...HANDS ON DATABASE by Steve Conger © 2010 Hands ON Database Introduction Many students taking an introductory database course need hands-on experience. Typically they are under pressure to finish quickly with a certificate or degree and get to work. They need to get actual practice in the process of designing and developing databases that they can apply in their future employment. They need to create tables, enter data, and run SQL queries. This book is designed for them. Hands on Database: an Introduction to Database Design and Development focuses on the process of creating a database. It guides the student through the initial conception of the database. It covers gathering of requirements and business rules, the logical and physical design and the testing of the database. It does this through a continuous narrative that follows a student, Sharon, as she designs and constructs a database to track the tutoring program at her school. It shows some of her missteps as well as her successes. Students get hands-on experience by doing practices and developing scenarios that parallel the narrative. After completing this book students will have a good sense of what is involved in developing and creating a database. Below is a list of the book outcomes. A student who has completed this book will be able to give a general definition of a relational database to identify a variety of ways to gather database requirements to define business rules for a database to create an...

The AmeriCorps is starting a new student organization on the Kent State campus this year. This student organization is called a HPAC. A HPAC is a Health Professionals Affinity Community. The Health Professions Affinity Community (HPAC) is a newly designed pipeline program to engage students and advance their academic and career progress toward health professions.

The goals, strategies, and methods reflected in the HPAC program are consistent with finding ways to better meet the vast needs of the region, of finding and supporting qualified “Ohio” grown students from diverse backgrounds desiring to enter health professions. The key principle of the program is that students increase their academic scholarship, understand the value of research, further engage in the community, and become well prepared young adults who are able to achieve a level of preparation compatible with...

...Decision-Making Unit page Buyer's Behaviour page The Report page What is Marketing Intelligence? Marketing intelligence This can be information gathered from many sources, including suppliers, customers, and distributors. Marketing intelligence is a catch-all term to include all the everyday information about developments in the market that helps a business prepare and adjust its marketing plans. It is possible to buy intelligence information from outside suppliers (e.g. Mintel, Dun & Bradstreet, and Mori) who set up data gathering systems to support commercial intelligence products that can be profitably sold to all players in a market. Quoted from: Tutors 2 u .com 1) LO1.1, LO1.2 A: Understand buyer behaviour, the purchase. The Decision Making Process. As follows I have explained the main stages of the D MP (Decision making process) for the individual and the industrial purchaser. The industrial buyer goes through a similar process to the individual customer but, the process for the industrial buyer is longer due to the DMU (Decision-Making Unit) to make a purchase a more rational decision needs to be made. Research advocates that a customer goes through a five stage decision-making process in order to make a purchase. This is shown in the stages below. Stage One : Problem / Need Recognition The buying process starts here with the need or problem being recognised....

...learning experiences in my life Abstract Until early last century Pedagogy was widely advocated as the foundation of all education, irrespective of the age group or subject area being taught. The word itself is from ancient Greek ‘paidagageo’ meaning literally ‘to lead the child’. Rote learning was a small part of pedagogy, which conditioned the learner for a known outcome or answer, however one in which there was no variables. It wasn’t until the two World Wars and the industrial revolution, that the practice of adult teaching became accepted as having different methodologies from pedagogy. Many adults that undertake learning do so in the knowledge that they bring different life experiences into the medium, however these experiences can draw in environmental and motivational factors that could become barriers in the absorption of the content. Elton, M (1949) and his studies into the Hawthorn experiments conducted from 1924-1932, provides an example of the increase in productivity (learning or motivation) being attributed to the interest being shown in the individual. From my limited experience within an adult learning environment, I see the Hawthorn effect as a practice example of adult learning, whereby the tutor (employer) engages with, shows interest in and motivates the individual for productivity or knowledge gains. In centuries past, the learning experience was very much one-way communication, however with the advent of adult trainers being a profession, the onus is on...

...scope but they are all essential. Those essays entitled Reflections are based on the writer’s evaluations of material learned during the particular period. The essays were written as assignments to meet the requirements of the course: Organizational Behavior, at the University of the People. The University of the People is a new initiative on the global scene. It is the first tuition free University in the world, yet it has high quality education. It has various levels of assignments. Some of the questions require shorter answers, whereas the others require longer ones. Organizational Behavior is one of the courses at University of the People, in the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. The inadequacies in the answers must be attributed to the writer and not to the institution. This publication has nothing to do with the requirements of the university. It is my personal interest to preserve my assignments and that these may assist other learners. Any comments must be sent to the writer at the email: mchapeyama@gmail.com Diversity Program Most modern organizations have knowledge on how to tap on diversity to get a competitive business advantage. Managing of diversity is now put alongside issues such as corporate social responsibility and ethics as an appeal to many consumers and to win a large share of the market. This discussion will explore what diversity is, what a diversity program is and the importance of diversity management to an organization. Firstly, there is...

Under a high degree of customer satisfactory contributed for business expansion, McDonald today has over than 30,000 restaurants over than 100 countries in the world and it has maintained the top position in the Fast Food Industry for the past 50 years. http://sth-about-human-resources-management.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-tried-to-give-you-theoretical-basis.html What are the functions of HRM?
