...Nicole Reyes Reyes1 Professor Peggy Ingram EDUU 512 12 March 2013 Teaching Case Assignment: “The Case of Cassie Brown” The assigned teaching case is based on a female, African American high school student by the name of Cassie Brown. Cassie is a senior at Jefferson High School right before the turning of the new millennium. The story takes place not far from a very poor inner city. Cassie has found that after many years of wanting to become a mathematics teacher, she is now questioning her dream. The reason Cassie has become uncertain of her goal is from an encounter she had with her mathematics teacher, Mr. Tempe. Cassie was unable to understand how to solve a calculus problem which Mr. Tempe tried twice to explain to her. After the second attempt, he informed her that she might want to reconsider becoming a math teacher: “There are not many minorities in this field and you are also female and African American” (Taylor and Whittaker, 210). There are several issues arising from this case, primarily the perception that the people in the case impose upon the female, African American minority. This perception is that black women are not equal in capability and intelligence and therefore unlikely to be successful in the fields of mathematics and science. Cassie made reference to the fact that she was among only 5 other African American girls in her class, accounting for just one Reyes2 ...

...and Randy Fields successfully built their business from a single cookie shop to over 400 individual store locations by combining their individual strengths. From the very beginning, Debbi’s focus has been to provide a “feel good product” and sell it “in a feel good way”. Randy clearly understood the value of Debbi’s commitment to quality products and the customer experience. He turned his vision of an MIS that “put as much decision making and intelligence into the store level PC as necessary to free the manager to do those things that uniquely people do” into a powerful strategic advantage for Mrs. Fields Cookies. The successful alignment of Mrs. Fields’ Cookies business and information systems strategies resulted in strong revenue growth and bottom line profits. The company developed an information technology platform that was more than just a business support tool. By collecting data, performing analysis and tracking results, Randy and the MIS Department created an expert system that routinely made day to day decisions for store managers. Suggestions related to daily production scheduling, sales strategies, labor demand and even hiring decisions were routinely generated by the company’s management information system. The sophistication of this tool allowed Debbi to maintain a strong influence on day to day store operations even as the number of locations exploded. From the beginning, Debbi committed herself to a strategy that would ensure each Mrs. Fields’ Cookies...

...Ethics Case Study Ethics Case Study Jerry McCall has received training as a medical assistant and as an LPN but given the fact that he was hired on at the facility to be Dr. Williams’s personal office assistant, he does not have the right to issue the patients’ refill order for Value and an antidepressant medication. He has been hired as Dr. Williams’s assistant in the office. This patient that has called in could be on restriction from receiving these medications he has requested and found a chance to get a refill because a new person took the phone call. There are questions to be asked when trying to understand the situation that the patient gives. Why didn’t the patient prepare for his trip in advance instead of waiting until the last minute to call in and get a refill for the requested medications? He could have given a time frame of 30 minutes so that Mr. McCall would not have time to consult Dr. Williams before making an ethical decision. There would be no difference if the medication that was being requested were for control of high blood pressure that the patient critically needs on a daily basis. Any type of medication request would need to be authorized by the doctor first. Dr. Williams could have changed the type of blood pressure medication that this patient needs or he may want to try the patient on a different type of medication when this patient’s medication refills are gone. You can never assume that the patient knows his or her doctor’s intentions...

...education requirement of becoming a registered nurse (Types of Nurses, 2015). An ADN degree nurse critically thinks at a lower level, requiring more guidance from their RN supervisor and the MD in order to follow up and effectively treat their patients. ADNs have less education and knowledge regarding physical and social science, nursing research and study. They are more task-oriented for example: providing bedside care, passing medications, following MD orders, etc. Jobs with advancement and growth opportunities will be limited to the ADN. They are less likely to be chosen for management roles or medical research. On the other hand, the BSN program is a four-year college degree that prepares RNs for advanced career options in nursing specialty fields like pediatrics, geriatrics, surgical, ICU, etc. (Types of Nurses, 2015). It helps prepare the nurse for a broader scope of practice and provides a better understanding of the cultural, political, economic, social issues that affect patients and influence health care delivery (Types of Nurses, 2015). BSN nurses are recognized for their skills in critical thinking, leadership, case management,...

...Introduction The High Court’s decision in Dasreef Pty Ltd v Hawchar [2011] HCA 21 has been significant as the threshold requirements for the admissibility of expert evidence are clarified (French 2012). This essay will first discuss the facts of the case, followed by the technical requirements and perceived difficulties related to expert evidence identified by the court in this case. Facts Mr Hawchar, the respondent claimed damages from his employer, Dasreef Pty Ltd, the appellant as he was diagnosed with silicosis allegedly caused by the unsafe working environment. An expert, Dr Basden was retained to provide a report centering on the foreseeability of the alleged injury claimed by Mr Hawchar and procedures that Dasreef could take in reducing the risk of injury. The case originated in the Dust Diseases Tribunal where the judge relied on the estimate of the expert evidence in calculating the levels of silica Mr Hawchar was exposed to. This led to a finding that the level of exposure exceeded the applicable standard and was appealed by Dasreef before the Court of Appeal as to the admissibility of the expert’s report. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal on the basis that the estimate provided in the report was drawn from the expert’s experience, and thus admissible. The admissibility issue of the expert evidence was then brought to the High Court before the judges, French CJ, Gummow, Hayne, Crennan, Kiefel and Bell JJ with Justice Heydon dissented from the majority...

Cane Student Submitted to: Mrs. Ana Bonita Lamanilao Professor July 15, 2016 Case Study Analysis Bill Ryan – a customer-service agent Introduction Bill Ryan often deals with difficult people. It’s what he gets paid for. He’s one of 30 customer-service agents at Half.com, an online marketplace owned by eBay Inc., the Internet auction company. Like eBay, Half.com attempts to match buyers and sellers in a vast flea market featuring millions of products ranging from trading cards to camcorders. But unlike eBay, there’s no bidding. Half.com lists items only at fixed price and it’s yours. The other big difference with eBay is that for most of the products listed on Half.com, there’s no way for buyers and sellers to interact directly. Usually there’s no need to. To make a purchase, buyers use their credit cards or checking accounts to pay Half.com, which then automatically credits amount to the seller’s card or account- minus a transaction fee. Once the payment is made, the seller ships the product. However, things can go wrong. A purchased item doesn’t arrive, or isn’t in the condition the buyer expected. Or maybe an interesting product is listed but its description isn’t clear. And that’s where Mr. Ryan and his colleagues come in, handling the buckets of e-mail and intermittent...

...controversial arguments whether college student should or should not take higher math courses which are required in university general education. As a member of Arizona state university Standard Committee following the case of Gordon Adams, a law student summiting the petition to waive his mathematics requirement, I agree to exempt this student from taking math requirement. It is unnecessary for this student to take math requirement due to major concerns. Gordon is currently a member of the Pawnee tribe of Oklahoma. He is planning to enter ASU college of Law after undergraduate degree completion. College Algebra is one of the required courses for many majors such as accounting, business, engineering….. The basic idea of general education requirement is to give student a basic knowledge of many fields such as science, humanity, communication…which are really helpful for their real life but their major requirement. Moreover, for real life experiences, most of those skills will not be used. Since this student is attending to get into a law field with American Indian study, this major do not required any higher algebra education. This student is eligible to waive this math requirement for general education since he already has basic math knowledge in his preceding education. Mr. Adams has a well rounded education with fulfilled math skills. He has been maintaining cumulative GPA which is closer to 3.9 and has been appointed to Dean’s list, and award ASU’s prestigious Maroon and Gold Scholarship...

Areas of Consideration * Tom Brewster is one of the field sales managers of Major Tool Works, Inc. who was promoted to his first headquarters assignment as an assistance product manager for a group of product which is relatively unfamiliar. * The product manager who is the immediate superior of Brewster is not present at the time of meeting. * Tom Brewster was invited by Jeff Reynolds who is the director of marketing to the meeting to help orient him of his new job. * The presiding officer of the meeting, Mr. Nick Smith , who is known with his reputation of bluntness ask a series of questions to the managers that Tom Brewster honestly confessed that he didn’t know the answers. * After the meeting, Mr. Smith realized that he was too harsh on Tom Brewster so he asks Jeff Reynolds about his actions in the meeting. * Mr Nick Smith telephoned his secretary to call Tom Brewster and ask him to report to his office. He then apologized to Tom and told him about his expectations three months from their meeting. V. Alternative Courses of Action * Tell everyone that Vice President Smith apologized after the event and show them that there was just a misunderstanding in the meeting by talking casually to Mr. Smith and other managers. * Study the products that his department is handling...
