...Solving Personal Problems: Applying the Five-Step Model J Gonzales April 25, 2016 The objective is to control the problem and not allow the problem to control you. To productively manage a situation you have to practice using the 5-step model. The first step in the 5-step model is pinning the problem. The second step is establish your options. The third step is determine the advantages and disadvantages of each option. The fourth step is electing the solution you feel best suits. The fifth step is evaluating if the solution chosen is effective (John Chaffee, 2014). In week 2, we discussed barriers and learned to identify them to rid ourselves from them. This was a great lesson however, from personal experience I can tell you that it takes more than just identifying the problems to make change. In recent years, I went through a divorce and a change in careers that have forced me to sit and examine my finances. I have set goals, time and time again, to save X amount of money each year for my children's college fund and have created spreadsheets on how I can accomplish this. While it looked great on paper and the system appeared solid, I always came up short on my goals and I realized that other areas of my finances were also being affected. After studying critical thinking and the five-step model the last couple of weeks, I discovered that the first step to fulfill my goal (s) was to identify the problem. The problem is me. I have failed to take full responsibility for my...

...Lab 4.1 – Pseudocode and Modules (“UTP Installed”) Critical ReviewA Module is a group of statements that exists within a program for the purpose of performing a specific task.Modules are commonly called procedures, subroutines, subprogram, methods, and functions.The code for a module is known as a module definition. To execute the module, you write a statement that calls it.The format for a module definition is as follows:Module name()StatementStatementEtc.End ModuleCalling a module is normally done from the Main() module such as:Call name()Generally, local variables should be used and arguments should be passed by reference when the value of the variable is changed in the module and needs to be retained. For example:Module main()Real Integer numberCall inputData(number)Call printData(number)End Module// Accepts number as a reference so that changed value// will be retainedModule inputData(Real Ref number)number = 20End Module// number does not need to be sent as reference because// number is not going to be modifiedModule printData(Real number)Display “The number is “, numberEnd Module | This lab requires you to think about the steps that take place in a program by writing pseudocode. Read the following program prior to completing the lab. Data Communications Corp wants a small program that will calculate the cost of UTP it installs for their clients. Write a program that will ask the user to input the name of the client, the number of feet of cable installed. The program...

...VLANs A VLAN is a switched network that is logically segmented by function, project team, or application, without regard to the physical locations of the users. VLANs have the same attributes as physical LANs, but you can group end stations even if they are not physically located on the same LAN segment. Any switch module port can belong to a VLAN, and unicast, broadcast, and multicast packets are forwarded and flooded only to end stations in the VLAN. Each VLAN is considered a logical network, and packets destined for stations that do not belong to the VLAN must be forwarded through a router, as shown in Figure 11-1. Because a VLAN is considered a separate logical network, it contains its own bridge MIB information and can support its own implementation of spanning tree. See Chapter 17, “Configuring STP” in the Cisco CGS 2520 Software Configuration Guide . Figure 11-1 shows an example of VLANs segmented into logically defined networks. Figure 11-1 VLANs as Logically Defined Networks VLANs are often associated with IP subnetworks. For example, all the end stations in a particular IP subnet belong to the same VLAN. Interface VLAN membership on the switch module is assigned manually on an interface-by-interface basis. When you assign...

...Lab 7: Functions This lab accompanies Chapter 6 of Starting Out with Programming Logic & Design. Name: ___________________________ Lab 7.1 – Functions and Pseudocode Critical Review You have been coding with modules in pseudocode and functions when using Python. You modules in pseudocode can be made into functions by returning a value. A function is a special type of module that returns a value back to the part of the program that called it. Most programming languages provide a library of prewritten functions that perform commonly needed tasks. Library functions are built into the programming language and you can call them as needed. They are commonly performed tasks. Help Video: View the tutorial video titled, "lab7-1.wmv" to assist you in completing this lab assignment. Writing Your Own Function that Returns an Integer Step 1: A function contains three parts: a header, a body, and a return statement. The first is a function header which specifies the data type of the value that is to be returned, the name of the function, and any parameter variables used by the function to accept arguments. The body is comprised of one or more statements that are executed when the function is called. In the following space, complete the following: (Reference: Writing Your Own Functions, page 225). a. Write a function with the header named addTen. b. The function will accept an Integer variable named number. c. The function body will...

...1. The 10-step process for developing training courses The process for developing performance-based training includes the following 10 steps. The first four steps constitute the task analysis that is necessary to design and develop relevant, useful training materials. Steps 5–10 constitute the design and development process. 1. Define the target population for training. 2. List the tasks to be performed by the target population on the job. 3. List the skills and knowledge needed to do the tasks. 4. Select the skills and knowledge to be taught. (These make up the “training objectives.”) 5. Organize the selected skills and knowledge into suitable teaching units (modules) and develop the training design (including brief outlines of module content and planned training methods). 6. Draft expanded outlines of modules, including instructional objectives, main body of text, and descriptions of training methods, examples and exercises. 7. Experts provide realistic examples and information for use in exercises. 8. Draft the complete modules, facilitator guidelines, and course director guidelines. 9. Field-test the training materials. 10. Revise and finalize training materials based on the field test. 1.1 Defining the target population The target population is the group of learners for whom the training is intended. It is critical to define this group in order to design the training appropriately. For example, training for clinicians would be very different from training...
