The response should be a minimum of 100 words long with proper punctuation, capitalization, and grammar. Support your response with at least two scholarly or professional journal articles written in the United States of America within the last five years cited in APA format. Consult the attached grading rubric to ensure you are meeting the assignment's criteria, as this information in conjunction with the rubric will be used to assess your work. Discussion Post: Most of the posts I have looked at from other classmates start with some definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI). I like the one that defines AI as a sub-field of computer science with the goal of enabling the development of computers that are able to do things normally done by people — in particular, things associated with people acting intelligently (Hammond, 2015). The question then is how we relate this to the world of business. AI producing intelligence is defined in the text as detecting and interpreting signs that indicate a situation which needs attention (Haag, 2016). With this in mind, the biggest advantage I see is that of saving a ton of time and money in the form of man-hours. What took a human with a calculator hours to compute can now take a computer program fractions of a second to perform. The major disadvantages of AI though, aren't AI's fault at all but an error in the human programming of the AI or the input of information into the system done by, you guessed it, a human. An example most of us can relate to is military finance. I seriously don't know of a single person in the military who hasn't had some issue or error with the finance department at some point in time in their career. Most, if not all, of the time it is someone entering an incorrect code or fat fingering numbers that cause us to receive the incorrect pay or bonus. Higher education institutions can benefit from AI in many ways. One way Southwestern uses AI is through the use of the program called SafeAssign. This AI program simply compares submitted papers with multiple databases throughout the Internet. What used to take a dedicated and very thorough instructor hour now takes an AI program no time at all. Not only does SafeAssign save untold man hours, it also does a more complete and accurate job. In our current project of finding the correct AI application to handle financial information for a small business, I feel the phases that will deal with selecting and integrating the best program are phased 4-6. In the development phase, we will be creating or organizing the information we want the AI program to handle and prepare it for testing. In the testing phase, we will take the information and input it into the program to find any issues or "bugs" that result from the information. Finally, we will implement the program by switching over to the chosen program and letting it become the "new normal", if you will. Hammond, K. (Apr 10, 2015) What is artificial intelligence.

The purpose of this assignment is for the nursing education student to have a forum to showcase personal achievements

The purpose of this assignment is for the student to have a forum to showcase personal achievements and to demonstrate current qualifications in preparation for certification as a nurse educator or in seeking a position as a nurse educator.

There is no one right way to submit a portfolio. Organizations that utilize this format for clinical advancement and/or peer review may have a standard format that is to be followed for submission. Organizations may also require a portfolio as part of a job application. These may or may not have specific formatting guidelines. For the purposes of this assignment, the portfolio must contain the following pieces:

1. Two letters of reference

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

I have attached my resume if that helps.The references go after the 1st section.

1. Imagine that you are faced with three alternative projects, each of which costs $1,000. Assuming the discount rate of 15 percent, calculate the following for each of the projects: Discounted Benefits, Discounted Costs, Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR). Which one of these projects would you choose to undertake based on the BCR? Explain your answer (4.5 points total).

 

a. A bridge which takes five years to build, then yields $500 benefit per year for the next 10 years. All benefits are received at the end of the year. Assume that the costs are spread out evenly over the first five years and are paid at the end of each year.

 

b. Temporary classrooms for schools yielding $500 benefit per year for three years. All benefits are received at the end of the year. Assume that all costs are paid at the end of year 1.

 

c. Tax breaks per year to a foreign auto manufacturer for a new auto plant yielding $200 annual benefit for 30 years. All benefits are received at the end of the year. Assume that all costs are paid up front.

 

2. Assuming the discount rate of 5 percent, calculate the following for each of the projects: Discounted Benefits, Discounted Costs, Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR). Which one of these projects would you choose to undertake based on the BCR? Explain your answer (1.5 points total).

 

3. Assuming the discount rate of 55 percent, calculate the following for each of the projects: Discounted Benefits, Discounted Costs, Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR). Which one of these projects would you choose to undertake based on the BCR? Explain your answer (1.5 points total).

 

Things to Keep in Mind

1. This is an individual assignment, which means that you need to do your own research and calculations. Original work only.

2. Please note that when you are calculating the Discount Factors for the 55% discount rate, your Discount Factors for some years would be close to zero. Still, however, you should calculate the discount factors for all the relevant years in excel.

3. If costs of a project are paid up front, you need to list them under Year 0, not under Year 1.

Your second reflection paper topic is about terrorism, mass protests, and mass shootings. This is…

Your second reflection paper topic is about terrorism, mass protests, and mass shootings.  This is essentially the second half of the semester.  The directions for this are the same as the first reflection paper:

Here are some things to think about: what you saw happening in each of the incidents.  The who, when, why.  You can include things such as similarities and differences.  Opinions are acceptable, but keep in mind what actually happened.  For example, do not place blame for an incident on a certain cause without reviewing the literature and videos.  I would like you to also think about the suspects, the victims, circumstances, and locations.  Think critically as to why these happened at these places and if there are connections to what previously happened and even other incidents.  Summarize what happened, what you learned, and how these incidents affect you. 

You have some freedom as to how you structure the paper, but ensure you have an introduction, body, and conclusion.  I have attached a general rubric for the paper; it is worth 25 percent of your final grade.  The papers should be in the range of 1,000 words.  You can deviate slightly from this, but please note that papers that are far under or over this range may be penalized by a letter grade.  Submit the assignment through Blackboard via the link provided.

 

I have also included in the “Reflection Paper Guides and Assessment” folder some material that can be helpful in writing a reflection paper.  For example, it is ok to speak in the first-person language (“I”) since it is a bit different
