Before you begin work on this assignment, be sure you have read the Case Study on Maryland Technology Consultants (MTC). MTC is a fictional company created for IFSM 300’s Case Study. It is also recommended that you review the additional Stages (2, 3 and 4) as well as the vendor brochure provided for Stage 4. This will help you understand the overall report and potential solution.
Overview
As a business analyst in the Chief Information Officer’s (CIO's) department of Maryland Technology Consulting (MTC), you have been assigned to conduct an analysis, develop a set of system requirements, evaluate a proposed solution, and develop an implementation plan for an IT solution (applicant tracking or hiring system) to improve the hiring process for MTC. This work will be completed in four stages, and each of these four stages will focus on one section of an overall Business Analysis and System Recommendation (BA&SR) report to be delivered to the CIO.
Section I. Strategic Use of Technology (Stage 1) - The first step is to look at the organization and explain how an IT system could be used to support MTC's strategies and objectives and support its decision-making processes.
Section II. Process Analysis (Stage 2) – Next you will evaluate current processes and workflow and explain how MTC can use IT to improve its processes and workflow.

ECO 500 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an economic analysis recommendation paper.
This course is an integral part of your journey toward a better understanding of the economy and of how the business you work for fits into it. The manager who
excels at his or her job is able to make the connection between general theory and specific application. Your final project provides you with the opportunity to
practice and develop these skills. In this course, you will learn about economic principles—supply and demand, production and costs, market structures—and see
how they apply to real-world situations. You will also learn about economic forecasting and tools used in strategic decision making. Being able to see the big
picture and having the skills of economic analysis will help you become more effective as a manager. Although there are several general principles that hold in
most organizations, such as trade-offs in the use of resources and customer budget constraints, the circumstances in which these principles apply are unique.
In this project, you will take on the role of an economic analyst at a company. An executive at the company has asked you to research an issue that affects your
organization and recommend a solution. Choose from one of the case studies listed below and research a given issue that affects the organization, determine the
issue’s relationship to economics, and report on your analysis and recommendation. This assessment requires you to understand the big-picture context of a
question, narrow down to a specific statement or set of statements to research, and present your findings.
You may encounter additional companies\case studies within your ECO 500 Case Study CoursePack. However, please disregard them and ONLY focus on the
following:
- American Airlines
- Microsoft Corporation
- Heinz Corporation
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

ACC 675 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a case study analysis. You will use the article The SOX Compliance Journey at Trinity Industries as a resource for
this project.
Companies today must ensure that operational processes are performing efficiently and effectively in compliance with current regulations. Accountants must
adhere to domestic standards set by organizations—such as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Financial Accounting and Standards
Board—as well as global standards, such as the International Financial Reporting Standards, requiring appropriate implementation and assessment of internal
controls. Whether developing appropriate processes internally or preparing substantive testing, external auditors must be able to quickly and completely assess
the financial processes, determine weaknesses, and provide recommendations for improvement.
The ability to transcribe formalized or narrative processes into functional workflows allows an auditor to identify potential gaps in accounting systems. These
gaps can result in material audit findings necessitating changes in the company’s control structure.
However, it is not only the process and flow of transactions that requires scrutiny. Companies evolve into sophisticated, computerized systems that require an in-
depth understanding of administrative rights, electronic process flows, and end user reporting.
In this case study, you will apply all of these skills in developing recommendations for Trinity Industries. Though the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX)
promulgated many internal control structure changes, the company is unsure as to whether they are applying too few or too many internal controls. Unnecessary
controls place added burden on staff and cost the company thousands of dollars in monitoring and maintenance.
Your role will be to provide an overview of the company and its market industry. From this you will formulate your processes into a comprehensive flowchart that
will be used to identify gaps in processes and other threats to potential audit weaknesses.
The project is divided into four milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, Six, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Transcribe formalized or verbal financial processes into both narrative and process flowcharts for identifying gaps resulting in potential material
weaknesses
Summarize advantages and disadvantages of various accounting electronic data processing systems with respect to a specific industry’s needs

In preparation for your course project, prepare the preliminary strategy audit using the tools and framework you have focused on so far including the following:
Analysis of the company value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage
External environmental scan/five forces analysis
Identify the most important (5–7) strategic issues facing the organization or business unit.
You may modify the strategic issues in your final report based on the additional analysis you will conduct in the next module as well as the feedback you receive on this paper from your instructor.
Keep in mind that it is important to look at the strategic issue(s) from more than just one perspective in the business unit or company—speak to or research the issue from more than one angle to offer a 360-degree approach that does not cause more problems or issues.
Strategic issues arise from a mismatch between internal capabilities and external trends such that important opportunities are not being pursued or significant external threats are not being addressed under the current strategy.
Include a preliminary set of recommended tactics for improving your company’s strategic alignment and operating performance.
You may modify these recommendations in your final report based on the additional analysis you will conduct in the next module as well as the feedback you receive on this paper from your instructor.
Keep in mind that recommendations can include, but are not limited to, tactics in marketing, branding, alliances, mergers and acquisitions, integration, product development, diversification or divestiture, and globalization. If you recommend your company to go global, you must include a supply chain analysis and an analysis of your firm’s global capabilities.

Page 2 of 3IT Budget
This is a two-part assignment. For this assignment, you are the Chief Information Officer, or CIO, of Reynolds Tool & Die. To complete this assignment, you will:
1. Create a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet proposing the Reynolds Tool & Die company’s IT operations’ annual budget, including maintenance, licensing, and any proposed new investments, such as hardware, software, cloud services, and/or outsourcing.
2. Create a 1- to 2-page executive summary defending your budget choices in terms of innovation and efficiency.
Part 1: Spreadsheet
The example spreadsheet that begins on page 2 is a rough suggestion of an annual, itemized budget. You will create your budget in Microsoft Excel. Your budget headings may vary, but your budget needs to be as specific as possible. Within each category, you should include purchases for the IT strategic plan. For example, if, as the CIO, you are contemplating moving applications to a cloud solution, your budget needs to reflect that process. If you are implementing or expanding VMWare as a virtualization solution, your budget needs to reflect those purchases.
The actual numbers can be approximate. A little research can point you in the right direction. For example, desktops run about $200-$300. You can use approximate figures for items such as licenses, maintenance agreements, servers, etc. Just make sure you have some justification (i.e., references) for the numbers you use.
Part 2: Executive Summary
Your executive summary needs to explain your budget. Possible headings include:
I. Predictable Annual Expenditures
Simply put, fixed operational expenditures keep the lights on. They are mainly hardware and software maintenance items, licensing, etc. These are expected costs of doing IT business. If, however, you are purchasing more hardware or software that will require additional annual maintenance and license agreements, you’ll need to defend those purchases and the annual expenditures that will remain for the company.
II. New Purchases
Any new purchases you recommend need to be justified. Why are you purchasing them? What benefit do you expect from the purchases? You’ll need to justify the purchases relative to the previous week’s assignments—Reynolds’ business situation and goals. For example, how will a new investment in hardware, software, or services achieve a competitive advantage for the company? What do you think the company needs to purchase to achieve its expansion goals? How much will outsourcing cost?
III. Special Projects and Long-term Strategic IT Investments
As CIO, you need to look at technologies in the context of long-range strategic planning. Think of this section as your wish list. The investments in this category may not help the organization achieve its short-range goals, but they’re considered a long-term investment in innovation to remain competitive. For example, a manufacturing facility may consider a ...

In preparation for your course project, prepare the preliminary strategy audit using the tools and framework you have focused on so far including the following:
Analysis of the company value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage
External environmental scan/five forces analysis
Identify the most important (5–7) strategic issues facing the organization or business unit.
You may modify the strategic issues in your final report based on the additional analysis you will conduct in the next module as well as the feedback you receive on this paper from your instructor.
Keep in mind that it is important to look at the strategic issue(s) from more than just one perspective in the business unit or company—speak to or research the issue from more than one angle to offer a 360-degree approach that does not cause more problems or issues.
Strategic issues arise from a mismatch between internal capabilities and external trends such that important opportunities are not being pursued or significant external threats are not being addressed under the current strategy.
Include a preliminary set of recommended tactics for improving your company’s strategic alignment and operating performance.
You may modify these recommendations in your final report based on the additional analysis you will conduct in the next module as well as the feedback you receive on this paper from your instructor.
Keep in mind that recommendations can include, but are not limited to, tactics in marketing, branding, alliances, mergers and acquisitions, integration, product development, diversification or divestiture, and globalization. If you recommend your company to go global, you must include a supply chain analysis and an analysis of your firm’s global capabilities.

Page 2 of 3IT Budget
This is a two-part assignment. For this assignment, you are the Chief Information Officer, or CIO, of Reynolds Tool & Die. To complete this assignment, you will:
1. Create a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet proposing the Reynolds Tool & Die company’s IT operations’ annual budget, including maintenance, licensing, and any proposed new investments, such as hardware, software, cloud services, and/or outsourcing.
2. Create a 1- to 2-page executive summary defending your budget choices in terms of innovation and efficiency.
Part 1: Spreadsheet
The example spreadsheet that begins on page 2 is a rough suggestion of an annual, itemized budget. You will create your budget in Microsoft Excel. Your budget headings may vary, but your budget needs to be as specific as possible. Within each category, you should include purchases for the IT strategic plan. For example, if, as the CIO, you are contemplating moving applications to a cloud solution, your budget needs to reflect that process. If you are implementing or expanding VMWare as a virtualization solution, your budget needs to reflect those purchases.
The actual numbers can be approximate. A little research can point you in the right direction. For example, desktops run about $200-$300. You can use approximate figures for items such as licenses, maintenance agreements, servers, etc. Just make sure you have some justification (i.e., references) for the numbers you use.
Part 2: Executive Summary
Your executive summary needs to explain your budget. Possible headings include:
I. Predictable Annual Expenditures
Simply put, fixed operational expenditures keep the lights on. They are mainly hardware and software maintenance items, licensing, etc. These are expected costs of doing IT business. If, however, you are purchasing more hardware or software that will require additional annual maintenance and license agreements, you’ll need to defend those purchases and the annual expenditures that will remain for the company.
II. New Purchases
Any new purchases you recommend need to be justified. Why are you purchasing them? What benefit do you expect from the purchases? You’ll need to justify the purchases relative to the previous week’s assignments—Reynolds’ business situation and goals. For example, how will a new investment in hardware, software, or services achieve a competitive advantage for the company? What do you think the company needs to purchase to achieve its expansion goals? How much will outsourcing cost?
III. Special Projects and Long-term Strategic IT Investments
As CIO, you need to look at technologies in the context of long-range strategic planning. Think of this section as your wish list. The investments in this category may not help the organization achieve its short-range goals, but they’re considered a long-term investment in innovation to remain competitive. For example, a manufacturing facility may consider a ...

Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a quantitative analysis with a memo to management.
Classifying a company’s costs allows for an in-depth analysis of the impact that changes in output have on revenues, costs, and net income or net loss. A cost-
volume-profit (CVP) analysis will be completed in order to determine the breakeven point. Relevant costs will be used to prepare a flexible budget. Additionally,
an appropriate costing system should be selected and the choice should be substantiated with reasonable rationale. Finally, a memo should be prepared for
management that summarizes the results of the quantitative analysis and makes recommendations for an optimal costing system to be ethically used by key
decision makers.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The quantitative analysis with a memo to management will be submitted in
Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Utilize cost behavior and cost analysis to assist decision makers in planning and adding value to the business
Prepare a flexible budget for supporting informed managerial decision making
Interpret variances for determining the optimal costing system to fit an organization’s internal accounting needs
Interpret the role of ethics in cost accounting for determining its impact on decision making
Prompt
In this assignment, multiple analyses will be conducted in order to obtain a company’s financial information specific to company costs.
MDE manufactures outdoor garden items such as lawn ornaments and bird feeders. MDE uses a standard costing system to set standards for direct materials,
labor, and overhead costs. MDE reviews and revises standards as necessary. Recently, budget variances for bird feeders have caused some concern. You, the
company’s cost accountant, have been asked to examine the numbers for the product, explain the variances, and suggest ways to improve performance.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
You will begin by using the MDE Manufacturing Budget (Table I) to analyze costs, contribution margin, and breakeven point for the bird feeder division. You will
then analyze the actual costs and complete a cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis to determine how many bird feeders must be sold at the current cost and sales
price level to earn a $10,000 profit and how much the sales price would have to increase to earn a $10,000 profit at the same cost and sales volume level. Use

QSO 510 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a statistical analysis report.
Each day, operations management professionals are faced with multiple decisions affecting various aspects of the operation. The ability to use data to drive
decisions is an essential skill that is useful in any facet of an operation. The dynamic environment offers daily challenges that require the talents of the operations
manager; working in this field is exciting and rewarding.
Throughout the course, you will be engaged in activities that charge you with making decisions regarding inventory management, production capacity, product
profitability, equipment effectiveness, and supply chain management. These are just a few of the challenges encountered in the field of operations management.
The final activity in this course will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply statistical tools and methods to solve a problem in a
given scenario that is often encountered by an operations manager. Once you have outlined your analysis strategy and analyzed your data, you will then report
your data, strategy, and overall decision that addresses the given problem.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Seven. The final project is due in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

Seeing” Social MovementsAn important component of studying social.docx
“Seeing” Social Movements
An important component of studying social justice movements is seeing their activities unfold. In this regard one can explore their dynamics and outcomes, analyze their tactics, understand social movement organizations and participants, and get at the reasons for their mobilization and beliefs. This assignment is an effort to get you “into the field” to enable you to “see” social movement activities. Students can do this by critically evaluating a film for its significance to the study of social justice movements, be it in its depiction of a social movement or the voice that it gives to a movement.
Sociologically analyzing a film
Film is not just a component of popular culture or key form of mass media; it is also an important voice that brings relevance to numerous political issues and debates occurring in society. In addition it is a viable means with which to observe social movement activity when it is otherwise unobservable as when it occurred in the past, or in places other than in our own backyard. With this option, you are to observe a social movement depicted in film as if you were “in the field” and analyze it using the theoretical perspectives, ideas, and other tools you have developed in sociology.
1. Choose your film.
I have attached a list of potential films from which you can select.
See the appendix to this document. I encourage you to select something that reflects your interest in a particular social movement. If you have questions about any of these please let me know. Also,
this list is by no means exhaustive and I am always searching for additional options, so if you are interested in viewing something not on the list or give me ideas for should be on the list, please let me know
.
******2. When you have chosen your film, submit the film title, year, and the reason you believe it to be appropriate for the issue you are examining.
The rest of the final paper is due during week 8
3. The details and write-up
As when observing a real social justice movement, you want to watch the film and account for its events as if you were trapped in celluloid with its actors and witnessing it as if reality. Thus, you must try to become engulfed in the activities, characters, images, and themes of the film so as to analyze the events from a sociological perspective.
In analyzing the film you want to provide not only description of events and background of the social movement/protest activities but also must analyze it by considering the following guidelines and questions as appropriate:
A.
Can the actions depicted in the film be considered a social movement? How does it fit the definition and conceptualization of social justice movements that we have examined? Discuss, citing what evidence of ideology, organization, and tactics is present in the protest activities.
Make your argument citing clear evidence from the film and tying it to course readings and the class.
B.
What
theoretical perspective

QSO 520 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an executive brief. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency in utilizing data
and management science techniques to provide recommendations for the managerial decision-making process. Management science techniques allow for data-
driven decision making that assist an organization in making sound business decisions based on facts rather than instincts or emotion. This equips management
with the tools necessary to guide the business toward growth and success while ensuring stakeholder satisfaction. Additionally, it allows organizations to
become more efficient and to quickly respond to changes in the economic landscape and market.
In this assessment, you will be tasked with understanding the complexities and intricacies of a global organization that is facing numerous business challenges.
Based on the information and data presented, you will craft an executive brief stating your findings and recommended solutions to the stakeholders.
You will use the Rougir Cosmetics International: Production Optimization case study to respond to the prompt.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
QSO-520-01: Evaluate factors associated with organizational challenges for prioritizing decision-making strategies
QSO-520-02: Utilize effective decision-making processes for addressing specific organizational challenges
QSO-520-03: Analyze appropriate data for supporting effective organizational decision making
QSO-520-04: Recommend approaches to addressing organizational challenges based on data for obtaining support of intended stakeholders
Prompt
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course outcome (shown in brackets).
I. Problem Statement: To begin, you will first review a scenario about an organization that is experiencing challenges. After reading the scenario, you will
then need to determine what these challenges are, consider how they should be prioritized, and devise a problem statement.

ACC 207 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a quantitative analysis with a memo to management.
Classifying a company’s costs allows for an in-depth analysis of the impact that changes in output have on revenues, costs, and net income or net loss. A cost-
volume-profit (CVP) analysis will be completed in order to determine the breakeven point. Relevant costs will be used to prepare a flexible budget. Additionally,
an appropriate costing system should be selected and the choice should be substantiated with reasonable rationale. Finally, a memo should be prepared for
management that summarizes the results of the quantitative analysis and makes recommendations for an optimal costing system to be ethically used by key
decision makers.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The quantitative analysis with a memo to management will be submitted in
Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Utilize cost behavior and cost analysis to assist decision makers in planning and adding value to the business
Prepare a flexible budget for supporting informed managerial decision making
Interpret variances for determining the optimal costing system to fit an organization’s internal accounting needs
Interpret the role of ethics in cost accounting for determining its impact on decision making
Prompt
In this assignment, multiple analyses will be conducted in order to obtain a company’s financial information specific to company costs.
MDE manufactures outdoor garden items such as lawn ornaments and bird feeders. MDE uses a standard costing system to set standards for direct materials,
labor, and overhead costs. MDE reviews and revises standards as necessary. Recently, budget variances for bird feeders have caused some concern. You, the
company’s cost accountant, have been asked to examine the numbers for the product, explain the variances, and suggest ways to improve performance.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
You will begin by using the MDE Manufacturing Budget (Table I) to analyze costs, contribution margin, and breakeven point for the bird feeder division. You will
then analyze the actual costs and complete a cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis to determine how many bird feeders must be sold at the current cost and sales
price level to earn a $10,000 profit and how much the sales price would have to increase to earn a $10,000 profit at the same cost and sales volume level. Use

QSO 510 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a statistical analysis report.
Each day, operations management professionals are faced with multiple decisions affecting various aspects of the operation. The ability to use data to drive
decisions is an essential skill that is useful in any facet of an operation. The dynamic environment offers daily challenges that require the talents of the operations
manager; working in this field is exciting and rewarding.
Throughout the course, you will be engaged in activities that charge you with making decisions regarding inventory management, production capacity, product
profitability, equipment effectiveness, and supply chain management. These are just a few of the challenges encountered in the field of operations management.
The final activity in this course will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply statistical tools and methods to solve a problem in a
given scenario that is often encountered by an operations manager. Once you have outlined your analysis strategy and analyzed your data, you will then report
your data, strategy, and overall decision that addresses the given problem.

Seeing” Social MovementsAn important component of studying social.docx
“Seeing” Social Movements
An important component of studying social justice movements is seeing their activities unfold. In this regard one can explore their dynamics and outcomes, analyze their tactics, understand social movement organizations and participants, and get at the reasons for their mobilization and beliefs. This assignment is an effort to get you “into the field” to enable you to “see” social movement activities. Students can do this by critically evaluating a film for its significance to the study of social justice movements, be it in its depiction of a social movement or the voice that it gives to a movement.
Sociologically analyzing a film
Film is not just a component of popular culture or key form of mass media; it is also an important voice that brings relevance to numerous political issues and debates occurring in society. In addition it is a viable means with which to observe social movement activity when it is otherwise unobservable as when it occurred in the past, or in places other than in our own backyard. With this option, you are to observe a social movement depicted in film as if you were “in the field” and analyze it using the theoretical perspectives, ideas, and other tools you have developed in sociology.
1. Choose your film.
I have attached a list of potential films from which you can select.
See the appendix to this document. I encourage you to select something that reflects your interest in a particular social movement. If you have questions about any of these please let me know. Also,
this list is by no means exhaustive and I am always searching for additional options, so if you are interested in viewing something not on the list or give me ideas for should be on the list, please let me know
.
******2. When you have chosen your film, submit the film title, year, and the reason you believe it to be appropriate for the issue you are examining.
The rest of the final paper is due during week 8
3. The details and write-up
As when observing a real social justice movement, you want to watch the film and account for its events as if you were trapped in celluloid with its actors and witnessing it as if reality. Thus, you must try to become engulfed in the activities, characters, images, and themes of the film so as to analyze the events from a sociological perspective.
In analyzing the film you want to provide not only description of events and background of the social movement/protest activities but also must analyze it by considering the following guidelines and questions as appropriate:
A.
Can the actions depicted in the film be considered a social movement? How does it fit the definition and conceptualization of social justice movements that we have examined? Discuss, citing what evidence of ideology, organization, and tactics is present in the protest activities.
Make your argument citing clear evidence from the film and tying it to course readings and the class.
B.

Section Four Answer all questions thoroughly and hand-write on loos.docx
Section Four: Answer all questions thoroughly and hand-write on loose-leaf paper.
1. Describe the atmosphere at Buna. What does Wiesel imply by “well-dressed”?
2. Why do the officers take an interest in the young boys as they come into the camp? Why
do you think Wiesel allow the reader to make assumptions before relaying the truth? How
does the parenthetical insertion add to the fact that
Night
is a memoir rather than a piece
of fiction?
3. Explain the conflict that ensues over Eliezer’s shoes. How does the conflict negate everything the men and boys have been told about surviving in the concentration camps?
4. How is the situation with the shoes ironic?
5. How is animal imagery used in the first few pages of Section Four? What is the effect of
this imagery?
6. Who is Juliek? How does Eliezer meet him? Describe the relationship between them.
7. Throughout the memoir Eliezer and the other prisoners are treated like animals. Cite an
example of another image that Wiesel uses to describe how they were treated.
8. Who does Eliezer become friends with at the camp? What connection does he find between their lives? Explain whether or not you believe it is impossible to have true friends in the concentration camps.
9. Who is Alphonse? Explain the benefit of having Alphonse as a leader of the block. Why
do you think Wiesel does not spend much time talking about Alphonse?
10. Why is Eliezer summoned to the dentist? How does Eliezer describe the dentist? What is
ironic about his appearance?
11. How does Eliezer escape the dentist the first time? What does the dentist tell him?
12. How does Eliezer escape the dentist permanently? Why do you think Elie Wiesel includes
the account of the dentist in his memoir when he does not lose his teeth to the dentist?
13. Explain how the following scene functions as foreshadowing: “In fact, I was pleased with what was happening to him: my gold crown was safe. It could be useful to me one day, to buy something, some bread or even time to live.”
14. After reading about the interchange between Eliezer and the young French woman, characterize the young woman.
15. In the memoir, a majority of the animal imagery is associated with the Jews. How does
Wiesel alter the animal imagery in the description of Eliezer’s beating? Explain the purpose
behind the change in images.
16. How does Wiesel interrupt the narration in the passage that begins with, “MANY YEARS
LATER, in Paris, I sat in the Métro ...”? What is the effect of the interruption?
17. Cite the simile that Eliezer uses when describing the beating that his father receives. What
image does it create for the reader?
18. Describe Eliezer’s internal conflict while he watches his father getting beaten.
19. Read the confrontation between Franek and Eliezer. Using examples from the text, explain how Franek is different from the dentist who first tried to take Eliezer’s tooth and how
Eliezer tries to escape the situation differently than the f.

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.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

- 7. 10 Total 100% OL 325 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric Section 2: External Competitiveness Section 2 shifts your focus outside of the firm to understand its relationship with the external marketplace. You will use market survey data to compare pay rates of positions inside the firm with those in the marketplace to establish the foundations of market-competitive pay. The analysis of market data also leads you to the determination of appropriate pay-policy mixes for each of its job structures. In this section, you are asked to use CompAnalysis software developed by Howard Weiss at Temple University, which is also available in MyManagementLab. In Section 2 of this simulation, you will shift your focus from concentrating on e-sonic’s internal consistency to its external competitiveness. First, you will be introduced to the tools compensation professionals use to allocate total compensation most effectively within job structures. Many employees are unaware that their total compensation consists of much more than just base pay. Compensation professionals allocate total pay (for example, base pay, benefits, and different
- 8. types of incentives) to motivate employees in different ways. You will use some of these tools to develop pay policy mixes for each e-sonic job structure. Next, you will consider pay policy level decisions for each job structure. You will then use CompAnalysis (the included software program) to conduct an external market survey. Specific instructions provided with the software program will guide you through the steps involved in the compensation survey exercise. Finally, you will report survey findings, interpreting regression analysis results generated by the software, and provide an explanation of major decisions reached. IMPORTANT: Users of the CompAnalysis software must set the macros to a low level in order for the software to work. If the macros are set on too high of a security level, then the software will be disabled and not work properly. In order to do this, navigate to the "Tools" menu, click "Macros", then "Security". Lower the security level, save the spreadsheet, close it completely, and then re-open. Section 2 Outline: Executive Summary Findings 1. Determine Appropriate Pay-Policy Mix 2. Pay-Policy Level Decisions 3. Compensation Survey a) Choose competitors based upon industry, size, and union status. b) Select benchmark jobs for each structure using benchmark job descriptions.
- 9. c) Reconcile differences using the benchmark job comparison sheet. d) Update salary data for inflation using CPI-U. 4. Implementation of Salary Survey Results a) Report and interpret results of regression analysis for each job. b) Integrate external and internal structures by creating pay grades and ranges. c) Evaluate and summarize decisions made for each job structure. The External Competitiveness section is fully described in the MyManagementLab Building Strategic Compensation Systems casebook for faculty and students, linked in the course menu. Follow the explanations and outline to complete this milestone. Section 2: External Marketplace is due at the end of Module Six. Rubric Requirements of submission: Each section of the final project must follow these formatting guidelines: 5–7 pages, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and discipline-appropriate citations.

Through writing job descriptions, the
- 13. development of job structures, and both the development and implementation of a point evaluation method to quantify job differences objectively, you build the framework for internal equity. In Section 1, you will focus on building an internally consistent compensation system. An internally consistent compensation system design will clearly define the relative value of each e-sonic sample job, creating a job hierarchy and an objective rationale for pay differences. As an e-sonic consultant, you are offered a sample of e-sonic jobs in Section 1. Currently, e-sonic employs 100 people and will be hiring many more. However, for the purpose of this simulation, you are asked to work with the sample of four jobs offered (see Appendix 2 for sample jobs, located in the MyManagementLab project tab). Limiting the number of jobs removes one level of complexity from the simulation and allows you to focus on learning the functions of compensation system design. The framework you develop classifying sample jobs can easily be adapted in the future to include all e-sonic positions. Section 1 Outline: 1. Create Job Descriptions 2. Create Job Structures 3. Build Point Evaluation Method a) Select benchmark jobs. b) Choose compensable factors based upon benchmark jobs. c) Define factor degree statements. d) Determine weights for each compensable factor. 4. Calculate Point Values for e-Sonic Jobs
- 14. a) Determine point value for each compensable factor. b) Use the job evaluation worksheet to calculate point values for each position. c) Distribute points for each compensable factor across degree statements. d) Rate jobs using point method. e) Individually rate jobs to ensure reliability. f) Resolve any discrepancies in point totals. g) Rank jobs in each job structure according to results of your point evaluation. The Internally Consistent Job Structures section is fully described in the MyManagementLab Building Strategic Compensation Systems casebook for faculty and students, linked in the MyLab course menu.
