...Renaissance of the Design Studio SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOR FACTORS IN DESIGN - ARCH423b PROF. KATHERINE ANTHONY, INSTRUCTOR FALL 2013 - Peter F. smith This paper is in response to reading 'Design Juries on Trial, The Renaissance of the Design Studio, (1999) by Katherine H. Anthony. I am firstly sharing my best design experience at Harvard University School of Design, in a class 'Presentation Skills, and Getting Published', taught by Eugene Kohn, KPF Architects. When attending the presentation skills class, we were broken into small groups and given projects to attend to. When we pursued gathering information for this topic, we were guided by an attorney working for KPF who introduced us to a procedure called 'throwing the long ball'. Mr. Kohn's attorney shared several pages of a method where 3 students could sequentially gather a very large amount of information about a client, and that client's needs. When presenting our project, he used video cameras to record our body language, as we were practicing, like a mock jury, to package our best practiced presentation to our client. Eugene Kohn. ( property of Harvard University) Edward Larrabee Barnes would pull out a piece of paper with a doodle on it from a jacket pocket, then another sketch from another pocket, and so on. And he'd get the job. (Note from E. Kohn) My worst jury, being hesitantly upfront, dealt with chemical...

...different occupations. The occupation in question at the moment is a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists have to be not only properly trained, but possess the right individual traits to perform a job well. As mentioned previously, some of those traits include maintaining self-control, possessing active listening skills, being able to communicate effectively, and being able to tolerate stress well. This then begs the question- what is the best selection system for identifying these traits? There are numerous selection systems that can be used to ascertain whether or not an individual possesses these necessary traits. With that being said, I believe the best way to measure self-control is to use testing- but not a test with a pencil and piece of paper. Something I would use is similar to the “Marshmallow Test”, first performed by Stanford psychologist Walter Mischel and colleagues in the 1960s (Chen, 2014). The test entailed giving school age children the option of either eating a single marshmallow right away,...

...Ethical issues of Cyber Bullying Introduction The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services administration (HRSA) defines bullying as aggressive behavior that is intentional and involves an imbalance of power or strength, and HRSA notes that this behavior is usually repeated over time. Cyber bullying, is the social-networking phenomenon that is gaining traction among America’s tech-savvy teens, is drawing more attention than ever from school districts and state legislatures anxious to curb the online taunts and insults. This research paper includes description of cyber bullying, its different forms, effects of cyber bullying on individuals and suggestions in order to avoid this ugly form of bullying. Usually, cyber bullies are harassers; they use same weapons that bullies have used from ages: humiliation, gossips and threats. The difference is, cyber bullies do their dirty work using Web logs, emails, instant messaging, cell phones and several other electronic tools. According to psychotherapists, the easy access to Internet gives a chance to kids to say and to do things they wouldn't be able to do face to face, and also they feel they would not be held accountable in the same way, It gives bullies false sense of power and security. They say by using computers children get a sense of being anonymous. Using internet allows bullies to inflict abuse without experiencing or seeing the consequences of their actions, which makes...

...1. Introduction: Training can be introduced simply as a process of assisting a person for enhancing his efficiency and effectiveness to a particular work area by getting more knowledge and practices. Also training is important to establish specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. For an organization, training and development are important as well as organizational growth, because the organizational growth and profit are also dependent on the training. But the training is not a core of organizational development. It is a function of the organizational development. Training is different form education; particularly formal education. The education is concerned mainly with enhancement of knowledge, but the aims of training are increasing knowledge while changing attitudes and competences in good manner. Basically the education is formulated within the framework and to syllabus, but the training is not formed in to the frame and as well as syllabus. It may differ from one employee to another, one group to another, even the group in the same class.

...Assessment Centre > Introduction | Assessment Centre has a variety of definitions and these are based on its methodology of assessing a candidate’s performance and aptitude. Trained Assessors observe a group of candidates performing a variety of aptitude diagnostic procedures which provide specific information on the abilities and developmental capacity of each applicant. An Assessment Centre is actually a process applicants take part in and is not specific to any one location. Its popularity is also evident in staff growth plans where it is usually known as a Development Centre. These procedures are designed to ensure employee investment is maximised for both the organisation and the individual. Whilst the general process is very similar to Assessment Centres the subtle difference is that at a Development Centre you will be given feedback immediately and work with the assessor to agree a future plan. Many organisations use the expertise of an HR consultant to design the exercises to meet their specific role requirements and then to conduct the actual testing and assessment of candidates. These services come with a significant cost and that is why you will increasing face testing through an Assessment Centre as you apply for higher-level strategic and technical roles. The length of an Assessment Centre will vary from half-a-day to two full days and may be held on the employer’s premises, often within their own training facilities or on the premises of the organisations Human...
