The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.

At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

Some organizations have gone as far as inserting radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips into their employees to control their access into secure areas and to monitor their movement and location.

•   Research and discuss where RFID tags have been used for security measures.

•   Discuss your feelings on how these devices are being used.

•   Be sure that you fully explain your viewpoint and justify your response.

As the popularity and use of RFID tags increase, the concern about these devices also continues to grow.

Assignment 3: Human Resource Project Plan 

Due Week 6 and worth 280 points

You have recently been appointed head of human resources and are now in charge of managing a small team. Your next project is to revamp the compensation and benefits package employees are receiving at your company. Design a plan for the human resource project without the use of MS Project or similar software. Note: You will have to make assumptions or create fictitious data for this assignment. Be clear about these assumptions and data for your professor to follow along.

Write a eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:

1. Construct a project charter to revamp the compensation and benefits package.
2. Design a communication plan for the project.
3. Define the scope of the project.
4. Create a work breakdown structure including numbered components. Submit your WBS by creating a table inside your assignment.
5. Use at least four (4) quality academic (peer-reviewed)resources in this assignment.

Your assignment must:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Determine the characteristics of a successful project plan.
• Deconstruct the project planning process and how that affects human resource management.
• Identify the scope of projects and the structure of the accompanying work.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in managing human resource projects.
• Write clearly and concisely about managing human resource projects using proper writing mechanics.

Part I: This essay is a critical thinking exercise. Do not read into this! Just base your decision(s) on the information that you have. There is no one right or wrong response but you will be graded on your knowledge of correctional treatment, their options, supportive input, and logical reasoning.
Instructions: After reading this scenario, assume you are before Judge Judy. Judge ***** *****kes things brief. So keeping that in mind:
A. Prepare and write a PSI review. What would be the highlights of this scenario that you would tell the judge that would cover the core categories?
B. What information is pertinent that would give a good description of the client that would benefit an appropriate sentencing? Remember to be brief in your comments to the judge, but also relay to her the PSI core categories information.
C. What sentence would you recommend to the judge? If you recommend jail time or probation, list an additional intermediate punishment/sanction appropriate to the offender. Explain your response.
Case Scenario:
1. You are a probation officer assigned to the case of Joe, a 21 year old man convicted of burglary from a business during the nighttime. Joe admitted to and was convicted of breaking into the City Liquors And Smokes and stealing cash from the register, and several cases of beer. Joe was quickly apprehended and during his arrest, police found a switchblade in Joe’s pocket. As a teenager, Joe already had a long history of juvenile offenses. His delinquency included truancy, shoplifting, possession of weapons (knives), and marijuana and alcohol possession and consumption. He frequently got into fights while in high school and he was known as a bully. As a juvenile, Joe spent a total of some 10 days in a juvenile facility. For the most part, when in trouble with the law, Joe received probation that included mandatory drug treatment.
Now an adult, Joe did not stop his criminal behavior. At age 19 he served 30 days in jail for drug possession and shoplifting. His current offense is the burglary and theft.
When you compiled Joe’s PSI, you discovered that Joe grew up in a two-parent household in which there was constant domestic abuse. His parents are now unavailable because his father abandoned the family years ago and his mother is currently undergoing inpatient treatment at a local drug clinic. Joe currently lives with his girlfriend who is 4 months pregnant. Joe has a G.E.D. and minimal employment skills. At the time of his current arrest, Joe was unemployed. The only jobs he had are those of unskilled labor. His work history is scant and often Joe was fired from jobs due to tardiness. Joe reports that he is in good health and there is no reported history of out-patient or in-patient treatment for psychological or emotional disorders. He admits to being a heavy alcohol drinker and occasionally smokes marijuana. After compiling information for the PSI, you believe that Joe has a severe alcohol addiction and limited education/skills to obtain steady employment. You must now make a decision about Joe. What mode of correctional treatment, intermediate sanction, or sentence would you choose and why? Remember to address Judge Judy’s questions as written in the instructions.
Part II: On the following questions, please provide a short response.
2. When ordering probation, the court imposes general conditions to follow. Often, the probationer may also be told to follow specific conditions. What is the difference between general and specific conditions of probation?
3. What is Tourniquet Sentencing?
4. List the major functions of probation. (just list the functions, no need to provide additional details.)

Complete the matrix to determine requirements for the policy. Review page 28, table 4.2 to understand how to complete a matrix. Complete the matrix on page 27, table 4.1 based on the scenario below. Fill in the type of threat/vulnerability and your recommendation to correct the threat/vulnerability. Scenario In the organization, there is an insider threat. The employee who is the threat has been discussing a perceived vulnerability in the system. Many of the employees believe this vulnerability in the system and are attempting to create a patch. The insider threat employee has created malware in the system separate from the alleged vulnerability. While the technical team is searching for a vulnerability, the malware is traveling through the system disrupting all network traffic. What is the issue? Identify the threats and vulnerabilities in the matrix for this scenario. Also, identify the resolutions and solutions. Separate the issues from the solutions in a table with two columns and submit to your assignment folder. The issues are provided in Table 1. You will create resolutions/solutions for the threat or vulnerability below.
