...ENG M 501 – Assignment #4 Assigned 29 January 2013 – Not Due Problem 1 (2 points) Magic, Inc. carried out a time study of an existing job to develop new time standards. A worker was observed for 50 minutes. During that period, 42 units were produced. The analyst rated the worker as performing at an 85 percent performance rate. Allowances in the firm for rest and personal time are 10 percent. a. What is the normal time for the task? b. What is the standard time for the task? Problem 2 (2 points) According to the process supervisor of Magic, Inc., one of their machines, the Fantasy 2000, appears to be idle approximately 25 percent of the time.

Use the random numbers from the table provided on eClass to derive the first day’s sampling schedule. Assume that the sampling will take place over 60 days, and that you use seven-hour shifts from each day 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Problem 3 (2 points) Fantasy Park has two service desks, one at each entrance of the park. Customers arrive at each service desk at an average of one every six minutes.

...1 Lawren Bradberry ENG 501-Online #11389 November 15, 2012 By any other name… We should all be as wise as Shakespeare. In Romeo and Juliet, he wrote, “What's in a name? / that which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet;” (2.2.43-44). Debates continue regarding the proposed changes to the name of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) to Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI). Some argue the stigmatizing power behind the word disorder creates a barrier to service members and veterans seeking care for mental health needs. Supporters assert changing the name will “will reduce the stigma that stops troops from seeking treatment” (Jaffe, 2012). Retired Army General Peter Chiarelli, a major supporter of the change, argues: Calling the condition a "disorder" perpetuates a bias against the mental health illness and "has the connotation of being something that is a pre-existing problem that an individual has" before they came into the Army and "makes the person seem weak," (as cited in Sagalyn, 2012, p. 1; emphasis added) As of May 2012, 247,243 veterans were seen for potential PTSD at Veterans Health Administration facilities following their return from Iraq or Afghanistan (Veterans Administration [VA], 2012). If the “D” is replaced with and “I”, will this significantly diminish the stigma reported by General Chiarelli? I argue that the stigma is not in the name; the stigma is within and perpetuated by military culture...

...had failed. What reasons are given for this failure? What does Chabon say about childhood in the essay? (http://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/04-42-2-c.pdf) Learning Outcome: Learners will demonstrate their comprehension of assigned readings by writing concise summaries that identify the author’s main point (thesis) and supporting ideas, paraphrasing and quoting key words and phrases when necessary to avoid plagiarism they require considerable thought to write – it is easy to get them wrong and create a learning strait jacket. Learners will identify the shape of text (e.g. introduction, body, and conclusion) by reading non-fiction essays and articles. Description of activity and assessment: Since the intent of the unit is to assess writing standards, I know that they needed to provide a well-written product. In this case, I would still provide them with some choice. Additionally, the standards I chose had to do with evidence, and so they needed to do research, cite evidence, and make sure that it aligned to their ideas in their written product, a common, standards-aligned rubric that would be used to assess all the products to ensure that all students were meeting the same outcomes. Activity 4 Duration: 15 – 20 minutes Language: I may assign my learners one of the following projects or ask them to choose a project to complete individually or in a group of...

...track the version of this assignment and your assignment progress. You MUST submit the assignments using the Word document(s) provided you. You may not use any other word processor, except Microsoft Word. Do not use Open Office DOCX files. When an instructor has possession of an electronic document it is very easy to detect plagiarism. Many instructors use Turnitin assignments, which is applicable to assignments that permit cut-and-paste as this assignment. It is very easy to compare multiple copies of word documents (see link below). Microsoft provides a variety of FREE anti-plagiarizing tools. And there is a wide variety of tools that can analyze hidden information within a Word document (see sample link below). Changing fonts, margins and spacing does not do it anymore. Even when individuals try to artificially change content, a Word document contains hidden markers that may provide an audit trail to find previous authors and computer systems who have edited the document.

...distress, education level, and critical reflective practice (CRP) related to their work engagement. The study is relevant to nursing, given registered nurse (RN) documented experiences of job-related distress and work dissatisfaction, and the nursing shortage crisis. A better understanding of factors that may enhance RN work engagement is needed. METHODS. A non-experimental, descriptive, correlational design was used to examine the relationships among four variables: moral distress, education level, CRP, and work engagement. The sample included 28 intensive care unit RNs from three separate ICUs in a 355-bed Southwest magnet-designated hospital. RESULTS. There was a positive direct relationship between CRP and work engagement, a negative direct relationship between moral distress and work engagement, and CRP and moral distress, together, explained 47% of the variance in work engagement. Additionally, in the neonatal intensive care unit, a positive direct relationship between increased educational level and CRP was identified, with a suggested negative relationship between increased education level and moral distress. IMPLICATIONS. Strategies to promote CRP and reduce moral distress are recommended, to promote RN work engagement. Additionally, further study on the role of education in...
