This business research was conducted to determine how effect incorporating computers into education was. The business research and its purpose Computer introduction into the classroom is the main focus of the business research in this article. Computers in the classroom where shown to have opened up numerous avenues to students, including online access to information databases, discussion forums, and student/teacher conferences; but unfortunately, there was not a lot of research to back up whether or not the computers where being used effectively. There is conclusive evidence that there has been a growth in the purchase and use of computers and the use and upgrading of the internet connections that the schools are using. The business problems under investigation The business problems under investigation are whether or not the computer and internet usage in the classrooms are being effective with the students in mind. However the main issue seems to be the lack of instruments to properly measure the effectiveness of the access on students...

...MA Assignment Were business schools to blame for the financial crisis? What should business schools do to help prevent similar crises in the future? The financial crisis in 2008 involved banks with the ability to generate a large sum of money in a short space of time, causing house prices to rise and the financial market to fluctuate. The debts created from loans awarded by the banks outweighed the income costs, which backfired upon the bank, causing a financial crisis (Positive Money (BSD), 2015). There were many reasons to blame for the pandemonium within the financial market during this period of time. This paper will examine whether business schools in particular, contributed to the financial crisis and will explore what business schools could do to prevent similar crises in the future. There have been negative spotlights upon graduates entering the banking world. Jonathan Slack, representative of 114 UK business schools stated that students with MBAs achieved higher positions within the corporate world, who are found to instigate high-risk taking (The Guardian, 2009). Graduates were seen to lack acknowledgement for factors such as value and ethics at this level of high risk taking and believe they can complete the work set without consideration of these factors (Podolny, 2009). Although much emphasis is upon graduates to produce profit and developing a business to success after graduating from a business school, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is just...

...PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING Problem-Based Learning: Its Application and Role in Education Joe Student Austin Peay State University PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING 2 Abstract What is Problem-Based Learning? Problem-Based Learning (PBL) began in the medical field; however, it has been applied to disciplines at colleges and universities, different subjects in the K-12 education system, and a variety of other professions as well. This paper will focus on the usefulness of Problem-Based Learning in the role of education, the driving motivation, and how it will impact the future of educators. PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING 3 Problem-Based Learning: Its Application and Role in Education Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a student driven, teacher guided method of instruction which weaves the ideas and theories of Bloom, Piaget, Vygotsky, and Gardner, into a cooperative learning process in which students receive and process information about ideas they have found interesting. The students then apply the knowledge gathered through the research phase to real-life situations (Bell, 2010; Levin, 2001). PBL, which began in the medical field, was used primarily as a way for medical students to improve their own problem solving abilities (Levin, 2001). Levin (2001) re-emphasized from previous studies that PBL serves as a foundation for many teacher education programs because it is consistent with constructivist theories of learning. Kauchak and Eggen (2011) define constructivism as a theory of learning...

...“Is Post-Appraisal Weeding good strategy?” Dilip Thosar Paper for The International Research Conference on HRM 25-26 August 2012 at MIT College of Management, Pune Is Post-Appraisal Weeding good strategy? Dilip Thosar Fellow Student, AHRD (Academy of Human Resources Development), Ahmedabad. ABSTRACT Many progressive Indian organizations are seen to annually lead a practice of weeding out their lowest-performing manpower, with the strategic intent of increasing their performance capability and competence. The genesis of this practice lies in the “20-70-10 principle” which states that the top 20% of workforce is productive, 70% work adequately and the remaining bottom 10% do not deliver and should be fired. During the annual appraisal, the head of every business team within the organization is asked to classify his/her team-members into top, medium and bottom performers. Those in the bottom bucket are asked to resign. This reportedly creates tremendous dissonance and unhappiness across the organization. There seems to be no evidence of the expected theoretical result of a continuously improving highperforming business unit. Even short-run competence is not reported to increase perceptibly. Notable is the expensive attrition and erosion of precious employee-engagement among residuals, with consequent burn-outs and reduced productivity. The significant negative outcomes of this practice seem to outweigh any positive potential. Literature studied and industry leaders decry it as...

...Position Paper Teen Suicide 04 November 2014 Instructor: Course: Identification of the Issue The term suicide is defined as the intentional taking of your own life, or by deliberate inaction, allowing your life to be taken (according to www.mentalhelp.net). The ways people commit suicide varies, but the act of suicide itself remains the same. Some people overdose on prescription pills, slit their wrists, shoot themselves the list goes on. In 2010, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that suicide is the third leading cause of death for college aged youth and ages 12-18. Teenagers experience low self esteem issues as a result of peer pressure, bullying, love lost, stress and confusion within the family whether it is due to divorce, financial uncertainty, domestic abuse or substance abuse. And for these reasons teens may associate suicide with being the solution to their problem. Causes for the Problem The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collected data in 2012 (most recent year for which data was obtained), 40,600 suicides were reported, making suicide the 10th leading cause of death for Americans. In that year someone in the United States died by suicide every 12.9 minutes. Shockingly, after cancer and heart disease, suicide accounts for more years of life lost than any other cause of death. Statistics also shows that males are twice more likely to commit suicide than females. As far as ethnicity rates,...

...This course provided a whole new experience for me. Growing up I always excelled in english and writing papers was a breeze for me. I would always get an easy A without much effort, but this course provided me with a real challenge. I found that the grading was much more critical and the content expected was at a much higher level than ever before. However, all of the challenges I faced in this class proved to beneficial to me as I did end up getting a better grade with each paper. This class brought me many great experiences and taught me countless lessons, some that will last a lifetime. One of most valuable lessons this class taught me was how to manage my time more effectively. I suffer from a bad case of procrastination, but the amount of time allotted for each of these essays didn’t give me time to do much procrastinating. I became much better at just writing instead of sitting and thinking what I should say. Then after I wrote my essay I went back and edited the content of my paper to bring it up to college level writing. I also found paper rater to be a big help with this because it helped to transform my high school level writing into something much more mature through the vocab tool it provides. All of these factors helped me to overcome my second nature of putting things off and I even have started...
