In Week 3, you submitted your test specifications. Now, you should incorporate your Instructor’s feedback and create your test items. Remember to write your items so that they are clear and unambiguous. Avoid compound items (e.g., “I am happy most days and I usually like to smile”). Also make sure that the items are representative of the construct that you are measuring.

I was kind of expecting to see you use the form that accompanies the assignment instructions. I like the opening paragraph that builds a foundation for psychological testing. It appears that you want to focus on the construct of “intelligence” which is good. The next part of the assignment was to suggest how you would define the construct. I didn’t see much there as you moved into information on the WAIS. The next section was supposed to focus on areas that you would use to help you create items (interviews, or the literature) and then you were to present an item that you wrote that would be used to measure the construct.

I think you are off a little with the expectation of the assignment. This is an assignment designed to start you on the steps of creating your own scale.

Individual Project by serving your local community

Many class projects involve case studies or simulations involving fictional companies or organizations. To create a database for a fictional company, students would face hypothetical problems, but a student would not have the experience of dealing with real people or the real-world problems of an organization.

In this service learning based project, you are expected to identify a local small business (for example, a grocery store) in your community, and apply your knowledge about IT and business to analyze the role of IT for this business, and develop an IT Plan for it. The plan would specify (at a high level) the key IT applications that the business should focus on, the underlying infrastructure technologies necessary to support these applications, how to go about achieving this (e.g., sequencing the introduction of major applications), whether services should be delivered via in-house resources or outsources, etc. Explain how the IT plan is consistent with (and whether it suggests changes to) the business needs, financial resources, competitive position etc.

You can assume that you are hired by a local small business company as an IT consultant. You are given 500-10,000 dollars to improve or setup its information systems. What is your Information System plan for the company?

A useful way to structure your research and project results is the following.

1. Introduce the context: the small business company introduction, its products, markets, and mission.
2. Discuss the problems with its current information processing abilities – analyze whether it is inadequate in satisfying computing requirements, misaligned with firm strategy, not cost effective etc.
3. Develop and justify your proposed IT strategy. What new technologies should be introduced? What applications would they support, and who would use them to do what differently?
4. Summary.

The report of the project will be at least 6 pages (Double Space) excluding references, summary, and title page.

All references and sources must be listed.

The focus of this assignment is the application of nine lenses of opportunity to BMW Group. This paper is to assess how each of the lenses could or currently does apply and what is the relative risk—resources expended—versus potential revenue and profit. All lenses may not apply; if they do not, why? In each case, begin with the theory behind the lens followed by your application to the selected case study organization. Keep in mind the implications of sustainability:

• The enduring nature of the opportunities.
• How the opportunities reflect the impact of environmental concerns.
• The last step is to create an opportunity map demonstrating the lenses, using the Sample Opportunity Map as a guide. The opportunity map plots opportunities over time (X-axis) compared to potential impact on the business (Y-axis) divided in three primary sections:
  • In the business—incremental.
  • On the business—new offering or value proposition.
  • Out of the business—redefines the business or category.
• Additional requirements:
  • Written communication: Must be free of errors, scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the business profession.
• • APA formatting: Your essay should be formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.
  • Length: Minimum of 2,400 words, Times New Roman, 12-point font.
  • Structure: Please include the following sections using APA headings (no abstract required):
    • Introduction.
    • Body headings as appropriate.
    • Conclusions.
  • References: A minimum of five PRJ or PJ references.

Write a paper from a biblical worldview perspective that develops on the legal concepts of (1) the elements of a contract and how contracts differ from the biblical covenant; and (2) responsibility and how Christians should fulfill business obligations.

Compose the research paper in accordance with APA standards and cite a minimum of six (6) scholarly peer reviewed sources as references, as well as multiple biblical references (word count range 1400-1600 words).

1. Make sure you write a paper rather than merely discuss miscellaneous topics (your information needs to flow with an introduction, a roadmap, and a conclusion);
2. Make sure you discuss legal topics and include biblical perspectives on the principles (not only one or the other);
3. Try to write in active voice rather than passive;
4. Try to write without using the word “it” (you do not need “it”); and
