POS 1:

Hello Class,

Sampling with a Pair of Dice.

The results from the 10 rolls of dice average to 7.6

And the results from the 20 rolls of dice average to 7.1

In this example of random sampling, we see that the Central Limit Theorem holds true for the sampling distribution of the sample mean can be approximated by a normal distribution as the sample size becomes large.

POST 2:

I found it interesting that the central limit theorum is good, it is not infallable. When I did the first run through of my numbers, I got the following results:

Roll # Die 1 Die 2 Sum
1 3 6 9
2 3 2 5
3 2 4 6
4 5 2 7
5 1 2 3
6 4 1 5
7 4 3 7
8 4 5 9
9 4 5 9
10 2 3 5
SUM 65 Average 6.5
Roll # Die 1 Die 2 Sum
1 6 6 12
2 4 2 6
3 6 4 10
4 2 2 4
5 2 4 6
6 4 2 6
7 3 1 4
8 2 4 6
9 3 4 7
10 3 2 5
11 1 6 7
12 5 5 10
13 6 3 9
14 6 1 7
15 1 5 6
16 4 6 10
17 6 3 9
18 2 6 8
19 1 4 5
20 2 3 5
SUM 142 Average 7.1

This shows that the larger the sample, the closer to the mean of 7 (which is the average of two dice being added together, where you can roll from a 2 to a 12), but it is not perfect. Just for kicks, I tried running it a few more times, only to discover that on two of 5 sets, my 10 roll average was closer to the mean than the 20 rolls.

Position Paper: Social Media in the Hiring Process

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to develop your research and critical thinking skills while analyzing a current topic in Human Resource Management. This assignment is designed to keep you updated on leading edge topics as they are happening in our field. You will also develop your ability to integrate ideas from the academic literature and critically evaluate those from the popular press to form a coherent argument in favor for or against a topic.

Description of Assignment

You will be assigned several articles to read on a current trend in HRM: Social Media in the Hiring Process. Some of the articles come from the academic literature, and some come from the popular press. You are also expected to conduct your own literature review and research the topic beyond the assigned readings. You should cite this research where appropriate in your document, using APA style. After reading the articles and conducting your own literature review, you should write a position paper outlining whether you think it is appropriate or not to use social media information in the hiring process. You need to support your position with appropriate facts and references.

Discussion Topics

The following questions are things you should consider as you write your paper. Not all questions necessarily need to be addressed, but a majority of them should be incorporated as you construct the main arguments in your paper. Feel free to examine other ideas that pertain to the topic as well.

  • First of all, for the purposes of this paper, “social media” includes any information that is available about a person on the internet. This may include (but is not limited to): Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Google searches.
  • What kind of information can you find from the various social media platforms? How would this affect a Hiring Manager’s (or Recruiter’s) decision about a candidate?
  • When you are considering whether it is appropriate to use social media information, consider the steps of the hiring process. Is it appropriate to use this information at the beginning of the process, before inviting the candidate for an interview, only after an interview, only at the end of the hiring process (prior to making an offer), etc. Consider the ramifications of viewing one’s social media profile at these different steps in the process (e.g., in terms of bias).
  • Is the information we gather from social media reliable and valid in terms of being a predictor of job performance?
    • On a related note, is the information presented by social media outlets representative of the candidate? Try Google searching yourself and do a social media search on your own name (Facebook and LinkedIn profiles)…what did you find?
  • What are the legal ramifications of using social media information in the hiring process? Is there a chance of adverse impact?
  • Consider the practical side of this issue. How many Hiring Managers or Recruiters use this information? What would they say about the use of social media information in the hiring process? How has this information helped (or how could it help) them?

Details

  • Length. Your paper should be 3 – 5 pages double spaced, not including title page or references.
  • Style and Formatting. You should utilize APA style for the paper. Use headings where relevant, and have a references page that lists the works that you cited during your paper in APA style. For more information on APA style, please consult Purdue’s OWL website at: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/.
  • Grading – Your paper should articulate a clear argument in favor of, or against, the use of social media information in the hiring process. Excellent papers will state a clear policy that is in accordance with best HRM practices using supportive facts and references that are outside of, but include, the assigned readings. It is important that the legal, as well as practical, issues of using social media information are addressed in the paper. Excellent papers will also have a clear structure, and will have organized information in a logical way to illustrate their argument clearly. The paper is worth 100 points, or 10% of the student’s final grade in the class.

English 102 Answering Simple Questions

/in /by

Answer questions 1-20 pertaining to the body paragraph below:

Body Paragraph #1

Serial murders are defined as people who engage in three or more killings over a moderate time with a period to ‘cool down’. Although media have glorified and portrayed something else, serial killers are said to be the rarest of all criminals and killers at that. To better understand just how rare serial killers are, Gao and Raine shared the most accurate estimate in numbers “The prevalence of psychopathy is not definitively known, but is estimated at approximately 0.6–1% in general populations (Coid, Yang, Ullrich, Roberts, & Hare, 2009; Hare, 2003) and 3.5% in the business world (Babiak & Hare, 2006)” (196). Cowan describes a common trait found not only in serial killers but most other violent criminals is someone who has no remorse over their wrong doings, and someone who does extremely awful things to others without thinking twice (300). On the contrary, there are very distinct differences and desires a serial killer portrays compared to another killer with different motives, such as a visionary killer or a mass murderer. Dalal et al. states “If a person kills several victims of usually of a particular type, over a period of time with varying intervals in between, apparently without motive except for sexual or sadistic gratification, he is described as “serial killer” and such culprit is a special psychiatric entity and invariably a male” (109). This statement has blended the most common characteristics noted to define a serial killer. Also, when crime scene analysis pulls up to a scene which looks like a killing there are things that will stick out to them right away and can get a better understanding of what type of killer they’re dealing with, however; it isn’t until later into an investigation will other key factors stand out. A major part of breaking a serial killer case is figuring out what the geographic location of the killing means to the killer. Whittington- Egan explains that in most cases a serial killer will not kill close to come in fear of showing the obvious, it seems to close to comfort for them. Nevertheless, without being too risky they don’t stem too far from home. Most serial killings happen relatively close to their general surroundings (329). Even though serial killers are said to make up a very small portion of the world there has been enough evidence and similarities to prove their general behavior and attitude as a member of society.

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and Reasonable Accommodations

The objective of this discussion is to reflect on how organizations make accommodations for people with disabilities and are ADA-compliant.

Before beginning your assignment, review the following article:

What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?

Then—before you start write out your initial post—do the following exercise:

  1. Write a disability on a separate sheet of paper. You can use anything as an example: a visible disability (immobility, for example) or an invisible disability (such as Asperger’s).
  2. Next, write out everything that comes to mind regarding stereotypes for this disability. If you can, try to also include some idea of how you came to know the stereotype(s).
  3. Then, come up with some activities you have experienced at your job (past, present, imagined) such as a general workshop of any kind, company picnic, or even something casually organized like getting together for a social event after work.

Overall, your task is to come up with reasonable accommodations for a person with that disability to attend that organization’s activity or event. For example, if the activity is to attend a football game and the assigned disability is blindness, then the group needs to determine how they would accommodate a blind person attending a football game.

Provide a thoughtful post of 2-3 paragraphs, citing 1-2 scholarly sources. Remember to encourage discussion, proofread, and demonstrate your understanding of the material by citing properly.

Full Exegesis of a Passage

/in /by

Following the steps given in “Guide to Exegesis,” as well as the “Sample Exegesis James 1:19-21,” complete a full exegesis of Philippians 4:10-14 or an alternative passage assigned or approved by your instructor.

  1. Analyze the sentences and paragraph.
  2. Complete a word study.
  3. Examine historical and sociological contexts.
  4. Prepare a genre and theological analysis.
  5. Apply the biblical insights you have gained from this passage to a ministry situation.
  6. Write a summary of 100-150 words on the meaning and main issues of the passage.

The entire assignment will be 1,500-2,000 words.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

This benchmark assignment assesses the following competencies:

CoT Program Competency for the BA-Christian Studies Biblical Studies Emphasis:

Domain 1: Biblical Foundation

1.3: Demonstrate an ability to analyze, interpret, and apply the Bible to ministry and life.

Here are some tips for the final assignment:

1. Carefully follow the six steps listed in the assignment. The
sample exegesis has a section that we did not cover “Section
One—Establishing the text” and it does not cover all of the
six steps listed in the assignment. Follow the assignment and you will
be fine.

2. For the final assignment you can study Phil 4:21-23 (as indicated
in the syllabus), but it is not an ideal passage to analyze for a
final, if you would like use Phil. 4:10-14, you can use that. It is up
to you.

Process Essay

/in /by

write an essay in which you explain or describe a process of your choosing. There is a fair amount of freedom offered with this assignment, because I don’t want anyone to have to research or learn how to do something new (although you are allowed to). I would recommend choosing a process that you know a great deal about, and then writing an essay describing how that process is performed. Keep in mind whether or not you want your process essay to be Directional or Informational, and remember what each of those types of essays entails.

I am going to ask that the process you describe have at least three steps
