Creating an Educational Curriculum for Learners at Any Level. AABB Conference. Strategy/Methology Brainstorming: A process for generating multiple ideas/options in which judgment is suspended until a maximum number of ideas has been generated. Following generation of ideas, options are typically analyzed, a best solution identified, and a plan of action developed. Case-Based Small-Group Discussion: Small groups of 5-10 address case-based tasks, exchanging points of view while working through a problem-solving process. In Problem-Based Learning, the problem comes first and learners work through the problem through progressive disclosure by making hypotheses, exploring mechanisms, developing and researching learning issues, and applying new information to the case.

...Creating a Methodology: Chad Valentine Strayer University BUS-375 Project Management Professor James E. Wise II April 21, 2015 The culture in Corporate America is highly competitive and often results driven. In most cases the success of the entire company is often credited to the executive staff and upper management. They endure both the weight of success and the weight of failure. The term “business is war” is much more a commonality than just a saying in most of the top corporations. The struggle to stay on top and maintain it is a struggle that most deal with on a daily basis. This struggle not only pertains to the threat of competitive businesses, but also the internal competition of climbing the ladder. Once you reach a certain level or position within a company, the only way to reach the next plateau is to be better than the person above you, play the politics game, or weight for them to retire or move on. Those three options aren’t always the case in every situation, but they apply to most. After reading the “Creating Methodology” case study I came to the same conclusion the CEO Mr. John Compton did which was his executive staff was hesitant due to the fact that this new process he requested to be implemented would introduce the possibility of the executive staff to lose a portion of their power or influence. There are multiple types of PM Methodologies used in project management. Just to name a few; Agile, Waterfall, Scum, NPI, RAD, Kanban. The structure...

...TO: All Management From: Project Manager Date: 10/8/2013 Subject: SQL Server Training Project Budget It is essential that everyone on the management team understand the costs associated with the three-day training session so that a budget can be created and allocated. Some of the cost associated with this project include: Fixed Cost, Fixed Cost Accrual, Baseline, Variance, and Actual Cost. In creating a budget for the project several things must be considered such as the amount of time needed to complete the project, resource, and employee allocation. During the budget creation phase of the project we will be using Project Cost Management that will focus on the processes, procedures, and techniques to develop and manage the project budget. This will allow us to 1). Estimate costs, and focus on processes to estimate the monetary resources needed to complete the project work or activities. 2). Determine Budget by aggregating the individual cost for each of the project activities or work package components to determine the cost baseline or overall project budget. 3). Control Cost by updating the projects while monitoring the projects budget and managing any changes to the baseline plan. Once the project schedule and budget are determined, the total time and cost of each activity can be summed using a bottom-up approach to determine a target deadline and budget. The schedule and budget must, however, be reviewed and accepted by the project sponsor or client. This may require...

...CAN YOU BE BOTH MUSLIM AND HOMOSEXUAL? (look at islamic jursiprudence) To be muslim is to base the foundation of life around the five pillars of Islam. These five pillars conist of rituals and obligations that must be carried out in some instances daily, others to be done at some point during a lifetime. These five pillars consist of Shahadah (Faith), Salah (prayer), Zakah (charity), sawm (Fasting) and Hajj (Pilgrimage). To understand such a religion and lifestyle, the acceptance of Allah as the one and only is greatly emphasized throughout Islam teachings and through devices such as the Fiqh and Quran. While many unknowingly assume that such a religion avoids the concepts of variations in lifestyles such as homosexuality, Islam actually teaches an understanding that these behaviours exist however In following the 5 pillars, acts such as homosexuality and adultery are temptations that must be resisted in living the life Allah wishes apon his followers. According to the prophet Mohammed a warning of “do not gaze at beadless youth, for they have eyes more temoting than the houris”[1]. Under general consensus within Islam, to be homosexual creates a perversion and deviation from the tasks of man and women as laid out by the quran. Not only due to the issues of contradictions in masculinity and power, emphasis can be found as frowning apon the acts of homosexual due to health reasons and their link with diseases. Yet whether the act is so harshly classified as non muslim is debatable...

This part will include complete process plan that is going to be followed in order to achieve desired and mentioned results. Lean Six Sigma as Proposed Methodology Lean Six Sigma Methodology is a very effective way to have a significant reduction in the lead time in manufacturing units in a company. Lean basically refers to a methodology that improves a company's process, resulting in faster delivery of services and products, and at the same time keeping the costs lower. Six Sigma refers is a methodology that is again related to process improvement, but is predominantly data driven. Making use of the methodologies offered by Six Sigma such as DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), process variations are reduced, and incapable processes are taken care of (Pavletic and Sokovic, 2002). Post this achievement, Lean methods need to be used which reduce costs of waste using appropriate tools (Laureani, 2012).
