Self-assessment of Communication Skills
In this assignment, you will develop an understanding of how good listening is crucial to effective communication and career success. In addition, you will perform a personal assessment of your communication skills and style.
Listening is an integral part of the communication process. Communication in the healthcare setting is vital. This includes communication between doctors and patients, doctors and nurses, clinicians and administrators, and so on.
Based on your learning, create a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that includes answers to the following questions:
· Which topic of conversation makes you uncomfortable? What is the topic? Do you know why you find it difficult to talk about this topic?
· What do you do when you become uncomfortable during a conversation? Do you withdraw? Do you try to change the topic? Do you speak louder or softer? Do you begin to gesticulate?
· Have you had an occasion to talk to a very persuasive or very aggressive person? If you and this person hold different opinions, can you hold to your position? Are you easily "led" in a conversation?
· Are you flexible in a conversation? If a comment made by someone takes the conversation in an unexpected direction, can you adjust quickly? Can you assimilate new information, reassess your position, and continue the conversation?
· When entering into a conversation, do you attempt to eliminate potential distractions and interruptions?
· Do you consciously avoid having important conversations in high traffic public areas where environmental distractions are likely possible? Why?
· Do you put your cell phone in the silence mode when you are likely to have conversations? Why?
· Do you listen without interruption and sufficiently control the conversation to minimize interruption? Why?
· When engaged in a conversation, do you give your undivided attention to the matters being discussed? Why?
· When engaged in discussion, do you develop reflective questions pertinent to the conversation? Why?
· When engaged in discussion, do you make conscious eye contact? Why?
· When involved in conversations, are you cognizant of body language, both the individual you are conversing with and your own? Why?
· Do you have an understanding of body language gestures and posturing?
In a self-assessment summary, provide a list of your communication strengths and weaknesses. Also, provide a plan to address the weaknesses identified.

Major Assignment 3 (Presentation)
Spring Semester 2020
English 272 T. Stuckert, Instructor
English 272: Introduction to Technical Communication
Major Assignment 3: Presentation
Information – Spring 2020
Important Note: Presentations similar to this one have been developed by students in previous semesters in this course as well as other Intro to Technical Communication courses. Remember that plagiarism on this assignment will not be tolerated. This includes copying text, slides, and/or graphics from another student’s work (from this semester or a previous semester) as well as incorrectly citing, paraphrasing or quoting information.
If you will be completing this as a collaborative assignment, it may be difficult to determine which group member is responsible for presentation content that contains plagiarized information. Because of this, all members of group will suffer the consequences of plagiarism. It is the responsibility of all group members to review the content of this assignment to insure that none of the work has been plagiarized.
Review the information on the University’s Honor Code and Academic Honesty Academic Integrity policies in the Syllabus for more information on this issue.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You are required to develop a PowerPoint presentation for MA3. DO NOT develop a presentation using Prezi or any other slideware (such as Google slides). You will receive zero (0) credit for a presentation that is in a format other than PowerPoint.
Introduction
The purpose of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to apply many of the concepts you have learned throughout the semester. The assignment will involve planning and developing a PowerPoint presentation. You will not deliver or present the PowerPoint to an audience. However, your presentation must be designed so it would be effective if it were presented in both of these situations:
· in-person presentation with the speaker and audience present
and
· digital presentation viewed by the audience on a digital device (without recorded audio narration)
It is very important to remember this when designing your presentation.
Designing the presentation so it will be successful in both situations will impact slide design and content. Remember, explanations of graphics and slide content that would be provided verbally with an in-person presentation must be provided in the slide content for a digital presentation that does not make use of recorded audio narration.
Presentation Goal and Topic
Your goal and topic for the presentation will be the same as your goal and topic for Major Assignment 1: Provide information for a general reader audience with an interest in the subject matter but little o.

Group Work (135 points)
Your group is working for a global organization that handles highly classified intellectual property. In many situations and scenarios, the implementation and operations teams have been creating and setting up environments that violate your vision for security. After discussing the situation with various parties, they all admit they do not fully know or understand what is expected from them as they set up and configure the environment. To solve this situation, your group has been asked to create a network security policy for the organization.
Each group member will choose an element of the policy to design and the group will collaborate on what the overall design and outline should look like and include components from end user behavior and training plan, file and folder access, social engineering safeguards, bring your own device policies, use of external drives on company assets, security hardware, penetration testing, and affiliation of the information security department with law enforcement agencies. Students may either interview someone in the local FBI field office or research the FBI and DHS Web sites related to information sharing programs that the government offers, as this could be advantageous to the organization’s information security program.
To keep the scope narrow, your group should first describe what should be included and what should not be included in the policy (remember that a policy should clearly s.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
