...in higher education. Instructors communicate with students and students communicate with instructors and their peers. In a class, whether in-person or online, instructors often communicate both the information they are teaching and feedback to students. Students communicate their understanding of the subject as well as questions or concerns they might have. When looking at the forms of communication needed to do this, it is obvious there are significant differences between a traditional in-person classroom setting and the many variants of online education. Important questions to ask are, “What are those differences?” and “Does the form of communication make a difference in student motivation?” I will be addressing both questions in this phase of the project. In-Person vs. Online Communication methods vary widely between an in-person class and an online class. The differences are not particularly obvious, though, especially when you add in the many forms of both online classrooms and in-person classrooms. In higher education, in-person classrooms are dramatically different are not the same as they were from decades ago. While I have used the term “traditional” in describing in-person classrooms, many are not quite traditional at all. Even in-person classes tend to have an electronic element. Often grades and documents are posted in an online forum using a learning management system such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Latte, etc. Students and professors may exchange emails...

...Design Merit Pay It is vital that FastCat employees understand how merit pay works. Ensuring they are educated about the pay system will give them a clear understanding of how each person is paid and will show them that each employee has the same potential to move up the pay scale by attaining more education, increasing their skill level, being accountable and having good communication with customers. During employee orientation, new hires will be provided both verbal and written education with regard to merit pay. They will be given an opportunity to ask questions to make certain they understand how it works. The merit pay will be discussed with each employee during their yearly review so they know where they stand and give them a clear understanding of how they can move up or earn potential bonuses. It is our recommendation that bonuses be given to employees when they attain additional education. For example, if an employee earns a Bachelor’s Degree while working for the company, they will receive a bonus immediately. They would also receive an increase in their base pay at their next review. Additionally, employees who score well on their performance evaluation would be eligible to receive a bonus and an increase to their base pay. By encouraging FastCat employees to continue to attain higher levels of education, it is more likely employee retention will be high. Because each employee has the same potential to increase their pay, it will serve as a motivation for...

...Chad Rhodes IT 245-1403B-04 Intro to Network Management Phase 3 Discussion Board Professor Jennifer Gaddy 09/03/2014 TCP/IP Model- This model IS the internet. That is to say, this is the basis on which the internet, as we know it, was created. That isn’t saying it was the first. The Internet protocol suite(TCP/IP) was introduced in 1982 as the standard networking protocol on ARPNET. In March of 1982, the Department of Defense adopted TCP/IP as the standard for military computer networking. Layers- Compared to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, the TCP/IP model has fewer layers. It uses encapsulation to provide abstraction of protocols and services. The Application layer is at the top and is logically closer to the user. This is where applications create the user data and communicate that data to other applications. The Transport layer provides the host to host communications, creating a channel for the communication needs of the applications. The Internet layer is where the datagrams are exchanged across the network. The Link layer serves to define the networking method, and includes the protocols describing the network topology. Now, compare this with the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model and its seven layers, wherein each layer facilitates the needs of the layer above it, while calling on the next layer below it. This model evolved from work with ARPNET, as well. This chart shows the four layers of the TCP/IP model, showing the basic flow of...

...For this discussion board, I will be discussing the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) model and how this model compares to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model. These two models are similar to one another yet they are also very different. The main difference is the two models is the fact that the TCP/IP model was implemented as a model to represent the Internet. The TCP/IP model was created after the OSI model in an effort to bring about international standards for the Internet that the OSI could not. The basic foundation of the Internet was built around the TCP/IP model. The layers found in the OSI model and the TCP/IP model also differ. The OSI model has a specific layer structure that has seven layers that are identified from top layer to the bottom layer as follows; Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical. The TCP/IP model does not have a specific layer structure, but the protocols used along with this model implies that the layers are as follows; Application, Transport, Internet, Network Access, and Physical. The TCP/IP model can have four or five layers depending on user preferences. In comparison to the OSI model, the topmost layer of TCP/IP, the application layer would be the equivalent of the Application, Presentation, and Session layers in the OSI model. This level of the model uses high-level protocols and also provides access to network services and resources for applications. The transport layer...

...Chanee Lowry 6/6/16 Unit 3 IP Instructor: L. Meadors Peer to Peer vs. Client/server With peer-to-peer all of the PC’s on the same network act as equals sharing the same files and resources. Communications between these PC’s use a direct link with no central network controller, such as a client/server. Peer-to-peer network is the easiest to set up because it doesn’t require any software other than the operating system it came with. It also doesn’t require complex configuration of a client/server network. It is cost efficient and the only hardware required is two wireless NIC’s. Client/server uses a central PC (a server) that stores data and other resources. One centralized PC called the client which works as a host to many other computers or workstation’s called clients .The server uses a list of usernames and passcodes whereas peer-to-peer does not. Client/Server offers more security and is more stable. If one user crashes there system, than it could affect their peer-to-peer network. Most client /server networks share one server, making it easier to back up data and files Peer-to-Peer | Client/Server | Each PC is an equal participant on the network | One PC acts as the network controller | PCs are not reliant on one PC for resources such as the printer | One PC controls access to network resources | Access to the network is not centrally controlled | Network access and security are centrally controlled | Can operate on a basic PC operating system | Need a special operating...

...Since I would be working in an “affluent” area I would believe a vehicle patrols would be more prone to low end crimes. This would be a middle class neighbor hood with an appreciation of their neighbor hood. One of the biggest concerns would be breaking and entering, Vehicle thief, and small drug sales and consumption. This would be better suited for a vehicle patrol due to the fact even if it’s a small area the department would want to spend the money to have foot officers walking around making it easier to evade the offices and response time that much slower. With a vehicle patrol; you could keep a constant move in your area and have a faster response time if ever needed. The importance of the field training officer is a great concept. Even if someone completes the basic officer’s course all they know is the basics. With the FTO idea you can take a new officer and put them with some one that has been on the force for some time, in this case 9 years. With becoming an officer for any city or town there is a lot to learn outside of the academy. Such as how the public acts told officer on all parts of town, what to expect out of certain calls (drunk and disorderly), and what to expect out of everyday life as an officer. I know that a lot of jobs use this same idea as the FTO in their business like fast food, car sales man and the Army. I have been though it with the Army every time I go to a new post. Once you arrive there, someone from the Unit you are going to show...

Collaborative advantage is synergy achieved by integrating resources plus expertise of one organization and provides a foundation or counterbalance to “Competitive Advantage” 2. The 3 main fundamental characteristics of collaborative advantage is that they must yield benefits for the partners and they are more than just the deal. They are also alliances that both partners ultimately deem successful involve collaboration rather than mere exchange. Collaborative advantage cannot be controlled by formal systems but require a dense web at interpersonal connections and internal infrastructures that enhance learning. 3. There are also 3 varieties of relationships which are mutual service consortia that means similar industries pool their resources together to gain benefit too expensive to acquire alone. Joint ventures are companies pursuing an opportunity that requires capabilities from each of them and value-chain partnerships are supplier-consumer relationships. 4. Relationships between companies begin, grow and develop much like relationship between people. Like romances and alliances, they are built on hopes and dreams, what might happen if certain opportunities are pursued? 5.

...reduction of a very simple front-end block for the calculus of phase transition metrics on a continuous phase modulation (CPM) receiver. A quasi-optimum receiver of very low complexity is attained by splitting the function of the optimum receiver bank filters in two blocks: calculus of projections coefficients on a low dimensional space of Walsh functions followed by simple matrix calculus. A sequence detection algorithm follows this block. The presented approach enables the reduction of the matched filters or correlators to just two integrators, regardless of the CPM scheme. Research on the reduction limits of the space dimension is conducted using catastrophic M-ary CPM schemes, taking advantage of their very low number of phase states. Performance of 1REC h=1/2 16-ary scheme is for the fist time presented. A rule is defined concerning the number of Walsh functions that must be used. That outcome proves to be valid for two CPM schemes of high power gain. The receiver is tested under additive white gaussian noise (AWGN). The carrier frequency is fc, where ωc=2πfc, ϕ0 is the arbitrary initial phase and Es is the energy per symbol, related with the bit energy by Es=log2(M)⋅Eb. Channel symbols are γi∈{±1, ±3, ⋅⋅⋅, ±(M-1)}, forming the M-ary sequence γ . Each symbol γi carries log2(M) bits as a result of a natural mapping of the information bits stream α. The information carried by NS channel symbols is keyed in signal’s phase: ϕ (t , γ ) = 2π...

...Phases of Organizational Change: Concord Bookshop Conflict University of Phoenix Phases of Organizational Change: Concord Bookshop Conflict Organizational change is a never-ending process. Knowing how to approach, present, and effectively implement change depends on several factors. The three phases of Lewin’s Force Field Model: unfreezing, change, and refreezing allow the change process to take place (Borkowski, 2005). Using these phases change can be presented, discussed, and ultimately implemented with success. For organizations to continue to grow and become ever more prosperous, change has to be continuously refined. In this paper, a brief discussion of the phases of organizational change as well as an examination of the organizational change processes not implemented in the Concord Bookshop conflict will be conducted. Lewin’s Phases of Organizational Change Unfreezing Borkowski (2005) states, “The forces and workers involved in perpetuating resistance acquire an understanding of variances that exist between current practices and behavior and desired activities and behavior” (pp. 384-385). The organization must perform an investigation to see what type of resisting forces they may face in regard to the proposed change. An organization will not be effective in creating change unless motivation within the organization is manifested. Understanding that change requires some new knowledge to be learned and some old knowledge to be unlearned. This fact is...

...one of which is completely miscible and the other is partly miscible with water. According to the phase rule of Gibbs the variance F (number of degrees of freedom) of a system at equilibrium is equal to the number of components c minus the number of phases p plus 2, provided that the equilibrium is influenced only by temperature, pressure, and concentration. A system with three independent components has F=5-P degrees of freedom. An invariant point in a ternary system therefore contains five different phases in equilibrium with each other. An invariant point can for example consist of a vapor phase, a liquid phase, and three solid phases in equilibrium with each other. A ternary system with three phases (solid-liquid-vapor) in equilibrium with each other has two degrees of freedom. If the temperature is fixed, one degree of freedom remains. A phase diagram isotherm showing a ternary system with a vapor phase and a liquid phase requires therefore a line to mark the concentration range in which a solid phase is in equilibrium with the other two phases. A point needed to mark concentrations where two solid phases are in equilibrium with liquid and vapor.

...rapid strategy, a high-involvement-staged strategy? Why? What would be your implementation plan? For example, what would you do first? How would you time phase it? What are the critical (pivotal) actions that must succeed? Based upon my reading and analysis of the Jess Westerly case study, I would have implemented a high-involvement, phased change strategy. Changing the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sales approach from targeting of small and medium business to large organizations is a strategic change for Kauflauf. In order for changes to be made, it is necessary to implement through phases. Key elements are leadership engagement and compensation design. In order to inform my approach with industry best practices, I interviewed a Saas sales leader. To illustrate and frame my approach, I will use Kurt Lewin’s three-phase model for change. In Phase one, we must unfreeze the system. During the first three months, the CEO of Kauflauf must champion the change to pursue SaaS contracts with large organizations (Sales Class 1-3 firms, $500,000+ annual revenue). Using Jess Westerly’s data affirming the opportunity for 30% growth, the CEO must communicate the organization’s change in client targeting; he must also indicate the implied crisis: only those SaaS firms that seek and earn business with Class 1-3 firms will survive and thrive. By creating a compelling need to do business differently, the CEO will create a new, more malleable state allowing the system to...
