...Learning Team Reflection Summary Week 1 and 2 Team A has summarized about last week from what we discussed with the discussion questions as well as our individual thoughts about different acts how technology has promoted their change. Last week was our first week of class in which we discussed several different topics relating to business in the computer field. We discussed the ethical challenges surrounding the movie and music industries as they related to the internet, collaborating tools that we use in our personal and work life and different concepts of Microsoft Word that we might not have been aware of. Along with our group work, we were also giving a list of different political acts that have effect the technology world and were told to argue the two acts and why or how they added to the change of technology. Our discussion questions were centered on these topics; ethics in the movie and music industry, collaborative tools used in our work and home life and, capabilities of Microsoft that we may not have been aware of. We have all agreed that it is illegal and unethical to download music and buy bootlegged videos. We believe that because these items have been made readily available to us, that due to the hard work from the individuals involved, it is unfair that they should be allowed to, in one way or another, work for free. Information systems helps individual and business do all kinds of tasks with more...

...Grand Canyon University: NRS-429V-0104 October 6, 2013 Vark Styles of Learning Analysis A learning style is a unique and specific ongoing process in every individual’s life. There are many different ways that people learn and it can vary greatly among individuals. Learning style is referred by Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer and Bjork (2008) in their article Learning Styles: Concepts and Evidence “as the concept that individuals differ in regard to what mode of instruction or study is more effective for them”. There have been various models created to illustrate the different learning styles. The visual, aural, read and write, and kinesthetic (VARK) model, developed by Neil D. Fleming consists of a questionnaire that helps an individual identify how they process information. After the style of learning is identified, it suggests that will assist the individual in the learning process. Different types of learning styles include visual learners; these individuals learn best by looking at illustrations or watching videos. The next style is the auditory; these individuals learn better by being part of a discussion group or lecture. The reading/writing learners learn best by reading textbooks or taking notes. The last style is the kinesthetic learner; these individuals learn best by doing things, hands on. To enhance the quality of learning, individuals need to be aware of their style of learning. Summary of my Styles of Learning While some individuals rely on only...

...Westport Electric Corporation: Case Context In a meeting, James King, the supervisor of administrative staff budget section of Westport Electric Company, a large manufacturer and seller of electric and electronic products, was discussing his displeasure with the proposed increase in budget of the offices. According to him, these are not justified and are clear indications of faults in the company’s budgeting system. The company currently has six staff offices like those mentioned and they are tasked with providing advice to top management and operating divisions as well as other staff offices. They also coordinated among the divisions depending on their areas of activity. These staff offices are budgeted using the company’s budget approval procedure, which according to some of its officers like King, needs a lot of improvement. Q) What should Westport do about the evaluation problem raised in the case? PROBLEM STATEMENT The budgeting system of Westport should be assessed as to its efficiency and effectiveness and identify changes that will develop the current system. ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION We recommends that top management actually pay considerable attention to the efficiency and effectiveness of each business division. Currently, it appears that focus is given simply on bottom line numbers; that is, each unit’s financial success is assessed solely on the basis of how handsome the profits brought in for the company, without being given much performance...

...Running Head: Alan Mulally, CEO, Ford Motor Company Alan Mulally, CEO, Ford Motor Company BUS 520 August 08, 2011 1. Discuss the role of leadership and how it can impact organizational performance. The role of leadership is the process of developing ideas and a vision, along with living by values that support those ideas and vision, and influencing others to embrace them in their own behaviors and making hard decisions about human and other resources” (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2010, p.25). Leadership is also accomplishing something through others that would have never happen if a leader was not involved. In order for leadership to impact an organization there would have to be ideas and values established that will energize others to follow ones lead. It is most essential that employees within organization are able to confine with the vision, ideas, and values of an organization’s leadership. Therefore, if the employees are not firm believers in an organization’s leadership, they will not follow the vision and values of the leadership within that organization, which will ultimately lead its failure. In order for organization to remain or become successful, their employees should not only believe in its vision, they should believe in its leadership well as. There are several ways that leadership can impact organizational performance, one would have to say that the most important element is when an organization can adopt a corporate...

...VARK Analysis Grading Criteria PATRICK ERONINI GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY Family Centered Health Promotion NRS 429 V Lorraine Hover December 20, 2012 VARK Analysis Grading Criteria Learning styles are a popular concept in psychology and education that are intended to identify how people learn best. The popularity of this concept grew dramatically during the 1970s and 1980s, despite the evidence suggesting that personal learning preferences have no actual influence on learning results. (Pashler H et al 2008). Neil Fleming's VARK model is one of the most popular representations. In 1987, Fleming developed an inventory designed to help students and others learn more about their individual learning preferences. In Fleming's model, sometimes referred to VARK learning styles, learners are identified by whether they have a preference for visual learning (pictures, movies, diagrams), auditory learning (music, discussion, lectures), reading and writing (making lists, reading textbooks, taking notes), or kinesthetic learning (movement, experiments, hands-on activities). Visual Learners Visual learners learn best by seeing. Graphic displays such as charts, diagrams, illustrations, handouts, and videos are all helpful learning tools for visual learners. People who prefer this type of learning would rather see information presented in a visual rather than in written form. Assessment: * Do you have to see information in order to remember it? Do you pay close attention...

...Definition and Types of Conduct Disorder Brian is 14 and has conduct disorder and depression. He lives with his Uncle and Aunt who have practically taken care of him since birth and who have adopted him. Occasionally his mom visits, but not regularly and she does not know who his father is. Brian’s uncle and aunt are the head of a “team” which cares for him, involving respite foster parents, Brian’s second Uncle and his grandparents or adoptive parents who have fixed weekends to have him stay with them. Currently, Brian is functioning, staying out of any major trouble and his grades have been improving. After his last sentencing, his adoptive parents were able to get better assistance from his probation officer and a more flexible probation agreement and in general Brian receives more supervision than his adopted parent’s four year old. Last year, he was hospitalized after he cut his wrist when he was caught drinking after breaking into someone’s house and has been found to have killed the neighbors’ cat or stray cats that wondered into his back yard and has stayed out at night until after three in the morning and found in a neighboring bad neighborhood. Brian is currently a member of a group at school who volunteer to help build houses for the poor and he generally does well except for when he broke into one of his teacher’s cars however, since Brian’s parents have included everyone in his life, including adults at school, they knew to watch out for such actions and were able...

...Top 100 Essay Upon examining the world, one will find many great people who have shaped the one we live in today. Despite the significance of them all, it is important to be able to narrow them down to a list of one hundred or so. From there, the true test is to be able to tell which person had a bigger effect on our state of being than the other. Starting with a list that has already been compiled, this essay will rank each historical figure by their impact on the world. (Please note that this list was compiled based on a western perspective.) Topping the list at #1 is Muhammad. As the Prophet of Islam, Muhammads, s.a.w, teachings have reached and inspired many societies and their people. His teachings also indicate the best way to think and therefore live. At #2 is Jesus Christ, whose place as the central figure of Christianity has impacted the lives of his believers, all 2 billion of them (give or take). His existence has lead to the many holidays and churches that occupy mainly, western society. At #3 is Gautama Buddha, who is the spiritual teacher and founder of Buddhism. Lord Buddha has played a large role in the growth of many people of asian descent and offers a religion to the world that can be seen as very peaceful. At #4 is David, King of Israel or rather the Biblical King of Israel. As the founder of Jerusalem, he has empowered the Jewish nation to take on a large amount of influence in various aspects of the world, including the entertainment industry. At #5 is...

...PENGENALAN Pendahuluan Sesuatu program latihan yang dijalankan sering kali mendapat perhatian dan tumpuan ramai, yang mana hari ini ianya merupakan keperluan kelangsungan masa depan bagi sesebuah organisasi. Latihan merupakan faktor yang penting bagi sesebuah organisasi bagi menghadapi perkembangan dan cabaran. Di Amerika Syarikat dianggarkan USD40 billion setahun dibelanjakan untuk program latihan oleh syarikat syarikat untuk melatih eksikutif dan pengurus mereka, (Mann & Robertson). Manakala di Malaysia sebanyak RM 400 juta di peruntukkan dalam Rancangan Malaysia Kelapan untuk program latihan, (Junaidah, 2002), Malangnya keberkesanan latihan yang dilaksanakan melalui program tertentu tidak dapat disahkan kerana amalan penilaian terhadap program latihan dibuat dengan cara yang formal tetapi tidak sistematik dan komprehensif (Shamsuddin, 1998). Maka terdapat perbezaan diantara model yang disyorkan didalam literatur dengan amalan penilaian latihan yang digunakan oleh agensi latihan Tujuan Kertas Projek Kertas projek ini merupakan perancangan kajian penilaian terhadap program latihan yang dikendalikan oleh BTN Cawangan Negeri Kelantan berkaitan dengan kenegaraan dan kepimpinan dikalangan mahasiswa intitusi pengajian tinggi awam dan swasta di Kelantan.
