I enjoy speaking with people and listening to others’ life stories. As a Link Crew leader, I need to be able to speak in front of a small group or a large class. A few months ago, I participated in an academic follow up for Link Crew. This is a way for leaders to connect with the freshman as a class, and examine how their year is going.

...Organizing as a Function of Management Video Quiz Transcript Track Progress Show Timeline Taught by Sherri Hartzell Sherri has taught college business and communication courses. She also holds three degrees including communications, business, educational leadership/technology. Once a plan is in place, a manager must put it into action. This lesson explains the role of organizing as a function of management as well as its relationship with planning. Organizing as a Function of Management The major functions that a manager completes can be categorized into four different functions, known as planning, organizing, leading, and controlling; a fifth function of staffing also appears in some management literature. This lesson will focus on the second managerial function, known as organizing. The organizing function is carried out once a plan, or an outline for how to achieve some organizational goal, is in place.

OCR has produced an overview document, which summarises the changes to Psychology. This can be found at www.ocr.org.uk, along with the new specification. In order to help you plan effectively for the implementation of the new specification we have produced this Scheme of Work and Sample Lesson Plans for Psychology.

But that's a CSS issue. GUI offers a great deal of customization through upload of CSSs. The original Moodle theme is not very appealing but Moodle Themes are freely and easily downloadable from moodle.org where user can upload any tailored CSS. Usability GUI is pleasant, font type is readible, clean , system colors are agreeable to the eye; "L" shape menu composed by left iconic bar and horizontal top tabs menu - tabs are worded with nouns and verbs that communicate clear functionality; iconic menu is not worded which may confuse the user to distitinguish top and left menu. GUI is polluted and busy with too many resource blocks/menus. The "L" shape menu composed by a horizontal top tab menu and a worded menu on the left side confuses the users with the other menu on top of the page. The color palette is pleasant to the eye.

We need them, but hate them. However Through intentionally planning, using facilitative techniques, and managing group dynamics, we can transform useless meeting time into productive results. This facilitated collaboration helps people work better together to create the outcomes and project deliverables you need in a focused period of time. This report is going to first indentify the types of project meetings then we will look into how to make a meeting more productive and efficient, last we will study the meetings in each phase of a project.
