Are block grants feasible instruments for reforming federal grants-in-aid through consolidation, deregulation, and devolution? What criteria should be used?

Public Administration Questions

The State Education Department of Jay (an imaginary 51st state) requires any person who wishes to teach in its public schools to have earned an M.E. degree (Master of Education) from a classroom-based program, pursuant to a regulation it adopted last year, which superseded its previous practice of individual reviews leading to approval for some teachers whose degrees were awarded by online programs. The Jay State Legislature enacted a statute requiring any licensing decision to be treated as a contested case, as well as the 2010 MSAPA. Article 4 of MSAPA requires agencies to provide evidentiary hearings to persons wishing to challenge their decisions in contested cases. Arthur took all his required coursework in person at Hamilton State Teachers College. His mother’s serious illness required him to move back to Jay State suddenly and he used up all his savings, so he was unable to pay required fees by the Teachers College deadline, and lost the opportunity to obtain his degree. However, Jay State’s Extension College, which is primarily an online program allowed him, for a nominal fee, to transfer his credits there and thus to earn an M.E. degree from them on that basis. Does Arthur have a right to a hearing to challenge the Jay Education Department’s decision to deny him teaching certification as its rule precluded certification based on an online program? Why or why not? Would the result be any different had the federal APA applied? Why or why not? (minimum 500 words)

Question/Text Reference: Administrative Law: The Sources and Limits of Government Agency Power, Feldman, Daniel L., Sage Publishing (2016)

Find two examples, a good one and a bad one, of data visualizations used recently in the media. You can use any online source such as online newspapers, blogs, social media, etc. For each of the two visualizations, briefly describe (3-5 sentences) its features (what makes it good) and/or bugs (what makes it bad).

Data Visualization

This homework assignment has two parts. 

Part 1:  Find two examples, a good one and a bad one, of data visualizations used recently in the media. You can use any online source such as online newspapers, blogs, social media, etc. For each of the two visualizations, briefly describe (3-5 sentences) its features (what makes it good) and/or bugs (what makes it bad).  Create a document named

“Vizzes – YourPreferredName.docx” (e.g. “Vizzes – Zarko.docx”) that includes the two visualizations, or links to their original sources, and your descriptions.

 

Part 2:  Create three charts that visualize some aspects of the data about the 10 vizzes that we generated and collected (using DataViz Tinder form).  The raw data will be available on Sakai in the Data subfolder of Resources and is named “DataViz Votes.xlsx”.  Please, add any calculations and formulas to this file, in separate tabs, and include your charts in another tab named “My Vizzes”.  In this tab include your name as well as brief descriptions of the charts.  Please, submit the updated and renamed file as “DataViz Votes YourPreferredName.xlsx” workbook on Sakai.  To receive full credit, at least two of your visualizations should include data about the adjectives assigned to the 10 vizzes.

 

Deliverables:

  • “Vizzes – YourPreferredName.docx”
  • “DataViz Votes – YourPreferredName.xlsx”

 

 

Create a program that takes as input the names, the payroll number, the hours worked and the rates per hour paid for each employee.

Programming

Create a program that takes as input the names, the payroll number, the hours worked and the rates per hour paid for each employee.
The program should be able to calculate the monthly pay for each employee.
The pay per day for the employee is calculated by multiplying the hourly rate and the numbers of hours worked.
The program should be able to capture the details of at least 10 employees but should have the capability of allowing the user to exit before capturing the details of all 10 employees or to continue adding more details of employees after reaching the minimum number of 10.

The details of the employees and their monthly pay should be saved in a text file.

Choose one hardwood tree and one softwood tree from your home country or from North America using this Wood Finder Database E. • C. Provide the correct values where decimal points are involved, e.g. “.45” means 0.45, nat 45.

English Question

We have spent the last lesson learning about the mechanical properties of wood. Prior to that we talked about growth rings and extractives. All of this makes a difference when choosing lumber for various projects.

To give you a break from writing, we modified the format for this reflection. This reflection is aimed at familiarizing you with the technical terms of wood and also the process of finding such information for a specific wood type/group. Choose one hardwood tree and one softwood tree from your home country or from North America using this Wood Finder Database E. • C.

Using information from the database on the two wood types that you chose, provide as with a table like the one below.

  • Be sure to include the correct units for the quantities that you enter (if their values have a unit), e.g., for modulus of elasticity and crushing strength.
  • Provide the correct values where decimal points are involved, e.g. “.45” means 0.45, nat 45.
  • In addition, include photos of the standing trees that supply the two selected wood types. You may/will have to go to other web sources for the tree photos (provide titles xid web links).

NOTE

  • To relate to what we learned in the lesson, crushing strength is another name for compression strength parallel to (or along) wood grain.
  • Similarity score will be high — stress not — but everyone must find, on their OWN, values for the required properties using the provided source (plus additional sources for pictures).
