I am confident that the excellent education that I will receive will help me meet the challenges head on and appreciate the rewards as they come. In this essay I will discuss my top three challenges and rewards as it relates to the text and information presented in this course. CHALLENGES The multidimensional aspect of the classroom will be challenging. Having a large number of events occurring at the same time will make it difficult to decide what to deal with first. I will have to be prioritize the events as they unfold, therefore making snap decisions will become an everyday practice. This leads me to another challenge; classroom management. According our textbook from 1960 to 2004, polls identified classroom management as one of teachers’ most challenging problems and from 2004 to present, it ranked second behind only behind school funding. (D.Kauchak, P. Eggen 2011) Lastly, I think that language diversity is a challenge that I may be faced with.

...the career you chose a job or is it your work? I feel a job is just something you go to everyday, but work is something you do that will make a difference in someone's life. I'm hoping that it won't just make a difference in my life, but that of a child's life too. This is the reason I choose this career path in becoming a teacher. “What are three rewards and three challenges that you will face as a teacher?” I'll be talking about these challenges and rewards in the next few pages, on how I feel teaching make a major impact on not only my life, but hopefully the lives of thousands of children to come. At the end of the day I'm hoping to be that one teacher that my students will remember forever. What greater gift could I be given than to make a positive impact in a child's life and future? So, with that said let me begin with the rewards! The first one that comes to mind is the achievements of my students, in more detail student discoveries and the exciting new things they will learn through me teaching in my classroom. In doing so, I can show them how to untangle things they are struggling with, challenges they face, or problems that might occur; by showing them a different light. The smile that comes across a child’s face symbolizing that they understand or I've got it! Is one of the best feelings I feel, a teacher could have. This would show to me that I'm doing my job well and I helped a child cover new exciting things! In hopes that they would not be stuck at...

...Key Challenges in Maintaining a Relationship between LEGO and Flextronics LEGO Group is the fifth-largest toy-maker in the world with a complicated global supply chain, while Flextronics is a large Singaporean electronics manufacturing services provider. So the first challenge between these two large companies when they corporate is to achieve an agreement and maximize the common benefits of both parties. However, Lego Group needs a flexible and market-responsive business because of the unpredictable demand of its product, while the business model of Flextronics is more stable and predictable. It means that Lego may keep releasing new products because of changing market conditions, and these new products have to arrive with a very short time line, but Flextronics cannot keep up with these changes. In addition, Lego bids for a lower price at the beginning and lock it over a long period, which is hard for Lego to convince Flextronics that its profits has been considered as well. Without a profitable business model for both parties, a win-win solution is hard to achieve. The second challenge is especially for Lego, since it has little prior experience in outsourcing a large amount of production, but decide to outsource 80 percent of its production to Flextronics. There will be many unexpected situations. Lego doesn’t have an accurate picture of what should happen when. In particular, Lego is a European company while Flextronics is from Singapore. They may have different...

...Unit 1 Assignment1: DARPA Challenge 1. How would you define this problem? What are the major problem components, and what obstacles do you foresee? -Finding a way to operate through an unknown course with no interaction by the builders. Weather, equipment failure and unknown terrain changes could all become obstacles that will hinder the ability to finish the race on time. 2. How fast do you need to go to complete the course in the allotted time? -An average speed of 17.5 MPH would be acceptable. Top speed should be somewhere around 50 MPH if conditions are good enough to do so. 3. What is the fallacy of considering the above average speed – what do you need to consider? -Exceeding above a nice steady speed of 17.5 MPH places more risks with unknown weather and road conditions. You would need to consider the forecast for the day and road conditions to match. 4. What strategies can you use to avoid obstacles -Radar, GPS, cameras to detect obstacles around the vehicle and Ladar. 5. What are some disadvantages of the route information you receive, in terms of the vehicle driving the route? -Not knowing the distance between 1 GPS location and the other, and not knowing if the coordinates given are going in a straight path or curving off to one side or the other. 6. What strategies can you use to prepare your vehicle for the route once you receive the information? -If possible the best thing to do would be to try and pre-determine what path the vehicle is taking...

...DARPA Challenge The define problem in this challenge is building an autonomous vehicle capable of traversing 175 miles off road in the desert in less than 10 hours. There are many major problems and obstacles in this challenge that could happen. There can be over heating in the electrical equipment and the engines, and also traction control. Also some obstacles that could be faced are some landscape problems such as all the sand and dirt in the desert, also traction control can be an issues. The group thinks that speed limit you would need to go to complete the course in the allotted time would range from 20mph to 30mph. In consideration you would also have to think about the course and its problems. Such as all the wild life that the vehicle would come across, also anther thing to think about is all the stops and turns in the route and the conditions of the landscape. In this challenge the vehicle wouldn’t be going a constant speed, so you would have to keep that in mind. Some strategies to avoid problems and obstacles that you can take to mind is modifying your vehicle by putting four wheel drive, cooling systems for all the electronics that produce heat, putting in a GPS system, putting in sensors and cameras also reducing the weight of the vehicle. The disadvantages of the route information that we would be receiving would be no exact route. The route would be in the middle of the desert so there for there are no roads. Anther disadvantage is the vehicle is only limited...

What are the major problem components, and what obstacles do you for see? * Terrain/weather conditions (Unexpected bumps / road damage, majority of which is out of our control, but we will work around them by equipping the vehicle properly) * Vehicle (Making sure the vehicle has proper gear and can withstand terrain/weather conditions) * Route (Tunnel shutting out equipment for navigation, turns, off course) How fast do you need to go to complete the course in the allotted time? It takes 17.5 mph to finish 175 miles in 10 hours but considering the obstacles, turns, and weather/terrain conditions we can boost it to 19 mph giving us an estimated finish time of 9:12:37 What is the fallacy of considering the above average speed- what you need to consider? * Turns from mountain passes will cause the vehicle to slow down * Weather conditions such as rain, dust storms and heat could cause the vehicle to wither and slow down * Road hazards / obstacles such as holes in the ground causing vehicle to get stuck, rocks that may block the vehicle What strategies can you use to avoid obstacles? * Scanner systems (RADAR, LIDAR, GPS) for tracking, routing and incoming obstacle detection * 4 wheel drive letting the car maneuver faster and run smoother off road * Vehicle suspension with added aerodynamic side skirts/ from heavy...

...Thesis: The challenges of being a single parent include managing finances, responsibilities and resources The challenge of being a single parent has become harder over time. The fact is that over time things have changed but not for a single parent. Statics show that there has been a steady rise for five decades and that the births to unmarried women has crossed a threshold. An example of this would be, a single mom that can’t provide day care for her child because her income is not enough to pay the bills and day care. The challenges of being a single parent include, managing finances, responsibilities and resources, their work is never done nor are their struggles. One of the challenges a single mom has raising her son and daughter would be getting up at 4am taking 3 buses to transport her children to her mother (who lives on the other side of town). Spending 2 hours getting there and another 3 buses and a hour and a half getting to work. There is a limit on everything she does because she does not have the opportunity to get an education, she has to work and provide for her family. Pawning valuables to make ends meet when money is short, living from pay check to pay check. Child support is another challenge for a single mom when the children’s father does not work, all the financial responsibility is on the single parent. Another challenge to a single mom is that because she is a woman, to keep from being taken advantage of, she will pay more money for rent to keep...

What strategies would help you overcome the challenges? My general approach to this situation would be to ensure that I understand exactly what the user is intending to do, and what version of Excel they are using. A possible challenge to this situation is that the customer wants to use a program that is completely new to him. To overcome this challenge, I will speak to the customer slowly so that they can understand the basics of Exel. If causes to the problem or question described by the customer are unclear in the situation, explain how you would further diagnose the problem or question.

...| Overcoming The Challenges | What lies ahead for the new pediatric satellite clinic | | Abstract The purpose of this document is to discuss the opening of a new pediatric satellite clinic in a place of my choosing. For this document, I will be choosing Charlotte, NC; which is close to my hometown. This essay will discuss several challenges that lay ahead with this project, such as; recruiting and retaining staff; types of services and resources; building rapport with the community and surrounding counties; finances and profitability of the clinic; technology; and compliance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations. These challenges will also be further broken down and explain ways that administration can overcome these challenges so that the project is successful. Lastly, there will be a discussion on specific skills and knowledge that administration needs to utilize when opening the new clinic and to manage staff. The decision to expand the Pediatric Community Care Center has provided other communities the chance to receive quality care close to their home. This decision also poses great risks and challenges. Overcoming these challenges will be no easy feat; however, with careful consideration and implementing the right course, this project should be a success.
