IPO-charts-for-the-Classic-Reunions-and-Barking-Lot-cases

/in /by

Assignment 1 Include IPO charts for the Classic Reunions and Barking Lot cases, as one of the tools you are working with (algorithms, IPO chart, desk check, pseudocode, flowchart). Submit your completed assignment in Blackboard.

We will finish Chapter 2 and begin discussing Chapter 3, Making Decisions. I will post instructions to download the Netbeans IDE to your systems, both OS and Windows. You can work on downloading it yourself by going to https://netbeans.org/features/ . We will start coding in Week 4.

Classic Reunions provides services for organizers of high school class reunions. A typical customer might need help locating former classmates, deciding on a theme, selecting a venue, entertainment, and decorations, and so on. The service currently has two employees. List the objects, attributes, behaviors, and relationships needed to write a program that could simulate serving one client’s reunion needs.

Case: The Barking Lot

The Barking Lot is a dog boarding facility. It provides boarding for any number of days and additional services such as grooming and walking. The Barking Lot currently has three employees, a list of 40 dog clients, and room to board 8 dogs at any one time. List the objects, attributes, behaviors, and relationships needed to write a program that could simulate one day’s business activity.

Chapter 2

What advantages are there to requiring variables to have a data type?

Would you prefer to write a large program by yourself, or to work on a team in which each programmer produces one or more modules? Why?

Extreme programming is a system for rapidly developing software. One of its tenets is that all production code is written by two programmers sitting at one machine. Is this a good idea? Does working this way as a programmer appeal to you? Why or why not?

Case: Classic Reunions

In Chapter 1, you thought about the objects needed for programs for Classic Reunions—a company that provides services for organizers of high school class reunions. One required program must be able to estimate the cost of a reunion event per person. This month, the company is charging $200 per hour for renting its on-site party room, $350 for its house band for the evening, and $40 a plate for dinner. Develop the logic for an application that accepts the number of guests expected for an event and the number of hours for the party as input, then calculates and outputs the total cost for the event as well as the cost per person. Show the algorithm, pseudocode, flowchart and desk- checking. You may draw the flowchart using freehand or using an application such as Microsoft Word or Visual Logic (PIN to use comes with textbook purchase) or Google Docs (select File, New Drawing & insert flowchart shapes or click on Add-Ons and connect to the free LucidChart app).

Case: The Barking Lot

In Chapter 1, you thought about the objects needed for programs for The Barking Lot—a dog boarding facility. One required program must be able to estimate profits for a day. The facility can board eight dogs at a time; it charges $25 a day for dogs that weigh more than 50 pounds and $20 a day for smaller dogs. The facility’s expenses include $2 per day per dog for food (no matter the size of the dog), and $30 per day for utilities. Develop the logic for a program that allows a user to enter the number of large dogs boarded; assume that the rest are small dogs and that the facility is full. Output is the total revenue collected for the day, total expenses, and the difference. Show the algorithm, pseudocode, flowchart and desk-checking. You may draw the flowchart using freehand or using an application such as Microsoft Word or Visual Logic (PIN to use comes with textbook purchase) or Google Docs (select File, New Drawing & insert flowchart shapes or click on Add-Ons and connect to the free LucidChart app).

1, Being a basically shy person, I have never wanted to have a leadership role, but because of my life experiences, the true leader in emerged. As a leader it is very important to use active listening skills. This means not only hearing what is being said, but also observing the body language of the speaker. This is very easy for me as I have grown accustom to hearing what is not being said through my Inner Healing Ministry. Active listening within a group setting is much more complicated since the leader has to listen to many people at the same time. (Jacob, Schimmel, Masson, & Harvill, 2016). Encouraging and supporting is also very easy for me since being an encourager is a part of my ministry. “A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.” (Proverbs 15:1, New King James Version). Tone setting is a another one of my strengths as I like for others to be comfortable in the group setting. The leader is the one who dictates how the flow of the group will be, and if members are in a setting in which they openly express themselves and feel relax and content with speaking out, the whole experience within the group will be a very productive one for all involved. (Jacobs et al, 2016). Clarification and questions would be a weak link for me. Sometimes I tend to forget to ask the correct questions to get the clarification I need to have the proper information to proceed further. The techniques the authors gave such as repeating and reiterating as well as asking the members to participate in making the statements clearer (Jacobs, et al., 2016) are ones that I will find useful in helping me become better in this area.

Good leaders emerge as great leaders because they have learned how to use the necessary skills to lead a group successfully whether it is a small group or a large one such as a manger in a employment setting. Being a leader gives one power that sometimes they are not equipped to handle and still be effective. To abuse the power one is given will hurt the whole dynamics of a group and cause much dissension within its structure. When members feel they are equally important to the group regardless of their social status, they are more likely to be obedient to the leader.

2. Personally, I feel the easiest for myself is reflection because I am able to reflect about what I am aware of. This allows others to see what I am reflecting or aware, which can benefit a group. The leader should speak out loud about what should be reflected in the group’s thoughts and feelings. I think awareness is key to revealing an awareness that was not noticeable within the conversation. This allows a person to reflect on their own inconsistencies and weaknesses to practice noticing them. Others in the group are able to relate with each other’s thoughts and feelings creating an open and safe environment that anyone is welcome to speak (Jacobs, Schimmel, Masson & Harvill, 2016).

I think the hardest for me is multitasking with active listening, observation, and thinking about other techniques at the same time with a group rather than one on one conversation. I mainly focus on one thing at a time, so I can accurately understand and give an accurate response. Sometimes, I have a hard time listening thoroughly because the individual may bring up something that I may reflect something similar in my thoughts, and I want to speak it before I forget. Usually, I will forget what I need to say if I do not say it because it could be beneficial. This would take a lot of training and practice for my personal and professional life.

From the readings, power can be used either for the good or bad of the group (Forsyth, 2015). Depending on the influence of the power used by the leader may be able to control the group toward obedience and receive status. When this status is received, it gives appraises to the person who is viewed with the most power and influence amongst the group. People are willing to be obedient to those who are higher in status and have a powerful influence (Forsyth, 2015). This can be influenced negatively or positively. People end up partaking in the power from the leader, which enables them to be encouraged and willing to be led and obedient to do what the leader asks. In addition, there are benefits to receiving a portion of this power within the group love, acceptance, rewards, worth, safety, and comfort.
