...Dealing With Stress My senior thesis project is going to be about stress. I want to learn how to educate others (my peers) throughout a web site about stress, what it is, how serious it is and how to deal with it. I will create a Wonder How To account where I am going to update every time I have something or learn something new about stress. I am interested in this project because I know counselors have to deal with this type of problems, and know information about what is stress and how to deal with it. By doing this project I will be a step closer in knowing a start of big problems among teens. My investigation for my senior thesis will be: What affects does stress cause in your body? How could teens alleviate stress? Is stress different between teens and adults? My products are going to be: To create a brain model Two types of surveys, one will be done in school the other one will be done throughout the community Reflections on testing out surveys. The survey that I will be testing among my peers is going to be from school. Research Paper Wonder How To (website) Authenticity My project is going to be real by the products I will be creating, updating information to the wonder How To and by doing the research. One of the reasons I choose this project is because, is the first thing that came to my head when I was meeting with Joan. It is also one of the things I see everyday. This is also something I been...

...Nanyang Research Programme (NRP) Reflection Out of the curiosity of how scientists have the power to turn fiction into reality and the experience of undertaking research, I applied for a NRP project on cloaking an antenna in electromagnetic field and finally received a Gold Award at NRP symposium. The research was really a bitter-experience. The way the professor guided us was so much different from school as we had much autonomy in deciding almost everything. From the beginning, my partner and I had to research on the relevant fields on invisibility and assess our own academic ability to choose the project to undertake. Working with the research group under professor Dr. Zhang Baile was really an eye-opening experience. We attended the weekly sharing sessions which seniors share their recent reading ups and how they think they can apply the new findings to their projects. Such sharing sessions were very effective and it was a quick way to obtain knowledge as each individual has his or her own research limitation. In fact I have learned from this process and applied in a group of people to share the news we read to use as General Paper examples. The vigorous discussions help me lay an in-depth understanding abou the subject and encourage me to treat my knowledge learning more seriously. The patient and friendly seniors were always ready to help. I have learnt to use two stimulation...

...Proceedings of the 41st Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences - 2008 Towards Measuring Knowledge Management Success Murray E. Jennex San Diego State University mjennex@mail.sdsu.edu Abstract Discussions at previous HICSS conferences have revealed that there is no general agreement on definitions of knowledge management (KM) and knowledge management system (KMS) success. We developed these concepts and presented them earlier this year. Using an expert panel approach followed by two exploratory surveys, we identify KM success measures. The research demonstrates that measures for KM success are required on multiple dimensions. This paper thus also presents a set of dimensions with measures that can be used to determine if KM in an organization is successful. Stefan Smolnik European Business School (EBS) Stefan.Smolnik@ebs.edu David Croasdell University of Nevada, Reno davec@unr.edu begin to identify instruments that can be used to operationalize these measures. Besides presenting some background on KM success, the paper also offers a series of perspectives on KM/KMS success. These perspectives were derived from an analysis of academics and practitioners’ definitions of KM/KMS success. 2. Background on KM Success After summarizing various definitions of KM, Jennex defined KM success as reusing knowledge to improve organizational effectiveness by providing the appropriate knowledge to those who need it when it is needed [13]. KM is expected to have a...

...Project Management Case Studies These case studies represent a range of projects in different libraries. They are all based on real events. The participating librarians were asked to provide details of projects within the headings used in the case study template which is located at the end of this document. Each case study is presented using these headings to enable the reader to make comparisons between the projects but there is some slight variation of style and detail. Although some editing has been done by the writer of these learning objects, the intention is to retain as much of the individuality of each project as possible. Brief conclusion and analysis is provided at the end of each case study by the writer of these learning objects. Several of the projects are ongoing at the time of writing. This partly reflects the nature of projects in ILS whereby they run parallel to mainstream service delivery. This offers real challenges for those involved and especially for the project leader who will continually need to prioritise the tasks, commitment and speed of working towards completion. None of these projects have been submitted by or directly involve senior managers. Although most have some approval and reporting to senior staff, these projects are managed by professionals in the middle management strata of their organizations and involve different grades of staff or volunteers. Senior staff are less accessible than middle managers and would probably claim to...

...Capstone project also called culminating project, the capstone experience, senior exhibition, and the likes. It refers to a multifaceted assignment serving as the culminating intellectual and academic experience for students during the final year of the academic course being pursued. It resembles a very great extent a college thesis, but capstone project has a wide variety of forms. The most common feature is the handling of long-term investigative projects culminating in a final presentation, product, or performance. Usually, students are to choose a topic, a social problem or profession of their interests. They conduct researches on subjects selected, maintain a portfolio of the results or findings, and give shape to a final product that demonstrate their acquisition of knowledge and learning. The finality of the research may also be in the form of conclusions like a short film, paper, or multi-media presentation. It may also involve an oral presentation on the project to a select panel of experts, teachers, and community members who evaluate the quality of presentation collectively (“Glossary of Education.”2014)....

...In the last reflection I was preparing for my speech, since then I have presented my speech and completed and turned in my product. It has been a long been a long road since the last reflection. I would only change the timeline of the product. I wish I could have gotten all of my footage for the product before the Thanksgiving Break. There is something about getting a ton of footage then being able to put it all together that makes me happy. Heading back to the speeches of the research project I think that it went well, I believe I got an 85, so I would say that is pretty good. There is something nerve racking about doing a presentation in front of a class but doing it in front of a bunch of random people I think would be easier. To compare what I am talking about, I had a solo in band and I found it easier to play in front of the student body at home games then at during practice in front of the students at in the band room. I find this interesting and I think it is all mind games but I am unsure. Overall I think that I rambled a little much in my speech and then I think that there...

...performance appraisal system and coaching. Performance appraisal system can be described as a fairly old system of measuring employees’ performance that has been in use in many organizations. However, Performance appraisal has not brought in the amount of positive results that was expected of it. Armstrong and Mulis (1994:86) quoted one manager describing performance appraisal as “a dishonest annual ritual”. The question that arises then is: “If Managers (the custodians of the system) do not have confidence in their own system, what more employees (who happen to be victims of the system)?” The meaning of the word “appraisal” is “to fix a price or value for something”. This is used in finance in terms such as project appraisal or financial appraisal where a value is attached to a project. Similarly performance appraisal is a process in which one values the employee contribution and worth to the organization. Performance appraisal can be defined as a system of measuring employee’s performance relative to the assigned or agreed objectives. The process starts with the supervisor and or with the subordinate agreeing on specific objectives that need to be met on an agreed time period. The...
