BA300 Manager Interview Assignment
This is a research paper, so you need to approach it as just that. The point of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can complete research, and connect that research to the class material. In doing this, you will show that you understand and can explain the class material through the research. The research in this assignment is the information that you collect from the interview and shadowing experiences.
Complete the following steps to complete this project:
Step 1: Choose an interview and shadowing subject – This should be a person that:
1. Is currently a manager with employees that they manage,
2. You have access to for both the interview and shadowing, and
3. Agrees to allow you to interview and shadow them.
If you need a letter from the professor to gain their approval, please request one from the professor.
Step 2: Conduct your interview - Use the questions listed below for conducting your Manager Interview. You’ll want to take notes and, if possible, audio record the interview for use when you’re preparing your paper.
Step 3: Shadow your interviewee – spend at least 4 or more hours following the manager through their daily routine. Make notes during this time that focus on what the manager may or may not be doing well based on your opinion and the material from the class.
Step 4: After conducting your interview – prepare a 5-7-page paper that reports your findings from the interview. Think of the interview and shadowing as a primary source (like a book or research journal) to use to write your paper. You MUST clearly cover the following five points:
a. Summarize the manager’s responses to the questions.
b. Evaluate and compare the manager’s responses compared to textbook and lecture discussions.
c. What advice might you give to the manager in order to improve his/her performance?
d. What information most surprised you from the interview and was most useful to you?
e. Use the interview to identify lessons for doing management that you would keep in mind if you held a managerial position.
TIPS FOR WRITING YOUR PAPER:

1. Use subtopic titles to identify main topics or sections of the paper.
2. Use direct quotes from the interview/shadowing to emphasize and connect ideas, and to show that you completed both.
3. Make direct connections between the class topics and things identified in the interview/shadowing.
4. Use correct English words and grammar in your paper to make this a credible research paper.
5. Use correct paragraph structure, meaning that all sentences in a paragraph should support a topic sentence. If a sentence doesn’t support the topic sentence, that means that another paragraph is needed with a different topic sentence or the sentence should be deleted.
1. Write in the first person by using I, me, my, etc. This is a research paper, it’s about the interviewee and not about you.
2. Inject bias into your paper and make the research less credible by establishing a .

· What are you good at?- am very good at using good personal judgement and decision implementation. I can take a situation and make a decision for an effective alternative route.
· What do you need to improve? I need to work on not second guessing my self. This causes me to have uncertainty.
· What do you enjoy doing? I enjoy making a difference in a positive way. I like feeling involved in important decisions.
· What are some of the things that you find unpleasant? I don't like dealing with conflict. It is hard for me to make decisions that can negatively impact others.
· Give examples that support your ideas for each statement. when I worked with United healthcare's training department I discovered much about what I was good at and what I was not good at. I was tasked to make group decisions on how to improved the training material and process. I was also faced with walking trainees in not so pleasant processes such as QA.
· Identify career opportunities and threat by researching (cite them) job prospects in the industry you’re interested in. The biggest threat I found in my research would be technology.

What are you good at? Within the workplace I am good at staying on task and focused. I am good at following directions given and helping out others that are confused or overwhelmed. I have always been good at following directions which has helped me to learn so many new things about cooking in the kitchen.
What do you need to improve? I can improve on multitasking, working quickly and efficiently, and striving to move up in the workplace. I talk quite a lot and I find it hard to talk to the servers and work at the same time so i need to find the happy medium.
What do you enjoy doing? I enjoy helping others, completing tasks from start to finish, and bettering the environment around me any way possible. Every time I come into work I create a to do list and it is very satisfying being able to cross stuff off of the list.
What are some of the things that you find unpleasant? I don't like drama, a dirty workplace, liars within the workplace, and cheaters. The kitchen that I work in can get very dirty sometimes and a dirty workplace leads to messy products.

Nothing Bundt Cakes would be the most competition for the bakery.

There are several practices that the instructors use that have encouraged me to take a deep learning approach. They include group discussions, multimedia presentations, and simulations among others. Group discussions allow students to interact with each other that have helped us to tap into our interpersonal intelligence a skill that is important beyond the classroom. Multimedia presentations such as PowerPoint presentation enables those of us who are better at learning visually understand a topic better. Our instructors provide us with choices by allowing us to choose a topic of discussion for our essay writing assignments. For instance, they allow us to choose an organization of our interest for certain assignments then discuss the assignment using this organization. They also provide us with a selection of books and materials to use in our assignments. They allow us to complete research on a topic of their choice within our area of study and report back to the class. By actively engaging us in the learning process using the above practices and many more, I am able to take a deep learning approach.
Most of my instructors use deep learning approaches. However, some surface learning approaches noted include; assessing our assignments for independent facts using short answer questions, emphasizing coverage of a topic at the expense of depth, and having a short assessment cycle.
The online surveys tell me that I can use several methods to enhance learning among my students. For instance, I should engage my students in the learning process as it increases their attention and focus. It also motivates them to engage in higher level of critical thinking as well as promote meaningful learning experiences. A student-centered approach increases opportunities for student engagement that results to achieving of course learning objectives for both the instructor and the students. Teachers should prepare ahead for classroom discussions in order to have a clear focus for the discussion and address important topics from a number of perspectives. They should also design effective evaluation strategies for their students’ and provide meaningful feedback.
My greatest worry is on how to handle students who do not value their education. I belive that students interested in learning are easy to handle since most of them have some focus on the learning process in order to achieve their personal and professional goals. However, those not interested in learning and have just been pushed by their parents to obtain degrees are a difficult lot to handle. I may be willing to help them but as long as they are not interested in the learning process and have no set goals it remains a challenge for me as a teacher who wants to see all her students achieve academic success and obtain careers of their choice. ...

· Assignment 3: Creating a Compelling Vision
Leaders today must be able to create a compelling vision for the organization. They also must be able to create an aligned strategy and then execute it. Visions have two parts, the envisioned future and the core values that support that vision of the future. The ability to create a compelling vision is the primary distinction between leadership and management. Leaders need to create a vision that will frame the decisions and behavior of the organization and keep it focused on the future while also delivering on the short-term goals.
To learn more about organizational vision statements, do an Internet search and review various vision statements.
In this assignment, you will consider yourself as a leader of an organization and write a vision statement and supporting values statement.
Select an organization of choice. This could be an organization that you are familiar with, or a fictitious organization. Then, respond to the following:
· Provide the name and description of the organization. In the description, be sure to include the purpose of the organization, the products or services it provides, and the description of its customer base.
· Describe the core values of the organization. Why are these specific values important to the organization?
· Describe the benefits and purpose for an organizational vision statement.
· Develop a vision statement for this organization. When developing a vision statement, be mindful of the module readings and lecture materials.
· In the vision statement, be sure to communicate the future goals and aspirations of the organization.
· Once you have developed the vision statement, describe how you would communicate the statement to the organizational stakeholders, that is, the owners, employees, vendors, and customers.
· How would you incorporate the communication of the vision into the new employee on-boarding and ongoing training?
Write your response in approximately 3–5 pages in Microsoft Word. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Teachers should prepare ahead for classroom discussions in order to have a clear focus for the discussion and address important topics from a number of perspectives. They should also design effective evaluation strategies for their students’ and provide meaningful feedback.
My greatest worry is on how to handle students who do not value their education. I belive that students interested in learning are easy to handle since most of them have some focus on the learning process in order to achieve their personal and professional goals. However, those not interested in learning and have just been pushed by their parents to obtain degrees are a difficult lot to handle. I may be willing to help them but as long as they are not interested in the learning process and have no set goals it remains a challenge for me as a teacher who wants to see all her students achieve academic success and obtain careers of their choice. ...

· Assignment 3: Creating a Compelling Vision
Leaders today must be able to create a compelling vision for the organization. They also must be able to create an aligned strategy and then execute it. Visions have two parts, the envisioned future and the core values that support that vision of the future. The ability to create a compelling vision is the primary distinction between leadership and management. Leaders need to create a vision that will frame the decisions and behavior of the organization and keep it focused on the future while also delivering on the short-term goals.
To learn more about organizational vision statements, do an Internet search and review various vision statements.
In this assignment, you will consider yourself as a leader of an organization and write a vision statement and supporting values statement.
Select an organization of choice. This could be an organization that you are familiar with, or a fictitious organization. Then, respond to the following:
· Provide the name and description of the organization. In the description, be sure to include the purpose of the organization, the products or services it provides, and the description of its customer base.
· Describe the core values of the organization. Why are these specific values important to the organization?
· Describe the benefits and purpose for an organizational vision statement.
· Develop a vision statement for this organization. When developing a vision statement, be mindful of the module readings and lecture materials.
· In the vision statement, be sure to communicate the future goals and aspirations of the organization.
· Once you have developed the vision statement, describe how you would communicate the statement to the organizational stakeholders, that is, the owners, employees, vendors, and customers.
· How would you incorporate the communication of the vision into the new employee on-boarding and ongoing training?
Write your response in approximately 3–5 pages in Microsoft Word. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.
By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.

Code of Ethics: This is a synopsis of some of the most important ethical
considerations you need to be aware of as a professional in the real estate
industry.
Terminology:
Agency: The fiduciary relationship created between a principal and an agent whereby the agent
can act on behalf of the principle for certain transactions. Agency is usually created when the
principal signs a listing agreement to list their property for sale or a management contract to rent
a property for instance.
Agent: The broker or sales associate acting on behalf of the principal (see Agency)
Client: The person with whom the broker or sales associate has a legal contract to represent.
Customer: Is not contractually bound to the industry professional
Principal: Person who hires an agent to act on his or behalf.
Code of Ethics:
#1: The agent has a responsibility to promote the interests of their client(s) and treat all involved
in any real estate transaction in an honest and fair manner. They must disclose if they are a
dual agent (representing both buyer and seller in a transaction) or a designated agent
(represent either the buyer or seller depending on state law), or they are a limited representative
(will provide only certain duties in the transaction per state law).
#2: Agents must openly acknowledge to clients any personal interest they might have in any
transaction prior to showing a property; they must acknowledge any personal relationships
involved. Ex: Agent says, “I want to disclose to you before we look at it, that this property
belongs to is my brother and my sister in-law is his agent.”
#3: The Agent will not allow anyone that is not pre-authorized by the owner, to access the
property of the client.
#4: Never overstate benefits or attributes of a property or opportun.

ome creators announce their inventions with grand
éclat. God proclaimed, “Fiat lux,” and then flooded
his new universe with brightness. Others bring forth
great discoveries in a modest guise, as did Charles
Darwin in defining his new mechanism of evolu-
tionary causality in 1859: “I have called this principle, by which
each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term Natur-
al Selection.”
Natural selection is an immensely powerful yet beautifully
simple theory that has held up remarkably well, under intense
and unrelenting scrutiny and testing, for 135 years. In essence,
natural selection locates the mechanism of evolutionary change
in a “struggle” among organisms for reproductive success, lead-
ing to improved fit of populations to changing environments.
(Struggle is often a metaphorical description and need not be
viewed as overt combat, guns blazing. Tactics for reproductive
success include a variety of nonmartial activities such as earlier
and more frequent mating or better cooperation with partners
in raising offspring.) Natural selection is therefore a principle of
local adaptation, not of general advance or progress.
Yet powerful though the principle may be, natural selection
is not the only cause of evolutionary change (and may, in many
cases, be overshadowed by other forces). This point needs em-
phasis because the standard misapplication of evolutionary the-
ory assumes that biological explanation may be equated with
devising accounts, often speculative and conjectural in practice,
about the adaptive value of any given feature in its original en-
vironment (human aggression as good for hunting, music and
religion as good for tribal cohesion, for example). Darwin him-
self strongly emphasized the multifactorial nature of evolu-
tionary change and warned against too exclusive a reliance on
natural selection, by placing the following statement in a max-
imally conspicuous place at the very end of his introduction: “I
am convinced that Natural Selection has been the most impor-
tant, but not the exclusive, means of modification.”
Reality versus Conceit
N A T U R A L S E L E C T I O N is not fully sufficient to explain evo-
lutionary change for two major reasons. First, many other caus-
es are powerful, particularly at levels of biological organization
both above and below the traditional Darwinian focus on or-
ganisms and their struggles for reproductive success. At the low-
est level of substitution in individual base pairs of DNA, change
is often effectively neutral and therefore random. At higher lev-
els, involving entire species or faunas, punctuated equilibrium
can produce evolutionary trends by selection of species based
on their rates of origin and extirpation, whereas mass extinc-
tions wipe out substantial parts of biotas for reasons unrelat-
ed to adaptive struggles of constituent species in “normal”

Presentation Style
Your research project needs to be clearly presented:
·
The front page should include your
name, project title (around 15 words), your supervisor’s name, the date it
was completed;
·
Work should be presented single
sided, in Arial, minimum font size 11 and be one and a half spaced;
·
A contents page detailing the section
and any tables/charts should be included;
·
Any quotes of less than 12 words
should be identified by quotation marks and kept as part of the paragraph text;
·
Quotes of 12 words and above should
be separated out from the text, indented on the left and right and be displayed
in italics (no quotation marks required);
·
All tables and charts should be
numbered appropriately and have a title;
·
Each section of your project should
be started on a new page;
·
All pages should be numbered;
·
Each section should be numbered (e.g.
1. Introduction) and any charts/graphs within the section should be numbered
accordingly. For example if you are writing about something in section 4.1 (the
first sub-section) then the first chart or graph would be 4.11. So charts and
graphs (if included) are numbered according to the section/sub-section.

Alistair Cockburn
• What’s Alistair’s take on Iterative vs. Incremental?
Incremental vs. Iterative
• in incremental development, you do each of those
activities multiple times … that is, you go around the
requirements – design – programming – testing –
integration – delivery cycle multiple times. You
“iterate” through that cycle multiple times. (“iterate” –
get it? sigh…)
• in iterative development, you also do each of those
activities multiple times … you go around the
requirements – design – programming – testing –
integration – delivery cycle multiple times. You
“iterate” through that cycle multiple times. By Gummy!
Both of those are “iterative” development! WOW!

Incremental vs. Iterative (cont’d)
• Of course, the $200,000 question is,
do you repeat the cycle “on the same
part of the system you just got done
with” or “on a new part of the
system”? How you answer that
question yields very different results
on what happens next on your
project.

Feminist Figures or Damsels in Distress?
The Media’s Gendered Misrepresentation
of Disney Princesses
Isabelle Gill | University of Central Florida
A gender bias seems to exist when discussing Disney princesses in entertainment media that could have
significant consequences for girls who admire these heroines. Prior research and my own extensions have
shown that modern princesses display almost equal amounts of masculine and feminine qualities; how-
ever, my research on film reviews shows an inaccurate representation of these qualities. These media
perpetuate sexist ideals for women in society by including traditionally feminine vocabulary, degrading
physical descriptions, and inaccuracies about the films, as well as syntax and critiques that trivialize the
heroines’ accomplishments and suggest the characters are not empowered enough. The reviews also
encourage unhealthy competition between the princesses and devote significantly more words to these
negative trends than to positive discussions. These patterns result in the depiction of the princesses as
more stereotypically feminine and weak than is indicated by the films themselves, which hinders the cre-
ation of role models for girls.
Despite significant strides women have made
toward combatting sexism in American
society, news and entertainment media rep-
resentations of women continue to be one of
the many obstacles left before reaching
equality. Numerous studies have identified
gender bias in the ways media represent
women (Fink and Kensicki; Niven and
Zilber; Shacar; Wood). Media tend to favor
representations of women who are “tradi-
tionally feminine” as well as not “too able,
too powerful, or too confident,” over more
complex representations (Wood 33). For
example, research by Janet Fink and Linda
Jean Kensicki shows that when media aimed
at both men and women discuss female ath-
letes, their focus is on sex appeal, fashion,
and family rather than athletic accomplish-
ment. Female scientists as well as female
members of Congress also fall victim to this
trend. Interviews with male scientists often
portray them as primarily professionals
while interviews with female scientists tend
to reference their professionalism while high-
lighting domesticity and family life (Shacar).
Similarly, media descriptions of the female
members of Congress focus on domestic
issues even though the congresswomen por-
tray themselves as having diverse interests
(Niven and Zilber). In sum, biased, gendered
representations of women are common in
various forms of media.
Media misrepresentation of women in
these ways can lead to significant social
consequences, such as reinforcing anti-
quated gender roles and diminishing the
perception of women’s impact on society
(England, Descartes, and Collier-Meek;
Fink and Kensicki; Graves; Niven and
Zilber; Shacar; Wood). Since media are

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.

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

Self leadership is the ability of someone to guide
themselves to positive places that they have never
been before. It enables a person to fulfill their
potential while building a strong foundation from
which to make daily decisions -- both
professionally and personally. Without a strong
sense of self-leadership, people can feel out of
control, overwhelmed and unfocused. (Bommelje,
2009, p. 1).

MENTORING VERSUS COACHING
According to Chakravarthy (2011), the main difference
between mentoring and coaching is the focus.
Mentors focus on the individual and his or her general
14. work life. The focus is on attitudes and behaviors.
Coachs focus on the task. A coach helps with attitudes
skills, and behaviors related to job success
(Chakravarthy, 2011).

ACTION LEARNING
Another key term that is associated with mentoring and
coaching is “action learning.” Davis, Doran,
Hutchinson, and Provost (2012) defined action learning
as an organizational process designed to create
continuous quality improvements Action learning is an
effective process used to integrate learning and teaching

Week 2 - Assignment
Cover Letter
Often times a cover letter is your first impression when
applying for a new job. In order to stand out from other
candidates, you will want to write a unique cover letter for each
position that is of interest to you. A cover letter allows you to
clarify, detail, and expand on your most relevant skills and
competencies. In addition, it allows you to highlight your
written communication skills.
It is important that you have a compelling and impactful cover
letter. To accomplish this, you need to answer the following
questions before you begin composing your letter.
· Why are you interested in the position? (Consider what makes
the position, organization, or company interesting to you.)
· What three skills or competencies do you possess that match
the skills the employer is seeking in a candidate?
· You can find these skills by viewing the job description.
These specific skills are the reason every cover letter should be
unique for each job for which you apply.
For this assignment, you will explore the components of a cover
letter, reflect on your most relevant skills, and assess what
action steps you can take to make your cover letter stronger.
· The Cover Letters resource contains step-by step instructions
for creating a cover letter including: formatting suggestions,
tips regarding how to highlight your best skills and
qualification and how to tailor your letter for specific job you
wish to apply to.
· For more in-depth guidance for writing a cover letter, please
visit https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/cover-letter.htm
or https://biginterview.com/blog/2014/01/cover-letter-
examples.html
19. For your assignment:
· First, identify a position on http://www.indeed.com/.that
interests you as a potential job opportunity. Using the job
description, identify three skills or qualifications that match
your background and type them out. NOTE: I’ve attached the
cover letter that I use. You can find a job that is for retail
management that is the field I currently work in.
· Next, using the format suggestions from both the webinar and
cover letter sample, create a two to three paragraph letter that
addresses the three matching skills and/or competencies you
would like to highlight for the employer. The goal is to tailor
the body of your cover letter to the position you seek.
· Include the link for the job description you are interested in at
the bottom of the cover letter along with the proper citations for
any additional resources you utilize.
