...Association of departments and schools of Biology) and the visiting committee deans. The case presents issues of “Saying things you know are not true”, “Giving or allowing false impressions”, “Buying influence or engaging in conflict of interest”, “Hiding or Divulging information”, “Violating rules”, “Condoning unethical actions”, and “Balancing ethical dilemmas.” The dean of the Biology department at Maluvuis University is trying to get the University’s biology department in one of the top 40 biology departments in the country. It was accredited before and needs not to be accredited once every ten years. The deciding association which does the accreditation is AADSB (American Association of departments and schools of Biology). The process consists of submitting documents by the University and an in-department visit by the panel of Biology deans. The most important deciding factor for accreditation is the ratio of full-time faculty to part-time faculty. The dean of the Maluvius University plays an important role in University matters and therefore would have a great influence over the accreditation of the Biology department. Having the knowledge of the fact that there are more adjuncts teaching than AADSB (American Association of departments and schools of Biology) would like to see at the University, the dean is “hiding or divulging information” i.e. failing to disclose the fact that the ratio of full-time to part-time faculty is more than AADSB (American Association of departments...

...UNI UNIVERSITY AND ITS NEW ERP SYSTEM 1) This case illustrates the complexity of the relationship between technology and organization in the context of knowledge work. Some famous theories, indeed, demonstrate that there are important, complex and reciprocal causal relationship between these two aspects to the extent that different type of technologies can be associated with different form of organizations (Woodward). When you decide to introduce a new technology system in your organization you can’t think that it will carry automatically positive changes because it is difficult to predict in advance the outcomes of this type of implementation. The way technology is used and its efficiency depend on complex interactions between technology, organizations, users and context: individuals and groups can enact the same technology in different ways. This is the reason way the role of human agency in accomplishing technologies is so important. You have to plan this change, you have to manage it and you have to communicate with employees, explaining them how and why the change will be implemented. 2) The major problem was the lack of a correct communication between Uni and ConsultCo: they, initially, aimed to achieve the same goal sharing their skills but they misinterpreted their partnership agreements. Uni wanted to develop a system compatible with its...

...Development of an Automated Competency Examination Analyzer with Interactive Feedback Mechanism and its Effectiveness Submitted by: Bensan, Jester L. Chapter I PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND A. Introduction In a regular semester, every teaching department conducts competency exams for subjects that are included from the course outline’s in-semester subjects. A competency exam for a given subject is composed of 50 questions. Every question has 5 choices, in which the 5th choice is either all of the above or none of the above. All questions are gathered in a question bank, which questions have been verified correct and validated before actually using them on actual exams. From that question bank, set of questions will be analyzed and selected to form a subject’s competency exam. A problem may arise if the questions found in the test bank, which are probably just paper documents, or unsecured electronic files, are stolen, manipulated or snooped. Also, there is a high probability that the questions found on exams are just the retake of previous batches, thereby encouraging cheating and disclosure. The process of selecting questions from the test question bank is also troublesome and time-consuming. The task of choosing questions based on difficulty and domain of learning may be quite confusing especially if one decides to select the questions manually. It may require a lot of patience and keen analytical skills to obtain a competency exam in which questions...

...Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has alumni that have affected the way people live in the Hudson Valley. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, commonly known as R.P.I., has many postgraduate students that have shaped the world into what it is now. The institute was founded in 1824 in Troy, New York. Many people who have studied here have gone on to do many significant things. They offer courses in 6 major schools: Engineering, Architecture, Business, Humanities, Management, and Science. Rensselaer, located in Troy, NY, has many notable and innovative alumni that have affected not only the Hudson Valley, but the entire world. Many alumni have done impressive things once they’ve graduated in the Business, Technology, and Engineering fields. One thing that has been around forever, and will continue to have a large presence in society is Business. Business is the backbone of Capitalism, and the world as a whole. Many people who have studied at Rensselaer have done magnificent things in the Business field. One of the largest semiconductor companies in the world is Texas Instruments. They make calculators, cellular handsets, and processors which are used all over the Hudson Valley. Texas Instrument’s co-founder, J. Erik Jonsson, went to R.P.I.. In an article by Texas Instruments, it states that “Erik Jonsson was a man of extraordinary talent and vision who combined a successful business career at TI with superb leadership of the diverse community of Dallas”.

...the morning. Most students are not fully woken up yet when they start learning. How are kids supposed to be asked to complete an algebra or history test that early in the morning when their brains aren’t fully functioning? Students would be more willing to learn because they won’t be in a grumpy mood. They’ll be awake and the teachers can get more accomplished. Paramus Catholic Regional High School consists of students from 120 different towns. Students who live a half hour or even an hour away have to wake up extremely early just to get to school on time. Some student’s have to take the public bus. The students at Paramus Catholic get dismissed very early. Instead of making the students arrive to school so early in the morning, the faculty can make school start later and the students will get dismissed later on in the after noon. Another good reason why getting dismissed later on in the afternoon is because a lot of parents work and don’t get let out until five at night. Students have to be home alone by themselves and sometimes have no ride home if their town does not provide a bus. Students in sport activities often have to wait at school for rides for several hours. Teenagers have very busy schedules. After school, most students stay after for sports. They have practice every...

...it was extremely important to pursue development in ways that used resources judiciously and protected key environmental systems. In this case, university could play a significant role to raise awareness of the fundament of climate change that, if wrongly treated, could pose a threat to food security. In this context, university could coordinate reviews of the scientific evidence on the links between climate change and food and develop a research agenda. The Seminar was moderated by Prof. Dr. Ir. Ahmad Sulaeman, M. S., the Vice Dean of the Faculty of Human Ecology. Three commentators included Prof. Dr. Ir. Hardinsyah, M.S., Prof. Dr. Ir. Ujang Sumarwan, M.Sc., and Dr. Soeryo Adiwibowo.

...have come to a complete standstill. Talks, when they do start, become called off rather quickly. Both sides see the other as being intransigent and both sides feel their own perspective has not been heard by the other. In the midst of all of this are the students who have been out of school for a long time. The faculty too is frustrated as they feel caught in the middle between the University and the sessional/part time staff. The union for the instructors has been lobbying both students and tenured faculty to take their side in this conflict. The administration has written a few letters to students and faculty themselves defending their perspective. Some background information: Last year, the faculty negotiated a pay raise with the University of a 5% increase over a period of 3 years. In contrast, when the sessional/part time instructors’ contract came up for renewal this year, the University offered these instructors an increase of only 2.5% over a period of 3 years. The sessional/part time instructors feel that this difference in increase represents inequity. The University justifies paying sessional/part time instructors less than permanent faculty on the basis that the sessionals are usually young, mainly women, and are used to working for less pay for equal work because differences in pay based on gender and age are evident in most other jobs in society as well. Most everyone in society agrees that there is nothing wrong with this justification for paying...

...English 1301 07/09/10 The debate of whether college athletes receive special treatment has been an ongoing issue for decades now. College is a very difficult task to complete, especially when trying to balance both sports and academics. With that being said, education should be their main priority. College athletes should have all of the same responsibilities as non-athletes as far as academics are concerned. So should college athletes be exempt from normal class? The athletics department is considered to be one of the most revenue making departments in many colleges. Therefore student athletes are many times allowed special treatment with regard to minimum school requirements. While I do understand that athletics are a very important part of the college experience, it should not be the main priority. The priority of a college is to provide students the opportunity to earn not just a degree but a skill that will help them to succeed in the real world. The cost of living is very high and just keeps getting higher, for a person to be competitive in todays job market it is almost necessary to have a college degree. The number of athletes that actually turn professional are few. Most athletes don’t go pro after college so they should make academics their number one priority in order to get the full educational experience. Those that do make it to pro are at high risk career ending injuries on a daily basis. That is why it is really important that student athletes be encouraged...
