Essay Questions

/in /by

 Please construct five essay questions from the chapters under Unit II on your course syllabus.  Your questions should be well thought out, diverse in nature, and have detailed explanations.  Your total points will be largely based on your ability to thoroughly analyze and describe a concept. 

In terms of length,  A good rule of thumb with essays is to make them a half a page, or two paragraphs at the least–think mini research papers.  I hope this helps.” I am looking for substance , so as long as you examine the developmental concept from a deeper perspective, you will be just fine.

BUS475 – Integrated Business Topics Strategic Plan Part III Balanced Scorecard

/in /by

Resource: Exhibit 7-1 in Ch. 7 of Strategic Management

 

Develop the strategic objectives for your business in the format of a balanced scorecard.The strategic objectives are measures of attaining your vision and mission. As you develop them consider the vision, mission, and values for your business and the outcomes of your SWOTT analysis. Consider the following four quadrants of the balanced scorecard when developing your strategic objectives:

 

*** Please remember to submit your Balance Scorecard either as part of your paper or as a separate file.

 

·         Shareholder Value or Financial Perspective, includes strategic objectives in areas such as:   

o    Market share

o    Revenues and costs

o    Profitability

o    Competitive position

·         Customer Value Perspective, includes strategic objectives in areas such as:

o    Customer retention or turnover

o    Customer satisfaction

o    Customer value

·         Process or Internal Operations Perspective, includes strategic objectives in areas such as:

o    Measure of process performance

o    Productivity or productivity improvement

o    Operations metrics

·         Learning and Growth (Employee) Perspective, includes strategic objectives in areas such as:

o    Employee satisfaction

o    Employee turnover or retention

o    Level of organizational capability

o    Nature of organizational culture or climate

o    Technological innovation

 

Develop at least three strategic objectives for each of the following four balanced scorecard areas identified above (Financial, Customer, Process, Learning and Growth). Your objectives should be selected, in part, based on an evaluation of a number of potential alternatives to the issues and/or opportunities identified in the SWOTT Analysis paper and table you completed in Week Three.

 

·         For each strategic objective, develop a metric and target using a balanced scorecard format.

(For example, a common strategic objective in the shareholder or Financial Perspective is to increase market share. A metric to actually measure this strategic objective of market share increase could be: “The percentage of increase in market share.” The target is the specific number to be achieved in a particular time period. The target for the metric of “Increase market share” could be “Increase market share by 2% for each of the next 3 years.)

 

Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary that explains your critical thinking on how you derived your objectives from your vision, mission, values, and SWOTT analysis. You should also incorporate the ethical implications of your solutions into your analysis.

 

Format paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Ecological succession is halted to keep the agroecosystem in an early-successional state.

       The focus is on monoculture (one plant species instead of many).

       Crops are planted in rows and fields.

       Agroecosystems require plowing, which is unlike any natural soil disturbance.

       All of the above are valid ways that agroecosystems differ from natural ecosystems.

 

Question 2.2. Table 11.1 on page 215 of your text, Environmental Science, provides data regarding land, population, and agriculture. Based on the statistics provided in this table, which continent or continents use over 50% of their total land for agriculture? (Points : 1)

       Asia

       Europe

       Australia

       Both a & c

       All of the above (a, b, & c)

 

Question 3.3. Livestock are often raised on rangeland or pasture. What is/are the major difference(s) in rangeland and pasture? (Points : 1)

       Rangeland is not marked by fencing while pasture is surrounded with barbed or electric wire.

       Rangeland provides food for grazing without planting or plowing while pasture is plowed, planted, and harvested to provide forage for animals.

       Pasture does not utilize irrigation while rangeland is irrigated regularly.

       Pasture and rangeland are the same; however, the term pasture is utilized in the U.S. while rangeland is utilized in Europe and other parts of the world.

       All of the above

 

Question 4.4. While naturally occurring, organic fertilizers (fertilizers made of natural products such as manure) have a number of drawbacks to manmade artificial fertilizers, which of the following is a major drawback of organic fertilizers? (Points : 1)

       Organic fertilizers do not provide enough chemical elements to replace those lost during farming

       Organic fertilizers must be used in conjunction with regular irrigation to ensure effectiveness

       Organic fertilizers are toxic to animals which means they can’t be used on pastures

       Organic fertilizers are toxic to humans which means that they can’t be used on food crops

       None of the above

 

Question 5.5. Crops require about 20 separate chemical elements to survive. Liebig’s law of the minimum states that the growth of a plant is affected by just one limiting factor at a time – the nutrient whose availability is the most limited to the needs of a plant. Based on this law, which of the following statements is true? (Points : 1)

       Increasing the limiting nutrient will improve soil production

       Increased plowing will release nutrients and increase crop production

       Irrigation will stimulate carbon turnover and increase crop production

       Fertilization with a mixture including all of the soil micronutrients is necessary to improve crop growth

       None of the above

 

Question 6.6. Pest management strategies that utilize chemicals (pesticides) often lead to environmental damage, such as the contamination of drinking water. Which pest management technique(s) allow(s) farmers to control pests without applying harmful chemicals? (Points : 1)

       Application of broad spectrum inorganic toxins

       Application of artificial organic compounds

       Utilization of integrated pest management

       Eating lower on the food chain ensures that pesticide intake by the consumer is reduced.

       Eating lower on the food chain ensures sustainability of cattle populations.

       Due to organismal energy efficiency, eating lower on the food chain may allow the same area of farmland to produce between 10 and 100 times more vegetation per year than eating meat.

       Both a & b

       All of the above (a, b, & c)

 

Question 8.8. Genetic engineering in agriculture involves a number of different technical practices. Which following practice or practices mentioned in your textbook is/are considered current genetic engineering technologies? (Points : 1)

COM 200 NEW COURSE Week 3 Discussion 2 – Attraction in Interpersonal Relationships

/in /by

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

 

 

 
Attraction in Interpersonal Relationships

 

Chapter 7 addresses various elements that attract us to other people when we first enter a relationship. It might be just one thing that we like about another person or it could be several things.

 

Prepare: As you prepare to write this discussion post, take a few moments to do the following:

 

  • Read the writing prompt below in its entirety. Notice that there are two tasks:
    1. Identify what attracts you to others, based on one of the attraction theories covered by Bevan & Sole.
    2. Share an example of friendship you had that did not start off on solid ground, and explain what happened.
  • Review Chapter 7 in the course text. Focus especially on the section on attraction theory and identify what attracts you to others.
  • Begin with a solid explanation of attraction theory as described in our text. Then, use that theory to think through what attracts you to others. Do not forget to share an example from your own experience.
  • Review the grading rubric.

 

Reflect: Take time to reflect on how we are attracted to others and what role communication plays in this process. Think about the role of first impressions and how they influence final friendship outcomes.

 

Write: Based on attraction theory (outlined in our text), address the following:

 

  • What do you look for in other people when you first meet them? This could be a potential romantic partner or even a platonic friend. List as many qualities as you can think of and how they are related to what you’ve learned in this class about communication.
  • Relate your personal experience to attraction theory (Section 7.3), as described in our text.
  • Share an example of a time when you developed a friendship/relationship with someone whom you did not get along with at first. What initially attracted you to the person?  What changed for you?

 

Thoroughly address all three elements of this prompt by writing at least two to three sentences on each element. Use the course readings at least once to help you make your points. Consider copying and pasting these tasks into a word file and addressing each of them separately.

 

Your initial response should be 200-300 words in length and is due by Thursday, Day 3.

Develop an application that will determine whether any of several department-store customers has exceeded the credit limit on a charge account. For each customer, the following facts are available:

 a. account number

 b. balance at the beginning of the month

 c. total of all items charged by the customer this month

 d. total of all credits applied to the customer’s account this month

 e. allowed credit limit.

 The program should input all these facts as integers, calculate the new balance (= beginning balance + charges — credits), display the new balance and determine whether the new balance exceeds the customer’s credit limit. For those customers whose credit limit is exceeded, the program should display the message “Credit limit exceeded”. Your class should have a constructor that initializes the instance variables. Account number is auto generated and user is not supposed to enter it. Provide a set and a get method for each instance variable.

 

Develop a C++ program that will determine whether a department-store customer has exceeded the credit limit on a charge account. For each customer, the following facts are available:

 

a) Account number (an integer)

b) Balance at the beginning of the month

c) Total of all items charged by this customer this month

d) Total of all credits applied to this customer’s account this month

e) Allowed credit limit

 

The program should use a while statement to input each of these facts, calculate the new balance (= beginning balance + charges – credits) and determine whether the new balance exceeds the customer’s credit limit. For those customers whose credit limit is exceeded, the program should display the customer’s account number, credit limit, new balance and the message “Credit Limit Exceeded.”

Edu 4303 Week 6 Discussion

/in /by

Child poverty and homelessness are two of the most complex problems faced by society today. Since 2000, the number of children living in poverty has increased from 11.6 million to 15 million. Today, over 20% of all children live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level. In addition, it is estimated that 1% to 2% of children are homeless, a number that has surged as a result of the recent global recession and the ensuing financial strain it has placed on many families. Because growing up in poverty increases children’s risks of suffering physical, cognitive, emotional, and social problems, reducing rates of child poverty is a priority. However, politicians and policymakers often disagree on causes and solutions to child poverty, sparking vigorous debate. In this Discussion, you will consider your own thoughts on how child poverty might be addressed. Reflect on the following:

  • Based on what you have learned this week and your past experiences, what specific policies, initiatives, or programs do you think should be implemented to effectively reduce child poverty/homelessness and/or ameliorate its consequences? Consider at least three.
  • How and to what extent should technology/media be used for educational purposes? For example, should teachers integrate technology as much as possible in their lessons? Should parents encourage children to study using educational software and the Internet? Or are more traditional learning methods preferable?
  • Are there any policies, initiatives, or programs aimed at combating child poverty and/or homelessness with which you strongly disagree? Why?

Risk and Capital: Stock prices using CAPM, CGM

 

By walking through a set of financial data for XYZ, this assignment will help you better understand how theoretical stock prices are calculated and how prices may react to market forces such as risk and interest rates. You will use both the CAPM (capital asset pricing model) and the constant growth model (CGM) to arrive at XYZ’s stock price.

To receive full credit on this assignment, please show all work, including formulas and calculations used to arrive at financial values.

Assignment Guidelines:

    * Find an estimate of the risk-free rate of interest (krf). To obtain this value, go to Bloomberg.com: Market Data and use the “U.S. 10-year Treasury” bond rate (middle column) as the risk-free rate. In addition, you also need a value for the market risk premium. Use an assumed market risk premium of 7.5%.
    * Download the XYZ Stock Information by clicking the link.  https://mycampus.aiu-online.com/courses/FINA310/Assignment_Assets/FINA310_U3_f1.pdf
    * Using the information from the XYZ Stock Information document, record the following values:
          o XYZ’s beta (ß)
          o XYZ’s current annual dividend
          o XYZ’s 3-year dividend growth rate (g)
          o Industry P/E
          o XYZ’s EPS
    * With the information you recorded, use the CAPM to calculate XYZ’s required rate of return (ks).
    * Use the CGM to find the current stock price for XYZ. We will call this the theoretical price (Po).
    * Now use appropriate Web resources to find XYZ’s current stock quote (P). Compare Po and P and answer the following questions:
          o Are there any differences?
          o What factors may be at work for such a difference in the two prices?
    * Now assume the market risk premium has increased from 7.5% to 10% and this increase is due only to the increased risk in the market. In other words, assume the krf and the stock’s beta remain the same for this exercise.
          o What will the new price be? Explain.
    * Recalculate XYZ’s stock price using the P/E ratio model and the needed info found in the XYZ Stock Information file.
          o Why is the present stock price different from the price arrived at using CGM (Constant Growth Model)?
    * If you used Microsoft Word to arrive at your answers, then you must provide an explanation of the formulas and calculations.

    * A double-spaced Word document that contains the following:
          o All of the numerical values listed in the assignment guidelines.
          o Your answers to the four questions in the assignment guidelines.
          o The formulas and calculations that you used to arrive at your answers  
    * You must include your explanation of how you used Microsoft Excel for your calculations if applicable.

Please show all work and list references.

Peer Discussion 1 (H. Simonds)

Milestones

There are a couple of methods to test Cognitive milestones. What are cognitive milestones? Cherry (2017) mentions cognitive milestones are based on a child’s ability to think, learn and solve problems. Cherry (2017) also mentions that an example of this is an infant learning how to respond to facial expressions and a preschooler learning the alphabet (Cherry 2017). There are many different cognitive skills for each age. Accoring to Broderick (2014) “Newborn-1 month facial expressions, 1-3 months is coos and grunts, 3-5 months is smiles and shows interest in favorite people, 6-7 months is babbling, 9-12 months is reaches or points to indicate desired object and responds to simple requests, 13-18 months 50 words for familiar actions, 18-24 months increases vocabulary rapidly 3 words a day, 2-3 years speaks clearly enough to be understood by family members”(Broderick 2014 p.101). These are just a few examples of cognitive skills.

Testing

A couple of tests for cognitive milestones are scaffolding and object permanence. Berk (2015) mentions that the potential development refers to a range of tasks that the child cannot handle doing alone just yet but can do with the help of someone who is skilled enough to do it. Think about how a sensitive you are anoter adult introduces a child to a new activity. You or another adult pick a task that the child can master but that is challenging enough that the child cannot do it by his/herself. You or another adult guides and supports, adjusting the level of support offered to fit the child’s current level of performance. As the child joins in the interaction and picks up mental strategies, her competence increases, and the adult steps back, permitting the child to take more responsibility for the task. This is a form of teaching known as scaffolding (Berk 2015 p. 222).

According to Gross (2012) “One of the best-known examples of the development of sensorimotor intelligence is object permanence, Piaget’s term for infants’ gradually developing understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are not in sensory or motor contact with them. Piaget tested object permanence by placing an ordinary object (his pocketwatch) under a blanket. He noted that, unless some part of the watch remained visible, Stage 3 infants typically failed to lift up the blanket and retrieve the hidden object”(Gross 2012 p. 204).

Peer Discussion 2 (Kenwyn)

In a sociocultural view human cognition and learning are social and cultural rather than individual (Bahador et al., 2017).  A part of Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory (SCT) believes that learning scientific concepts presented the learner with an internal organization system for ideas and allowed the learner to utilize those ideas more efficiently by using more advanced thinkers. This provides novice learners with scaffolding, which enables novice learners to reach higher levels of thinking (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Bahador (et al. 2017) defines scaffolding as a dialogic process by which an open speaker aids another in doing a function that he or she cannot carry out without help.

In relating this method to education, scaffolding is a guidance provided by a teacher or peer, with supports that reach a point where the learner can manifest in actuality what previously only has been seen as potential. This can be through questioning, using cues, or prompts that encourage thinking through a situation instead of only providing the answer (Broderick & Blewitt). The teacher or peer would be able to confirm the success in completing the milestone. To know if scaffolding is successful the task must be mastered (2015), thus making the role of the adult crucial to scaffolding (2017).

Response Guidelines

Read as many of your peers’ posts as time allows, and respond to at least two of them. Try to choose posts that have had the fewest responses.

Address any of the following, insofar as they are relevant: 

Does the post provide a critical reflection with respect to developmental themes? 

Is it incomplete in any way? 

Does it present links to theory or research? 

Does it apply early childhood concepts and learning to an identified specialization? 

Can you enlarge upon the ideas presented or suggest variations? 

What points are particularly well made?

Peer Discussion 3 (K. Ejiogu)

Reflecting on Week 1’s study, the theme that most resonated with me was Nature vs Nurture. According to the American College of Pediatrics, Both nature (genetic influences) and nurture (influences of environment, experience, and education) affect children’s development. As an aspiring Clinical Pediatric Neuropsychologists, it is imperative for me to acquire the necessary understanding that revolve around child development, and the nurture aspect of the theme comprises of a child’s day to day interactions. Pediatric neuropsychologists have training in both clinical psychology and neuropsychology, and a lot of what has been covered in both week 1 & 2 share a lot of information on cognitive development, which I find imbedded in Neuropsychology. They use this training to evaluate and help manage children with brain disorders, and help parents, teachers, and physicians to understand how problems with the brain may relate to problems seen at school, home, or with peers (American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology, 2018).

 

I was particularly pleased to learn the different influencing factors that affect child development, as this area has been one that I have been intrigued by, or wanted to learn more about. I always thought that individuals were a product of their environment, but also learning other environmental factors was rather informative and illuminating. I have always been a believer of the Piagetian theories because of his outstanding reputation and contributions to psychology, and most especially his work in child development. The study in Week 3D1, was quite dense on his work. I can attempt to say that I feel rather confident on the outcome of my participation I this class because I find the studies and class work to be at the center of my specialization and professional ambition.
