Student Name Professor White ENGL-1301-81015 18 November 2018 Sources for Final Paper “Employers Value Experience Over Grades, Data Suggests” by Kayla Canne contains statistics that reinforce my argument that having internship or work experience within a student’s field of study can increase his/her chances of getting hired after graduating. The author references a survey done by The Chronicle of Higher Education and American Public Media Marketplace which used a sample size of 704 employers. In other words, the data collected from the survey is large enough to be credible. I plan to use the article “The Value of Engaged Students” by Adam Peck and Michael Preston because it contains data from the National Association of Colleges and Employers which shows that a shockingly low percentage of employers surveyed believed that students were adequately prepared for their careers right after college. In other words, most employers believed new graduates are not prepared for the workforce. This article takes a deeper look into how valuable soft skills obtained outside of the classroom either through work experience or cocurricular activities are to potential employers. I will use this to explain the value of soft skills in addition to hands-on learning. The article “Effects of Business Internships on Students, Employers, and Higher Education Institutions: A Systematic Review” by Gisela Sanahuja Vélez and Gabriela Ribes Giner reviews the benefits of internships for business majors, which is consistently one of the most popular majors chosen by college students. The article also explores benefits that Commented [WJ1]: Student has included the name of the article and the author in the first sentence. Commented [WJ2]: She explains how she will use the information in the article Commented [WJ3]: What the claim of the article is (or what she plans to use from the article). employers receive from hiring a student who has completed an internship and benefits for universities that promote internships. I will use this article to explain how important internships can be for students in order to get a job after graduation. The article “Student Employment as a Model for Experiential Learning” by Jacquelyn H. Fede, Kathleen S. Gorman, and Maria E. Cimini explains how to gain work experience through a university job when an unpaid internship is not an option. I plan to use this article to explain that students who cannot partake in internships due to the need for a steady income are still able to learn valuable, transferable skills by being employed through the university they attend. These skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem solving led to greater employment opportunity for the students after graduating. I intend to use the article “Those Low Grades in College May Haunt Your Job Search” by David Koeppel as a counterargument to my claim that experience combined with G.

Ready for Work: 7 Ways to Better Prepare Millennials for Work
How can we better prepare millennials for the workforce? The U.S. unemployment rate for people aged 20 to 24 is nearly twice that of those aged 25 to 34, according to the bureau of labor statistics. While there’s been plenty of talk about the challenges millennials face as they enter the workforce, there’s been less discussion of how to actually fix the problem. In an attempt to move this conversation forward, Bentley University asked leaders in higher education and business how they would solve it. The outcome of those conversations, supported by survey research conducted by Bentley and KRC Research, is Bentley’s “Ready for Work: 7 Ways to Better Prepare Millennials for the Workplace.”

Graduating from an elite university can provide initial career advantages like increased access to jobs and higher starting salaries, but performance ultimately matters more. While prestigious degrees may get one's "foot in the door", meaningful work experience and skills are becoming equally or more important to employers. Recruiters should look beyond names on resumes and consider all candidates' qualifications and backgrounds to avoid biases and missed opportunities.
Questions
The document discusses important questions for potential college students to consider regarding career preparation and readiness for the workforce. It emphasizes that a college degree alone is not enough, and students should see "career" as an action verb requiring adaptability. It stresses gaining experience through internships or co-ops to be able to demonstrate to employers how one's skills solve their problems. The document also notes that many future jobs have yet to be created and an entrepreneurial mindset is important for navigating rapid changes in technology and the global economy.

This document discusses the importance of career planning for high school students. It recommends that students explore potential career choices through internships, job shadowing, volunteer work or talking to people in different fields. This helps students understand if they will be suited for and interested in various careers before committing to them. The document emphasizes that early career planning can help students choose the right path and be more successful and happy in their working lives.

Key Findings from Focus Groups with College Students
The document summarizes key findings from focus groups with current college students conducted by Hart Research Associates in September 2014. The focus groups explored students' understanding of their colleges' expected learning outcomes, feelings about post-college transition, and confidence in having skills for success after college. Key takeaways are that while students focus on degree requirements rather than skills, they recognize employers value both field-specific and cross-cutting skills. Students believe critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills are most important to employers. Though anxious about transitioning, students generally feel prepared with needed skills and knowledge.

UTSA AAC 2011 internship presentation
The document discusses internships from multiple perspectives. It defines an internship as experiential learning that integrates classroom knowledge with practical work experience under supervision, helping students transition to professional work while exploring career paths. Internships benefit students by enhancing skills and resumes, and often lead to job offers. Employers also benefit by scouting and evaluating potential hires with less risk. The document provides guidelines around paying interns according to Department of Labor criteria.
Test - CareerWorks intro presentation
The document discusses career development for seniors and the changing nature of careers. It notes that individuals now have 6-12 jobs and 3-5 careers over their lifetime. Career management is an ongoing responsibility. Employers seek skills like communication, teamwork, initiative and entrepreneurial skills. The career development model involves self-assessment, exploration, self-marketing and decision making. Experiential learning through internships is important for applying classroom knowledge. Career development services help students and faculty with career coaching, internships, job fairs and resources.
Research
The document discusses a study that examined whether there is a difference in grade point average (GPA) between working and non-working college students at Los Angeles City College (LACC). An independent samples t-test was conducted using a sample of 12 students, with 6 working students and 6 non-working students. The results showed no significant difference in GPA between the two groups. This suggests that, at LACC, working does not negatively impact student GPA on average. However, the study notes that more research is needed to examine additional factors that could influence GPA.

Academic Dishonesty in
Graduate Business Programs:
Prevalence, Causes, and
Proposed Action

Little is currently known about cheating among graduate business students. We collected
data from more than 5,000 business (mostly MBA) and nonbusiness graduate students at
32 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada during the 2002–2003 and
2003–2004 academic years to test a series of hypotheses regarding the prevalence of
graduate business student cheating and reasons why these students cheat. We found that
graduate business students cheat more than their nonbusiness-student peers. Correlation
results found cheating to be associated with perceived peer behavior, as well as the
perceived certainty of being reported by a peer, and the understanding and acceptance
of academic integrity policies by students and faculty. But, regression analysis results
suggest that perceived peer behavior has the largest effect. Drawing from these findings
and past research on undergraduate students, we propose strategies that business schools
and faculty can use to promote academic integrity in graduate business programs.

“I think the WorldCom and Enron scandals
point to the need for character in our busi-
ness schools. If the driver at the helm is un-
ethical, so shall the crew be.”
—Comments of an MBA student at a large
U.S. university.
As this student suggests, high-profile ethics scan-
dals have once again focused attention on ethics
and cheating in business. Some business schools
are responding by expanding their attention to
ethics in their curricula, and some are attempting
to make judgments about an applicant’s ethical
inclinations in admissions processes (Harker,
2005). In addition, some schools are promoting ac-
ademic integrity as part of their strategy to en-
hance the ethical development of their students.
These efforts related to academic integrity com-
monly include lectures during orientation ses-
sions, website pages and chapters in student
handbooks devoted to ethical standards, and ad-
monishments in course syllabi. Although such
techniques have been found to be effective in un-
dergraduate schools (Baird, 1980), little is known
about their effective.

These are the slides from the 1st Annual Symposium on College Internship Research held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Sept 28, 2018. The program featured an introduction by Center for College-Workforce Transitions Director Matthew Hora, followed by four sessions on new empirical research and a practitioner-oriented talk.

Qualitative research on students and employers needs and interests
The document reports on qualitative research conducted with students and employers in 5 pilot areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina to understand their needs and interests regarding career preparation and the transition from school to work. Interviews found that students feel unprepared for the job market and lack guidance, while employers seek candidates with practical skills and a strong work ethic above educational qualifications. The research aims to inform a new career management program being developed by the Youth Employment Project to better support students' transition to employment.
This is the future of college - FastCompany 2015
It's not the death of higher education, but college as we've known it will be forced to undergo some dramatic changes in the next decade.
"Experts say that within the next 10 to 15 years, the college experience will become rapidly unbundled. Lecture halls will disappear, the role of the professor will transform, and technology will help make a college education much more attainable than it is today, and much more valuable. Indeed, a number of institutions may shut down. But those that survive will be innovative and efficient."
College Career-Center Directors Say Students Are Unprepared for a Job Search
More than three-quarters of career center directors believe that students are unprepared for job searches because they underestimate the time and effort required. While about half of directors said students are prepared for their first jobs after graduation, less than a quarter said students have the necessary tools and skills to find a job. Career centers see too few students taking advantage of their services like resume reviews and practice interviews. Directors view a lack of support from faculty and administrators as a barrier to getting more students involved in career center programs and services.

Professor and Class,
As the cost of living continues to increase, the longer individuals are needing to work. Therefore, individuals are working past the retirement age to continue to collect a steady income that will help them pay their bills effectively. Some underlying situations that contribute to discrimination by age is the details presented in a job qualification. Many employers expect individuals to have a bachelor or master’s degree, which is fine. However, many baby boomers received their degrees many years ago that detailed outdated information than what is presented now within a college course. Employers will need to reconsider the word format when drawing up a job qualification and maybe detailed individuals to have certifications because baby boomers could take steady training and classes to obtain certifications to stay up to date on present issues within their field of business. I believe employers should consider having a multi-generation leadership team because this could increase diversity and inclusion and have employees feel comfortable that there is opportunity to grow regardless of age. Also, employers should train employees regularly as technology continues to expand. That way many baby boomers are feeling left out when new technology is presented, and they have the choose whether to learn and continue to grow or retire due to the new demand of technology. Either way employers have to adhere to the Title VII and not discriminate on any employee or potential hire due to age but rather look into their qualifications, job performance and skill set to determine the appropriate candidate for a job.

At my job there is a power struggle between the old timers and the new administration. The old timers are vested, know their jobs and voice their opinions without fear of losing their jobs. The new administration is mid-thirties with little experience and instead of looking to the seasoned employees for wisdom and protocol, they overlook them, implement new technology without training and encourage them to retire early. When new positions open they require technical knowledge that most older candidates wouldn't be familiar with, require arduous activities, expensive family health care plans and offer low salaries that experienced candidates would reject. It's all a ploy to hire younger workers that will follow directions unchallenged. The down side is that our turnover occurs at about a year and a half for new hires. I believe older employees value stability and feeling fulfilled at work. Younger generations are ok with bouncing from job to job frequently. I think employers can diversify their hiring by putting focus on ability to complete tasks rather than assuming age is a liability. Taking the date of birth off applications is also a way to reduce potential discrimination. Also implementing some diversity training that shows value for older employees and identifying how different age groups co ...

Here is the passage:
Two key advantages of online learning are flexibility and convenience. But online learning is a lot more challenging than it may seem. So, what makes a successful online learner? First, the online learner must make sure he or she is ready to succeed. Online learning can sound so perfect that some students start with an unrealistic vision. In reality, online courses require just as much, if not more, time and energy as traditional classroom courses. Taking an online course also requires one to have specific computer skills and learning strategies in order to succeed. Dyer believes the most successful students are both efficient at managing their time and also self-motivated.
Particularly in the graduate school setting, many students have a lot of things on their plate other than college— a part-time (or full-time) job, a few kids to take care of, or any number of responsibilities. In their book,
Professors' Guide: Secrets of College Success
, Jacobs and Hyman suggest to students "to divide up your week, and your day, into different and nonoverlapping time." For example, if an online learner works at a job during the day, then the online learner will want to schedule study time in the evenings. If on Tuesday and Thursday the online learner’s child has soccer practice in the evening, the online learner will not be able to write much of his or her paper on those two days. "The key to success when you have multiple commitments is compartmentalization: keeping each activity separate, and not letting one zone bleed into another."

Authentic assessment
Authentic assessment requires students to apply what they've learned to new situations that mimic real-world challenges. It contrasts with traditional tests that assess isolated skills and facts through multiple choice questions. Authentic tasks are complex, open-ended problems that replicate real-world contexts and constraints. They provide direct evidence of a student's ability to use knowledge and skills effectively. While more valid than traditional tests, authentic assessments may be more difficult for instructors to develop and score.
The Effect of Educational Factors on Graduate Earnings
This document is a student paper that investigates the effect of educational factors on graduate earnings. It summarizes previous research showing a positive relationship between measures of institutional quality (like student-to-faculty ratio and expenditures) and post-graduate earnings. However, the paper notes that affordability and geographic limitations may be more significant determinants of success. It plans to estimate earnings using factors of institutional quality grounded in human capital theory, while controlling for issues of student selection bias.

Discussion #1
The stakeholder role I am assuming is the business leader. I am in support of increasing curricular focus, funding, and new hiring for professional and technical fields. In Document Set2 for this case study, it states there are 3.3 million job openings in the U.S., many going unfilled for months on end, as roughly half of employers now say they’re having a hard time finding qualified workers to hire, especially in technical fields. This information was retrieved from
White House Jobs Council
which is based on a reliable source. This information is extremely relevant to the issue because the solution to producing qualified workers is to equip students with the necessary skills and abilities. Those skills and abilities should align with the expectations established by industry leaders.
According to the White House Jobs Council in 2012
,
America is losing its position of global educational leadership in ways that could put our future living standards and business
competiveness
at risk.
This new information informs this position because without a change in focus to technical education those unfilled jobs will continue to increase.
In the PBS
Newshour
video, it gives examples of students who graduated with liberal arts degrees.
All of them had a difficult time gaining employment directly related to their field of study after graduation. In one instance, there was a graduate who majored in anthropology and he now washes trash cans part-time. In another instance, there was a graduate who majored in history with a minor in political science who is a substitute teacher one day a week. Both of the graduates agree, that they do not regret going to college although they wished they would have pursued som.
Are Students Prepared for the Workplace
Business leaders claim that the generation of students entering the workplace lacks many critical "soft" skills like problem solving and critical thinking, abilities that contribute to an individual's and an organization's success. Explore Junior Achievement's new proposed model that links a foundation of recognized knowledge, skills and attitudes to measurable engagement and achievement activities. The application of this model can potentially lead to a student who is credentialed to be "workforce ready," fully prepared to contribute meaningfully upon entering a 21st century global workplace.

Competitive advantage-with-a-human-dimension-from-lifelong-learning-vf
This document discusses the need for organizations and individuals to embrace lifelong employability in response to rapid changes in technology and the economy. The key points are:
1) Automation is already transforming many jobs and skills are becoming outdated faster, requiring continuous learning over a career.
2) Traditional training methods are often not effective for adult learning and companies need to leverage research on learning to develop more tailored, ongoing programs.
3) Degrees are not always necessary and alternative credentials from coding bootcamps or other programs should be recognized.
4) Companies should invest in developing the skills of frontline workers through tuition assistance to improve retention.

Jamestown College is my selected institution. My program evaluation has yielded three areas of recommendation for continuous improvement. It is suggested that five more sections of introductory-level engineering classes are added into the curriculum in order to improve graduation career prospects. According to the text, “in 2012, 88 percent of respondents to the freshman survey conducted by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program indicated that “to be able to get a better job” was a very important reason for deciding to go to college …” (Banta, 2015, p. 145) and so we see that career prospects are important to students. It is recommended that the Mathematics department roll out a strategic enrollment plan to increase the number of women and underrepresented minority groups to the major. Lastly, it is recommended that the College create a stronger workforce development program by introducing an applied project, “…allowing students to practice problem-solving skills, communication skills, and if they are working in a group, teamwork skills as well” (Banta, 2015, p. 159).
It will cost an average of $62,000 per year to hire a Ph.D. level Engineering adjunct professor to teach five sections of 100-level Engineering courses. We have learned in previous modules that careers in Mathematics are looking for some working knowledge of Engineering and the curriculum, as it stands right now, does not offer that.
The recommendation to increase enrollment is to specifically recruit women and underrepresented minority groups to the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics majors, also known as STEM. Using the model described in Information Systems Education Journal, this growth in enrollment should come from a combination of faculty outreach to the community through classroom visits to community colleges, and by appointing these newly recruited students to a formal grant-funded “scholars” program. My recommendation would be for Jamestown College to hire a contract grant writer to the Mathematics program for $35,000 per year with no benefits. This grant writer should work to secure a grant from the National Science Foundation to fund a “scholars” program which will, “provide guidance and continued support to women and underrepresented minorities from the beginning of their experiences in higher education until they reach their goal of a career in science, technology, and mathematics” (Tupper, D.H., 2005, p. 4).
Enhancing workforce development through an applied project is recommended for the Mathematics major at Jamestown College. “Because applied projects include a product or report that is shared with clients, clients are generally involved in project evaluation” (Banta, 2015, p. 159 ). I believe that forming employer-partner relationships could be done by hosting some “lunch and learn” style events on campus, where employers would come to campus for faculty to present the offer of their stude ...
Career Center PLAN BOOK
This document summarizes research conducted on the Grand Valley State University Career Center. Secondary research found that effective career centers provide services like career counseling, resume help, job search resources, and networking opportunities. A focus group of GVSU students found that while they were generally familiar with campus, their current jobs did not align with their career goals. The GVSU Career Center offers standard services but needs strategies to increase student awareness and ensure students feel adequately supported.

Chapter 12 – From the chapter reading, we learned that e-mail is a major area of focus for information governance (IG) efforts, and has become the most common business software application and the backbone of business communications today. In addition, the authors provided details to support their position by providing 2013 survey results from 2,400 corporate e-mail users from a global perspective. The results indicated that two-thirds of the respondents stated that e-mail was their favorite form of business communication which surpassed not only social media but also telephone and in-person contact.

UTSA AAC 2011 internship presentation
The document discusses internships from multiple perspectives. It defines an internship as experiential learning that integrates classroom knowledge with practical work experience under supervision, helping students transition to professional work while exploring career paths. Internships benefit students by enhancing skills and resumes, and often lead to job offers. Employers also benefit by scouting and evaluating potential hires with less risk. The document provides guidelines around paying interns according to Department of Labor criteria.
Test - CareerWorks intro presentation
The document discusses career development for seniors and the changing nature of careers. It notes that individuals now have 6-12 jobs and 3-5 careers over their lifetime. Career management is an ongoing responsibility. Employers seek skills like communication, teamwork, initiative and entrepreneurial skills. The career development model involves self-assessment, exploration, self-marketing and decision making. Experiential learning through internships is important for applying classroom knowledge. Career development services help students and faculty with career coaching, internships, job fairs and resources.
Research
The document discusses a study that examined whether there is a difference in grade point average (GPA) between working and non-working college students at Los Angeles City College (LACC). An independent samples t-test was conducted using a sample of 12 students, with 6 working students and 6 non-working students. The results showed no significant difference in GPA between the two groups. This suggests that, at LACC, working does not negatively impact student GPA on average. However, the study notes that more research is needed to examine additional factors that could influence GPA.

Academic Dishonesty in
Graduate Business Programs:
Prevalence, Causes, and
Proposed Action

Little is currently known about cheating among graduate business students. We collected
data from more than 5,000 business (mostly MBA) and nonbusiness graduate students at
32 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada during the 2002–2003 and
2003–2004 academic years to test a series of hypotheses regarding the prevalence of
graduate business student cheating and reasons why these students cheat. We found that
graduate business students cheat more than their nonbusiness-student peers. Correlation
results found cheating to be associated with perceived peer behavior, as well as the
perceived certainty of being reported by a peer, and the understanding and acceptance
of academic integrity policies by students and faculty. But, regression analysis results
suggest that perceived peer behavior has the largest effect. Drawing from these findings
and past research on undergraduate students, we propose strategies that business schools
and faculty can use to promote academic integrity in graduate business programs.

“I think the WorldCom and Enron scandals
point to the need for character in our busi-
ness schools. If the driver at the helm is un-
ethical, so shall the crew be.”
—Comments of an MBA student at a large
U.S. university.
As this student suggests, high-profile ethics scan-
dals have once again focused attention on ethics
and cheating in business. Some business schools
are responding by expanding their attention to
ethics in their curricula, and some are attempting
to make judgments about an applicant’s ethical
inclinations in admissions processes (Harker,
2005). In addition, some schools are promoting ac-
ademic integrity as part of their strategy to en-
hance the ethical development of their students.
These efforts related to academic integrity com-
monly include lectures during orientation ses-
sions, website pages and chapters in student
handbooks devoted to ethical standards, and ad-
monishments in course syllabi. Although such
techniques have been found to be effective in un-
dergraduate schools (Baird, 1980), little is known
about their effective.

Qualitative research on students and employers needs and interests
The document reports on qualitative research conducted with students and employers in 5 pilot areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina to understand their needs and interests regarding career preparation and the transition from school to work. Interviews found that students feel unprepared for the job market and lack guidance, while employers seek candidates with practical skills and a strong work ethic above educational qualifications. The research aims to inform a new career management program being developed by the Youth Employment Project to better support students' transition to employment.
This is the future of college - FastCompany 2015
It's not the death of higher education, but college as we've known it will be forced to undergo some dramatic changes in the next decade.
"Experts say that within the next 10 to 15 years, the college experience will become rapidly unbundled. Lecture halls will disappear, the role of the professor will transform, and technology will help make a college education much more attainable than it is today, and much more valuable. Indeed, a number of institutions may shut down. But those that survive will be innovative and efficient."
College Career-Center Directors Say Students Are Unprepared for a Job Search
More than three-quarters of career center directors believe that students are unprepared for job searches because they underestimate the time and effort required. While about half of directors said students are prepared for their first jobs after graduation, less than a quarter said students have the necessary tools and skills to find a job. Career centers see too few students taking advantage of their services like resume reviews and practice interviews. Directors view a lack of support from faculty and administrators as a barrier to getting more students involved in career center programs and services.

Professor and Class,
As the cost of living continues to increase, the longer individuals are needing to work. Therefore, individuals are working past the retirement age to continue to collect a steady income that will help them pay their bills effectively. Some underlying situations that contribute to discrimination by age is the details presented in a job qualification. Many employers expect individuals to have a bachelor or master’s degree, which is fine. However, many baby boomers received their degrees many years ago that detailed outdated information than what is presented now within a college course. Employers will need to reconsider the word format when drawing up a job qualification and maybe detailed individuals to have certifications because baby boomers could take steady training and classes to obtain certifications to stay up to date on present issues within their field of business. I believe employers should consider having a multi-generation leadership team because this could increase diversity and inclusion and have employees feel comfortable that there is opportunity to grow regardless of age. Also, employers should train employees regularly as technology continues to expand. That way many baby boomers are feeling left out when new technology is presented, and they have the choose whether to learn and continue to grow or retire due to the new demand of technology. Either way employers have to adhere to the Title VII and not discriminate on any employee or potential hire due to age but rather look into their qualifications, job performance and skill set to determine the appropriate candidate for a job.

At my job there is a power struggle between the old timers and the new administration. The old timers are vested, know their jobs and voice their opinions without fear of losing their jobs. The new administration is mid-thirties with little experience and instead of looking to the seasoned employees for wisdom and protocol, they overlook them, implement new technology without training and encourage them to retire early. When new positions open they require technical knowledge that most older candidates wouldn't be familiar with, require arduous activities, expensive family health care plans and offer low salaries that experienced candidates would reject. It's all a ploy to hire younger workers that will follow directions unchallenged. The down side is that our turnover occurs at about a year and a half for new hires. I believe older employees value stability and feeling fulfilled at work. Younger generations are ok with bouncing from job to job frequently. I think employers can diversify their hiring by putting focus on ability to complete tasks rather than assuming age is a liability. Taking the date of birth off applications is also a way to reduce potential discrimination. Also implementing some diversity training that shows value for older employees and identifying how different age groups co ...

Here is the passage:
Two key advantages of online learning are flexibility and convenience. But online learning is a lot more challenging than it may seem. So, what makes a successful online learner? First, the online learner must make sure he or she is ready to succeed. Online learning can sound so perfect that some students start with an unrealistic vision. In reality, online courses require just as much, if not more, time and energy as traditional classroom courses. Taking an online course also requires one to have specific computer skills and learning strategies in order to succeed. Dyer believes the most successful students are both efficient at managing their time and also self-motivated.
Particularly in the graduate school setting, many students have a lot of things on their plate other than college— a part-time (or full-time) job, a few kids to take care of, or any number of responsibilities. In their book,
Professors' Guide: Secrets of College Success
, Jacobs and Hyman suggest to students "to divide up your week, and your day, into different and nonoverlapping time." For example, if an online learner works at a job during the day, then the online learner will want to schedule study time in the evenings. If on Tuesday and Thursday the online learner’s child has soccer practice in the evening, the online learner will not be able to write much of his or her paper on those two days. "The key to success when you have multiple commitments is compartmentalization: keeping each activity separate, and not letting one zone bleed into another."

Authentic assessment
Authentic assessment requires students to apply what they've learned to new situations that mimic real-world challenges. It contrasts with traditional tests that assess isolated skills and facts through multiple choice questions. Authentic tasks are complex, open-ended problems that replicate real-world contexts and constraints. They provide direct evidence of a student's ability to use knowledge and skills effectively. While more valid than traditional tests, authentic assessments may be more difficult for instructors to develop and score.
The Effect of Educational Factors on Graduate Earnings
This document is a student paper that investigates the effect of educational factors on graduate earnings. It summarizes previous research showing a positive relationship between measures of institutional quality (like student-to-faculty ratio and expenditures) and post-graduate earnings. However, the paper notes that affordability and geographic limitations may be more significant determinants of success. It plans to estimate earnings using factors of institutional quality grounded in human capital theory, while controlling for issues of student selection bias.

Discussion #1
The stakeholder role I am assuming is the business leader. I am in support of increasing curricular focus, funding, and new hiring for professional and technical fields. In Document Set2 for this case study, it states there are 3.3 million job openings in the U.S., many going unfilled for months on end, as roughly half of employers now say they’re having a hard time finding qualified workers to hire, especially in technical fields. This information was retrieved from
White House Jobs Council
which is based on a reliable source. This information is extremely relevant to the issue because the solution to producing qualified workers is to equip students with the necessary skills and abilities. Those skills and abilities should align with the expectations established by industry leaders.
According to the White House Jobs Council in 2012
,
America is losing its position of global educational leadership in ways that could put our future living standards and business
competiveness
at risk.
This new information informs this position because without a change in focus to technical education those unfilled jobs will continue to increase.

All of them had a difficult time gaining employment directly related to their field of study after graduation. In one instance, there was a graduate who majored in anthropology and he now washes trash cans part-time. In another instance, there was a graduate who majored in history with a minor in political science who is a substitute teacher one day a week. Both of the graduates agree, that they do not regret going to college although they wished they would have pursued som.
Are Students Prepared for the Workplace
Business leaders claim that the generation of students entering the workplace lacks many critical "soft" skills like problem solving and critical thinking, abilities that contribute to an individual's and an organization's success. Explore Junior Achievement's new proposed model that links a foundation of recognized knowledge, skills and attitudes to measurable engagement and achievement activities. The application of this model can potentially lead to a student who is credentialed to be "workforce ready," fully prepared to contribute meaningfully upon entering a 21st century global workplace.

Competitive advantage-with-a-human-dimension-from-lifelong-learning-vf
This document discusses the need for organizations and individuals to embrace lifelong employability in response to rapid changes in technology and the economy. The key points are:
1) Automation is already transforming many jobs and skills are becoming outdated faster, requiring continuous learning over a career.
2) Traditional training methods are often not effective for adult learning and companies need to leverage research on learning to develop more tailored, ongoing programs.
3) Degrees are not always necessary and alternative credentials from coding bootcamps or other programs should be recognized.
4) Companies should invest in developing the skills of frontline workers through tuition assistance to improve retention.

Strengths-based nursing (SBN) is an approach to care in which eigh.docx
Strengths-based nursing (SBN) is an approach to care in which eight core values which guide nursing action, thereby promoting empowerment, hope and self-efficacy. In caring for patients and families, the nurse focuses on their inner and outer strengths-that is, on what patients and families do that best helps them deal with problems and minimize deficits. SBN creating environments and experiences that better enable patients and their families to take control over their lives and health care decisions.
SBN respects a person's self-knowledge and values choice and self-determination, even though there are always limits to the choices available and a person's ability to act in her or his own interest is affected by circumstances, knowledge, and predisposition. it is as important to consider patients' deficits as it is to consider their strengths; both are essential aspects of the whole person. The current health care system is changing into a new system that focuses more on community-based and primary care with the hospitals forming the pillar of the health care system although they are not the primary service (Lind and Smith, 2008). This change has brought about a strength based nursing care which is aimed at developing an individual’s strength to encourage and help in healing. From the perspective of SBN, the nurse's role is to help patients achieve their goals in the healthiest possible way.
SBN sees the nurse's role not as deciding for others but rather as listening attentively and deeply in order to clarify, elaborate, explain, provide information, make suggestions, connect people with resources, and advocate for patients and their families so they may hear their own voices and make their voices heard. Strengths-Based Care (SBC) requires that the nurse use a process to uncover the person’s concerns, get to know the patient and members of the family as individuals, and discover their strengths in order to plan and carry out nursing care.
Nurses require strong nursing leadership to enable them practice strength-based nursing care. Strength based nursing care has a prospective of becoming a game changer in nursing and also revolutionize healthcare. In this approach the focus is redirected from shortages and crisis to use of strength of resources to deal with problems and overcome any shortcomings (Gottlieb, 2012). The medical model need not be a deficit model. The two are not mutually exclusive. Physicians can diagnose and treat problems and also have a strengths perspective and practice whole-person care.

Stratification and Prejudice in Current Events
The purpose of this assignment is to explore stratification and prejudice in current events. Despite great advances towards equality between the races and genders, racial and gender discrimination, as well as class stratification remain serious social problems. To conclude this course, you will use the news media to discover current social issues with regards to race and gender.
To complete this assignment, perform the following tasks:
Using newspapers, news websites, or news magazines, select three current events (within the last six months) that reflect our studies on stratification. One event should represent racial issues, one gender issues, and one class issues. All three should demonstrate discrimination and/or stratification in American society.
Using your research, describe the current events and how they are reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification.
Analyze the events and apply the lecture and text to the news articles. What theories of stratification apply? Are the current events representative of the historical trends of racial, gender, and class discrimination and or/stratification? What solutions, if any, should be applied to these current events?
In your discussion, apply your personal experiences and observations to the current events.
How do you feel that the media perpetuates discrimination and/or stratification based on race, gender, and class? Support your ideas with concepts from the text and/or appropriate outside resources.
Provide a minimum of three references and apply the correct APA standards in the format of text, citations, and references. Your paper should include a title page and reference. Your paper should be at least five pages in length, not including the title and reference pages.
Assignment 1 Grading Criteria

Street Code
Consider this quote from Robert Sampson and William Julius Wilson in
Toward a Theory of Race, Crime, and Urban Inequality:
Shaw and McKay (1942) argued that three structural factors -- low economic status, ethnic heterogeneity, and residential mobility -- led to the disruption of local community social organization, which in turn accounted for variations in crime and delinquency rates... Arguably the most significant aspect of Shaw and McKay's research, however, was their demonstration that high rates of delinquency persisted in certain areas over many years, regardless of population turnover. More than any other, this finding led them to reject individualistic explanations of delinquency and focus instead on the processes by which delinquent and criminal patterns of behavior were transmitted across generations in areas of social disorganization and weak social controls (1942, 1969).
This is the "macrosocial" view that Sampson and Wilson discuss, that crime cannot be attributed solely to individual-level (microsocial) factors. Thinking back over the theories we've studied this term, what society-level factors do you think affect crime? And why would such factors impact different races/ethnicities differently? Is it differences in social disorganization (Shaw & McKay)? Is it the "code of the street" (Anderson)? Limited access to legitimate coping mechanisms when faced with strain (Merton, Agnew)? Get creative!

Strengths and Barriers to Program Implementation
As you design your program, it is important to anticipate potential issues related to program implementation. Careful forethought can help you to minimize unnecessary stumbling blocks during implementation.
There are strengths and barriers associated with every program. What do you see as the key factors to be aware of for your program? Brainstorm key terms such as
community, culture, environment, organization, client, bias,
and
ethics
. Give consideration to the factors you come up with
(along with those in the Learning Resources)
as you proceed with this Discussion.
To prepare:
Review the information presented in the Learning Resources. What are some of the factors (e.g., community, organization, environmental, ethical) that you consider strengths or facilitators for your program (breast cancer in African American women in the USA)?
Which ones do you think may pose a challenge for your program(breast cancer in African American women in the USA)?
How do these barriers need to be addressed in your program design?
How might the strengths be leveraged to help overcome the barriers?

Strengths: 1. Large Enrollment 2. Flexible class schedules
1. The Apollo Group is the largest provider of higher education for adults seeking an associates’, bachelors’, or masters’ degree. The University of Phoenix has over 400,000 students enrolled in one of their many degree programs. The revenues of the Apollo Group have increased by $4.9 billion and its profits increased to $553 million since 1996. 2. The Apollo Group offers classes that are catered around the schedules of working adults. Classes are offered year round with minimal breaks between semesters. Most students take one class twice a week for five to six weeks in the evenings. Classes are also offered online for students who do not wish to participate in the traditional classroom learning environment.
Weaknesses: 1. Accreditation 2. Lack of Qualified Instructors
1. The University of Phoenix (UOP) is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. This accreditation is sufficient in most states, but some states require other accreditations from that particular state. The Bachelors’ and Masters’ programs in business offered by UOP are not accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The AACSB is the most highly recognized accreditation in the industry. By not receiving this accreditation, students who receive degrees from UOP may not be considered for positions in the business industry. 2. UOP utilizes facilitators to facilitate or lead seminar style classrooms. Most classes are comprised of 10-15 students and those students are broken up into groups of 5. Most assignments are group assignments. The class facilitator leads the discussions and guides the class through the curriculum. The facilitators are the instructors for the class. UOP does not hire or employ professors with Doctoral Degrees in order to keep their labor cost down. When a college does not employ doctoral level instructors the quality of education is impaired.
Opportunities: 1. Perceived as a low quality diploma mill. 2. Lack of doctoral staff
These two opportunities for the University of Phoenix are intertwined. The degree programs at UOP are viewed as low quality diploma mills because they do not employ a large number of doctoral level instructors on their campuses. The class room curriculum is developed by the class facilitators. Those facilitators are not considered qualified in the education arena to develop such curriculums for bachelor and master level degree programs. Therefore, UOP is viewed as a for profit educational college that enrolls students in a degree program that does not equip them to handle the challenges they will face in the real world. It is a weakness, because in some states the graduates will not considered for a position in their field of study because UOP is not accredited.
Threats: 1. Competition. 2. Regulatory Issues
1. UOP faces more competition now as more public and private sector universities are now offering adult degree programs and online.
Street artist Shepard Fairey, who was graduated from the Rhode I.docx
Street artist Shepard Fairey, who was graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, and the nation’s largest news wire service, The Associated Press (A.P.), sued each other over who owns the right to use and sell a well-recognized photograph image of President Obama. The A.P. claims that Fairey is profiting from a photo taken by a freelance photographer, Mannie Garcia, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Fairey used the photograph as inspiration for his familiar “HOPE” poster, which became an unofficial symbol of the Obama presidential campaign.
Fairey claims that he simply used the A.P. photo “as a visual reference” and that his poster transforms the image in Garcia’s picture into a brand-new work of art with its own copyright protection.
The U.S. Copyright Code gives the creator of a photograph (or any kind of creative work, including movies, books, articles and songs) – the legal right to limit how other people can use the photo.
Background
A photograph, like any piece of creative work, becomes protected by copyright as soon as it is “fixed.” That means, as soon as the image is recorded in the photographer’s camera. The photo does not have to be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office or marked with the (c) copyright symbol to be legally protected.
When a photo is copyrighted, that means that the owner has the right to decide how other people use it. A wire service like The Associated Press makes its money by charging newspapers, magazines, broadcasters, and websites a fee to use its photographs. So, the A.P. is very protective about making sure that people are not duplicating or reselling its photos without a license and paying.
Photos are protected by copyright even when they are placed on the Web in a way that makes it very easy to duplicate them. An owner does not give up his copyright just by displaying the photo on a website.
If a person is accused of violating copyright law (“copyright infringement”), he can defend himself by proving that he made a “
fair use
.” The federal copyright law recognizes a “fair use” defense to allow people to make limited use of other people’s creative work, as long as they add some new creative value or meaning. Common examples of fair use are sampling a phrase from a popular song recording as part of a new song, or showing a brief clip from a movie to go along with a movie review.
To decide whether someone’s use of another person’s creative work is or isn’t a fair use, there are four points to consider:
Section 107 of the Copyright Act
defines fair use as follows:
[T]he fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factor.

STREAM MORPHOLOGY
Overview
Students will construct a physical scale model of a stream system
to help understand how streams and rivers shape the solid earth
(i.e., the landscape). Students will perform several experiments
to determine streamflow properties under different conditions.
They will apply the scientific method, testing their own scenarios
regarding human impacts to river systems.
Outcomes
• Design a stream table model to analyze the different
characteristics of streamflow.
• Explain the effects of watersheds on the surrounding
environment in terms of the biology, water quality, and economic
importance of streams.
• Identify different stream features based on their geological
formation due to erosion and deposition.
• Develop an experiment to test how human actions can modify
stream morphology in ways that may, in turn, impact riparian
ecosystems.

Background
A watershed is an area of land that drains
any form of precipitation into the earth’s water
bodies (see Figure 1). The entire land area that
forms this connection of atmospheric water to
the water on Earth, whether it is rain flowing into
a lake or snow soaking into the groundwater, is
considered a watershed.
Water covers approximately 70% of the earth’s
surface. However, about two-thirds of all water
is impaired to some degree, with less than
1% being accessible, consumable freshwater.
Keeping watersheds pristine is the leading
method for providing clean drinking water to
communities, and it is a high priority worldwide.
However, with increased development and
people flocking toward waterfront regions to live,
downstream communities are becoming increas-
ingly polluted every day.

Why urgency—not panic—is the key
to getting ahead in a recession
John Kotter got an enviable—if
unintentional—endorsement when
then-candidiitc liarack Obama began
inserting the phrase it sense ofurgeney
into his comments about the economy.
A Sense ofUrgeney (Harvard Business
Press, 2008) is the title of Kotter s
latest book on fostering change in
organizations—a subject the Harvard
Business School professor has owned
since publishing the seminal Leading
Change, in 1996.
Kotter believes there arc two kinds
of urgency—and, like cholesterol, one
is good and one is bad. The good kind
is characterized by constant scrutiny of
external promise and peril. It involves
relentless focus on doing only those
things that move the business forward in
the marketplace and on doing them right
now, if not sooner. 'I'he bad kind—to
which many companies have recently
succumbed^—is panic driven and charac-
terized by breathless activity that winds
up prodticing nothing demonstrably new,
Kotter advises leaders to stamp out
the bad urgency, which demoralizes and
drains people, and use the^—tiare we say
it?—opportunity of the economic crisis
to remake their organizations with a lean
and hungry look. And he encourages
them to sustain that newfound urgency
even when flush times return. Editor-at-
large I.eigh Fiuchanan spoke with Kotter
about his urgent call to urgency.
Samue! Johnson said nothing focuses
the mind like a hanging. Has that
happened with the recession? Has
it focused the minds of company
leaders and created the sense of
urgency you advocate?
1
Relentless Leadership guru John Kotter, author of 4 Sense oí Urgency,
says you should be doing something right now, today this very moment,
to move your company forward.
I wish that it had. Many companies
probably think they're responding with
urgency, and there are certainly a lot ot
people running aroujid tr)ing to come up
with solutions. But most ofthat activity is
going to be ineffectual, because it is driven
by a fear of losing. It's not that gut-level
determination to win and to make abso-
lutely sure that they do something every
single day to keep pushing that goal
forward. That's true urgency.
How can you distinguish good urgency
fronn bad urgency?
There are lots of signs of false urgency.
Frenetic activity. Everyone is exhausted,
working 14-hour days. One red flag is
how difficult it is to schedule a meeting.
With true urgency, people leave lots of
white space on their calendars, because
they recognize that the important
stuft^—the stuff they need to deal with
immediately—is going to happen. If

Strategies for Change
Week 7: "The Hard Side of Change Management"
Change is a challenge. This isn’t news. We focus on all the elements that may stand in our way such as human resistance, poor leadership, or lack of motivation. But sometimes we get so wrapped up in these soft elements of change that we overlook the nuts and bolts, the hard elements that are important to making change successful.
Initial Post Instructions
After reading “The Hard Side of Change Management” this week, it will be fruitful to explore additional theories of change management. To prepare for the discussion forum this week, conduct some research on other theories: complexity theory; Kurt Lewin's Force Field Analysis (Unfreeze, Change, Freezing); Morgan's
Images of Organization
or related articles.
Compare and contrast these models with Kotter's
8 Steps to Change
. At this point, refrain from personal opinion - focus on an objective analysis of the theories themselves.
Follow Up Posts, 75-150 words minimum
After your initial post, read over the items posted by your peers and your instructor. Select at least two different posts, and address the following items in your responses:
i. Did your peer’s assessment of the different theories offer new insights to you?
ii. What questions remain in your mind after reading their analyses of these change model? Invite further conversation about these theories.
Patricia McCarthy
Kurt Lewin’s Force Field Analysis involved three steps, unfreezing, moving and refreezing. Lewin’s three concepts considered the ideas of shaping and incorporating a way to deal with the investigating, comprehension and achieving change at the organizational and societal level. The unfreezing stage was based on that the balance should be destabilized (unfrozen) before old conduct can be disposed of (unlearned) and new conduct effectively embraced. Under the moving stage one should try to consider every one of the powers at work and distinguish and assess, on a testing premise, all the accessible alternatives. In the final stage refreezing new conduct must be, somewhat, compatible with the remainder of the conduct, character and condition of the person or it will just prompt another round of disconfirmation.
Morgan’s tactic was based on the principle that organization concepts depended on the understanding of images of the organization. Metaphors can be viewed as ideas which can support the understanding of an organization. Morgan’s ideas “metaphors” are a machine, an organism, an information processor (brain), a culture, a political system, a psychic prison, a flux and transformation, an instrument of domination. Morgan’s metaphors have filled in as methods for translating hierarchical issues, as beginning stages for research, and as edges for characterizing writing in the field. The metaphors also include various theories and means of making sense of organizations while some scholars see them as a tool to analyze and.

“the managerial process of creating and
maintaining a fit between the organization’s
objectives and resources and the evolving
market opportunities”
What is strategic planning?
• Goal:
• Long-term growth and profitability
• Addresses two questions:
• What is the organization’s main activity
(currently)?
• How will it reach its goals?
Strategic planning
• A subgroup of a single business or a collection of
related businesses within the larger organization
Strategic business units
• Each SBU has:
• A unique target market
• Control over its resources
• Its own unique competitors
• A unique strategic plan
• May have its own accounting, R&D,
manufacturing, marketing

Strategic/Competitive Position
Apple Inc. is known for its state-of-the-art designs for products such as the iPhone, but most are unaware that Apple has used technology to streamline its supply chain management and operational systems to provide competitive pricing. This use of technology has allowed the company to under price its competitors and yet maintain a 25 percent margin on their products. The use of IT has provided Apple with a strategic and competitive position which most of their competitors find difficult to match or exceed.
Using your company or a real-world example from your research, analyze how information systems affect the firm’s strategic and competitive position.
Using the assigned readings and the Argosy University online library resources, explain how information technology:
Impacts competitive rivalry, such as pricing, promotion, and distribution
Enables or dissuades new entrants
Enables customers to achieve greater bargaining power
Enables suppliers to gain more bargaining power
Gives rise to substitute products or services that threaten the existing market
Give reasons and examples from your research to support your responses.

Strategies for Negotiation & Conflict Resolution
Dr. Janice Barrett
Notes onCrisis Management and Conflict Resolution
Defining a crisis: An event that brings, or has the potential for bringing, an organization and its leaders into disrepute and imperil the organization’s future profitability, reputation, growth and possibly its very survival.
Financial measures of a crisis: bankruptcy, drop in sales, boycotts, loss of valuable employees etc.
Tarnished reputation results: the erosion of a company’s reputation in the eyes of its many stakeholders and the general public --- the worth of an entire organization can be endangered as a consequence.
Characteristics of a crisis:
Suddenness
Uncertainty
Time compression
The seven types of crises:
1. nature (natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods)
2. technology (oil spills, nuclear reactor accidents)
3. confrontation (equal rights, strikes)
4. malevolence (terrorists, disinformation)
5. skewed values (fraud, cheating, embezzlement)
6. deception (withholding information, lying, deceptive products)
7. misconduct (illegal or criminal acts).
Essentials of a contingency plan: Contingency planning involves formulating responses to crises before they occur. The essentials of a contingency plan include: anticipating what might happen, searching for preventative and preparatory measures, and drafting appropriate responses to those situations most likely to occur or whose impact is greatest.
Other, more specific elements are: Identify all potential contingencies and areas of vulnerability, examine specific vulnerabilities, review general vulnerabilities based on the organization’s “public nature”, establish crisis thresholds and assign crisis alert responsibilities, organize and train a crisis management team and establish a crisis communications center, Obtain advanced approvals for contingency plan measures, list and prioritize publics that must be informed, prepare a crisis media list and background press materials, and designate and train spokespersons.
The most important tasks are: Identifying risks, ranking those risks in a matrix based on relative impact as compared to probability of occurrence, and finally creating plans to eliminate or mitigate the impact of the most impactful and highest probable incidents. Every crisis cannot be planned for; there are simply not enough resources to do so. However, high impact, and high probability risks can be eliminated, or at least mitigated by proper planning and management.

- 1. Student Name Professor White ENGL-1301-81015 18 November 2018 Sources for Final Paper “Employers Value Experience Over Grades, Data Suggests” by Kayla Canne contains statistics that reinforce my argument that having internship or work experience within a student’s field of study can increase his/her chances of getting hired after graduating. The author references a survey done by The Chronicle of Higher Education and American Public Media Marketplace which used a sample size of 704 employers. In other words, the data collected from the survey is large enough to be credible. I plan to use the article “The Value of Engaged Students” by Adam Peck and Michael Preston because it contains data from the National Association

In other words, most employers believed new graduates are not prepared for the workforce. This article takes a deeper look into how valuable soft skills obtained outside of the classroom either through work experience or cocurricular activities are to potential employers. I will use this to explain the value of soft skills in addition to hands-on learning. The article “Effects of Business Internships on Students, Employers, and Higher Education Institutions: A Systematic Review” by Gisela Sanahuja Vélez and Gabriela Ribes Giner reviews the benefits of internships for business majors, which is consistently one of the most popular majors chosen by college students.

The article “Student Employment as a Model for Experiential Learning” by Jacquelyn H. Fede, Kathleen S. Gorman, and Maria E. Cimini explains how to gain work experience through a university job when an unpaid internship is not an option. I plan to use this article to explain that students who cannot partake in internships due to the need for a steady income are still able to learn valuable, transferable skills by being employed through the university they attend. These skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem solving led to greater employment opportunity for the students after graduating. I intend to use the article “Those Low Grades in College May
