BUS 345, GVPT Course, Fall 2019
Final Paper: Individual Reflection on Your Global Virtual Project Team Experience
Purpose: As noted in Brewer (2015), reflection is a critical part of the experiential learning process. This is where you move from doing something to thinking about what the experience means for you. That is, reflecting on your experience is where more of the learning takes place. The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with an opportunity to reflect on your global virtual project team experience, and to identify your own individual areas of strength and opportunities for development.
Due Date: This paper must be submitted via Canvas on or before Tuesday, December 10th at 2:30pm. All papers must be submitted on time, via Turnitin. Final papers will not be accepted via email.
Instructions: Analyze your global virtual project team experience through global, virtual, and project teamwork lenses. In this individually-authored paper, please examine and reflect upon each of the following:
· One area of strength in your ability to work cross-culturally. Provide at least one example of how you contributed to your team’s ability to bridge cultures and to your cross-cultural effectiveness during your global virtual project team experience. Here you might identify area(s) where you have already developed a significant amount of global mindset. You might also draw upon strength(s) highlighted in your cultural intelligence assessment. Be sure to tie these back to your global virtual team experience.
· One area for development and growth in your ability to work cross-culturally. Provide at least one example of how you can improve your ability to bridge cultures and your cross-cultural effectiveness in future global virtual projects. Here you might identify an area where you would like to develop your global mindset. You might also draw upon an area where you scored lower on your cultural intelligence assessment. Be sure to tie these back to your global virtual team experience.
· One area of strength in your ability to work virtually. Provide at least one example of how you contributed to your team’s ability to function effectively while working through technology during your global virtual project team experience. What specific virtual skill have you developed and honed this semester? How did this positively impact your global virtual team experience?

Introduction
Nursing profession is one of the richest, most versatile, all-inclusive professions of all times. Sharifi, Adib-Hajbaghery, and Najafi, (2019) explains cultural competence is the cornerstone of the nursing practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe the details of how the student has achieved the outcomes including the assignments and experiences that led to the achievement of the outcomes upon program completion.
Holistic Approach in the Nursing Assessment
According to Gale (2020), since the COVID-19 pandemic, several patients, especially the older population has faced major challenges, such as social isolation; hence, it is imperative that nurses develop strategies to avert the injurious and deleterious complications associated with social isolation. “A new graduate nurse must consider establishing effective interventions to identify those individuals at risk” (Sharifi et al., 2019).
Cultural Values and Competence
One of the main barriers to effective patient care delivery is cultural diversity. Lack of cultural awareness may lead to poor patients’ outcomes.

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

from University Library home page: http://www.csulb.edu/library
16. Signature Page NOT in PDF
Create your signature page as
a separate document for the
committee members and
college designee to sign.
Do not include a signature
page as part of the PDF that
you upload to ProQuest
More information about the signature page is available in the PowerPoint
about University Guidelines Manual rules for front pages
17. Title Page Comes First
• The title page is the first page
of the manuscript
• The abstract is now a page
within the manuscript. Use
lowercase Roman numeral—
ii—for first page of the
abstract
• Include a listing for the
abstract in the table of
contents
• More information about the
order of pages is available at
the end of this slideshow and
in the PowerPoint about
University Guidelines Manual
format rules for front pages.
18. Table of Contents Simplified
• List the major sections of the
document in the table of
contents—the major sections use
all uppercase for the titles, for
example: ABSTRACT, LIST OF
TABLES, and LIST OF FIGURES
• Include the title of each chapter
beginning with a number and the
title of each appendix beginning
with a letter
• Use dot leaders at the end of each
item leading to the page numbers
aligned along the right margin
• NO subheads! NO headings! (in the
table of contents, that is)
• More information about the table
of contents is available in the
PowerPoint about University
Guidelines Manual format rules for
front pages
19. Font Requirements
Font Style
Times New Roman
Courier New
Font Size = 12 point
Exceptions:
Within a table, font style must be
consistent for all tables and font
size may be 10 to 12 point
Within a figure, font style is
unrestricted and font size must be
legible
Within the appendices, font style
and font size are unrestricted as
long as all text is legible
Times New Roman is the
most widely used font
style.
Courier New comes
in second.
20. Margin Requirements
Use 1 inch for ALL
margins—top, right,
left and bottom.
This is a major
change from
previous rules.
21. Spacing Within Text Requirements
Within the text of the
abstract, acknowledge-
ments and all chapters,
spacing at the end of
sentences and after
colons can be one space
or two spaces. The
spacing used should be
consistent throughout
the text.
The is a major change
from previous rules.
22. Paragraph Format Requirements
Text should be formatted as paragraphs
with consistent indentation for the first
line and left justification only.
It is recommended that, if bullet point lists and
numbered items are used in the text, they should be
used sparingly.
If bullet point lists or numbered lists are used, the default
indentation in Microsoft Word should be used; that is, numbered
or bulleted lines are indented one quarter inch and other lines are
indented one half inch so that the bullets or numbers stand out
from other lines.
23. Titles, Subheads and Captions—The
Bold New Look
Bold font is now used for all
titles—the title of your
manuscript as well as titles of
sections, titles of chapters, and
titles of tables
All subheads and figure captions
use bold font as well
This is a major change from
previous rules
More information about the
subheads is available in the
PowerPoint about University
Guidelines Manual format rules
for chapters, appendices and
references lists
24. Uniform Double Line Spacing Requirements
Spacing between lines of
text should be uniform with
no extra blank space
between paragraphs or
before and after titles and
subheads.
For instance, the line
spacing between these
sentences is not uniform.
To create uniform double
line spacing, select text
above and below the gap in
the text.
Then click on the Page Layout tab
and click on the little arrow
underneath the spacing settings to
bring up the Paragraph
dialog box.
In the Paragraph dialog box, set
Line spacing to “Double” and set
the Spacing boxes (marked Before
and After) to “0 pt”
25. Page Number Placement Requirements
Page numbers are centered at
the bottom of the page and
positioned between .75 inch
and 1 inch from bottom of
page
To change the position of page
numbers, go to the Insert tab
and click on Footer.
Then click on Edit Footer near
the bottom of the dialog box
that pops up.
A new menu bar, “Header &
Footer Tools,” will appear at
the top of the screen. Look for
the Footer from Bottom setting
and change setting to 0.8 inch.
While in the Header & Footer
Tools mode, you can select a
page number and right click
for a dialog box to change the
font style or font size of the
page number (which should be
the same as the text).
26. Order of Elements and Page Numbers Required
Title Page—NO PAGE NUMBER
Copyright Page (optional)—NO PAGE NUMBER
Abstract—Use lowercase Roman numerals (begin with ii) for page
numbers
Acknowledgements (optional)—Use lowercase Roman numerals
for page numbers

more appendices, begin with a title page with APPENDICES
centered on the page followed by title page for APPENDIX A
References List or Bibliography—Begins with a title page with
REFERENCES or BIBLIOGRAPHY or WORKS CITED centered on page
27. Turabian or Chicago Formatting
Numbers
Write out whole numbers one through one hundred,
rounded numbers, and any number beginning a sentence
Number exceptions
Percentages use numerals—3 percent
Decades can be written out or numerals—the nineties or
1990s—but write out centuries—nineteenth century
When referring to chapters, use lowercase “c” and
numerals—chapters 4 and 5
28. Turabian or Chicago Formatting
Citations
Turabian and Chicago cover two methods of citation—
bibliography (with footnotes, Turabian pp. 141-215)
and references (with parenthetical citations in text,
Turabian pp. 216-282). Be sure you are referring to
the correct method for examples of citation
formatting style
29. Turabian or Chicago Formatting
Footnotes
Place footnotes at the bottom of page—no endnotes
Footnote must begin on the page where superscript number
appears in the text. Create a page break if necessary.
Use 12 point font size for footnotes
