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 ...

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.

Name:
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

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 ...

verse populations and less inclusive health care pro-
grams, cautioned Joanne Lynn, a senior research-
er with the RAND Corporation and director of the
Washington Home Center for Palliative Care Stud-
ies in Washington, D.C. “There isn’t a huge demand
for assisted suicide in good care systems, but there
could be a huge demand in much less adequate care
systems,” Lynn said.
Psychiatrist Linda Ganzini of Oregon Health and
Sciences University agrees that her state’s high-
quality system of palliative care is the factor most
responsible for keeping the number of assisted-sui-
cide cases low. “Your safety net is your end-of-life
care and your hospice care,” she said. “It’s not the
safeguards that you build into the law.”

The story of Terri Schiavo should be disturbing to
all of us. How can it be that medicine, ethics, law,
and family could work so poorly together in meet-
ing the needs of this woman who was left in a per-
sistent vegetative state after having a cardiac ar-
rest? Ms. Schiavo had been sustained by artificial
hydration and nutrition through a feeding tube
for 15 years, and her husband, Michael Schiavo, was
locked in a very public legal struggle with her par-
ents and siblings about whether such treatment
should be continued or stopped. Distortion by inter-
est groups, media hyperbole, and manipulative use
of videotape characterized this case and demon-
strate what can happen when a patient becomes
more a precedent-setting symbol than a unique hu-
man being.
Let us begin with some medical facts. On Feb-
ruary 25, 1990, Terri Schiavo had a cardiac arrest,
triggered by extreme hypokalemia brought on by an
eating disorder. As a result, severe hypoxic–ische-
mic encephalopathy developed, and during the sub-
sequent months, she exhibited no evidence of high-
er cortical function. Computed tomographic scans
of her brain eventually showed severe atrophy of
her cerebral hemispheres, and her electroenceph-
alograms were flat, indicating no functional activ-
ity of the cerebral cortex. Her neurologic examina-
tions were indicative of a persistent vegetative state,
which includes periods of wakefulness alternating
with sleep, some reflexive responses to light and
noise, and some basic gag and swallowing respons-
es, but no signs of emotion, wi ...

CLASSROOM EDITION
Chapter 17 International Trade
This article from the April2004 Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition offers a
broader view of a long-running trend in global trade: the movement of manufacturing
jobs to other countries. In "Two-Way Street," Journal staff reporters Joel Millman
and Norihiko Shirouzu explain that while many manufacturing jobs are indeed
streaming out of the U.S., some foreign companies are eagerly creating new manufac-
turing jobs in the U.S.
Before reading the article, you may want ro look up the following terms: proxim-
ity, incentives, rhetoric, value chain.
uBut free trade works both
ways, and just as U.S.
companies look overseas
for workers, a lot of foreign
companies have been
expanding their operations
in the U.S. and creating new
jobs for Americans. The
attractions for them are better
business conditions, proxim-
ity to the ever-expanding U.S.
consumer market, and the
promise of incentives that
many U.S. communities offer
to attract new investment.''
Free trade has hammered a lot of U.S. towns, making it easier for companies to send manu-facturing jobs south of
the border or overseas, and
idling hundreds of American
factories and tens of thousands
of workers.
But free trade works both
ways, and just as U.S. compa-
nies look overseas for workers,
a lot of foreign companies have
been expanding their opera-
tions in the U.S. and creating
new jobs for Americans. The
attractions for them are better
business conditions, proximity
to the ever-expanding U.S.
consumer market, and the
promise of incentives that
many U.S. communities offer
to attract new investment.
In 1999, for example,
Gruma, Mexico's largest pro-
ducer of corn flour and tor-
tillas, wanted to extend its
sa les territory in the eastern
U.S. The manufacturer found
that the quickest way was to
buy a rival, Barnes Foods, ven-
dor of the regional Pepito
brand in Goldsboro, N .C ..
After closing the $12 million
transaction, Gruma found something else: a com-
munity eager to offer incentives to persuade the
Mexican company to invest
millions more.
Within a year, Gruma
delighted Goldsboro by agree-
ing to buy an empty warehouse
the city owned outside rown.
The building had sat for four
years, after officials spent more
than $1 million trying to mar-
ket it as parr of an industrial
park. By promising to invest
$13 million locally, and add
100 jobs to Barnes's payroll,
Gruma got $200,000 chopped
off the building's sale price and
another $200,000 in grants to
defray infrastructure costs.
Gruma also received job-cre-
ation tax credits to offset
almost $200,000 annually
from its state corporate income
tax. Ultimately, the Mexican
company well exceeded the
n urn ber of new hires it
promised, tripling its Golds-
boro work force to nearly 200. ...

Section I.Multiple Choice/True and False
1.
One of the central tenets of homeopathy is the (unfounded) assertion that water retains a "memory" of substances dissolved in it, even when the solution becomes so weak that no trace of the original substance is present. However, if we accept this hypothesis, then any quantity of tap water would have already acquired all the beneficial chemicals, and all the harmful ones too. This . . . scenario weakens the hypothesis of water memory.
This refutation is a(n)
a. reduction to the absurd
b. counterexample
c. appeal to countervailing evidence
d. post hoc

Nadya’shelpfultipsonwritinginScienceMicrobiology-.docx
Nadya’s helpful tips on writing in Science/Microbiology
-Primary, peer-reviewed sources come from scientific journals and often have
interesting background information relevant to the organism of interest. This is to
tell the reader why it is important. If you want lots of background information,
scientists often write review articles that go through the same peer-review as
papers on experiments on focusing on consolidating what the current and accepted
work is on the topic.
- Bacteria is the plural form of bacterium. If you are uncertain of its usage, try
replacing the noun with a word that you are a little more comfortable with such as
dog/dogs. Same goes for data being the plural of datum.
-When writing the scientific name of an organism, you will always write it out in
italics with the genus capitalized and the species name lower case (e.g. Bacillus
cereus). It is also acceptable that after you introduce a scientific name fully, to
abbreviate the genus to the first or second letter of the genus. For example:
“Bacillus thuringiensis is a bacterium often associated with soil microbial biomes…
B. thuringiensis was discovered to have entomopathogenic qualities in an
assortment of insect orders while being highly specific in its pathogenicity to only
insects.”
-Proofreading is your friend. It may feel like more work but having something that
is proofread goes a long way to helping the reader understand what you are saying
in a clear and concise way rather than leaving the reader feeling frustrated and
confused. While I don’t really grade on grammar and punctuation, if it is bad, it will
cost points on the assignment.
-Technology is helpful but communication is vital. While we use a lot of new
technology to help us be more productive in work and school, communication has
never been more vital. That being said, if you have a problem turning in your paper
on time due to technological difficulties, you need to communicate that to me as
soon as possible to avoid a late penalty. You have been warned.
-Lastly, while format doesn’t matter to me (every scientific journal or grant source
has their own format), having the right information in your citations is important. If
I can’t find your source when I’m checking them, how am I supposed to verify what
was said in your source? Common important items to include: author names, article
title, journal name, issue and volume, and url (if collected from the web). Web of
knowledge/science is a great way to search journal articles if on campus as our
school has a subscription to most journals and all of them are moving to electronic
copies rather than paper.
If you have questions on any of these tips, don’t hesitate to ask me!

4 - PRELIMINARY DATA SCREENING
4.1 Introduction: Problems in Real Data
Real datasets often contain errors, inconsistencies in responses or measurements, outliers, and missing values. Researchers should conduct thorough preliminary data screening to identify and remedy potential problems with their data prior to running the data analyses that are of primary interest. Analyses based on a dataset that contains errors, or data that seriously violate assumptions that are required for the analysis, can yield misleading results.
Some of the potential problems with data are as follows: errors in data coding and data entry, inconsistent responses, missing values, extreme outliers, nonnormal distribution shapes, within-group sample sizes that are too small for the intended analysis, and nonlinear relations between quantitative variables. Problems with data should be identified and remedied (as adequately as possible) prior to analysis. A research report should include a summary of problems detected in the data and any remedies that were employed (such as deletion of outliers or data transformations) to address these problems.
4.2 Quality Control During Data Collection
There are many different possible methods of data collection. A psychologist may collect data on personality or attitudes by asking participants to answer questions on a questionnaire. A medical researcher may use a computer-controlled blood pressure monitor to assess systolic blood pressure (SBP) or other physiological responses. A researcher may record observations of animal behavior. Physical measurements (such as height or weight) may be taken. Most methods of data collection are susceptible to recording errors or artifacts, and researchers need to know what kinds of errors are likely to occur.
For example, researchers who use self-report data to do research on personality or attitudes need to be aware of common problems with this type of data. Participants may distort their answers because of social desirability bias; they may misunderstand questions; they may not remember the events that they are asked to report about; they may deliberately try to “fake good” or “fake bad”; they may even make random responses without reading the questions. A participant may accidentally skip a question on a survey and, subsequently, use the wrong lines on the answer sheet to enter each response; for example, the response to Question 4 may be filled in as Item 3 on the answer sheet, the response to Question 5 may be filled in as Item 4, and so forth. In addition, research assistants have been known to f ...

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.

Re� ecting on Practice: using
learning journals in higher and
continuing education
ARTHUR M. LANGER
Teachers College, Columbia University in the City of New York, 203 Lewisohn Hall,
Mail Code 4114, 2970 Broadway, New York, NY 10027, USA
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to report on the use of learning journals as vehicles for
encouraging critical re� ection among non-traditional students and to compare variances with
studies among traditional students. An objective of the study was to understand how adult
students in a ‘technical’ computer class responded to the requirement for learning journals.
Qualitative research focused on whether learning journals prove to be an effective teaching tool
in science-based, adult learning. The study was conducted at Columbia University’s Computer
Technology programme in Continuing Education. Results suggest that non-traditional students
are more skeptical than traditional students about using learning journals and more likely to use
them as study tools. An implication of this study is that student perception and skepticism of the
assignment can affect the objective of developing re� ective thinking. This implication stresses the
need to account for student perception in studies on learning journals and critical re� ection.
Introduction
The use of learning journals as a method for engaging traditional students in critical
re� ection has been widely discussed in the literature. However, their use in assisting
adult non-traditional students, particularly those who are engaged in profession-ori-
entated educational programmes of continuing higher education has received com-
paratively little attention. This paper focuses on the question of how the use of
journals impacted the learning process of adult students of the latter category and
how this impact compared to that of students of the former category. Speci� cally,
the study focused on students attending a computer technology class. The class,
Computer Architecture, is a required course in an 18-month computer technology
certi� cation programme at Columbia University. The courses in this certi� cation
programme are designed for adult students interested in changing their careers. The
curriculum focuses on real-world topics that are essential to the effective technology
practitioner in the workplace. The instructor for the course required the submission
of a weekly learning journal from each student during the 15-week course. Students
were asked to be re� ective about new career opportunities and how to apply
technology to the workplace.

On page 222 of Chapter 8 in the textbook, Friedman et al. states, “Social class along with
cultural background, exerts the greatest overall influence on family life influencing family values
and priorities, family behavioral patterns, socialization practices, family role expectations, and
world experiences.”
In your professional or personal experiences, describe one situation in which you have seen
how a family’s culture and/or social class have had a major impact on family behavioral
patterns. This may be related to illness prevention (Stage 1 Health Promotion) and/or
compliance with a treatment plan prescribed by the healthcare provider (Stage 5 Acute
Response to Illness).

Stem cells and tissue engineering
Differences Between Embryonic and Adult Stem Cells
Embryonic stem cells can become ALL cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells were originally thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. However, evidence suggests that adult stem cell plasticity (see below) does indeed exist, increasing the number of cell types a given adult stem cell can become.
Large numbers of embryonic stem cells can be grown in culture relatively easily, while adult stem cells are rare in mature tissues and methods for expanding their numbers in cell culture are improving, but have not yet been optimized.
Plasticity: Defined as the ability of stem cells from one adult tissue to generate the differentiated cell types of another tissue.
Scaffold: The scaffold or three-dimensional (3-D) construct provides the necessary support for cells to proliferate and maintain their function. Ideally a scaffold should have the following characteristics:
• Three- dimensional and highly porous with an interconnected pore network for cell growth and flow transport of nutrients and metabolic waste
• Biocompatibile and Bioresorbable with a controllable degradation and reabsorption rate to match cell/tissue growth in vitro and/or in vivo.
• Suitable surface chemistry for cell attachment proliferation and differentiation
• Mechanical properties to match those of the tissues at the site of implantation
Instructions: Read Chapter 11 and review the slides to answer the following questions. Additionally, a paper listed on blackboard can provide for further assistance.
1. Name two sources of stem cells, either embryonic stem cells or adult stem cells.
2. What is a tissue engineering scaffold?
3. Give three examples of materials that can be used as a scaffold.
4. Name two types of polynucleotides found in our cells.
The human genetic information is stored in _________
5. What is pluripotency?
6. Name three polymers that are used in medicine.
7. Name two important considerations for an implantable material.

Scaffolds for
stem cells
Today, most people know at least something about stem cells. Embryonic
stem cells enjoy regular mentions in news programs and magazines,
probably because of the controversial way in which they are generated
but also because of their huge potential in medicine. Here we distinguish
between and define types of stem cells, discuss techniques used so far
to create various cells and tissues from stem cells, and discuss how
three-dimensional supports and stem cells have been and should be used
to encourage the development of functional replacement tissue.

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 ...

verse populations and less inclusive health care pro-
grams, cautioned Joanne Lynn, a senior research-
er with the RAND Corporation and director of the
Washington Home Center for Palliative Care Stud-
ies in Washington, D.C. “There isn’t a huge demand
for assisted suicide in good care systems, but there
could be a huge demand in much less adequate care
systems,” Lynn said.
Psychiatrist Linda Ganzini of Oregon Health and
Sciences University agrees that her state’s high-
quality system of palliative care is the factor most
responsible for keeping the number of assisted-sui-
cide cases low. “Your safety net is your end-of-life
care and your hospice care,” she said. “It’s not the
safeguards that you build into the law.”

The story of Terri Schiavo should be disturbing to
all of us. How can it be that medicine, ethics, law,
and family could work so poorly together in meet-
ing the needs of this woman who was left in a per-
sistent vegetative state after having a cardiac ar-
rest? Ms. Schiavo had been sustained by artificial
hydration and nutrition through a feeding tube
for 15 years, and her husband, Michael Schiavo, was
locked in a very public legal struggle with her par-
ents and siblings about whether such treatment
should be continued or stopped. Distortion by inter-
est groups, media hyperbole, and manipulative use
of videotape characterized this case and demon-
strate what can happen when a patient becomes
more a precedent-setting symbol than a unique hu-
man being.
Let us begin with some medical facts. On Feb-
ruary 25, 1990, Terri Schiavo had a cardiac arrest,
triggered by extreme hypokalemia brought on by an
eating disorder. As a result, severe hypoxic–ische-
mic encephalopathy developed, and during the sub-
sequent months, she exhibited no evidence of high-
er cortical function. Computed tomographic scans
of her brain eventually showed severe atrophy of
her cerebral hemispheres, and her electroenceph-
alograms were flat, indicating no functional activ-
ity of the cerebral cortex. Her neurologic examina-
tions were indicative of a persistent vegetative state,
which includes periods of wakefulness alternating
with sleep, some reflexive responses to light and
noise, and some basic gag and swallowing respons-
es, but no signs of emotion, wi ...

CLASSROOM EDITION
Chapter 17 International Trade
This article from the April2004 Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition offers a
broader view of a long-running trend in global trade: the movement of manufacturing
jobs to other countries. In "Two-Way Street," Journal staff reporters Joel Millman
and Norihiko Shirouzu explain that while many manufacturing jobs are indeed
streaming out of the U.S., some foreign companies are eagerly creating new manufac-
turing jobs in the U.S.
Before reading the article, you may want ro look up the following terms: proxim-
ity, incentives, rhetoric, value chain.
uBut free trade works both
ways, and just as U.S.
companies look overseas
for workers, a lot of foreign
companies have been
expanding their operations
in the U.S. and creating new
jobs for Americans. The
attractions for them are better
business conditions, proxim-
ity to the ever-expanding U.S.
consumer market, and the
promise of incentives that
many U.S. communities offer
to attract new investment.''
Free trade has hammered a lot of U.S. towns, making it easier for companies to send manu-facturing jobs south of
the border or overseas, and
idling hundreds of American
factories and tens of thousands
of workers.
But free trade works both
ways, and just as U.S. compa-
nies look overseas for workers,
a lot of foreign companies have
been expanding their opera-
tions in the U.S. and creating
new jobs for Americans. The
attractions for them are better
business conditions, proximity
to the ever-expanding U.S.
consumer market, and the
promise of incentives that
many U.S. communities offer
to attract new investment.
In 1999, for example,
Gruma, Mexico's largest pro-
ducer of corn flour and tor-
tillas, wanted to extend its
sa les territory in the eastern
U.S. The manufacturer found
that the quickest way was to
buy a rival, Barnes Foods, ven-
dor of the regional Pepito
brand in Goldsboro, N .C ..
After closing the $12 million
transaction, Gruma found something else: a com-
munity eager to offer incentives to persuade the
Mexican company to invest
millions more.
Within a year, Gruma
delighted Goldsboro by agree-
ing to buy an empty warehouse
the city owned outside rown.
The building had sat for four
years, after officials spent more
than $1 million trying to mar-
ket it as parr of an industrial
park. By promising to invest
$13 million locally, and add
100 jobs to Barnes's payroll,
Gruma got $200,000 chopped
off the building's sale price and
another $200,000 in grants to
defray infrastructure costs.
Gruma also received job-cre-
ation tax credits to offset

1.
One of the central tenets of homeopathy is the (unfounded) assertion that water retains a "memory" of substances dissolved in it, even when the solution becomes so weak that no trace of the original substance is present. However, if we accept this hypothesis, then any quantity of tap water would have already acquired all the beneficial chemicals, and all the harmful ones too. This . . . scenario weakens the hypothesis of water memory.
This refutation is a(n)
a. reduction to the absurd
b. counterexample

Nadya’shelpfultipsonwritinginScienceMicrobiology-.docx
Nadya’s helpful tips on writing in Science/Microbiology
-Primary, peer-reviewed sources come from scientific journals and often have
interesting background information relevant to the organism of interest. This is to
tell the reader why it is important. If you want lots of background information,
scientists often write review articles that go through the same peer-review as
papers on experiments on focusing on consolidating what the current and accepted
work is on the topic.
- Bacteria is the plural form of bacterium. If you are uncertain of its usage, try
replacing the noun with a word that you are a little more comfortable with such as
dog/dogs. Same goes for data being the plural of datum.
-When writing the scientific name of an organism, you will always write it out in
italics with the genus capitalized and the species name lower case (e.g. Bacillus
cereus). It is also acceptable that after you introduce a scientific name fully, to
abbreviate the genus to the first or second letter of the genus. For example:
“Bacillus thuringiensis is a bacterium often associated with soil microbial biomes…
B. thuringiensis was discovered to have entomopathogenic qualities in an
assortment of insect orders while being highly specific in its pathogenicity to only
insects.”
-Proofreading is your friend. It may feel like more work but having something that
is proofread goes a long way to helping the reader understand what you are saying
in a clear and concise way rather than leaving the reader feeling frustrated and
confused. While I don’t really grade on grammar and punctuation, if it is bad, it will
cost points on the assignment.
-Technology is helpful but communication is vital. While we use a lot of new
technology to help us be more productive in work and school, communication has
never been more vital. That being said, if you have a problem turning in your paper
on time due to technological difficulties, you need to communicate that to me as
soon as possible to avoid a late penalty. You have been warned.
-Lastly, while format doesn’t matter to me (every scientific journal or grant source
has their own format), having the right information in your citations is important. If
I can’t find your source when I’m checking them, how am I supposed to verify what
was said in your source? Common important items to include: author names, article
title, journal name, issue and volume, and url (if collected from the web). Web of
knowledge/science is a great way to search journal articles if on campus as our
school has a subscription to most journals and all of them are moving to electronic
copies rather than paper.
If you have questions on any of these tips, don’t hesitate to ask me!

4 - PRELIMINARY DATA SCREENING
4.1 Introduction: Problems in Real Data
Real datasets often contain errors, inconsistencies in responses or measurements, outliers, and missing values. Researchers should conduct thorough preliminary data screening to identify and remedy potential problems with their data prior to running the data analyses that are of primary interest. Analyses based on a dataset that contains errors, or data that seriously violate assumptions that are required for the analysis, can yield misleading results.
Some of the potential problems with data are as follows: errors in data coding and data entry, inconsistent responses, missing values, extreme outliers, nonnormal distribution shapes, within-group sample sizes that are too small for the intended analysis, and nonlinear relations between quantitative variables. Problems with data should be identified and remedied (as adequately as possible) prior to analysis. A research report should include a summary of problems detected in the data and any remedies that were employed (such as deletion of outliers or data transformations) to address these problems.
4.2 Quality Control During Data Collection
There are many different possible methods of data collection. A psychologist may collect data on personality or attitudes by asking participants to answer questions on a questionnaire. A medical researcher may use a computer-controlled blood pressure monitor to assess systolic blood pressure (SBP) or other physiological responses. A researcher may record observations of animal behavior. Physical measurements (such as height or weight) may be taken. Most methods of data collection are susceptible to recording errors or artifacts, and researchers need to know what kinds of errors are likely to occur.
For example, researchers who use self-report data to do research on personality or attitudes need to be aware of common problems with this type of data. Participants may distort their answers because of social desirability bias; they may misunderstand questions; they may not remember the events that they are asked to report about; they may deliberately try to “fake good” or “fake bad”; they may even make random responses without reading the questions. A participant may accidentally skip a question on a survey and, subsequently, use the wrong lines on the answer sheet to enter each response; for example, the response to Question 4 may be filled in as Item 3 on the answer sheet, the response to Question 5 may be filled in as Item 4, and so forth. In addition, research assistants have been known to f ...

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.

Re� ecting on Practice: using
learning journals in higher and
continuing education
ARTHUR M. LANGER
Teachers College, Columbia University in the City of New York, 203 Lewisohn Hall,
Mail Code 4114, 2970 Broadway, New York, NY 10027, USA
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to report on the use of learning journals as vehicles for
encouraging critical re� ection among non-traditional students and to compare variances with
studies among traditional students. An objective of the study was to understand how adult
students in a ‘technical’ computer class responded to the requirement for learning journals.
Qualitative research focused on whether learning journals prove to be an effective teaching tool
in science-based, adult learning. The study was conducted at Columbia University’s Computer
Technology programme in Continuing Education. Results suggest that non-traditional students
are more skeptical than traditional students about using learning journals and more likely to use
them as study tools. An implication of this study is that student perception and skepticism of the
assignment can affect the objective of developing re� ective thinking. This implication stresses the
need to account for student perception in studies on learning journals and critical re� ection.
Introduction
The use of learning journals as a method for engaging traditional students in critical
re� ection has been widely discussed in the literature. However, their use in assisting
adult non-traditional students, particularly those who are engaged in profession-ori-
entated educational programmes of continuing higher education has received com-
paratively little attention. This paper focuses on the question of how the use of
journals impacted the learning process of adult students of the latter category and
how this impact compared to that of students of the former category. Speci� cally,
the study focused on students attending a computer technology class. The class,
Computer Architecture, is a required course in an 18-month computer technology
certi� cation programme at Columbia University. The courses in this certi� cation
programme are designed for adult students interested in changing their careers. The
curriculum focuses on real-world topics that are essential to the effective technology
practitioner in the workplace. The instructor for the course required the submission
of a weekly learning journal from each student during the 15-week course. Students
were asked to be re� ective about new career opportunities and how to apply
technology to the workplace.

Bionic Human: Chapter 11 Assignment
Stem cells and tissue engineering
Differences Between Embryonic and Adult Stem Cells
Embryonic stem cells can become ALL cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells were originally thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. However, evidence suggests that adult stem cell plasticity (see below) does indeed exist, increasing the number of cell types a given adult stem cell can become.
Large numbers of embryonic stem cells can be grown in culture relatively easily, while adult stem cells are rare in mature tissues and methods for expanding their numbers in cell culture are improving, but have not yet been optimized.
Plasticity: Defined as the ability of stem cells from one adult tissue to generate the differentiated cell types of another tissue.
Scaffold: The scaffold or three-dimensional (3-D) construct provides the necessary support for cells to proliferate and maintain their function. Ideally a scaffold should have the following characteristics:
• Three- dimensional and highly porous with an interconnected pore network for cell growth and flow transport of nutrients and metabolic waste
• Biocompatibile and Bioresorbable with a controllable degradation and reabsorption rate to match cell/tissue growth in vitro and/or in vivo.
• Suitable surface chemistry for cell attachment proliferation and differentiation
• Mechanical properties to match those of the tissues at the site of implantation
Instructions: Read Chapter 11 and review the slides to answer the following questions. Additionally, a paper listed on blackboard can provide for further assistance.
1. Name two sources of stem cells, either embryonic stem cells or adult stem cells.
2. What is a tissue engineering scaffold?
3. Give three examples of materials that can be used as a scaffold.
4. Name two types of polynucleotides found in our cells.
The human genetic information is stored in _________
5. What is pluripotency?
6. Name three polymers that are used in medicine.
7. Name two important considerations for an implantable material.

Scaffolds for
stem cells
Today, most people know at least something about stem cells. Embryonic
stem cells enjoy regular mentions in news programs and magazines,
probably because of the controversial way in which they are generated
but also because of their huge potential in medicine. Here we distinguish
between and define types of stem cells, discuss techniques used so far
to create various cells and tissues from stem cells, and discuss how
three-dimensional supports and stem cells have been and should be used
to encourage the development of functional replacement tissue.

Thesis Statement for students diagnonsed withADHD.ppt
Presentation required for the master in Education.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
