...due date of the assignment. To help you pass through this phase, I have formulated a procedure to make use of the limited time they have to complete assignments and study more effectively. To begin with, you are going to need the self-confidence that you are ready to face the books and finish this task once and for all. The moment you have this in your mind, you won’t have any distractions. This helps you concentrate, maintain your focus on what you are about to study and become capable of visualizing your goal. After that, you are going to need to isolate yourself to complete your studies so that there are no distractions which may set you off course. It is better to sit in a small room where family members or roommates do not come very often so that you have the privacy to study. Simultaneously, you are going to need a clear desk which has no unnecessary materials on it except the books and copies you are going to use. It will be to your advantage to assure that everything you might need to complete the task is present on the desk; this may include your stationary or any other source of information. Having some snacks on the table will help you get rid of the hunger urges that come as distractions during your study routine. Now sitting there alone you are going to start reading the materials or sources of information. This reading will not only let you understand the topic but it also makes you capable of...

...Meeting My Goals – Research Paper Jeffery Fholer ITT-Technical Institute Meeting my Goals: Better Note-taking/Studying Techniques To be a more successful college student and in turn a more productive employee, I have found I need to learn more effective note taking/studying techniques. As I started my research for this project, I found there are a million-and-one ways to better study and take good notes. Some are actual studies completed by renowned universities and others are merely guides written by persons based off of their personal experience. The first source I selected “Taking Notes: 5 College Success Tips” was posted by Dennis G. Jerz as submitted to him by one his Technical Writing Students Vivinette K. Dietsche. In her paper, Dietsche outlines five basic principles that are beneficial when it comes to taking notes: go to class prepared, improve your listening skills, develop a note taking method that works for you, pay close attention to content and review and edit your notes. Going to class prepared can be as simple as ensuring you have all the supplies i.e., paper, binders and writing instruments necessary to complete assignments. Also covering the course material before showing up to class will give you a better idea what is going on in the day’s lesson plan. Improving your listening skills is crucial in understanding what is being taught. Dietsche talks about having what we called in the military...

...information to answer the four Ps of marketing? The Four P’s of marketing consist of Product, Promotion, Price and Place. The product is obviously the most important of the P’s. Research is needed to find out if the product appeals to the consumer first. This is usually done through surveys or observation of similar products to obtain the interest or need. Many different things can attribute, such as size, quantity, availability, along with time of the year. The Promotion part is what will get the consumer’s attention, whether its through newspaper flyers, radio, TV, physical signs/banners, and now social media. The more information that can be put out in the public eyes, the more appeal it’s going to gain. The bigger and brighter the promotion, the more attention it’s going to get. But I think sometimes businesses promote their products a little too much and that becomes a turn off. So research consisting of watching the consumers response is also important. Price of a...

...person. You would need to be responsible, independent on your work its not just about listening in class its going home and looking back on your notes, also making sure you understand the lesson and also maybe the night before getting ahead reading the next pages so the next day you at least know what the teacher is talking about. Most importantly if you don’t understand always ask a teacher before its too late. I think the most important thing is believing in your self and aiming high. I personally think the skills that I have adapted the past couple of years and along with the morning study skills classes combined has helped with my studies and revision. The one particular skill I have gasped over the years that I have changed over and over again would be my note taking. I think changing to get the right way of doing it for yourself is making sure that its actually helping you learn. Drawing arrows and making bubbles around key ideas and also highlighting the important parts of the work for me personally has helped me because when I go back for my notes for example revision its easier. This is because it’s not time consuming you will start straight away; you don’t have to right the whole text to pick up the main concepts. It helps me memorize and when it comes to exam I remember and therefore get good mark. Another skill I have learned to do recently is putting sticky notes on my textbook, again for similar reasons so I can get straight to my revision. Also making revision cards...

...the graveyard shift; this had been the first job I had taken with those hours. In order to work permanently for Kaiser Permanente there is a probation period of four months, during these four months an employee cannot call in sick without a doctor’s note, cannot be late to a shift more than twice, and cannot call in to be absent. One day I had a really bad migraine and ear ache and decided to call in sick. The next day when I went back to work I had forgotten to get a doctor’s note to take to work and my supervisor had advice me to get one the following day or my job could be in jeopardy. The week went by and I had forgotten about the note, when my probation evaluation was up that incident came up and the department supervisor decided I had to be terminated. About three days earlier my husband was also terminated from his job due to our childcare issues. Now that it happened and time has passed to reflect on what went wrong I believe a way to solve this problem in a persuasive thinking manner would have been for myself to go to work that day and speak with my supervisor and explain to him that I knew the rules of calling in sick during the probation period. I would of also gone straight to the doctor’s right after to get the a note in regards to my sickness. If my husband would have sought an outside source for our son’s childcare, for example family members or friends then the outcome of that day would have been different. If we would have placed this type of thinking into our...

Mrs H was moved to an intermediate care centre for treatment after a fall at home, after her treatment she was then admitted to the Elderly Care Assessment Unit of Birmingham Heartlands confused of what was going on around her, Mrs H wasn’t aware where she was getting transferred to or what care procedures has been put in place for her. Whenever Mrs H was in the hospital she had many falls and during one of the falls she broke her collar bone, her niece holds power of attorney for her and is also her only relative and because of this her niece should have been informed of Mrs H’s fall and her injuries that she sustained during this, but her niece received no information of any of the falls never mind her breaking her collar bone. This could make Mrs H less confident in the people around her such as doctors and nurses, she may lose trust towards them and not want to ask them to lift her in case she was to fall again, so in result of this this could lead Mrs H to urinating herself by not making it to the toilet. As Mrs H was given no choice in her personal care this would make her feel disempowered because before her fall at home she was a very independent woman whose appearance was important to her, this could result in Mrs H isolating herself. Mrs H was in no way treated and valued as an individual, during Mrs H journey home she was strapped onto a stretcher in the back of an ambulance, the trust said it was because the potential consequences...

...Pat and Dan Pat was very frustrated because she wanted to purchase a home but lacked the funds or credit to do so even though Pat was expecting shortly to receive a one-half million dollar final installment payment for some land she sold several years earlier. Dan knew that Pat was very interested in purchasing a home and approached Pat with a proposal to assist Pat in buying a home. Dan told Pat that he would help Pat with the financing. After finding the home she wanted to buy for $250,000, Dan and Pat orally agreed that Dan would purchase the home and "when you come up with the money, I (Dan) will sell it to you (Pat) for $250,000 plus a fair commission to be determined." Dan purchased the home identified by Pat and the following week Pat moved in and began living in the house. During the first six months after moving in, Pat installed new carpeting, window coverings and a patio cover at a cost of $8,000. Pat also mailed to Dan a check for $1,000 each month, with a note enclosed with each payment. In each note, Pat asked Dan, "tell me what a fair commission is .I want to finalize our deal." Dan cashed the checks each month, but failed to respond to Pat's notes. Eleven months after moving into the home, Pat received the half-million dollar installment check. Pat immediately went to Dan with a check for $275,000 and asked Dan to convey the property to her according to their agreement. Dan refused to accept the check and ordered Pat to move out.

In this case, the prices are a fixed so that the company neither make nor lose money. Jennifer shared how law of diminishing marginal productivity and the difference between fixed and variable cost both would be important to a big corporation such as Wal-Mart. At Wal-Mart headquarters managers from each location would look at the information to determine the schedule for each employee and how many employees would need to be working at a certain time. The managers would also need to look at all variables to change the cost of an item in a store. This team member shared that she looks...
