6-2 Discussion: Final Project

Now that you have completed your decision matrix, you will discuss your decision-making process and how you have used the matrix. For this discussion, you should NOT post your matrix but rather use it as a tool to evaluate your business. In your initial post, address the following:

  • Explain how you could use the matrix in a different business/technology scenario. Give an example.
  • What was the most challenging part of applying this matrix to the final project?
  • What recommendations would you make to change your project, given some of the challenges you faced?

Respond to two of your peers’ initial posts and consider the following:

  • How does your decision-making process compare to your peers’ process?

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.

I need two classmate replys. I will post them after I receive my initial discussion. If needed will extend time to do the replys for classmates

Unit VI Assignment-HR

  1. Unit VI AssignmentThere are several standardized training events in large organizations that are required annually or biannually. One of these is often sexual harassment. For this assignment, write a training plan for all employees in your firm to educate and develop their awareness of sexual harassment and understanding of legal and organizational policies. Be sure to include training aspects of planning, design, implementation, and evaluation.This plan should be in narrative form with a minimum requirement of 500 words. Discuss the following guidelines to complete your plan.
    • Planning: Should all employees be trained at once? If not, who should be trained first? What are the anticipated outcomes or terminal learning objectives of the training?
    • Design: In what format should the training be given, and why? What modalities will be used for employees on multiple shifts or in multiple locations? What are the core elements of the training that will align with the learning objectives?
    • Implementation: Who will lead the training, and how will it be implemented? Will you be training for knowledge or behavior change? How will you conduct the actual training to account for knowledge and/or behavioral change?
    • Evaluation: How will you know if the training was successful? What measures will you use to know if employees1) learned from the training, 2) behaved differently after the training, and 3) the training has a bottom line impact to the firm?Any sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

Objectives: This module aims to enhance students’ understanding of the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Katrina on the New Orleans flood protection systems.

Case History:

Katrina remains one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes in U.S. history, with more than 1,800 lives lost and damages estimated at over $100 billion. When the levees failed, about 80 percent of New Orleans flooded. More than 1 million people across the Gulf Coast were forced to leave their homes — many never returned.

An independent levee investigation team final report was issued on July 31, 2006. This report contained the observations and findings of an investigation by an independent team of professional engineers and researchers with a wide array of expertise (Report Link)

Please review the following materials:

-Overview of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath (Chapter 2, posted on Canvas)

-Geology of the New Orleans Regions (Chapter 3, posted on Canvas)

-History of the New Orleans Flood Protection System (Chapter 4, posted on Canvas)

-Summary of Engineering Lessons (Chapter 11, )

-Sea-Level Rise and Subsidence: Implications for Flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana (USGS Paper)

assignment

The geology underlying New Orleans is very complex due to both natural and man-made processes. The Mississippi river is the most dominant natural feature shaping the geology of New Orleans. Land subsidence and sea level rise are the supporting natural processes. Settlement and erosion characteristics of the sediments were altered by the man made processes of urbanization and dewatering. The major design flaws of the levees, intensity of Hurricane Katrina and the coupling of these various mechanisms led to one of the most severe crises in the history of the United States. Hurricane Katrina was a major disaster from which the city of New Orleans may never recover. However, engineers and geologists can learn from the failure and try not to repeat the mistakes of their predecessors.

Please put together a technical note (4 to 6 singles spaced pages including the figures and tables) summarizing your opinions and suggestions.

For this assignment, students will be required to select a single character for who they will chart the character’s attitudes, behaviors, and thoughts throughout the play. To do so students will fabricate a digital relationship between the character and another individual or individuals with whom the character will communicate to relay the events of a given scene. This communication may be via text, social media, messaging, etc.

Ask yourself, what is it this particular character would say about the events of a given scene to someone who was not present?

This assignment must do the following:

  • Select a character from the approved list below.
  • Include at least one message per scene in which the character appears (multiple texts should the given scene call for it).
  • Define the medium of the message (if relevant).
  • Define who the recipient(s) of the message are.

craft elements discussion

INTRODUCTION

( I uploaded those materials that you need for you to view.)

Craft elements refer to the building blocks of fiction/poetry. They include things like plot, character, point of view, imagery, rhyme, rhythm, meter, etc. Craft elements are the tools that writers use to build works of fiction/poetry, just as other types of artists use paint, clay, wood, metal, concrete, and even digital media to build creations for the sake of art, communication, or business. Creators use the tools of their craft to guide their audiences to focus on what’s most important in their creations. So, as readers of fiction/poetry, it’s worthwhile to ask how authors construct their creative work, and why they make their craft-related choices. And as creators ourselves, it’s crucial to consider how we can/should use the craft tools we have to construct our fiction/poetry.

1. Part one: point of view

FIRST, read the Point of View handout,Shirley Jackson “The Lottery” and Lorrie Moore “A Kid’s Guide to Divorce.”

SECOND, post your responses on the following items on this discussion board:

  1. What point of view (POV) are these two stories told from?
  2. Why do you think the authors chose these POVs? (Consider: Why are these POVs effective/appropriate for these stories? How might the stories change if the authors had chosen different POVs?)

THIRD, post at least ONE thoughtful response to a classmates’ original post. Focus your response on adding to the original poster’s thoughts on why the POV in Jackson’s or Moore’s stories are/are not effective. You can agree or disagree, so long as you’re adding a new or deeper perspective to the original poster’s thoughts. You can also play devil’s advocate again, as you did in a previous discussion forum.

FOURTH, Think long and hard about your Point of View options in your own work–how might you use POV? What are the advantages/disadvantages to each option? Which option best suits your fiction/poetry? Apply your learning to your own work!

Part two:

FIRST, read the Rhythm-Meter-Rhyme and listen to the audio file of “My Papa’s Waltz.”Play media comment.

SECOND, use the items above to understand how incredibly important this info is to poetry–and also to fiction and even casual conversation!

Examples from everyday language: Rhythm and meter tell us what words/syllables to stress.

Consider, a sign hanging outside an auto repair shop reads, “German Car Specialists.” German CAR Specialists means something very different than GERMAN Car Specialists, doesn’t it? After all, do we care what nationality our mechanics are?

A sign hanging outside a seafood restaurant reads, “All You Can Eat Shrimp!” ALL You Can EAT SHRIMP means something very different than “All You can EAT, SHRIMP!” The latter isn’t going to draw a lot of customers, I think.

THIRD, Post a message on the forum below that addresses the following items:

  • See if you can identify the rhythm and meter Roethke uses in his poem, and share some thoughts on why he might have chosen this rhythm/meter. How does it impact the subject of the poem? Why might this rhythm/meter be an appropriate choice for this poem?
  • Many readers believe this poem is about something negative–abuse, neglect, etc. Other readers believe it’s a happy, nostalgic memory. Which is it? And what specific craft elements help readers answer this question?

Part three:

FIRST, read Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” and the “Setting-Description-Image-Word Choice handout

SECOND, post a forum message that responds to the following items. Post your message in the “Setting, description, word choice” forum thread.

  • The American and Jig are having a heated discussion about something. What is it? What craft elements in the story help readers understand the subject of the characters’ conversation?
  • Based on your understanding of what setting is and how it works in creative writing, comment on how Hemingway seems to be using setting in his story.
  • By the end of Hemingways’ story, what decision does Jig make? How do you know (what evidence is there in the story itself to support your ideas)?

Felid experience assignment on Baltimore City Street Art

    1. Paragraph
      One
      will name the event, giving its category (musical performance,
      literary event, theatrical performance, lecture/reading, etc.), location,
      time, and date you attended. 
      Attach a program, ticket, or brochure.
    2. Paragraph
      Two
      is an extended summary of the purpose and scope of the event,
      using its genre-relate vocabulary. 
      What was the event about? What did it set out to do? What were its
      major points or emphases? Was there a specific order to the presentation?
      This section needs to be developed well and may have more than one
      paragraph. Where an exhibit is large, concentrate on a particular aspect
      rather than cover all of it. This paragraph is the nucleus of your
      experience and should be informative, specific, and encompassing.
    3. Paragraph
      Three
      includes extended and supported critical comments. Did the
      event seem to accomplish its purpose? If, so, what evidence can you cite?
      What specific effect did it have on you or on its particular audience?
      What specific recommendation would you make to change or improve the event
      for its particular audience? Just throwing out words like “great,”
      “good,” “excellent,” “needs improvement,” and “enjoyable” will not
      suffice.                                           **Proofread
      carefully for organization, development, correctness of expression,

grammar, and mechanics.  Follow manuscript directions, submitting the
assignment in your folder.
