...Brittany Thomas September 15, 2014 ECED 3271 Fall 2014 How Threats And Stress Affect Learning A student’s academic success in school is typically measured based on their individual progress in the classroom. Educators sometimes make the mistake of assuming a student’s achievements coincide with their effort, desire, and ability to learn the required material. These classifications seem simple to us, yet they are much more complex than that. The success or failure of students in school can be directly affected by various factors, which include but are not limited to, socioeconomic status, learning disabilities, or even a lack of motivation. However, the largest contributor of all of these factors is stress. Excess stress and threat has been proven to have a detrimental effect on students’ performance in the classroom. Although educators strive to help students cope with stress there are measures that can be taken to minimize stress and establish a better learning environment for all students. Chronic stress and threats directly affect the brain of students. Stress can derive from issues in students’ home life, relationships, academic, or even physical development. When we stress a hormone called cortisol is released. Chronic stress leads to elevated levels of cortisol, which has harmful effects to our bodies and can lead to memory loss, weakened immune systems, and can also impair students’ ability to sort out what is important and what is not. As a result, if a student...

...ENSR International Which of the proposed solutions do you favour and why? Of the 3 options provided, I would choose to implement Anderson’s key account program for several reasons: 1. It will help align employee compensation with overall corporate profit objectives. CSC managers are currently compensated based on their CSCs profit performance. This gives managers the incentives to employ their own CSC consultants on projects from the region, regardless if there are better-suited ENSR consultants working under different CSCs. Depending on the specific needs of a prospective client in the manager’s region, the CSC may or may not contain the necessary expertise to win a project. Implementing a key account program will allow the right expertise to be allocated to the right accounts. 2. Clients often need a certain type of expertise across a range of geographic locations outside the CSC’s area. Under the current system, the client would need to build new relationships with several CSCs dispersed geographically. This requires a great deal of company resources, including consultant time and money. Under a key account program, the relationship would be limited to one project team. This heightens the chance of building a strong relationship with the client. Relationships between clients and suppliers are becoming increasingly important, since there is a new industry trend where clients are limiting the number of suppliers/consultants employed by the firm. 3. By following...

Email: james.bennett@stcatz.ox.ac.uk The Home Bursar also acts as a point of contact for representatives of the student Common Rooms, the JCR and MCR, on what are called ‘domestic’ matters – the areas covered by this section of the website. The way St Catherine’s works means that good ideas and comments on how things are done can usually be very quickly acted on if they are raised directly with the appropriate member of staff. However, there are situations when a more formal approach might be required. In these cases, matters can be raised with one of the Home Bursar’s departmental Managers (Accommodation, Maintenance and Accounts), either directly or through JCR or MCR representatives. Separate pages are provided in this section for these managers.

...in three separate towns. The current staff includes 18 attorneys (three of whom have become partners), three paralegals, and six secretaries. For the first time in the firm’s existence, the partners feel that they are losing control of their overall operation. The firm’s current caseload, number of employees, number of clients, travel requirements, and facilities management needs have grown far beyond anything that the original partners had ever imagined. Attorney Jeter called a meeting of the partners to discuss the matter. Before the meeting, opinions about the pressing problems of the day and proposed solutions were sought from the entire staff.

...Campbell and Bailyn’s Boston Office: Managing The Reorganization Situation Analysis Ken Winston, the regional sales manager for the Boston office of Campbell and Bailvn, prepared presentation at the annual year-end meeting of the bond division’s leadership team. Because Boston office was the second largest office in the company, its sales group was used as a bellwether in the new products and management ideas. So, Winston put forward two changes about the company – Key account team (KAT) and a division-wide performance management. Based on these two changes, many salespeople in his division thought they’re unnecessary, even though it may not be work.

One of the products was the taxable bonds which were the biggest segment and sold mortgage-backed securities, high yield corporate debt, bond futures and options, government securities, and derivative products.

...IT’S MY BIKE Debbie Martin was overjoyed when she was selected the new Supplier Quantity Manager for the commercial product division of Cold Air Corporation. In this role, she was responsible for monitoring the quality of component parts for twelve production lines scattered throughout the large manufacturing plant. When she started the new position, Debbie knew she would be faced with many opportunities and conflicts. Her immediate supervisor, the manager of shipping and receiving, was not known as an easy person to work for. He expected his subordinates to have a take charge attitude and to avoid bothering him with trivial issues. What Debbie had not envisioned was just how trivial and non-productive some of the conflicts in her new position would be. She certainly had not expected to be on the verge of a fistfight. Debbie was just starting her shift when she received a telephone call from Ronnie, one of her subordinates. Ronnie was a purchasing parts inspector, and was responsible for inspecting certain incoming parts for all production lines in the plant. He was complaining that the Airhandler Quality team had borrowed “the bike” for a special project and would not return it. He reminded Debbie of his current project and how covering the entire 15-acre plant on foot would only delay completion of the project. Debbie rolled her eyes as she thought about the logistics of inspecting component past’s three separate buildings. She also realized that Ronnie had a...

Palmer was impressed with the team assigned to work with him but one particular individual stood out. Zeke Olds is an accountant on the Palmer’s team who received a double major in accounting and computer sciences making him more than qualified. After account manager Ken Crosby joined the M&M team he also noticed the great knowledge and strengths Olds had to offer. Since Palmer and Crosby are players for the same team M&M they agreed to use Olds on both projects although this is against usual protocol. Ruby Sands is the office manager responsible for assigning personnel to different accounts amongst the company. She does her best to make fair and logical decisions but sometimes she has to assign accountants to work on projects led by different managers.
