2. How can a performance appraisal system effectively address employee-related challenges in the workplace such as performance problems, unsatisfactory conduct, and/or violations of policies?
This is the video transcript of video
- Suppose you're an employee who's just been told by your boss that it's time for your annual review. Suddenly, you're overcome with a deep sense of dread and foreboding. You think you've had a pretty good year but suppose the boss doesn't see things the way you do.More importantly, how will the boss's judgment affect the pay raise you're expecting? If pay for performance means anything, it means that there needs to be some judgment by a person in authority about your performance so they can tie that judgment to decisions about pay.
So I want to help you understand how organizations link pay to performance through performance reviews. In the US, about 90% of all organizations use performance reviews as a basis for pay decisions yet over the last decade, there have been vast changes in how reviews are done and how frequently they are done. At a general level, reviews serve as a basis for management decisions such as whom to promote, whom to let go or how to make adjustments in pay and to provide constructive feedback to help employees improve their performance.
Some organizations make performance reviews an annual event. However, when they do that, it's impossible to separate discussions about professional growth and development from discussions about pay adjustments. Employees tend to focus on the pay adjustments and often get defensive when the boss says anything negative about their performance. Today, we recognize that performance reviews for pay purposes are part of a larger, more frequent process of performance management.
Just like coaching in sports, the objective of performance management is to offer feedback about your performance to help you get better.Many companies have moved to more frequent check-ins, daily, weekly or monthly so that there are no surprises. If there are no surprises during employees' pay reviews then there's little reason to get defensive. The discussion can focus exclusively on the reasons for the decision about your pay.
There are practical advantages for managers to provide more frequent feedback including higher employee retention, higher customer satisfaction, higher levels of employee commitment and increased profits. Okay, by no ...

HOW TO SOLVE THE 5 BIGGEST PROBLEMS IN WORKPLACE LEARNINGHuman Capital Media
L&D professionals work hard to help their people and organizations succeed. Unfortunately, these efforts are derailed over and over by the same systemic problems. And it's not just you! Companies all over the world are experiencing the same issues when it comes to learning at work. Enough! It's time to fix the fundamental issues that frustrate L&D and limit their potential value.
We'll show you how global organizations are solving the 5 BIGGEST problems in workplace learning:
No clear value to the business ("We never get a seat at the table!")
Compliance training ("Not another long, boring eLearning module!")
Constantly shifting priorities ("We need training on this tomorrow!")
Inability to get frontline management buy-in ("We don't have time for learning!")
Poor employee engagement ("We have to chase people down to complete training!")
We'll share practical tips to help you overcome these challenges and stay focused on the problems that really matter to your business.

According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 19.docxronak56
According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 1950 (P.L. 81-875) defined the roles and responsibilities during natural disasters. Once the president issued a disaster declaration, federal relief resources could flow to the affected areas for response and recovery. The president would then delegate administrative control of relief efforts to the Housing and Home Finance Administration. This law also instituted the federal role in natural disasters as a supportive role, while instituting primary responsibility for disaster response and recovery with local and state governments. How had this changed by 1978? Why did it change? Do you agree with the change? Why, or why not?

According to the text, economic outcomes measured by economic gr.docxronak56
According to the text, economic outcomes measured by economic growth is affected by a number of factors. Also, hundreds of empirical studies on economic growth across countries have highlighted the correlation between economic growth and a variety of variables.
Claims regarding the determinants of economic growth are conditional, and the findings depend on the variables used. However, the availability of physical capital or infrastructure, government consumption, terms of trade, macroeconomic stability, the rule of law, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, foreign direct investments, population size, and natural resource availability are the most consistent findings of empirical studies on economic growth.
Review the literature on economic growth and provide a summary of how:
Population affects economic growth
Natural Resource Abundance affects economic growth
Note: The answers you provide to each of these sub-questions should not be more than 15 sentences.
Also note that because this is a literature review you must cite credible sources; avoid using news articles.
The examples below should serve as a guide
Example 1: The example below shows how inflation affects investment in a study of the effect of inflation on investment.
The destabilizing effect of inflation on investment has been a major source of debate in economic and business literature. Generally, inflation is often considered a sign of macroeconomic instability and the inability of government to control macroeconomic policy, both of which contribute to an adverse investment climate (Fischer, 2013; Greene & Villanueva, 1991). However, the empirical evidence is still far from convincing. While some authors claim positive effects of inflation on investment, others hold that inflation poses a “stealth” threat to investments. For example, Greene and Villanueva (1991) argue that high rate of inflation adversely affects private investment activity by increasing the riskiness of long-term investment projects. Also, Fischer (2013) observed that inflation uncertainty is associated with substantial reduction in total investment. On the contrary, McClain and Nicholes (1993) found that investment and inflation are positively related to each other.
Example 2: The example below shows how natural resource endowments affects income inequality in a study of the determinants of income inequality.
The nexus between natural resource endowments and income inequality has also been widely debated and has inspired a long history of research in both economics and political science (see, for example, Fum and Hodler, 2010; Goderis and Malone, 2011; Leamer, Maul, Rodriguez, and Schott, 1999; Carmignani, 2013; Parcero and Papyrakis, 2016; Bourguignon and Morrisson, 1998). For example, Anderson et al., (2004) argue that natural resources endowment provide a plausible explanation as to why the observed levels of inequality are significantly higher in both sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.

According to the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), part of being a well-prepared special educator includes “developing relationships with families based on mutual respect and actively involving families and individuals with exceptionalities in educational decision making” (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015, Special Education Professional Ethical Principles, E). This includes advocating for parental involvement by providing information on educational rights and safeguards in a way that creates accessibility and transparent IEP meeting procedures (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015).
Hammond, Ingalls and Trussell (2008) investigated the experiences of those family members who attended an initial IEP meeting and then subsequent meetings over the next four years. Their findings indicated that the overwhelming majority of the 212 family participants agreed that the child needed special education services but had negative emotional responses to the initial team meeting. Some of the most beneficial information collected included acknowledging the emotions tied to having a child initial diagnosed with a disability; stronger communication skills by education professionals during the team meeting; and additional measures to better prepare parents for the team meetings (Hammond, Ingalls, & Trussell, 2008). Similarly, the article,

(Wellner, 2012) was written to emphasize the importance of trust building strategies to avoid costly due process hearings and to maximize relationships with all involved in making decisions on behalf of the student with special needs.

MAJOR HEALTH CARE PROBLEMS IN THE U.S. 2
Major Health Care Problems in the US
Problem statement: High and continuously rising cost of health care has been and still is one of
the biggest challenges affecting the Health Care system in United States.
Methods of Examining the Problem
Both qualitative and quantitative research methods should be used to fully understand the
issue of high cost of care in the US. Quantitative methods like surveys and experimentations will
aid in estimating the prevalence, magnitude and frequency of the problem in different regions.
On the other hand, qualitative methods like case studies and observation will help describe the
extent and complexity of the issue. The two approaches need to work in complementation to
obtain a clear understanding of this menace.
Surveys, as a quantitative research method, is one of the most effective in the social
research and present a more viable method of examining the cost of health in the country. They
involve asking of questions in the form of questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires are
written questions to which the response can be open ended or multiple-choice format. This
would be used to gain information about cost within determinants that are of
disagree/neutral/agree nature. An example is if patients are contented with the cost of services
they get or they deem the cost of cover worthy. Interviews, the researcher discussing issues with
the respondents, are to be used to gain more details on already known aspects of the system. This
may include gathering information to inform policies, administration and use of technology to
minimize the cost of care.
Since health cost in the US is not a new challenge and there have been studies about it,

According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 19.docxronak56
According to the textbook, the Federal Disaster Assistance Act of 1950 (P.L. 81-875) defined the roles and responsibilities during natural disasters. Once the president issued a disaster declaration, federal relief resources could flow to the affected areas for response and recovery. The president would then delegate administrative control of relief efforts to the Housing and Home Finance Administration. This law also instituted the federal role in natural disasters as a supportive role, while instituting primary responsibility for disaster response and recovery with local and state governments. How had this changed by 1978? Why did it change? Do you agree with the change? Why, or why not?

According to the text, economic outcomes measured by economic gr.docxronak56
According to the text, economic outcomes measured by economic growth is affected by a number of factors. Also, hundreds of empirical studies on economic growth across countries have highlighted the correlation between economic growth and a variety of variables.
Claims regarding the determinants of economic growth are conditional, and the findings depend on the variables used. However, the availability of physical capital or infrastructure, government consumption, terms of trade, macroeconomic stability, the rule of law, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, foreign direct investments, population size, and natural resource availability are the most consistent findings of empirical studies on economic growth.
Review the literature on economic growth and provide a summary of how:
Population affects economic growth
Natural Resource Abundance affects economic growth
Note: The answers you provide to each of these sub-questions should not be more than 15 sentences.
Also note that because this is a literature review you must cite credible sources; avoid using news articles.
The examples below should serve as a guide
Example 1: The example below shows how inflation affects investment in a study of the effect of inflation on investment.
The destabilizing effect of inflation on investment has been a major source of debate in economic and business literature. Generally, inflation is often considered a sign of macroeconomic instability and the inability of government to control macroeconomic policy, both of which contribute to an adverse investment climate (Fischer, 2013; Greene & Villanueva, 1991). However, the empirical evidence is still far from convincing. While some authors claim positive effects of inflation on investment, others hold that inflation poses a “stealth” threat to investments. For example, Greene and Villanueva (1991) argue that high rate of inflation adversely affects private investment activity by increasing the riskiness of long-term investment projects. Also, Fischer (2013) observed that inflation uncertainty is associated with substantial reduction in total investment. On the contrary, McClain and Nicholes (1993) found that investment and inflation are positively related to each other.
Example 2: The example below shows how natural resource endowments affects income inequality in a study of the determinants of income inequality.
The nexus between natural resource endowments and income inequality has also been widely debated and has inspired a long history of research in both economics and political science (see, for example, Fum and Hodler, 2010; Goderis and Malone, 2011; Leamer, Maul, Rodriguez, and Schott, 1999; Carmignani, 2013; Parcero and Papyrakis, 2016; Bourguignon and Morrisson, 1998). For example, Anderson et al., (2004) argue that natural resources endowment provide a plausible explanation as to why the observed levels of inequality are significantly higher in both sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.

According to the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), part of.docxronak56
According to the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), part of being a well-prepared special educator includes “developing relationships with families based on mutual respect and actively involving families and individuals with exceptionalities in educational decision making” (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015, Special Education Professional Ethical Principles, E). This includes advocating for parental involvement by providing information on educational rights and safeguards in a way that creates accessibility and transparent IEP meeting procedures (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015).
Hammond, Ingalls and Trussell (2008) investigated the experiences of those family members who attended an initial IEP meeting and then subsequent meetings over the next four years. Their findings indicated that the overwhelming majority of the 212 family participants agreed that the child needed special education services but had negative emotional responses to the initial team meeting. Some of the most beneficial information collected included acknowledging the emotions tied to having a child initial diagnosed with a disability; stronger communication skills by education professionals during the team meeting; and additional measures to better prepare parents for the team meetings (Hammond, Ingalls, & Trussell, 2008). Similarly, the article,

(Wellner, 2012) was written to emphasize the importance of trust building strategies to avoid costly due process hearings and to maximize relationships with all involved in making decisions on behalf of the student with special needs.

MAJOR HEALTH CARE PROBLEMS IN THE U.S. 2
Major Health Care Problems in the US
Problem statement: High and continuously rising cost of health care has been and still is one of
the biggest challenges affecting the Health Care system in United States.
Methods of Examining the Problem
Both qualitative and quantitative research methods should be used to fully understand the
issue of high cost of care in the US. Quantitative methods like surveys and experimentations will
aid in estimating the prevalence, magnitude and frequency of the problem in different regions.
On the other hand, qualitative methods like case studies and observation will help describe the
extent and complexity of the issue. The two approaches need to work in complementation to
obtain a clear understanding of this menace.
Surveys, as a quantitative research method, is one of the most effective in the social
research and present a more viable method of examining the cost of health in the country. They
involve asking of questions in the form of questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires are
written questions to which the response can be open ended or multiple-choice format. This
would be used to gain information about cost within determinants that are of
disagree/neutral/agree nature. An example is if patients are contented with the cost of services
they get or they deem the cost of cover worthy. Interviews, the researcher discussing issues with
the respondents, are to be used to gain more details on already known aspects of the system. This
may include gathering information to inform policies, administration and use of technology to
minimize the cost of care.
Since health cost in the US is not a new challenge and there have been studies about it,

According to the author, Social Security is an essential program, .docxronak56
According to the author, Social Security is an essential program, but its future is looking unpromising unless we start by eliminating the payroll tax cap.
In the author’s proposal to keep the funding open, the author proposes the acceptance of Bernie Sanders’ “Keeping Our Social Security Promises Act,” which the author suggests would removes the payroll tax cap. To elaborate further, the author stated that the reason for the cap on the social security is because of the uneven amount of participation during elections which makes the rich influential in governance. The author stated that, research have found that the rich who made over $125,000 contributed 35% in campaigns. According to the author, this act causes a major problem regarding the shaping of the social security because people with lower income would not be able to contribute that amount of money towards campaigns. The author also states that it causes greater income equality, since those who contribute are rich and as a matter of fact get more benefits from political power in the form of payroll tax cap. This in the authors words, compromises the state of social welfare in the United States because those active in politics don’t have the same views as the poor who are focused on housing, poverty, and health. Congressional Research Service was used to predicts that, if tax cap is not removed, there will be a permanent increase of tax rate from 12.4% to 15.1% which would hurt people making less than the current tax cap currently at $132,900 or, cutting benefits by 20% in 2035 and continuously rising every year.
In as much as the author makes a good point on the percentage of rich people that donated to campaign, the author failed to state how much the rich get in payroll tax cap since that is a major part of the authors argument. The authors failed to indicate how an increase in tax rate would affect people making less than the current tax cap which is $132,900. To sum it up, the author failed to expand and give more numeric evidence to support the argument.
In addition, to provide a guideline in eliminating payroll tax cap, the author suggested a bill introduced by Bernie Sanders called, Keeping Our Social Security Promises Act. The bill according to the author seeks to remove the cap placed on payroll taxes. The author further stated the bill will help Solvency to expand for 75 years without increasing taxes for those who earn less than $250,000, the only people who will see a change are those earn more than $250,000. According to the Congressional Research Service as stated by the author, removing the cap would eliminate 84% of the projected shortfall. The author stated that, the top 200 CEOs would have to contributed $341,291,106 towards Social Security when the tax cap is removed. In addition, the author stated that, removing the cap would eliminate 84% of the projected shortfall. The author proposes an increase in the taxable payroll from 12.40% to 12.83% to keep it solvent.

- Suppose you're an employee who's just been told by your
boss that it's time for your annual review. Suddenly, you're
overcome with a deep sense of dread and foreboding. You think
you've had a pretty good year but suppose the boss doesn't see
things the way you do.More importantly, how will the boss's
judgment affect the pay raise you're expecting? If pay for
performance means anything, it means that there needs to be
some judgment by a person in authority about your
performance so they can tie that judgment to decisions about
pay.
So I want to help you understand how organizations link pay to
performance through performance reviews. In the US, about
90% of all organizations use performance reviews as a basis for
pay decisions yet over the last decade, there have been vast
changes in how reviews are done and how frequently they are
2. done. At a general level, reviews serve as a basis for
management decisions such as whom to promote, whom to let
go or how to make adjustments in pay and to provide
constructive feedback to help employees improve their
performance.
Some organizations make performance reviews an annual
event. However, when they do that, it's impossible to separate
discussions about professional growth and development from
discussions about pay adjustments. Employees tend to focus on
the pay adjustments and often get defensive when the boss says
anything negative about their performance. Today, we recognize
that performance reviews for pay purposes are part of a
larger, more frequent process of performance management.
Just like coaching in sports, the objective of performance
management is to offer feedback about your performance to
help you get better.Many companies have moved to more
frequent check-ins, daily, weekly or monthly so that there are
no surprises. If there are no surprises during employees' pay
reviews then there's little reason to get defensive. The
discussion can focus exclusively on the reasons for the decision
about your pay.
There are practical advantages for managers to provide more
frequent feedback including higher employee retention, higher
customer satisfaction, higher levels of employee commitment
and increased profits. Okay, by now you're probably asking
yourself, if I'm the boss,what's the best format for rating
performance? Should I use objective data, subjective data or
both? In some jobs like that of receptionist, you may not have a
choice.
Intangibles make the difference between poor, average and
superior performance. Qualities like courtesy when greeting
clients and answering phones, initiative in solving problems
without running to the boss and dependability under deadlines
are crucial. Other jobs like sales lend themselves to more
objective measures. The key consideration is relevance. Rate
your employees on the things that really make a
3. difference between success and failure in their jobs.
If employees really believe your feedback will help them do
their jobs better, they're more willing to put your suggestions
into practice.Include specific examples to support your
ratings and be able to explain them to your superiors as well as
to your direct reports. If there are no surprises in the review
process then there's no reason for employees to react with
dread when the time comes to adjust their pay.

Most of our conversations will take place using email. This
does not mean that you cannot come to my office hours or use
the telephone to communicate with me, but it is easier to
communicate using electronic sources. Please feel free to
email. I can be reached by telephone only during office hours.
Class Schedule: February 13-March 26
Course assignments are due on Sundays by
11:59 pm.
Most of our conversations will take place using email. This
does not mean that you cannot contact me by telephone or meet
with me in person to communicate with me, but it is easier to
4. communicate using electronic sources. Please feel free to email
me through the Canvas email system.
Outside of the instructor’s campus office hours, she also will
call students for telephone conferences. Students can email the
instructor with a good time and number to reach them. For
privacy reasons, the instructor will call from a blocked number
(but only during designated time periods given by the
student.)Course Format:
The content of this class will all be on line. There is an
important difference between an on-campus course and an
online course. An online course demands that the student be
highly disciplined and motivated. This course is NOT SELF-
PACED. There are fixed deadlines that must be met if you are
to be successful in this course.
Course Description:
This is a selected topics capstone interdisciplinary experience
course for the AA degree curriculum. It summarizes (in an
applied manner) major points in the bodies of knowledge
acquired while participating in the general education
experience. This course will involve research, application of
theoretical models and utilization of learned skills.
The theme of this course is presidential scandals, which will be
the focus of most class assignments.
Course Objectives:
The assignments for this course have been designed to allow
students the opportunity to demonstrate their ability in the
following areas:
1. Think and read critically
5. 2. Express themselves clearly in written and oral
communication
3. Use technology to access, retrieve, and communicate
information
4. Understanding of global, political, social, economic and
historical perspectives
5. Evaluate the causes of past events and relate them to
problems and issues of today.
6. Research an historical event and gather information that
helps evaluate a question and explanation about that event.
Grading Policy:
The grades in this course are “satisfactory” and
“unsatisfactory,” S and U. To achieve an S grade, you will need
to demonstrate proficiency on all assigned tasks. Students must
satisfactorily complete ALL course requirements to receive a
passing grade.
Grades:
Assignments normally will be graded within five days after the
deadline. Grades and brief comments will be placed in the
grade book in Canvas. Please do not ask the instructors through
the comment section in the grade book. Please use email,
telephone calls, or in office conferences for questions.
Academic Honesty:
Cheating and plagiarism on research and your presentation will
result in a grade of U for the course. Cheating is turning in
work that you did not research or write or making oral
presentations of material that you did not research. Plagiarism
is using information without citing its source; it includes direct
copying, copying with minor changes, and paraphrasing. It is
6. OK—in fact, recommended, to have another person read and
criticize your coursework and for you to edit them in response,
but not to have another person write them for you.
Attendance:
In an online course, you are expected to show up online. This
course is designed to be interactive in which you contribute to
weekly assignments and a group assignment. You should plan
to log in at least twice a week to stay current with your
assignments, read any announcements and/or your course email.
Important Technical Points
Please do not wait until the last minute to complete
assignments. Submitting assignments close to the deadline may
result in last minute problems. Students should not wait until
the last minutes before the deadline to submit their work. The
instructor will not be available until the next day.
Unfortunately, last minute internet problems occur. When
students have difficulty at the last minute, please email the
instructor before the deadline to prove their work was attempted
within a reasonable time before a deadline.
Students who utilize Mac computers must convert their work to
word documents for the instructor to view it.
When students experience access problems with the internet,
please consider clearing your cache or updating your browsers.
Safari, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox are the best browsers
to utilize for Canvas.
Course Requirements:
Students are expected to watch videos, read articles, answer
questions, write a brief press release, research and complete a
presentation, evaluate your peers, and write a general education
essay.

The Controversy: Does fracking contribute to global
warming?Passage 1. Pro: from "Fracking Contributes to Global
Warming" by Louis W. Allstadt
17. The fracking that's going on right now is the real wake-up call
on just what extreme lengths are required to pull oil or gas out
of the ground now that most of the conventional reservoirs have
been exploited—at least those that are easy to access.
First of all you have to look at what is conventional oil and gas.
That was pretty much anything that was produced until around
2000. It's basically a process of drilling down through a cap
rock, an impervious rock that has trapped oil and gas beneath it.
And once you're into that reservoir—which is really not a void,
it’s porous rock—the natural pressure of the gas will push up
the gas and oil.
Now what's happened is that the prospect of finding more of
those conventional reservoirs, particularly on land and in the
places that have been heavily explored like the US and Europe
and the Middle East just is very, very small. And the companies
have pretty much acknowledged that. All of them talk about the
need to go to either nonconventional shale or tight sand drilling
or to go into deeper and deeper waters or to go into really
hostile Arctic regions and possibly Antarctic regions.
Both the horizontal drilling and fracturing have been around for
a long time. The industry will tell you this over and over
again—they've been around for 60 years, things like that. That
is correct. What's different is the volume of fracking fluids and
the volume of flowback that occurs in these wells. It is 50 to
100 times more than what was used in the conventional wells.
The other [difference] is that the rock above the target zone is
not necessarily impervious the way it was in the conventional
wells. And to me that last point is at least as big as the volume.
The industry will tell you that the mile or two between the zone
that's being fracked is not going to let anything come up.
But there are already cases where the methane gas has made it
18. up into the aquifers and atmosphere. Sometimes through old
well bores, sometimes through natural fissures in the rock. What
we don't know is just how much gas is going to come up over
time. It's a point most people haven't gotten. It's not just what's
happening today. We're opening up channels for the gas to creep
up to the surface and into the atmosphere. And methane is a
much more potent greenhouse gas in the short term—less than
100 years—than carbon dioxide.

Passage 2. Con: from "Fracking Does Not Contribute to Global
Warming" by Coral Davenport
A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences concludes that hydraulic fracturing—the controversial
technique behind the nation's recent oil and gas boom—doesn't
appear to contribute significantly to global warming, as many
environmental groups have warned.
It's great news for oil and gas companies such as ExxonMobil,
Shell, and Chevron, which have relied on breakthroughs in so-
called fracking technology to cheaply unlock vast new reserves
of domestic oil and natural gas that had been trapped
underground in shale-rock formations.
"It's very good news," said Richard Keil, a spokesman for
ExxonMobil, of the study. "This is a groundbreaking survey. It's
the most extensive one that's been done yet, and it serves to add
important new evidence that hydraulic fracturing does not
contribute to climate change—it does not contribute methane
19. emissions at levels higher than those set by the Environmental
Protection Agency [EPA]."
The study concluded that the majority of hydraulically fractured
natural gas wells have surface equipment that reduces on-the-
ground methane emissions by 99 percent, although it also found
that elsewhere on fracking rigs, some valves do allow methane
to escape at levels 30 percent higher than those set by EPA.
Overall, however, the study concludes that total methane
emissions from fracking are about 10 percent lower than levels
set by EPA.
The $2.3 million study was conducted by scientists at the
University of Texas, with funding provided by nine energy
companies, including ExxonMobil, and one environmental
group, the Environmental Defense Fund. A spokesman for the
University of Texas said that while the companies contributed
money to the study, they had no input on the research or results,
which were subject to independent peer review before being
published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences, one of the nation's most prestigious scientific
journals.
University of Texas researchers say their yearlong study, which
involved measuring methane emissions from 190 natural gas
production sites in the Gulf coast, mid-continent, Rocky
Mountains, and Appalachia, is far more comprehensive than
[other studies], which relied on existing data rather than new
fieldwork.
