization to function effectively these problems must be resolved. Leaders and supervisors must identify the current situations and try to find out where the problem exists. McNamara (2010) states “Significant organizational change occurs, for example, when an organization changes its overall strategy for success, adds or removes a major section or practice, and/or wants to change the very nature by which it operates. It also occurs when an organization evolves through various life cycles, just like people must successfully evolve through life cycles”. It is the leaders’ role to facilitate changes since it is not an easy process, and be able to assist in the organization’s adoption of opportunities and threats.
Case study: International Cargo Carrier Co. (IACC).
The company is one of the cargo companies in Egypt. Their primary activity is concentrated in Suez and Alexandria ports. It provides shipping services to North America and southern Asia. The company lately was struggling and suffered the worst year in its history due to losses in income and layoffs. The company needed to gain back its image among the cargo business thus change in management, and a transformation was applied. The company today became successful and gained back its position as one of the well-known cargo carrier companies in Egypt.
The organizational change was successful because their mission was accomplished. Making sure that packages were delivered on time, improving the information system in order to speed up the orders process, establishing good customer relationships, monitoring shipping orders and loading and unloading of trucks. Different strategies were used to maintain this success and are addressed as follows:
• The company’s awareness for urgent change and the recognition of the threats allowed them to make others in the company aware of the need for change. The company was scanning the internal and external environment to identify competitive situations, profits and losses, updated technology, and market trends which was an asset for leaders to communicate with their subordinates.
• A new strategy was developed to formulate a vision for the change and applying different strategies to reach new goals and make the change happen. McNamara (2010) states “It is important to know the reason for change, plan for new goals, needs to reach these goals and how to estab.
The document discusses change management and provides an overview of the change management process. It describes change management as a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from their current state to a desired future state. It then outlines Kurt Lewin's three stage change management model of unfreezing, changing, and refreezing. Finally, it discusses a general five stage model of change management including anticipating change, entering and contracting, diagnosis, implementation, and evaluation and institutionalization.
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVLOPMENT & ITS INTERVENTIONST HARI KUMAR
This document provides an overview of organizational development (OD) and organization interventions (OI). It discusses the meaning and objectives of OD, the assumptions and values, the process, and effectiveness. It also examines the meaning and assumptions of OI, factors that help change agents, and examples of interventions at different levels including individual, group, and structural. The goal of OD is to increase an organization's effectiveness and ability to change, while OI are structured activities used by change agents to facilitate improvement.
The document discusses several challenges faced by human resource management (HRM) including personal challenges related to individual employees, organizational challenges inside the organization, and environmental challenges from outside forces. It then examines specific HRM challenges such as productivity, empowerment, brain drain, ethics and social responsibility, job insecurity, and matching people and organizations. The document also outlines strategies that HRM can use to address challenges like controlling costs, improving quality, developing capabilities, and restructuring. Finally, it discusses recent and ongoing challenges for HRM like the hybrid work culture, lack of agility, employee communication, uncertainty, and engaging employees.
Organizational development (OD) aims to improve organizational effectiveness through planned interventions. It involves applying behavioral science to improve strategies, structures, and processes. The goal of OD is to help organizations adapt to external changes and improve performance through positive changes to areas like management, skills, communication, systems, and structures. Effective OD interventions fit organizational needs, are based on knowledge of intended outcomes, and transfer change management skills to members. Action research is an OD strategy that involves diagnosing issues, planning desired future states, implementing and evaluating actions, and institutionalizing changes. It is a cyclical, collaborative process aimed at generating knowledge to define and achieve a desired organizational state.
The document discusses organizational development (OD) interventions and provides examples. It defines OD interventions as planned activities that help organizations perform better and work more efficiently. The main types of interventions discussed are technostructural, human process, strategic change, and human resource management. Examples are provided of how du Telecom partnered with Huawei to improve project management and how Nokia transformed its business model from mobile devices to networking equipment.

Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

Impact Analysis
Nicholas J Ceo
American Military University
January 2017
Introduction
Impact analysis involves identification of overall consequences that result from implementation of a given change in an organization. Prior impact analysis is designed to eliminate unexpected and possible issues that may occur when accommodating change. The criteria look at proposed changes and the overall impact to ensure it is managed. Sometimes analysis calls for experimenting given changes on a small scale before they are initiated. Therefore, each solution is subject to sidelining and scrutiny for possible adverse impacts with positive impacts being looked at on a minor level.
Coaching
Coaching is a solution suggested for employees in retention and improvement of excellent skills. The impact of such a program lies in its cost. To implement the program, the company will incur expenses that may result in bankruptcy especially in the department of strategic planning. Clients will have a positive gain of getting new skills, but in the long run, the company will make losses.
Coaching also disrupts the company’s timelines and operations. This can be noticed in rescheduling operations to create time for coaching and even do preliminary practices based on the knowledge imparted.
The short-term impacts on clients and the entire human resource lie in delayed production and delivery. This is because the otherwise useful time is spent in learning new skills and exercising them. Furthermore, some information offered during coaching may differ with the skills already available. This will create confusion among the employees as they are not used to the skills. The result will be disruption of operations, and thus the company may realize losses.
Continuous Process Improvement
The process involves a gradual change in processes. Accommodating such a change lies in the difficulties it offers to the organization regarding finance. To implement bitwise changes, an organization must be ready to pause given programs which in turn affects other operations. For instance, a maintenance operation on its halts almost the entire production process. This reduces the working hours of employees hence may require compensation for time lost. The company, in turn, makes losses for paying for costs of unproductive time.
The process may also disrupt managerial operations. This is because the primary stakeholders will have to undertake supervision and oversight during process improvement. The later adds to the time lost and costs of compensation as well.
With the disruptions at work, some employs may resort to resignation since they may not cope with the changes. Take for example introduction of computers in an institution where clients do not know the machine, and they have to use it; some will prefer migration rather than learning the skill.

The document discusses managing organizational change. It begins by stating that change is inevitable for organizations to adapt and survive in a changing business world. It emphasizes the importance of effective communication with employees to explain the reasons for change and gain their commitment. It also stresses that leadership plays a key role in managing change successfully by defining a clear organizational culture, vision, and path forward. Resistance to change is also addressed, with the main causes being fear of the unknown, loss of control, and uncertainty about the effects and process of change. Overall, the document outlines some of the main challenges in managing organizational change and highlights the significance of communication, leadership, and addressing employee resistance.
Organization development and change are professional fields of social action and the areas of scientific enquiry.

The paper will discuss an organizational change in management in order to resolve the problem within the organization. The first part of the paper will address different strategies used to maintain successful change and the second part will address how to overcome the resistance of change to achieve the new goals for the benefits of the organization.
Problems exist when something unexpected happens and for any organization to function effectively these problems must be resolved. Leaders and supervisors must identify the current situations and try to find out where the problem exists. McNamara (2010) states “Significant organizational change occurs, for example, when an organization changes its overall strategy for success, adds or removes a major section or practice, and/or wants to change the very nature by which it operates. It also occurs when an organization evolves through various life cycles, just like people must successfully evolve through life cycles”. It is the leaders’ role to facilitate changes since it is not an easy process, and be able to assist in the organization’s adoption of opportunities and threats.
Case study: International Cargo Carrier Co. (IACC).
The company is one of the cargo companies in Egypt. Their primary activity is concentrated in Suez and Alexandria ports. It provides shipping services to North America and southern Asia. The company lately was struggling and suffered the worst year in its history due to losses in income and layoffs. The company needed to gain back its image among the cargo business thus change in management, and a transformation was applied. The company today became successful and gained back its position as one of the well-known cargo carrier companies in Egypt.
The organizational change was successful because their mission was accomplished. Making sure that packages were delivered on time, improving the information system in order to speed up the orders process, establishing good customer relationships, monitoring shipping orders and loading and unloading of trucks. Different strategies were used to maintain this success and are addressed as follows:
• The company’s awareness for urgent change and the recognition of the threats allowed them to make others in the company aware of the need for change. The company was scanning the internal and external environment to identify competitive situations, profits and losses, updated technology, and market trends which was an asset for leaders to communicate with their subordinates.
• A new strategy was developed to formulate a vision for the change and applying different strategies to reach new goals and make the change happen. McNamara (2010) states “It is important to know the reason for change, plan for new goals, needs to reach these goals and how to estab.
The document discusses change management and provides an overview of the change management process. It describes change management as a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from their current state to a desired future state. It then outlines Kurt Lewin's three stage change management model of unfreezing, changing, and refreezing. Finally, it discusses a general five stage model of change management including anticipating change, entering and contracting, diagnosis, implementation, and evaluation and institutionalization.
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVLOPMENT & ITS INTERVENTIONST HARI KUMAR
This document provides an overview of organizational development (OD) and organization interventions (OI). It discusses the meaning and objectives of OD, the assumptions and values, the process, and effectiveness. It also examines the meaning and assumptions of OI, factors that help change agents, and examples of interventions at different levels including individual, group, and structural. The goal of OD is to increase an organization's effectiveness and ability to change, while OI are structured activities used by change agents to facilitate improvement.
The document discusses several challenges faced by human resource management (HRM) including personal challenges related to individual employees, organizational challenges inside the organization, and environmental challenges from outside forces. It then examines specific HRM challenges such as productivity, empowerment, brain drain, ethics and social responsibility, job insecurity, and matching people and organizations. The document also outlines strategies that HRM can use to address challenges like controlling costs, improving quality, developing capabilities, and restructuring. Finally, it discusses recent and ongoing challenges for HRM like the hybrid work culture, lack of agility, employee communication, uncertainty, and engaging employees.
Organizational development (OD) aims to improve organizational effectiveness through planned interventions. It involves applying behavioral science to improve strategies, structures, and processes. The goal of OD is to help organizations adapt to external changes and improve performance through positive changes to areas like management, skills, communication, systems, and structures. Effective OD interventions fit organizational needs, are based on knowledge of intended outcomes, and transfer change management skills to members. Action research is an OD strategy that involves diagnosing issues, planning desired future states, implementing and evaluating actions, and institutionalizing changes. It is a cyclical, collaborative process aimed at generating knowledge to define and achieve a desired organizational state.
The document discusses organizational development (OD) interventions and provides examples. It defines OD interventions as planned activities that help organizations perform better and work more efficiently. The main types of interventions discussed are technostructural, human process, strategic change, and human resource management. Examples are provided of how du Telecom partnered with Huawei to improve project management and how Nokia transformed its business model from mobile devices to networking equipment.

Theme one is to identify the types of cultures or models of cultures and how they work or fit within an organization
Learning Activity #1
Using your reading material create a chart that describes the type, characteristics of the culture, associated values that would be important to keep the culture alive, and kinds of organizations structures that work best for culture. Compare and contrast them in your explanation of the chart. For instance what culture might work for Joe at the new sawmill and then which one might work at Purvis' shoe company.
Theme two: How to Create, Change, and Align Culture to the Structure and Vision.
Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

Should Transportation Security Officers Be Armed?
It is the opinion of this writer that Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) should not be
armed. It is my intent to illustrate that point in this paper. During my research I will weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of arming TSOs, examining each side of the argument. I will also
offer a potential solution that while costly will still prove to be less costly than arming TSOs.
What has led to this discussion? For a majority of our society it takes years and certain
events to take place in our lives for change to occur. Those events include graduating High
School/College, getting married, or having children. In a matter of only five short minutes on
the morning of November 1st, 2013, some individual’s lives changed forever. On that morning
Paul Anthony Ciancia, age 23, opened fire in Terminal 3 of the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). His senseless acts killed a TSO, while injuring six other individuals. The
shooting has been debated over and over again on whether it is a terrorist act or not. The
activities before, during, and after the shooting will show the acts were certainly a terrorist
attack. But more importantly could any deaths or injuries have been avoided if the TSOs were
armed? These is the question that will continue to be debated and one that will be addressed in
this paper.
Synopsis of the event that led up to this argument:
Shortly after being dropped off at the airport by his roommate, Paul Ciancia pulled out a
rifle and began opening fire. He was carrying luggage that was filled with a semiautomatic .223
caliber Smith & Wesson M&P-15 rifle, five 30-round magazines, and hundreds of additional
rounds of ammunition ("Lax shooting suspect," 2013). Walking up to the TSA checkpoint,
Ciancia pulled out a rifle and opened fire hitting TSO Gerardo Hernandez in the chest. Ciancia

then apparently moved into the screening area where he continued to fire striking two other
TSOs and a male citizen. According to eye witnesses, Ciancia continually asked civilians if they
were TSA officers, when they said “no” he moved on without shooting them ("Lax shooting:
Latest," 2013). Ciancia made it as far as the food court some five minutes after the first shots
were fired. He was then surrounded by LAX police officers who engaged him in a gunfight.
Shortly after the gunfight ended Ciancia was taken into custody where he had to be transported
to a nearby trauma hospital for gunshot wounds (Abdollah, 2013).
In total eight individuals had to be treated at the scene. Four victims were treated for
gunshot wounds, while the others were treated for other injuries ("6 hospitalized after," 2013).
The sole suspect Paul Ciancia was carrying a note on him that stated he “wanted to kill TSA”
and describe them as “pigs”, the note also mentioned “fiat currency” and “NWO” ("Lax shooting

"Uncle Vanya"
“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
But up to now, he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined,
and the land grows poorer and uglier”
The play “Uncle Vanya” written by Anton Chekhov is a pearl of the classics of Russian literature. Anton Chekhov left a great legacy in a form of his plays and short stories for the classics of world literature. Without a shadow of doubt, this masterpiece, written by one of the most prominent the Russian playwrights of his time, should be read with further analysis and discussion. “Uncle Vanya” is a realist play and Chekhov tried to make its scenes as true-to-life as possible. Chekhov spent one year writing “Uncle Vanya” and introduced a number of changes between the years 1896 – 1897. The final version of his play is famous worldwide. The plot of the play narrates a heartbreaking story of how the main hero, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky or Uncle Vanya that was a rather calm and quiet man undergoes a moral “rebirth” developing a spirit of a rebellion. Uncle Vanya, the main hero of the play, can be characterized as a bitter aging man who spent his life in toil working for his brother-in-law. Chekhov depicted the character of uncle Vanya as a misanthrope who recognized the miserable nature of other characters.
Moreover, Chekhov’s play also involves a number of other important issues that are experienced by the play’s characters. These issues include the feeling of pointless life lacking meaning, missed opportunities, and the most touching feeling of blind admiration. It should be admitted that Chekhov used to create hidden meaning in his plays to make the readers think critically not only of his work but of their lives either. Therefore, in the play, Chekhov made every character individualistic. For instance, the central character in the play, Uncle Vanya, cares about patrimony and the Serebryakov’s family’s property. Throughout the play, uncle Vanya finds himself dismissed and rejected without the right for an opinion. Chekhov also pointed out the suffering of other characters who struggle to change their lives for better. The play consists of a number of personal dramas that are interconnected.
It can be stated that Chekhov included a number of opposite lines in his play such as the choice between obedience or riot, feeling of admiration and disrespect. The following lines from the play demonstrate the feeling of disappointment and understanding the pointlessness of a situation: “”I’m mad — but people who conceal their utter lack of talent, their dullness, their complete heartlessness under the guise of the professor, the purveyor of learned magic — they aren’t mad” (Uncle Vanya). Uncle Vanya is concerned about the wasted years and the thought of how his life could look like in case he used the opportun ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Habitable Zones – Student Guide
Exercises
Please read through the background pages entitled Life, Circumstellar Habitable Zones, and The Galactic Habitable Zone before working on the exercises using simulations below.
Circumstellar Zones
Open the Circumstellar Zone Simulator. There are four main panels:
· The top panel simulation displays a visualization of a star and its planets looking down onto the plane of the solar system. The habitable zone is displayed for the particular star being simulated. One can click and drag either toward the star or away from it to change the scale being displayed.
· The General Settings panel provides two options for creating standards of reference in the top panel.
· The Star and Planets Setting and Properties panel allows one to display our own star system, several known star systems, or create your own star-planet combinations in the none-selected mode.
· The Timeline and Simulation Controls allows one to demonstrate the time evolution of the star system being displayed.
The simulation begins with our Sun being displayed as it was when it formed and a terrestrial planet at the position of Earth. One can change the planet’s distance from the Sun either by dragging it or using the planet distance slider.
Note that the appearance of the planet changes depending upon its location. It appears quite earth-like when inside the circumstellar habitable zone (hereafter CHZ). However, when it is dragged inside of the CHZ it becomes “desert-like” while outside it appears “frozen”.
Question 1: Drag the planet to the inner boundary of the CHZ and note this distance from the Sun. Then drag it to the outer boundary and note this value. Lastly, take the difference of these two figures to calculate the “width” of the sun’s primordial CHZ.
CHZ Inner Boundary
CHZ Outer Boundary
Width of CHZ
NAAP – Habitable Zones 1/7
Question 2: Let’s explore the width of the CHZ for other stars. Complete the table below for stars with a variety of masses.

Question 3: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the location of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Question 4: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Exploring Other Systems
Begin by selecting the system 51 Pegasi. This was the first planet discovered around a star using the radial velocity technique. This technique detects systematic shifts in the wavelengths of absorption lines in the star’s spectra over time due to the motion of the star around the star-planet center of mass. The planet orbiting 51 Pegasi has a mass of at least half Jupiter’s mass.
Question 5: Zoom out so that you can compare this planet to those in our solar system (you can click-hold-drag to change t ...

Hygiene Saves Lives
I. Intro: To give an informational speech about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis
A) Attention getter – On each square centimeter of your skin, there are about 1,500
bacteria. That’s a lot of germs. According to a study conducted by Michigan State
University researchers, 95% of people do not properly wash their hands long enough to
kill the infection causing germs and bacteria (Jaslow, “95 Percent of People Wash Their
Hands Improperly: Are You One of Them?”).
B) Purpose Statement - That’s gross. While I can’t force you to wash your hands, perhaps
today I can help you realize just how much history and evidence is behind this crucial
bathroom ritual.
C) Thesis – Today, I will inform you all about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis by discussing first
about his practice and studies, second about his scientific methods that saved a lot of
lives, and third about the germ theory we all take for granted.
II. BODY:
A) Main Point Number 1: To begin, I want to introduce Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis.
a) Ignaz Semmelweis became a physician and earned his doctorate degree in medicine
in 1844. This time period was known as the start of the golden age of the physician
scientist” (NPR.org). This means that doctors were expected to have scientific
training. Doctors were more interested in numbers and collecting data (Justin Lessler,
an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health).
b) In 1846, Dr. Semmelweis showed up for his new job in the maternity clinic at the
General Hospital in Vienna. Due to the time period, Dr. Semmelweis thought like a
physician scientist and wanted to figure out why so many women in maternity wards
were dying from childbed fever (Davis, “The Doctor Who Championed
Hand-Washing and Briefly Saved Lives”).
c) So what did he do? He collected data of his own. He studied two maternity wards in
the hospital. One was staffed by all male doctors and medical students, and the other
by female midwives. He tallied up the number of deaths in each ward and found that
women in the clinic staffed by doctors and medical students died at a rate 5 times ...

The document discusses the case of Terri Schiavo, who was in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. It summarizes the key facts of her medical condition and diagnosis, the disagreement between her husband and parents about continuing life-sustaining treatment, and the multiple legal appeals involved in the case. It concludes that while both sides wanted what was right for Terri, the central issue is determining what the patient herself would have wanted, which the courts found clear evidence for in Terri's case based on prior statements to her husband.

This document summarizes a proposed change by a Little League commission to eliminate scoring in games. The commission believes this will reduce stress in children, but the summary argues that:
1) There is no evidence scoring causes stress, and children face stress from many sources unrelated to baseball.
2) Removing scoring upends decades of tradition and takes away important lessons about effort and reward for children.
3) Parents will likely oppose the change as it diminishes their experiences supporting and bonding with their children over the game.

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.

B7401:AO1 Organizational Behavior
Sharon Reed

Dr. Kemp

Abstract
In this paper a problem was defined in an organization and
behavior theory was use. Theory was use to bring about a
change in the organization, including climate and employee
motivation. The organization is a non-profit human service
organization.
Today’s organizations need to experience changes almost
continually if they are to stay viable. Some changes may be
somewhat minor as in the situation of putting in new software
program or fairly major, as in the circumstances of refocusing a
complete marketing plan, fighting off an aggressive takeover, or
altering an organization in the face of unrelenting foreign
competition. Organizational change frequently arises out of
problems faced by an organization. In various cases, though,
organizations change under the momentum enlightened leaders
who recognized that there was a problem.
Schmid (2010) describes organization change as “the process
which occurs in the Human Service Organization as an end
result of interior stress that cause changes and alterations in the
organization’s main going on, strategies, structures , goals, and
service programs.” Furthermore, precisely, planned
organizational change contains leadership and the gathering of
workers to reposition the organization to a wanted future
situation by using change procedures which includes both
2. human and technological features of the organization.
The organization that called the Brockton Multi Service Inc.,
(BAMSI) which is a large Non- Profit Human Service Agency.
The human services business is multifaceted and includes
choices made by government, social and company leaders. A
product is not vended, but instead a service is provided to adults
with disabilities in a residential setting. Many of the individuals
in residential services have severe and mild to moderate
disabilities and problematic behaviors. The workers play an
essential part for adults with problematic behaviors. They
assume an array of tasks which includes giving medications,
helping individuals with do it yourself needs, escorting
individuals to and from a variety of community events.
Challenging behaviors are behaviors that are described as being
difficult or inadequate adaptation by others showing the
behavior or by the person showing the behavior. Challenging
behaviors are those conducts that come into struggles with what
is expected in the person’s community. Problematic behaviors
are behaviors which frequently separate the individual from
their community or are behaviors that can be obstacles to the
person living or remaining in a particular community.
Problematic behaviors differ in seriousness and intensity. What
is decided to be a problematic behavior can vary depending on
what is allowed by the person, a community or by society.
In the organization as programs become more and more
problematic with behaviors worker are experiencing difficulties
of how to effectively manage them. Managers are finding that
staff are not train to handle individuals with problematic
behaviors. Staff are getting frustrated, burned out, and stressed.
Managers are unable to deal with this problem. A system for
emergency trainings need to be in place to go into the residents
and train staff on how to handle individuals with challenging
behaviors in an effective manner. For instance, an individual
does not desire to go to a workshop, the individual might use a
number of behaviors to prevent from going, for example
refusing to get up, playing to be ill, running away or assaulting
3. other individuals and staff, as well as destruction of property.
The emphasis here is on altering change in the residential
behavioral programs using reasonable adaptation methods,
which see managers as change go -between who can evaluate
their environments and other circumstances and then
purposefully motivate change within the organization. One
level of organizational change in the organization that can bring
about a change is developmental change which, includes
changes to current procedures or enhancing a skill, approach, or
process that does not presently meet the organization’s values.
This level of change is the least intimidating to employees and
the easiest to manage, such as routine training, simple problem
solving, and improving communication.
Taking a gradual and incessant approach when taking into count
the emergency training needs, stress, and satisfaction of staff is
important for the organization supporting persons with
problematic behaviors. That is, effectively addressing staff’s
training needs, work-related stress, and job satisfaction
eventually affects the quality of support organizations provide
to the individuals they serve.
When training needs are considered individually, handling crisis
situations, developmental disabilities, and using non-aversive
behavioral interventions are desirable. While the behavioral
management is significant, better awareness of challenging
behaviors and are also important. This will be beneficial to staff
and individuals with behavioral issues in improving staff’ s
knowledge of how behavioral needs can affect individuals and
will enable staff to act more attentively in giving support.
Interestingly, the organization have not focused on this issue.
Actually, residential staff have often received not enough or no
training involving how to deal with behaviors. Staff members
will also be more motivated and dedicated to delivering quality
services, they generally are powerless to skillfully deal with the
treatment needs of the individuals.
It should be encouraged that the organization supporting the
adults with challenging behaviors use a gradual and incessant
4. approach in improving their organizational support systems.
Various management styles have been developed that
reverberate with these standards including Total Quality
Management (TQM) and Continuous Quality Improvement. For
instance, Total Quality Management is a leadership approach
used by consumer-driven community organization which
recognize and attain quality outcomes. To do this, the
organization needs to use systems thinking, incessant
evaluation, and organization-wide contribution.
The organization must purposely motivate staff to deliver more
information on behavioral concerns and to assess the influence
of staff trainings on staff behavior as well as individual
outcomes. Since they need to safeguard that the workers are
sufficiently motivated, because a lack of motivation can
influence staff performance.
Moreover, the organization should consider how to involve staff
and individual in policy development and promote innovation.
This can help decrease a top-down organizational approach
which can lead to immaterial policy while rising the sense of
association staff have with their organization philosophy and
mission. Furthermore, the organization would do good to
involve staff when developing or choosing staff In-services, and
thus enhance the significance of the given information. The
organization could also take into account of developing a
recognition plan to constantly reward employee attempts used
toward collaboratively selected support outcomes.
In essence, organizations who use leadership to involve there in
policy development, support innovation, and who recognize the
efforts of their staff create a community context wherein all
parties can benefit.

Phase 1- Database Design and DDL
I contracted to design and develop a database for CTU
that will store individual and confidential university data. This
database is required to give the back-end engineering to a front-
end web application with an instinctive User/Interface (U/I) to
be utilized by the college HR office. We've chosen to utilize
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 given the way of information to be
put away because it will be more secure, and it additionally
gives a suite of server upkeep apparatuses to be deserted with
the IT Department once the database and web application have
been tried and acknowledged by college partners.
Amid our preparatory gatherings, CTU's necessities
were characterized and enough perused to start making of the
database. The accompanying areas contain the business tenets
and element tables created amid the preparatory gatherings, and
additionally duplicates of all the SQL code used to manufacture
the database and make the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD).
Business Rules & Entity Tables
Business Rules:
· A student has a name, a birth date, and gender.
7. · You must track the date the student started at the university
and his or her current GPA, as well as be able to inactivate him
or her without deleting information.
· For advising purposes, store the student's background/bio
information. This is like a little story.
· An advisor has a name and an e-mail address.
· Students are assigned to one advisor, but one advisor may
service multiple students.
· A class has a class code, name, and description.
· You need to indicate the specific classes a student is
taking/has taken at the university. Track the date the student
started a specific class and the grade earned in that class.
· Each class that a student takes has 4 assignments. Each
assignment is worth 100 points.Entity Tables:

Phase 2 – Security and DML
Carrying on from Phase 1 undertakings of making our college
database, with the four tables of Students, Advisors, Classes,
and Students_Classes, Phase 2 calls for information to be
embedded, erased, and refreshed. The INSERT articulation has
two approaches to enter. The positional embed embeds
requested esteems into another line in a similar request of the
table segments. A named-section embed names the correct
segment where each esteem's embedded into another line. Its
great practice to utilize a named-segment embed, which permits
your SQL code to work if the table's sections are reordered or
another segment is included. You would utilize INSERT
VALUES to determine segment esteems, and INSERT SELECT
to embed columns from another table. Some DBMS don't make
it obligatory to utilize the INTO watchword after the INSERT
articulation; be that as it may, you ought to utilize it for its
transportability abilities. (Fehily, 2008)
15. The UPDATE explanation is utilized to change esteems in a
table's current columns. You should be extremely careful when
utilizing the refresh explanation on the grounds that on the off
chance that you neglect to include the "WHERE" statement, you
will refresh all lines rather than simply your objective columns.
Keep in mind that each refreshed esteem needs to have similar
information sort or be absolutely convertible to an
indistinguishable sort from its segment. (Fehily, 2008)
The DELETE explanation is somewhat more capable in light of
the fact that it’s used to erase a whole line, not just a segment
or sections. You can erase only one or all columns of a table, so
be mindful of the erase explanation moreover. Without the
WHERE proviso, every single table column will be erased.
(Fehily, 2008)
Task 1
The first task was to insert data into four rows of the Classes
table. The following SQL code is what I used to accomplish the
task, followed by the screenshot of the query being executed
successfully.
INSERT INTO [Cameron_CTU].[DBO].[Classes]
( [ClassCode], [ClassName], [Description] )
VALUES
( 'ACCT306', 'Accounting 1', 'This course introduces
accounting concepts and explores the accounting environment.
It covers the basic structure of accounting, how to
maintain accounts, use account balances to prepare financial
statements, and complete the accounting cycle. It
also introduces the concept of internal control and how to
account for assets.' ),
( 'CS362', 'Structured Query Language for Data
Management', 'This course gives complete coverage of SQL,
16. with an emphasis on storage,
retrieval, and manipulation of data.' ),
( 'ENGL115', 'English Composition', 'In this course,

( 'FIN322', 'Investments', 'This course focuses on
investments and investment strategies. Various investment
vehicles such as stocks,
bonds, and commodities are examined. Students
will explore the principles of security analysis and valuation.' )
(Fehily, 2008)
Task 2
The second task was to insert data into three rows of the
Advisors table. The following SQL code is what I used to
accomplish the task, followed by the screenshot of the query
being executed successfully.
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Advisors]
( [FirstName],
[LastName],
[EmailAddr] )
VALUES
( 'Fred', 'Stone', '[email protected]' ),
( 'Bob', 'Gordon', '[email protected]' ),
( 'Jack', 'Simpson', '[email protected]')
(Fehily, 2008)
Task 3
The third task was to insert data into four rows of the Students
table. The following SQL code is what I used to accomplish the
task, followed by the screenshot of the query being executed
successfully.
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Students]
( [FirstName],
17. [LastName],
[BirthDate],
[Gender],
[StartDate],
[GPA],
[IsActive],
[Bio],

( 'Ben', 'Jefferson', '1976-09-25', 'm', '2009-02-21', 1.80, 'No',
'The student has gone on temporary leave to pursue other
opportunities but plans on returning in 1 year.', 3 )
(Fehily, 2008)Task 4
The fourth task was to delete the course named Investments
from the system, and the following SQL code is what I used to
accomplish the task, followed by the screenshot of the query
being executed successfully.
DELETE FROM Classes
WHERE ClassID = 'FIN322';
(Fehily, 2008)
Task 5
The fifth and final task called for changing 2 columns in a row
on the Students table, and the following SQL code is what I
used to accomplish the task, followed by the screenshot of the
query being executed successfully.
UPDATE Students
SET BirthDate = '1982-04-25',
18. GPA = 3.25
WHERE StudentID = '2';
(Fehily, 2008)
Phase 3 - DML (Select) and Procedures
Stage 3 has seven errands that call for recovering
information utilizing the SELECT and FROM Statements. The
SELECT condition calls for which section or segments to show,
and the FROM proviso distinguishes the table or tables the
segments have a place with. You can likewise utilize the AS
statement with a specific end goal to make segment assumed
names, which I'll go over in the last couple of errands. You can
likewise sort columns with the ORDER BY condition, which I'll
additionally hit on in the assignments. The WHERE provision
channels undesirable columns. Without it, you result would be
each column on your questioned table. Some other proclamation
conditions incorporate AND, OR, ORDER BY GROUP BY,
JOIN. There are two sorts of JOIN provisos. They are Implicit
and express. Certain is utilized a considerable measure, and you
may not understand your utilizing it because there is no genuine
JOIN proviso with JOIN in it; its suggested when you're
questioning more than one table. Let’s begin with the
assignments now, might we?
(Fehily, 2008)
The main thing will do is fix my SQL proclamation in the Phase
2 segment, Task 5. I settled it by utilizing StudentID in the
SELECT proviso. Task 1
The first task calls for a list of all active male students
assigned to Advisors 1 or 3.
So, we want to query the Advisor. Advisor ID, FirstName and
LastName columns along with the Students. AdvisorID,
FirstName, LastName, Birthdate, Gender, and GPA columns of
the Students and Advisors tables. We use an implicit JOIN with
the WHERE clause to JOIN the two tables of Student.
19. AdvisorID and Advisor. AdvisorID together. Below, you’ll find
the SQL Statement I used to retrieve the required data, and
screenshot that shows a successful query.
SELECT Gender, IsActive, AdvisorID
FROM Cameron_CTU.dbo.Students
WHERE Gender = 'm'
AND IsActive = 'yes'
AND AdvisorID IN (1,3)
Task 2
The second task asks for a list of students without a
biography. Here’s the SQL Statement I used, and screenshot
that shows a successful query.
Task 3
Task 3 is a very simple statement asking what classes are in the
English Department. This SQL statement involves a wild card
just after the L in the word “English”. The SQL statement and
its associated screenshot are below.
SELECT ClassCode, ClassName
FROM Cameron_CTU.dbo.Classes
WHERE ClassName LIKE 'ENGL%'
Task 4
Task 4 calls for a list of all students and their advisors, and
sorted by Advisors, and a few columns from the Students table
20. SELECT A.AdvisorID, A.FirstName, A.LastName,
S.AdvisorID, S.FirstName, S.LastName,BirthDate, Gender,
GPA
FROM Cameron_CTU.dbo.Students S,
Cameron_CTU.dbo.Advisors A
WHERE S.AdvisorID = A.AdvisorID
ORDER BY A.LastName, S.LastName ASC;
SELECT A.CustomerID, A.FirstName, A.LastName,
S.AdvisorID, S.FirstName, S.LastName,BirthDate, Gender,
GPA
FROM Cameron_CTU.dbo.Students S,
Cameron_CTU.dbo.Advisors A
WHERE S.AdvisorID = A.AdvisorID
ORDER BY A.LastName, S.LastName ASC;
Task 5
The fifth task calls for the number of students born in the 80s.
Below, you’ll find the SQL Statement I used to retrieve the
required data, and screenshot that shows a successful query.
SELECT COUNT (StudentID) as Students_born_in_the_80s
FROM Cameron_CTU.dbo.Students
WHERE BirthDate between '1980-01-1' AND '1989-12-31';
Task 6
Task 6 wanted to know the average GPA score sorted by
men and women. Here is the SQL code and screenshot.
Task 7
Task 7 is looking for all the advisors with only 1 student.
Here’s the SQL code and screenshot.
SELECT A.firstname, A.LastName,
COUNT (A.AdvisorID) AS Total_Active_Students
21. FROM Cameron_CTU.dbo.Students S,
Cameron_CTU.dbo.Advisors A
WHERE A.AdvisorID = S.AdvisorID AND S.IsActive = 'yes'
GROUP BY A.FirstName, A.LastName
HAVING COUNT (S.StudentID) = '1';
Phase 4 – Architecture, Indexes
Stage 4 requires an approach to track classes required for
degrees, and which degree understudies are seeking after. We
were given the errand of making a table for following degrees
with Degree Name and Degree Description. Nonetheless, the
most ideal approach to track the classes required for degrees is
to make a table named "Degrees" with sections marked
'DegreeID', 'Degree Name' and 'Degree Description', and
'Degree Code'. Additionally, adding a segment to the "Classes"
table, named DegreeID will help connect the "Degrees" and
"Classes" tables. After the tables have been made, I'll have to
test the engineering to guarantee it can render the outcomes I'm
searching for in questions. (Fehily, 2008)
Be that as it may, I simply got my review for my Phase 1 IP
with distinguished mistakes. See Phase 1 area for settled
mistakes. The blunders that need rectified are:
- Considerations with respect to my information sorts and field
lengths: FirstName and LastName too long
Fix imperatives for assignments 1 through 4 to guarantee just
0-100 can be information.
- Fix GPA Constraint to guarantee contribution of just 0.00 –
4.00, and allow just 3 add up to digits after decimal.
- Constrain "Sex" to either M or F, and IsActive to either Yes or
No.Step 1: CREATE TABLE [Degrees]
I’ll start by creating the table, ‘Degrees’ with the following
DDL script, followed by a screenshot of the query being
completed successfully, and the table structure that displays the
table columns to include the PRIMARY KEY, ‘DergeeID’.
22. USE [Cameron_CTU]
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Degrees]
(
[DegreeID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY NOT
NULL,
[DegreeName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[DegreeDescription] [varchar](1000) NOT NULL,
[DegreeCode] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
)
Step 2: Re-create ‘Classes’ TABLE to add ‘DegreeID’ column
and INSERT 6 classes
The next step is to delete and re-create the ‘Classes’ table,
and ensure that the ‘DegreeID’ column is included in the
creation, and made a FOREIGN KEY. Also, ensure you re-
insert the original 3 classes, and add 3 new classes into the
‘Classes’ table required by different degrees. And since you’ve
re-created the ‘Classes’ table with ‘DegreeID’ as a FOREIGN
KEY, make sure you add it to the INSERT INTO DDL script or
you’ll receive an error regarding the ‘DegreeID’ column.
Below are the following DDL scripts, followed by a screenshot
of the queries being completed successfully, and the table
23. structure that displays the table columns with ‘DegreeID’ as a
FOREIGN KEY, and the query results of the SELECT * FROM
Classes query.
USE [Cameron_CTU]
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Classes]
(
[ClassID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY NOT
NULL,
[DegreeID] [int] NOT NULL,
[ClassCode] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[ClassName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[Description] [varchar](1000) NOT NULL,
)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Classes]
ADD FOREIGN KEY([DegreeID])
REFERENCES [dbo].[Degrees]([DegreeID])
GO
INSERT INTO [Cameron_CTU].[DBO].[Classes]
24. ( [DegreeID], [ClassCode], [ClassName], [Description] )
VALUES
( '4', 'ACCT306', 'Accounting 1', 'This course
introduces accounting concepts and explores the accounting
environment. It covers the basic structure of accounting, how to
maintain

statements, and complete the accounting cycle. It also
introduces the concept of internal control and how to account

foundation to other concepts, such as Motivation and Emotion
and Interpersonal

'This course covers Computer Security Principles, such as
Policy letters, Remote Logins, and Network Security.' ),
( '5', 'CS126', 'UNIX Fundamentals', 'This course
teaches you thed origins of the UNIX Operating System, and
teaches you how to build directories.' )
25. Step 3: ALTER TABLE [Students]
As the paragraph title implies, the next step is to add the
‘DegreeID’ column to the ‘Students’ table, and make it a
FOREIGN KEY. Below is the following DDL script used to add
the column, and make it a FOREIGN KEY, and the screenshot
of the successful command.
USE [Cameron_CTU]
GO
ALTER TABLE Students
ADD DegreeID [int] NOT NULL
GO
ALTER TABLE Students
ADD FOREIGN KEY (DegreeID)
REFERENCES Degrees(DegreeID)
Step 4: DML script to insert 3 test records in [Degrees]
The next step is to insert degree data into the ‘Degrees’
table. Below is the DML script used, and a screenshot of the
successful command along with an inset of the results for a
SELECT * FROM Degrees statement.
INSERT INTO [Cameron_CTU].[DBO].[Degrees]
( [DegreeCode], [DegreeName], [DegreeDescription] )
VALUES
( 'BSIP', 'Bachelor of Science in Psychology', 'The Bachelor’s
degree in General Psychology is designed to prepare students to

psychological concepts, perspectives, and skills that explain
human behavior. ' ),

Step 5: DML script to INSERT INTO the ‘Students’ table
‘DegreeID’ data
The next step is to add the ‘DegreeID’ to 4 records
applicable to each of the 4 students. Below is the DML script
used to execute the command and a screenshot showing it was
successful.
INSERT INTO [Cameron_CTU].[dbo].[Students]
( [FirstName],
[LastName],
[BirthDate],
[Gender],
[StartDate],
[GPA],
[IsActive],
[Bio],
[AdvisorID],
[DegreeID] )
27. VALUES

'The student has
gone on temporary leave to pursue other opportunities but
plans on returning in 1 year.', 3, 3 )
The last step is to execute a SELECT statement with an
implicit JOIN clause to show what degree each student is
pursuing.
USE Cameron_CTU
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Students.DegreeID,
Degrees.DegreeName
FROM Cameron_CTU.dbo.Students,
Cameron_CTU.dbo.Degrees
