Misunderstanding 1 Who was the sender? Myself-a packer Who was the receiver? Spanish non-bilingual employee-an inspector What was the message? Instruction on which product to inspect What channel was used to send the message? Face-to-face verbal communication What was the misunderstanding that occurred? The employee didn’t understand the instructions because of a language barrier. Both of us were non-bilingual. How could the misunderstanding have been avoided? I should have had a translator before I started conveying the message. When answering questions 1 and 2 below, your response should include the following: • Cite meaningful understanding rather than a general or less material misunderstanding. • Use business- or work-related examples. • Identify the roles of the sender and receiver, such as manager, peer, subordinate, client, vendor, and so forth. 1. What did you learn about the communication process from this activity? What I learned from this activity is that the most common elements within the communication process were not enough for my message to be received properly by the Spanish-only speaking employee. My packer position was above inspectors which allowed me to correct any mistakes that the inspectors had made when inspecting the product. It also allowed...

...Diagnostic Algebra Assessment Definitions Categories Equality Symbol Misconception Graphing Misconception Definition Concept of a Variable Misconception Equality Symbol Misconception As algebra teachers, we all know how frustrating it can be to teach a particular concept and to have a percentage of our students not get it. We try different approaches and activities but to no avail. These students just do not seem to grasp the concept. Often, we blame the students for not trying hard enough. Worse yet, others blame us for not teaching students well enough. Students often learn the equality symbol misconception when they begin learning mathematics. Rather than understanding that the equal sign indicates equivalence between the expressions on the left side and the right side of an equation, students interpret the equal sign as meaning “do something” or the sign before the answer. This problem is exacerbated by many adults solving problems in the following way: 5 × 4 + 3 = ? 5 × 4 = 20 + 3 = 23 Students may also have difficulty understanding statements like 7 = 3 + 4 or 5 = 5, since these do not involve a problem on the left and an answer on the right. Falkner presented the following problem to 6th grade classes: 8 + 4 = [] + 5 All 145 students gave the answer of 12 or 17. It can be assumed that students got 12 since 8 + 4 = 12. The 17 may be from those who continued the problem: 12 + 5 = 17. Students with this misconception may also have difficulty with the idea that adding...

...Team B Calorie Count Tool PRG/211 May 5, 2014 Team B Calorie Count Tool PROBLEM STATEMENT Team B was asked to develop a program which would calculate the user’s daily intake of calories and measure those calories against the overall calories expended. The core purpose of this program will do two primary functions. First, it will record the user intake of calories as acquired through meals throughout the day. Second, the user will record caloric output associated with physical activity. This information will be calculated together to determine the caloric surplus or deficit for the user. In order for the program to execute accurately, and provide customized results, the user will be required to input personal data to include gender, age, weight, and height. This additional information is essential to determine the user’s default caloric burn rate, otherwise known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The BMR and the calories burned as a result of physical activity will be calculated against the intake of calories to determine the overall success for the user. As the program is executed it must: * Record user name, age, height, weight to enable more accurate calculations * Record the users specific caloric values entered for each meal * Record the user activity and caloric burn values for that activity * Calculate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) for the individual * Subtotal the total caloric values for the day * Combine the physical activity and...

The operand (the value on which the operator operates ) of the unary operator must have arithmetic or pointer type and the result is the value of the argument. Example:- If a=5 then +a means 5 If a=0 then +a means 0. If a=-4 then +a means -4. Ternary operator:- It precedes an operand. The operand of the unary operator must have arithmetic type and the result is the negation of the operand’s value. Example:- If a=5 then –a means -5 If a=0 then –a means 0 If a=-4 then –a means 4. (b) Assignment and equalto operator Assignment operator:- Equal to operator: An assignment operator assigns value In this we put the To a variable. value as it is.

...Selection statements Selection is used to select which statements are to be performed next based on a condition being true or false. Relational expressions In the solution of many problems, different actions must be taken depending on the value of the data. The if statement in C I used to implement such s decision structure in its simplest form – that of selecting a statement to be executed only if a condition is satisfied. Syntax: if(condtion) statement executed if condition is true When an executing program encounters the if statement, the condition is evaluated to determine its numerical value, which is then interpreted as either true or false. If the condition evaluates to any non-0 value (positive or negative), the condition is considered as a “true” condition and the statement following the if is executed; otherwise this statement is not executed. Relational Operators In C Relational operator | Meaning | Example | < | Less than | age < 30 | > | Greater than | height > 6.2 | <= | Less than or equal to | taxable <= 200000 | >= | Greater than or equal to | temp >= 98.6 | == | Equal to | grade == 100 | != | Not equal to | number !=250 | In creating relational expressions, the relational operators must be typed exactly as given in the above table. Thus, although the following relational expressions are all valid: age > 40 length <= 50 temp >= 98.6 3 < 4 flag == done day != 5 The following are invalid: length =< 50 ...

I get information from the corporate chain above me, and then I must relay this on to my employees under me, if this information isn’t transmitted properly then our business can’t thrive. During the holiday season we have a lot of procedures and a new set of rules that we must follow as a whole. Now being a manager it is my job to be sure each and every employee goes over the information sent to me. New procedures included certain items can only be sold in limited quantities per customer, we can only load a certain amount of money on a gift card per transaction, as well as new scams and shifty things to look out for.

...Assignment 1: Fundamentals of Effective Communication in the workplace BUS 100 05/10/2014 Professor: The ability to communicate is one of the key factors to have a successful business. You could offer an excellent product or service, but if you’re unable to promote your services and communicate effectively with clients and co-workers the potential for growth is limited. The principle areas of communication are: Purpose, Style and listening. The Purpose: Today’s society focuses on customers’ satisfaction, most business ask the consumer to take surveys to learn more about their experience. It is highly important to make sure our customers leave happy and satisfied with our service, and if they feel any different we need to get involved, acknowledge the consumer’s concern and work towards a resolution together. We need to be aware that 2014 technology gives a whole new meaning to the concept “word of mouth” if a customer is satisfied the will tell one or two people as to if they are not satisfied by using the social media they can get their message across to thousands of people. Social media can be used for good as well, we can use it to communicate with our customers about new services products and special offers. I have experienced firsthand the importance of good communication skills, although I have never owned my own business, I did work as a hair stylist for two years. Being a stylist showed me how ensure good communication. I had to communicate to other stylist...
